\ SILENT PANIC.

With crops all over the country req sonably good and bringing fair prices, with almost all industries in the country prospering, the bears on Wall street have almost precipitated a f. nancial panic.
 In less than two months stock val ues, as quoted in New York, have de- creased one billion dollars.
 It may be safely assumed, however, that the stock that has so greatly de- clined was watered and the value heretofore quoted too high. But it shows a bad state of affairs when a few men on Wall street can depress the market so as to bring on what has heretofore been termed "a silent

panic," and this too, in the face of the fact that the country generally is prospering as never before i'll It's hls- tory.
 The loss in values has, of course, not been real. It is in the very nature of things, a fictitious loss. Specuia- tors have lost money; some of the big fish have eaten the little ones.
 The worst feature of the raid of the bears' is that they are keeping the price of cotton down. But the law of supply and demand is bound to reassert itself and the trading in thin air must come to a close. when stocks of all kinds will return to their normal values.

Get, Rid Of That Indigestion at Once
by Using Mi-o-na.

Either through slackness Of care
lessness hundreds Of people slowly
poison themselves by chronic indiges-
ton. By neglecting to cure at once
any sluggishness Of the important or
gans of digestion the system is filled
with fermeting and decaying food that
results in sick headaches, heartburn,
bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue,
specks before the eyes, sleeplessness,
nervous troubles and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result
Of Indigestion.
The want Of a perfectly safe yet eff
fective cure for indigestion and stom-
ach troubles in their many forms was
felt up TO the time of the successful
Investigations that resulted In the pro-
duction of Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
They quickly cure the worst cases OF
Indigestion, and the pain and distress
which are often felt after meals dis
appear in a very few days-such is the
wonderful curative power of Mi-o-na
The old-fashioned medicines for
stomach troubles merely digest the
food, while Mi-o-na strengthens the d.
gestive organs so that they soon be-
come able to care for the food that Is
eaten.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost but

than dozen boxes of the ordinary
digestive tablets. Tallman & Co. give
