Special TO Times-Republican.
Boone. May s.-The jury in the Van.
Gorder bigamy trial brought in a YER
dict Of guilty Saturday night. The YER
dict was arrived at at 10 o'clock after
several hours de%liberation. The case
caused a great deal of interest here. 1t
will be remembered that Van Gorder
came to Boone last winter and sue
lceeded in winning the affections of
Anna Kennerson. a well-known and
respectable young lady OF this city.
Shortly after their marriage 1t was dis
covered that Van Gorder had a wife
living in the east. from whom he was
not divorced. Van Gorder at the trial
claimed he had good reason to believe
his first wife was dead, but letters in
troduced in evidence showed he had
been corresponding with her up to al
most the date of his marriage to the
Boone girl. The maximum sentence for
his crime is five years in the peniten-
tiary. He will be sentenced late this
afternoon and will probably get nearly
the full penalty.

A SPRING DISEASE.
More Catarrh at This season Than in

Any Other.
The fact that catarrak is more preva-
lent in spring than any other time of
year is easily accounted for by the sud
den changes. the warm sunny day sue
ceeded by the snow or sleet of the next.
Repeated colds in the head resulting
from our tickle spring climate Very cas-
lily drift into nasal catarrh, which is at
first simply an uncured cold. Which
finally. il neglected, causes infiamma-
ton and thickening CT the mucous
membrane of the nasal cavity which
gradually extends into the throat and
bronchial tubes and to the stomach,
causing catarrh OF the stomach.
Douches of salt water or douches of
any kind very often %aggravate the
trouble by still further irritating the
delicate membranes.
The safest remedy for colds in the
head and for any form of catarrh is
some simple and safe a%ntiseptic, pre-
ferably in tablet. and taken internally
several times a day.
One of the best antiseptic catarrh
tablets for this purpose is one composed
of sanguinaria. eucalyptol and guaia-
col. and sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets clean the catarrhal Sc
erection from the membranes OF the nose
and throat and act also very effective
ly upon the blood, their regular use fol
a few weeks entirely eliminating the
catarrahl poison from the system.

Des Moines, May 8.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows:
week was above normal. tho consider
ably cooler than the preceding week.
Frosts We're observed on the mornings
of the Sd, 4th and 9Th at various local
tiles in the northern and central dis
tricts, and on the morning OF the 5th
the minimum temperature at numerous
stations was below 80 degrees, causing
the formation OF ice IN shallow water
in many places. Tho too early to note
all the injurious effects of freezing tenn
p%erature, the general opinion seems to
indicate that apples, plums and cher
ries suffered but little damage. The
tender vegetation and small fruit on
low ground We're somewhat injured.
the aggregate of damage by freez-
ing will be quite small.
The week was very favorable for
blowing and other farm work. and
nearly all corn ground is now in readi-
ness for planting. "A fair start has been
made in corn planting, but the weather
was not sufficiently warm to incite
much activity in that line.
Most of the reports mailed on the 9Th
noted the fact that the soil was becom-
ing quite dry, and that rain was need
ed for the grass and grain crops and to
facilitate blowing. The needed moist
ure vas generally supplied by the
copious showers OF Saturday night and
Sunday. and the crop outlook at pres
ent is quite fattering.

Against secret Societies.

Against secret Societies.
Dubuque. May s.-The Catholics of
Dubuque are generally pleased with the
rumor that Archbishop Keane is to be
appointed to succeed the late Arch
bishop Hennessy. They recognize in
Archbishop keane a mar of great
ability. Rev. Father Wedich, of ST.
Mary's German Catholic church, is
making a crusade on the secret so-
%cieties. He mentions the Modern
Woodmen in particular. Father We
rich's crusade is attracting widespread
attention in his own church. There is
an element that is opposed6to it. This.
element is composed of some Of the
most influential OF the congregation.
They say that Father Werich's crusade
will be productive of more harm than
good. The domestic tranquility of
many homes is already disturbed by 1t,
inasmuch as the mems wives are urg-
ing their husbands to drop out of the
secret societies to which they belong.
The husbands are 10th to do this, they
say. and rather than give up their in
surance in these societies, on which.
they have paid out hundreds of dollars.
in order that in case of their death
their children would not be paupers.
they will quit the church. Another
point they state against Father Werlich
is that he is inconsistent in denounc-
ing secret societies. inasmuch as the
tchurch harbors within her doors 500
%cieties as secret as the Masons or Odd.
Fellows. They point Il the Catholic.
Order of Forresters. knights of Column
bus and other Catholic societies whose.
deliberations are secret and whose
members have pass words and other
| signs of recognition.

Some weeks ago Fry warned his neigh

could not get his heavy %pulverizer

sought to cross the forbidden ground.
He was stalked by Fry, who in his rage
emptied both barrels of his shotgun at
Landreth and then attacked him with
the gun as a club. Landreth is in a

examine the books, vouchers and settle

such services to charge one-half of all
sums SO discovered n collected, and to
assist the proper officials Of the county
in the discovery of property not listed
and assessed for taxation, for UGH serv-
ices to receive 10 per cent of the taxes
paid to the county treasurer. This is a
forward step, as it is we'll known that
the mere agitation of the question of
employing tax ferrets has this year
caused a large increase in the return of
property and especially moneys and
credits to the assessor. The actual re-
turns from all owe the country show an
increase of 81, o2o,0Oo over the returns of
last year. The increase in moneys and
credits alone over last year outside of
1.-The banks, is about so per cent. OF

must3he creditedgto good times and pSos-
