DAMAGE SUIT DROPPED.
The Case Against Harris and Morgan
Will be Stopped.

The following item; clipped from
The La Porte dnd. Daily Herald Of
Sept. 2Sth, will be Of interest to the
readers Of The Herald:
Norman BoyeSon, son Of the late
jamie Stewart Boyesen, whose death
at Asheville, N. c., as a result of'inl
suits and indignities suffered at th,.
hands Of a DIR. Morgan OF Augusta
Ga, and Landlord Harris or the
White Stone Lithia Springs at Spar
tanburg, Sc, is still fresh in the
minds Of the people, is a guest Of
John II. Wilk.
The announcement was authorized
Wednesday that all proceedings rela-
tive to the sad affair would be dropped
the sons Of the deceased Indiana liter
AIRY woman and musician having no
desire to incur the notoriety that the
pushing Of the cases against the land
lord and the doctor would occasion.
Ii will be recalled that Mrs. Boyescn
started a $50, 900 damage suit in the
federal court at Charleston, S.. G. !,
shortly before her death, and Of course
her passing away would necesstate
the filing Of new complaint, in
which the sons would be the plaintiffs,
but after consulting friends and at
torneys it has been thought best to
drop the matter. They feel, as do
all who are conversant with the facts,
that there would be no trouble obtain
ing substantial damages from the
Southern landlord and the Georgia
doctor but the gain would not repay
them for the notoriety and trouble
which they would have. They feel
also that their mothers name has been
fully vindicated through the newspa-
pers and by right minded people and
sc, the pushing Of the damage suits
will not be necessary,
Mr. James Il. Harris, proprietor Of
the White Stone. Springs Hotel is

Increased peath Isate.

An increase in the death rate of the
army from 1896 Thousand In 1901
to 1919 Thousand in 1902 is shown
In the annual report Of Surgeon
General O'Riley for the fiscal year
ending June 30. The increase is at
tributcd to cholera, which caused
3.94 deaths q thousand. The report
cUmmends the freedom from miscon-
duct among the inSular scouts. The
spread Of vice in the white troops is
due to the loss Of the cantecns. The
white troops suffered less than the
negroes and Filipinos.

THE AMENDE HONORABLE.


Court took a five minute recess at
this time and Mr.. Nelson asked per-
mission to make a statement. lie said
that counsel for both sides had talked
to him durig the recess and convinced
him that he had been too hasty in
taking up Mr.. Bellingcr's remarks
earlier In the morning. Personally
he would do nothing to offend Mr.. Bel

hastily during the collouuy about the
admission Of the States editorial in

An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine, while on
a recent western trip, was dining one
evening in Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the ad-
vertisefnent of well known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets;
as he himself was regular user of the
tablets, he began speculating as to how
many of the other travelling men in the
dining room were also friends Of the pop
ular. remedy for indigestion.
He says: l counted twenty three men
at the tables and in the hotel Office. I
took the trouble to interview them and
Ewas surprised to learn that nine of the
twenty-three made practice of taking
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered so
much from stomach trouble that at one
time he had been Obliged to quit the road
but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets had been entirely free from indiges-
tion, but he continued their use. especial
ly while travelling, on account of irregu-
larity in meals and because like all trav-
cling men he was often obliged to eat
what he could get and not always what
he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate a meal without
taking Stuart Tablet afterward because
he could eat what he pleased and when
he pleased without fear of sleepless
night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he was
subject to gao on his stomach, causing
pressure on heart and lungs, shortness of
breath and distress in chest, which he no
longer experienced since using the tablets
regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe remedy
he had ever found for Sour stomach and
acidity. He had formerly used common
soda to relieve the trouble but the tab

Simple Way to Escape This Common
Affection.

A cold is the result of sudden chill
closing the pores of the skin and failure
of the body to throw off the impurities.
The worst things you could do at such a
time is to take the cough mixtures and
balsams, or any patent medicines contain
ing poisonous drugs which deaden the
nerves and weaken the body.
Father Johns Medicine builds you up
at the same time it cures the cold; drives
out the impurities and makes new, heal
thy tissue-that gives you vital force to
ward off disease.
This old remedy il not a patent medi-
cine. but the prescription Of an eminent
specialist, who prescribed it for the late
Rev. Father John O'Brien, of st. Pat
rick's Parish, Lowell, Mass, fifty years
ago by whom it was recommended and
from whom it derived its name. 1t con-
tains no opium, morphine OF poisonous
drugs IN any 1orm-you Will never nave
cold if you keep it on hand to take af-
ter any exposure.
1t is Food medicine and good to take
right along, helps digest your food and
has a gentle, laxative effect without
weakening. The better way is to buy
the 81 bottles which contain three times
the quantity of the 5O-cent size. Father
