An Old Theory
Exploded.
Food Does Not Digest in
the Stomach.
This Organ Only Prepares it for As.
similation by the Intestincs.

Until few months ago the medical pro-
fession as well as the public at large, have
always believed that food was dgested in
the stomach but thanks to science, they are
now enabled to follow the whole process OF
digestion with their own eyes from the mo-
ment food enters the mouth until II is taken
into the system or carried off through the
bowels. Heretofore all remedies for the
cure OF dyspepsia have been given with tho
idea OF assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ does not
digest II at all explains the cause of their
failure to cure the disease and its constant
increase in spite OF the thousand and one
remedies used, Another and equally i'm
portant discovery was also made; that there
are three distinct kinds OF dyspepsia. two OF
which require different remedies, and the
remedy for one must be exactly opposite to
that for the other in character. For in
stance, acid dyspepsia requires an alkaline
treatment indigestion an acid treatment
these combined and given in one dose neu-
tralize each other, consequently cannot be
given together with effect. The third and
most dangerous of all Intestinal dyspepsial
requires a germicide which must be harm
less and yet strong enough to destroy che
bacilli which cause the disease Under
standing this and knowing that they possess
the only germcide which can be taken in
ternally without injury (HyomeD the II. 7.

tunity seems favorable Some have spoken
Of Prof Wolfe for the chancelorship OF
the university, but the feeling Is so strong
against him that IL Is not likely that the
board will even consider selecting him for
this position. The rumor OF Prof. Wolfe ;
reinstatement recalls the fight that was
made on him several years ago by mem
bers Of the faculty. He was charged with
being meddlesome by his brother professors
and Chancellor MacLean recommended to
the Board OF Regents that he be dropped.
The board complied with the chancellor's
recommendation and his friends have waited
patiently for an opportunity to have him
reinstated

that Regent Rich has several old scores
to settle with people connected with the

BARLEY Bondsmen Again.
Attorney General smyth today filed in
the supreme court an answer to the reply
brief OF the attorneys for the bondsmen OF
exState Treasurer BARLEY. He alleges that
they violated the understanding between the
attorneys and the court and sought to answer
in their brief a portion of his oral argu-
ment. Concerning the argument advanced
he says:
The entire argument of plaintiffs in error,
with respect to the validity of the bond, is
thor!ty, from the sureties to deliver the
bond, ended with the close of January 3,

the assumption that the Suretes authorized

or he would be without authority But
what was that limit? Here is where we
part. We say It was the acceptance of the
bond by the state and that until then
ties In this position we are sustained, as
we have shown in our original brief, by an
unbroken line. of authorities; They. on the
other hand, claim that the limit was fixed
by section 10 of chapter X at the close of
January in this case. In this position they
fly squarely in the face of the decision Of
this court in the Scott case, wherein 1t Is
emphatically set forth as the law of this
state, that the section just. mentioned has
of the bond; that 1t deals with an. entirely
different subject In determining the
validity of this bond we must proceed pre-
cisely as If section IS had no existence.

Police Doubt MiIIer,s story.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. Especial
Telegram )-The local police, after an in
vestigation lasting since yesterday morn
ing, when Albert Miller, the George Ua)
business man. alleged that he had been
robbed of about $4,000 while asleep in one
of the smaller hotels, are this evening in
clined to doubt the truth of the robbery
story. 1t develops that Chief Kreiser eug-
gested to Miller that he offer a reward for
the recovery OF the money and telegraph to
Chicago for a frst-class detective to work
up the case, but Miller was not inclined to
follow the advice, From this and other Pc

it is intimated that the story OF the rob
berg was concocted by Miller for some mo-
tive known only to himself.

Restraint of Trade.

Remarking upon the general aspect of the
case Justice Peckham said:
1--WE have no doubt that where the direct
and immediate effect of contract or COM
bination among particular dealers in a COM
modify is to destroy competition between
them and others, and that the parties to
the contract or combination may obtain in
creased prices for themselves, such contract
or combination amounts to a restraint OF
trade in the commodity, even though con-
tracts to buy such commodity at the en-
hanced prices are continually being made.
Total suppression of the trade in the COM
modify is not necessary in order to render
the combination one in restraint of trade.
1t is the effect of the combination in limit
ing and restricting the right of each Of
the members to transact business in the
ordinary way, as well as its effect upon the

DEBTS OF A PACKING COMPANY.
Creditors of the Northwestern at
Sioux Fails File Many CInims.

