Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form Of
Indigestion resulting from fern

mains until fermentation begins, filling
the stomach with gas, and a bitter
sour. burning taste in the mouth is Of

comes chronic and being an every day
occurrence is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
and it is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as a radical cure for ev-
cry form Of dyspepsia
Stllart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold

It win be learned with regret by all
friends of woman suffrage that the
amendment to the constitution of Cal
ifornia enfranchising women has been
defeated. TT seems to have lost on its

A magnificent campaign was made for
the amendment beginning early in the

probable that the state Of Kansas viii
be redistricted at the coming session Of
the legislature. This has not been done
before because neither party has had

forego the chance of obtaining a parti-

arrested two young fellows by the
name of Huston for using profane
language on the street. They were
brought before Esquire Reeves and
fined S1.00 and costs. They were in

drinks aboard, to make light of the
legal proceedings and in an Indifferent
manner gave the old song, "That they
would lay it out" 1t did not appear SO
light an affair when they found them
selves handcuffed together and taken
to the jail.
After night in Jail, they were in a
different mood to view their situation
and friend was sent for to come to
town and have them liberated.

pearance did not bear the resemblance
