Unconstitutional

The habeas corpus case of George Reed,
the man charged with having violated a
county ordinance in selling sewing ma
chimes without license, came up yester-
day afternoon in department one. Since
the United States court decided that the
case presented no point under United
States law, the contention is that there is
discrimination in the ordinance against
sewing machine agents, and one form OF
industry cannot be taxed unless all. forms
are taxed. This is the point which is now
being heard.

Dole Identified

Matters continue to look dark for E. j.
Dole, the young lawyer, now in the city
prison on charge of forgery. He was yes
terday visited in his cell by A. ]. Crook
shank, president of the Santa Ana Ex-
change bank, who, it is said, positively
identified him as the man to whom the
check was issued. While the police au-
thorities refuse to affirm the statement
that Dole has been ascertained to be the
man, they claim that case is now clear,
and that conviction is assured.

MIR. Ferry Is unusually hand,
some and his fine figure shows to
tincs' better advantage in Greei;ln
dress than as the Barbarian. In
the last act it is almost impossible
TO- believe that the princely Greek
has ever been the uncoutli savage.
lhese are some stirring lines in
"lngomar," and as usual they fell
with thrilling emphasis from Mr..
FsrrS's lips.
MIR: AEm"ry as Polydor, could
not have been surpassed.

A GREAT HARDSHIP. - Mr.

A GREAT HARDSHIP. - Mrs.
Amy Ann McMains was in town
with her witnesses Monday, for
the purpose Of making fual preof
-on her homestead, but failed to do
so, for the reason that 80 Of the
LOO acres upon which she expected
10 make proof, did not belong to
the government when the Receiv-
er's receipt was issued to her, nor
could she make proof on the re.
naming 50 acres, because her
homestead is on the tract to which
the government has no title. 1t
seems to Us that she should have
some recourse against the govern
ment for placing her in such a
false and embarrassing, rs we'll as
expensive position. She will eth.
er have to move her homestead to
the 50 acres to which the govern
uent has title and reside upon
it five years, before she Can make
final proof or rellnquish her claim
entirely, unless the Interior DE.
partmenJ and Congress should
specially relieve her of the oner-
ous conditions. This is . great
hardship, as Mrs. McMains is a
poor, defepseless and aged widow,
with a family dependent upon her
for support.

Don't think that because you

you relief that you cant be cured
There must be q cure for ven
some where. fyour doctor can't
cure yon, perhaps he has mistaken
the cause. Anybody is liable to
make mistake sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from
Indigestion, and one out of three
dyspeptics doesn't know it. That
is, l,e may know he is sick, but he
blames it to something else.
indigestion is the cause Of Ii ,lf
OF our dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made
from tonic medicinal roots ard
