A meeting was held today by the Busineea Men's Improvement league of Madison and It was decided to continue the fight vigor- oualy. Resolutions condemning tho action f the pallre In defending and assisting the pool room gambler and "provoking hos tilities" were adopted. A decision waa reached to lay the entire matter before the grand Jury and to also take It up directly with the attorney general of Illinois with the purpose of putting a atop, in a legal way, to the official connivance under which the pool room has been run. The four member of the cltlsena' posse who were arrtatt-d on oharge of breach of the peace hav been released on bond. It now definitely - stated that th wounded. number alx.

The police began today to dtarm all members of tho porss whom they could find. It was stated by members of the poaae that the police were even entering the houses of the posse members and con ducting their search for arms there. It I declared If necessary the cltlsena would find the mean to arm themselves again.

After giving bond the men atarted for the pool room, but Schuler declined to utate whether or not they would open for business this afternoon. The faot that the warrants were issued ten day ago by Me Cambridge and that no apparent effort had been made to serve them caused con aldrable comment In Madlaon. when It be came known. Graham exhibited a bullet hole In hla hat. which he aald waa made by a ahot fired by a posseman. It was half an hour later than the usual opening hour when the party reached th pool room, which they Immediately pre pared for the erowd that came on the II llnola Central train. Aa the 108 St. Louis men, most of them regular visitor to the place, entered, they were greeted by Graham, who Joked with them about "yeaterday's battle." On of the employe marked up the en trie and the odda on the first races, and immediately the money began to flow Into th coffers of tha pool room.

So far everything waa running aa usual except that additional seat was given the afternoon sport by the relstlng of lncldonts of the afternoon before.

Explodot tt Beinlt af Odliiirn of Trail v ACCIDENT NEAR THE IUCIN CUT-OFF Of the Forty-Riant People at Jackson Station, ttah, Only Sin Escape Death or Injory. OGDKN. Utah, Feb. . -Twenty-five per sona hav been killed, fifteen Injured, sev eral, it Is believed, fatally, and a great amount of railroad property destroyed by an explosion of a carload of dynamite at Jackaon, a telegraph atatlon on the west ern end of the great Ogden-Lucln cut off of the Southern Pacific railroad. The explosion waa caused by a collision between two freight trains, due, it Is aald, to the failure of the air brake apparatus to work. Eight of the dead and five of the Injured are Americana; the othera are Greek laborers, The dead: T. W. Dt'RKEE. section foreman. MRS. W. T. PTHKEE. THREE DT'RKEE CHILDREN. J. W. Bl'RKE, a former general fore man. W. T. HOLLER, messenger, formerly of Andrew, Ind. 1 OWEN DERMODT, conductor, formerly of Beaver Dam, Wis. SEVENTEEN GREEK I.ARORER9. The Injured: Engineer Ielna, slight. Conductor Courtney, slight. Engineer 8tanton, slight. Operator Taylor and wife, injured about face nnd body. Ten Greek laborers, all seriously injured. The explosion following the collision be tween the two trains, which met head-on almost In front of the telegraph station, was terrific. Everything within a radius of half a mile was wrecked. Effect of Explosion Widely Felt. The town of Terrace, fifteen miles north, was shaken as though by an earthquake. Window pane at Colon, fifteen mile away, were ahattered, and the noise waa heard In this city, eighty-one miles away. The ground on which the trains were standing was torn up for over 1,000 feet, leaving a great excavation thirty feet In depth. Fragments of a doaen freight cars and two engines were thrown for incredi ble distances over the surrounding country, the atatlon building waa blown to splinters and the dead and Injured were scattered for hundreds of feet In all directions, most of them having their clothing torn off. Telegraph wires and poles were torn down for 1,000 feet, and tho first knowledge of tho disaster came from Terrace, fifteen mile away, tho operator at that point re porting to headquarters that he saw an Im mense cloud of white smoke nscend from Jackson and spread out at a great height. A relief train with doctnra and atretchers Waa quickly dispatched from this city. The train returned with the injured, who were placed In tho company's general hos pital. The great loss of, life among the Greeks is accounted for by the fact that they oc cupied outfitting cars which were standing near the spot where the explosion occurred. Of the forty-six person at Jackson at th time of the explosion, only nine es caped dooth or injury. The great railroad trestle over th lake waa not damaged, tha explosion occurring a short distance beyond the wetiern end of that structure. PENNSYLVANIA KUAD HAS WRECK.

