LOCATED A BAND
OF WIRE TAPPERS
THAT HAS BEEN GETTING LARGE
SUMS OF MONEY.
Two Loads Of Furniture and Parapher
malta Taken Away-Prominent
Men SWindled.

New York, Feb. 16.-What is be-
lieved to have been the headquarters
Of a band of wire tappers that has
been getting large sums of money
from wealthy victims for some time
past was descended on this afternoon
by Central Office detectives and
stripped of all it's furniture and par

The place was located at Twenty
second street and Fifth avenue.
Central Office detectives have had
the place under surveillance since
that time With a squad of men
from the Central Office, detective SER
geant Mundy appeared before the
building about four clock today. A
few minutes later two patrol wagons
were driven up from the East Twen-
ty-secOnd street and West Twenti-
eth street stations.
The detectives in charge Of Mundy
broke open the doors of the offices
in the fifth floor and proceeded to
strip the place of furniture, carpets
and gambling paraphernalia of all de-
scriptions, including a number of tel
ephones.
Both patrol wagons were filled with
this material, which was taken to
police headquarters.
The police believe the place was
the rendezvous of the men who have
been swindling citizens like Felix.
the music publisher out of large sums
and they believe the raid will put
an end to the business for some
time to come.

ROBERTSVILLE FIGHT
Prominent Citizens of That Section
Engage in Regular knockdown.

Engage IN regular NnockdoWn.
Robertsville, Feb. 15.-At a public
sale held at the Myers farm southeast
of this village Wednesday, there was
a lively fight between Marion Brothers
and Robert Cassidy, two well known
citizens. There has been an old
grudge between the men for some time
past, growing out of the time that
Brothers acted as an appraiser in a
roadway case through land owned by
Cassidy.
At the sale Brothers charged that
Cassidy was trying to run down the
farm, it is said. A dispute arose that
became quite warm. After exchanging
compliments they came together.
Brothers knocked Cassidy down, but
the latter no more than struck the
ground than he was on his feet and
rushed at Brothers. Brothers again
struck his opponent, sending him back
against the fence. Brothers lost his
footing and fell, Cassidy falling upon
top of him.
About this time the women appeared
upon the scene and the men were sep
arated. The affair created some ex-
citement, owing to the prominence of
the men.

OHIO CONCERNS LIKE MURDER.
Are Interested in a New
Jersey Tax Case
Decision.
IMPLEMENTS TAXED

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 16.--A novel
and interesting point has been raised
before the state board of taxation by
the Johnston Harvester Co., the
American Seeding Machine Co. and
the International Harvester Co., Ohio
concerns, in the matter of the ap-
peals of the companies from an as
sessment of $4,000, laid upon a lot OF
farming machinery by the assessors
of Phlllipsburg.
Phillipsburg is the distributing de-
pot of the cJmpanys for New Jersey
and the assessment was made on the
machinery sent there to the agents.
The companies have appealed from
the assessment and asked the state
board to quash it on the ground that
it is illegal under the fifth section
of the constitution of the United
States, providing that no tax or duty
shall be laid on articles exported
from one state to another and that
property in transit or temporarily
within the state for sale shall not
be subject to taxation there, although
entitled to receive protection of the
law for the time being.
1t is the first time the point has
been raised in this state, and is Of
far-reaching import, as the decision
will affect large amounts of merchan-
disc sent into the state on consign-
ment by manufacturers or merchants
in other states.
The question has been argued be-
fore the state board, and the matter
Is now being considered, pending
the handing down of the opinion.
In the argument the appellants
claimed that property in transit
through the state or which is sent
into the state simply for the purpose
of sale is not to be cleared as hay
ing situs within the state for the
purpose of taxation. The assessors
argued that the tax was legal and
should be paid under section 2, article
l, of the tax act of April 8, 1908.
This provides that "all property
real and personal, within the juris
diction of this state, not expressly
exempted by this act, or excluded
from its operation shall be subject
to annual taxation at it's true value
under this act, and shall be entered
on the list of taxable property"
1t was claimed the goods were moi
in transit and, therefore, did not
come within the meaning of the Ian
guage of the United States constitu
tion referred to.
1t was alleged that storehouse
was rented and the goods stored
there; that the goods were shipped
to Phillipsburg months before they
were sold and could not be claimed
to be goods in transit. Therefore
it was argued, the property came un
der the. New Jersey tax laws anG
| must he subject To tax"

Cleveland, o., Feb. 16.-Charges Of
bad faith and manipulation for spec

Longest renee In the World.

