TEMPER


A REFORMATION.
Tom Jones was a drunkarij
There was no doubt of that,
You could tell by his nose,
And his coat and his hat.
And his ragged old trousersl
o, where could you match emp
Or where find II woman
Whoever could patch emp
His wife never tried il;
Twas not cause she wouldn'ti
The reason was this:
The poor woman couldn't,
For this pair Of trousers
Was Toms only one,
And what could he do
While the patching was done?
)ne evening, quite sober,
Tom came home to tea,
And after n while
To his poor vile said he:
"There's something l miss.
And I've mi sed 1t for weeks,
Say, what has become
OF the rod in your eheeksI"
"What one person loses
Another one gains"
Ills pale-iooking wifi
With n sad smile e~xplainsi
"Beeome OF the red2 Tom,
You know where 1t goes.
You stole il to redden
The end Of your nose"
Tom thought for n minute,
Then said to his wife;
ats wrong, and / know it,
To lead such a life.
And now, my dear wife,
Ill do us l ought'er."
And he joined the Good Templars
And drank only water.
And now he helps roll
The great temperance ball.
And keeps to his pledge,
Beer, cider and all;
Aud he VOWS a Good Templar
He'll always remain,
And on his wife's cheeks
Bloom the roses again.

ELECTRICITY FOR THE VINES.
Machinery to Disco. ME Strikes by Dis
contentets ujarEmcn.


A scheme, having for ia direct object the
development and utilization OF machinery
to be adapted to the varying needs OF n coal
mine, and for its ultimate object the discour-
agement Of strikes as a means OF bettering
conditions, has taken definite shape at COL
umbus, Ohio. A promin3-t Hooking Valley
operator secured from the Secretary Of State
the blank forms and instructions necessary
to the formation OF a corporation for profit.
1t was disclosed that tha schome Is to con-
struct mammoth electrical plants In the vat-
leys. with u central power house as an Access
sorry, from which will DO furnished power to
operate machinery to BIO placed in the con-
tiguous mines. The operators were aided
to this solution by tho determined stand
taken by the miners at tier recent conven-
ton. and the fact that numerous local strikes
pending have seriously crippled the mining
industry. II the scheme does not miscarry,
central power houses will soon be erected in
Jackson County, at WellstHn, and Coalition.
as experiments.
Among the advantages considered by the
operators is that the lighting OF mines by
electricity will make fires practically impos-
sible. About thirty mines will benefit from
the experimS mt in Jacksot County. Thou-
sands of MINIS will be thrown out of en-
nloyment.

THAT COMMON TROUBLE. ACID DYs-
PEPsIA, OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as q Cause Of serious
Disease

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn Or sour stomach, is a form OF indl-
gesiion resulting from fermentation OF
the food. The stomach being too weak
to promptly digest it. the food remains
until fermentation begins, filling the
stomach with gas. and bitter, sour,
burning taste in the mouth is often
present This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occur
renee is given little attention. Because
dyspepsia is not Immediately fatal, many
people do nothing for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy mas
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t Is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
fern of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold Dy
druggists everywhere at so cents per
package. 1t is prepared by the Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich, and while IL
promptly and effectually restores a Wig
orous digestion, at the same time IS per-
fectly harmless and will not injure the
most delicate stomach, but on the con-
trary by giving a perfect digestion
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.

Was Refused-Case Tried Yesterday.
Last Marcn Mr.. I. P. Campbell ship
bed a car load Of cattle to Kansas City
rom Attica, Kan This was only
very few weeks after the Kansas legls-
:ature had adjourned. This body Whiie
N session passed a law compelling al
tbe railroads in the state to Issue return
TRANSPORTATION TO the shippers.
Mr.. Campbell asked for ms return
transnortation which was allowed him
under the law only at that time recent
" passed. The Atchison, Topeka ana
Santa Fe Railroad company, over Whlcn
t,e STOCK was shipped, refused TO give
him the pass or ticket ID return nome
on. He brought suit asking for the
money expended for ticket to Attica
from Kansas City and attorneys fees.
The case was up for argument yestef-
dsv afternoon before Judge Dale. MI.
Campbell appeared in his own benah
and Mr.. F. w Bentley represented Gne
railroad compsny.
NJ. Bentley did not make much or a
fight about paying the fare to Attica
from Kansas City but he made vigor-
Gus contest in regard to allowing the
attorneys fee He claimed that 1t was
contrary to the constitution of the state
of Kansas as well as Of the United
States. Both of the gentlemen gave
numerous citations.
Judge Dale took the matter under ad-
vise1nent and will in ali probability
hand down written decision the early
part Of next week. The case is Of con-
siderable interest, as it is the first test
TO be made of ffne new law.
