THINKS LAW IS NOT VALID.
Aabitual Criminal Act Alleged TO be
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Case.


Special to Times Republican.
Belle Plaine. March Whether or
not the habitual criminal law Is consti-
tutional is a question to be deter
mined before Hon. Smith Mcpherson,
Judge OF the federal court of Iowa, at
Council Bluffs. March 3, In the case of
J. A. Gregory VS.. N. N. Jones, warden
OF the penitentiary at Fort Madison,
upon writ of thabeas corpus.
Attorney Tom H. Miner of this city
has been employed by the petitioner to
present the question. Gregory claims
that all his convictions were prior to
July /, 1898. when the law took effect,
and It is urged that the law is ex post
federal constitution.
This question is attracting much at
tention throughout the state from the
bar and the public at large, there al
ready being a division of opinion upon
the subject. Mr.. Miner, Gregory's law
yer, has given the matter deep study
and consideration and thinks that he
will be able to show that this statute,
at least as to offenseS committed be-
fore Its taking effect. Is unconstitution-
al and that he will be able to reverse
the case and set aside the judgment en-
tered by the Pottawattanie county dis
fIict court against his client.
The facts have all been agreed upon
and there is nothing now to be deter
mined except the question of the con-.
stdtutionality OF the law, which is Of
much Importance

Bows. and he proposes that the women
attending divine worship in his taber-

general appreciation, especially among
the male members of the congregation

crusade against millinery displays in
the house of God. With the approach
OF Easter and the annual display of

of many lady members of the parish.

Acts Like O,tygcn.

Liquozone is the result OF process
which, for more than 20 years, has
been the constant subject OF scientific
and chemical research. Its virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers.
By process requiring immense APP
paratus and IA days time. these gases
are made part Of the liquid product.
The result is product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source of vital
ity. Liquozone is a vitalizer with
which no other known product can
compare. But germs are vegetables;
and Liquozone-like an excess Of
oxygen-is deadly to vegetal matter.
Yet this wonderful product which no
germ can resist, is, to the human
body, the most essential element Of
life.

EPIDEMIC AT DIES MONIES.
Hundreds of Cases Of an Illness Akin t

| Hundreds OF Cases of an Illness Akin to
Fever.
Des Moines, March An epidemic
of illness that has caused the physicians
of the city more or less alarm has been
prevalent in Des Moines the past few
days and appears to become worse each
day.
| Yesterday some of the physicians
consulted their fellow practitioners and
| found that there were over three hum
dred cases OF the illness. The physi-
clans claim that 1t is due to seane i'm
purity in the city water. They will
have an investigation of the water
made and may issue an order to boil
it.
The disease Is not considered serious,
the danger according to physicians be-
ing that typhoid fever may develop
The patients are suddenly overcome
and in many cases are stricken at
their work. The stomach is affected
adm vomiting follows. Later bowel
trouble develops. The cases thus far
treated have lasted from three to five
days.
About thirty physicians who were
called up by telephone last night re-
ported anywhere from dozen to thirty
cases. Business has been rushing the
last couple of days, and one physician
stated last night he had not secured
more than two hours sleep in forty
eight hours. The first symptoms of
the illness are SO serious that the pa
tent and his friends become alarmed
and Immediately call for aid.
There is no question in the minds
of dozen physicians whom I have
consulted but that the source of the
disease, If 1t may be called such is
in the water supply said one physi-
clan last night. THE patients are all
over the city and no disease could be
so diffused unless 1t came through the
water. There is absolutely no other
way to account for the epidemic.
Il think the physicians will have an
examination made OF samples Of the
water. am sure germs will be found,
showing what the cause is.
Il think something should be done
regarding the water supply. If typhoid
germs should get into 1t, a terrific cpl
demic would result There is consirer-
able typhoid fever over the country
and Des Moines is liable to fall in
line.
1T will take few days to make

n Medicine Fails. Try Liquozone-We'n Pay Il

Medicine must fail in germ trouble,
because medicine never kills inside
germs. Any germ-killing drug is a
poison to you, and it cannot be taken
internally.
Liquozone is the only way known to
kill germs in the body without kill
ing the tissues, too. 1t does in germ
trouble what no drugs, no skill in the
world, can accomplish without it. To
prove this-if you need tive will
gladly pay for bottle and give it to
you to try.

We Paid 100000

For the American rights to Liquo-
zone-the highest price ever paid for
similar rights on any scientific dis
covery. We did this after testing the
product for two years, through physi-
clans and hospitals, in this country
and others.
That price was paid because Liquo-
zone does in germ troubles what all
the drugs, all the skill in the world,
cannot accomplish without it. 1t car
ries into the blood a powerful yet
harmless germicide, to destroy at once
and forever the cause of any germ dis

to do it. Liquozone is so certain that
we publish on every bottle an offer Of
$1,000 for disease germ that it can
not kill.
