Where Science ends and Com
mon Sense should rule. Persons
of sedentary habits are liable to
indigestion or dyspepsia. These,
in turn, will bring on nervous dis
orders, kidney complaints, con-
stipation, etc. This is especially
the case with merchants, students
and scientists. They will give you
the exact dimensions of Jupiter,
the distance from Saturn to the
sun, to a foot, but they cannot or
will not tell themselves what will
cure this train of disorders.
For ailments resulting from

PAY OF THE PEDAGOGUEs.
Tax Collectors Supposed 10 lie Hold
ing Back the Funds.

Atlanta, Ca. Nov. 16.-Gov. Atkinson
held a consultation with Treasurer Speer
to-day in regard to the payment of the
5000 public school teachers of the state
for the quarter ending oct. 1. The teach
ers want their money. and there is nor
enough in the treasury to pay them. Only
about $50, 600 of this years taxes has been
received by the treasurer, and this Is SO
small a part of the annual collections
that considerable amounts are supposed
to be held back by the collectors. Ii
seems that a custom prevails by which
banks make bond for tax collectors anC
as return favor the taxes collected arr
deposited with them Under the law, no
fl fas can be issued till Dec 90 and adj
vantage is often taken of this to hold the
taxes in banks in the counties in which
it is collected. If this money were
promptly RENTED, the teachers could be
paid, but as 1t Is, the banks get the benc
fit and the teachers have to wait.

MICCOsUKTE LAKE.
MIR Christie Lenses the Lake TO Pre-

vent Its Purchase by Gun Club.
Thomasvile Ga, Nov. 1.-THE state OF
Florida has leased to F'lavius Christie Of
Miccosukie Fla, the Miccosukie Lake.
This shuts out general hunting and fish
ing on the lake, which has afforded much
sport to thousands of people in the past.
The lake covers about 5000 acres and af-
fords the finest duck shooting and fishing
in season. 1t has been a favorite resort for
Thomasville sportsmen and will be great
ly missed by them Mr. Christie says it
was necessary for him to lease the lake to
prevent a Philadelphia gun club from buy
ing it. They had offered $1,000 for the
property, and the state was about to ac-
cept. If the Philadelphians had secured IL,
it would have been a close corporation, so
to speak, shutting out all home people,
while Mr.. Christie proposes to form To-
cal club to control and own the lease. Sew
eral efforts had been made to buy the lake
heretofore but the state refused to sell un-
less all the abutting land owners con-
sented. Their consent could never have
been gained as the lake privileges were
very valuble for sport as we'll as water
and pasturage for stock. 1t appears, how
ever, from what Mr.. Christie says, that
the policy Of the state officials had chang
ed and they were about to sell anyway.

SUIT OVER SHOES.

From Colorado.


From Colorado.
Washington, Nov. 16.-The supreme
court of the United States, by a divided
court to-day, affirmed the case of Hill
against Corcoran, from the supreme court
of Colorado. Hill was the United States
marshal for Colorado, and under a writ
of attachment issuing out of the United
States court, had seized a stock of boots
and shoes alleged to be the property of
the Bay State Shoe and Leather Company
of Boston, Mass. Corcoran, who was not
a party to the suit in the circuit court,
alleged that the goods in question be-
longed to him, and prayed the leave of
the circuit court to determine the ques-
ton of ownership in the state courts.
Such permission having been granted,
Corcoran sued Marshal Hill in the state
court, for the recovery of the goods or
the equivalent of their value. Hill went
to the supreme court of the state on the
ground that the state circuit courts had
no jurisdiction.
This contention was overruled by the
supreme court, and the case was appealed
to the supreme court of the United States
1t was twice argued here, and as the
decision was by a divided court only. the
question involved, that of joint iurisdic-
ton of state and federal courts over the
same subject matter, will likely come vi
again before great while for determina-
ton,
