COUGHS GO.
No cough can linger when
Mayer's Cough Syrup is taken.
It is a vegetable remedy which
contains none of the narcotics
which make the majority of
cough mixtures seem to cure
when they only drug. Mayer's
Cough Syrup gets right at the
root of the matter and corrects
the condition which causes the
cough. That is why tt is so good
for children although quick in its
effect on adults' cough. We
.war
rant it. Price 25c and 60c.
DON'T CHAP.
Sore, chapped skin is an un
necessary trouble, for with a
little care the skin can be kept
•oft and healthy all through
winter's most trying weather.
All you need is a bottle of May
er's Toilet Cream and your skin
comfort is assured. Apply at lit
tle of it before going out of doors
or having hands in water. It is
a cure for chapped lips and face
too, and it is so pure and whole
some that you'll like it to use for
both. Price 25 cents.

ation. but were unable to agree on a
verdict until some time after the mid
night hour, when tlie.v decided the will
was legal and hud been made by a man

COUNTY ON PAR WITH OTHERS
Could Not Secure Priority Without Re
leasing Bondsmen—School District
and Township in the Same Predica
ment—Discrepancies Found in the
Books.
Special to Times-Republican.
Mason City. Feb. 2.—The district
court this week has been the scene of
several legal battles made by claimants
on the Bank of Thornton, defunct, ask
ing that their claims be designated
preferred claims. Cerro Gordo county,
whose case was the first to be heard,
with a claim of cash deposit of $4,
133.73, subject to a check, and a certifi
cate of deposit for $500, drawing in
terest for 4 per cent, withdrew her plea
for a preferred claim on account of'a
technical tangle, and her claim will
now be the same as the regular claims
against the bank.
In order to show that the county's
claim ought to be preferred, It had to
be shown that the bonds as filed by
the bondsmen were illegal, which if
that were accomplished the bondsmen
would not be liable for the amount due
the county. The bondsmen are J. L.
James, W. D. Hopley. Mrs. Eva Down
ing, M. P. Floy and Nels Brown, all
residents of Thornton and vicinity ex
cept Mrs. Downing, who is a resident
here and is the widow of the late G. E.
Downing, formerly assignee of tho
bank. The attorneys saw where the
matter might terminate, so withdrew
the claim.
Among the. other claimants before
the court asking for preferred claims
were the independent school district of
Thornton, $1,800 school township of
Grimes, $2,500. and the school township
of Pleasant Valley.
There Is a wide discrepancy, accord
ing to the statement of those who have
examined the bank's books and the
books of the county treasurer. It will
take considerable work to get them
into shape to make anything like a just
comparison, to base a judgment.
