TWO CASES OF BANKRUPTCY.
J. Il. Smith and II. c. Porter Want
Debts Wiped Out.

EE
Cedar Rapids, Jan. 2.-How far q man
can get into debt by small accounts con-
unued for a long time in several places
is pretty well illustrated by the bank
ruptcy petition Of John II. Smith, OF
Belle Plaine, filed in the federal court on
Wednesday morning. None Of the petit
toners debts are very large in individ-
ual items. Yet the aggregate Is the tidy
sum Of $4.S03.29. Some Of these debts are
In the name Of John II. Smith and some
are in the name OF E. E. Smith, presume
ably the petitioners wife, altho the Pc
tition does not state. Some of the debts
have been running since the year 1873.
The petitioners assets consist OF one
small store, known as a racket store,
now in the name of John H. Smith, for
merly In the name of E. E.. Smith. He
states hat the goods in this store are
valued al $500, but this is small COM
fort for his creditors, since 1t is further
claimed that the goods We're bought
with pension money and are therefore
exempt, under the provisions Of the
statute. The other assets consist Of a
top buggy. valued at $40, and some SAM
pies of marble and granite.
Another petitioner to file his sched-
ules with Clerk Stewart, of the federal
court. is Henry C. Porter, of Lone Tree.
Mr.. Porter was IN attorney Who appar-
cntly did not find his profession lucra-
tive among the law-abiding people of
Lone Tree, for his schedule records la
tilities to the amount of $685..

Upton, is looking for cities that will

Horms Of catarrh, whether In the head,
I throat, bronchial tubes or in the stom-
ach and liver.
The remedy is in tablet form, pleasant
and convenient to take and no special
secrecy is maintained as to what 1T con-
tnins, the tablet being q scientific COM
bination of blood root, red gum and sim
liar valuable and harmless antiseptics.
The safe and effective catarrh cure
may be found at n drug store under
the name OF Stuart,s Cataarh Tablets.
Whether the catarrh is located in the
rose, throat, bronchial tubes or stom-
ech, the tablets seem to act with equal
success removing he stuffy feeling in
the head and nose, clearing the mucous
membrane of the throat and trachea
from catarrhal secretions, which cause
the tickling, coughing, hawking and
gagging so annoying to every catarrh
sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to ulcer
ntion, In some cases to such an extent as
to destroy the nose entirely and in many
Did cases Of catarrh the bones of the
head become diseased. Nasal catarrh
gradually extends to the throat and
bronchial tubes and very often to the
stomach, causing h very obstinate
trouble, catarrh Of the stomach.
Catarrh is a systematic poison, inner
emit in the blood, and local washes,
douches, salves. inhalers and sprays can
have no effect on the real cause OF the
disease. An internal remedy which acts
upon the blood Is the only rational treat
ment and Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is
the safest Of all internal remedies as
well as the most convenient and salts
factory from a medical standpoint.
DR.. Eaton recently stated that he had
successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets in old chronic cases. yer where I'LL
ceration had extended SO far as to de-
etroy the septum Of the nose. He says:
II am pleasantly surprised almost every
day by the excellent results from
stuart's Catarrh Tablets. It is remark
able how enectually they remov the ex-
cessiye secretion and bring about a
healthy condition Of the mucous MEM
branes OF the nose, throat and stomach

Boone Boys Head Saved by Space Of an

Boone, Jan. 2.-Every time VIII

up with a great feeling Of thanks that
he still has it on his shoulders.
Last Friday he came within q hairs
breadth Of having 1t blown into a bat

shifted out forever.
The intervening space of an inch or
two saved his head from being the tar

Express Messenger A. O. Hotchkins
came up from his run IN the road and
laid his heavy shotgun which he carries
with him for protection from robbers, a
gun that is loaded for big game, for
human game, on the Office safe.
1t was picked up by NJ. II. Wooley,
who examined it in an offhand manner
and then started to take the loads out.
The muzzle was pointed directly at
Schaffner, who was but a few feet In
front. Suddenly there vas a flash and
a roar that shook the neighborhood.
wooley was almost kicked into the
middle of next century. When the
smoke cleared away a big solid mass Of
lead was found buried in the wall bare

Burlington, Jan.s2.-Friends in this
city are taking a great interest in the
case of Cobus Buss, the railway mail
clerk whose run is thru this city, where

He was arrested recently on a charge
OF robbing the malls. He was given his
preliminary hearing and was bound over

here yesterday.
According to the reports, there is very
strong evidence against Buss. The prln-
cipal witnesses were inspectors Houk
and Reed, of the postoffice department
who, having suspected Buss of having
committed the numerous robberies that
had been going on, set a trap for him.
The result was a great surprise n q
sad shock to all who know him.
These inspectors testified before the
commissioners that they took into their
confidence two other clerks In the cal
and put seven decoy letters in the maj
which Buss would handle. Then they
waited until the train reached LaGrange
or Canton, when they went into the cal
and arrested Buss.
They found thirty-f1ve letters and foul
merchandise packages in the waste pa.

They asked Buss where the contents
were and he pointed to a certain pigeon
hole in his case, and said the contents

coroner's verdict is that he came to his
death at the hands Of unknown persons,
and was undoubtedly murdered, as his
hat was found ten feet from his body,
Indicating a struggle. No motive can be
ascribed. The officers are at work. AL
exsen lived alone. being a widower. He
leaves three sons and n married
daughter. The murder is still more
mysterious from the fact that on his
