MINNESOTA OF Meeting Held at Westminster Church Last Evening Is Attended by Repre sentative Ministers ~and Laymen-r Resolutions Passed Asking President Roosevelt and Congress to Stop Atrocities. Two thousand citizens of Minneapolis interested themselves last night at Westminster church in the affairs of the people of the Congo Free state. Dis between a frostbound city of the northwest and the equatorial African country was forgotten and, deeply moved with tales of cruelty inflicted by the agents of King Leopold II., every member of the great audience seemed seized with a desire to be up and doing for this suffering race of another color^ but yet of mankind. Rev. Herbert Johnson of the War ren Avenue Baptist church, Boston, and Mrs. John Harris of the Congo Inde pendent State, Africa, were the speakers. On the platform were seated ministers of various denominations, representing the various uniting churches whose con gregations formed the audience. Mayor Jones Presides. Rev. Dr. John E. Bushnell, pastor of the church, introduced Mayor D. P.wold, Jones, who presided. At the close of the interesting service Dr. Cyrus Nor throp, president of the University of Minnesota, made a short address. Bev. Dr. L. H. Hallock of Plymouth Congre gational church, Rev. Dr. Lathan A. Crpndall of Trinity Baptist church, and Rev. Theodore Payne Thurston of St.entire Paul's Protestant Episcopal church, had a part in the program. Tales of atrocities that almost made the audience wish for a cessation of detail were the burden of the talk of Mrs. Harris. Mr. Johnson paved the way by stating that Belgium was not held to be involved in the conditions in Congo, but on Leopold II., who hap pened to be king of the .Belgians, was laid the onus of the crimes against hu manity. He related the beginning of the Congo Reform association, of which Mark Twain is the firse vice president, and its hope of arousing the people to such an extent that congress will be led to action that will result in remov al of the abuses. Sentiment of Meeting. Sentiment and sympathy in last night's massmeeting was crystalized in a resolution, prepared by President Northrop, which will be forwarded to President Roosevelt.

Oppbrtunity was given 'to subscribe to the movement and many pressed for ward to the pulpit to meet Mrs. Harris personally, and to give her the right hand of cheer in the work with which Mr. Harris and the Rev. Mr. Johnson are also associated. 1 SAYS CHARGES OF GRAFT ARE FALSE COUNSEL FOB DTJLUTH FIRE CHIEF MAKES STATEMENT. Black's Attorney Declares Prosecution of His Client Is Spite Work and that Political Phase May Be Developed When Hearing Is ResumedAccused Official Will Testify and Be Cross Examined. Special to The Journal. Duluth, Minn., Feb. 26.Counsel for John T. Black, chief of the fire department o this city, now on trial on an alleged charge of grafting, says that indisputable testimony will be Intro duced 'when the healing is resumed next Fri day that will clear the atmosphere and show the charge made against the chief to be false. Attorney John Jenswold, who is appearing for Chief Black, says that the assertion that his client received $25 fiom John Barrett of Barrett & Zlinmeiman, horse dealers, after Black, as alleged, was called to the barn by telephone, Is false, and that no such transactions ever ^oc- curred at that place will be proved beyond a doubt. He said that the prosecution of prac tically all the charges against Black is spite work and of a political nature. "Mr. Zlinmeiman of Barrett & Zimmerman read an account of the hearing," said Mr. Jens "and I have In my hands a telegram from him in which he says the incident testified to, In effect that Barrett handed Black $25, is an unmitigated lie, and we expect to prove it so. I cannot understand why the firm's book Jteepejr should make statements. Will Disprove All Charges. "We shall show in a general way that the prosecution of this case is spite work, and the political phase of the matter may be developed. We are glad that exhaustive reports of the testimony have been published, for they have recalled to many people incidents that the chief had forgotten. The result has been that witnesses have come forward and volunteered to tell what they know. "Our evidence in regard to the charge that Chief Black and Secretary Wilson drew relief .money and pay at the same time will be a sat isfactory explanation, I think, that there was nothing wrong in connection with the matter. "Chief Black will testify on direct examina tion and will be cross-examined. Other wit nesses will be summoned in rebuttal of the charges, and what is left of the charges against Mr. Black wlU be annihilated."

