NEW MUSICAL CARDS
GERMAN WHISTLES EY MAIL
Postal Cards Bear Raised Pictures Of
Birds, Beasts or Persons That
Sing or Whistle When Pressed.

Birds, Beasts or Persons That
Sing or Whistle When Pressed.
If you should a faint whistle about
the time that the letter carrier is ex-
pected at your door, pay attention to
it, for it may be one of the latest nov
elites in the way of postal cards which
he is squeezing that causes this sibi-
liant sound. For the past few years
every steamship arriving from the 9TH
er side and carrying mails from Ger
many to this country has had a large
number of these postal cards in the
mai! bags. They are of German inven-
ton and came here for the first time
this year. They are of the double
Iolder kind. and in the center OF the
rear fold on which may be inscribed
the message there is whistle By
squeezing 1t it gives forth sound
which is supposed to come from a bird,
a boy or any other figure which may
happen to be on the card.
The card which seems to be the most
numerous in the mails is one on which
there is printed bird raised from tho
paper and one side only showing on tho
folder When this is pressed the bird
begins to sing. There is another on
which appears the figure of a boy. with
a flute in his mouth. By pressing this
papier mache figure it will also whistle.
On another there is a picture OF a
prima donna, who will send forth notes
If she is pressed to do so. If she won't
sing, then she will have to be made to
sing by the method which is explained
on the card.
Those OF the cards which have been
distributed here have caused no end OF
amusement to the clerks. distributors
and the letter carriers. The first lot
began to arrive about two weeks ago,
and they were mostly from Berlin,
where they are manufactured. Since
then nearly every boat carrying mail
from Germany has brought a large
number of them in the bags.
According to the head mail clerk in
the postoftice the folding cards on
which are contained the novelty are
the first which have been received
from the other side. this double folder
having been invented on this side of
the Atlantic. The novelty of having
the whistle and the figures is distinctly
German invention.
The majority of the cards are direct
ed to New York City to relatives of the
senders and were meant for Christmas
remembrances. The steamship Kron-
pFlnZ "llnelm pfouSnl large numper
of them to the city when she arrived
during the week. The idea is the Same
on all of the cards, though the figures
are different. and are made to suit
different occasions.
That they will be copied in this couu-
try is without doubt, as they have al
ready proved very popular from an
amusement point of view with those
who have seen them, though it will
probably be too late to make them in
sufficient numbers for the Christmas
trade.-New York Times.

at Oskaloosa Saturday. The crowd
helped the team play football against
the local eleven by crowdiny into the
field and tripping up the Grinnell run
ners, after having clear field. Several
decisions were unjust and the goal bar
was several inches too low. making 1t
possible for Oskaloosa to kick goal
as the ball hit the bar and rolled over
Grinnell outplayed the Oskaloosa
eleven. Oskaloosa, however. played IN
much better form than last year and
smashed the Grinnell line for substan-
tian gains during the first half. scoring
a few minutes before time was called
During the last half conditions were
reversed and Grinnell circled the ends
and played thru the line. The final
score was to5 in favor of Oskaloosa
That school is somewhat prone to call
championship because Grinnell was
beaten, but as Capital Park decisively
defeated "Osky' is to 0, and and West
High and East High beat Capital Park
with big scores. the claim is hardly to
be allowed. Lack of practice during the
past week was slightly responsible for
Grinnelis reversal of form, but this
week practice viii be pushed forward
to meet the East High team next sat
urday.

