STATE PRESS RALLYING.

The press of the state is rallying
nobly to the call of the people in
defense of the Nolan reciprocal de-
murrage bill. The Mortified News
heartily endorses the bill and says:
IF the house defeats this righteous meas
ure the people of the state will, we believe,
administer the most singing rebuke ever
given to legislative body. 1t is to be
hoped that regardless of the terrible power
of money being used and the combined
pressure being exerted against the bill,
that the members of the house will show
an independence of cooperative power and
a loyalty to the people which will land a
Knockout blow straight and clean between
the eyes OF the greedy railway monster
which assumes that it owns the state.'

Suddenly three or four country
newspapers took the matter up and
explained just what the bill meant.
The thing travelled. Within week
the people were bearing down on
their representatives. So effectual
was the voice of the people that
when the bill first came up in com

President Roosevelt pleased a
large bunch of the old line Mime
sofa republicans when he announced
the appointment of Col. G. H. Graves
of Duluth as envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary to
Sweden and Norway. Col. Graves
was speaker of the 1889 session of
the Legislature and for the past 10
years has been a member of the
state capitol commission. He has
always been an answering and
enthusiastic republican, giving
much of his time and money to aid
the cause. Nowhere in the state
will there sbe any dissatisfaction
over his,selection, while wherever
he is known, the President will be
eulogized for the recognition. In
connection with the Colonel's ap-
pointment, also came the announce

that would make as good consuls,
and have done really more for their
party than has Col. Estes. But

A DANGEROUS HABIT
Gladstone's Physician Gives Warn
ing Against Growing Ameri-
can Custom.

The growing habit amongst Amer
leans of taking mint tablet or
some other so called digestive after
eating heatry meal, is something
that Sir Andrew Clarke, Mr.. Glad
stones physician advises strongly
against, saying. 1T is absolutely
dangerous to take into the stomach
remedies which are popularity sup
posed to aid in the digestion of
food. -
There is nothing known to the
science of medicine that can per-
form the work of the human .stom-
ach. Drugs do not and cannot di-
gest the food. They simply decom-
pose it. What can be more revolt
ing or disgusting than the thought
of taking something into the stom-
ach that is going to turn the good
food you have eaten into mass of
corruption.
The only way to overcome indi-
gestion and it's evil effects is to re-
move all irritation, congestion and
Inflammation from the stomach, liv-
er an intestines, and Mona is the
only agent known that will do this.
When Mi-o-na tablet is taken
before each meal every trace of ir-
ritation and Inflammation is re-
moved from the stomach and diges-
tive system, and those organs will
extract from the food all that goes
to make good, rich blood, firm mus
Gle, steady nerve and sound, healthy
body. If you suffer from headaches,
indigestion, flatulency. spots before
the eyes, vertigo or dizziness, pal
pitation OF the heart, sleeplessness,
or any stomach trouble, get a so
cent box of Mi-o-na, from H. M.
Hitchcock, one OF the most reliable
druggists, whose faith in the rem
edy is shown by his offer to return
the money if Mi o-na does not give
complete satisfaction.

misfortune as long as he could and
accept the crash only when it came.
Friends of Hammond state that even
to the last moment he maintained
the nerve necessary for the bust
ness and always went on the theory
that he would eventually recover
his lost fortune-a fortune which
he had wrenched from innocent
lambs.
