TMaFTh ANNIVERSARY.
Twelve Years Ago Today the First Lot
IN Virginia Was Sold,

Today is the twelfth anniversary
of the inception OF Virginia, on that
date public auction of the first
lots placed upon the market being
held at the company's Offices in Du-
luth.
Since that time many changes
have taken place in what was then
the embryo city of the range, the
place growing in eight months to a
city of approximately 1900 people
only TO be completely wiped out
by fire ON the 18th day of June, 1893
But the substantial backing of the
city was an incentive which needed
no praise to bring the unfortunate
citizens back, and the village was
rebuilt upon firmer basis only to
be again destroyed during the sum
mer of 1900, the latter fire taking the
major portion of the business
blocks and considerab BILE part OF
the residence portions of the city
And again has the faith of our citi-
zens in Virginia's future been fully
exemplifed in the handsome struc-
lures erected to replace the debris
until today we have the finest, best
built and most prosperous appear,
ing city in the state.
AT the first sale of lots the best
corners brought approximately
$40O.0 and these same lots today
could not be purchased from their
luckey owners for several times
that amount, with all property on
the principal street of the city com
mands a ready sale at greatly en-
hanced prices.

GRANT STOCKPilE SHIPPED.
Property Will Not Be Stripped Til
Year, But Likely Next Season.


Year, But Likely Next Season. .
The 10000 ton stockpile at the
Grant mine was cleaned up the first
of the week and the property 'is
again idle.
While string fiends and daily
newspaper correspondents have on
several occasions reported the
stripping of the property this sea-
son, even going 80 far as to name
the Wallace Contracting Co. as the
successful bidder on the work, the
mine will not be stripped this sea-
son but this work will in all likeli-
hood be taken up the coming year.
The stripping at this property will
mean the removal of an immense
amount of dirt, and will make the
village of Buhl one of the liveliest
places on the range while the work
is in progress. =. :"

GONE TO her REST.
Miss Eva Demgeo Succun,6s to Con-
sumption After a Brave Struggle.

|
Never has a death caused more
universal grief in our little city
than did the passing away of our
beloved postmistress, Miss Eva
Demgen, on Friday forenoon last
of consumption, after an illness of
about eighteen months.
Eva May Demgen was born at
L'Anse, Mich, on October: 26, 1880,
being q years of age in October
last. With her brothers and sisters
she removed to this city in July,
1893, and the circle of friends she
had woven about her during the
past eleven years was most fully
exemplified by the sympathetic
watchfulness of all throughout the
ravages of the disease which final
ly carried her from earthly care to
the brighter shores of better land,
where there shall be neither suffer
ing nor sorrow.
Deceased was one of family of
seven children, four sisters, Mes
danes Murphy, of Baraga, Mich,
P. A. Coffey, VIM. Hayes and James
sullivan, and John and Joseph
Demgen, of this city, and Peter
Demgen, of Baraga, surviving to
mourn the loss of a loving sister
and true friend, while the womanly
character and many endearing per-
sonal traits of the deceased brings
her loss home to each heart.
After coming to this city Miss
Demgen was for several years en-
ployed as clerk in dry goods stores
at this point and Eveleth, her bright
face and CHEEKY disposition winning
for her new friends from day to day.
She later entered the employ of the
late DR.. Bates as assistant postmas-
ter, her work proving 80 efficient
and satisfactory that at the close of
his term in May, 1902, she received
the appointment as his successor
at the earnest and almost unani-
nous solicitation of citizens. At
this time she was a robust and ap-
parently healthy young lady, but a
few months later was stricken with
the dread disease which, despite ev-
ieryseaort of lowing friends, finally
carried her from US. A year ago
she went to Salt Lake City in hopes
that the climatic change might be
beneficial, but returned to the city
in the early spring that her last
days might be spent among those
who loved her 80 we'll, making her
home during the summer with her
sister, Mrs. p. A. Coffey, at whose
home her death occurred.
| The funeral ceremonies were con-
Quoted from Our Lady of Lourdes
| Catholic church, of which the de-
ceased was a devout member, on
Monday forenoon, the impressive
burial ceremonies of the church be-
ing conducted by the Rev. Father
Hogan, the attendance testing the
capacity of the spacious edifce,
while scores of sorrowing friends
formed the funeral cortege which
followed the remains of loved one
to their last rest.
| With the heart-broken relatives
the city mourns and sympathizes,
the crowded church, the beautiful
floral offerings, the manifest grief
of all, testifying to the place held
in our hearts by this noble young
woman whose "sun has gone down
while it is yet day."

