served coffee in a set of hand-paint-
ed china cups and saucers over forty
years old. They we're beautiful, in

(Mr. Charlie McAlister) bookcase
that will measure twelve feet in
height. 1t is made of cherry and
hand made, and is over eighty years
old. Mr.. McAlister was a noted
lawyer, and 1t has been said that
nobody owned finer library than
he. Mrs. Cloar has that large book |
case in her dining room and uses IT |
for her sideboard, the upper part
serving as a china closet, as it has
large glass doors, and I'll admit
that it is grand piece OF furniture.
Uncle Jerry was IN high spirits,

health and that Uncle Jerry will get

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

Many persons in Union City are
slowly poisoning themselves by chron-
ic Indigestion. Their neglect to cure
sluggishness of the important organs
of digestion fills the system with fer
menting and decaying food that re-
suits in sick headache, heartburn, bad
taste in the mouth, and, many other
symptoms.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are for the
special relief Of such sufferers. They
quickly cure the worst cases OF indi-
gestion and when used few days the
pain and distress often felt after meals
will disappear.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost but so
cents box and do more good than a
dozen boxes Of TIE ordinary digestive
tablets. They give an absolute, un-
qualified guarantee TO refund TIL
money If Mi.o-na fails TO cure.

New York, Oct. 81. Governor

II did not seek any public office. |
have not sought, nor shall | seek,
directly or indirectly, to influence the
selection or the vote OF any delegate
to any convention and with reference
to the election of any delegate to any
convention there will be no suggestion
or thought of influence, protest or re-
prisal in the executive chamber.

command of the people it may be a
duty and even a pleasure to assume,
but it is far from being an object of
ambition

ulently from the city in four years,
are to be driven from Chicago, and, II
possible, to the penitentiaJy by a
triple alliance in which the city adj
ministration is the principal factor.
Chicago practically has completed
an arrangement with the traction com,
panies and the steam railroads enter
ing the city to carry on an offensive
and defensive campaign against these
people Besides these parties to the
alliance forty corporations, all victims
OF the personal INJURY takers, have
been invited to assist In the establish
ment of a clearinghouse for the rec
ords of professional crooks of this
character.
This action was decided IN by First
Assistant City Attorney Clyde A. Nor.
rison after it was discovered that
there were whole families which, us
ing various names, were suing the city
ON fake charges. Besides this it was
learned that the professional ..in-
valids," assisted by lawyers OF like
stripe, are living in colonies where
they assist each other in robbing the
city in systematic manner
Investigation of some of these cases
disclosed the fact that a disinterested
witness could not be found by the
city. because in an entire neighbor-
hood not a single adult could be found
who did not have suit against the

RIoTING At NEW ORLEANS
Fanaticai Excitement OF Coiored Re
liqious Sect the Cause.

New Orleans, Oct. 21-Fanatical ex-
citement OF negroes calling themselves

been the cause of the riot In which
one policeman was killed, several 9TH
ers wounded and number of negroes
badly injured The isolated house In
which half dozen negroes barrfcaded
themselves. Transforming the place
into yeritable blockhouse, which was
fired upon by policemen andScitizens
from all sides for the better part OF
two hours, proves to have been a
meeting place Of the sect. The trou-
BILE started during meeting, when
highly excited negroes drew razors on
Policeman Cambias because he at
tempted to enter the meeting to in.
vestigate reports of disturbance
caused by boys throwing stones
through the windows. Razors were
drawn across his face ard neck, NOR.
tally wounding him Many members
of the meeting then fled.
Those who remained and barricaded
themselves were well armed and
after the negroes had been smoked
into submission by burning fence
several shotguns and other firearms
were found under the Westinghouse.
Excitement in that section OF the
city where the negroes held forth grew
intense and when the arrests followed
It required the efforts of score or
more of policemen to get the negroes
through the mob and land them in the
stationhouse.