The longest fence in the world is
probably that which has been built
by cattle company along the Mex
lean border. II seventy-five miles
In length and separates exactly for
its entire distance the two republics.
The fence was built to keep the cattle
from running across the border and
falling an easy prey to the Mexican
cow punchers. Although 1t cost a
great deal OF money, 1t is estimated
that cattle enough win be saved in
one year to more than pay for II,

We Will Buy
SOC. Bottle 1icuozone and Give it to Try.

We want you to know about Liquo-
zone, and the product itself can tell
you more than we. So we ask you to let
us buy you bottle-a full-size bottle
to try. Let it prove that it does what
medicine cannot do: See what a tonic
it is. Learn that it does kill germs.
Then you will use it always, as we do
and as millions of others do.
This offer itself should convince you
that Liquozone does as we claim. We
would certainly not buy a bottle and
give it to you if there was any doubt
of results. You want those results;
you want to be we'll and to keep well
And you can't do that-nobody can
without LiQuozone.

Beating the Devil With Corn.

The new sweet corn happily named
Peep O'Day is creating great SEN
sation in all parts of the country
from the fact that it is ten days TO
two weeks earlier than any other
variety and is the sweetest of all
sweet corn, Rev. A. L. Struthers OF
Alfred, Maine wrote last July as
follows to Northrup, King & Co., the
Seedman, of Minneapolis, orginators
of this wonderful corn:
I'VE are eating corn from the
early Peep O'Day Sweet purchased
of you last spring. I told an old
farmer the other day that had
green corn for dinner, be looked at
me in establishment then said "Out
of can? "I said, No off the cob.
"Come from the south?. No, out of
my garden. He looked at me a
minute and then said, "That beats
the deviE'.
While my occupation as a minis
ter is fighting the devil, I never
thought before of competing with
him by raising corn. I could not
possibly have succeeded with any
variety but Peep O'Day."
For Is cents, Northrup, King &
Co., are offering to mail 300 seeds
Sufficient to plant go hills) of Peep
O'Day corn ard to send their
pictured catalogue of Northern
grown seeds. Write Northrup,
King & Co., Seedsmen, 80 Northrup

cents, and you will receive a sealed
package of this wonderful corr and

We Paid 100000

For the American rights to Liquo-
zone. We did this after testing the
product for two years, through physi-
slams and hospitals, after proving, in
thousands of different cases, that
Liquozone destroys the cause of any
germ disease.
Liquozone has, for more than 20
years, been the constant subject OF
scientific and chemical research. 1t is
not made by compromising drugs. nor
with alcohol. It's virtues are derived
solely from gas-largely oxygen gas
by process requiring immense appa-
ratus and IA days time. The result is
a Liquid that does what oxygen does.
It is a nerve food and blood fcod-the
most helpful thing in the world to you.
Morris tribune., 1905-02-25

It's effects are exhi1arating, vita1izing,
purifying. Yet it is germicide so
certain that we publish on every bot
tie an offer of $1,000 for a disease
germ that it cannot kill The reason
is that germs are vegetables; and
Liquozone-like an excess of oxygen
is deadly to vegetal matter
There lies the great value of Liquo-
zone. 1t is the only way known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissue, too. Any drug that kills germs
is poison, and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Every physician knows that
medicine is almost helpless in any
germ disease.

HEAVY WHEAT FOR SEED.
Ward Stone Finds that Light Wheat
Will not Produce Strong Plants.

