"a Weak
Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use OF alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need q good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-

which some people suffer after meals.

fields should ii come. And surely
the Bay City country has Away:
suffered more from overfows thar
any other section. The editor has
seen the water three feet deep on
the streets of Wharton, which is
never seen in Brownsville. The
soil here is not too porous, but holds
moisture unusually long. The air,
instead of being dry, is generally
moist, and the heavy dews which
generally fall here are almost equal
to rain. The sun is not hotter,
but, if anything, the heat is less
here than in the Caney country,
and the evaporation of water is
less, because our prevailing South
east winds, coming over the Gulf,
are moist and DO not absorb
so much water as dry winds do. As
to the pumping plant alleged to
have been left a mile from the river,
the most diligent inquiries put to
men knowing every foot of river
front from HidaIgo to the mouth of
the river has failed to discover
such thing.
The truth is, that there is no
more favorable country for irriga-
ton and especially for rice growing
than the lower Rio Grande valley.
Men who know well both the Bay
City, or Caney, country and this
inform the editor that the Caney
soil has been pronounced by experts
to be exceedingly rich, and thai
the Rio Grande soil is fully equal
to it. Moreover, while the Caney
land is very limited, here
we have u valley Seventy-five miles
long and fifty miles back from the
river, nearly all of which is irriga-
Ole, and covered with the same rich
soil. With the numerous reSacas,
this valley, which may
De used as reservoirs, it offers, an
almost illimitable field for irriga-
ion enterprises. Other points in its
avor are the fact that rain viii not
interfere with harvesting, which is
said to be one of tie most seriuu,
drawbacks to the rice industry at
Bay City, and that the season here
permits earlier planting, giving
Ietter chance of getting the crop on
he market early. As to its adap-
ability to rice, it has only to he
laid that from the best imported
Honduras seed planted here last
an even better quality of
eed was produced. Such of the
.rop as was sent to the mills at
galveston and Houston was pro-
,ouced the finest rice received last
ear, and the choicest, of course /
vas not shipped, but sold here for
eed rice. As to cane and alfalfa,
md, it should he added, lis to vege-
ables of all kinds, corn, cotton and
,ther products, it is conceded that
his valley will rival any
ection in producing such crops. The
act that there are now in course of
five new pumping
plants on the river including Hi
Ia lgu and Cameron counties. shows
hat the question of irrigation has
,een proven satisfactorily here.
There new plants, in addition to
hose already in operation, will
make ten in the two counties.
Three OF the new ones are being

p,ssRow FOUND MOT curry
Lawyer Miles sayo, Suicide Was the csuse
of the Two Deaths.

Riverhead. L. Louis a. Disbrow
was acquitted Of the murder of Clar-
ence Foster and was set at liberty.
District Attorney Smith seemed greatly
disappointed. He was asked whether
he would try Disbrow on the indict-
ment charging him with the murder Of
"Dimple" Lawrence, the girl who dis
appeared with Foster on the night Of
June 10 last. and whose body was
found with his in Tiana Bay.
"N6, tried the strongest case first"
he said. ut would be no-use to try the
Lawrence indictment"
To most Of those who attended the
trial the verdict was not unexpected.
for the prosecution brought out moth
ing more than had been presented at
the preliminary hearings, when there
was no direct evidence to connect Dis
brow with the deaths of his two asso-
ciates.
Mr.. Miles. in summing up for the de-
tense, attacked the characters OF the
dead couple. and advanced the theory
that with their money dwindling they
had committed suicide together. Dis
trict Attorney Smith was frequently
rebuked by Justice Maddox for per-
sonal references which he made to Mr..
Miles and Mr.. Ackerly, who assisted
in the defense. The case went to the
jury at 4.05 o'clock, and It was at 4.50
o'clock that the Court House ben sig
nailed that they had agreed.
When the verdict was announced
there was applause, Disbrow rushed
from the Court House to a telephone,
and was the first to inform his mother
and sisters at the family home at Rich.
mond Hill, in Queens Borough, that he
was free.
