ton of the federal statutes which for
bids the mailing of obscene letters, or
immoral or indecent articles. The fed-
eral officials claim to have q. complete
chain of evidence against Dr. Beller,
which will convict him of sending both
the letters and the articles. They be-
lieve that their chain of evidence is SO
complete that DR.. Beller will never all
low the case to be tried, but will plead
guilty to the charge, the punishment
for which is imprisonment in the peni-
tertiary for not less than one nor for
more than ten years.
DIR. Beller was born and reared IN
Benton county, on farm not far dis
tant from the Hill farm, and for sew
eral years up to last year he was very
attentive to Miss Hill. He is about ~
years of age, and has always borne an
excellent reputation. He is a graduate
OF Rush Medical College. and for about
two wears was engaged in the practice
of his profession at Vinton. About two
years ago he succeeded to the prac-
tice of DR.. Capwell, of Garrison, where
he met Miss Stoecker. whom he re-
Gently married. Ever since the first
charges were made against him he has
emphatically denied all knowledge or
completely in any of the matters, ana
he has many strong and influential
friends who believe him innocent and
who will use all their endeaVors to
prove him innocent.

an accident Saturday night that might
have resulted in the death of the three
boys who were present. The two
Guessford boys and Walter Blackwood,
the twenty one year old son of B. w.
Blackwood had been working about
the place during the day, splitting wood
and doing other work and then came
across large chunk that would not
split. So after supper they took the
chunk and bored several holes in 1t,
filled them up with gun powder. Not
having any fuse, they took a piece of
paper and wrapped up about foot of
powder in 1t. One of the Guessford
boys lighted three matches in trying to
light the paper but did not succeed.
Walter then lit a match and the next
thing he knew an explosion took place
The chunk was blown to pieces, one of
them striking him just above the right
knee breaking the leg diagonally across
the bone protruding out for two inches.
One of the Guessford boys was burned
about the face and hands. 1t was a
wonder the accident did not result in
a death Aor two. Walter has been at
tending high school here but it will be
some time before he can resume his
studies. He is getting along as well as
could be expected.

AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant

A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large restau-
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number Of hearty, vigorous old men at
the tables; men whose ages run from
60 to so years; many of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none of them fee
BILE or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is SO common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless 1t is an OBJ
ject lesson which meaTs something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way thru
a menu card of new tangled health
foods; on the contrary. they seem to
prefer juicy roast of beef, properly
turned loin of mutton, and even the
deadly broiled lobster is not altogether
ignored.
The point of all thi. is that vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
ton and plenty of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class OF food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee
and many other good things are rank
poisons. but these cadaverous, sickly-
looking individuals ale a walking con-
demnation of their own theories.
The matter in nutshell is that II the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
Juices in sufficient quantity any whole
some food will be promptly digested;
il the stomach does not do so, and GER
tain foods cause distress, one or Two OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal will remove all difficulty, because
they supply just what every weak
stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro-chloric
acid, diastase and nuX
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels and in fact are not
strictly q, medicine, DIS they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten, digestlng
IL thoroughly and thus gives a much
needed rest and giving an appetite for
the next meal.
or people who travel nine out Of ten
use stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets knowing
them to be perfectly safe to use at any
time and also having found out by ex-
.perience that they are safeguard
against indigestion in any form' ana
eating as they have to, at aii hours ana
all kinds of food, the travelling public
for years have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 5o cents for
full-sized packages and any druggist
from Maine to California, II his opinion
were asked, will say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble.

HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least one-half Of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate Of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. It is capable Of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
It pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs.
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timoniais sent entirely unsolicited to
DR.. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Catarrh OF The Head.
Mr.. D. r. Ramsey writes in recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark, the fol-
lowing:
"My son, Leon Ramsey, four years Of
age, suffered with catarrh Of the head
for eighteen or twenty months. He took
one bottle of your Peruna and could
hear as good as ever.''-D. r. RAMSEY.
Catarrh of The Nose.
Mr.. Herman Ehlke, $50 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
81 am entirely cured OF my catarrh Of
the nose by your Peruna. My case was
= severe one."-Herman Ehlke.
Catarrh Of Tho Throat.

81 suffered with catarrh Of the throat
for FIVE years. I was induced to try
