Des Moines, la., May 14. (Special
Telegram.) Sergeant Cordvll of the
Iowa National Guard shot and killed
an Italian near the Great Western
bridge south of here this afternoon
when the man made a gun fight to
resist arresl. lit: escaped from' the
house where guards were searching
him and when commanded to halt
pulled a 38-calilicr revolver from his
pocket and began shooting.
Cordell wounded the Italian, but the
latter kept on shooting. Cordell then
put a bullet through the man's head,
killing him instantly.
Several Italians were in the house.
Search revealed one high-powered
rifle, two revolvers ami considerable
ammunition. The house was not far
from the bridge. Many shots have
been tired at soldiers guarding this
bridge.
Census Material at Hand.
All the material of the census of
1915 taken by the slate is now avail
able and ready for use and it will be
compartively easy to revise it and
bring it down to tlate for conscrip
tion purposes. Ora Williams, who
as state document editor was also
editor of the census, declares that it
would be comparatively easy to take
the material which is now on hand and
revise it. The original cards are al
ready available and at the service of
the public.
"It is probable there is no other
state having at the present lime such
a fine listing of its population," said
Mr. Williams. "The work was done
under the direction of the state ex
ecutive council, which planned it well.
The original material was gathered
by the assessors. The work of get
ting back the returns and having the
tables compiled was done by A. Vt
Swan and that he did the work well
is proven by the fact that more than
one incompetent who thought that the
state would stand for any kind of
poor work clashed with him when he
held them to a strict accounting for
accurate work. All this material was
put into the census book we issued
last year. I am proud of the little
part I had in arranging the tablet
and comparisons and writing the story
of Iowa progress therefrom. But the
best of it is that the material is here
and ready for use when much of it
is really needed in a way not contem
plated at the time."
Volunteer Company.
A volunteer company of eighty-two
enlisted men has been organized at
Oelwein. J. J. McCarthy and W. G.
Brenigan have asked the governor to
incorporate the company into the Na
tional Guard. Their request has been
referred to the adjutant general.
Hoyt May Succeed Brown.
Former Senator E. H. Hoyt of

The Machinery
of the Body.
IHy DR. I. W. SIIORTI
The body is a highly organized
machina of complicated parts in which
the liver and the kidneys work for the
common good. Damage to either one
of these organs interferes with man as
a motor mechanism. The automobile
expert kno-ws how important it is that
the carburetor does not (ret too much
fuel, along with sufficient air to burn
or explode the gas. Too much fuel in
man's machine, such as eating too
much meat, or alcohol or tea, and the
liver cannot "turn over," nervous
over-work and lack of exercise in out
door air bring constipation and bad
health. Eat less meat, plenty of vege
tables, and with air and good exercise
you need little else. If the liver needs
rousing and most of us need this
once a week take a safe vegetable
extract of the leaves of aloe, May-apple,
root of jalap made into a tiny
sufcar-coated pill, and sold by almost
every druggist as Dr. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets first put up nearly fifty
years ago.
Most people die eventually of an
over-acid condition. If the blood can
be rendered more alkaline, the longer
we live. With regular hours, plenty of
water between meals, sensible coarse
food and a chance to get the poisons
out of the system, a man will live to
be a hundred. But, unfortunately, our
highly nervous way of living bring in
creased storage of uric acid in the
body. This acts as a poison, and we
suffer from lumbago, aches or pains,
rheumatism, gout.
Get rid of this uric acid poison by
taking a harmless medicine called An
uric, which throws out the uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys. Drink a pint
of hot water before meals and take
Anuric (double strength), three or
four times a day. Anuric can be ob
tained at almost any drug store.

enjoying the patronage of the second and third generation.
1TK thoroughly appreciate the interest Omaha
women display in showing to their friends
and visitors this Great Store and so we arc ever
striving to make it better and better.
FN studying the interests of our patrons, we add to
the accommodations and conveniences wherever
improvement is possible and so to make of this
Main Floor the most attractive place to shop in in
this Great Western Country, we are going to cover
it entirely with Marble.
1200 square feet will be taken at a time, to mini
mize the inconvenience you may be put to, but
even with this care exercised, we know you will bo
somewhat inconvenienced, and will ask your kind
indulgence until we shall have finished this fine
improvement.
IT will take about five weeks to complete the task
and then wo shall have ono of the finest stores
in the United States. We are also installing three
new elevators on the South Wall, directly opposite
the thres elevators now in use. This will give addi
tional and easy access to the store from Basement
to Third Floor.
