SWer charges Of assault and battery
preferred by Constables Timothy Jones
and John Lance. On July 2, last, they
went to serve warrants on Lotus,
charging him with selling on Sunday
, and assault and battery. LOTUS re-
fused to go with the constablcs and
with the assistance of his brother-in-
law, Thomas Muldowney, put the con-
stables to flight. The defense was that
the conStableS tried to arrest LOTUS
without reading their warrants and he
refused to go with them. They started
to drag him along and Muldowney in
terfered. Lance tried to strike Lotus
with his club and Muldowney knocked
him down and while he was down Null
downey's wife took Lance's club away.
The latter then drew his revolver and
Mrs. Muldowney took that away from
him also. During this time Lotus and
Jones We're struggling and Jones drew
his revolver, but it seemed to be out Of
order, the witnesses said, and would
not go off. Finally Jones showed LOTUS
away from him and took Lance away
with him. The arrest was not made
until few days later.
LOTUS was found guilty in each case

Is A SERIOUS MATTER.
The Most Serious and Fatal Diseases
Arise from Indigestion.

Chronic indigestion or Dyspepsia,
while very common trouble. has for
some time been looked upon by able
physicians as serious thing, and that
no time should be lost in treating 1t
properly at the start, because recent
researches have shown that the most
serious, fatal and incurable diseases
have their origin in simple dyspepsia
or indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indl-
gestion, the sugar and starchy food not
being assimilated by the digestive Or
gans. In Bright's disease the albumen
is not properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases, and 1t Is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption. But the
trouble has been to find a remedy that
could be depended upon to cure dys-
pepsia, az it is notoriously obstinate
and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike,
until the question was solved three
years ago by the appearance of a new
discovery in the medical world known
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which 1t
was claimed was q certain, reliable
cure for every form of stomach trouble.
Physicians, however, would not ac-
cept such statements without first Civ
ing the new remedy many tests and
carefully observing results
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section Of
the country and with surprising and
satisfactory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
honestly claimed to be n specific, a
radical lasting cure for indigestion In
the various forms of acid dyspepsia or
sour stomach. gas or wind on stomach.
too much bile, undue fullness or pres
sure after eating and similar symptoms
resulting from disordered digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
years trial left no doubt as to their
value and they have recently been
on sale at all druggists at the nominal
price of so cents per package.
NO eXtravagant claims are made for
the remedy. it will not cure rheuma-
tism, pneumonia. typhoid fever. nor
anything but just what it is claimed to
cure and that is every form of stomach
trouble. No dieting is necessary, good
wholesome food and plenty of it, and
you may rest assured that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Ia blets will digest it. Drug
gists claim for 1t that it is pleasure
to recommend it to dyspeptics, because
it gives such universal satisfaction.