Daily Freeman-Tribune De-
PENDANT In $4,000 Suit
Brought by Mrs. Berger
THE GYPSY STORY WAS a FAKE
Mrs. Berser's Attorney Alleges That
the Article in Question Was False,
Malicious and Libelous, Being Print
ed and Published to Defame, lnjure,
RidicuIe, and vilIify the Plaintiff.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City. Nov. Sd. C. Chase of
this city, as attorney for Mrs. e. NJ
Berger, has filed a suit in the district
court asking Judgment against the
Freeman-Tribune Publishing Company
for $4,000. The case is filed for libel
alleged to have been committed In a
certain edition of the Daily Freeman
Tribune In which mention was made of
certain troubles which Mrs. Berger had
with her husband, together with men
ton of the alleged sayings OF a gypsy
fortune teller to whom Mrs. Berger had
gone for a reading. Among other
to have told Mrs. Berger that her pres
ent husband would shortly die and THAI
after certain length of time she would
wed rich man.
The allegations in the petition filed
by Mr.. Chase are, That said article
was false. malicious and iibelous, and
printed and published for the purpose
of OBTAINING, iujuring, ridiculing and
villifying the plaintiff herein, and foT
the purpose of disparaging the char
acter of the plaintiff. and bringing her
into disrepute among her neighbors and
acquaintance. That said article tended
to provoke the said plaintiff to wrath
and to expose her to public contempt
and ridicule and to deprive her OF
the benefits of public confidence and
social intercourse
THAT the said article charges the
plaintiff with the want or lack Of
chastity, and of being familiar with
other men, which said charges and all
sinnuendoes connected Herewith in
said article are false, malicious and Ii
belous and demamatory of the plain
tiff
"And the plaintiff further states that
the whole article relative to her con-
sulting with a gypsy, is made up out
OF whole cloth. and without any foun-
dalton in truth and fact and known
by the defendant to be wholly imagin-
airy and false when 1t printed pub
lished, circulated and distributed It,"
The article in question. which APP
peared in the Daily Freeman Tribune
was printed at the time Mrs. Berger
had expected to have him bound over
to keep the peace, but the two reached
an agreement and the matter was never
brought to trial. The article also re-
cited an alleged reading which Mrs.
Berger was alleged to have obtained
from fortune teller. This reading
purported to foretell the death of Mr..
Berger. against whom at that time Mrs,
Berger had filed petition for divorce.
and Mrs. Bergers marriage later to u
gentleman of means.

In a friendly way. Locke was a visitor
at the club at PA, and he and Henslee
engaged in a game more for the fun of
it than anything else. In short time
they were making small bets and these
were gradually Increased until the bet
ting got as strong as 500 a game.
Then Locke confessed his inability to
last long at that rate, saying that he
did not have the means. At this juno
trre proprietors of the club in which he
worked came in and offered to advance
him the money necessary.
He remained in the game and won
considerably over $1,000 the first night.

WEIGHT Did Il.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell. Nov. 9.-The college was
defeated Saturday. not by team that
could play better football, but by mere
weight and brute force. Grinnell's
gains were large when the ball was in
their possession. but Ames' weight pre-
vented the team from scoring when
their goal was threatened. Grinnell
carried the ball 100. ninety-seven,
eighty-five and eighty-three yards in
succession several times before losing
it. Ames carried the oval ninety-ninc,
ninety-fou eighty-sevcn and eighty
two yards for touchdowns after getting
possession of the bail. Grinnell punted
three times for gain of 1875 yares.
Grinnell carried the oval 230 yards dur
ing the first half and Ames some 26o
yards, and yet she scored three touch
downs with but some thirty yards IN
her favor.

Only Oxygen.


Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen-no
drugs, no alcohol in it. 1t is the dis
covery of PAUL., the great German chem
list, who spent 40 years on it. His object
was to get such an excess of oxygen in
staple form into the blood that no germ
could live in any membrane or tissue.
Liquozone does that. We spend "a
days in making every bottle but the re-
suit is liquid oxygen-a gerrnicide SO GER
tain that we publish on every bottle an
offer of 81 900 for germ that it cannot
kill.
Oxygen is tonic to you-the most es-
sential element of life. Its effects are ex-
hilarating, purifying, vitalizing. Nothing
else is SO good for you. But germs are
vegetables, and this excess of oxygen
the very life of an animals deadly to
vegetable matter.

Medicine must fail in germ trouble,
because medicine never kills germs. Any
ger1n-killing drug is poison to you. and
it cannot be taken internally.
Liquozone-liquid oxygen-is the only
way that any man knows to kill germs IN
the body without killing the tissues, too.
Its results in germ trouble are abso-
lutely certain, for it always destroys the
cause of the trouble. To prove this-if
you need tive will gladly pay for a
bottle aud give it to you to try.

Mill Built in 1859.
Special to Times Republican.
Belmond. Nov. 9-During the past
few days two old relics of Belmond
have been torn down and moved away.
The old Central House, which for
twenty-five years has served as one of
our hotels, has been purchased by
Chris Sorenson and is being divided In
three parts and moved to some resi-
dence lots of his and fitted for dwelling
houses.
The old mill built in 1859 and which
for many years was the only Touring
mill In radius OF miles around, has
crumbled to decay and has been torn
apart and the old hardwood lumber
and squared logs of which 1t was built
will be used for fire wood. Many old
settlers will recall incidents of long
winter drives and bad roads OF summer
in connection with trips to this old mill.
