HOT WEAI HtR DEBILITY
How 10 Protect Oneself Against Heat
Fatigue and Summer Disease.

Many people are so easily affected
by the hot weather as to be capable OF
but little work during the summer
months. Inquiry among this class
will show that in nearly every instance
there is weak stomach and more or
less indigestion. Put the digestive or
gans right by using Mona stomach
tablets and the summer time will prove
the pleasantest, most desirable and en-
joyable season of the year.
One little Mona tablet before each
meal will give you life, vitality, ener-
gy and physical endurance during the
heated term and ward off the ordinary
diseases of summer. Mona is not an
ordinary summer tonic or digestive,
it is a true strengthened of the diges-
tive system, building up the organs to
perfect health and vitality by curing
the indigestion and absolutely remov-
ing all pains and distress in the stom
ach, specks before the eyes, sick and
nervous headache, and other symp'
toms that come from weakened stom-
ach.
Mona makes positive and lasting
cures and is sold by VIM L. Gokay
under an absolute guarantee that it
will cure all diseases of the stomach,
except cancer or the money will be re.
funded.
Ask him to show you the guarantee
he gives with every SOC box of Mona.

TROY, y. Y, Aug 13.-Thieyes en-
tered the grounds Of the United States
government arsenal at Watervliet and
stole brass cannon about five feet
in length ana weighing about 500
pounds. The gun was lifted over a
twelve foot wall on the bank Of the
Erie canal and carried away in a boat
It required four or five men to lift
the gun this distance, and it is con
sidered peculiar that the men escaped
detection by the guards. The com
officer at the arsenal, Lieu
tenant Colonel MacNutt, ordered that
tie matter be reported to the police.

FIRST CASE
OF FRAUD
The Maui Election Case
Shows Criminal
Intention.

A written opinion was filed yesterday
by the Supreme Court in the super
visorial election contest of w. H
Cornwell against S. f. Kaiue from
Maui county. 1t is written by Chief
Justice Frear and has the concurring
signature of Justice Hartwell
Justice Wilder concurs in the con
clusion as follows:
I'm my opinion ballots having more
names voted for on them than author
lied by law should not have been
counted for either party, but the re-
lection of those ballots would still
leave petitioner with less votes than
respondent, and / therefore concur in
the conclusion of the ma ijority
opinion.
The syllabus of opinion reads thus:
The following LallOts. all east in
the same precinct, are held invalid:
four ballots, each having a small circle
at or near the end of the lower right
leg of the cross opposite the first
name on the ballot; five ballots. each
having all the crosses well formed ex-
cept one. which was not cross such as
is required bv the statute, but was so
made in itself and added to by other
marks as to indicate an intention to
render the ballot distinguishable.'
In the body of the opinion the court.
having given details of the scrutiny of
ballots and results as previously re-
