Usher's wife found her husband

to know absolutely nothing
about it.
DR.. Faison was called to see
the injured man, and stated that
the brains had run out on the

with the blood. The Sheriff
visited Usher's home and talked
with him, although he was in a

pronounced the wound a very
dangerous one.

WITNESSES DEAF AND DUMB.
Testimony Taken in Davenport Case
BY Means Of Writing.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport Jan. ga novel feature
of the case of Sherman VS.. the Crescent
Macaroni Company, was the placing on
the witness stand yesterday of two
deaf and dumb men, Fred Davis and
Charles Cannon, both employees of the
company, who were at work in the
factory at the time the accident hap
pened to Hattie Sherman. The tes-
timony of the two men was taken in
writing. The questions would be
written out and read to the jury, then
they would be handed to the witness,
who would write his answer. which
would be read to the jury. The meth
Cd of getting their evidence was nee
essarily a tedious one and the wit
nesses were on the stand nearly all of
the forenoon.
The plaintiff in the case is Hattie
Sherman who had her hand injured
in one of the machines of the COM
pany The point that the defense is
trying to make is that she was not or
dered to go to the machine where her
hand was injured and that the COM
pany is therefore not responsible for
the injury that she received.
The case has developed into one of
the hardest legal fights that has come
before the court for many months and
it seems likely that it will be two or
three days longer before 1t Is COM
pleted.

small per cent, but now the knowledge
that there is cane sugar in the can
without knowing how much, stops the
public from buying.
A few months ago the state supreme
court rendered a decision in a case
which caused some pleasure to the
leaders in the Iowa Anti-Saloon league.
This was the case of Day V. Augur,
from Grundy county, involving the
sufriciency of the consent petit
lions in Grundy. In November,
1904, statement of consent was filed
with the board of supervisors signed by
more than 60 per cent of the voters
but before the canvass was made with
drawals were filed which, if counted,
would reduce the number on the con-
sent opinion to a too low number. The
board took advantage of technical mat
ters and ignoring the Withdrawals, de-
clared the petition sufficient.
The anti-saloon league went into
court and has finally won out on the
ground that the Withdrawals should
have been considered. One point made
by the defense was that time should
have been given to take dispositions in
regard to the identity of those purport-
Ing to withdraw. The supreme court
says that to do this would defeat the
entire law.
President McCash, of the league, has
been criticised, and officers and the
attorneys of the league were censured
for the case, and the charge was made
that they gave up in Grundy without
nj In, Io ND Of orr
expense, they have won the case, and
the Grundy saloons will either close or
new petitions will have to be secured

Catarrh Of the Stomach
A. Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure for 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable The usual symptoms are
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, formation of gases
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the inter-
Tor Of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble Is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal tablet, composed OF Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tab
lets can nov be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and not being a patent medi-
cine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr. r. S. Workman, Chicago, ILL.,,
writes: "Catarrh Is local condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane Of
the nose becomes inf1amed and the
poisonous discharges therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh OF
the stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for ca
tarrh of stomach without cure. but to-
day / am the. happiest of men after
using only one box Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. I cannot fnd appro-
pirate words to express my good feel
Ing. hav. found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest. preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion. catarrh OF
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

WINS CHARLES wEARE HOME.
Mrs. Cook, Niece, Secures Valuable
Cedar Rapids Property.

Cedar Rapids Property.
NCedar Rapids, Jan. 23-The argu-
ments in the case Of Mrs. Carrie c.
Cook vs. Jno. S. Ely, executor of the
estate of Charles Weare, deceased, were
closed yesterday and Judge Ellison, be-
fore whom the case was tried, made his
decision Immediately, sustaining the
petition, granting the relief demanded
and quieting the title to the property
in controversy in the plaintiff, Mrs.
Cook.
This case has been a long and hard
fought one, the trial having been COM
menced on Tuesday, the 18TH and was
continuously before the court since
with little interruption. The property
involved in the contest was the house
in which Mr.. Charles Weate, deceased,
resided for number of years and is
situated on South Seventh street, Ce-
dar Rapids, being the second house
south of First avenue, together with
the contents of the house and the land
upon which it stands, The claim OF
Mrs. Cook, who is daughter of Isaac
Carroll, one of the oldest residents OF
this city, is about as follows: That at
the solicitation of her uncle, Charles
Weare, some ten years ago, she became
a member of his family, which at that
time consisted Of himself and wife.
Her aunt and uncle We're childless
were living alone in the property and
Mrs. Cook, then Miss Carroll, assumed
and performed the duties of compan-
ion, assistant and daughter of the old
people and rendered herself so neces-
sary to their comfort that they strenu-
ously objected to her leaving and even
at times when she contemplated going
away for the purpose of fitting herself
for some business Mr.. and Mrs. Weare
refused to let her go, Mr.. Weare prom
Using that if she would stay with them
that at his death she should have the
house in which they lived and its con-
tents. A few years ago Mrs. Weare
died and the old gentleman with his
niece still continued to live in the
house on Seventh street UP to the
death of Mr.. Weare in 1906. During all
this time Miss Carroll, now Mrs. Cook
remained ministering to the needs OF
her uncle as companion, servant, as
sistant and as a loving and affection
ate daughter.
When the Weare will was probated
no mention was made of the gift and
the administrator resisted Mrs. Cooks

