Hears Controversy Over Kearny
County Bond Case.

His Honor State Auditor Cole sat in
judicial capacity this morning upon
the matter OF the Kearny county bonds,
the registration OF which is contested
There was an immense range to the
discussion. swinging from considera-
ton of 'fwho burned the Kearny county
courthouse to an attempted reversal
of Judge Foster and the United States
district court.
Toward the close it became most
animated. Talking about the vouchers
for the county's Indebtedness which
were destroyed when the courthouse
was consumed by fire, Police Judge
Lindsay exclaimed.
They burned the courthouse"
who burned the courthouse" cried
Milton H. Brown, one of the attorneys
for taxpayers against the bond issue
tfYesl Who did, Who did," nercely
counter-questioned lindsay.
Auditor Cole moved that that part
Of the argument be stricken from the
records, SO that his court viii not nave
to decide who burned the Kearny
county courthouse.
When the vouchers were drawn in
place of the warrants. the warrants
were destroyed In bonfire for the pur-
pose. Now the vouchers are destroyed
and there is no evidence Of the alleged
indebtedness except to 90 back to the
old scrip that the warrants were orig
tnaliy issued on
Milton Brown and Judge Gettys. for
the DIRECTORS to the proposed refund
ing bond issue argued that this is
sue. to which County Commissioners
Carter and KeIl have attached their
signatures, is clearly illegal, because
the bonds that they are TO refund were
declared void. 1.-The original bonds are
dead; how can they be resurrected2"
they asked.
Clifford Hisred maintained that to a
compromise there must be concessions
by both sides, not all on one side and
his side al that He also referred to
Judge Fosters eccentricities on the
United States district court bench as
costing lawyers and ltigants many
hardships.
Auditor Cole has reserved his deci-
sion for some days upon the matter OF
registering the compromise bonds. The
directors notified the auditor that the
people back Of them would stand the
expense Of suit il Lindsay and Histed

register the s44, 800 issue of bonds. They
insist that the issue Of bonds to pay

40 POLICEMAN THERE.
Transfer Man Hurst Assaulted and
ASSISTANTS Get Away.

William Hurst, the agent at the
transfer station of the city railway, is
nursing a sore face from the result of
an encounter with two unknown men
who were trying to beat him out Of a
transfer.
One of the men cane over to the
station with a crowd from a car and
asked for two transfers. A moment
later he was joined by his companion,
who came walking down the street
Hurst noticed that the transaction
seemed peculiar and challenged the
holder of the transfers The man
would not give up the point, and as
he was handing one of the transfers
to his friend Hurst made a grab for it.
Both men then set upon him. While
one began striking at Hurst the other
struck his feet out from under him,
and as Hurst fell to the pavement the
man struck him in the face several
times. A policeman was not in sight,
and the two men succeeded in getting
away.

INGALLS, DEFENDS ROWAN.
Destruction Of Filipino Town Was
Necessary-Funston Feared.

Atchison. Kan. July 13.-Capt. Ralph
Ingalls,. son Of the late John J. ingalls,
ex-United States senator from Kansas,
who has Just returned from the Philip
pines, says the charges against Capt
A. s. Rowan, of Atchison. for burning a
Filipino town have been magnifed.
4 do not think the damage amounted
to $3.50, and the whole town. which con-
sisted simply of huts, could be rebuilt
in a day. Knowing Capt Rowan as
do. feel safe in saying that he would
not have destroyed the town If he had
not had sufficient cause.
Gen Funston is the central figure IN
Manila The natives flock arOunG him
wherever he goes to get good look at
him Before Funston captured Aguin-
aldo. an American was not safe away
from the protection of the soldiers in
northern Luzon, but as soon as the
capture was verified the situation
changed. Americans are safe any

Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans. is certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry Of American
business life. it is more often the re
suit of weak stomachs. of poor diges-
tion.
Real organic disease is incurahle
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the
same great nerves. the Sympathetic
and Pneumogastric.
In another way also, the heart is
affected by the form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure OF the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
