PLAYER GRABS THE POT
Card Game Among Gary
Foreigners Ends in the
Police Court.

An attempt of one of five Hungarians
to steal all the money In a card game
which was going on in shack in the
south end of town today, resulted ina
the arrest of all the men engaged in
playing, by officers Johnson and Mes
torovich, and they were booked for
petit larceny.
The game broke up in a row as one
of the men suddenly gathered up the
glittering silver, making the charge
that the other players were cheating
him, and started for the door Before
he could make much Roadway, how
ever, he was stopped by the other three.
During the commotion some one te1e-
phoned for the police, and the two Of
ficers arrived on the scene just as an
attempt was being made to take the
money away from the foreigner who
had done the grand grabs act.
The men were not booked for gamb-
ling, but were all charged with the
more serious offense of petit larceny.
None of them were able to furnish bond
and are being held to await trial

WHAT CAUSES DYSPEPSIA?
And Incidentally Constipation, Coated
Tongue, Nervousness, Headache and
Other Symptoms.

Did you ever know that the stomach
is churn? That just as soon as you
are done eating, the healthy stomach
commences to roll the food around, and
mixes it thoroughly with the juices of
the stomach?
And did you know, dear reader. that
if the stomach is run down or fiabby, so
that it cannot do the churning, that
dyspepsia is the result?
If the food is not churned, it lays
heavily on your stomach, turns sour
and causes all kinds of distressing
symptoms, such as headache, coated
tongue, constipation, etc.
And so. as every physician will tell
you, the way to cure dyspepsia is to fix
the churn. or in other words, build up
the stomach so that it will properly
mix the food.
If you have dyspepsia and want to
get rid of it before it gets rid OF you,
go to Summers pharmacy, the drug
gist and get a large box of Mi-o-na
tablets. The cost is only~50 cents, and
every read of THE TIMES is welcome to
his or her money back if Mi-o-na does
not cure.

NEW METHOD OF REDUCING FAT.

A new item from Paris informs us
that the American method of producing
a slim, trim figure, is meeting with as
tonishing success. This system. which
has made such a wonderful impression
over there. must be the MarmoIa Pre-
scription Tablet method of reducing fat.
1t is safe to say that we have nothing
better for this purpose in this country
Anything that will reduce the excess
flesh a pound a day without injury to

Within the next few days active work
of outlining a plan for legislative re-

Mr.. Clews referred to the strongly
fortified position of the farmers after
four years of abundant crops. He
pointed to the revival in the textile in
dustry, as evidenced by the shipment at
Savannah last month of more than 10O,-
600 bales of cotton.
Coincident with this, he said, the
leading dry goods houses are report

months standstill in business. Textile

a decrease of 2S,S41 from a fortnight
before, and of more than three fourths
from the maximum total of $4,000 idle

Mr. Clews takes an optimistic view
as to the banking outlook. He said the
sweeping plurality for Taft shows the
confidence of the people in the man and
his future administration. This conf
dence he regards as bulwark of
strength to the country-fnancial. in
dustrial, and commercial.
He attacked the proposed plan of
guaranteeing national bank deposits.
He said the plan was paternalistic, in

to lead to abuses and corruption. 1t
was also open to criticism because it
means discrimination against state and
trust companies.

MORE REPUBLICANS HERE

William II. Parry, of the Hydraulic

tiers a strong protest against the as
sertion made by some of the we'll
known politicians of st. Joseph county,
where he formerly lived and with
whom he is personally acquainted.
Among other statements is that of the
county chairman of that county, Sam
uel r. Thomas. who in an article in the
South Bend News, has the following
to say:

but it is a fact that St Joseph county

Speaks of Club Work.
I'm all the twenty-four years that
have been in politics have never seen
such good organization and never in
the history, believe, have the mem
bers of the party worked so diligently
and tremendously for success. 1 am
speaking particularly about the Hun
garian, Belgium, Polish and Jewish
clubs Every member of these clubs
worked exceedingly hard, and l would
like to meet every one of them person
ally and express my thanks. My thanks
are also due to the speakers who have
given their time and influence to the
success of the ticket without any show
of a reward beyond their loyalty to
party principles. Every one of them
called on were faithful and willing and
did good work.
Mr.. Parry says that the above is not
the case, and he has the figures of each
of the two counties to show that it is
not. The vote of st. Joseph county is
larger than that of Lake. but the plu-
rality for the republican party is much
less. In Lake county, Taft received g
plurality of 4,o76, which is more thar
thousand more than that given in st
Joseph. In the next presidential cleo
ton Mr. Parry says that Lake county

in the republican plurality. but in the
