Strength depends on 49,
nutrition. When the
stomach and other organs OF digestion
and nutrition are diseased, the body fails
to receive its full supply of nourishment
and hence grows weak. That is why no
man is stronger than his stomach.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and the
allied organs Of digestion and nutrition:
The food eaten is then perfectly digested
and assimilated and the body is made
strong in the only possible way-by nn-
triton.

slarized some time Tuesday night ana
: large quantity of goods carried away.
The burglars gained entrance into the
atore by breaking In one OF the PACK

garments. several bolts OF silk ana otn-
er small articles. No clue at all as 10
the burglars could be found. Ihey

made their way out. and the loss was
not discovered until Wednesday morn

work OF transients. A number of trav-
cling statesmen who carry varied as
aortment of goods have been passing
thru this part Of the state lately ana
the officers are inclined to think that
II was done by some of these dishon-
cat merchants. Whoever II was took a
varied assortment which could not pos
sibly be OF any use except to a dealer
oS such goods.

TOURNAMENT AT MAXWELL.
Schedules Of Games For Mondays Big
Tournament.
SnAcfaI to Times Republican.

Special to TtmeS-Repubiican.
Nevada, Aug. 1.-THE schedule of
games and the program for MAXWELL
annual base ball tournament Monday,
August Is, is now completed, and 1t
promises TO be one Of the most sue
cessful events of the kind ever pulled
of in the county. Four games are
scheduled, and they are SO arranged
that they are reasonably certain to be
close games. The first game between
Maxwell and Cambridge and the sec
Ond between Elkhart and Bondurant.
Both Of these combinations have play
ed several close games this season, and
the Cambridge tournament is destined
to determine the supremacy. The first
game in the afternoon Is between Per-
~ and Jamaica, two OF the fastest
amateur teams In central Iowa. and a
game fully as good as the average
league game may be counted on. The
fourth game of the series is between
the famous colored team OF Saylorville
and the Colo Rex Sox. Colo has a juv-
emile team this season that has played
marvellous ball considering their size,
having defeated several of the best
teams in this part of the state, and
they are likely to put up an article of
ball that will bring CONSERVATION to the
hearts of the dusky miners from Say
lorville. The business men OF Maxwell
have the tournament In charge. and are
doing everything In their power to
make it success. There is likely to
be crowd of from two to three hun
dred from Nevada.
