OCONHOR AND POTTS FOR THE BENCH

There is naturally some speculation as
to who will capture the plums at the dis
posal of Mayor Pagan on January i
next. tt is not believed that any of the
present city officials who hold office at
the hands of Mr.. Pagan will be turned
down. But there will be some changes
among the subordinates Of the several de-
partments. Former Police Justice J..
Herbert Potts is said to be slated for one
Police JustieesAip, and Joseph A. O'Con-
nor, the Mayors Private Secretary, is
mentioned in connection with the other
Police Justiceship.
The Finance Board, it is said, will re-
main the same as it stands at present
There may be few changes in the
make--up of the Board of School Direc-
tors. John Brennan is looking for Fire
Commissioner Ni,lett's berth in the Fire
Board. There is talk to the effect that
Former Tax Commissioner James g.
Lindsay, who was once turned down by
Mayor Pagan, may be reappointed to
that Board. President Emil patz, Of
the City Hall Commission, will make a
fight to retain his position. Police Com
missioner Thomas W. Tilden will have,
it is said, the Republican organization
backing for reappointment.
1t is said that because DIR. J. D. Nc
Gill is president of the Hudson County
National Bank, Nelson J. H. Edge, who
is cashier of that institution, will not be
reappointed as library trustee.

A TEST EXPERIMENT.
Peculiar Power Possessed by a New
Medicine.

Of new discoveries there is no end, but
and one which will prove Invaluable to
thousands Of people, is discovery which
it is believed will take the place of all
other remedies for the cure of those COM
mon and obstinate diseases, dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. This discovery is
not loudly Advertised, secret patent
medicine, but is scientific combination
of wholesome, perfectly harmless vege-
table essences, fruit salts, pure pepsin and
bismuth.
These remedies are combined in lozenge
form, pleasant to take, and will preserve
their good qualities indefinitely, whereas
all liquid medicines rapidly lose what
ever good qualities that may have had as
soon as uncorked and exposed to the air.
This preparation is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and itsis claimed that
one of these Tablets or lozenges will di-
gest from 800 to 5000 times its own
weight of meat eggs and other whole
some food. And this claim has been
proven by actual experiments in the fol-
lowing manner:-A hard. boiled egg cut
into small pieces was placed in a bottle
containing warm water heated to ninety
eight degrees (or blood heat); one of
these Tablets was then placed in the bot
tie and the proper temperature maintain
ed for three hours and half, at the end
of which time the egg was as completely
digested as it would have been in a
healthy stomach. This experiment was
undertaken to demonstrate that what it
would do in the bottle itswoulae also do
in the stomach, hence its unauestiona BILE,
value in the cure of dyspepsia and weak
digestion. Very few people are free
from some form of indigestion but scarce
ly>two will have the same symptoms.
eating, bleating from gas in the stomach
and bowels, others have acid dyspepsia
or heartburn, others palpitation or head
aches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and
under shoulder blades, extreme nervous
ness as in nervous dyspepsia, but they
erly digest what is eaten. The stomach
must have rest and assistance, and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both,
by digesting the'food for it and in short
time it is restored to its normal action
and vigor At the same time the Tablets
are so harmless that child can take
them with benefit This new preparation
has already made many astonishing
cures, as for instance the following
After using only one package of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets l have receiv-
ed such great and unexpected benefit that
I wish to express my sincere gratitude.
In fact, it has been six months since |
took the package and l have not had one
particle of distress or difficulty since
And all this in the face of the fact that
the best doctors l consulted told me my
case was Chronic Dyspepsia and abso-
iutely incurable as IShad suffered twen-
ty-fve years l distributed half dozen
packages among my friends here who are
very anxious to try this remedy.

DEMOCRATS
SUSPICIOUS
House to House Canvass
Suggested in the Eighth
and Ninth Wards to
Test the Vote.
5. 8W. BOARD DECISION EXPECTED
Courts Said to Have With
held It Until After Elec-
n-Faganites Jub-
liant.
s. &W. BOARD DECISION EXPECTED

The friends of Police Justice Murphy,
who was defeated in the Mayoralty cam
paign, have not yet recovered from their
depression of spirits, while those of
Mayor Pagan are correspondingly elated.
Many Traceyites are claiming credit for
Mayor Fagan's victory, while ardent
Pagan men are declaring that it was
Fagan's personal popularity and the con-
fidence the people have in him that gave
him his victory.
The Democrats are not yet satisfied
with the big Republican vote in the
Eighth and Ninth Wards, and it is pos
sible that further investigation will be
made of the registry lists in those two
wards.
! A level-headed Democratic official said
this morning that he thought the Demo-
cratic Committee should have a close
personal house-to-house canvass of the
two wards made and the results COM
pared. He said that he was sure that
the result would be that at least one
thousand voters who claimed residence
in the two wards in question would be
found to be non-residents.
The loyal Democrats are congratulate
ing themselves. on the fact that the whole
Democratic ticket}went through, with the
exception of the Mayor, and, despite the
boasts of Traceyites, feel that the party
organization has not sustained so much
injury as some people think, over the
election of Mr.. Pagan as Mayor. As to
whether Mayor. Pagan will succeed
through the courts in knocking out the
law under which the present Street and
Water Board was elected, necessarily
occasions some little uneasinsss among
employees of the Board, but this is not
any more noticeable now than since it
was announced that the Supreme Court
had reached decision in the case, and
this announcement was Smade months
ago. IL has been believed that court
was holding back the decision until after
the election, but up to noon today no
word had been received at the City Hall
concerning the decision.
Mayor Fagan did not appear at his
Office this morning. He is taking rest.
