What caused the separation of the Amer
lean colonies from the mother country?
Did not our fathers love their native land?
Did they not call II home, and we're
loyal with abundant fealty? Then what
made them take up arms against their
parents? 1t was the attempt to make
English injustice into American laws.
Who did it? The British people? Never
their hands did no such sacrilege. 1t
was the mercenary London merchant,
allied with the Westminster politicians,
to secure the stamp act and other infa-
nous laws, and assisted by the tories in
the colonies, who for the offices, and the
gold they brought, enforced kings un-
Just demands. 1t was these and not the
British people who forced our fathers
against their will to take up arms
in defense of their freedom. Is here no
lesson? We love law--all Americans
love it-but true man loves it only as
safeguard of his rights and liberties.

submit to become a bondman to corpo-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it If entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the intiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hes r
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous ser
vices.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cureC by

to one story, the Johnsons will take
possession of the Bussey plant Janu-

gentlemen will take charge of the

A HOT TIME.
Quick Work of Passengers Saves An
Explosion On Train.

People returning from the south
on the Central midnight train were
treated to little exciting incident
which, but for their efforts, might
have been fatal as well as interesting,
says the Grinnell Herald. Just this
side of Abba the gasoline lights sud-
denly went out. The train was i'm
mediately stopped, and the trainmen
commenced to tinker with the cylin-
der tank on the outside of the car.
Escaping gas caught fire from their
lanterns, enveloping the car in
flames, and making an explosion seem
inevitable. BY the assistance of the
passengers, who worked desperately
to, put out the blaze with snow and
mud the danger was averted, and
those who remained in the car were
saved trip skyward

JURYMAN LEcTURED.
Judge Scott Reprimands o. D. Mozier
for Undignified Remarks.

Judge Scott in district court this
morning called Juror O.. D. Mozier,
of the regular trial jury panel, "onto
the carpet" and after a severe lecture
discharged him as being untitled to
perform the duties Of juror. The
court had been informed that the
juror had made certain remarks in
the jury room concerning the instruc-
tons given by the court for the guild
ance of the jury in its work in find
ing a verdict in the case of H. O.Con-
away VS.. the Iowa Central Ry. The
juror when brought before the court
made some, denial of the sayings and
remarks alleged to have been made
by him, but the court dismissed the
member, remarking that the dis
charge was light punishment for
the offense. The court took adyan-
tage of the occasion to deliver quite
pointed lecture on the subject pre-
sented, and it is hardly likely that
any other juror of the present panel
will be brought before the court for
a repetition of the offense.

PERRY WELKER DEAD.
An Old Time OskaIoosa Printer Passes
Away in Chicago. r

His cousin, John H. Perry, received
a telegram today conveying the news
of the death of Perry Welker, who
succumbed to pneumonia at the home
of his mother in Chicago, Saturday
evening. Mr.. Welker was about Al
years of age, and belonged to the old
school Of printers in Oskaloosa. He
learned his trade in the Herald of
flee, and worked here about five years,
when he went with w. H. Needham
to Sigourney. After working on the
Keol1uk County News for number
of years he returned to Oskaloosa, and
accepted a position in the Saturday
Globe Office which he held for a long
time. About ten years ago he left
OskaloOsa and went to Chicago where
he has since been employed in one OF
the large job offices in that city. He
was of slight build and was famil-
iarly known as "Boney" Welker. He
was genial fellow, friend to all
who knew him, and is kindly remem-
bered by his many ac2uaintances.

Harry Allen and Oscar Lee, while
the interests Of Mr.. Smith were
looked after by Attorney Frank Stew
art and Mr.. Hines. After consider
able wrangling the rule In equity
was suspended and by mutual con-
sent the following jury was selected:
Mrs. Cora Franklin, Mrs. loan Bar
quet, Jennie Hardy, Stella Ringo,
Will Jeffries, Henry Dunlap and 2.
G. Lee. The plaintiff made fine
appearance on the stand and made a
good witness in her own behalf. She
showed up Mr.. Smith in very shady
light and was corroborated by sew
eral witnesses, the main one being
DR.. Chas. Holmes, p. B. B., who testi-
fed that he found the plaintiff suffer
ing with pneumonia, lung fever, nerv-
Gus prostration, Mysteries, general de-
bility and tuberculosis, due entirely
from the inhuman treatment of Mr..
Smith, and had successfully treated
her for them all and was pleased to
present her to the jury perfect pic
ture of health, barring, perhaps, a
little heart trouble, for which Mr..
Smith was not responsible. AT this
stage of the proceedings some one
discovered that two of the jury had
gone home, the judge was almost
asleep and all the lawyers talking at
once. His Homer at once took a
hand and ordered the sheriff to adj
journ court and instructed the jury
to return a sealed verdict, from which
both sides appealed. The appeal
will be argued at the next session of
the court. The entertainment was
one of the best that has been given
this winter and showed a deal of
originality on the part of those who
managed it.
