A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, Effectual and Convenient Cure
for Catarrh.

IST Sdkdtf''s
or catarrh remedies there is no end,
but of catarrh cures there has always
been great scarcity. There are many
remedies to relieve, but very few that
really cure.
The old practice of snuffing salt Wa
ter thru the nose would oftsn relieve,
and the washes, douches. powders and
inhalers in common use are very little,
If any, better than the old fashioned
salt water douche.
The use of infaleTs and the appllca7
ton OF salves. washes and powders TO
the nose and throat to cure catarrh is
no more reasonable than to rub tina
back to cure kidney disease. Catarrn
is just as much blood disease as kid
ney trouble or rheumatism and 1T can
not be cured by local treatment any
more than they can be.
To cure. catarrh whether in the mead
throat or stomach an in! ernal antsep-
tic treatment is necessary to drive the
catarrhal poison out of the blood and
system, and the new catarrh cure Is
designed on this plan aite the reinarka-
bic SUCCESS of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
is because, being used internally, II
drives out catarrhal infection thru ac-
ton upon the stomach, liver and bow
els.
William Zimmerman, Of St Joseph,
Mich, relates an experience with catarrh
which Is of value to millions of catarrh
sufferers everywhere. He says: I
neglected Slight nasal catarrh until II
gradually extended to my throat and
bronchial tubes and finally even my
stomach and liver became affected. but
as was able to keep w and do days
work let 1t run along until my hear
ing began to fail me and them 1 real
iusd that I must get rid of eatarrh or
lose my position, as ! was clerk and
my hearing was absolutely necessary.
Some of my friends recommended an
ishaler, another catarrh salve, but
they were no good in my case. nor was
anything .slse until I heard OF Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and bought package
1t my drug store. They benefited me
from the start and in ess than four
months / was completely cured of ca
tarrh, aitho / had suffered nearly all
my life frcm 1t.
"They are pleasant to take and so
much more convenient 10 use than 9TH
err catarrh remedies that I feel I can
not say enough in favor OF Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets"

TriaI-Brief Story of the Crime.
snecial to Times-Rerublican

Special to Times Republican
Newton, Feb. 24.--Rapid progress was
made in the trial of Mrs. Lavelleur for
the alleged murder of her husband,
Frank Lavelleur, today. The jury
was secured. the opening statements
of counsel made and taking of evidence
begun this morning. A great deal of in
terest is manifested in the trial AMI
the court room is crowded TO hea:
the evidence.
The following jury will decide the
fate of the accused woman:
In his opening statement County AT
torney Cragan recounted the circum-
stances surrounding the alleged muir
der of Lavelleur April 26, 1892. The
motive for the murder he said would
be shown in the frequent family quar-
rels and the fact that Lavelleur had
decided to Mrs. Layelleur, who was his
fourth wife, u piece of real estate, to
revert to her in the event of his death.
Mrs. Lavelleur it was claimed had con-
ceived an intense hatred for the old
kept out of possession of the land as
long as he lived is claimed to nave fur
nished an additional reason why she
desired to have him out of the way
The state also expects to show by
competent witnesses that Mrs. LaNel-
leur had often threatened the old man S
life. The state expects to prove by
a witness, Mrs. Langren, that Mrs
Layelleur struck her husband In the
head with an AK that the blow killed
him and that she then dragged the
body into the she'd like barn where
1t was found after the fire had par
TALLY destroyed it. The defense, how
ever, will attack Mrs. Langren's testi-
mony as incompetent and unworthy oil
credence from the fact that Mrs. Ian
gren is q person of unsound nina ana
has been in the asylum. Mrs. Langren
made her home with the Lavelleur fam
jly for some. time and it is claimed had
personal knowledge of the crime.
The defendant appeared in court this
morning. dressed in black and occom-
panied by four daughters by former
husband She apparently is uncon-
cerned, but takes much interest in the
examination of witnesses. Mrs. La
velleur is n German woman, about 90
years of age and speaks English very
brokeuiy.
The story Of the murder Of Frank
Laveileur Is familiar to- Times Repub-
lean readers. On the 26th of April,
1902, fire destroyed small barn on the
I.avelleur place. When the fire hal
extinguished the body of Lavel-
ieag was found in the ruins. An exam
nation of TIE -emains disclosed ter
.ible wound IN the head, evidently made
by some blunt instrument probably
an AK. The coroner's jury refused 10
blame Mrs. Lavelleur and later a grand
jury, after Investigating. refused to in
dict At the next term of court the
grand jury found a true bill.

