"Theodore Roosevelt will be elected presi
dent of the United States. This Is a fore
gone conclusion." This was the statement
of Hon. James Wilson of Tama. la., secre
tary of agriculture, who arrived In Council
Bluffs yesterday morning from Colorado
and will remain here until Monday, when
be will go to St. Joseph, where he speaks
Monday evening.
Secretary Wilson Is enjoying the best of
health and waa greatly pleased to be back
In Iowa. He planned making a short visit
to Tama, but was prevented, and he then
decided to rest over here until Monday. Mr.
Wilson when seen In his room at the Grand
hotel was more Inclined to talk about the
wonderful crops thla year than about poll
tlca, although he Bald he had not the
slightest doubt of President Roosevelt's
election. He ha Just completed a tour of
Colorado and his observations while In that
state caused him to aay:
"Colorado will go republican as sure as
Iowa will. . There Is, of course, some dis
sension over the state ticket, but the atato
will be for Roosevelt without any doubt."
Mr. Wilson also expressed the opinion
that Governor Peabody and the entire state
republican ticket would bo elected In Colo
rado, i
Referring to matters which seemed more
to his Uking and about which he was more
willing to talk Secretary Wilson said that
the com crop this year was the largest
the United States had ever seen. "As 1
rode through Nebraska on my way from
Colorado I had the privilege of seeing the
marvelous crops along the Platte river val
ley. Nebraska this year has the greatest
crop of corn of any state In the union.
Iowa, of course; Is a great corn state, but
this year Iowa had a little too much rain
and the conditions . In Iowa were not as
Ideal as they were In Nebraska.".
Reverting to politics Becretsry Wilson
said he believed the republicans would
carry Nebraska this year without any
doubt.
Regarding wheat Mr. .Wilson estimated
that the crop would fall short about 60,000,
000 bushels this year. The 'trouble with the
wheat crop In the. Dakota and other wheat
raising states, all the way to the Pacific
coast, was that the farmers had exhausted
the land by continually planting wheat In
stead of rotating 4hir-rops, as they did In
Iowa. Planting wheat every year, he aald,
had exhausted the fertility of the land and
weakened the crop 86 that It rusted. Mr.
Wilson, however, looks for better things In
the wheat crop, as the department of which
he Is the head has been Importing seed from
Algeria and - the banks of tho Volga In
Ruasla, which Is known aa "durum" wheat
and will produce'erops In localities where
the rainfall does not exceed ten Inches In
the year.- Experiments with this seed, he
aald, had ahown that crops could be raised
of from twenty to thirty bushels an acre
In localities where heretofore It was con
sidered Impossible to raise wheat owing to
lack of sufficient rain.
-.During the day a number of his friends
and leading republicans called upon Secre
tary Wilson at his apartments In the Grand
hotel. .

Watch for It, something new coming at
Leffert's. .
'' Bloomer School Is Closed.
The Board of Health, at a meeting spe
cially called yesterday afternoon by Mayor
Macrae, ordered tho Bloomer school closed
for one week. This action was taken on
account of trehe having, been two cases of
diphtheria among tho pupils attending this
school, reported last week, one case (that
of the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. James
Thomson) resulting fatally.
While the board announced that a thor
ough Investigation showed that there was
no epldemlo of' diphtheria in the city
schools It decided to order the school closed
as a matter ot precaution. There was a
suspicion that probably there were other
cases in the school which had not been
reported and as the period of the Incuba
tion of the diphtheria germ la about aeven
days It was thoi'ght best to close the school
for this week, so that by tho time It is
opened again, a week from Monday, the
danger of further contagion will be prac
tically past. The building was fumigated
and disinfected from cellar to garret yes
terday snd this will ba repeated at Inter
vals during the week It Is closed.
Dr. Macrae, at the board meeting, stated
that be had called tho members together
as a number of persons whose children
were attending the school had become more
or less alarmed since the death of the
Thomson child. This alarm, he contended,
was unfounded and was dus, he said, to a
great extent by certain papers trying to
glva the Impression that there was an epl
demlo of the disease, whils in fact there
was not.
Watch for It.

