catarrh of che Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into 1t that fails
to digest, it decays and infiames the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves, and causes the glands to Sc
crete mucin, instead of the naturaI
Juices of digestion. This is called Ca,
tarrh of the Stomach. For years I

Inheritance Tax on Estate Valued at
$2754,o15.

Albany, N. Y, July 25.-The state
will collect $137,7OO from the heirs of

man of this city, according to the re-
port of Appraiser Charles B. Temple
ton, filed with Surrogate Fits.
This is the largest Inheritance tax

The entire estate is appraised at ST.

a million dollars than the estimated
value put upon the millionaire's prop
erty at the time of his death, and the
heirs will receive 20 per cent more
than they expected.

THE BAND CONCERT.
An Unusually Big Crowd and Fine
Program. :

An unusually good crowd was out
to the Saturday evening concert and
the down town district was fairly
jammed full of people and vehicles of
all kinds from baby cabs TO automo-
biles. The famous Iowa Brigade Band
never played better and the boys
were complimented on all sides. os-
kaloosa could not keep house without
these weekly holiday occasions, and
the concerts are worth double what
they cost, not only in direct returns in
a business way, but in the pleasure
they afford all who hear them and the
generous advertising they give the
city abroad.

THAT DEAD MEMBER
How Yadkin Board of EduCa-
ton Went Wrong.
Representative Watts Of redeII Throws Light on
the Situation and Explains His Connection
With the ErRr.

Yesterday a reporter was talking to
Representative A. d. Watts, of Ireden,
who is at the Marlborough, about the
mistake in the appointment of the school
board for Yadkin county. Mr.. Watts
said:
Il am glad you called this to my at
tention, for l understand that l am being
severely criticised by some of the Dem
Ccrats Of Yadkn county on account of
this matter The facts are as follows;
Sometime in January L received letter
from ID. M. Reece ESD, Chairman of the
Democratic Committee of Yadkin county,
enclosing a list of names for the County
Board of Education and Pensions and for
Magistrates, which he wrote me had been
recommended by the committee at a re-
cent meeting. Mr.. Reece also wrote me
that he had sent the same list to Senator
Henderson, of Rowan, who subsequently
told me he had lost his list.
Il put the list in my desk, and when
Judge Graham chairman of the House
Committee on Education. asked for re-
concentrations for the various school
boards for the State, / gave him that
the names of his recommendations for
the school board, and urged their sclec-
ton upon Judge Graham, stating that
they had been recommended by the DEM
ocratic county committee of Yadkin
county.
when Judge Graham reported the bill
appointing the various county school
boards another list than the one recon-
J,I I. II
peared for Yadkin county, which the
judge informed me had been recommended
by Mr. n Glenn Williams of Yadkn
county. ! again urged the the judge to
appoint the men recommended by the
Democratic organization of the county,
and after consultation with several mem
bers of his committee, Judge Graham
agreed to do this.
Il called for the list and the judge told
me it was over in the office of the State
Superintendent, where the committee held
its sessions, and a page was sent for it
but he could not find it, The next morn
ing Judge Graham told me he could not
find it. The bill was on it's passage and
there was no time to write to any one.
| undertook to name Mr. Recess list
from memory and it seems that made a
mess of it, for / named one dead man and
one man who had recently resigned, get
ting only one of the names straight. The
State Board Of Education will doubtless
appoint the men recommended by the
Democratic county organization and this
mistake will be corrected"
Continuing Mr.. Watts said:
81 had no other purpose than to serve
the Democratic organization and
thought / was doing it, / got the magis-
trates appointed just as Mr.. Reece' s
committee recommended and the school
board would have been as the committee
recommended but for Judge Graham S
losing the list. ! knew none of the par
ties and had no disposition to interfere
except at the request of the Democratic
committee of the county"
