XXXVIII.NO. 99 CRESCO, HOWARD COUNTY, IOWA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1897. $1.00 PER YEAR Remember Angels' Comedians will be at the Opera House all next week. Watch for further notices of this flrst class company in our future issues. Fred Erler, wife and daughter re turned Friday from an overland trip to Plymouth, Iowa, visiting there and intermediate poiuts. They were in Alta Vista the morning after the re cent railway collision, before the wreckage had been cleared away and report it a bad smash up. The Catholic order of Foresters held their State court at Cedar Rapids last weok, and from what tho Cedar Rapids Gazette says of its doings, it was a brilliant affair in music and oratory. John M. Cannon, of this place, made a happy and felicitous response upon the call of the toast master of the occasion. He also de livered the principal oration, his masterly production in Eulogy of Gladstone for his defense of the right of home rule for the people of Ireland. The address appears in full in the Gazette, and in the near future we may give it to the readers of the PLAIN DEALER. It will be fresh, new and good at any time. It is one of those rare productions that will ever be fresh it the love of civil and re ligious freedom remains a factor in the world's progress and civilization. At an examination before Judge Fellows held in bank at Decorah for the purpose of discovering property supposed to belong to the estate of his uncle, Dr. F. W. Daubney testified to having $7,000 in money which his uncle as a gift previous to his death in September last, gave to him as his favorite nephew. Four months after this, according to the Republican, assessor McMasters called upon him to give in his property for assessment and taxation. And the Re publican says this is what the assess ment list show: 2 horses, valued at $2-1 8 vehicles (his buggies) valued at $30 Taxable house hold furniture no Total of all personal property $91 If Mr. Daubney owned this $7,000 at that time and failed to have it listed he in swearing to his property as all he owned of .personality, was guilty of perjury. If he would swear falsely to avoid the payment of taxes on his $7,000 claimed as a gilt from his uncle, he would swear falsely before the court to retain its possession. But if when the assessor called upon him he had a lurking suspicion that the $7,000 belonged to the estate of his deceased uncle, it was a duty enjoined upon him by law, to have had it listed for assessment and taxation. If that $7,000 belongs to the estate and not to Dr. F. W. Daubney, then he adds theft, robbery of the estate, to the crime of perjury. Whether it belongs to him or to the estate, withholding it frpm assessment is robbing the state, the county, the public schools of the just proportion of taxes it should pay and imposing its burden upon the farmers and taxpayers whose property, land and cattle is of such a nature that it is found and assessed. The question as to the rightful ownership and possession of this $7,000 has not been settled by the examination had before Judge Fellows who in his de cision said: "There is in these pro ceedings no adjudication of the case as between the parties." Do the farm ers, the honest taxpayers of this dis trict of Howard county, desire such a man to be their Senator? Catarrh Poisons- Catarrh is capable of changing all t-lie life-giving secretions of the body into scalding fluids, which destroy and inflame every part they coine in contaot with. Applications to the places affected by catarrh can do little good save to soothe or quiet dis agreeable symptoms. Hence it is that gargles, sprays, atomizers and in halants only serve as temporary re lief. Any medicine to effect a cure must be taken into the symstem. So long as the irritating secretions of catarrh continue to be formed so long will the membranes continue to be inflamed, no matter what treat ment is used. There is but one remedy that has this rnoRt desirable effect, and that remedy is Pe-ru-na. This remedy strikes at once to the root of the catarrh by restoring to the cupilary vessels their healthy elasticity. Pe-ru na is not a tempo rary palliative, but a radical cure.
