We refer 10 the common use OF soda
TO relieve heartburn or sour stomach, q
habit which thousands OF people practice
almost daily, and one which IS ff4ugbt
with danger; moreover the SODA only
gives temporary relief and IN the end
the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
TO the walls OF the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where II ac-

death by Inflammation or pefitonltis.
Dr. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach

SHOULD BE REPRESENTED

In commenting upon the action
of the county court in refusing to
make an appropriation to have our
county suitably represented at the
Trans Mississippi Exposition at
Omaha next summer, the Free Press
ssys: "All that was asked was two
or three hundred dollars with which
to pay men who should do the work
of collecting, arranging, preparing
and delivering for shipment q fair
exhibit of the natural and manufac
tured products of Bates county, and
whatever freight charges might have
to be met. If our people
properly appreciated what the Trans
Mississippi Exposition means to us,
we believe that a sufficient subscrip-
ton could be raised to place Bates
county in the Missouri building with
credit to our people and profit to
our county. The drift has been for
several years, and is now, from the
bleak northwest to the southwark.

that three-fourths of the new settlers
OF Bates county within the last three
years have come direct from the

is located in the heart of this terri
tory, and millions of people in the
northwest will visit this exposition,

BattleshIp Maine DestroHed.

Havana, Feb, 15.-At a quarter
of 10 o'clock this evening terrible
explosion took place on board the
United States battleship Maine in
Havana harbor. Many were killed
and wounded. All the boats of the
Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII, are
assisting. The cause of the explo-
sion is not apparent.
The wounded sailors of the Maine
are unable to explain it 1t is be .
lieved that the cruiser is totally
destroyed. The explosion shook
the whole city. The windows were
broken in all the houses. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press
says he has conversed with several
of the wounded sailors and under
stands from them that the explosion
took place while they were asleep,
so that they can give no particulars.
