Iowa Falls, Dec. 1i.-Recent develop
ments in railroad circles indicate that
the Chicago Iowa & Dakota railroad is
a victim of the merging system and that
at an early day the road will pass Who'll
ly into the control of the Chicago d
Northwestern Company and be operated
as a part of that system. The events
that indicate this result are these: 1t is
reported that few weeks ago Conrad
Miller, the president of the road and IN
close touch with the John /. Blair inter-
ests. purchased all the stock in the c., l.
& d. that was held by Iowa parties.
Following closely on this comes the re-
Guest that all the officials of the road
resigned. This has been done and Cen
eral Manager II. S. Stuart has been
called to New York City, and his visit
will no doubt result in something def
Mite being known in relation to the
roads future. The old report is natural-
ly current that in the event of the c., l..
& D. is merged with the Northwestern
the line will be extended northwesterly
from Alden to Eagle Grove to connect
with the Northwestern at that point.
The c., I. & d. has been run for years
as an independent road, but with close
traffic relations with the Northwestern.
1t runs from Eldora Junction to Alden,
about thirty miles.

KILLED TIE HIRED MEN
The Bastian Farm in Rock Island
County. Illinois. Scene OF
Many Murders.
Former Owner Known to Have
Killed Eight Men -. Their
Bodies Found.
Bastian Murdered His Hired Men
to Avoid Paying Wages Due
Them.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Dec 14-With her mind
tortured with the grewsome find made
by her husband, William Hoffman, VINO
lives on the Bastian farm in Rock
Island county, Mrs. Hoffman declares
she Will never return to her home again
and as result, indications are that the
home Of Henry Bastian. multi-murder-
er. who killed eight men during a per-
iod of a few years and buried the re-
mains about the premises. will soon be
lonely and deserted. A few days ago,
while doing some excavating near the
house, Hoffman dug UP the remains of
man supposed to have been those Au-
gust Johnson, the eighth known victim
of Bastian. The remains were nearly
decomposed. however enough clothing
chung to the body to identify it. Mr..
Hoffman says he will also leave the
Bastian farm and seek home amid
more pleasant surroundings.
The known list of Bastian's victims
includes the following: Fred Kusch-
mann, Fred Kriensen, John Lauder
bach. Marshal Lewis, Axel Sternberg.
Hugh McCafferty, Ernest Miller and
Angus. Johnson. There is good reason
to believe that other bodies lie crum-
bling to the earth of the Bastlan soil as
other men mysteriously disappeared
while working for Bastian and it is now
thought he murdered them just as he
did eight other persons who We're at
different times employed by him on his
farm. In fact. neighbor who lives near
the farm. says he knows where another
body is going to decay on the blood
stained farm but says he will not dis
close the whereabouts of the remains
for fear of being involved in the crime.
Bastian laid his plans WELL He en-
ployed men not we'll known in the vi
entity. He paid them no wages, prom
Using them money after they had worked
several months. Instead OF paying his
men, he murdered them and buried the
bodies at different places on the farm.
About three years ago the remains Of
Ernest Miller were found along the road
near Bastlan's farm. At first it was
thought that he had fallen from horse
and had broken his neck However, an
Investigation developed the fact that
Miller had been killed with club. Bas-
tian was suspected, was arrested and
placed in Jail. The disappearance of the
other farm hands OF Bastian was COM
mented on. The sheriff made an exam
ination Of the premises and found two
decomposed bodies. one under hog pen
floor the other under a brush pile
When Bastlan learned of these facts, he
committed suicide. Since then, FIVE
bodies have been accidentally discov-
cred on the farm and every time Hoff-
man digs post hole. he expects to turn
up the skull OF human being.

a FEW REASONS.
Which Are Rapidly Making New
Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. the new
Catarrh cure, has the following ao-
Santages over other catarrh remedies
First: These tablets contain no CO.
caine. morphine or any other injurious
drug and are as safe and beneficial foI
children as for adults; this is an Inn
portant point when it is recalled that
many catarrh remedies do contain these
very Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this
remedy does not deteriorate with age
or an exposure to the air. as liquid
Preparations invaribly do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but It is
% far more convenient to carry and te
use at any time that it was only ques-
ton OF time when the tablet Will en-
tirely supersede LIQUID medicines as II
has already done in the medical de-
partment of the United States army.
Next: No secret is made of the COM
position of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets;
they contain the active principles OF
Eucalyptus bark, red gum. blood ROOF
and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptlcs
which. however, are death to catarrhal
rerms wherever found, because they
Eliminate them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and
throat, because these are simply local
symptoms and such treatment can not
possibly reach the real seat of catarrhal
disease which is in the blood: for this
reason. inhalers. douches. sprays and
powders never really cure catarrh, but
simply give temporary relief which a
dose of plain salt and water will do
Sust as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the
system, out Of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy is
the only kind which can be assimilated
Into the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this bet
Ter than the old form OF treatment be-
cause they contain every life specific
known to modern science in the anti
septic form of the disease.
Next: The use Of inhalers and
Spraying apparatuses, besides being in
lffective and disappointing, is expen-
pive. while complete treatment OF
Etuart's Catarrh Tablets can be had at
any drug store in the United States
and Canada for so cents.
