Term of District Court.
During the period between the clos
ing of the docket for the January

unusual falling off in the number of
cases filed. During that time, of about
two months, there have been but thir-
ty-six new cases filed for the March
term, which opens on March 10.
The January term was noticeable
for the very few important cases tried,
and the coming term will be even more
SO. Usually the last day of filing is
marked by the number of cases rushed
in at the last moment, but this was
not the case this term, when only five
cases were filed on the last day.

How to Clear Out Your Attic.

From military post out west comes
the story of a lady who frankly adj
mits that she was once coffee drunk
ard:
For 20 years I drank coffee, all
though 1 knew that it was harmful to
me- 1 suffered from periodical ner-
vous headaches which the physician
said were caused by the use Of coffee.
/ was indeed confirmed coffee drunk
ard
II suffered so intensely from head
aches as to require the services of a
nurse. 1 could find no tablets or pow
ders that would give me any perma-
nant relief and / was compelled to just
let the headache take it's course. Each
attack used to last for day or two.
"After 1 married and had the cares
of family I found I was becoming
a nervous wreck, and the strain be-
came uncomfortable. Something had to
be done, and concluded to try Postum
Food Coffee, giving up the old kind al
together.
II made it rich and strong, accord
ing to directions, and drank it with
plenty of good cream. 1t proved to be
delicious. 1t took several days for the
coffee poison to work out of my sys-
tenn but 1 persisted and won out, and
great was my reward! Renewed en-
ergy and vigor came to me and 1 i'm
proved so that my neighbors observed
and remarked upon it.
During all the year that I have
used Postum l have not had single
headache, proof conclusive that my old

Needless Alarm.


Here's poor man coughing away
his lungs--at least SO his relatives
think.
It's cough, cough; hack, hack, hack;
all day ard sometimes all night.
Must be consumption think the
alarmed ones
And of course, there is always a pos
sibility that they may be right.
But in most cases, they're wrong;
because Dyspepsia is so much more
common than Consumption.
And Dyspepsia causes chronic cough.
Just like Consumption.
The dyspeptic cough, it is well to
remember. can be quickly cured by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
No need to be alarmed about t,
unless you make up your mind to ne
glect it.
Then, indeed, you must look out for
danger; for the Dyspeptic Cough often
grows into a Consumptive Cough II
neglected, by the constant lung irrita-
ton which it causes.
So the best way is to waste no time,
but begin at once the use of these ia
nous little tablets, the timely use OF
which has saved many a sick person
from ending in consumptive's grave.
Remember, however. if you please,
that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
positively NOT cure Consumption, but
prevent it.
OF course, they can always be de-
pended on to cure all the other symp-
toms of indigestion.
They are. universal cure, for one
universal disease.
They cure nothing else. but what
they do, they do thoroughly and we'll
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
result of The most thorough investi-
CATION into the inside causes and the
cure, Of Indigestion, that has ever been
attempted
They have solved a problem, the
answer to which a hundred thousand
physicians in America are today CROP
Ing for in vain.
They cure the most severe. long
continued chronic, complicated cases or
INDIGESTION that can be found. They
are far ahead of the most modern med
ical practice, because the most success
full physicians of the day. in the cure
of diseases of the digestive organs are
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as a
basis for their success
They stoop to stuart's to conquer.
And Stuart's lift them up out OF
the rut.
If, therefore, you are victim of this
dread disease, which counts it's victims
by the million, brace up and take new
heart, for you cannot fail to cure your
trouble, if you will only put your faith
In this great remedy, Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets.
They are positively, frankly, truly,

Comparison With Vote.

In the last general election therc
was a total of 2,400 ballots cast in the
city for president, of which 1,471 We're
for Roosevelt. The remaining 929 were
for the democratic, prohibitionist and
socialistic candidates. This shows
trifle over three out of every five votes
to have been cast by republicans. or
three fifths of the total vote. AT the
last city election there was total OIL
2,763 votes cast for mayor. Allowing
an increase of $50 in the vote over last
spring, from a gain in population.
would make the total vote in the city
now, 1913, and applying the same ratio
of three-fi republican, would show
practically 1850 votes of republicans,
entitled to vote at Tuesdays primary.
The difference, therefore, in the num-
Der entitled to vote and the registered
voters is 1873, which, it is believed,
practically represents the number of
registered voters not entitled to vote,
at a republican caucus or primary
These votes will be challenged.
Polls Open at 1880.
The polls for the primary will be
open at 1880 Tuesday morning, and
will close at o'clock. The hour Is
made early in order to allow travelling
men of the city who might want to
leave town on morning train an OPP
portunity to vote. The polling places
in the different wards will be as fol-
lows:
First ward-American Dispatch Of
flee, No. 20 North First avenue.
Second ward = Old Osman jewelry
store, No. Is West Main street
Third ward-County supply house,
office of Poormaster Pemberton, No.
Is South First street.
Fourth ward South Third avenue

Registration With Previous Voting.

The registration for the republican
primary election, which will be held
tomorrow, was brought to a close at Z
o'clock Saturday evening, when a total
of 1888 votes was found to have been
registered. 1t is known from the reg
istration that several members of 9TH
err political parties expect to vote at
Tuesdays election, and from a COM
parison of the results of previous cleo
tions it is doubly certain that others
than republicans have registered. A
strict system of challenging will be
prosecuted at each polling place in the
city.
The registry books in the various
wards have been checked over by dis
interested republicans, and all known
democrats, prohibitionists and socialis-
lists will be challenged. 1t will be
necessary for all challenged to swear
in their vote by taking oath that they
voted the republican ticket at the last
general election, and that they will
support the republican nominees of the
primary. If this is not done the votes
will not be accepted.
