Beware of Ointments for Catarri

as mercury will surely destroy, the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys-

used except on prescriptions from reputable

To CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an indianapolis
Gentleman

Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
STA. People having 1t think that their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve med
icine and spring remedies; the real
seat of the mischief is lost sight of :;
the stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness. Ner-
vous dyspepsia shows itself not in the
stomach so much as in nearly every
other organ; in some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular; in others
the kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accum-
ulatlon of gas, sour rIsings and heart
burn.
Mr.. A. W, Sharper, OF No. 81 Pros
poet St., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as
follows: "a motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines
regarding the new aud valuable medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1

nonsio "a Loaf hov yo
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable
result. They sometimes gave tempo
rary relief until the effects of the med
icine wore off. l attributed this to
my sedentary habits, being book
keeper with little physical exercise,
but am glad to state that the tablets
have overcome all these obstacles, for
have gained in flesh, sleep better and
am better in every way. The above is
written not for notoriety, but is based
on actual fact. Respectfully yours,

1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dps

Expected That the Special Com.
mittee Will Submit
It's Report.
EXPERTS ESTIMATE The THEME
Promises to Be Lively Meeting
the Council Make the Facts Public?
Price of New Plant.

The city council will hold tonight
what promises to be the most import
ant meeting of several months.
Unless the plans are changed the
special committee on purchasing the
Light and Water company's plant will
submit its report to council, The CON-
mittee has been at work for some time
Investigating the condition of the
plant and arriving at it's real value.
The expert employed by the city,
Mr.. Wilcox, submitted his report to
the special committee last week, and
it is expected that this report will be
read to council. AS previously pub
lished, Mr.. Wilcox's report estimates
the value of the plant at considerably
less than one-half the amount origi-
nally fixed by the bondholders as the
price.
This am aunt, 1t will be remembered
was 1926, GOO. The experts report will
make interesting reading. 1t also es-
Inmates that new plant, superior to
the Light and Waters plant when it
was new, can be put in by the CITY for
about 500, 900 less than the $225OOO
asked by the bOndhOlders.
It ia believed that the committee
will make some recommendation to
council tonight. in which event the
exact facts in the matter will become
public property and open to public
discussion. The people will have to
pass on the matter at the polls, and a
public discussion will bring out all
the features of the case.
Other important matters will be
introduced at tonights meeting, and
1t promises TO be lively session.

A LEGISLATIVE RESPONSIBILITY.

Now that the Stale Legislature has
entered upon its session for 1897, the
law.making body ana the public are
face to face with the important work
that falls to the legislative representa-
ives o! the people. One OF the
responsibilities that rests upon the
Legislature, and claims much public
attention because Of the public in
terests to be conserved thereby, ia the
election Of United States senator
the fret from this state who Is to enter
upon full term Of two years. The
Legislature being principally Demo-
cratic, thai party will have the
senator, and the matter Of the selection
ia party question. AS to much OF
the legislation that will be enacted for
the State, there probably Will be a
comparatively small amount OF party
Issues involved. But on the senator
ship the people have decreed by their
votes that it shall come from the
Democratic side, hence that political
party, through the members OF the
Legislature chosen from Its ranks, lie
to make and be responsible for the
selection. Upon this subject our morn
Ing contemporary, tho Herald, the chief
Democratic newspaper in the State,
made in its Sunday Issue some pointed
suggestions that wise representatives
Of its party will not pass over in haste,
since they indicate the high plane
which every great political organiza-
ton In a state should occupy In choos-
ing national representative. After
calling attention to tho date when
balloting for senator Will begin-on
Tuesday, January 19th-t0 the qualfi.
cations of the candidates ana the ma.
tional policy the successful one is ex.
pected to endorse, and to the efforts OF
the opposition party press TO dictate
who shall be chosen, the Herald Gays:
In making n selection the legislators
should and will give respectful hear
ing to the arguments urged by the
friends and supporters OF each candi-
dao, but let their decision be made
upon the merits of the candidates, their
records in the past, their capacity Tor
usefulness in the future. He Is the best
man for senator who will best serve
Utah in the Senate. The Legislature,
and no one else, viii have to say who
that man is. In arriving at their decis-
ion, let the Legislature consider every
question, and weigh all. 1t should be
borne in mind that the future is OF more
importance than he present; that today
soon becomes yesterday.
Ii is a grave responsibility that rests
upon the Democratic Legislature, but that
it Will be met as it should be no Demo-
crat doubts. The interests of the Demo-
cralioparty and tho 5 ate are greater than
the claims OF any candidate; they must
receive first consideration. When these
have been duly considered, let the Legis-
lature elect as United States senator that
man who will bost represent and forward
them. And whoever he may be,
united Democracy will stand behind him
and the Legislature that elected him and
hold up their hands.

INTRODUCING BILLS.


An amateur legislator is liable TO
think that the more bills he can Intro.
ducB the more he Is doing for the good
OF the commonwealth; whereas the
TACT is that the introducer OF many
bills is nearly always nuisance to
the body OF which he Ia a member.
Time and money are wasted in con.
sidering and printing his illusions,
which, on examination, often are dis
covered to be either useless or danger
ous.
