For many years II has been supposed that
Catarrh Of tho Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly tho
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
pe;,ted attacks Of Indigestion inflames tho
mucous membranes lining the stomach and

Output and TO Protect Patents.

output ana to protect Patents.
New York, June 13.-The Association
OF Licensed Automobile Manufacturers
a new combination, will in future con-
troll the automobile industry in the
United States. The sum of $4,000 900
is invested in 1t by manufacturers, and
it consists primarily of nineteen max
ers of gasoline cars. These have signed
a nine-years agreement and pooled
their rights under the Selden patent.
This is for the purpose of restricting
indiscriminate extensions of manufac-
lures and the infringements of all pat
ents.
To become a member of the associa-
ton and receive a license every motor
maker must pay an initiation fee of
$1,000 and $1,000 for advance payments
for royalties during 1908. Also quar-
terly royalty on their catalogued sell
ing price on every vehicle produced.
A cash capital OF 100000 is sub
scribed as fund for litigation and to
fight opposition. 1t is claimed that no
one can sell or construct a machine
by a gas engine without a
license from the association and con-
trolling the basic patent issued to
George B. Selden. F. l.. Smith, Olds
motor works, Detroit, Mich, is presi-
dent OF the association.

unusual scenes were enacted in the pri-
vacy of that chamber Yesterday morn
ing When the session ended. and the
justices left the room, their flushed
faces Indicated that Il stormy session
had been held.
1t was reported before The court met
that Justice Magruder would insist on
reading his dissenting opinion in the
Fourth district election case in open
court, but if he contemplated such q
procedure the developments in the con-
ference room induced him to change his
plan. II is said that the ether members
of the court dealt unsparingly with the
offenders and went so far as to threaten
to bring him before the bar of the court
for contempt if he Continued in the
course of obstruction aid antagonsm

time past.
Justice Magruder was credited yes
terday morning with stating that the
criticism of his colleagues was a sur
prise to himself when he read it, as he
had not been advised OF the matter III
the court room. This statement is not
believed by the attaches Of the court.
who declare that the protest was read
in open court and was voted upon by
the members OF the bench. the name OF
Justice Magruder being called with the
others.
The difficulties between Justice Ma
gruder and the other members of the
court are of long standing. Ever since
he has been a member lie has been a
thorn in the side of his associates. 1t
is said that he has antagonized them
upon every possible OCCASION. and it is
well-known fact that he mas filed more
opinions than all the other
members of the court combined.

T was one Of those rainy days in
l autumn. with all the suggestion
of winter In it, except that feeling of
snugness that makes it such pleas
ure to curl up before wood fire and
bury yourself and your troubles in a
book, but this element being missing,
Beatrice Russell found it impossible
to settle down to book. There are
moments when the most inveterate
book-worm finds it hard to compose
his thoughts into an appreciative au-
dience for any one, moments when
they 60 roaming instead into the fu-
ture, or back into the past, where the
ghost of ones dead self keeps ever
at ones side, and leads one on from
tomb to tomb in that burial land of
dead hopes and broken dreams. In
to some such valley of shadows the
tiny ghost had led Beatrice while in
reality she had been roaming from
point to point of the room, now paus-
ing to take up half a dozen books
only to slide them back into the case
with a half page read and take up
her wandering which brought her to
anchor at last near the hearth where
glowed a bed of Goals. Leaning her
head against the mantel she stood
staring down at them gloomily.
What she saw there was the story

ORIGIN OF HOLD The FORT
Part Played bu the SIGNAL Service in the Campaign
Around Atlanta, October, "a.

The signal service of the federal
army played part during the civil
war that is not generally understood
nor sufficiently appreciated. In this
way most important information was
conveyed from one part of the army
to another and in the face of the
greatest danger. It was often the
only means of communication at very
critical times, says writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
An interesting illustration of the
1ature of this branch of the service is
furnished by the part it played in con-
nection with the campaign around At
lanta in the early days of October,
1864, and on the eve of the terrible
battle Of Allatoona Pass. AS usual,
newspaper men were at the front, but
the language of the signal service
was one thing they did not under
