The Hon. Perry 8. Heath has been
shown to bave received $40, 900 OF the
stock of company on the promise
that he would order 300 of their ma
chimes at $225 each, and yet the Dis
trict Attorney told the grand jury that
such a thing did not constitute an in
dictable offense. In the days of the
Star Route frauds and the Credit Mo
bilier, this might have been looked on
as a very Insignificant affair. but in
the days when honesty has been the
slogan of party success, and cor1up
ton of all kinds has been emphatically
denied, such transaction ought not to
have been condoned so long as to al
low the statute of limitations to bal
prosecution. If this is correct thing
to do, the judgment of a court should
establish it, otherwise there are many
who will always believe the Hon. MI
Heath took bride.

There Is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease. and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
T. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from II
drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of thu
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send fol
circulars and testimonials. Address,

OF the points in the note which Bulga-

What the Bulgarian government had
forseen as expressed in it's note of June

Turkey has became amply verified.
The Turkish government is system
atically annihilating the Bulgarian peo-
pie.
Mobilization and concentration OF
such great forces in European Turkey
under the pretext of suppressing revo-
luton, gives Bulgaria reason To suppose
at an opportune moment she will be at
tackled by Turkey
The Bulgarian government can no
longer remain Indifferent to the pres
ence of such situation, which is OF
tile collision between Turkey and Bull
garia.

measures to give the sublime porte
counsels of wisdom and of moderation

Special OF Times Republican.
Dubuque, Sept. 15.-There Is talk
among the members of the DUBUQUE
Bar Association of rendering Judge
Shiras a banquet next month on the
occasion OF the anniversary Of his 10th
birthday, when he will lay down the
duties OF the office OF judge Of the
United States court. AS yet the mat
ter has not taken definite form, but
lawyers favor the suggestion as being
fit and proper
II think that 1t would be a most
gracious thing to do said one of the
leading lawyers OF the city. Judge
Shiras has been member of the bar
association for many years and he has
been an honor to it. Now that he is
about to step out of one of the most
coveted offices I think that 1t would
he proper to express our appreciation
in some manner and a banquet would
be the nearest to my idea of the right
thing"
The lawyer, however, expire ssed a
fear that Judge Shiras would be OPP
posed to such a manifestation Of es-
teem.
The campaign for the office Of United
States Judge has not been waged very
vigorously during the past month. II
is generally understood among the can
didates that further canvassinG will do
no good.
