Prisoners Attorney Secures continu-
ance Until Next Tuesday.
The preliminary hearing Of Owen
Ball. which was begun last Saturday
in Justice Millards court, and then
continued until this morning. was
again continued today until next
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. The
continuance was secured by an agree
ment between the attorneys.
Deputy Sheriff A. A. Nicholson was
at Montour Thursday, where he served
on j. H. Ball. father Of the defendant,
subpoena summoning him as a wit
ness before the preliminary hearing of
his son. The elder Ball had left word
with his wife that, If he was wanted
as witness, the sheriff might tele-
phone to the place where he was en-
ployed, six miles northeast of Mon
tour, and he would respond without the
formality Of serving him with a sub
poena. Wednesday Ball was telephoned
from the sheriff's office, and replied
that if they wanted him they would
have to come after him. This was
done, altho not without cost The Of
f1cer's fee chargeable under the law
for summoning the witness Is only
$3.50, and it cost $3.50 for livery hire
alone in getting from Montour to the
place where Ball was working. This
is to say nothing of mileage and one
meal for the officer serving the sub
poena.

OUR NATIONAL DANGER.
Time to Cry a Halt Before Panic
Comes.

Time to Cry a Halt Before Panic
Comes.
The business spirit is crushing out
the sweeter element of home life. we
are in danger Of great commercial
decline, because men, as whole, think
only OF getting wealth.
There are thousands, both men and
women, who do not take time to eat
properly. They rush thru life, and as a
result we have an age of indigestion,
nervousness, irritability. sleepless
nights, and morose disposition.
With the discovery of Mi-o-na tab
let's, there is no longer any excuse for
one to have i'll health from stomach
weakness.
Mi-o-na strengthens the walls Of the
stomach, stimulates secretion of the
digestive juices, regulates the liver and
restores muscular contraction to the
intestines and bowels, so no laxative is
needed
Sick headaches, palpitation, bad taste
in the mouth, yellow skin. irritability,
coated tongue and melancholy are a
few of the many distressing results of
indigestion. Mi-o-na never fails to
dspel all these troubles.
Mcbride & VIII sell Mi-o-na In 80
cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money If the remedy does not give
complete satisfaction.
