Meriwether, Jr., of the Naval
academy at Annapolis has
raised the query whether a
false sense of honor prevails to a large
tendance at this institution. The Unit
ed States Military academy. like other
academies where instruction for naval
or military service is impaired, has
many time honOred traditions, and the
conduct of students is often governed
more by them than by the regularly
adopted and published rules of the
school. Midshipman Meriwether had
q disagreement with fellow student
named James II. Branch, Jr. Meri-
wether Is alleged TO have insulted
Branch, applying to him the epithets
''sneak" and coward" According to
the code of honor said TO prevail
among many students at Annapolis,
this necessitated a challenge from the
person insulted In former times the
difference would have been settled by
pistols or swords. but as dueling Is
not allowed In these days the fist fight,
with referee. timekeeper and seconds.
has been substituted. Meriwether be-
longs to the third class at the academy.
and Branch belonged TO the second.
Meriwether thought he was being ill
treated by Branch, his superior officer
in the cadet organization, and took the
matter up with his class.
1t Is said that the class to which
Branch belonged directed him to chal-
lenge and that Meriwether's class di-
rected him to accept the invitation TO
combat At any rate, the contest was
held in strict accordance with the IN
written rules OF the code OF honor.
which, it Is reported, is not only accept
ed BY the students OF the academy. but
Endorsed by the officers Of the navy.
These provide that the contestants
shall fight stripped TO the waist for
twenty eight rounds IL able to stand UP
that long When II is considered that
matches between pugilists are usually
limited TO less number OF rounds
than this and that even then the men
are trained for weeks beforehand for
the contest. the severity of a struggle
in which two youths Of less than TWEEN
II and without any training fight for
such a length of time is apparent
Branch received injuries from which
he died two days afterward. and steDs
were at once taken By the head OF the
navy department, Secretary Bonaparte.
Tor a full investigation OF the whole
subject The case brings up not only
the question OF aboIishing fights OF this
character. but the proprietY OF many

Weuld Grant Petition.-A meeting of

Would Grant Petitions-A meeting Of
the committee of the whole of the city
council was held on Tuesday evening
The greater part of the evening was
spent in discussing the petition of the
Moline Pillow company asking for per-
mission TO lay track along the west
side of Fourteenth street from Fourth
avenue TO the paper mill property on
the north side of Third avenue. This
petition granted, F. G.. Allen. of the
Moline Plow company. says that his
company will erect a large structure.
perhaps. 10 stories high. in the future
in the course of year. On account
of some opposition 10 the use of the
street for railroad track. the council
did not take definite action. and al
though the greater number of the aid
ermen thought that the petition ought
10 be granted in view of the great
building that will be erected. they
thought it better and a fairer means
TO delay action for some weeks TO give
opposing factions time 10 show reason
why the track privileges should not
be granted.
poultry show is in progress and the at
tendance has been rather light owing
10 the cold weather The show opened
yesterday. and today the prizes will
be awarded TO the competitors. Elk
hibitors from all parts of the state
have brought their fowls to the show
and some very choice birds are in the
exhibit. number of well known Mo
line chicken fanciers have their birds
entered and they expect to carry off
some of the prizes.
Permission to Merge.-Word has
been received here by the officials of
King Philip and Multnomah tribes OF
Red Men that the great incohonee had
granted the dispensation which is nee
essary TO be had before the proposed
merger of the two tribes could take
place. The deal will be completed and
a meeting of the two tribes will be
held tomorrow night, when Multno-
NAH Red Men will become fullf1edged
King Philips.
Wall in Street.-It is understood on
good authority that G. H. Deere and
the city of Moline are having a little
trouble over a retaining wall that Mr..
Deere is having erected. The wall is
being built along Eleventh avenue. and
according to reports is nine feet on
the city's property. 1t is a cement wall
and is being built for the purpose of
keeping the property-the large brick
barn-from washing into the street OF
course, the wall is a necessity, but the
fact that it is built upon the city's
property caused someone to make a !
complaint to the city officials. 1t is !,
not known just what attitude will be
taken by the city upon the matter, and !
the proposition will probably come be- |
fore the council at the next regular |
meeting.
Opens Monday.-The Moline Foun-
dry company. launched by John r.
Weeks, Peter Kali and S. S. Hoffman,
will begin work next Monday in the
foundry building just completed OH
ground purchased on Sixth street be-
tween Third avenue and the railroad |
tracks. Gray iron castings only will
be made for the present, and the out
put of the foundry will probably be !
taken by local concerns for months to
come In time the company will add to I
its capacity and reach out for other
trade.

Many people imagine they have
"Palpitation of the Heart" ard take
drugs to retard the heart beats.
1t IS true some cause or other may be
stimulating the hearts action.
The drug does not remove the cause,
but just slows down the heart by main
force.
The situation then is this -
Something is pushing and something
pulling force acting one way, one
force another, and the heart has to
stand the strain. 1t can't stand it in
definitely.
AS j matter of fact, so-Called Heart
Palpitation" is generally caused by
pressure from gases which distend the
stomach, and those gases come from
indigestion.
DR.. RICHARDS METHOD OF
TREATMENT gets at the cauSe of the
trouble by restoring perfect digestion.
Every organ, every function of the
body depends upon the food we eat for
health and strength.
Therefore we must digest our food.

HER HEART
IS ALL RIGHT NOWI

For two full months never ate my meals
in comfort. The distress would begin shortly
after eating, followed by pain in the pit of
my stomach and often by severe headaches,
cold hands and feet, weakness and unbeatable
nervousness.
More than once would feel dizzy without
apparent cause, for did not then know that
dizziness could be caused by stomach troubles,
and on such occasions my alarm and fear were
considerable. I attributed that particular
symptom to heart trouble and was constantly
expecting something disastrous 10 happen,
especially when my heart would beat too
rapidly as it often did.