In behalf of this plan it Is argued* that with the aid of locks and dams the stage of the rlyer could be kept at a normal point, such as is the case in thewas Mississippi river.

The board has positively refused to consider any other location in and about Stillwater, and there seemed "to be an attitude on the part of some members to drop all negotiations fqr a site till after the next legislature meets, with the expectation that ariangements would be made to have the new prison coastmeted elsewhere. The city committee, however, after a long discussion with members of the board, succeeded in oberalthe taining a definite proposition, which is to take In all, the required land and the railroad right of-way. The deeds must be ready within ten days. It they are not forthcoming, all further consideration of the Oak Park site will be dropped.

We ask you againmay we buy you a bottle to try You who are sick and discouragedyou need it most. You who are treating germ diseases with remedies which Have no effect on germs. A new remedy for such troubles has been created frqm gas, and millions have already used it. Countless cured onesscattered everywhereknow that Liquozone made them well Won't you now let us show you away to be one of them?r The virtues of Iiiquozone are de rived solely from gases, created from five substances, all of which are stated on the- bottle. These sub stances include the best producers of oxygen, sulphur dioxide and other ger micidal "gases. The process of making requires large apparatus, and from 8 to 14 days' time and it is directed by chemists of the highest class. The object is to so fix combine the gases as to carry their virtues into the system. The re sult is a blending xi gas-made products, each ot which is now indorsed, as a remedial abent, by the world's highest authorities: The gases are harmless, and' the* product they create is harmless. The gases are beneficial, and the result is tonic. The gases are germicidal, and uniting with the liquid multiplies their germ-killing power. Liquozone contains no alcohol, no opiates, no narcotics. Every virtue comes from gas alone. The invention of Liquozone has mgant away to utilize gases in the treatment "of germ* dis eases. Kills Disease Germs: The main value of Liquozone lies in the fact that I is deadly to germs, yet i BEDFORD, IOWA.A remarkable story of an/are effort to compel a husband to give up bis wife told in the trial of the state against James Hendrickson, charged with the murder of James Woodside, now in progress. The defendant's own testimony was most startling, as he deof clared Woodside persisted in wanting to buy his wife. It is said Hendrickson killed Woodside be cause of this persistent attempt to secure bis wife. The defense in the case is that the man who was killed, after despoiling Hendrickson's home by winning the affections of the woman, taunted and hounded him to such an extent that he became insane ard in that condition com mitted the crime.

CASS LAKE, MINN.At Bemidji, last Satur day, James Amos Martin ofi Wilton was brought before Justice Pendergast on complaint of Game Warden Rutledge, to answer the charge of hav ing in his possession part of the carcass and the hide of a deer, out of season. The arrest and trial of Martin was the outcome of a re cent case against George Bess, who was ar rested on a similar charge, Dec. 29. Martin was wanted by the state as a witness in the Bess case, but he left for parts unknown and avoided service of the subpena. The state was compelled to dismiss the charge against Bess, as Martin's testimony waa necessary to establish a case Martin's trial Saturday was a long one. The Jury remained out seven finally reporting a disagreement. It was discharged, and the case will be brought up again today. A belated wedding present has been sent to Mrs. Nicholas Longworth from Grand Rapids, Minn. It is a magnificently mounted deer head. It is from John C.