Sioux Falls File Many Claims.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Dec. 4-(Special.) y
| 1t is expected that at the first meeting of
the creditors Of the Northwestern Packing
company, December II, which was a few
| days ago declared bankrupt by Federal
| Judge Garland, some plan will be formu-
lated by which the legal tangle in which
the company now finds itself may be
Strengthened out. The immense packing
| plant, originally owned by the Northwest
ern company was last spring transferred
| to the A. Lester Heyer company, composed
of capitalists living in the east and in Eng
land Last July creditors of the original
| company commenced proceedings to have
| the transfer declared null and void, and to
| have the matter thrown into the bankruptcy
court.
No assets are shown because the A. Lester
Heyer company absorbed what was left Of
| the old company. Therefore, until the pres
ent company either voluntarily deeds the
property back to the original company, or is
compelled to do so by an order Of the court,
| no assets can be scheduled. The schedule
shows the liabilities to be $44S, S,274.19 A. B.
Haskell of Fitchburg, Mass, holds tax Ger
tifcates to the amount of s15,375.04. A. Les
ter Heyer claims S210.40 for preserving the
estate since the filing of Jthe petition of
tne creditors last July asking Indt tne CuEn-
pany be declared bankrupt. c. T. Crocker of
Fitchburg, Mass, holds mortgages and notes
against the property to the amount OF
$500 with interest to the amount OF
$16,416.66 due and unpaid. He also holds
bonds to the amount of $4s12S.69, upon
which there is due and unpaid the sum of
$10,42S in interest. In addition he has
mechanics lien of $33,2716 63, with interest
due of $1,413.S2. He also files a claim in the
form of a judgment secured against land
belonging to Senator R. f. Pettigrew and
s. l.. Tate of Sioux Falls The judgment
amounts to $3.50, with interest Of s3S240.

Fifteen Hundred People Killed by
Earthquakes In Asia Minor. '
Constantinople, Oct. 2.--It is estimat-
ed that 1900 persons persisted in the
earthquakes in Asia Minor around
Adm. The first shock occurred at 4
o'clock in the morning of Sept. 20 and
lasted 40 seconds. The effects were ap-
palling Whole villages were COM
pletely destroyed. The earthquake was
felt as far as Scio, Mitylene and
Smyrna.
The latest advices from the stricken
area show that men, women and child
rem were buried in the ruins of their
dwellings before they realized their
danger. Numbers Of bodies still lie
beneath the debris. About 500 per-
sons were killed at Sakareni and some
500 at Denizli, where three-fourths OF
the buildings fell. There was proper
tionate loss of life in many of the
smaller villages. The disturbance has
not yet subsidized, although its strength
appears to be spent. The shocks con-
tinue almost daily. but with no great
violence. The population is encamped
in the open.
One consequence of the earthquake
+ is the subsistence of the level of the
Adm district by two yards. Sulphur
Gus springs burst out in the valley of
Noander and the country between
Adm and Denizili became full of crew
ices, out of which rushed black, muddy
water with sufficient volume to wash
away flock of 1000 sheep.

friends" The dispatch states that the
prisoners unanimously praised their
treatment. One man said: I'VE have
been given the best the country at
fords, fine houses for quarters, SER
wants, plenty of wine and a money al
lowance. Aguinaldo visited us and
shook hands Three of the boys re-
fused to shake hands with him." Then
the dispatch adds: Judging from the
stories of the prisoners, they have been
lionized by the Filipinos"
Making due allowance for possible
exaggeration-and it is hard to see why
there should be anywhere can be no
doubt that the prisoners We're well
treated according to every recognized
canon of modern warfare. This
news ought to carry joy to
every American heart, giving as
it does reasonable assurance that
our brave boys captured in battle
treatment at the hands of their cap
tors.
1t is perfectly safe to say that there
are some people in the United States
who are not happy over it. OF course,
they will not say SO but such is the

| gument with the advocates of an i'm

| been that the declaration of independ-
ence does not apply to barbarians and,
as the Filipinos are claimed to be es-
| sentially "barbarians," of course they
can have no rights which we ought to
respect.
How delighted these people would
have been if the prisoners had returned

mark of barbaric cruelty! How they

the fact a thousand times in proof of
the soundness Of their Judgment and
If cruelty to prisoners proves the bar

| prove the same thing.
1t will be both interesting and anus
ing to note the manner in which the

The annals Of the yachting world
mark August %, 1851, as a red-letter
day. That was the day when the Amer
lea won the challenge cup which for
years the Britishers had offered and
which. for the first time, this country
started out to win. 1t was the year of
the famous worlds fair in London; the
race was an exhibition of American SUI
periortty in the construction and the
handling of swift sea craft
The race occurred off the Isle of
Wight. Victoria, then EngIand's COM
paratively young queen, witnessed in
part the contest. Hundreds of times
the story has been told that, some time

the queen, sitting on the quarterback
OF her yacht, which was anchored near
the home stake, called to her sailing
master to ask if any of the fleet were

inquired, Which is first?" The answer
was THE America (Which is sec
ond?" oh. your majesty, there is no
second" At s:35 o'clock the America
arrived, 20 minutes ahead of the first
of the English yachts: the rest of them
did not put in an appearance till next
morning.
The cup that then came to America
was put in the custody of the New York
Yacht club, as a challenge cup It has
never crossed the waters back to Eng
land. In anticipation of the series of
races that start to-day, current maya
zine and newspaper literature has re-
freshed the public respecting the con-
tests that have taken place in recent
years. These have given enduring
fame to such yachts as the Puritan, the
Mayf1ower, the Volunteer the Vigilant
the Defender. Now come the Columbia
and the Shamrock. Their initial con-
test to-day will rank as an interna tional
affair in the outcome of which millions
upon millions of people will take the
keenest interest.
