learned the news, that our Board OF
Health had removed all quarantine re-
strictions against passengers and trafhc

Now let everybody act well their part,
let the past be but dream, look forward
towards the future roseate with nope

do citizens part.
If our good people were more afraid OF

| tics, where alone they can be cured, we
would have healthier state OF affairs.
| When one will not read nor listen, he is
almost past redemption.
Those are most excellent rails that the
Center Line road is now having put
down.

one in the criminal annals of Jeffer. son county for the forensic e'ouuence 1t produced. 1t is generally conced- ed that Prosecuting Attorney Mar tin made the effort of his life, and his speech is pronounced the ablest he ev- CT delivered and one of the ahest ev- CT heard in the court house. But to the young legal firm of Foster & Coleman fall the honors of the occa. sion. They conducted their case with great skill and adroitness, and succeeded in impressing upon the iu- ry the reasonable doubt" which brought acquittai. Their speeches were very forceful and logical and convincing, and did them much cred it. Throughout Saturday they were reciving the congratulations of their numerous friends.
 Thus the curtain falls on the Cloud case, and the murder of Irene Meyer, a eourtesan in q sporting house in this city, remains as great mystery as ever.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Will Not Be Sent Out Subject to
 Release.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4--The in- coming of Senators, Representa- tives and others concerned in the opening of Congress reached high tide today. and the central portions of the Capitol present more ami mated appearance than for months past. Although the contents of the Presidents Message have probably been more accurately forecasted than has been the case with any similar executive document for good many years, it is said that ex- traordinary precautions have been taken to prevent the message or any portions of it leaking out in ad- vance. In fact, it is understood today that, contrary to the practice heretofore, it will not be telegraphed early in the morning, subject to release,' but on the contrary, it will become available for the wires only when it's reading has com menced in the House of Represen- tatiyes. There may be modifica- tion in the program, however, be- tween now and Monday morning.

A GOOD PRACTICE.
If You want a Gnod Appetite and Perfect
 Digestion

After each meal dissolve one or two of Stuar;. < Dyspepsia Tablets in the mouth and, mingling with the food, they constitute perfect diges- tive, absolutely safe for the most sensitive stomach.
 They digest the food before it has time to ferment, thus preventing the formation of gas and keeping the blood pure and free from the poison ous products of fermented, half di- gested food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the complexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
 They increase flesh bS digesting tiesh-forming foods.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the onIy remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach trouble and nothing else.
 One disease, one remedy, the suc- cessful physician of today is the spe- cialist, the successful medicine is the medicine prepared especially for one disease,
 A whole package taken at one time would not hurt you, but would sim- ply be a waste of good material.
 Over six thousand men aud women i'll the state of Michigan alone have been cured of indigestion and dys- pepsia by the use of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets
