ful Wrangle with His Family.
Trenton, June People residing in
the neighborhood Of ex-Mayor Frank
A. MagOwan's colonial mansion were
awakened about midnight Saturday by
a disturbance in which the ex-mayor
his two boys and a policeman were the
central figures. Mrs. Mcgowan and her
children live next door to the house
occupied by the eX-mayor and Mrs.
Barnes. 1t is claimed that Saturday
night Mcgowan and Mrs Barnes
walked an unusual number of times
past the house where Mrs Mcgowan
and her children reside. The boys be-
lieved it was done with the deliberate
purpose of annoying their mother. They
began to shout at Mcgowan and told
him to take Mrs Barnes into the house,
and it is said made uncomplimentary
remarks about her.
Mcgowan walked into the yard of
his former wifes house after the boys,
and they ran into the house. Meanwhile
Mrs. Mcgowan sent for a policeman
and ordered the arrest of the ex-
mayor. The latter ordered the police
man to arrest the boys, but the police
man declined to do either without a
warrant The matter was soon quieted
down by Mcgowan leaving. There has
been some talk about warrants being
issued. but at police headquarters this
mornin.: 1t was said no steps had been
taken al yet by either side.

DANGER IN SODA.

Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen land for cooking
and washing purposes) but it was never in.
tended for medicine, and people who use II
as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda TO re-
lieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with danger
moreover the soda only gives temporary re-
lief and in the end the stomach trouble get,
worse and worse
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant tc
the walls Of the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where it accumulated in
the intestines, cousing death by Inflammation
or peritouitis
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by
druggists under the name Of Stuarts Dys,
pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 2C
grains lozenges, very pleasant to taste and
contain the natural acids peptones and di-
gestive elements essential to good digestion
and when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before it has
time to ferment sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of
stomach arrangements and finds them GER
tain cure not only for stomach, but by
promptly digesting the food they create a
healthy appetite, increase flesh and strength
en- the action Of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartio, but intended only for
stomach diseases and weaknesses and will be
found reliable in any stomach trouble except
cancer Of the stomach.

lets at 80 cents per package.

BAND CONTEST.
RecapitulatiOn of Prizes, Preliminary
Concert and so Forth.


Concert and so Forth.
The Band tournament continues to
attract the attention of the outside
public, and country papers that come
in to the committee indicate that the
livlieSt possible interest is being ia
ken. not only by the bands, but by
their friends in the different towns.
Many cities a long way up on the l
* @. n, even as far as Palestine, have
arranged for excursions, numbering
even more than one hundred people to
accompany them and assist i'll making
things lively in the celebration of
San Jacinto day. Considering the
distance and the number. of places at
| which celebrations are being held, this
is Il splendid indication of the value
of the band tournament 10 the Battle
! of Flowers.
The program, so far it has been
arranged. will embrace a reception in
! the shape of a musical compliment to
! the bands which arrive on the even
! ing of the Goth. 1t will be remem-
bered that all the bands on the Aran-
saS Pass road are required to come
on the regular trains on the Goth.
| Usually there is no excitement pre-
ceding the day set aside for the festiy-
| tiles, but by giving the citizens taste
of the musical program on the evening
preceding it is thought that greater
support and more interest will be
| manifested in the celebration itself.
Upon the arrival of the first trains in
the morning bringing in the bands.
and as soon as the musicians can be
refreshed the tournament will begin
and the contest of music will be rem
derpd from the pavilion on Alamo
plaza.
The number of entries already made
and the communications from bands
not already entered enables the COM
mittec to count on at least fifteen
bands to participate in the contest.
This will require at least four hours,
including the cOrnet solo contest.
The prizes already create a great deal
more interest in the contest, as they
give the visiting bands n greater OPP
pOrtunity to get something IN audl-
ton to the cash prizes aggregatlnS
$50 offered by the ladies of the FloWer
Battle, the special prizes having DeeI
added to by an elegant cornet ana gu
in gold. :,
