COMMERCIAL RELATIONS ms.

'
Violent protests are being made by
a number Of highly protected interests
against the arrangement that the Unit.
ed States Is entering into with Ger
many for the continuance OF trade re.

definite commercial treaty that can be
signed by the two governments. The
arrangement consists In allowing the
manufacturers in Germany to swear
to the valuation OF certain classes Of
goods that are made solely for export
and whose price cannot be fixed by
comparison with the home market. It
Is a small concession and not one that

TO both worlds. Real goodness does
not attach itself merely to this life:
it points to another world. Political

Catarrh is not only dangerous, but it causes bad breath, alteration, death and decay of the bones, loss of think ing and reasoning power, kills ambition and energy often causes loss of appe- tite, indigestion, dyspepsia, raw throat and reaches to general debility, idocy and insanity. It needs attention at once. Cure it with Gauss's Catarrh Cure. It is a quick, radical, permanent cure, because it rids the system of the poison germs that cause catarrh.
 In order to prove to all persons who are suffering from this dangerous and loathsome disease that Gauss Catarrh Cure will actually cure any case of catarrh quickly, no matter how long standing or how bad, I will send a trial package by mail free of all cost. Send us your name and address to-day and the treatment will be sent you by return mail. Try it! It will positively cure so that you will be welcomed in stead of stunned by your friends. c. 10.

A Reasonable Plea
 For The Stomach
If You- Stomach Is Lacking in Digestive Power, Mhy Not Help the stomach Do Its WOrk--Especially When
 It Costs Nothing to Try?


 Not with drugs, but with a reinforce ment of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? Sci entific analysis shows that digestion re- quires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments, and the secretion of hydruchloric acid When your. food fails to digest, it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive ap- paratus,
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion, and when plac- el at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these or gans need, They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the digest i've organs back to their normal contli- tioE.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad, and are found to contain nothing but natural digestives.

Knowing the ingred- ents of the tablets, I am of opinion that they are admirably adaptable for the purpose for which they are intended.

 There is no secret in the preparation of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Their composition is commonly known among physicians, as is shown by the recom- mendations of 4O,00O licensed physicians in the United States and Canada. They are the most popular of all remedies for indigestion. dyspepsia, water brash, insomnia, loss of appetite, melaneholia, constipation, dysentery and kindred diseases originating from improper dis solution and assimilation of foods, be- cause they are thoroughly reliable and harmless to man or child.
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are at one a safe and powerful remedy, one grain of these tablets being strong enough (by test) to digest 5000 grains of steak, eggs and other foods, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest your food for you when your stomach can't.
 Ask your druggist for fifty cent package or send to us direct for a free trial sample package, and you will be surprised at the result. F. A. Stuart O., GA Stuart building, Marshall, Mich.

pIcKED WRONG n00R.

William s. Perpenning,a baker out of work, after consuming a large cuanti- ty of fire water in a Grand avenue sa- Icon Monday night, conceived the idea of calling on fellow baker who lives at 49S East street. and landed in the police court yesterday morning.
 In calling on his friend Terpenning broke in two doors of the apartments of Mrs. Patrick Nolan, who lives in the same house about F o'clock Mon day night and precipitated a small riot Mrs Nolan leaned from an upper story window and shouted "Murder!" and "Police!" while Terpenning says the clubs and bootjacks flew so thick about him that he could gain no definite idea where they came from.
 Terpenning flew through the snow up East street, where he was captured by Officer Pendergast in a hallway. His case was continued until this morning by Judge Mathewson.

 Picked Wrong Door = City Court
 Cases.
 The courts were snowbound yester- day morning and therefore no session of the courts were held, and in all but one instance court was adjourned until this morning.
 Tn the criminal side of the superior court where the trial of Samuel H. Knox, charged with the murder of Frederick M. Kelley is on, Judge Case telephoned that he would be unable to get to this city in time to open court so ordered it adjourned until 10 o'clock to-day. When the hour for the court opening came around Assistant Clerk Fowler called the roll of the jurors and only seven of the twelve answered During the day telephone messages were received from the absent five stat ing that they were snowed-in.
 Evidence was gathered yesterday for one important phase of the Knox case Detective Ward, who twas detailed on the case after the shooting on New Years night, was at work on the scene of tho tragedy yesterday to ascertain if parties of men, with the same respec- tive numbers of persons that made up Kelleys party and the negro's on the night ill question, might pass without inconvenience. He had the right num- Der of men with him and they were formed into similar parties, as 1t was testified those in question were on the night of the shooting.
 In the civil side of the same court where Judges Roraback amid Case are holding sessions no court was held yes- terday. Judge Roraback is sitting over the jury cases and he showed up, as did three of the eighteen jurors lmpan- elled for that side After waiting a short time and none of the others show ing up the judge ordered the case of Benjamin Stilliman and wife against Sherwood s. Thompson for $5,000 dam ages continued until to-day. The suit grew out of the closing of bakery in Grand avenue, contrary, it is alleged to an agreement.
 Judge Shumway telephoned the clerk that he had made an attempt to get to this city but found that his train was three hours late and he could not therefore get here in time to open court before 2 o'clock. Therefore the cases pending before him were continued un- t!l that hour.