Wheat for May de livery today sold at 11.07 a buthel, a gain of 4 cent over last night's rlo.-.e. The mar ket wo extremely active and th volume of trading waa of enormous proportions. The significant advance was due largely to the anxiety of shorts, who were afraid to maintain open trades over a two days' re cess of the board. Th pit was the center of upror- and clamor, which never ceased or abated from the opening of the seaslon until the gong announced its c'ose. In one respect .today was unlike any previous day since the ex citement over the Ruaso-Japancse war be gan. There were no varying degrees of In tensity in the excitement which reigned, and the nerves of every trader were at the highest tnslon every minute of the session. The advance was Irresistible. Armour, who for months has been the almost undisputed monarch of the wheat pit, sold million of hushels of the grain, but for every bushel ofTt-red there were two demanded by the traders or outside bidders. Imbued with a desire to buy, that was little If anything less than frantic. The market hoslloleil somewhat at the outset and a moment of calm prevailed, but suddenly a buying wave struck tho pit. It fairly swept brokers off their faet. By leaps and bound the May price, which slipped from $1.04 at the open ing to J1.U2S, went soaring to fl.07, or over 4 cents above the close last night. Pandemonium accompanied the advance. Brokers rushed madly back and forth be tween the pit and te'egraph counters, with their hands full of orders. These, because of the excited state of the markt," It was almost lroposKlble to fill. The crowds which packed the visitors' gallery were daaed by the wild scenes that were being enacted on the floor below, not only In the wheat pit, where hundreda of trailers, with arms wav ing above their heads, straggled and fought to buy or sell, but over in the corn and provUtlon pita all waa excitement. wl;h price cllmnlng.

We are spending half a million dollars upending it at the rate of $4,000 per day to buy the first bottle of Liquozone for each sick one who gays "I want it."

Our reason is this: Thousands of peo ple whom Lltjuoeone could save are dy ing today without It. Hundreds of thou sands are helpless and sick, simply for the lack of Liquozone. We cannot, under conditions like those, wait to convinco the sick ones by argument. Any slow method ft Introducing Liquo zone would seem almost a crime, know ing what we do of this product.

VETERANS NEVER AT WAR Soldiers Who. Did 7fot Reach the Front Who Are Drawing; Pension. The apotheeaia of the penalon business wa reached recently in Wathlngton with an award to a member of the Metropoli tan rifles, who waa newr a it ember of the army or navy of the United Statea, regular or volunteer. There haa never been a question aa to the title of veteran of actual war, civil, Mexican or Bpanlsh-Amcrlcan, who were at the front and In actual battle, wounded ond rendt-red holr'css and dependent, to receive the bounty of tho eorrrnment. These conditions have been broadened of late years. Men who guarded prisoner In the aafe seeluHion of Johrson'a Island, men who served bravely In the home guards, men who made the rallrcad trip to the capital and loitered behind the ' fortifica tions for thirty or sixty days to rollev soldiers who were needed at the firing line, all those have been granted pensions to a Acts Like Oxygen The virtue of Liquozone lies in the fact that It does what oxygen does. Oxygen is the vital part of air. It is Nature's greatest tonic, the very source of vitality, tha most essential element of life. It is oxygen Uiat turns tho blue, blood to red in the lungs. It is oxygen that elimi nates the waste tissue and builds up the new. Every function of life so depends on it that we could not live three min utes without it But oxygen is a gas, and unstable. We cannot get an excess into the blood to re main there. Liquozone is a liquid, with all Its virtues in permnispnt form and concentrated. It does what an excess of oxygen would do. One result Is that Liquozone acts as a tonic with which no other known product can compare. Kills Inside Germs But the most Important fact la that oxygen is also a germicide. No germs can eslst In the presence of an excess of oxygen. The reason is that germs are vegetables: ond an excess of oxygen the very life of an animal Is deadly to vegetal matter. And so with Liquozone. It is so certain that we publish on every bottle an offer of $1.X) for a disease germ that It can not kill. Yet it is not only harmless, but of the utmost benefit, to the cells of the human body. This is the fact which gives to Llquo tone its remarkable value. It solves the great problem of killing germs in the body without killing the tlntues, too. And there is no other way to do it. Any drug that kills germs is a poison, and it can not be taken internally. For that rea son, medicine Is practically helpless in any germ dlsense. Liquozone, taken Internally, goes wher ever the blood goes; and as no germ can escape It, and none can resist it, the re sults are inevitable. A germ disease must end when the germs are destroyed; H 0I3AIIA STORE F i ai r u i I nothing is more certain than that. And medicine for years.
