REMOVE THE CAUSE.
How to Remedy Much Of the Suffering
in Augusta.

There is hardly a family in Augusta
where there are not one or more men,
bers who suffer at times from the
effects of weak stomach.
1t may be that this occurs only after
eating some food that does not agree.
or because Of supper late at night; or
it may be that the stomach is so weak
that scarcely any food can be eaten
without pain and distress.
The only way to treat a condition of
this kind successfully is with Mi-o-na
1t removes the cause of indigestion,
weakness Of the muscles of the
stomach and bowels, and restores the
whole digestive system to health and
the food that is eaten
When the stomach is weak, indiges-
ton is followed by fiatulence, dizziness,
headaches. sleeplessness and many
other disagreeable symptoms. The one
remedy that can be absolutely relied
upon to cure this condition is Mi-O-na,
for this removes the cause of the suf-
fering, the weakness Of the stomach
and intestinal tract and restores health
so that all food is easily digested with
out pain or suffering
Get well and strong by using
Mi-O-na tablets. Take the remedy at
the first symptom Of Indigestion, when
you can be cured easily with few
doses. However, no case of stomach
trouble is too severe or chronic for
NJ 10 ma to overcome.

under an absolute guarantee to refund
he money unless it cures. A 50-cent |
box lasts for a couple of weeks. and |
will do more real good than a dozen |
boxes Of the ordinary digestive tablets. |

Action Of assumpsit brought bv n

| by the owner for the sale of raa,
estate. the plaintiff claiming that he
procured q customer on the authorized
terms but that the defendant refused
to make the conveyance.
The Jury found for the plaintiff and
the defendant by motion asks to have
the verdict set aside on two grounds:
first. because whatever authority had
been given by him to the agent to make
a sale had been revoked by operation of
law, no sale having been made within
reasonable time. and second. because
as matter of fact. the plaintiff did
mot procure the would he purchaser
The evidence shows that the defend
ant in 1896 placed certain real estate
in the plaintiffs hands to sell at a given
price. that the defendant never with
drew the property from his hands and
thar in 1906 the plaintiff effected the
sale in question. having in the mean
time made several unsuccessful efforts
in that direction.
Held:
THAT the relation between the
parties was that Of principal and agent
That While no de!inite period of time
was agreed upon during which the
agency should continue. it's duration
was fixed in another way. Being
established for a particular purpose.
namely to sell the real estate, the
agency was presumed 10 continue un- !,
til that purpose was accomplished I'M
less sooner terminated by revocation or i
and the burden was on the !
defendant 10 rcbut this presumption. |,
1t is conceded that there was no express !
on the part of the defendant /
and the evidence also shows no revo-
cation 10y implication or by law bat
ather the acknowledged continuance Of
the agency.
Cases involving the question of reas-
enable time within which an offer of
reward is held to continue are not an
alOgOus.
1.-THE jury have found specially that
The plaintiff procured a purchaser really
and willing and able to compete the
purchase at the agreed price. The fact
that Q partner OF the would be pur-
chaser had attempted to buy direct OF
the owner and the owner had refused
10 sell, should not deprive the plaintiff
If mis- commission as he had no knOwl-
edge Of that fact and acted in good
faith. The evidence does not ~arran,

STATE HOUSE.
The November Corporation
Business Is Small.
Practically al Standsti|I. fees
For Month, $3265.
Hon. George Pottle Talks About
National Tax Conference.

Unless there should be an rnexpect-
ed boom in the corporation business
within the next three days, and that is
hardly to be expected, November will
go on record as having had the poor
est business in that line of any month
of the year. not only in the number of
corporations organized but also in the
amount received in fees. Business
in that line has been poor since the
month came in.
The number of corporate ions which
filed their certificates of organization
at the Office of the secretary of State
during the first Is days of the month
was %, all Of which were organized
under the general law. and the amount
received in fees therefror was $3.50,
which amount was below the average
in comparison with the business Of a
like period during the preceding
months of the year The business has
shown no gain during the last half of
the month, and up T. noon Tuesday.
with but four days remaining The total
number of corporations which bad filed
their certificates WAS ~. and the
amount paid in for fees was $3265 The
number Of big corporations organized
during the month, with ii capital stock
Of 81, UG0, 600 or over, is also small, there
being eight in all. The figures for the
months business may be changed
slightly, but those here given repre-
sent the approximate total.
That the corporation business of the
State has declined steadily Cor the year
is shown by the following figures
which show the receipts N fees for
each of the il months of the year:
The amount received in January was
500 eos: in February, $4,000: in March
$50, 900; in April. $4,000; in May. $9,4S0,
in June $4,000; in July. $3.50; in Au-
gust. $500: in September. $3.50; in
October, S52l5; in November, 1926
Two reasons are given for the de-
cline of the corporation business in the
State, one of which it said to be the
natural consequence which followed
the going into effect of the new fran
chise tax law enacted ny the last
Legislature. while the other without
doubt is the present StrnScncy in the
money market.

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION

The law of this State has ordained and
designated the first Monday of Septem-
Der in each year as Labor Day, thereby
giving it equal prominence with other
days set apart, respected and observed
by our people. This distinction was evil
IDENTIFY not bestowed for the purpose of
pandering to the interests or prejudices
of any class or occupation, for every one
is supposed to labor in some capacity,
not only for his own interest, but also
for the public good 1t is certainly ap-
parent that the intention is to honor la
Dor in all pursuits, recognizing capital
as very essential part, to be respected
in the harmonious adjustment of all diff
ferences that may arise.
Now, therefore, respectfully invite
the people of this State to give due OBJ
servance to the day by assembling to-
gether in friendly council, and discuss
ing conditions in dispassionate way,
and not to be influenced by inhamma-
tory speeches made by professional agi-
tators from any source whatever The
differences heretofore encountered have
been controlled and compromised with
out permanent loss in value, and with
out violence to human life. This con-
sentative method existing between cap
ital and labor has given confidence in
the future progress of Nevada beyond
the proud position now held To COM
mand respect, law and order must al
ways control. Let us continue to be
Just to each other and all will prosper
In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto
set my hand and cause the Great Seal of
State to be affixed. Done at Carson

SOMETHING new IN BUILDING

The Lashbaugh and Lamberton build
ing, which is going up on Main street,
just opposite Broadway, is going to be
one of the finest structures III the town.
1t will be large and commodious, and on
the north side there is to be wing in
which a restaurant will be established.
The structure is frame one, but the
the walls on the outside are to be cover
ed with steel netting over which ce-
ment plaster is to be used, which will
give it the appearance of cement block
house. These lines are being followed
to make the building less susceptible to
danger from fire in case of fire in build
ings which may surround it in time. 1t
is the first building of the kind to be
constructed in the camp.
Mothers who give their children Ken
nedy's Laxative Containing Honey and

it because the taste is SO pleasant. 1t is
