The supervisors defeated the water

money with which to partially construct
bridges and accept the responsibility.
The people are indignant over the set

The supervisors are censured because
they compromised a victory and took
action when they should not have done
so.

her and residents generally in this vi
cinity are much aroused over the pros
pect Of finding good coal near here At
least they will organize a company and
carry on some thorough prospecting.
Wednesday evening very enthusi-
astic meeting was held here, presided
over by Mayor T. L. Kenney. L. NJ.
Lake was secretary. Details Of the va
rious coal finds about here were given
by S. Shoemaker and others. The wells
in which was struck substance which
indicated the presence Of soft coal, were
dug in 1892. On four different farms
these finds were made
AT the meeting Mr.. Pratt moved that
stock company be formed to further
prospect by putting down two more
holes. This will, be done. It is thought
certain that paying quantities of coal
will be found less than 300 feet below
the surface. If everything is promis-
ing when the new holes are sunk. the
stock of the company will be increased.
Mr.. Lind subscribed $500 and others fol-
lowed with liberal amounts for the pur-
pose OF prospecting. A committee was
named to draft a tangible plan of or
ganization and procedure and will re-
port at another meeting next week,

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG.

Eood Madeleine,

Prevents Many People From Trying
Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common ana
IN most cases 80 obstinate to cure thal
people are apt to look with Suspicion on
any remedy claiming to bea radical per-
manent cure for dyspepsia and indiges-
ton. Many such pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being hum
busred. especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, SO far, in fact, that
MANY people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk a little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of preparation SO reliable
and universally used as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one importans re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients, altho they
are sold by all druggists under protec-
ton of trademark, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the oil
gestive acids. Golden Seal, bismuth. ny
dastis and nux They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any
organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before it has time
to ferment, sour and cause the mischief
This is the only secret of their success
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely upon the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken at
ter meals digest the food. That is all
there is to it Food not digested or
half digested Is poison, as it creates
gas. acidity, headaches, palpitation of
the heart, loss Of flesh and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