We Paid 100000

For the American rights to Liquozone be
fore we made the first bottle. That is the
highest price ever paid for similar rights on
any scientific discovery. Before paying this
price we tested Liquozone for two years,
through physicians and hospitals, in this
country and others. We proved in thou
sands of the most difficult cases obiainable
what LiquoZone would do.
We cured with if hundreds of patients who
had been given Up to diei We cured almost
every disease which was known as i~ncurable.
We continued these tests until the physicians
who made them stated that Liquozone was
of more value to sick humanity than all the
drugs in the world combined. Then we
staked on the product our fortunes and our
regulations.
We tell you these facts TO indicate the
value Of Liquozone. II Is easy to make
claims, and easy to question them. But
when men of our class pay such a price for a
product no one can doubt that we have great
reason for our faith in il.
We use Liquozone daily in our families.
We serve it to every employe in our labora-
tory-4OO of them. We use ii in all the
water we drink to prevent germ contagion.
We use it to keep well. as you will do when
you know il.

We VIII Buy

A SOC bottle Of Liquozone and give it to
you to try. Simply send US the coupon be-
low. Tell US that you have never used it.
Tell US for what you want it. BY return
mail we will send you an order on your local
druggist for a full size bottle. and will pay
your druggist ourselves for it.
Our reason is this: Thousands of people
whom Liquozone could save are dying to-
day without it. Hundreds of thousands are
helpless and sick, simply for the lack of
Liquozone. We cannot, under conditions
like those, wait to convince the sick ones by
argument.
ANY slow method of introducing Liquozone
would seem almost a crime, knowing what
we do Of this product. And, knowing, as we
do, that nothing else in the world can accom-
plish what Liquozone does. So we publish
no testimonials, no evidence of cures. But
we buy a SOC bottle and give il free to every
sick one we learn of suffering from a germ
disease. Thus We get Liquozone into imme-
date use and let the product itself prove its
power. And we publish this offer in 1900
newspapers and magazines, reaching prac-
tically every home in America.

ing their home Mr.. and Mrs. William
DAILY and family of four children, of 1903
Wells street, barely escaped early this
morning. The house was under quarantine,
two of the children being sick with measles.
The fire. which started from a defective

of the family awakened, and a seemingly
impossible barrier of flames cut off egress
at the front of the house. The father
rushed about waking the other members
Of the family and grasping the two sick
children in his arms bade his wife and the
two other children to follow. There was
no time to save valuables, clothing or any
of the contents of the home. The hremen
who arrived soon after could not stay the
progress of the flames and the house and
contents were destroyed. The two sick
children were taken to a neighbours. The
other members of the family in their
nightgowns walked through the snow and
suffered severe frost-bites. The loss was
$500.

DEMOCRAT IS
WILLING TO STAND PAT
Squire Noah R. Freeman, Who
for Sixty-four Years Has
Been a Justice of the Peace.
CAUSE OF HIS ATTITUDE
ciaI to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
r. Freeman, Of this place, who has passed
his ninetieth milestone, is one of the Oldest
and most remarkable justices of the peace
in northern Indiana. He was elected in
1910. and has held office to the present
time. He has married 1000 couples.
Squire Freeman originally held court be-
meath a cluster of wild plum trees, which
were rooted over by the wild grapevines,
on the banks of the Tippecanoe river.
Whenever Squire Freeman's court was in
session the jurors sat on the banks of the
river and caught fish while they deliberated
on their verdict. Judge Freeman is a mer-
chant as we'll as a justice. He is a lifelong
Democrat, and in 1896 was a faithful worker
for william jennings Bryan, who carried
Pulaski county in 1896 largely due TO Mr..
Fresman's influence. During the war with
Spain one of Judge Freeman's sons was
wounded at the battle Of Santiago. and was
sent by the government to his home in
Winamac.
In regard to the presidential candidates,
Squire Freeman says: Il don't want q
change. / want ii to stay just as IL Is.
Roosevelt is more OF a Democrat in the
OF Bryan ever was. Roosevelt is against
the trusts and against the very fellows
I'm against, and they are against Roose-
welt, and I'm for him. He stands for
prosperous times, for the people, for honest
government; and that's what 1 want, and
/ will vote for him. No Bryan or Herst
for me"

