MITCHELL MEN HAVE GONE
Senatorial and Legislative Situation in
Oregon Still Situates.

Salem, Ore. Feb. Ex-senator Mitchell
has abandoned the fight for reelection
to the United States senate. as the joint
convention has adjourned. His support
ers have gone home, claiming that the
legislature adjourned sine die.
Both the senate and the temporary
house are left without a quorum, but
measures to perfect organization are
now under way. Attempts al reorgan-
ization will be confined largely TO the
house. When it is ready for business it
is anticipated that there will be very lit
tie trouble in getting back enough SEN
stors TO make UP a quorum of twenty.
There have been many expressions
from members of the late Benson house
that they are now ready to go in for
any organization on any reasonable
basis and the project to make up a
quorum is likely to succeed.
The senate will meet from day to day
until the house succeeds or fails.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CURE FOR 1T.
Not a Patent Cure-aiI, Nor a Modern Mira
Gle, but simply Rational Cure for Dys-
pepsia.

In these days Of humbuggery and de-
ception, the manufacturers of patent
medicines, as rule seem 10 think their
medicines VIII not sell unless they claim
that il will cure every disease under the
sun. And they never think Of leaving
out dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
| They are sure TO claim that their nos
| trum is absolutely certain 10 cure every
dyspeptic and he need lock no further
In the face of these absurd claims IL is
refreshing TO note that the proprietors
! OF Stuart's Dyspeptic Tablets have care
| fully refrained from making any undue
! claims or false representations regard
| ing the merits of this most excellent
remedy for dyspepsia and stomach trou-
bles. They make but one claim for it,
ard that is, that for indigestion and va
rious stomach troubles Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets is radical cure. They go
no farther than this and any man or
woman suffering from Indigestion,
chronic or nervous dyspepsia, who will
give the remedy a trial will find that
nothing is claimed for it, that the facts
Will not fully sustain.
1t is a modern discovery, composed Of
harmless vegetable ingredients accepta-
he to the weakest or most delicate stom-
ach. It's great success in curing stom-
ach troubles is due TO the fact that the
medical properties are such that it viii

ken into the stomach, no matter whether
the stomach is IN good working order or
not 1t rests the overworked organ and
replenishes the body, the blood, the
nerves, creating healthy appetite, gives
refreshing sleep and the blessings which
always accompany a good digestion and
proper assimilation OF food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting is required. Simply eat plen-
ty OF wholesome food and take these
Tablets al each meal, thus assisting and
resting the stomach, which rapidly re-
gains its proper digestive power, when
the Tablets will be no longer required.
Nervous Dyspepsia is simply d condi-
ton in which some portion or portions
Of the nervous system are not properly
nourished. Good digestion invigorates
the nervous system and every organ in
the body.
Stu2rt's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
all druggists at so cents per package.
