CAN NOT COMPEL VACCINATION.
Judge Bishops Ruling Against the
Board of Health.

0Oar0 OF 1edItn.
Des Moines, Feb. 19.-Judge Bishop
in ruling on the Courtney case holds
that neither the state nor local board OF
health can compel a healthful person
to be vaccinated If he has not been ex-
posed to smallpox. The statute ex-
pressly gives such boards power to es-
tablish quarantine against those in
fected or known to be exposed. But as
no mention of vaccination is included in
the statue, it is held that the board of
health, either state or local is powerless
to make a rule to compel it. That, it is
held would be legislative in it's char
acter and the legislature cannot dele
gate that authority to any secondary
body
Mr.. Courtney had been released on a
habeas corpus which was made return
able Tuesdax. While in this case the
technical point that the resolution I'M
der which the board was acting had not
been published in the official paper
might have been raised, and would
doubtless have released Mr.. Courtney
yet by agreement between the attor-
neys all technical questions were put
aside, in order that the question of law
might be decided on it's merits. This
both parties desired. The members of
the board of health had ordered vac
clnation and were seeking to enforce
the order. The defendant wanted de-
cision from the court
The opinion was oral, and covered a
wide range. considering numerous hy-

Senator Restored to Health
Peruna as a Nerve and Catarrh Tonic
the Talk of the World.

Gin these days of all kinds Of medicine
it is q comfort to know of remedy
which may be used with unquestioned
beneficial results. Igladly recommend
Peruna as safe, reliable remedy in
cases Of catarrh Of the stomach, helpful
in building up the system worn out with
overwork or age.
"Several of my friends who have used
Peruna have spoken of it In tho highest
terms, and congratulate you on its
merits"
Mrs. w. E. Grissom, Henry, Ellis Coz
Texas, writes:
~ took Peruna faithfully over two
months, and the result is thoroughly
| renovated system and strong, buoyant
feeling, to say nothing of cure Of tho
chronic catarrh. Therefore shall avail
myself of every opportunity to speak Of
Peruna as catarrh cure"
Mr.. Harry M.stevens, Midland Beach,
L. l., New York, proprietor Of t'The
Richmond" Hotel, says of Peruna:
at gives me pleasure to testify to the
Talue Of Peruna- Ihave used it for years
and have found it to be most excellent
family remedy. For colds, catarrh and
similar ills, 1t is unsurpassed" Cor
daily and gratefully,
HIM. Stevens.
Catarrh is systemic disease, durable
only by systemic treatment. Aremedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does. Peruna immediately
invigorates the nerve-centers which
give vitality to the mucous membranes.
Then catarrh disappears. Then cetarrh
is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever lo-
Gated. Peruna is not guess nor an ex-
periment--it is an absolute scientific
certainty. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.

As general rule, meat once day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children, and grains, fruit and
vegetables should constitute the bulk of
food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion. and 1t is
of 40 use to advise brain workers to eat
largely of grain and vegetables where
The digestion is too weak to assimilate
them properly.
It is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed diges-
tive organs. and several years expert
rnce have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets to be very safe, pleasant and
effective digestive and remedy which
may be taken daily with the best re-
suits.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hard
ly be called a patent medicine. as they
do not act on the bowels nor any par
ticular organ, but only on the food
eaten. They supply what weak stom-
achs lack, pepsin diastase, and by slim
ulating the gastric glands increase the
natural secretion of hydrochloric acid.
People who make daily practice of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspep-
ala Tablets after each meal are sure to
have perfect digestion, which means
perfect health.
There is no danger of forming an in
furious habit as the tablets contain alb
solutely nothing but natural digestives;
cocaine, morphine and similar drugs
have no place in stomach medicine,
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are GER
tainly the best known and most popu-
lar of all stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for SO cent pack
age OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
after weeks use note the improve
ment In health. appetite and nervous

Special to Times Republican.
Oskaloosa, Feb. 19.-The city council
labored until after the midnight hour
last night passing franchises to two
| electric railway companies and a
franchise carrying with 1t a twenty five
year contract for the lighting of the
city with electricity arc and mean
descent lamps.
The franchises were passed upon
their third and final reading and now
go before the people and there is no
question as to their adoption by the
citizens. BY the terms of the ordi-
nances Oskaloosa is to have two diff
ferent interurban lines and an urban
system of road.
The Oskaloosa and Tama Electric
road was granted permission to pass
thru the city by certain streets. This
company is organized for the con-
struction of an interurban road be-
tween this city and the town of Bux-
ton, lying southwest of Oskaloosa, in
the heart of the coal mining district.

vantage to the city as trade winner
The Interurban Construction COM

men of Ottumwa was given the right
to occupy the streets of the city or
Oskaloosa for the purpose of building
and operating an electric street rail
way. The same company was also
granted an ordinance providing for the
lighting of the streets of the city of
Oskaloosa and of furnishing heat
power and light for commercial pur-
poses.
The ordinances were passed side by
side and will go before the people of
the city for their sanction In the near
future. They have been pending for
a number of months and the people
of the city have been patiently await
ing the action of the council in the
matters pertaining to the passage or
the rejection of the contracts. Much
discussion has been INDUCED in and
the city has attracted considerable
attention to herself in having two
such propositions UP for consideration
at one time The city is joyous today,
for it is felt that the future OF the
city is assured.
Upon the heels of this work the
council passes a resolution providing
for the enlarging of the city limits
and thus starts the march toward
greater Oskaloosa-about 10000 souls.
The franchises, extending of the linn
its.. the voting of n . per cent tax to
the Oskaloosa & Tanna Company, will
keep the city busy with elections from
the present time to the the middle OF
April.
The Interurban Construction COM
pany, in addition to building local
system of electric road will construct
a line between Oskaloosa and Ottum-
wa. Construction work will be COM
menccd Immediately upon the ratify-
ing of the ordinances by the people of
the city.
