DITCH CONTRACT 19 AWARDF.D
Indiana Firm Dl Bayer Cnt-Off
Extension.
the supervisors of Pottawattamie county
went to Logan yesterday where a Joint
session as a drainage b.rd waa held with
the aupervisor of Harrison county.
The contract for the conatructlon of the
Boyer cutoff extension ditch waa awarded
to Stenberg A Sons, of Fort Wayne, Ind.,
on their bid of 7 8-100 cents ner cubic yard.
There were seventeen bidders and the
supervisors feel that the contract was
awarded at a very low figure. There are
are about six miles of ditch to be dug,
and the cost is estimated at about S41.O00.
All of the new ditch Is In Harrison county,
although forming part of the Pottawattamie-Harrison
Joint drainage system.
Only three bids for the work on the
Beaton ditch lateral were received and
these the board considered too high so
they rejected all three and will probably
resdvertlse for bids.
f The Western Dredging company wa or
dered paid the 20 per cent which had been
been held back on the Boyer cutoffs No.
1 and No. 2 contract. The court recently
dissolved the Injunction against these two
pieces of work, but the order atlll remains
In force against the Willow creek ditch.
The supervisors returned last evening
and will devote today to committee work.
They will reconvene In adjourned session
Friday, at which time they will hold
another hearing In the matter of the papera
seeking the contract for publishing the
board a proceedings for 1909.

OLD LIOLOR LAW KLY1SED
Supreme Court Pe verses Former Rul

IN LINE WITH FEDERAL C0URT3
Representative Miller Makes a Tart
Rejoinder to llrcnlar Sent Oat Br
the Stnte Board of Health
Omaha Firm In Des Moines.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Feb. ll.-(8pecial.-The
lowa supreme court delivered a remarkahle
decision today, reversing two previous de
cisions on the same subject and holding
that the law as passed by the twentv
elghth general assembly forbidding solicit
ing of liquor sales on behalf of outside
companies is good. Previously the court had
held that this law was In conflict with the
Interstate clause of the federal constitution
and therefore declared the law null and
void. Now the t'nlted States supreme court
ha decided in a South Dakota rase that
laws similar to the lowa law do not violate
the federal constitution. Hence the Iowa
court reverses Itself. It also holds that
despite the previous declaration a to the
nullity of the law It Is now In full force
and effect.
The law forbids soliciting sale of liquor
to thoe other than authorlxed deale-a. The
case came up on the hearing of McCollum
against McCaughey, from Washington
county.
Miller Round t'p Doctors.
Representative Miller of Bremer county,
formerly chairman of the democratic state
committee, made a feeble effort today to
put into the proceedings of the house of
representatives a little life. There wa
placed on the desks of the members yeter
day the current bulletin of the State Board
of Health In which wa an attack upon
Miller for hla meddlesomeness In the mat
ter of questioning the acts of the doctors of
the stat". Miller arose to a question of
privilege and discussed the matter at great
length, making a severe attack upon the
state board and doctora generally. At the
conclusion Inman of Floyd offered a con
current resolution' for an Investigating com
mittee to look Into the quarrel between
Miller anc? Secretary Thomas.
The senate passed the forenoon discussing
the Clarkson bill, changing the rule aa to

measure desired by the miners especially.
Senator Saunders offered an amendment
providing for a notice to the employer In
caae where he has no actual knowledge of
the dangera of the employment Thia waa
discussed, until the noon hour today, when
the bill went back' to, the judiciary com
mittee.
Short Recess Only.
The senate reconsidered It vote for a
Joint adjournment the latter part of the
week and 'changed It so that tbe senate
alone .will take - a recess from Thursday
evening until Tuesday afternoon. The
speaker of the house Is opposed to any re
cess at this time, as the houae la much be
hind in It work.
The house passed a bill by Brandel rais
ing the age for admission to the Industrial

Rftter to give countlea the right to pave In

A bill in both houses would pay $366 to
Jonah Smith as chaplain for the Iowa vol
unteer regiment while they were In camp
in Des Moines In 1898, while getting ready
for the war against Spain .
A bill by Saunders would pay a contractor
on the deaf school $109 on a contract where
the settlement waa not fair .
Tax Dodacra ti. Tax Ferret.
The largest and most Interesting hearing
yet given on any measure wa that upon
the proposed tax revision meaaures, and
especially upon the proposal for exemption
of mortgage from taxation and requiring
an additional filing fee. The Joint commit
tee heard those who are Interested and the
bill was explained by Senator Hunter and
Representative Ward. There were delega
tions present from Sioux City, Davenport,
Dubuque and elsewhere to discus th pro
posal. ' Ex-Senator McCoy, who I engaged
aa a tax ferret, wa the principal opponent
of the measure. Th discussion Included
the whole rang of tax dodging, double tax
ation, Interest on money, etc. It is probable
there will b other hearing on the same
measure, a there waa not time for com
pleting th discussion.
Reward for Msrdrrer,

tion offering a reward of $S00 on behalf of
the state for the conviction of tha man
who killed Miaa Rosen at Ottumwa. This

