that County Attorney Jesse A. Miller
is drawing an Indictment against Cen
eral Manager George nj. Hippee of the
Des Moines Street Railway Company
and A. NJ. Hadley, an employe of
President ]. S. Polk of the same com
pany, on the charge of bribing a Des
Moines alderman. The same facts sub
stantially that are before the grand
Jury now in this case were before the
grand jury early in the session. Dur
ing the last week or ten days thefe
have been forces at work and 1t S
more than likely that the threat of
calling a public Indignation meeting in
case there was no Indictment has hal
great deal to do with working what
seems to be "a change in the situation.
Whether or not there is an indict-
ment will be known in a few days.
The grand jury meets Wednesday at
ter few days recess in changing from
the old court house to the new one.
This week will be the last week it viii
be in session The mass meeting is
now being held in allegiance which IS
an indication that the Civic League IS
becoming satisfied that after all there
is to be an indictment. The criminal
docket in the district court is pretty
we'll cleaned up and it will be diff
cult for the attorneys for the street
car company to secure delay in the
hearing of the case, or at least to Sc
cure plausible excuse for delay.
However, the company has about ev-
cry able lawyer in the city except one
or two that are regularly employed by
the Civic League. On the street rail-
ways side Of the case is Judge VIM.
Spurrier, who was formerly a lawyer
at Creston, Iowa. Mr.. Spurrier will
probably head the list of the attorneys
for the defense.
If N. T. Guernsey who is the reg
ular street railway attorney, is not ac-
lively in the case, he will at least
not be for the state With Judge
Spurrier will be the firm of Carr, He
witt, Parker & Wright, and Read &

On the side of the state assisting the
county attorney will probably be the

Catarrh Of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fsctuaI Cure for 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.


Catarrh of the, stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases.
causing pressure on the heart and
i lungs and difficult: breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
general played out, languid feeling.
There Is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and If the inter-
Tor of the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny. inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digesteid before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces Of the stomach. To
secure prompt and healthy digestion
Is. the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
= catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a. little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tab
lets can now be found at all drug stores
under the name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. and not being patent medi-
cine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
