NO PRIVATE TRIAL
Staples Case at Dubuque Likely to
Follow the Lines of the Merriam
Case at Des Moines, Which At
traoted Much Attention.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican
Dubuque, Sept. 21.-Attorneys, who
are specializing as to whether or not
an effort will be made to have the
Staples divorce case tried in private,
point to an attempt Of this kind made
by former State Auditor Frank Mer-
Ram, when his wife sued him for a
divorce at Des Moines some years ago.
got mixed UP with another woman, and
there was a big scandal that resulted
in his wife suing him for, a divorce.
Before the case was called up for
trial Merriam's attorneys made appli-
cation to Judge Homles to have the
proceedings kept from the public. The
judge to < q different view of the mat
ter and refused the request and the
trial was held in open court.
1t would seem from this that q prece-
dent has been established that will ap-
ply here should the attorneys for Mr..
and Mrs. Staples ask that the case be
tried in private. None of the attorneys
in the case have stated that such an
effort will be made. but it is generally
believed that it will. The vigilance dis
played by the attorneys for Mrs. Sta
pies would at least warrant such a be-
lief.
The belief is expressed among attor-
neys that there is no warrant in law
for judge to try a divorce proceeding
in private. They state that that is one
of the reasons why the statute in rela-
ton to the trying of divorce cases was
changed. In the old days when divorce
proceeds We're instituted a referee was
appointed and the evidence taken and
turned over to the judge who read it vt
his leisure and then rendered decis-
ion. In this way there We're no pub
lie trials.
The general assembly, however.
learned that divorces We're being
granted on f1imsy grounds and changed
the law so that judge Couldn't hold
a session of court in his room and grant
divorce.
There are many who believe that the
Staples case will never come to trial;
that before the time set the attorneys
for the interested parties will get to-
gether and agree on a settlement. 1t is
said i'll some quarters that Mrs.
Staples will be allowed a comfortable
sum by her husband and they will live
apart. Mrs. Staples in her petition
asks for $4,000 alimony.

Special to Times-Repuplican.
Nevada, Sept. 21.-Nevada is to
have a gas plant in the near future if
the question carries at a special cleo
ton called by Mayor Klove yesterday.
The city council considered the propo-
sition as outlined by Mr.. w. Fl. Harri-
son, of Toledo, who has promoted the
proposition, at a special meeting Mon
day evening and decided to submit the
question of twenty-five year fran
chise to the voters of the town.

a capital stock of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of erecting and operating the
plant, lots have been purchased on Linn
street, just across the Northwestern
tracks ard it is the intention to go to
work on the plant Immediately if the
election ON Oct. 13 gives the company
the right of franchise and the ques-
ton will doubtless carry.
Less than a year ago the Nevada
Electric Company, owned by MARSHALL
town capitalists were granted a new
franchise and made extensive and ex-
pensive improvements on the plant.

company have been giving good SER

Shell Rock, 21.-A slight clue which
may prove the forerunner of complete
knowledge of Charles Fuller's where
abouts has been secured by the arrival
of letter to Mrs. Fuller from a sister
of the missing man, at Murray, Iowa.
Fuller, 1T will be remembered, is the
man who SO mysteriously disappeared
from Shell Rock, on Monday, Septem-
Der IL. He resided with his family
near Allison, and had come here for
visit with local friends and relatives.
Without the slightest intimation of his
turned up missing and until the let
ter from his sister arrived yesterday,
no trace of the missing mans where
abouts had been secured
From the letters received from the
relative it is now established that
the missing man walked from Shell
Rock to a nearby station where it was
possible to secure train and on
Wednesday appeared at his sisters
home. Being uniformed of his pc
culiar action in deserving his family in
this city, the sister thought his visit
nothing strange nor extraordinary.
After receiving word that her broth
err mysteriously disappeared the sister
lost no time in writing his wife, but
comments frequently in her letter on
the rational condition of her brother
during his stay in Murray.
Carried Some Money.
While visiting his sister, Fuller in
making known his intention to visit
Omaha stated that he had something
over 500 in cash to defray the ex-
penses of the trip. 1t is presumed by
the wife of the missing man that he
has left Omaha by this time and mas
much as he landed in the police sta
of this kind, it is not improbable that
he has gone to that state.
No Domestic Trouble.
When questioned more closely with
view of determining if possible any
motive for Fuller's disappearance UNI
der ordinary circumstances his wife
positively denies that any domestic
difficulties have ever arisen in their
household. From all that can be ascer-
tanned, their private affairs have been
governed by good will at all times, and
excepting a period of temporary insan-
ty no excuse for Fullers peculiar ac-
lions is offered.
His prominence in Butler county has
made the matter a subject of universal
comment. His wife and family are
much depressed over the affair.

0zOENA GNAWS THE BONE.
Blood Wine Cures This Terrible
Phase of Catarrh.

That awful odor and terrible breath
that comes from some people is caused
by Ozoena, an advanced stage of ca
tarrh - the point where the bone bor-
dering the nasal passages the poste-
rior cavities to decay, and
there comes from the head steady dis
charge of yellow 1nucus which smells
dreadful1y. Catarrh is a diseased con-
dition of the mucous membranes, and is
caused -by poor nourishment of the
membranes by the blood in other
words, a diseased condition of the blood
which causes GIoenl and consump-
ton.
Blood Wine quickly stops all those
aggravating features of the annoying
aud fatal disease, such as mucous dis
charges, dropping in the throat, sore
throat, excessive secretions from the
nose, splitting up of hard chunks, watery
eyes, etc, and cleanses the nasal pas
sages. Mrs. Annie Krechhubel of 424
f Street, Louisville, says:
For fifteen years think of it - and
the best years OF her 1ife) suffered with
catarrh, which led to a stomach trouble.
l grew worse and worse, and could
hardly walk across the room. As had
taken all kinds of medicines with no re-
suits, 1 had almost given up hope.
When Blood Wine commenced to adj
vertise in Louisville sent for sample
bottle, and later purchased three more.
have now finished my third bottle
and can truthfully say that my catarrh
has wholly left me and 1 can walk
around without getting tired. My
strength is returning and I feel like
new person. I will say to all sufferers
with catarrh that Blood Wine is the
medicine to take if they want to be
cured"
