GREAT GUILT SEEN Blood Money In City Treasury Called Price of Corruption. MINISTER LAYS BLAME ON VOTERS Sketch of Sermon Delivered Yesterday Morning at East End Presbyterian Church by the Pastor, Rev. W. H. Hormel.

"Great guilt rests somewhere for the blood money in our city treasury, the price of corruption. I propose to show this morning that the man with the ballot is responsible for all the political sins in Ottumwa." above are quotations from the sermon delivered yesterday morning at the East End Presbyterian church by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Hormel.

The Epeaker's text was taken from Matthew, chapter twenty-seven, verses twenty-four and twenty-five. "When Pilate saw that he would prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent of the blood of this person: see ye to Then answered all the people, and 'his blood be upon us and our Voter Responsible. Rev. Hormel's sermon was a plea for citizenship rather than par- tude are one and the same in our American citizenship; (2) that the man with the ballot is responsible for all the political sins in Ottumwa; (3) that the reasons given for neglecting the responsibility of the baillot are are thin as the water with which Pi- great political sin is committed means of the American ballot. by DANGEROUS DEVOTION TO How Roosevelt Came Near Missing the Inauguration of McKinley.

A seated in solitary grandeur in the senate chamber.while the ceremony of a presidential inauguration to which he hase been invited as an honored guest is going on outside, surely presents a spectacle with an element of humor in it. Few persons know how near Theodore Roosevelt came to playing such a part on the fourth day of March 1901. The senate stickles so far for minor details of etiquette that even a reformer of Mr. Roosevelt's sturdy type would hardly have ventured to transgress its rules, and they require that a formal motion to adjourn shall be put before a day's session can come to an end. After his inauguration as vice-president in the senate chamber, Mr.

Roosevelt took the gavel, and when the routine business was flinished, directed the sergeant-at-arms, as usual, to proceed with the ceremony of inaugurating Mr. McKinley as President. It was then in order for some senator to move an adjournment; but in the confusion nobody seemed to have his wits about him, and the whole assemblage, including the senators, quitted the chamber for the east portico, where the oath was to be administer- ed and the address delivered. In a tisanship. The sermon dealt with conditions as they exist in Ottumwa today, and the speaker thought that the remedy lies in the ballot box and that it is the voter who is responsible tor the existing state of corrup tiou.

A brief sketch of the sermon is given herewith: Sketch of Rev. Hormel's Sermon. The bible is a safe guide book for every geneiation because it is a true portrayal oi' human nature in every possible maniiestation of it. Same Sin in Ottumwa Today. In the treatment that Jesus received both trom the Jews and from Pilate, we see the sin set forth that is common America, and in Ottumwa oday.

Pilate would rather hand Jesus over to cruel injustice than to displease his party machine at Rome and lose his position. "If thou let this man go," the multitudes cried to him, "thou art not Caesar's friend." Perverted Justice. The Jews with their leaders were ready to pervert all sense of austice, in order to do away with this just and Innocent man who was standing up for the rights of the people, the poor the widows and orphans, whose houses they were devouring, and whose backs they were loading with heavy burdens. Sin Against Twenty Centuries. Jesus and Pilate and the crucifying multitudes are in Ottumwa today only greater, infinitely greater guilt rests upon the American Pilates and multitudes.

Jesus and justice and righteousness are better know today. We sin against twenty centuries of light which is streaming upon us from the cross of Christ. Our Political Sins. Our free institutions with which we pervert justice have been bought with the blood of twenty centuries of martyrs and patriots. Who can measure the guilt of our political sins? Ottumwa's Political Corruption.

Jesus is represented in every man, woman and child who is suffering in Ottumwa today because of political corruption. Jesus is being crucified afresh. Pilate has his followers and BO has the multitude of Jews and Gentiles. Blood Money in City Treasury. Great guilt rests somewhere for the Hood money in our city treasury, the of corruption.

You citizens of Ottumwa cannot the guilt of these political sins from your soul by washing your hands in water. Look at the water with which the modern Pilate washes his hands: cannot do anthing. These politicians can outwit us every time.

