Winter.

a change from warm to cold is al
ways attended with more danger
than from a cold to a warm tempera-
lure, hence the greater mortality
from lung and throat diseases at this
season Of the year as compared with
spring.
The best protection against colds
is not SO much in extra clothing as
in good digestion.
II the digestion and circulation are
good, colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circula-
ton of the blood and when in this
condition severe colds are contract
ed on the slightest provncation.
People who make regular prac-
tice of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals are free from
colds, simply because their digestion
is perfect, the heart strong and regu-
lar, and the whole system fortified
against disease.
1t requires little argument to con-
vince any one that the best safe
guards against cold, pneumonia and
changes of temperature is q good
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals are dissolved and sJhing-
ling with the food cause it to be
promptly digested and assimilated;
they do this because they contain
nothing but harmless digestive ele.
ments, which digest meat, eggs and
other food even when the stomach
itself is weak and flaccid.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make
people well and keep them well, and
the best habit you can acquire is to
make daily use of them at meals to
keep the digestive organs strong and
vigorous.

Mr.. Hobart spent most of his time in

The COUNT IN KENTUCKY.
Indicated Result Would he Close-Leg-
isIature and Courts Likely
to Decide.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. l3.-The second
suit of the ballotlng for governor OF
Kentucky began with little prospect OF
an immediate definite result. The Off
cial count had been i'll progress two
days. and official returns from large
majority of the 10 counties narrowed
the contest down to nose finish. Each
side claims the election of its ticket, but
the estimated plurality of either does
not exceed 5000 While the returns so
far -ceired favor Taylor. the result of
the count may hinge on the decision
given by the county election commits
sioners in several places where contest
have been begun on the ground Of al
legged irregularities.
One of these contests. that i'll Nelson
county, has been decided adversely to
the Republicans. 1t involves l,l9S votes
nearly as many as either side claims
as its plurality.
The Democrats will contest the votes
of some of the mountain counties which
return large Republican pluralities,
The most important county involved is
Knox, which gave Iaylor l,55o plural
ity. There are also contests in three
precincts in Louisville which went Re-
publican.
In any event it is difficult to see how
bitter contest before the legislature
and courts can he avoided.
The Goebel people cling to their claim
of plurality of 5000 in the state.
these figures being the estimate made by
the nominee himself.
At Republican headquarters III this
city, Taylor's plurality is placed at
1900. In neither case is it possible to
get the figures upon which the claim is
based, each side evidently fearing that
giving publicity to the reports OF its
agents throughout the state might work
to the advantage of its opponent iu the
event of contest.

slashed in and laid the islands waste

''In my opinion force of $4,000 to