Ward Stone Finds that Light Wheat
Will not Produce Strong Plants.
Will rusted whea' grow?
This is the question that the
farmers of the Northwest have been
asking this winter, and the efforts OF
the agricultural department and of
the agricultural schools have be en-
directed to answer the question.
The results of the experiments con-
busted in the schools and on the
farms has been to answer the ques-
tons in the affirmative, and all the
experimenters have found that any
where from 95 to 100 per cent of the
rust stricken kernels would grow.
But another question occurred to
Ward Stone, and in our opinion its
answer is more important than the
answer to the first question, The
question which Mr.. Stone put to
Prof. Light, of the state experiment
station; was
Even if rusted wheat will grow
will it prodvce plant vigorous and
strong enough to withstand the
sevene spring weather?
Mr.. Stone received only yesterday
the answer to his question in the
shape of letter from Prof. Light.
enclosing a photograph of three sets
of wheat plants.
The experiments were made with
40 pound, AZ pound SIS pound wheat
All was put thru the tanning mill
All of the different weights sprouted
equally we'll. but as the plants grew a
great difference was noticeable among
them. Only the SIS pound wheat
has produced a strong, vigorous
growth, such as can resist the severe
weather of the spring time. The Al
pound wheat is only half as tall as
the first mentioned, and but little
better than the 40 pound variety
Besides the differen( in height,
there is a great difference in the
vlgor of the plants. Both the 40 and
AZ pound varieties are lacking in
vigor, and in the opinion of Dean
Light would not be able to resist
the severe spring weather.
Ward Stone has performed great
service to the wheat growing farmers
by raising the question, and obtain
ing an authoritative answer.
Farmers who have been led to
believe that their wheat could be
used for seed, would do we'll to test
it carefully and find out for them
selves not only whether their wheat
will grow, but if it will produce
strong plants.

"The Father of His Country. .

"The Father of His Country"
A crowded congregation listened
to tle third lecture, delivered by DR..
Shetland last Sunday evening, on
Geoege Washington.
The ANCESTRY of Washington from
the Norman conquest showed
strong traits of christian genious,
military and executive ,>xcellance.
Such an ancestry is a noble inner
lance.
The PRINCIPLES OF THE GOSPEL so
patiently and thoroughly taught
him by his mother are the solid
foundation for successful life.
Pitiable IL the young man who has
no principles. The churches have
taught with more or less thorough
ness things christian child ought
to know, they have not gone far
enough till they put the child in
spiritual contvct with the Great
Teacher and the child has learned
that success is to do what He wants
us to do.
A CHRISTIAN MOTHER gave such
counsel as took Wast ington from
the position of a midshipman and
made him larger, nobler greater,
man. The boys best friend on earth
is his mother. Her form may pe
bent because of cateing for him.
Her hands are beautiful in devotion
to him. Her prayers lift him up
into touch with heaven.
DILIGENCE made Washington a
government surveyor at eighteen years
of age and brought him fortune by
investment in the lands he studied.
Are you studious? The young man
who goes to the "ministrels" on
Monday evening hears the nine
talented performers, on Tuesday
evening, attends the skating rink On
Wednesday evening, sees the dane
ing bears on Thursday evening
views the wild men Of Borneo on
Friday evening, sees the many wives
of Winsor on Saturday evening at

performance on Sunday, has little
time for Improvement, he plays
little "chickens," fox and geese
twelve men of Morris, crokino, Par
cheese, carroms, sledge, dominos,
halma, billiards, poker, finch, eucher,
muggins, has no time to make
fortune, has wasted his time, is a
mere fraction Of man, failure.
Be so USEFUL YOU CANNOT BE SPARED
is good rule. Washington kept it
as aside with Braddock, in congress
as commander in CT ief. The com
panion between Washington and
Napoleon was skillful.
SAY NO when it is a plan for selfish
ness. Washington said no to the offer
of crown, to the offered donation
in money to the offered "shares".
D1sARM ENEMIES by overcoming
evil with good as he illustrated in
dealing with the Conway Cabal, with
Volney, with Patrick Henry, with the
political opposition, in his farewell
address, in courtesy.
Be READY TO DIE, his will was
made, his affairs in order, his books
balanced, his soul at peace with God,
his share made free.
EARTHLY IMMORTALITY comes of

you want people to love you be a
blessing to them. The Watzke
