The demon suspicion uow Insinuates itself Into tbe affair nnd watch wns kept of Vetter, but nothing convincing could be found. Tho next feature of tho case puts the houso nnd contents In Then suspicion ripened Into action and Votter wus arrested. Mavor CUudson of this city wns called to Tiptop, nnd defended tho accused man at the preliminary trial.

Tho net work of circumstantial evidence was too, strong to venc his being bound over, so ho was phi-ed under bonds. At this term of the district court Mr. Foster defended the prisoner In his usual ablo manner and It Is said by him that ho never In all his experience mot with a case more intrlca In Its evidence. the fact of the matter is, 11 fluid Mr. Foster, "that ono cl tho witnesses, a fat woman of threo hundred pounds avolrdu.

pois, who 1 am confident couldn't touch her knee her hand, positively asserted that she put her stockings on while standing up." Tho jury, at lut accounts, were still out and to all Indications will bring in disagreement.

WORSE THAN FINANCIAL PAKICS. If time is myney, as the saying goes, what losses, far greater than those caused by financial disaster, arc perpetually entailed upon mankind by sickness. Tac dollars laid ni against a rainy day arc swept away, the vital forces are weakened and tho suerer, if he recovers at all, goes to his work again a poorer and not always a wiser man. Perhaps tho cflects of a severe sickness may run through generations, always an clement of weakness and loss. And then the pain and agony, too, often endured! No money estimate can be placed upon them, no measure of loss fixed.

Suffering makes man prematurely old and hurries him to his grave long before his time. Anything, consequently, that can cure sickness and drive away pain is a factor in a uation's wealth, a treasure without price. Such is AflMoplipros, the great cure for neuralgia and rheumatism. Among the innumerable throng benefited iJJ' it is-Gcorgc Hoffman, of Cedar Falls, whose story, was thus told by his wife Jo a visitor: "Three bottles of Afhlophoroa cured my husband entirely, so that he has not hud ache of rheumatism since, now over a year ago. For many years previous there never time lie was free from pain.

Neither doctors nor medicine could drive the diseasS away. The trouble was sciatic rheumatism in the right leg. doctors saiI lie would always have it, as they did not think there was any cure. I5ut there was, as Athloplioros did the work and permanently, or he would have had trouble again during the severe weather of last winter." "Was he suffering much at the time he began using Athlonkoros?" was asked of Mrs. Hoflhiun.

"Yes; a great deal from a severe attack, but the medicine took hold of the disease at once, and by the time he had used three bottles lie was entirely well. It would be diflicult to say how much money Mr. Ho HIM an lias spent during the many years he has suffered in his attempt to get rid of the disease. It was not so much the question of loss, however, but of what to do to get rid of the pain tliat we cared about. Since my husband is well wo both great pleasure in recommending Athlo- plioros." Another resident of Cedar Falls who has been cured of rheumatism by the same remedy is Mr.

Snyder, the father of E. A- Snydor, one of the editors of the Cedar Falls GVircWc. Mr. Snyder is a gentleman well advanced in years, and for a long lime had been a great sufferer from the discr.sc. Til answer to inquiries tho sou gives this brief but satisfactory account of the CSIBC: "Three bottles cured my father of rheumatism that ho had been suffering from for many years.

That was just about a. year and lie lias had not the least return of the trouble Bincc. Athloplioros is undoubtedly the medicine for rheumatism, My father's case is not the only one 1 know of where it has effected a cure. Others that were much worse have been brought to my notice und in all it was most decidedly HUCCCSsfdl." Mrs. S.

Wilson, of llio same plarc, says: "I liavo never had tho rheumatism mv- self, but 1 have taken much interest in Athloplioros. It is a good medicine and has proved its incritb in many cases that know of."
