STRANGE CUSTOMS.

The subject races early learned the
Spanish language from their con-
querors, and for 200 years or more 1t
has been the common tongue OF the
southwestern peoples speaking various
languages. Even Americans in many
parts of the southwest are forced to
learn 1t in order to facilitate their
affairs. The work of the Catholic
church and the tenaclty of the Mexi-
cans have kept the castillian pre-
dominant even under American rule.
The pyramid dwellers, therefore,
learn Spanish for communication
with the outside world and retain
their own ancient tongue for home
life. Few of them know any English.
Every new born babe is baptized by
the Catholic priest and chrlstened
with Spanish name. except In a
few cases in which French priests,

AFTERNOON SESSION.


When the convention reconvened
some time was taken up in discussing
the question whether to allow book
agents in the room while the body was
discussing the merits OF the different
systems. Finally a motion TO exclude
all agents carried without dissent, and
a general exodus of agents followed.
1t was then decided TO take up the
subject of geography and Superintend-
ent Oldham promptly moved the adop-
ton of Frye's geography. Two things
were to be taken into consideration
price and quality. He maintained that
in both of these important points the
book presented in behalf of the Frye
system was the most favorable.
superintendent Christensen moved as
an amendment the adoption OF Wer-
ner'S system of Biographies.
A parliamentary wrangle followed as
to the proDriety of considering Chris
tensen's motion as an amendment. This
was finally settled by establishing a
rule that the systems be placed in NOM
nation as though a candidate were TO
be placed before the convention.
superintendent Oldham and Chris
Jensen then promptly repeated their
motions. and Miller followed suit by
nominating the Rand, McNally sys-

Superintendent Van Colt desired to
have all the books discussed, and there
fore moved that all the systems for
which bids had been submitted be con-
sidered in nomination before the con-
vention.

Mrs. Johnson of Piute said Appleton's

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA
A New Remedy winch Will DO I

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by
| many people to be nearly if not quite
| incurable. No good reason can be given
why they think so except that perhaps
| they have tried various remedies with
out much, if any benefit. But the pro-
gress in every branch of medicine has
been such that among other things a
lasting cure for indigestion in it's
chronic form as well as temporary has
been discovered and is now placed be-
fore the public strictly on its mereitS as
permanent cure for all stomach
troubles or difficulties with the digestive
organs.
This new treatment is called Stuart 8
Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in tab
let form so as to be easily taken and
also 10 preserve its good qualities for an
indefinite length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising
effects in the worst forms Of Indigestion,
and in many cases where ordinary rem
edies failed 20 give even relief, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets have fully cured.
The splendid results from using this
preparation are owing TO the fact that
il IS prepared and intended for DYSPEPSIA
a cure-al like SO many advertised rem
edies, claiming TO cure everything under
The sun, but il is claimed that ii is
certain cure for Dyspepsia and any one
suffering from any form Of indigestion
cannot fail TO get permanent relief and
cure from its use.
Il is 50 prepared and the ingredients
are Of such nature that when the tab
lets are taken into the Stomach they
digest the food no matter whether the
stomach is in good working order or
not. You get sustenance and strength
to mind and body by reason Of the food
being properly digested and a. the same
time the much abused stomach is allow
