For the fall and winter fashions, ribbons
are holding an important place. They are
used in all styles and are lavishly arranged
on the most elaborate toilet or added as a
finishing touch to the simplest gown. For
foot trimmings a pretty idea is to nse them
in platings three rows in depth, and as an
interlacing on the edge Of a gown they are
effective. Plain satin ribbon will be used

SUMMARY
A Wnsnish Sting.

What some wag erms 1.-THE business end of
a wasp" stings with scarcely more scuteness
than the acid errrt stions of gas from the
stomach to the gullet lat are characterized as
heartburn. Never was here case of indiges-
tiOn without this SYMPTOM. Both cause and
effect are removable by the fine carminative
tonic Hostetter's stomach Bitters, which con-
fer regularity and vigor upon disorcered and
enfeeDied stomach with certainty and des-
patcn. Besides checking the pranks of of a re
bellious stomach, the Bitters wakes up dor
mant liver and causes the bowels to act like
clock work. An immense reputation has also
been won by this professionally approved med
icine as a means of eradicating and preventing
malarial trouble, and counteracting tendency
to rheumatism and kidney complaints. Neu
ralgia and nervousness are also remedied by it.

THAT INVESTIGATION.

Some Hints offered to the Grand Jury
About the Supervisors.
The members OF the board of supervis-
ors seem to be staying awake nights for
fear the district attorney will not have
the grand jury investigate some of the
contracts they have awarded, and come
of the transactions which perusal of
the minutes of these proceedings will
unearth. This apprehension, it is to be
hoped, will prove fruitful. 1t is earnest
ly desired that the grand jury will in
vestigate all of the contracts the board
of supervisors have made, and more par
ticularly those regarding gas and steam
fitting in the court house.
But it is also desired that the grand
jury should investigate the great register
printing contract which the county
clerk, Mr.. Ward, 30 generously gave to
the Evening Express company at 23
cents per name, the price fixed by the
contracts for printing which Mr.. Ward
has given out that might also be looked
into. Take, for instance, the contract
voted at the coming election. Also the
COhOuS1 iOt UuO ClCCblOu ne
which will be used at that election.
1t so happens, however, that one
member of the board, who could pos
sibly throw some light on these printing
contracts, is absent from the state at
this time, and the date of his return is
uncertain, and the investigation could
hardly be expected to be complete
without his evidence.
Inasmuch as the board of supervisors
is demanding grand jury investigation
of that clock transaction, the HERALD
would suggest that L. M. Wagner, the
jeweler, be subp9naed to testify. Mr..
Wagner states that for the eum of SIPS,
which the board has paid for the clocks
that are to be put in the court house, a
fine Howard tower clock movement
conld have been secured, which would
strike every quarter OF an hour. In ad-
dition, he adds that for 5000 four elegant
disls could be secured, with raised
figures, by th8eide of which the dials
now in the courthouse tower would look
very common. As the board is desirous
of grand jury investigation, the HER
AID merely drops these few suggestions
to further that end.
