ACID THROWING CASE ON TRIAL.
Miss Haeerty in Court Charged With
Attack on Ella Geary.

Special TO Times Republican.
Dubuque, Oct 24.-One of the most
interesting criminal cases On the
docket at this term OF the district court
comes up today. The case is that Of the
State Of Iowa versus Carrie Hagerty,
and is more commonly known as the
'Geary case
1t was several years ago that the
police Of the city were called to the
home Of Ella Geary, a young and un-
usually pretty girl. The officers found
the girl writing in pain caused by
strong acid which had been thrown in
her face by some mysterious person. In
relating the story of the occurrence,
Miss Geary said that woman knock
ed at her door and threw the poison
III hoy "hc1 shG stepped outside the
home in answer to the summons. For
weeks. however, she was unable TO talk
and the police were in the dark. After
hovring between life and death for
some time, she finally recovered suffi-
emily to give officers complete descrip-
ton of her assailant. Even with this
the police were unable to locate
suspect and It was only last fall, after
state officers had taken up the trail
that the arrest Of Miss Hagerty occur
red.
Little information has been secured
regarding the evidence on which the
state bases it's case against Miss
Hagerty, but it is believed that some
startling rvelations are in store at the
trial which begins today.
Both young women are we'll known
in this city and much interest is being
displayed in the pending trial.

NOVEL IDEA TO END WAR.
Iowa Man Would Offer Bounty to Ger
mans Who Desert.

Special, to Times Republican.
Missouri Valley, Oct. 24.--IW. A.
Smith, pioneer resident Of Harrison
county and largely interested in bank
ing in three different towns, extensive
land owner and liberal contributor to
the Red Cross and Liberty Bond fund
has sent to President Wilson a plan
to hasten the end Of the war; and
thereby save many lives and eSpendi-
ture of large funds. His plan proposes
the offer by this and other allied gov
ernments OF i bounty for all German
sailors or soldiers who will find their
way to the British, French, or Amer
lean trenches and voluntarily give
themselves up as prisoners Of war. The
bounty, at least, should be 800 for
privates and larger sums for officers,
with good care during the war and
transportation to their respective
homes at the close Of the war. This
offer to be made in the language OF
Germans and Austrians and other as
sisting nations, and scattered by the
millions by aeroplanes over German
lines and territory.
The recent mutinies in the German
navy the dissensions between the Ger
man and Austrian navies, the bad feel
ing in the German army over forced
enlistment Of men and boys over and
under legal ages, the forced subscrip-
ton to the German loans, as well as
many OF their hardships in Germany
make this an opportune time to attack
the morale of the German forces, and
hope the offer OF bounty can be
speedily made" says Mr.. Smith.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-H You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes pimples "a bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
Dr.. Edwards, a well-known physician
In Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear.
ing the system of impurities.
