Forest fires started by both are most
ly unnecessary. II campers would
exercise care in starting camp fres

homesteaders and persons clearing

of the fires which have started this
year. particularly those which nave
swept over the Lake States.

WHAT STARTS
FOREST FIRES.

What starts these forest fires!
This question has been asked over

tive fires which have been raging IN

things which start blases In the forest
are forgotten. II Is true that perhaps
one-half to three-fonrths Of the for

carelessness Of some camper- or
from sparks flying from locomotives
but there are . number Of things
which set the woods a-fare.

AMEs CASE DISMISSED.
County Attorney Realizes He Has No
Case Against j. e. Judge.

Special to Times-Republican.
Ames, April 23.-The case against J.
E. Judge, of Ames, who was on trial in
the criminal court for alleged procuring
of a contract for sale of land by fraud
ulent representation, was ended by the
county attorney dismissing the charge.
The case was that in which Mr.. A. H.
Sulman charged Mr.. Judge with induc-
ing him to exchange a farm of 100
acres in South Dakota for a restaurant
at Ames. Mr.. Sulman charged that
Judge had represented to him the res
taurant was worth $4,000, and upon
such representation Sulman entered
into a contract to make the exchange.
On the trial, Mr. Judge showed Mr..
Sulman had inspected the restaurant
before he made the trade: and that
having done so he agreed to make the
exchange. Later Sulman claimed the
restaurant was not worth more than
$500. The case was settled today, by
Sulman agreeing to restore the restau-
rant to the condition in which it was
at the time he took possession. upon
which Mr.. Judge will transfer the Da-
kota land back to him and call the
deal off. Mr. Judge showed, also. that
Mr. Sulman had represented to him
the land was incumbered only for So
200, when, in fact, it was mortgaged
for $4,000.

pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Mason City, April 23.-Charged with
wife desertion, Roy Lewis Davis, a
resident of Nora Springs, was arrested
here last evening on the order of the
officers at Nora Springs. Davis was
taken in custody as he was about to
board a Northwestern train for Omaha,
where he has relatives, and where he
said he expected to bury his troubles
and forget an alleged combative wife.
The leave taking of Davis was the
elimination of what is said to have
been prolonged and somewhat stormy
domestic scene, and in order to get
away from repetition Of it, he chose
ignominious flight Instead Of the Of
ficers arriving for Davis this morning,
Mrs. Davis came and was taken to the
Jail where her husband was confined.
A somewhat melting interview fol-
lowed, in which the unhappy couple
chung to the bars on either side Davis
cell, and sobbed pleadings for forgive
ness in each others ears. A reconcilia-
ton was effected, and at Mrs. Davis
request, the husband was released and
they returned home seemingly happy.
Mrs. Davis is a large woman, tho
young in appearance, while her hus-
band is much smaller, and seems to
be of a retiring disposition.

Poison-laden
Blood
Resulting from artificial winter life is
purified by Dr.. A. w. Chase's Kidney
and Liver Pills.

Few people breathe enough fresh
air in winter to purify the blood.
AS result spring finds the blood
laden with poisons and there are head
aches, pains in the limbs and tired
WORKOUT feelings.
The liver and kidneys become slug
gish and clogged and quite fail in their
mission of filtering and purifying the
blood.
1t is because of their direct and spe-
cific action on these organs that DR.. A.
w. Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills are
so wonderfully effective as purifiers of
the blood-for it is by means of the
liver and kidneys alone that the blood
can be purified.
This medicine insures regular and
healthful action on the bowels, cleanses
and invigorates the whole digestive and
excretory systems and thereby removes
the cause of pains and aches, of tired,
langutd feelings, billiousness, backache
and constipation.
Purify the blood this Spring by using
DR.. A. W. Clase's Kidney and Liver
Pills, and you will not know what-it is
to feel depressed and to suffer the eff
fects Of sluggish, torpid liver. kidneys
and bowels, one pill a dose, % cts a
