Reversed in the Supreme Court.

The supreme court has rendered de-
cision annulling the action of Judge
Steele Of the Second district in appoint
ing a receiver for the Universalist church
at Lewiston. The action was brought
in the district court by the Universalist
general convention against certain men,
bers of the church, alleging that these
had entered upon and taken possession
of the premises. The defense set up was
that the property belonged to the First
Universalist church society of Lewiston,
for which defendants were trustees. The
lower court granted the prayer for the ap-
pointment of receiver and the defend
ants applied to the supreme court for a
writ of certiorari to review that action.
The supreme court says:
"It is not the policy of courts of equity
to take charge of the real estate and
manage and control it through the aid of
a receiver as against the party in pos
session asserting title in himself, unless
it is show to be in imminent danger of
great waste or irreparable injury"
f. O'Neill attorney for appellant and
l. N. Smith and Miles S Johnson attor-
neys for respondent.

LARGE CROWDS AT CARNIVAL

Numbered -Four Thousand

| Yesterdays crowd was the largest tha
has been assembled at the Redmen ):
street carnival. -Four thonsand people
gathered to see the Woodmen's log roll
ing and other attractions in the evening
Wednesday was Redmen's day and the
parade at O'Clock was grand. Queen
Nyda was there in her splendid attire
accompanied by courtiers and ladies oi
state. A number of painted braves rode
horseback and about one hundred war
| riors in the divers colors marched in the
columns. A number of Indians from the
Nez Perce reservation took part in the
ceremonies. Peopeopotalie, a sub chief
by right of birth and daring to take
Chief Joseph's place when he has passed
to the happy hunting grounds, was a
center of attraction and took part i'll the
war dance on the stage. The Indian
band was present from Lapwai and did
nicely.
After the parade the Improved Order of
Redmen and the aborigines produced the
weird war dance. A quartet of Nez
Perce squaws beat the war drum and
hummed the dismal war song. 1t was
a grand sight, especially to those who
had never witnessed such performance.
Yesterday was Woodmen's day and the
parade at 7 O'Clock, besides the usual
participants. was enlarged by the mem
bership of both Lewiston and Charleston
lodges of Woodmen of the World. The
local lo1ge was represented by their
uniform rank with axes and their degree
team. The Clarkston boys brought their
axes. A large pine log two feet through
and IS feet long was hauled by four fine
horses on a decorated float.
On the fair grounds the log was rolled
TO the ground and from that time on was
the center of attraction. A space was
cleared fifty feet long and lines marked.
John Little as captain of the Lewiston
team, and Fra k Watrus as captain of
the Charleston team, chose Ed White,
John Marks, Walter Leachman, Harley
Stroug and Conrad Eichenberger for
Lewiston and Ernest Petton, William
Hayes, George Gombest, Martin Caesar
and w. Wicks for Clarkston to roll the
log from one line to the other aud back,
turning the log end or end before the
return. Owen Mounce was selected as
official time keeper. The contest was
exciting. The Charleston boys made
record of So seconds but they were de-
feated when the old timers of the Clear
water drives took hold and brought the
log to stand still at the home mark in
just "a seconds from the start The log
was then carried to the stage and E. ].
Pelton and E. J. Roper for Clark
ston and Walter Leachman and
Harley Strong tor Lewiston sawed
cuts of wood from the but. The
Vineland boys set the pace at minute
and 81 seconds bu they were again
beaten by record of 49 seconds. There
were two prizes given, SIS for the log
rollers and $40 for the saving contest.
Both were won by the Lewiston teams
Today will be children's day and every
thing will be free this afternoon. The
ball games this afternoon and tomorrow
morning will draw large crowds.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But It Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become fieshy and plump
it can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should De
albuminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs beefsteak and cereals; in other
words the kinds of food that make
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwOrk,
does not properly digest and assimilate
it, which is the reason so many people
remain thin and under weight, the di-
gestive organs do not completely digest
the flesh forming beefsteak and eggs
and similar wholesome food
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics. although
they may have no particular pain or
inconvenience from their Stomachs.
If such persons would lay their
prejudices aside and make a regular
practice of taking. after each meal one
or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
the food would be quickly and thor
Oughly digested, because these tablets
contain the natural peptones and
diastase which every weak stRvaach
lacks, and by supplying this want the
stomach is soon enabled to regain les

The case is not at all parallel with
that Of the pilot house Of a ship il
which two men are on duty. The loco
motive engineer has a given line of ran

switch and every signal is and he is in
frequent communication with the dis

It's different aboard the boat. The

This gives the Rock Island q direct line
to Galveston. enabling it to handle traf-

directly from Rock Island official that
