Only Makes a Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought of
II, but the fact must be apparent to
everyone that constipation is caused
by a lack of water in the system, and
the use OF drastic cathartics like the
old-fashioned pill only makes a bad
matter worse. Chamberlain's Stom.
ach and Liver tablets are much more
mild and gentle in their effect, and
when the proper dose is taken their
action is so natural that one can hard
ly realize it is the effect Of a medi.
cine. Try a rs cent bottle of them.

Added to Roll
Registrations in County Now But
Forty.fve Short Of Number

With two full days for registra-

only 45 short of the registration Of
two years ago. The city is "a ahead
of the last registration, while the
county is 129 short.
Yesterday 101 names were ad-
ded to the rolls, and today a much
better showing will be made, as
several persons are in the country
precincts rounding up the de.
linquents. The gain in the city
yesterday was sc, and that in the
country precincts 80. The city
jumped from 1907 to 1873, and the
country from 739 to TIA. The en-
tire county jumped from 2146 to

carte blanche, and in the course of
a few days will announce the var
ious working committees. The mer-
chants have taken hold of the cele-
bration in an enthusiastic manner
and expect to commemorate the day
in fitting fashion.
AT the meeting of the association
last evening the report of the COM
mittee appointed to canvass senti-
ment was received. The COMMITTEES
reported that it had gone to nearly
all of the business men, and that it
had raised a total of $1172. Enough
additional money was promised to
bring up the amount to $1,000.
However, the committee believed
the sum already named would be
sufficient to hold the celebration.

lso the association decided upon
holding it,
| When the committee made its
canvaSs those called upon wen
lasked whether or not their con,
ltributions to the Fourth Of July
fund would in any way tend to
lessen their regatta enthusiasm. In
practically every intsance the com,
mittee was assured that the contri.
butors would not only subscribe to
the Fourth of July fund, but that
they would also give literally to
the regatta fund. The committee
was anxious to avoid any action
that might interfere with the work
Iof the regatta committee, and its
canvass demonstrated to it that the
people of the city want both cele.
brations.
After appointing Mr.. 0'Connell
as director general. the association
selected John n. Griffin as treas
urer. Charles Abercrombie will BE-
rendered the secretaryship Of the
management committee. Mr..
0'Connell said last evening that he
would at once begin the work which
the association has mapped out for
him, and that he would probably
announce his committees within
the course of a few days.
One of the merchants who has
evinced active interest in the
Fourth of July celebration, III. j..
Wherity, of the firm of Wherity,
Ralston & Co., said last evening
that the merchants all wanted to
have a regatta this year.
"When the Fourth of July cele.
bration was first advocated, the
possible effect on the regatta was
thoroughly discussed" said Mr..
'Wherity. 1t was the general opin-
ion that, if the Fourth celebration
would interfere in any way with
the regatta, it should not be held,
but that our efforts would be con-
centrated upon the water carnival.
We determined to make a canvass
of sentiment of the city, and the
committee reports that the mer,
chants want both celebrations. They
believe we should hold all the cele-
brations possible, and, therefore,
have given their money for the
Fourth. Their subscriptions for
the regatta will be much greater
than those for the celebration of
the nations natal day"
The regatta committee will meet |
Monday night, at which time it is
probable report will be formu-
lated for presentation to the Push
Club.