March prominent New York republican in Washington yesterday, speaking to your correspondent of political matters in general, the possibilities in New York state and the availability of the various candidates mentioned for the democratic nomination and the-certain ty that Roosevelt would be able to beat any of them in the Empire state, made some observations concerning tariff modifications that will be of interest to Iowa people; in fact, this gentleman predicated his remarks upon the sentiment that prevails to a considerable extent on tariff lines. Said he: "The very fact that the utterances of your Governor Cummins, so far as they relate to tariff revision, should be regarded in the east as 'bold' and revolutionary in character, simply goes to show to what extent the course of ultra-protectionists has demoralized the business and commercial interests that are now alleged to shy at the suggestion that some alterations in a tariff that was never proclaimed as perfect may be desirable. "The most that the advocates of some action on reasonable lines ask from the republican national convention is simply a declaration that some schedules are no longer needed and that others are too high. These advocates do not even go to the point of specifying what schedules are meant; they do not undertake to suggest even the principle by which the proper basis shall be attained. They dp not hint that they propose to insist to the point of extreme measures.

They are content to make vague and general complaint on a proposition that is of such a nature that a clear and specific statement of desire and purpose might easily be made. For this mild suggestion these advocates are denominated rebels, traitors, free traders and accused of being disturbers and radical reformers. The trouble is the Iowa crowd and those who believe in the doctrines of Senator Do 1 liver and Governor Cummins and Congressman Babcock are altogether too modest, too mild and easy." Upon his return to Vienna, Prof. Lorenz, the famous surgeon, who came to America last winter primarily to perform the "bloodless" operation upon the hip of the Armour child, in Chicago, but whose operations during his visit numbered hundreds, wrote of his impressions of some things he saw in the United States. His article has been translated by an Austrian gentleman in this city.

Mr. 4 -Roosevelt with equal solemnity, put nation to obtain legal authority to practice surgery in Chicago, are well the motion, declared it carried, and worth reading.

Kidneys are simply blood filters, their business is to keep the blood pure by straining from it the impurities resulting from either faulty assimilation or the ever constant tissue changes. When they are well they do this. When chey are sick and can't accomplish their function the body suffers from retained impurities. The body is a living furnace consuming a fuel of food. Food burned in tne body gives nourishment for substance, and heat for force and accomplishment, and the residue of ashes that result from the burning.

If the kidneys and accessory emunc- tories fail to carry off the ashes the blood becomes loaded with such matter and in its rounds through the tissues deposits more or less, of it to clog the machinery 'of life', impede function and become fit soil to breed and nourish germs of disease. It is the beneficent mission of Dr. Fenner's Kidney and Backache Cure to put the kidneys in shape to filter the blood and keep it pure and whole some, thus freeing the tissues from all waste products that impede function, give distress, or engender and harbor disease. Dr. Fenner's Kidney and Backache Cure is for sale at drug stores, in 50 cent and one dollar sized bottles.

There is no other medicine one-half so good to free your blood from all impurities that cause headache, backache, muscular weakness or stiffness and pain, rheumatism and gout in every form, and all those kidney ails and incompetencies that permit accumulation of the debris of tissue change.

The figures thus collected show that the total international commerce of the world now aggregates about $21,000,000,000, of which it appears. $10,000,000,000 are exports and $11,000,000 are imports. The fact that all exports eventually become imports, and that all imports have originally been exports, suggest that the export and import figures should be very nearly tho same. The difference noted above may be traced to transportation or other charges which seem to indicate that in values, imports are in the lead. These figures, as related to exports, flatter our pride not a little, when it is seen that by comparison with twenty of the greatest world powers, the United States was in 1902 the largest exporter of domestic merchandise, while in 1S7C she was fourth in the list, being outranked, as to exports, by France, Germany and the Unite'd Kingdom.

