WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance O
 Good Digestion UntII It is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do not know it. They feel mean. out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well, do not have good keen appetite, do not have the inclination and energy for physical or mental work they once had, but at the same time do not feel any particular pain or distress in the stomach Yet all this is the result of poor digestion, an insidious form of Dyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially intended to cure it and make the digestive organs act naturally and properly digest the food eaten. Bitters. after dinner pills and nerve tonics will never help the trou- ble; they don't reach it. The new medical discovery does. It is called stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is a specific for dyspepsia and indigestion. It cures because it thoroughly digests all wholesome food taken into the stomach, whether the stomach Is in good working order or not.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. by digest ing the food, isstead of making the worn out stomach do all the work, gives it much needed. rest and a cure of dyspepsia is the natural result.
 When you are nervous, run down and sleepless, don't make the common mistake of supposing your nervous system needs treatment and fill your stomach with powerful nerve tonics which make you feel good for little while only to fall back farther than ever
 Your nerves are all right but they are starved, they want food.
 Nourish them with wholesome every day food and plenty of t, well di- gested, and you can laugh at nerve tonics and medicines.
 But the nerves will not be nour- ished from a weak, abused stomach. but when the digestion has been made perfect by the use of this remedy all nervous symptoms disappear.
 Who ever heard of man or woman blessed with a vigorous digestion and good appetite being troubled with their nerves?
 Good digestion means q strong ner- vOus system, abundance of energy, and capacity to enjoy the good things of life.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cer- tainly set your stomach and digestive organs right: they cant help but do it because they nourish the body by digesting the flood eaten, and rest the stomach.
 You get nourishment and rest at one and the same time, and that is all the worn out dyspeptic needs to build him up and give new life to every organ and an added zest to every pleasure.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a god-se to the army of men and women with weak stomachs and nerves and justly merits the claim of being one of the most worthy medical dis coveries of the time.

for base, find ready sale and arc drunk with avidity The rbootlegger'' who procures his supplies in Oklahoma. Arkansas and Texas and brings them into the. territory by obscure and little frequented roads in q covered wagon is found in most towns and in many rural communities m boxes of mer- chandise. barrels of fruit. vegetables and other products. The disposer, if old at the business. may flourish for many months before being caught. The profits being so large a quart of very poor whiskey selling for $3 or S4. he is willing to run the risk of jail sen- tence.
 Cider Is another intoxicant which causes the officers much trouble. A barrel of fresh Arkansas sweet apple juice which has not undergone fer menation may be introduced without the importer violating the law. A few weeks exposure to the genial rays of an Indian Territory sun results in in ducing fermentation. and the harmless liquid Is transformed into an ardent drir k. which maxes Choctow Indian desire. to 'gobble" as soon as he has imbibed a few quarts of 1t.
 In the Choctow Nation. and especially in the towns and cities in the coal land segregation, the favorite and almost universal beverage is Choctow beer better known as chock The manu- facture of the beverage was intro duced by the Scotch and English min CTS It Is identical with the home brewed beer of the English yeomanry, The materials from which the beer is brewed are barley. malt and hops. with the additions of grape sugar and some- times rice. Malt and hops and the other materials are kept in stock at all grocery and general stores throughout the mining districts and are as staple as sugar and coffee.
 The apparatus necessary for brew ing Choctaw beer is very simple, con sisting of a brass kettle or zinc wash tub and a stout keg The malt and hops are boiled together and strained iEto the keg and the sugar added. The mixture is allowed to stand for three to six days. according to the state of the weather, when it is fit to drink and produce the collaboration so much sought after by the bibulously inclined. By varying the quantity of malt used the beer can be made mild or as stout as porter.
 The prevention of the manufacture of Choctaw beer is one of the most puzzling problems that confronts the officers charged with the enforcement of the law It Is made in more than half of the houses In the mining camps for family use and a great deal of it is brewed to sell. Those who manu- fracture it for sale are in most cases widows whose husbands have lost their lives in the mines and when a deputy marshal arrests one of these women and carries her to jail, leaving a fam fly of children to the mercise and char ity of the neighbors, he Is the recip- lent of the indignation of the com munitS, and the sympathy of judges and juries usually results in the of- fender being let off with an admoni- tion. In view of this fact the officers content themselves with spilling the beer when their attention is called to 1t and destroying the vessels contain ing it.

