ruled this clause as it is shown on the
register that there is more than TWEEN

Board to try county toficers, Achi
further claimed that given that the
charges were true and made in the

chairman Achi stated further that
the charges were not sworn to. This
was overrued as being irrelevant,

A Case of Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia is caused by acute inflammation of
the nerves of the stomach.
1t is by nervous energy that the muscles of
the stomach contract and expand, and the di-
gestive fluids are secreted The muscular walls
of the stomach must be kept in vigorous action
until the process of digestion is made complete.
The nerve hbres, like other tissues of the
body, may become inhamed and diseased by
neglect or other causes then they must be
nourished and their strength restored. 1t is
when the nerve fibres are overstrained by I
worry of mind, overtaxing or neglect that they
become exhausted and weak.
Dyspepsia is but one instance where the
vital nerve force is necessary
Discomfort, ll-temper, low spirits despond-
ency dizziness, sick headache heartburn pal
pitation of the heart, distenson of the stomach,
are some of the many forms that dyspepsia
takes =
The true cure must be the restoration to
strength of the nerves which govern the digestive
organs. q

ATTORNEY BLAND FOUND
BIG QUANTITY OF GOODS
Bankruptcy Trustee Says He Has the
Evidence-Bail Refused for
Present.

Attorney S. Otis Bland. who was re-
ceiver in bankruptcy for Max Fclstein
and who has been IN New York for
several days tracing goods alleged to
have been shipped away secretly by
the bankrupt, returned to the city yes
terday.
Mr.. Bland says that he found about
$1,000 worth of goods which had been
shipped to New York by Fclstein and
stored for him. He thinks he will
have no difficulty in proving that the
bankrupt sent the goods from here
just before filing the petition. The
total stock sold for the benefit of Eel
STEMS creditors was appraised at on
ly $4,000. so If tho trustee is on the
right trail the bankrupt must have
made away with more than half his
stock before filing the petition.
In Richmond yesterday Judge Wad.
dill refused to admit Felstein to bail,
but said that he would give the mat.
ter consideration after receiving a re-
port from Mr.. Bland. Captain c. C.
Berkeley. counsel for the prisoner,
was in court to represent him.
Fclstcin has waived thu preliminary
hearing and will he taken to Norfolk
for trial in the District Court.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS. sCANT.
Effect of Cutting Of Corporation
Help.

NEW YORK, October 13.-The republican
state committee up to the present time has
received only one-tenth as much money in
campaign contributions as any year since
1891. This announcement was made by
Chairman Woodruff after a long confer
ence with George r. Sheldon, treasurer of
the state committee. Mr.. Woodruff said
that the falling off in contributions was
due to the recent law forbidding corpora
lions to contribute to campaign funds, and
that the situation which has resulted is so
serious that something must be done at
once. He said that just now he Is sending
letters to republicans all over the state re-
questing financial aid for the campaign
I'VE don't hesitate to say" Mr.. Woodruff
declared, that in former years approx
mately so per cent of the campaign con-
tributions came from the corporations, and
the republican party, knowing that last
year that the public demanded q change
from that system and in spite of the fact
of 1t being the party which profited by the
up. made and passed the law which pro-
hibits any corporation from giving anything
10 campaign fund.
while we admit that corporations con-
tributed to former campaigns, / think the
republican party is entitled to just COM
