Americans are known as a dyspeptic
people. The extent of this disease may
be inferred from the multitude of so
called "medicines" offered as a remedy,
They are often in tablet form and have
no value except as palliatives of the
immediate effects of dyspepsia The
man who uses them may feel better
but is surely getting worse. They do
not touch the real cause Of the disease.
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
is medicine specially prepared to cur e
diseases of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition. 1t is not made
to give temporary relief but TO effect
permanent cure. In ninety-eight cases
out of every hundred it cures perfectly
and permanently. It has cost Dr.

TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
Continued from First Page.)
the protection of the law.

the protection of the law.
The law is declared to be null and
void for the following reasons:
That the ordinance did not receive the
approval of the Mayor at all, and, as
originally enacted on the 7th of March,
it provided that it was to take effect on
April l. the Mayor vetoed the act on the
4th of April, and the ordinance was not
fully enacted by the Board until that
date, which was after the time pro
vided for it to take effect thereby max
i 1g the law retroactive and ex post facto.
The ordinance passed on April 4th
sought to amend an ordinance that
never existed. The act of the General
Assembly in 1893 in amending the
charter of the Corporation so as to make
simple majority of the Board override
the Mayors veto, is void. The Board
could not pass the ordinance on it's
three several readings at the same meet
ing, as they had no power to suspend
| the rules. The law is unreasonable and
oppressi 7e, and seeks to prohibit instead
of to regulate the sale of liquor; it seeks
to close the saloons at o'clock D. M,
thereby cutting off in the summertime
even portion of business hours during
daylight.
The compliments pray for writ OF
! injunction to be issued against the city,
restraining them from enforcing the law
as it will cause irreparable damage to
the compliments and others engaged in
the liquor traffic.
The granting of the temporary injunc
ton wild have no effect upon the Ter
O'clock Law, as was thought by some
but the city bell will continue to bt
rung as usual, notifying the salool
keepers to close their doors.

WHISTLING HER WAY
INTO PUBLIC FAVOR.
Miss FIoy Ager Won
Much Praise In Akron.
She Is SeIf-Taught---
Her Sisters Remarkable Voice.

Miss Ager is preparing herself for a
public career. From babyhood she has
been ardently fond of music, Prof.
n. l.. Glover of Akron was especially
pleased with Miss Ayers work and
complimented her highly. Prof. Dou-
glass, of Cleveland. formerly a teacher
in Buchtel College has also spoken
in highest praise of Miss Ayers ac-
complshment.
Both Prof. Glover and Prof, Dou-
glass praise Miss Ayers younger sis
ter Lucille who appeared with her in
vocal numbers, The power and sweet
ness of her voice attracted the at
tention of all who heard her. From
her tones one would suppose she was
quite a mature person, though she is
but IL years old. She is permitted to
sing but little as her father has been
advised to guard her voice until she
is older. 1t will surprise those who
heard her here to know that she has
never taken "A lesson in voice culture,
For the younger Miss Ager, too, pub
lie career has been decided upon, but
for five years to come she must be
content to sing very rarely at home or
in public.
The sisters are interesting young peo-
pie and their education in other lines
has not been and is not being neg
lected. The elder is best known in
Akron by reason of having twice ap,
paared in concerts given by the Pro.
gress club.

twenty dollars. This makes the copper
wire attractive to thieves. 1t is also
the cause of great deal of trouble
to the telephone companies.
incidentally, it is interesting to know
that the Cuyahoga Telephone Com,
pany did a great stroke of business
about the time of its organizations 1t
made contracts for thousands OF
pounds of copper wire when the price
was thirteen and one-half cents a
pound and then had the satisfaction
of seeing the price go to twenty-three
cents.
Officials of the telephone company
are very anxious that the Sheriff of
Summit county should pursue his in
vestigation farther. and if possible,
break up the gang which seems to have
its headquarters in Akron, as indl-
Gated by the finding of so large guam
tity Of stolen wire there. 1t Is said that
an outsider notified the Sheriff of the
whereabouts of the store of supposa,
bly, stolen wire, and that he asked the
Cleveland Telephone companies to
have it identified.

confronts the company is the securing

Saturday evening at the home of Miss

different costumes worn and some

lunch was served late in evening. and,
unlike one of the other classes, which
had seven quarts of delicious ice
cream taken in some mysterious man
ner, no refreshments were lost through
the cunning Of upper classmen. An
other social will be held in the nea

more than ordinary attention, is self

Mr. w. III. Ager, proprietor of a hotel
at Sharon Center. She had never ap-

Opera house last Friday evening. The
clear, sweet notes Her lips produced
and the volume of sound filling the
auditorium, WAS surprise to many.
On her first appearance. as through an
oversight she was obliged to sit with
her back to the audience, there We're
many who said Miss Ager used some
mechanical device between her lips
or in her mouth to produce the pure,
ringing sounds. The fact is she used
nothing that nature did not give her.

ut beats everything how many
young old men the railroad eompan-
les have guarding the crossings at Ak
ron" said a local railway official to
the Democrat today. Hardly Que of
the crossing guardsmen Is less than
go years of age, and yet the old men
can see approaching trains as far away
and give as faithful attention to their
duties as the best of them. The vigi-
lance of these men is Instrumental in
saving great many lives each year,
as the trainmen well know but they
get no public credit for their services
and are frequently sworn at by the
impatient public, as if it were their
fault that the crossings are held more
than reasonable length of time by
the train-crews."

the South st. crossing, and William

But Still Vigorous and Alert

his having no gates to operate, is past
G3 years of age. He claims that his
crossing is one of the most dangerous
of any in the city on account Of the
tracks not being on the same grade,
and also because of the high speed Of
trains in that quarter of the city. Mr..
Cummins' crossing station is kept as
neat and clean as most any kitchen.
No train goes by but he closes the
door of the station to keep the smoke
and cinders out.
