IS E0PATH


The science of osteopathy was discovered
by DR. A. T. Still of Kirhsville. Mo. DR..
Still reasoned that a natural flow OF blood
is health; and disease is the effect of local OF
general disturbance of the blood; that to
excite nerves causes muscles to contract and
compress venous flow of blood to the heart,
and the bones could be used es levers to
relieve pressure on nerves, veins and ar
teTies.
A slight strain or a sudden jolting may
easily cause a displacement of bone, muscle,
tendon or organ, and n consequent pressure
on the nerves, thus breaking the nerve wave
between the brain and the part injured,
and we then may have as a result any Of
the numerous ailments caused from lack
of nerve supply to parts. Seldom is there
a permanent cure until the machinery 10
righted. Hence We treat headache (all
kinds), weak eyes, catarrh, hay fever, en-
larged tonsils, goiter, asthma, bronchitis.
deafness. Irregularities of the heart, neu-
ralgia or rheumatism (of any part), spinal
curvature TALL kinds), dislocation of Joints.
all kind of stomach, liver, kidney. bowel
and spleen troubles, bladder and urethral
troubles, uterine, female Irregularities, as

DESCRIBES HER HUSBANDS DEATH.
Mrs. Hughes. Charged with Murder,
Speaks in Her Own Defense.

SpeahS III EteE
MASON CITY, Ia, Feb. 7.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Lottie NJ. Hughes, who is now be-
ing tried for the murder of her husband,
was called to the witnes s stand at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon and for two hours detailed
recent events under the questioning of her
leading counsel. She is a frail little woman,
weighing about ninety pounds and modestly
attired in black. She is growing cheerful
as the trial advances.
In but one instance thus far has she
crossed the testimony of Jesse Goude, the
states witness, but it is evident that seri-
Gus contradictions will come later. She said
that when she left the Goude home on the
Sunday of her husbands death she saw
Goude in his room, but did not speak to
him. She was carrying a little child and the
child spoke to him and he came out and the
little one threw her arms around him and
kissed him.
She described the death of her husband
and said that she and her husband were sit
ting by the stove. He complained OF not
feeling well and asked her to mix him some
salts which he frequently took. She went
into the dining room, took the salts that
were in a tin can and mixed them at the
kitchen table. Her husband took some, then
handed the cup to his little son, who would
lowed the balance.
Hughes then went in and sat down at the
table. He was suddenly taken III and they
all rushed to his side and carried him t.
the kitchen, where he died.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Park Commissioners last night a
communication was read from the Fort
Dodge g. Omaha Railway company asking
the board to grant it a right Of way across
Lake View park. Accompanying the COM
munication was a deed from the board to
the railway of 100 feet across the water of
the lake and 200 feet across the land OF the
park, the consideration named being 81.
Owing to the absence of Member Arnd, no
action was taken and it was decided to hold
an adjourned meeting tomorrow night. The
Members Of the board present expressed
themselves as being in favor of granting
the railroad the right of way asked for,
provided it did not conflict with the rights
of Gilbert Brothers, who hold a lease for
ten years of the ice privileges on the lake,
In the right of way ordinance passed by the
city council January 10 the Fort Dodge &
Omaha road is given a right of way through
the park commencing at the northwest cor
ner, but the question arose as to whether
the city had the right to grant such a privi-
lege, as the control of the parks is placed by
the new code absolutely with the park com
missioners. Under these circumstance the
railroad, to avoid any complications in the
future, wants to make itself safe by also
securing a grant of its right of way through
the park from the Board OF Park Commits
sioners also.