The undisputed. evidence shows that on final settlement with the con tractor. at the time the building was turned over to the Kahl Montgomery, he had not been overpaid the amount stipulated in the contract, and that he was paid upon final certificate from the architect which conformed in legal effect to the provisions of the contract In that regard. It Is entirely immateri- al, therefore. whether all OF any of tho intermediate payments were made up- on proper certificate, or in advance of the proper time.

Manufacturing establishments nat urally look for the latest machines to install in their shops and factories, to enable them to turn out their fin ished products in the most perfect and most econominal manner. Thus hand work is reduced to the lowest possible limit.
 But these same corporations seldom trouble themselves to eliminate hand work in their offices. They look upon the employment of an army of clerks as necessary evil
 Book keeping By Machinery" is tho title of new book which describes the use and coordination of the various means of mechanical computation now on the market, and shows that much of the drudgery of bookkeeping may actually be performed by machinery in q more accurate and rapid manner than by hand.
 Tn the production of most books of this kind. dealing with the description and advocacy of machines which are for sale. there Is general tendency. consciously or unconsciously to lapse into catalogue phrases. The present book is singularly free from this style. and produces the impression of having been written from the the standpoint of the user rather than the maker of the machines.
 This book will appeal particularly to managers of large offices.

How Indian Territory Miners Evnde

 Colgate, l. T.-Indian Territory has larger constabulary than any section of the United States. Every city or town of any pretentions has United States deputy marshal. and many are appointed in the rural districts. In addition to the force of federal mar shals there is a constable appointed for each United States commissioner and several hundred Indian policemen. serving under authority of the various Indian nations and clothed with the same powers as the federal officials Each city and incorporated town has one or more marshals, which swells the list to the magnitude of small army.
 Two-thirds of the arrests made by this force of officers are persons charg- ed with the violation of the United States liauor laws. Three offenses are named in the law-introducing, selling. and manufacturing liquor.

GOES TO THE JURY
SUIT OF TEMPLE BETH-oR AGAINST
 CONTRACTORS SURETY.
Judge Jones Delivers n Lengthy and Lucid Charge--Jurors Will Begin Deliberations
 This Morning.

After a trial lasting through nine days. Judge Thomas G. Jones yesterday turned the case of Kahf Montgomery vs. the Fidelity and Deposit Company. snreties for Hood & Company, the con- tractors who built the Temple Beth-Or. over to the consideration of the jury. That body was then excused until 9 o'clock this morning, when 1t will meet again. to go over the mass of testi- mony that has been presented by the lawyers of the two contending par ties.
 The case is one which has attracted unusual attention throughout the city, both because of the nature of the grounds upon which the plaintiff is su- ing for damages, and because of the number of knotty legal questions which have been injected into 1t.
 The amount denominated in the suit as that which the plaintiff seeks to re- cover is SI0,090. Hood & Company were the contractors which erected Temple Beth-or. This structure, when completed. was accepted by the super xising architect, and sfterward. 1t is alleged, was found to have been fault fly constructed. Owing to these faults, the plaintiffs aver, repairs had to be made, involving the expenditure of large sums of money. For these ex- penditures it has been aimed to hold the Fidelity and Deposit Company, the sureties for the building company, re- sponsible.
 When the case first came to the pres ent term of the United States Court five days and half were taken up in plead fngs before it was prepared to pre- sent to the jury. Every point in the struggle has been bitterly contested by the lawyers of the contending parties.
 The arguments of the counsel occu- pi-d the greater part of both morning and afterenoon sessions yesterday When these were concluded Judge Jones delivere1 his charge to the jury. in- structing it to go to jury room this morning.
 Judge Jones charged the jury orally, stating. however, that upon the con trolling questions of the case he had written out his charge so that the jury could have it for reference in their de- Alterations. Tffe written part of the charge Is as follows
 Hood & Company delivered to the Kahl Montgomery the structure which the Kahl Montgomery accepted. as an apparent completion on the part of Hood and Company of the terms of the building contract between them. This acceptance of the building does not relieve Hood and Company of the obligation to make good any defects, in consequence of improper material or work lily done, if discovered with in one year. If Hood and Company erected the building in a workman like manner and with proper material and in accordance with the plans and specifications. that firm can not be held responsible. whatever the defects Sn the building or when discovered The defects, in such event, would re- suit from the plans and not from the manner in which they were executed. Hood and Company did not contract that a building erected in accordance