Th Virtue Of Liquozone is Best Told by a Testand the Test is Free. Won?t You Learn What it Means to You Let us show you what helpful to bodily tissues. It is a germicide so certain that we publish with every bottle an offer of $1,000 fo,r the discovery of a disease germ which Liquozone cannot kill. Common germicides are poisons which cannot be taken internally. They de stroy the tissues as well as the germs. That is why medicine has proved so helpless in dealing with germ diseases. Liquozone is not only harmless, but it is a tonic. Its effects are exhilarat ing, vitalizing, purifying. Its benefits are quickly apparent-*-often from the very first dosei The fact that Liquozone is so decludes structive to germs is attributed to theof fact that germs are of vegetable ori gin. They apparently absorb this gas made product, and it ends "their activ ity. But the cells of the bodybeing animalthrive by Liquozone. We Paid $100,000 For the American rights to Liquozone, after its power had been demonstrated. This was after the product had beep tested for^years^ in hundreds of cases, including jmany. of the most difficult diseases of mankiiid. At first the re sults seemed incredible, and" the testB were repeated again and again to con- i^Mf4$"'fectedl. SPEAKS WELL OF STILLWATER PEN $*''" J, C*V *i MICHIGAN OFFICIAL SAYS GOOD WORD FOR PRISON.." New Warden at Jackson Finds Dis cipline at Minnesota Penal Inatitu "tion as Good as That in Any He In spected in Four States, and Explains the Operations of Binding Twine Factory. Special to The Journal. Marquette, Mich., Feb. 26."Down in the par of the state the Impression pre vails many people that the Marquette prison is governed with *rod pf lron,\ and that the of the institution are without .priv of any kind," said Av &. Armstrong, of Cassppolls, in an interview ljere. Mr. Armstrong is the newly appointed warden of the state prison at Jackson and with his visit here con cluded a tour of various penitentiaries in differ ent states to gather knowledge of the methods employed in the government of the convicts and the general administration of penal affairs. "I confess that at the termination of a two days' inspection of the Marquette prison, among all penal Institutions visited by me in sev weeks' travel, during which time I covered a territory extending over three states besides Michigan, I did not find one where I considered the discipline better than that maintained here. I only wish that those of our citizens in the lower part of the state who have been most ac tive in branding the discipline at Marquette as harsh and cruel, could have the opportunity of visiting the prison. There would be a radical change of front, and they would go away as I baye, with everything to commend In this re spect. Good Word for Stillwater, "I think the discipline at Stillwater Is as good as that In any penitentiary I visited in the states of Indiana, Illinois or Minnesota, but it is no better than at Marquette. The men at Stillwater work ten hours a day on a binding twine contract, the product being sold to the farmers of the state at a price 2 cents a pound less than the trust charges for the same grade of twine. Of ooure the employment of men In the manufacture of an article in com petition with a trust is popular, and the Still water Institution finds a ready market for itsATLANTIC entire output. The convicts receive no part of the revenue derived from the sale of the twine, and the reason -why the discipline there is so good Is because men who labor ten Hours as hard as they do, are ready for bed at the end of the day and do not have time for mis chief. "However, I am free to say that Michigan prisons are doing more to reclaim the men and make them, better citltens when they are finally released upon society than the penal Institu tions of any of the states I visited. After care ful inquiry Into the system of government In force here, I am able to trace the origin of good discipline, which Instead of being harsh, Is firm WC kindly."

Mahoney has filed an appeal from the assessment of the county board with the county clerk, who In turn will notify the state tax commission of the action of the city. A date for hearing will be set later, at which the county and city attorneys will present their views in the case. In the appeal, charges made that real and personal property in the county of La Crosse, outside the city, is not assessed at its full valuation, that cattle, farm machinery and other valuables are not assessed. Several other allegations, some of which are a serious nature, a*c made in the appeal. Crying for attention, a sick baby in the home of N.

When the power of the produot was thus proved beyond ques tion, we purchased the rights and brought it into wider fields. Since then we have let every sick one we learned of test it at our exLiquozone pense. The result is that millions have learned by experience some things that Liquozone can do. Most of the cured told others, and the others told others. The result is that about 12,000,000 bot tles of Liquozone have been used, most ly in the past two years. There is how almost "no hamletno neighborhood without living examples of its power. Now other chemists and companies, in alliance with us, are supplying it to other nations. It is hoped, before long, that every nook of the world Where sickness exists will have Liquozone there to combat it. Germ Diseases. In the past few years, scores of dis eases have been traced to germ attacks. All of these diseases, until a few years ago, were attributed to other causes, and treated in various and ineffective ways. 5 The list of known germ diseases now numbers about one nundred. It in most of our minor ills, and most our serious sickness. And there are very few diseases which are known not to be due, directly or indirectly, to a germ infection.
