The readers of this paper will be
pleased 20 learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known TO the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tniiOnal treatment Halls Catarrh Cure
is teIen internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton Of the disease, and giving the pa
tent strength by building up the con-
stitutiOn and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in It's curative powers, that they
offer one Hundred Dollars for any case

There is no excuse for loafing on

question of securing sufficient and

beyond the usual basis of reasoning and
brought out hidden truths to the great

Sioux Fails, S. D., Aug. 11.-A case
with peculiar and sensational features
has been instituted in the state circuit
court in this city by Mahlon Bapp, a
prominent farmer residing in the nor
thern portion of the county.
The defendant is William Sheperd,
at present resident of Trinidad. Col.
Bapp asks the court to grant him an
injunction restraining Sheperd from
the affections of his (Bapp's)
wife.
1t appears that Mrs. Bapp was for
merly the wife of Sheperd, but secur-
ed divorce, but now Sheperd thinks
he would like to get her back again
Sheperd and a brother of his for
mer wife recently appeared at Bapps
home and endeavored to induce Mrs
Bapp and her child to accompany them
back to their old home in Colorado.
AS a result of their efforts Bapp had
the two men arrested on the unique
charge OF attempting to steal his wife
and child. Before the case came UP
for preliminary hearing before JUS
tice of the peace, it was withdrawn,
and Bapp commenced the suit in the
circuit court asking that Sheperd be
enjoined from alternating the affections
of Mrs. Bapp.

Dubuque. Aug. IA proposition to
make Waterloo instead of Dubuque the
division headquarters of the Illinois
Central, seems to have been finally act
ed upon by officials of the road in favor
of the plan. Such action has apparent
ly been pending for some time past,
and though the local officials are reti-
cent in the matter, asserting that they
have received no advice from head
quarters of any such change. and on
the other hand they make no denial
that such movement has actually
been under discussion for some time
past.
The change makes this city mere
way station. Several years ago Du-
buaue lost the Central and the Great
Western shops, the latter being re-
moved to Waterloo, where now about
5000 men are employed Now, once
more, that city profits by Dubuques
loss. 1t will be the division headquar-
tiers for Chicago, Sioux City, ST. PAU
and Minneapolis. The thru trains
from Chicago, will hereafter be split
at Waterloo, one section continuing on
the way to Sioux City, and the other
going to the twin cities. The announce
ment of the change is expected WITHIN
a few days.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Aug. ll.--.Ihe admirers Of
Maggie" Plummer, the little woman
who became a heroine of the dime novel
variety by her nervy liberation OF her
husband from the Woodbury. county
jail in June, 1902, must suffer disillu-
sion. For. after Mrs. Pienmer was re-
leased from the state PRISON on parole,
she added embezzlement 10 her crime
list.
That Mrs. Plummer was dishonest in
her position as cashier OF a Cedar Rap
ids restaurant has lust become public.
The disappearance of Mr. and Mrs.
Plumner both of whom broke paroles
a few weeks ago, led u che discovery
that Mrs Plumraer had taken advan-
tage of her position TO take money from
the employer who had volunteered 10
give her a chance.
Mrs. Plummer was patoled from the
penitentiary several months before her
husband was. and it was reported she
was making friends by her upright con-
duct in Cedar Rapids. Two weeks after
her husband was released the pair
skipped Altho the governor has used

been found of their whereabouts. Sher-
if Jackson thinks they are in Canada.
Since their fight the Cedar Rapids
restaurant keeper has looked into his
accounts and found himself considera-
bly, shy" because of the nimbleness of
Mrs. Plunmer's fingers and brain. She
kept him in ignorance of this. 1t has
also become known now that during
her husbands Incarceration in the peni-
Tertiary she was untrue TO him as well,
her relations with disreputable men in
Cedar Rapids having been familiar
Sheriff Jackson has concluded from
what has cropped out about the two
people that they are as bad pair as
he has come across. Until he discoy-
cred recently Mrs. Plummer's unfaith-
fulness at Cedar Rapids. he was dis
posed to credit her with The desire to be
respectable, but he condemns her now
even more bitterly than her husband.
