for maliciously assaulting an old negro

The prisoners were scattered about on

"Just look around you, old man" said
the recorder, "and seq II you can recognize
any of the men who struck YOU"

ROUSING MEETING.


Much Enthusiasm Mt Democratic Club
Last Night.
One Of the most successful meetings In
the history of the Democratic Club OF this

In Huot's block. About sixty members
responded to the call of the committee,
and IL the expressions of confidence heard
from the different members is criterion

Democratic success In the coming election
Is very gratifying. The members present
were from different parts OF the city, and
the reports made indicated a renewed in
terest on the part of the Democracy to put
mp the fight OF their lives.
President Peter German occupied the
chair and upon opening the meeting said
that the sight Of so many young and
vigorous Democrats present was pleasing
sight to him. The fault in the past, said
Mr.. German, with the success of the party,
was the fact that the younger element did

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases 30 obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to be q radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness in
never being humbugged, especially ON
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may bo
carried too far; 30 far, In fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak digestion

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly
different In one important respect from
ord nary propr etary m sdicin. for the rea
reason that they not a secret pabent medi-
cine, no secret Is made OF their ingredients,
but analysis shows them to contain the
natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic
pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal,
bismuth bydratis and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerfully
on any organ, but they cure indigestion on
the common sense plan OF digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before 1t has time to
ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This
is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble Is really In the
stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
to It, Food not digested or half digested
Is poison as 1t creates gas, acidity, head
acnes, palpitation Of the heart, loss of
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other name.

FLAG DAY EXERCISES.

Interesting Programs Will Be Given in
All the Schools.
Arrangements for the observance of Flag
Day are about completed, and the exer-
cises this year will be on a more extensive
scale than in former years. Patriotism,
and its bearing upon past events of i'm
portance, is beginning to receive due at
tention from the instructors of the pres
ent time, and its after effects will bear
good fruit. Comrades from Ballou Post
will visit each school, and give short ac-
counts of the stirring happenings of the
late war. These pictured descriptions will
prove interesting to the rising youth and
inspire in their young hearts q reverence
for their National emblem. Elaborate
musical programs have been prepared for
the occasion.