pally on the nations hero, Washing
ton.
Washington, he said, had none OF the
brillancy of the great Napoleon HE
stands forth in the hearts of his coun-
trymen, because of his simple and dis
interested devotion to duty in the I'D
Grafton of his country. He was master
of greater art than war, he was pro-
ticient in the victories of peace. The
alliance of his intellectual faculties
with his vast moral character made
him great. His supreme conservation
to duty made him a model worthy OF
emulation The memory of Washing
ington is one of the pleasantest her
itages left to the true American.
President Mclean also addressed the
assemblage. and in regard to athelet-
les spoke as follows: "A new attn
letic erea was established at Iowa I'm
iversity in 1898. We have learned true
craftsmanship as is evidenced by the
way we have stood up the past year

geuher to wipe out the $4,000 debt
started in 1899. Other institutions have
worse debts than Iowa to work against.

BURKE INTRODUCED
RESERVATION Bill
Proposes an Amendment to this
Present Treaty by Providing
for demonstrating.
LANDS ARE APPROPRIATED
$4,000 for Lands Taken for Schoo
Purposes Limitations to the
Homestead Clause of
the Bill. .ts-

Washington, Feb. 21.-Representative
Burke yesterday introduced a bill to
ratify and amend an agreement entered
into between the United States and the
Sioux Indians residing on the Rosebud
reservation in South Dakota, to replace
the bill now on the calendar.
Mr.. Burke's bill proposes to amend
the present treaty by providing that
lands shall be disposed Of under the
homestead laws at 49, SO per acre. The
terms of payment are fixed by the bill
In this wise: so cents per acre to be paid
when entry is made, SO cents in two
years., so cents in three years, SO cents
In four years, and so cents within six
months after five years, which prac-
tically means after final proof. 1t also
Is provided that the United States shall
pay $2.50 per acre for sections Is and
So, Which are set apart as school lands.
The original treaty provided that
$3.50, 600 shall be expended in the pur-
chase of stock cattle for Indians, and
that $15S,000 shall be paid to the Indians
within four months after the ratiica-
lion Of the treaty. -
The Burke bill of yesterday, how
ever, proposes to amend the treaty
providing $250,000 for stock cattle by
providing that only one-half of the
money received during any one year
shall be so expended, and the other
half given in cash to Indians per cep-
TIA.
The Burke bill, should it pass, will
not become a law until ratified by the
Indians, n also provides that any
lands not taken within four years aft
er the passage of the act and it's ratifi-
ration shall be disposed of at public
auction at $3.50 per acre, and the pur-
chase of such lands be limited to 100
acres to any n person. The Burke
dill calls for an outright appropriation
of 100000, which is to pay for such
Gands as may be taken for school pur-
poses.
Representative Burke said that he
had, prior to framing his bill, talked
With the committee on Indian affairs,
md also with Agent Mclaughlin, who
lrew the original treaty, and was in
!ormed 1t would be agreeable to the
indian bureau, and Colonel Mclaughlin
expressed the belief that it would be
acceptable to the Indians. 1t is the
opinion of Representative Burke that
The Indians will accept the amended
treaty, and he is also confident that he
ean push the bill through both houses
IF congress during this session, ''be-
cause" said Mr.. Burke, "it was primar-
!ly prepared expressly to meet objec-
lions made by Uncle Joe Cannon"
: The original treaty called for an ap-
preparation outright Of $1,400, 900.

TEMPERANCE WAR ACUTE
Several Badly Hurt In Riot Due 10 Bit
ter Eaalinn at McComh.

Findlay, o., Feb. 20.-The village Of
McComb Is in q temperance war which
threatens to wipe the townoff the map.
Some time g the citizens, under the
Beal local option law. voted to GUST
looms. Everything went well and the
temperance party decided It was a good
thing. Soon, however, despite that It
was a dry town, many drunkards wete
seen. The marshal refuses Ito arrest
these. There are no Saloons said he,
land these people can't be drunk
Prominent citizens thought other
wise. and the marshal was charged
with neglecting his duty. After a trial
before Mayor Cooper the marshal was
dismissed. Since this time the feeling
between the anti-saloonists and the
pro-saloonists has been growing. Fights
in the street are daily occurrences.
This morning at 3 o'clock "Bondy''
Deans saloon was discovered on fire.
The fire department had its flames I'M
der control when the water stopped.
Some had cut the hose. While it
was being repaired the building burned.
After the blaze some one accused an
anti-saloonist Of firing the building.
Words were exhanged and a riot start
ed, ! n which B. r. Freed was seriously
and y. Hoyt badly injured. Further
bloodshed seemed imminent when cool
er-headed citizens arrived and peace
was restored.
