about $3.50 o'clock Tuesday evening.

They were going east and a west bouni
freight which was pulling out, caused
them to step over close to the rails

train was approaching. The noise OF
the passing train probably prevented
them from hearing the warning signal

the solicitor to look after the cityss
interests in the appeal of the Marshall

pany from the paving assessment.
Mr.. Webster. as chairman of tho
council, opposed the portion OF the
resolution referring to the appeal from
the decision of Judge Burnham N
granting the writ OF mandamus In the
Devine case. AS far as Marshalltowil
is concerned at present Mr.. Webster
thought there was sufficient precedent
in Judge Burnhams decision. He OBJ
jected TO d statement reputed 10 have
been made by Dir. Devine shortly a.
ter the decision had been given, TO the
effect that he had been up against
the council for the first round and had
downed them, and from now on it Was

Mr.. Webster said that he regretted
that the question had ever arisen, AMI
he wanted it clearly understood that
the city council had nothing whatever
to do with the action. He believed 10
member of the council wanted to keep
any mans name off the ticket. Whi.a
the question might be good one o
have settled, he did not think 1t WIS
the city's business to go TO the eX-
pense of appealing. He defended Mr..
Derby's position, in trying to get n
the intent of the law. and cited an
instance whereby Mr.. Derby might
have Kept DR.. GetZ' name off the ticket
had he. been SO disposed in not informs
ing the doctor that his petition, under
the law, was insufficient. The warn
ing was made in sufficient time TO al
low the doctor to secure signers to q
second petition, which was filed.
Mr. kreutzer deplored the fact that
the council had been dragged in
to the controversy by any
statement Mr. Ingledue. in sup
port Of his resolution. was very point
ed and personal In his remarks ard
said that Dir. Devine already knew he
was defeated. and was simply looking
for little political thunder. He added
that the candidate opposing DIR. Deyine

than any one else to have his name Oh

City Solicitor Van Law was callea
upon for q few remarks pertaining u
the appeal and explained that in every

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But it Has Proven of Interest and Val
ue To Thousands.

Z 6QI II f1dS TTCScH VI st'sStS"s es'sS1 ' -
ue to Thousands.
Common sense would suggest that II
one wishes to become fieshy and plump
1t can only result from the food we
we eat and digest and that food should
be albuminous or flesh forming food
like eggs, beefsteak and cereals; IN
other words the kind of food that MAKE
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our Gaily bilis 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 asslmilate
It. which is the reason so many people
remain thin and under weight; the d.
eestiye organs do not completely di-
eest 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 stomacfls.
If such persons would lay their pre-
JUDGES aside and make 2 regular prac-
ttce of taking, after each meal one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested because these tablets contain
the natural peptones and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks anu
by supplying this want the stomach Is
soon enabled to regain its natural tone
and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest ev-
cry form of flesh forming food, meat.
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this IS
the reason they quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dys-
peptic men, wouNn and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong, irritating
drugs. no cathartic nor any harmful
ingredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
most successful and most widely known
of any remedy for stomach troubles be-
cause ii is the most reasonable and
scientific of modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States

Nothing further is required to cure
any stomach trouble or to make thin,
