THE HossAck CASE.
No New Evidence of Importance De.
veIoped in New Trial.

No New Evidence of Importance De.
veloped in New Trial.
Special to Times Republican.
Winterset, Feb. 1.-THE retrial OF
Mrs. Hossack, convicted of the murder
some months since. is creating quite as
much deep interest in Warren and
Madison counties. as did the first trial.
AS yet no new and definite evidence has
been introduced showing her guilt or
innocence. The new trial began
Wednesday, and since its beginning the
court room has been crowded by a
packed audience, largely composed OF
women. So far the evidence introduced
is practically a resume of that offered
by the prosecution in the previous trial.
The state has examined about twenty
two of its sixty witnesses. The only
new facts so far brought to light by the
prosecution are that on the AK with
which Hossack is supposed to have
been murdered an organic substance
was discovered, which without a doubt
was that of mans brain. altho Prof
Tilton, the man who made the examin-
alton, could not state definitely as to
this on account of the fact that it was
dried when he first inspected it. and so
he could not make definite statement
In the first trial no testimony was
given to show that there was organic
substance on the AK.
Testimony was also given to show that
the three hairs found on the ak could
have been those OF human being.
When the witness was asked If they
were he was not permitted to answer
by Judge Nichols, who held that the
jury could examine the hair on the ak
and hairs from Hossack's head and then
determine for themselves as to their
identity.
Mrs. Hossack is out on bail on a bond
of $1,000 After her return from the
last spring, when the de-
cision in the case was reversed by the
supreme court on the grounds of an
omission in the evidence. she was
placed in the county Jail. but there after
a brief period, her health failed her and
she was allowed to secure BAIL Consid-
aring the incidents that have TRANSFERRED
the past two years, she is in fair health,
and in fact 1t is considered nothing
short of marvellous by her physicians,
The manner in which she has borne up.

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From catarrh Knows
That salves, Lotions, Washes,
Sprays and Douches Do Net

Powders, lotions, salves, sprays an,
anhalers can not really cure Catarrh
because this disease is a blood disease
and local applications, If they accom-
plish anything at all, simply give tran
sient relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the bloot
and the mucus membrane of the nose
throat and trachea tries to relieve tht
system by secreting large quantities o
mucous, the discharge sometimes clos
ing up the nostrils, dropping into the
throat, causing deafness by closing the
causing catarh of stomach or serious
throat and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh mus
be an internal remedy which vii
cleanse the blood from catarrhal poison
and remove the fever and congestion
from the mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scien-
tifically known as Red Gum, Blood
Root and Hydrastin, and while each
of these have been successfully used
separately, yet 1t has been difficult to
get them combined in one palatable,
convenient and efficient form.
The manufacturers of the new ca
tarrh cure, Stuart's CataTh Tablets.
have succeeded admirably in accom-
plishing this result. They are large.
pleasant tasting lozenges, to be dissolv-
ed In the mouth, thus reaching every
part OF the mucous membrane of the
throat and finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no CO.
caine, opiate or any injurious drug
whatever and are equally beneficial for
little children and adults.

relief and had no hope Of cure. had
not the means to make a change of eli

cure.
Last spring read an account Of
aome remarkable cures made by
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and promptly
bought fifty-cent box from my drug
gist and obtained such positive benefit
from that one package that I contin-

gusting annoyance of catarrh; my head
is clear, my digestion all I could ask

fail as result OF the catarrh, has
greatly improved until feel can hear

Suit Against Armour Company
at Des Moines First Blow
In Hard Fight
WAR ON BOGUS BUTTER MAKERS
Outcome of This Case Regarded by
Dairy Commissioner Wright as of the
Utmost Importance to the Dairy in
terests of the state-Richt to Color
oleomargarine.

Des Mones, Feb. 17.-State. Dairy
Commissioner Wright said yesterday
that the case of the state against the
Armour Packing Company, which is
soon to be tried in the Polk county dis
trict court, is intended to be a test case,
of which the consequences will be far
missioner it is the first blow in q re-
lentless war which the state dairy in
terests are waging against manufacture
erS of bogus butter, and particularly
against makers of oleomargarine.
The particular point which we wish
to have decided in this case, said Com
missioner Wright. "is whether or not
the law that prohibits this yellow color
in oleomargarine is constitutional. The
successful carrying out of the campaign
which the dairy interests have planned
against the oleomaragarine manufac-
turers depends to a large extent ON this
law. II it is found to be valid we be-
lieve we will have little difficulty in
preventing almost entirely the sale of
butter limitations in this state.
The dairy interests have no quarrel
with the manufacturers of oleomargar-
inc who do not attempt to palm their
product off on the public as butter or
who do not put it in the power of re-
tailers to do SO. We are attacking the
manufacturers who are seeking, either
by direct or indirect means, to put oleo-
margarine on the market SO that 1t can
be sold to the public as the creamery
article
The state dairy interests have found,
that most of the laws that have been
framed to prevent the sale Of bogus
butter in this state could not be en-
forced. The law which provides that
oleomargarine should be branded and
which requires restaurant keepers who
sell it to announce the fact by posters
in their place of business was
easily evaded by reason of the fact that
the state has not the means to keep up
looking to it's enforcement.
Other laws OF similar character have
also proven signal failures, and the
state dairy interests have finally ar
rived at the conclusion that a law
which prohibits the coloring of o1eo-
so that 1t has a yellow hue
is the only one that will serve their pur-
poses.
