PFS MOINES, Dec. 29. ( Special.) Not
before In mar.y years has the city of Des
Moires been so nearly up against a real
fuel famine as at this time. The product
of the coal mines which are In the vicinity
of the city is nearly all taken by railroad
companies, or is contracted for to be
shlpLfd elsewhere. Although there is
abundunt coal here for local consumption,
yet the dealers find they cannot get it, and
they are bringing in more coal than usual
from other points. But, despite thla, there
Is not "UiHic!nt coal In the bins cf dealers
and consumers to last more than two week
and the situation Is alarming. The only
hope is in warmer weather for a week or
two until the coal can be secured from
other places. The anthracite coal strike
also had the effect of bringing Into use the
many more furnaces using soft coal than
ever before In this city and In Iowa, and
increasing the steady demand for coal from
the local fields.
Election Contest On.
An election contest l on in Marlon
county at Knoxville between E. B. Ruck
man, republican candidate for county au
ditor, and A. W. Vandervlelt, democratio
county auditor, who was a candidate for
re-election. The returns aa first reported
from the precincts showed that Ruckman
had a small majority, but when the vote
was canvassed it was found that Vander
vlelt bad a small majority. The charge of
forgery was made and evidence introduced
to show that the figures were changed.
Later the matter was carried to the grand
Jury. In the formal contest, which is now
practically concluded, it was shown that
not only were the figures changed, but
from one precinct the sack containing the
ballot waa opened and the ballots changed,
so ps to correspond to the returns. The
matter has stirred up a good deal of 111
feeling in the county.

Cherokee Hospital Fall.
Superintendent Voldeng of the state hos
pital at Cherokee has written to the chair
man of the state beard of control in refer
ence to the necessity for the establishment
of another district for the Inebriates in
northern Iowa. It 1s found that the new
hospital at Cherokee, which haa now been
open four months, is practically full. It la
therefore deemed advisable to establish
another place for the inebriates, or to have
the hospital at Independence designated ar
a place for them. If this Is done the north
half of the state will send Its Inebriates
and morphine victims to Independence and
Cherokee, whllu those In the aouth half
will all go to Mount Pleasant. This will
leave Clarinda the only one of the four
state hospitals not having a dipsomaniac,
ward. It is not determined yet that Inde
pendence will be opened to the inebriates,
but this seem to be Inevitable.
Dedicate Elks' Hall.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the panics which they play and the enjoy
ment vchich they receive and the efforts which they make, cornea the
greater part of that healthful development which ia ao essential to their
happines when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and weeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be uch as physicians would sanction, because its
component part are known to be wnolesome and the remedy Itself free from
every objectiocable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parent,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little one enjoy,
because of iis pleaaant flavor, it gentle action and it beneficial effects, la
Syrup of Figs and for the aame reason it is the only laxative which ahould
be used by father and mother.
Syrup of Figa is the only remedy which act gently, pleaantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartica and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be ao carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicine, when medicines are not needed, and when nature need
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
It quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plant with piensant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the wubstitutes which -inscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle, rieass