Because we have got Into the pernicious
habit Of eatlni too fust,. ;
Dr. Curtis, the great authority onthla

the eating of very hasty, or particularly
large or' Indigestible meal." , ,:

tom, you can ensure your safety by taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

admits of no dispute, that if you will only
keep your digestive- apparatus In good or
der, you, will never suffer from thla dread
disease, which, ' at, best, means a weak
ening operation, with long weeks wasted
In bed, and big doctor's and surgeon's bills
to pay ss souvenirs.
Keep your appendix In health by the
proper use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
whenever you have laid yourself opeft to
danger by overeating, and upon the' least
sign of stomach or Intestinal trouble, for
otherwise, at any tints, this dangerous dis
ease may lay you low.
The curative influence of this great medicine-
Is Quickly shown-in the gentle, sooth
ing effect it has on all Inflamed conditions
of any part of the digestive tract,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tubleta tone all these
parts up to a proper . condition pf perfect
health, and regulate their functions Into a
proper working stats.
They also make away with all the causes
of Irritation, Inflammation or Indigestion, by
helping to dissolve, digest and assimilate,
or put to proper use. all tho food which Is
lying around In odd corners of your diges
tive apparatua, fermenting, rotting and
curdling, like so much garbage In a dirty
aink.
In these natural and perfectly simple
ways, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets restore
all sufferers, from any form of dyspeptic
trouble, to health.
They are safe and reliable. They never
fail to relieve and cure, quickly and per
manently. I'se them, and you need never worry
about your appendix varmlfonnlg.

Charles Cackley, whose record Is a moot
remarkable one. Cack'ey was a soldier In
an Iowa regiment snd soon after hla return
from tho war to Van Buren county ho got
Into trouble and waa arrested. While In
cuatody of a constable he got Into a quar
rel with him and the constable Was killed.
Cackley was thrown Into Jail, but man
aged to escape and disappeared completely.
He went to Missouri and settled In Wash
ington county, where he changed his name.
married and raised a large faml'y. After
thirty-seven years living under an as
sumed name ho applied for a pension and
hla Identity waa disclosed. Officials went
from Iowa and brought Cackley to Keo
aauqua, where the old indictment still
hung. He pleaded guilty to murder In tha
second degr and was given the minimum
sentence. He was committed to prlsoiwlast
spring. His old neighbors In Washington
county, Missouri, appealed for a pardon
and showed that during a'.l these years
Cackley had been an upright cltlxen and
had shown that he was not disposed to
crime. He Is old and feeble, and was lit
erally torn away from a large family who
had never known of hla past life. Many
old soldiers who had known him also pe
tltloned for his pardon, and in view of his
age and long career of honor, he was or
dered released, and he will be given hts
liberty and sent back to his home In Mis
souri next Tuesday.
Who Got Stolea Money f
The papers were filed tocay in an appeal
of the case of the Bank of Irwin against
the American Express Company, from
Shelby county, and the higher court Is
asked to decide as to who got tho money
that was supposed to have been taken
from a package sent from tho Des Moines
National bank about two years ago to the
bank In Shelby county. In tho lower courtI
the bank won and got Judgment against
the express company on the theory that
the company lost the money at Carro'-I,
where tho package passed through several
hands. Now tho company appeals to ths
supremo court and will attempt to show
that tho package never had any money In
It when delivered to the company in D"s
Moines. The company complains beovfse
It was not allowed to Introduce evVence
showing that the Des Molnea bank Aad at
other times lost similar large sris and
that there was evidence showing tat there
was a belief In the bank that someone was
going wrong there. Tho Des Moines bank
has since recovered a Judgment against a
surety company for largo tosses occurring
about tho same tlma.
Payment for Insane Cases.
The aupreme court of Iowa today ren
dered a decision In a caae Involving In
terpretation of the law applying to Insane

orize the payment by an estate of tho ex
penses of an Insanity trial and the ex
penses of transportation of a patient to a
state hospital. The counties may secure
return from an estate of. tho amount ox
pended In the. support of . an .insane pa
tlent at either a state or county hospital,
but it is held that none of the other ex.
penses can be thus collected from the as
tate or relatives of an lnaano peraon, Thla
la contrary to the cuatom which haa pre
vailed in many counties of the state.
Congressman Hull Returns.
Congressman J. A. T. Hull returned to
day from New York, where ho Is ono of
the managers of the national congressional
committee. His time has been wholly oc
cupied with the work of that committee,

that a republican house will bs secured

deal of work has been necessary, he states,
and it has been difficult to make a cam

of Interest, but now the voters havs be
come Interested In tho questions and he
feels confident the campaign will end tri
umphant for the republicans.