WORK NOT DELAYED
BY DEATH
Construction of the K, M. & w.

Doing Good Business
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

KOKOMO, Ind. Feb. 19.-The sudden
death of Henry d. Thomas Wednesday will
not affect or deloy the construction of the
Kokomo, Marion & Western traction line.
Mr.. Thomas was president of the construc-
ton company which is building the road.
The company has lost two presidents by
sudden death in the past few weeks. Early
in the winter O.. V. Darby, of Kokomo, the
first president, died at a hotel in Chicago
while on a business trip in the interest of
the road. Mr.. Thomas, who was vice presi-
dent, then became president of the cor
poration He died of heart trouble while
sitting in his buggy going over right-of-
way near Marion.
The Kokomo, Marion & Western so far as
built is doing a good business, having twen-
ty-five miles of track i'm operation, includ-
ing fifteen miles n Kokomo and ten niles
between Kokomo and Greentown. With but
one small city car running from Kokomo
to Greentown on an hour and thirty min
utes schedule. from 600 to 1000 passengers
are carried daily at Is cents each round
trip.

Kills Inside Germs.

But the most important fact is that oxygen
is also a germicide. No germs can exist in
the presence of an excess of oxygen. The
reason is that germs are vegetables; and an
excess of oxygen-the very life of an animal
lis deadly to vegetable matter.
And SO with Liquozone. 1t is so certain
that we publish on every bottle an offer Of
$1,000 for a disease germ that it cannot kill.
Yet it is not only harmless, but of the utmost
benefit, to the cells Of the human body.
This is the fact which gives to Liquozone
its remarkable value 1t solves the great
problem of killing germs in the body without
killing the tissues, too. And there is no
other way to do it. Any drug that kills
germs is a poison. and it cannot be taken
internally. For that reason. medicine is
practically helpless in any germ disease.
Liquozone, taken internally, goes wher-
ever the blood goes; and as no germ can
escape it, and none can resist it, the results
are inevitable. A germ disease must end
when the germs are destroyed; nothing is
more certain than that. And every physi-
clan knows that a germ trouble can never be
cured until then. The use of Liquozone. in
place of medicine, is fast becoming universal
among modern physicians.

MRS, JUNE GREGG HAD
SEEMED VERY UNHAPPY
of Several Witnesses in
Alienation of Affections Case
at Charlottesville.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE DAY

