NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From catarrh Knows
That Salves, Lotions, Washes,
Sprays and Douches Do Not

Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and
nhalers 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
silent relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucus membrane OF the nose,
throat and trachea tries to relieve the
system by secreting large quantities OF
mucus, the discharge sometimes CLOS
Ing up the nostrils, dropping into the
throat causing deafness by closing the
Eustachian tubes, and after tune
causing catarrh of stomach or serious
throat and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which VIII
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 it has been difficult to
get them combined in one palatabie'
convenient and efffcient form.
tarrh cure, Stuart's CatarTh 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 tne
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.
Mr. c. r. Rembrandt OF Rochester,
N, T., gays: II know Of few people who
have suffered as much as I from Ca
tarrh of the head, throat and stomach.
!! used sprays, inhalers, and powders
for months at a time with only slight
relief and had no hope Of cure. / had
not the means to make a change Of CHI
mate, which seemed my only chance OF
cure.
Last spring I read an account Of
acme remarkable cures made by
Stuart's Catarrth Tablets and promptly
bought a fifty-cent box from my drug
gist and obtained such positive benefit
from that one package that contin-
ued to use them daily until now con-
slider myself entirely free from the dis
gushing annoyance OF catarrh; my head
is clear, my digestion all could ask
and my hearing which had begun to
fail as Q result of the catarrh, has
greatly improved until / feel can hear
as well as ever. They are a household
necessity in my family"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at SO cents for complete
treatment and for convenience, safety
and prompt results they are undoubt-
edly the long looked for catarrh cure.

A COLD SCHOOL HOUSE.
Wesley's School Board Has Trouble
With Heating Apparatus.

Special to Times Republican.
Wesley. Feb. 2l.-Our public school
board is having considerable trouble
this winter to keep the rooms warm
during the cold weather. There has
hardly been week this winter but that
in one. or the other of the rooms the
teachers had to dismiss their school and
send the children home on account of
the temperature being SO cold. The
scholars could not stand it. The dis
trict went to the expense here some
eight years ago and built school house
at cost of about $4,000 and had 1t
equipped with all the modern appli-
ances for comfort and sanitary pur-
poses up to date. but 1t has never given
entire satisfaction. The hot air fur
mace that was put into 1t when built
failed to heat 1t, unless run above it's
capacity, and in few years was
burned out. This winter the board
replaced it with steam heat, but 1t
gives no better satisfaction.

Charles Christian Brings Suit
Against W.E.Olson to Force
Payment on Note
FINE POINT TO BE DECIDED
Many Complications Have Occurred
Resulting from Christians Attempt
to Collect the Note Which Was Given
in 1869, and Attorneys are Watching
the Case With Great Interest.

Special to Times-Repub.ican.
Webster City, Feb. 21.-One Of the
most peculiar civil cases ever tried IN
this city is now on in the district court.
The case is entitled Charles Christian
VS.. w. T.. Olson. 1t Is y suit brought
to force payment on note given by
Olson in 1869 to Christian and upon
which the latter secured Judgment i'll
1855. In 1898 one L. j. Tjernagle.
cisbarred attorney. claiming to act as
agent for Christian, settled the note
with Olson for great deal less than
Its value. In 1902 Christian brought a
criminal action against Tjernagle, al
leging that the latter had committed
forgery in signing Christians name to
the settlement he had made with Oh
son. The jury found Tjernagle not
guilty-or in other words, declared that
he did act as Christians lawful agent.
Christian has now brought q civil ac-
ton against Olson for the note with In
terest to date and the costs of the suit.
He alleges that he has never received
any part of the money due him and that
the settlement made by Tjernagle was
illegal, in truth a forgery, and there
fore null and void. The latter case, in
view Of the finding in the criminal case,
would seem paradox.
The original note given by Olson to
Christian was for $500 When Chris
tan procured his judgment in 1888 it
was decreed that the ncte should draw
interest at the rate of 10 per cent from
the date of judgment. This makes the
note now amount to over $1,000. In the
criminal action 1T was necessary to
prove the defendant guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt" whereas in the civil
case now being tried 1t is necessary to
prove his guilt merely by "prepon-
derance Of the evidence" To the lay
mind the distinction Is one without a
difference to a more or less extent.
However. to the legal mind the differ
ence is clear.
Should Christian win cut in the suit
the case would occupy a peculiar posi-
ton In jurisprudence \ man accused
of grave crime and acquitted by a
jury OF his peers would in the very
next term of the same court. which de-
clared him innocent. be declared guilty.
a1tho no punishment could be melted
out to him because the action is civil.
The case is being watched with u great
deal of interest, especially by attorneys.
