Waterloo, Dec. 1S.-The officers after
spending a month in searching for a
law on the statute book of Iowa which
will fit the case of the woman who en-
tangled Miss Young, the hotel laundress
in a life of shame, have been compelled
to acknowledge that the greater crimi-
nal must go unpunished for lack of law
in the case. Miss Young stole money
from the hotel to give to the woman
who had dragged her down and who
held a peculiar and wicked power over
her. Miss Young is still in Jail and will
no doubt waive examination and be IN
dicted by the grand jury, plead guilty
to the theft of the money which was
recovered and sentenced to the peni-
tertiary, while her debased friend will
travel in good society in neighboring
city unknown to the general public be-
cause her name has never been made
public. Miss Young had for months
surrendered her wages to her.

mistaken, for before the trial concluded

They immediately came here and ar

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.
catarrb Is Found Everywhere.


Catarrh is at home anywhere and
everywhere. While more common in
cold, changeable climates, it is by no
lent in every state and territory in the
union.
The common definition of catarrh is a
chronic cold in the head, which if long
neglected often destroys the sense of
smell and hearing; but there are many
pther forms of the disease. even more
obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes as well as eatarrh of the stomach
and liver are almost as common as
nasal CO arrh and generally more diff

Is concerned.
DIR. McIverney advises catarrh suffer-
ers to use a new preparation, sold by
druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, because actual analysis has shown
these tablets to contain certain anti
septic qualities of the highest value and
being an internal remedy, pleasant to
the taste, convenient and harmless, can
be used as freely as required, as we'll
for children SIS for adults.
An attorney and public speaker, who
had been a catarrh sufferer for years,
says:

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to
head the list as household remedy, to
rheck and break UP coughs and colds,
because unlike many other catarrh and
cough cures these tablets contain no
ppiate, cotsaine or any injurious drug.
