Thank. Heaven Flora is the wife of
Walter Garland, at last! How long I
have prayed that It might be so!" was
the exclamation of good Mrs. Hall. as
she leaned back in her soft, cushioned
chair and saw the simple bridal cortege
OF her niece wind up the smooth car
riage-way to the house.
There were honest tears in her pleas
an, blue eyes, as she spoke; and little
look of pride upon her comedy face, as
she listened 20 the flutter and excitement
Join il, il was true (she had been con-
fined to her rooom for three whole
weeks with the rheumatism); but then
her heart was in every plan that cen
tered about the realization of her niece's
happiness. AS she wiped her eyes. and
BENT her head angrily forward, the door
OF the pariOr was thrown open, and the
next moment the young couple were
kneeling before her, craving her bless
ing and-foTgiveness!

injured me, and 1 have nothing to for

little stratagem which has brought about
so great a happiness to us both was first
suggested by her. How well l have
played my part in it. you already know,
dear madam; but beseech you to let me
be all to you as Walter Maitland that

Airs. Hall fell back white and breath
less in her chair, in what some people
said after the little story got about, was
a fainting fit. and others said was fiji Of
pique. At any rate, she didn't quite find
! her senses for three or four dave. and
then she was heard to express a very de-
cided opinion in regard to humbugs

Two women claiming Davenport as

is IT A TRIFLE?


That Common Trouble, Sour Stomach Now
Known to be the Source of Serious
Dissases.
s.Sour stomach" is the common
name for acid dyspepsia. and because
it is a common everyday trouble with
many people, they have come to look
upon 1t as Of little consequence, as
affecting the general health. Never
theless. the most serious diseases
have their beginning from this very
condition. 1t is caused in the first
place from weakness of the stomach,
which instead of promptly digesting
and Opposing of the food. allows it to
lie in the stomach for hours ferment-
ing. causing gas. sour rising in the
mouth, heart burn. headaches, op.
precision. dependency, dullness, etc
The blood is thin, impure, and
circulation poor simply because it is
replenished from this mass of fer
menting. half digested food. This
condition of the stomach cannot con-
tinue very long without deranging
the nervous system. the kidneys,
heart, liver or lungs. Which ever is
weakest will break down first.
Pure blood, strong nerves and
muscles. firm, healthy flesh can only
come from wholesome food well di-
gested. BLOOD purifiers" and '.nerve
tonics" do not reach the cause OF the
mischief. The stomach is the point
to be looked after. The safest and
surest way to cure any form Of indi-
gestion is to take after each meal
some harmless preparation which
will Of itself digest food. There is
an excellent preparation Of this kind
composed Of vegetable essences, pure
pepsin, Golden Seal and fruit salts,
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and these
tablets taken after meals assist di-
gestion wonderfully because they
will digest the food promptly. before
it has time to ferment and sour and
the weak stomach relieved and as
sisted in this way soon becomes
strong and vigorous again.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are su-
perior to any secret patent medicines
because you know what you are tax
ing into your stomach. They are
sold by druggists everywhere at so
cents per package.

There is no doubt but the com pie

the business men Of Davenport have

sired for years, and now that it is with.

citizens of Davenport do not propose
to see the prize for which they have
yearned swept away by the ebstruc-
tive tactics of rival corporation.
Until the present difficulty arose,
it had been supposed that the lower
bridge was as much of Rock Island

entirely beneficial to Davenport.
While as q matter of fact all the sub

fully acquiesced in extending every
encouragement as Davenport has,
and this city does not feel at thi.
time disposed to take up quarrel
between two corporations which has
been taken into the courts. to be de
cided purely on its legal status. The
bridge company has always been en-.
Outraged here, and should be, al
though it is doubtful if, Judging
from the experiences of the past
Davenport would show the same
friendly spirit toward an enterprise
fathered exclusively by capital from
this side of the river. Rock Island
however, has never been clanish in
matters of this kind. 1t wants the

unmindful of possessing some adj
