drew his knife and elashed Jones in
the abdomen, cutting off the points
of two of his right ribs and making "a
long curved wound. Jones received
two or three other cuts in the abdo-
men and his condition is very serious.

DANGER IN SODA.
soriOns Results Sometimes Follow its
g Excessive Use. -\ (

.
Common soda is all right in it's
place and indispensable in the kitchen
and for cooking and washing pur-
poses, 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 rs mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are ON record where
it accum ulated In the intestines, caus-
ing death by inflammation or peri
tonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recon- mends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stom-
mach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent
preparation sold by druggists under
the name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. These tablets are large 20 grain
lozenges, very pleasant to taste and
contain the natural acids, peptoues
and digestive elements essential to
good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest tie food perfectly
and promptly before it has time to
ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invari-
ably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
in all cases Of stomach arrangements
and finds them a certain cure not
only for sour stomach, but by prompt
ly digesting the food they create a
healthy appetite, increase flesh and
strengthen the action Of the heart
and liver. They are not a cathartic
but intended only for stomach dis
eases and weakness and will be found
/ reliable in any stomach trouble ex.
cept cancer of the stomach. All
druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at Scots. per package.

Spring Fights.

Some of Elko's people had their
war paint on Sunday and two fights
was the result. The first was be-
tween the fighting proprietor of the
Depot hotel and a drummer. But
little damage was done in this scrim
mage as the drummer could see no
cause for fighting. The other was
between student of the business
college and pupil of the high school.
These young men had a fist fight for
blood over an occurrence of the night
before. The combatants were separ-
ated before much damage WAS done.
These scraps are disgraceful to the
participants and violation of the
law that ought not to be tolerated.
The INDEPENDENT withholds the
names Ut the young men engaged in
this row, it being their first offense,
bat gives them and all others due no.
tice that il they engage in these dis
graceful scraps hereafter their names
will appear. Take warning before 1t

No good will come to our cause from
this Newspaper controversy where the
facts are distorted Co mislead The
Board has never objected to any church
or Individual sending money direct to
any missionary.
On the contrary have given the
names and addresses of each of them,
only asking that we be notified of the
money sent SO the doner may be cred
tied.
We feel however that there must be
head to the Foreign Mission Work
and the safest and wisest way will be
to send all money through the Board.
All money sent to Rev. Earnest Baker,
The Gardens Cape Town, Africa, will
be reported to the Board.
DANGER AHEAD.
Since the Misunderstanding among
Negro Baptist's over the Publishing
question, many new plans are develop
ing to do Foreign Mission Work.
Three states have missionaries they
want 90 send. The zeal hath eaten
them up. This spasmcdic way will
ruin US as q denomination.
The work should be left in the hands
of the Board. Unless this is done q
number of excited persons will be
rushed into Africa by Conventions and
Associations and in time deserted.
Our white friends with all of their
wealth and intelligence, act through
Boards; can we hope to climb up some
other way7 We should take warning
from our past failure.