Tnrret PrnctIce Held.

The vessels of the coast squadron are hard at work each day engaging in target practice. and from reports re- ceived from the ships some excellent scores are being recorded. The pres ent practice is with small arms, and is being done in the harbor. just off the navy yard. As soon as this por- tion of the practice is completed it is expected the vessel will go out into the gulf for firing with the large cali bre guns. Targets are now ready to be lowed out for use at any time the ships may get ready.
 The collier Leonidas, which was sent here last week to load a cargo of tar gets for the big fleet at Guantanamo Bay. and which had taken on a large number, received orders Saturday af- ternoon to cease loading. The change in orders Is taken to mean that the big fleet will shortly arrive at Pensa- cola for the practice.

Are Patent
 Medicines Frauds? ]?

We are often asked the above question, and our answer has irl- variably been that no medicine that gives satisfactory results could be fraudulent. We could not afford to sell fraudulent medi- cines. Our business depends on pleased customers-in fact any business does. Therefore, we would take an enormous risk did we not fulfil every promise made our customers. We are very care full of what we guarantee, and when we do guarantee an article we must know it pretty we'll what it contains and how it is made. We have in mind the Rex all line of remedies, particularly Rexall Mucu-T Tone, of which we are selling large quantities at this time of the year. Mucu-T Tone is one article that we can recommend over our counter and know that rlinety-eight per cent. of its pur- chasers are going to be benefited and will return to our store pleased customers. Mucu-Ton is a positive cure for internal scrofula or what is commonly called Catarrh. It is without doubt the peer of all tonics for any one who is suffering from rundown condition, can't work, feels constantly tired or suffering from the more plainly described symptoms of Catarrh-such as stopping of the nose, cold in the head or bad cough"
 Ii must be remembered that Ca- tarr1 is not confined to the nose and throat. It usually starts there, but it leads more often to serious trouble, particularly the wasting of tissues, as in the case of little Miss Dillon, of Albany. Here is a letter from her father:
 My little girl had catarrh so badly that the disease had begun to eat into the cartilage of the nose. Snuffs and instruments failed to do more than give tenn porary relief. I saw the adver- tisements of Rexall Mucu-T Tone, but I could not believe that any thing taken in the stomach could cure the sore membranes of the nose. However, I took advan- tage of your free trial offer and my girl began taking your remedy according to directions. I want to say right here that Mucu-T Tone is certainly the greatest medical discovery of the times, and to thank you for the liberal offer that first induced me to give it trial. Muco-Tone has cured my daughters catarrh completely. The discharge has stopped alto gether, and her breath is as sweet as can be. Again thanking you, MATT. DILLON, 24 N. Swan St., Albany, N. Y."
 We are selling large trial bot tie of Mucu-Tone for fifty cents on the famous Rexall guarantee of yourmoney back if you are not satisfied. We promise that one bottle will put flesh on your bones and bring new vitality to your system.