In what is called "favorable balance of trade," or excess of imports over exports, this country also holds first place among the nations, her excess of exports over imports being not only greater than that of any other country, but actually more, in 1S91, than the total excess of exports over imports of all other countries whose exports exceed imports. The United Kingdom leads the world ia the matter of imports, two to one, and in the United States, three to OBU, according to the figures of 1891. As far as this country is concerned, the business of exporting and importing represents the day of small beginnings, the trafficking of the United States with other countries dating back to the year 1790. Major Fleming, who for so many years filled tie responsible office of private secretary to governors of Iowa, and who is now employed in the treasury department, calls attention to the fact that Gen. Wm.

T. Clark, who was quite hurt in an accident in Chicago Tuesday, was at one time a prominent figure in Iowa, having in fact served the Thirteenth Iowa regiment as its adjutant general at the outbreak of the war in 1861. According to Major Fleming, whose memory is said never to fail, Gen. Clark was at one time during the forties a member of the bar in Davenport, having been a partner of John P. Cook, who represented that part of Iowa in congress from 1853 to 1855.

Later, on account of signal ability, Gen. Clark was appointed on the staff of Gen. Hal- leek, and later upon the staff of Gen. McPherson, having been with the latter when he was killed. At the close of the civil war Gen.

Clark cast his lot in Texas and reached such prominence that he was elected to congress from the Lone Star state and served two terms. Gen. Clarlc afterward moved to Colorado and while there was appointed to a position in the office of the inspector general of internal revenue. manner. My examiner, a local patriot, was delighted to listen to the praises of Chicago.

I admired the colossal growth, the amiability of the inhabitants, the wonderful business activity; all solemn truth. did not allow my examiners to put in a word, but I commenced to speak of those wonderful hospitals of Chicago; all again pure truth. My examiner smiled again in a delighted manner, and said "As for the ladies of Chicago "Ah, it is not true," said my examiner, "such women do not exist in the whole world." "Queens, pure queens," I replied. Then I told my judge, in order to elicit an opinion, that this was not a question for the praise of women, but I was supposed to undergo a strict examination, and I commenced to speak of my specialty, my new methods, and how I came to apply them ana the results I had accomplished. My judges thanked me for the beneficial information and accorded me my license.

I had passed the examination brilliantly. My career was'instantly inaugurated. one of the clerks'ot this office na if an hour I was declared to be the adjoining room and waited until I a licensed doctor of the states of Illi- and Ohio. I paid would be called in to the audience. Never will I forget the moment when suddenly the door opened and there apepared a big man in long, simple Prince Albert coat, who bore an umnistakeable likeness to my Chicago policeman.

The open, smiling mouth showed a threatening row teeth that was shaded by of a white short mustache. The resemblance to my Chicago policeman was a striking one, only tbe helmet was lacking, but I knew who stood before me. Mr. Roosevelt stepped rapidly to me and said: "Are you the famous doctor of Vienna? Let me shake hands with you. Just this morning Mrs.

Roosevelt spoke of you," and the President jovially shook my hand. I could not help laughing in his face although it nois fees and Ohio. I received my entrance at once my large parchment diploma. After this strict official examination was passed. I was congratulated by all the gentlemen present in the most extraordinary amiable manner and proclaimed to be one of their own.

The whole formality should not be regarded as a vexation, but as an important protection of my person against the attacks of the numerous "quacks" on an unlicensed doctor. So I am grateful to the members of the board of health of Chicago for their kind protection. i As a remarkable indication of the growth and prosperity of the manufacturing intertsts of the United States it may be stated on the author-' New Cure for Weak Lungs.

One of the 1903. were manufacturers' ma- tlemen present, a high dignitary, kept one hand concealed in his pocket, and another dignitary had placed his knee upon a chair. That struck me as very surprising.

Without any further formality he bade us good by in the most charming manner, and then returned, I presume, to his Venezuelan difficulties. To return to my critical situation in Chicago. If I had refused the examination, everybofly would have pointed at me and would have said.

'Ah, ha, he does not care to undergo an examination." I would then be compelled to retire. I therefore had to attempt it, although it seemed to be an assured prospect for a brilliant failure. But still the revenge would nave been mine. I would have simply said after my failure to my strict judges: "Gentlemen, suppose you try to undergo an abrupt examination after twenty-two years have lapsed.
