Pleasant, Simple, hut SAT- and Fl
fectual Cure for 1T.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to
incurable. The usual symptoms
are a full or bloating sensation
after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings,
a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs
and difficult breathing, headaches,
tickle appetite, nervousness and a
general played out. languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and If the
interior of the stomach could be
seen it would show a Shiny, in
famed condition.
The cure OF this common and
obstinate trouble is found in a
treatment which causes the food
to be readily, thoroughly digested
before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous sur
faces of the stomach. To secure a
prompt and healthy digestion is
the n necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. HarlanSon the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed
of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little
Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not
being a patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and as
a that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher, of 2710 Dear
born ST., Chicago, ILL.,, writes:
"Catarrh is a local condition re-
sulting from a neglected cold in
the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes in
famed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into
the throat reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for
catarrh of stomach without cure,
but to-day / am the happiest OF
men after using only one box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. | can
not find appropriate words to ex-
press my good feeling. | have
found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the
simplest and most convenient
remedy for any form of indiges-
ton, catarrh of stomach, bilious
ness, sour stomach, heartburn and
bloating after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free
on stomach troubles, by addressing
F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
The tablets can be found at all
drug stores.

That there was no meeting is gen
orally believed to be due to the fact
that a member of the Second Branch
intended to move a reconsideration OF
the motion which tabled the resolutions
aimed at the Chief of Police and I'm
mating from the Federation OF
Churches. 1t will be remembered these
resolutions were offered in the First
Branch on the 9th inst. by Mr.. Water
house, and were passed by that body.
They then came up in the Second
Branch. where, on motion of Mr.. Rat
cliffe, they were laid on the table.
The resolutions were couched in the
following language:
Resolved, That the Chief of Police
and his deputies be, and they are here
by required to enforce Section 4S, of
the city ordinances on offences, as
long as said ordinance remains the law
of this city u~nrepealed; and further,
that he shall not wait until individual
citizens make affidavits before per-
forming this duty for which he was
elected, inasmuch as, in the Judgment
of this Council, it is his duty to en-
force the ordinances of the city, as no
power of amendment, suspension or
veto of the ordinances enacted by this
Council is invested by the law in him.
Resolved, That the Chief Of Police
be required to report at the next meet
ing of Council whether the slot ma
chimes, the owners or lessees of which
were pulled and fined in December
last, are still in operation"
The vote by which they were adopt
ed in the First Branch was: Ayes
Messrs. Bachman, Baird, Beuter, List,
Meyer, Warehouse and Williams.
Noes-Messrs. Chew, Gartley, Knoke,
Mccormick, Scally and Schmidt-6.
In the Second Branch, on the motion
to lay on the table, the vote was: Ayes
-Messrs. Chew, Fitzsimmons, HeaIy,
,Kindelberger, Kurtz, Marschner,
Maurer, Radcliffe, Ritter, Scheehle,
Watson, Weisgerber and Zeigler-l3.
Noes-Messrs. Beckett, Bloomfield,
Bradbury, Fair, Fox, Gaus, Killeen,
Korn, Long, Megrail and Maxwell-11.
The proposed reconsideration of this
motion to lay on the table, and a sub
sequent concurrence in the action of
the First Branch, is understood to he
the cause of the failure of a quorum in
the Second Branch, last night, putting
a temporary quietus to the proposition.
Representatives of the Federation of
Churches were present, but they evil
IDENTIFY were not next" to what was
going to happen.

CORPORATION A swINDLE
Severe charge Ag.in.sa Maine organ.
ixntfon.

Boston, November a7.--A severe charge
against corporation formed In Maine
was contained In an opinion handed
down In the supreme court this after
noon. IL came on the plaintiffs exeep-
lions In the case Of John q. Williams w..
Joseph 4. Patrick, and the exceptions
we've sustained.
The suit was brought on an agreement
made by the defendant to refund TO the
plaintiff $500, which was paid for shares,
constituting a one-fourth interest in the
Surety Trust company Of Kittery,
Me-, should the plaintiff SO elect and as
sign his stock to the defendant one year
from the date OF agreement, which was
April 8. 1898. The ruling Is held to have
been wrong, In view OF the evidence that
the corporation was founded In fraud,
and that the stock was worthless from
the time 1t was issued and the plaintiff
testimony that In February or March,
1899, he called on Il g defendant and ten
dsred the stock, and demanded back his
money when the defendant refused and
ordered the plaintiff on his premises and
told him not to darken his doors again
and that he was afraid Of the defendant
and would not dare 60 go near him. The
court says that the plaintiffs testimony,
taken in connection with the other evil
dence would have warranted the ] urJ
finding that the tender of the assignment
OF the stock at the end Of the year was
waived by the defendant, and that the
defendant would refuse the stock II 1t
was subseq uentIy rendered.
