ENsNARING VICTIMS.
Steps Should Be Taken at Once to
Prevent Further Trouble.

Here in Union City, as in other cit
les and towns, dyspepsia or stomach
troubles are ensnaring victims in a
most insidious way.
Nearly every mothers son of us, and
daughters, too. expects the stomach
to accustoh itself to all manner of i'll
treatment, but the time comes when
we cannot abuse it with impunity.
How much better it would be to take
steps at once to strengthen the stom-
ach and prevent further trouble.
Use Mi-o-na now and soothe the irri.
tated walls of The stomach and
strengthen the gastric follicles so that
they will pour out their daily supply
of digestive materials with regular
ity. Then the headaches, sleepless-
ness, specks before the eyes, poor appe-
tite, tired feelings and nervousness
will disappear, aud you can eat what
you want at any time you like.
Mi-o-na is a combination of reme-
dies, some of which are but little
known in this country, and Is posi-
tive guaranteed cure for all diseases
Of the stomach excepting cancer.
Just one little tablet out of 80 cent
box before meals, for a few days, and
you will soon regain perfect health
and strength, and have no fear of indi-
yestion or stomach troubles Ask the
Red Cross Pharmacy to show you the
guarantee under which they sell this
emedy.

National Stock Yards, H., Feb
IA, 1906.-Beef steers show IS to q
cents advance over a week ago
Fancy grades are quotable at SIS rs
to So, IS, but are scarce. There are
good many of the pretty good
SIS 90 to SIS so grades coming, yet
the bulk are of medium quality and
sell mostly at 81 so to SIS 90. Some
choice fat yearlings are selling up
to So 20.
Butcher grades of cows and heif-
ers sold stronger until yesterday
when there was a little reaction.
The demand is good, however, at
the following quotations: Choice to
fancy heifers, $4 so to $500; good
to choice, 81 90 to 81 so; medium to
good, So IS to 81 90; choice heavy
fat cows, So rs to 81 40; medium

enough to bring these prices are
higher but the bulk of the receipts
are common quality and somewhat
neglected. Choice milk cows are
selling from S42 so to SIS 90; fair to
good kinds, $4,000 to $40 90 and
common ones $1,000 to SIS 90.

some Farmers Are Yet Picking Cot
ton. Bad Weather Cause of 1t.
The unusual sight of cotton picking
in January, when preparations
for making the next crop are al
ways begun, is now seen on some Ter
rell county farms-a thing which a
large majority of people have never
seen or known of before.
This unusual spectacle is not due to
large crops, however, but to the fact
that bad weather has seriously inter-
fered with the gathering of late cot
ton. The present crop is cOnsidera-
bly, smaller than the former one.
The receipts in Dawson by wagon
up to yesterday at noon were q, 1873
bales. Except in few isolated cases
the crop has all been gathered, and
not exceeding 100 bales more are ex-
pected before the next season opens.
The market has showed tendency
toward weakness the past few days,
and at the time of going to press
middling was quoted at 103 cents.
There are about 5000 bales in the
warehouses of Dawson, a greater pOr-
ton of which is being held for 10
cents
