Wins remarkable Case in Court. Wins remarkable Case in Court. A verdict of not guilty was rendered in the case of the state of Iowa vs. Ed Powell, colored, charged with carrying concealed weapons. The jury was out less than an hour and a half, as Judge H. B. Boies turned the case over to their decision at 8:30 p. m. George Woodson, the colored attorney of Buxton, Iowa, employed by Powell to defend him, created considerable diversion by his argument, which sparkled with wit and humor, while at times it bristled with sarcasm. The court from the most remote spectator to Judge Boies upon the bench, were rocked by laughter as they watched the colored attorney roll his eyes, flash his white teeth and with a comical gesture drive home a shaft of wit. Powell was shot in a leg by an officer at 10 o'clock on the night of December 6, last year. Representatives of the street car company and police were on the lookout for an unknown Negro who had been holding up conductors and relieving them of the company's money. They encountered Powell on this night and when they ordered him to stop, he broke into a run. His actions naturally aroused suspicion and six shots were sent in his direction to induce him to stop running. One of the bullets struck one leg. Mr. Woodson explained why Powell broke and ran when he was ordered to stop by stating the defendant had $120 on him and when he encountered the o*cers he thought they were hold-up men and ran to escape. Referring to the testimony of Maurice Welsh, who said he shot in the air, Woodson said he wondered if Welsh thought Powell was a flying machine.—Waterloo Times-Tribune. members and friends to be present and hear her.

There is a mistaken notion among a whole lot of people that booze is the best remedy for colic and stomach ache. any drug among the A table stitutes not enoug THE NEW YORK TIMES Protection of Health By Wm. H. Harper, B. S., M. D. Epsom Salts. (Magnesia sulpras), (magnesium sulphate.) Though the most common drug in use today, I venture to say its use is just as commonly abused. No household is complete without Epsom salts. It is so simple that—doubtless many of my readers were prone to smile when noting the subject matter of this paper. Though plentiful, common and apparently simple to take, unless properly administered, may defeat the purpose for which it is taken. The action of Epsom salts is not confined to the gastro-intestinal tract—as is commonly believed, but when properly administered has a general systematic effect—the value of which is very often under-estimated. Epsome salts is the best saline purge that we now have. We ordinarily take Epsom salts when constipated or after eating something that does not agree with us. In either case, the taking of it is justified. The bowels of every individual should be flushed at least twice a month, whether constipated or not. It should, however, be borne in mind that upon some individuals salts has a constipative after-effect, that is after the free movements caused by the salts there is a temporary lacking of the bowels. For those that have noticed such to be peculiar to themselves, the same can be counteracted by the use of some vegetable laxative or purgative such as Elixir Cascara, one to two teaspoonful taken the day after the free movements of the bowels caused by the salts. Elizir Cascara can be obtained at Epsom Salts. any drug store and should like salts be among the household remedial agents. A tablespoonful of Epsom salts constitutes the average dose. Too often not enough is taken and as a result nasea and sometimes vomiting ensues. It should be taken in about three-quarters of a glass of luke-warm water, about one-half hour before breakfast. If it is not convenient to take it before breakfast, which is the best time; it should be taken on an empty stomach at least one-half hour before meal time. After the taking of the salts, two to three glasses of water (hot or cold) should be drunk. This supplies the necessary fluid for the evacuation of the bowels without extracting it from the surrounding tissues, which would be the case if the water was not supplied by drinking. Many people cannot take salts because of its bitter, saline and nauseous taste. In such instances a preparation of salts called magnesium citrate, it being remembered that Epsom salts in magnesium sulphate, is very well born. Magnesium Citrate is prepared usually in twelve ounce bottles and is sold by most druggists. The taste is similar to that of lemonade, the contents of a bottle is not too much for the averagie individual to take at one time. The administration is similar to that of Epsom salts. The oft-advertised kidney salts have nothing on Epsom salts for efficacy in doing the kidneys good. As far as flushing the kidneys is concerned, there is nothing that equals drinking plenty of water, but for resting the kidneys so that they might become stronger, there are few drugs if any, which surpass common Epsom salts. If your kidneys bother you and you want to flush them drink plenty of water, then take dose of Epsom salts and notice the improvement. Electa Grand Chapter O. E.