Information from Ottumwa Is to the effect
that there Is not the slightest clue to th

Insurance Money Hot Esmst.
IOWA FALLS. Ia., Feb. 10 Special.)
An interesting case Involving the extent of
exemption of life insurance money ha lust
betn brought out m th caae of Mr
Magdalen Dougherty and it ia probable
that the ruling of the court will be ap
pealed to th supreme court for final ad
judication. The sum Involved Is $5,000,
which the husband of Mrs. Dougherty left
hrr. Before her estate or that of her hus
band's could be properly administered, th
wife died and th claimant was a son, who,
as heir, held that the insurance money
aa exempt, but the court took the poaitlori
that had Mrs. Dougherty lived and her
husband's estate had been properly ad
ministered, th Insurance money would
have been exempt, but that under the

Married Misery
1'eoplc often rely oh nature unaided to'
correct evil but it doesn't. One aim of
corrective medicine should be to do
away with married unhappiness. At
the bottom of a deal of misery is found
lack of cheerful yielding. Mean self
ishness is as surely due to ill-health as
famine is to failure. Ungovernable tem
per a third fault is largely the outcome'
of stomach disorder. All these causes disappear
when stomach and liver are keyed to a finely,
balanced tone. The first sign of on-coming Bilious
ness, Indigestion or Headache, should suggest old

Constipation is always aggravating. A costive person is hard!'

move bowels gently once a day. That's enough. . .
FROM NEW TORK WORLD, JUNE 10. '08
DRUGGIST SAYS COOPER
WOKE UP RECENTLY
Westerner Claims Everybody Will Have To
Take His Medicine Eventually.
New Tork has never before witnessed
uch a spectacle a may be seen every
day at Broadway and Ninth streeta. It I
here that L. T. Cooper, the Western
stoinachologtat. who claim that stomach
trouble I at the bottom of all chronic 111
health, I meeting the public
It would be difficult to estimate Just
how many people call to talk with Cooper
during a single day. The store where he
Is holding forth seems to have become the
Mecca for ailing people In New, Tork. and
the amount of medicine he Is disposing I
enormous. In addition to what he sells
himself, druggist generally throughout
New Tork are handing hi preparations
out In unlimited quantities.
A leading druggist said recently: "Th
public seems to have lost It mind over
thl man Cooper. Personally, I don't know
anything about his medicine. W had
nothing to do with hi coming to New
Tork and he ha until recently sold hi
preparation through one company, I sup.
pose he thought New Tork was Ilk one
of his Western town and everybody could
be supplied from a comer drug store. He
wwke up about a week ago and put It on
sale everywhere. Blnee then we have been
selling It. I don't know how long this
demand will laat, but I have never before
seen anything 'like It.,"
! In an Interview- Monday afternoon
Cooper wald:' "I am not making any wild
claims for my medicine. All tt doe I to
atimulate the gastric Juice and regulate
the digestive organs, but people do not
reallao how splendid their health would
be If only their stomach were not languid
and enfeebled by year of abuse.
AN AGE OF
The successful specialists of today are not the one who try to cover th
whole field of medicine and surgery and know Just a little about every ail
ment, but the ones-who are thoroughly experienced and conversant with a
certain cla of diaeaaea and the complications that enaue. The physician or
specialist who tries to explore and conquer the whole field of medicine and
surgery doe not become export or proficient in any particular branch. You
cannot place the same confidence In the ability of a doctor who scatters his
faculties as one who concentrates all his forces on a paticular specialty.
We are Uvtnc in an ae of specialism:
an age when success can best be obtained
by the concentration of every thought
upon the unswerving purauit of a slnglo
object. We ar precisely such special
ists. W have confined our practice ex
clusively to diseases of men and mastered
them. - Years of close study, thouaands of
dollars spent in researches and scientific
investigation, reinforced by an Immense
practice, enablea ua to prescribe a ayatem
of treatment that 1 a thorough, prompt
and aafe cure. All that expert skill, vast
experience and scientific attainments can
accomplish ar now being done for those
who apply to us for the help they need.
If you are suffering from any of the
diseases peculiar to men. call and conault
ua In time. The leaat expense 1 always
Incurred through the early employment
of genuine professional skill. It will cost
you much less to secure proper treatment
at the commencement, than to experiment
and place yourself under the doubtful

Monday afternoon: '"it la hard to realise
that any medicine will do all that is claimed
for It.
"I have, taken all kinds ef modfclno for
ten year and this' rs tha first I hav over
found that was worth two cent. I have
had rheumatism constantly f of 'ten years
and have spent a quarter' of what T made
for doctor and medicines. ' t might have
taken so much rain water for all the good
they did me. Before' I had take thl
Cooper's New Discovery a week, I realised
It was worth something. ' I have taken it
a month and I am as well a ' I ever waa
in my life. I hav no rheumatism" and eat
like a horse. I 'feel like doing-something
now, where a month ago I hated to walk
a block. When I first bought It I thought
It wa another faka, but now I Jknow bet

worth nothing; thl, I,' wprthlltn.n yog,