cause of the people in matters or lesls-
lation. The matter was first discussed
at a meeting of the committee as al
ready reported. Then the committee
held second meeting and authorized
| the chairman to send the invitations.
The attorneys for the railroads Will
be given an opportunity to be heard
at every committee meeting, but the
committee does not propose to end
there, and will have the peoples side
represented also, even II it has TO go
into the highways and byways or get
authority from the house to subpoena
witnesses.
The graduate nurses bill has again
been introduced. This proposition was
much debated at the last session and
was killed because it created another
board to take up room in the state
house. The bill introduced yesterday
in the house by Clarke provides for
commission of three persons to be ap-
pointed by the governor, who shall
serve as commission to examine
nurses and no nurse shall be allowed
to follow the profession of nurse I'M
less in possession Of a certificate from
this board.
That the people do not forget crimes
committed in their midst Is evidenced
by the way remonstrances are pouring
into the house against the pardon OF
M. B. Foster. convicted in Taylor coun-
ty some twenty five years ago, or
more, for the murder of Emmett Reed,
a thrifty young man from Kossuth
county Reed was the possessor of
team of mules and two teams OF horses.
When the old Diagonal railroad was
being constructed in the southern part
of the state, he went there, and with
his teams and some men did construc-
ton work The work being completed,
he started for home. Foster was bar
Der by trade, but a gambler by occu-
patton, and a camp follower of the
construction gang. He asked Reed to
let him ride back to the northern part
of the state with him, Foster being
from the same locality as Reed. Reed
consented. They camped near Block
town, Iowa, one night. Soon after,
some children discovered an old trunk
floating in the stream. Neighbors
dragged out the trunk, and remember
ing the two young men, also dragged
the stream, bringing out the body of
Reed with his head crushed. Foster
was apprehended near Nebraska City,
tried and convicted, and sentenced to
hang, but upon appeal got new trial
and life Imprisonment. Ever since he
has been trying to get a pardon. When
apprehended near Nebraska City, he
had Reeds teams and wagon. Before
starting home, Foster said he had no
money, and it was known that Reed
had several hundred dollars. When ar
rested Foster was found to have
within a few dollars of the amount
Reed had. He pleaded not guilty, and
claimed he had bought the team from
Reed and that Reed had started to go
home by rail-

DREADED TO EAT
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hun
CRY nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal
into the furnace, and our sense of
appetite becomes unnatural and per-
verted. Then we eat the wrong kind
of food or eat too much, and there
you are-indigestion and it's accom-
panying miseries.
A Phila. lady said the other day:
my husband and l have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from

STARVING IN
RUSSIA AND CHINA
Alexis AIadyin, Russian Leader,
Declares Famine Terrible.
100000 HUNGRY CHINAMEN
The Greatest Famine in the History
of the World Impending in Two
Nations - American Assistance
Asked For Relief of Millions.

New York City.-Unless immediate
succor be sent to the Chinese famine
sufferers in the district north of the
Yangtse River the lives of 10000
900 starving Chinese farmers will be
snuffed out within a few weeks.
A communication to this effect was
received by z. R. Johnston, of the
Christian Herald, from q prominent
civic society in China which has been
soliciting aid for the famine sufferers
from the nations of the world.
Immediate steps will be taken by
charitable institutions of this city to
send relief to the sufferers.
"The famine in North China is the
most terrible in the history of the
world" said MI. Johnston. mot
sven the famines of India can com
pare with it. 1t covers an area Of
more than 100000 square miles, with
4 population of 10, 600. 1t is in
avitable that this whole population
will be wiped out unless relief be
sent at once.
Last October and November it
rained in this district for forty days
without cessation. Every crop was
utterly ruined. The Chinese of that
section rely for food entirely upon
what they raise. They are mostly
small land holders or tenants.
"The whole country was covered
with water, and as there were no
;rops there was no seed for a new
planting. In December 100000 of
the 100000 inhabitants were des-
titute and thousands had died. By
February 1 the whole population was
starving and the suffering was terri
5le."

American people with the conditions
in Russia. His return to Russia will
be governed by theresult of the pend
Ing election through which he may
be sent to the new Duma as the rep
resentative of the Peasant Party of
Simbirsk, Volga Province.
Thirty millions of Russian people
are to-day on the verge of starvation"
he said. "In many of the provinces
the crops have been a failure, and
conditions have not improved during
the year. In March, April and May
it is probable that a million people
will die. The Government is alarmed
over the outlook, and money has been
appropriated for relief. This money
was diverted, and at present there is
an investigation N to discover what
became of the famine funds"

Wonderful Artesian Wells.

Hot and cold water, direct from
the ground, for irrigation, drinking,
bathing and heating, comprise the
offerings now made by the wonderful
artesian well belt of South Dakota.
Contractors who sank an artesian
well for the Northwestern Railroad
at Midland found. that the water that
came to the surface with a rush had
a temperature of 135 degrees. All
that is required is to pipe this water
to the houses where it will be carried
with its own force to thoroughly heat
the homes. These artesian wells of
South Dakota, now thousands in
number, have literally made the
State. Of $50 artesian wells over
400 feet deep, sixty-f1ve are over 1000
feet deep and two $500, or about half
a mile. The majority have sufficient
head to raise the water in open pipes
from 100 to 500 feet above the sur
face. The great pressure is used to
furnish power for a variety of pur-
poses.-The Epitomist.