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 9.-The-
major portion of this mornings session in
the Gregg damage suit trial, i'm which
alienation of a husbands affection is
charged, was taken up with the cross-ex-
animation OF Ben Hickman. the negro doe
tor, OF Paris, Ky, who yesterday testified
that the defendant had listened al the key
hole to OVerhear conversations between her
son and his wife, Mrs. June Gregg. and
that once she had said in his hearing:
June must have been drinking" This
afternoon Mrs. June Gregg was on the
stand.
The defense endeavored TO show bv the
testimony of Hickman that while he worked
at Gregg's home June was represented as
a disturbing element. These questions were
ruled out by the court. as IL was shown
that the witness was given 20 drink. I'm
peaching witnesses Will be introduced
against him later.
Miss Edith Coons, an intimate friend OF
June Gregg, testified that during June's
married life she seemed very unhappy and
was given TO frequent spells of weeping. a.
though she and her husband were veyy
affectionate toward each other.
Mrs. w. w. Goltra, an aunt OF Mrs. June
Gregg, testified likewise, and said that
June had told her shortly before the sepa-
ration that Gregg's mother was the cause
of the trouble.
Mrs. ]. II. Watson testified that she was
astonished, at the changed appearance OF
Mrs. George Gregg soon after her mar
riase. When George kissed his wife once I'm
her presence, his mother said: You had
better kiss me, as l am the one who spr~
ports you"
Mrs. June Gregg was on the stand this
afternoon. She testified that Mrs. Sarah
Gregg objected 10 her kissing her husband;
that her husband treated her all right. but
that his mother told her 10 send TO her
father for money TO buy clothes. She said
Mrs. Sarah Gregg caused her husband 10
make a will giving her all his property.
thus making George dependent on her. She
said her husband went five times with her
to church IN two years. Gregg's mother
would not let the witness walt on her hus-
band when he was sick. because "a sick
boy was better than a dead boy" and that
he might get poisoned" She would not
give witness money TO have clothes made
and then would make fun OF the clothes
she was forced TO make. She did not want
witness TO go to the Christian Church, as
that was for hired girls"
These and other similar statements were
the burden Of Mrs. June Gregg's testimony
She will be on the stand tomorrow and
the case will last most Of next week.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Feb. 19.-James
Mcdonald, the accused murderer of Sarah
schafer. was to-day allowed to talk to the
Journal correspondent. but with the under
standing that no allusion was to be made
as TO his guilt or innocene. He is located
in a cell in the second-story, up a winding
stair. in a room thirty by twenty. and as
the correspondent entered. stopped read
ing a copy of the New Testament. He was
IN the same clothes as when arrested two
weeks ago, and he does not belle his general
appearance, when he says he is contented
and happy. In a half hours talk he re-
verted many times 20 his religious con-
viction. and one must be impressed that
81 he is not entirely feigning he probably
will be a maniac perhaps before he can
finally be called for trial. Mcdonald sald
he was converted while in prison at JEFF
fersonville.
81 fell on my knees and prayed" he
said. land before 1 got up L could hear the
Lord say that all my sins were forgiven"
Mcdonald added that he did not think he
knew enough to preach, but when he got
out OF prison he would go about telling his
friends to live a better life. He resented
into a conversion. Mcdonald said he
could not live with his wife again be-
cause her divorced husband is yet living
and this is against the teaching of the
Scriptures. He said he did not need an
attorney but his entire dependence was on
the Lord. and then he added: THE AL

he was ready for trial any time and would

SUIT BEGUN TO BREAK
WILL OF A MILLIONAIRE
Mrs. M. V. Beiger, of Mishawaka,
Sues to Cancel Requests to
Several Institutions.
TO BE TRIED IN LAPORTE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAPORTE, Ind, Feb. 9.-The will con-
test suit over the million dollar estate left
by Martin V. Beiger, a M~ishawaka manu-
facturer, was filed to-day in the Laporte
Circuit Court on a change of venue from
st. Joseph county. The t~estator, who died
Sept rs. 1903, following an operation for ap-
pendicitis. left about $1.5OO.Oco. He was sur
vived by a widow. but no children. Soon
after his death there was offered for pro-
bate a will, executed on Sept. 10, to which
had been added a codicil two days later, but
Mrs. Beiger filed objections thereto, alleg-
ing that the document had been unduly ex-
ecuted; that Mr.. Beiger was not of sound
mind when the will and codicil were made
and signed.
Details of the will have been published
heretofore. The income of Mrs. Beiger,
under the terms of the will. is estimated TO
be about $1,000 annually. Should she sue
coed in breaking the will she will receive
the entire estate and will be able to give
IL away as she sees fit on her death. If the
nothing. 1t is understood that a number Of
the beneficiaries under the will have signed
agreements to not defend the suit, in con-
sideration of which they will be properly
cared for should the will not stand. The
institutions are making the hardest fight.
for they have everything to lose and moth
ing TO gain.
Some of the finest legal talent in the
country has been engaged.
