STATE HAS SOME POINTS
To- BE Considered in the Great West
ern Tax Question.

To- BE Considered in the Great West
ern Tax Question.
The case of the Great Western before
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission over the rate of tax they shall
pay upon their gross earnings promises
to be quite interesting when it is
as already published in this paper,
the road contends that by virtue of
certain provisions in it's charter it
should not be required to comply with
the general laws of 1873, which pro-
yideS that after the first ten years of
operation a railroad in this state shall
have it's tax on gross earnings in
creased from 2 to 8 per cent.
It is understood that the Great West
eTn viii contend that under the char
ter of 1854, granted to the Minnesota
q Northwestern, and amended two
years later, that road was called upon
to pay an annual tax of 2 per cent,
and should be asked to do only this
despite the general law passed by the
legislature later.
Some question will be raised as to
whether the Great Western can avail
itself OF the provisions of the charter
granted to the Minnesota & North
western when that line did not build
or operate any line from 1856 until the
fell OF 1885, when the line was COM
pIeted to Austin Again the point will
be raised as to whether the Great
Western, Incorporated in Illinois, can
avail itself of the charter granted to
the Minnesota & Northwestern, which
was q Minnesota institution, duly in
c0rporated in this state. The case is
set for Nov 1

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Its Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
it was never intended for a medicine
and people who use it as such will
some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve 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 relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irri-
tant to the walls Of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestines caus-
ing death by Inflammation or periton-
tits.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and sureSt cure for sour stom-
ach (acid dySpepsia) an excellent pre-
paration sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
These tablets are large twenty grain
loZengeS, very pleasant to taste and
contain the natural acids, peptones and
digestive 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.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create a healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not q cathartic, but intended only
! for stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliable in any ston-
ach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at so cents per pack
age.

INDIA REFUSES.

Will Not Open Her MINIS for the
Coinage of Silver.
NEW YORK, Oct. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: The Her
aid is informed from a trustworthy
source that the Indian government. in
reply to a further pressing invitation
by the English cabinet to consider
Senator Wolcott's proposals, has an
swered that it cannot reopen the ques-
ton of the Indian currency, and il
will not be a party to the reopening
of the minis for the free coinage of
silver. In we'll informed English cir
cles, adds the correspondent, it is not
believed Lord Salisbury's government
will dare to override on this question
the decision of the government. Sen
ator Wolcott's mission must thus be
considered abortive.
