mental Station Meeting
Ths meeting called by the Com
ernial Club to be held at the court
VNse last Monday was attended by
large of farmers and citizens. The
Circuit Court room was filed with
people Of Oblon County interested
iii the location Of the Experiment
Station and Model Farm.
Geo. Dahnke called the meeting
10 order and DR.. G. w. Miles was
elected chairman, with Hunter
Griffin as secretary.
Several stirring addresses we're
made upon the subject. It was the
sense Of those present that a $500
farm be offered as an inducement
for the location of the Station in
Obion County. Farmer w. G. Far
ris offered to donate SO acres worth
$4,000 as a single subscription and
others manifested a liberal spirit
in the work.
"A committee as follows was APP
pointed to solicit subscriptions to
the enterprise: Jake Caldwell, III.
Dietzel, H. P Moss, Lon Hender-
son, J. M. Honeycutt, Sam Wade,
Fayett Glover, B. j.. Wade, J. e.
Boxley, S. Z. Caruthers, Jim Rob
erts.
After the meeting Mr.. Upton, of
Lauderdale County, made an adj
dress to the farmers in the interest
of farmers unions. He sought to
impress upon the farmers the inn
portance of unity of interests and
action. Lawyers and doctors fix
their fees, merchants fix h cir
prices, mechanics their scale of
earnings, and the farmer is COM
PEELED to depend upon the specu-
1ator in the grain market for his
compensation. The address was a
strong one and full Of good sound
sense and reasoning. Editor Homer
L. Riggs, of the Greenfield Times,
was present, and also made an ad-
dress.

Mrs. Mary Callicott, widow OF
the late Cal Callicott, died at her
home in the northeastern suburbs
of Union City on Thursday, Jan. 30,
1908. Mrs. Callicott was about 70
years of age. She was stricken
with la grippe and was sick about
ten days, the immediate cause of
death resulting from catarrhal
pneumonia.
Mrs. Callicott was the daughter
of VIM. Ell. Guy. She was the third
wife Of Cal Callicott, late OF Pleas
ant Hill, one of the we'll known cit
liens, ana family SO thoroughly
linked with the good name of that
section.
Mr.. Callicott's death occurred
about seven years ago, and two
years afterwards Mrs. Callicott and
her two sisters, Misses Lizzie and
Ellen Guy, moved to Union City.
Mr.. Callicott's daughter, Miss
Verna, was reared BY her step
mother, and the love and attach
ment between them was identical
with all that IS pure and good.

STORY ABOUT HOCH
Latest Is That He VIII Return to
Marion and Run for Congress.

The latest story is that Governor e.
w. Hoch Will not live In Topeka after
all, but will move back to Marion, and
enter the race for congressman from
the Fourth district in 1910.
This story was dug up by ID. o. Nc
Cray, who is one of the governors
close friends, and was appointed by
him as a member of the text book
commission
Governor Hoch bought a fine piece
of land in Potwin not long ago. and
admitted that he would build home
for himself there, and make Topeka
his future place of abode. Now, how
ever, 1t is said that the chance to go
to congress has made him change his
plans. The Marion people did not
want Governor Hoch to move away,
and they offered to help him get the
congressional prize II he would stay
with them.
J. M. Miller, the present congress-
man, Is sure to have a fight on his
hands for denomination. He was
given a bad scare in the last primary
by George E. Tucker, and it has been
generally supposed that Tucker would
make another effort to take Miller's
scalp. If Governor Hoch should de-
eide to enter the race. Tucker might
stay out
McCray goes further with the story,
and asserts that Henderson Martin,
chairman of the Democratic commit
tee. and Governor Hoch's double in
Democratic candidate for congress in
the Fourth district. Martin lives at
Marion. too, and the two men would
certainly make a hot fight.

What An Eminent Medical Man Says
Dyspepsia Really Is. Then

''This affection called Dyspepsia, is
the greatest torment of civilized life,
and Is to be considered rather as an
unnatural functional difficulty than as
structural disease"
The same authority has classified
dyspepsia thus: The first form due to
relations with other organs which are
in morbid and unhealthy state,
which Is characterized as a reflex ac-
ton. OF such a type is the nausea
and vomiting caused by irritation of
brain, lungs. liver or uterus
The second form is caused by
scanty supply of gastric juice made
evident by slowness of digestion. long
retention of food in the stomach, dis
tress for long time after meals. ac-
companied by weighty and uneasy
feelings at pit of stomach de-
composition of food in ailmentary
canal causing fetid and foul gases and
the appearance of undigested food in
the vaccinations from bowels
The third and last form of dyspep-
STA, according to this renowned med
ical light. is that which ACCOMPANIES
some abnormal quality of the gastric
juice. combined with partial
paralysis of the stomachs muscles so
that this organ cannot sufficiently mix
the food with the digestive fluids

These tablets contain digestive
agents which act with or without the

ty could continue fairly we'll but when
the beer was seized there was nothing

place of Jailer Smith and Sergeant
Ross in the day office force. The pa
troll shift which happens every two
months also took place and the night
and day force has been changed. The
new day men came in just in time for
Halloween and election.
Halloween was not so bad after all
but what did happen was covered by
Chief Eaton and his vigilant force of
men. The only real trouble in the city
during the night was caused by two
gangs of boys-one in Quinton
Heights and the other in North Tope-
ka. Every boy in the gang has been
or will be arrested and the three dol
lar fine will be made to stand. The
Quinton Heights gang was by far the
| worst bunch collected in the city.
They stole chickens-vhich is a pen
| itentiary offence. turned over out
houses. tore down fences. ran away
with rolling stock, tore down house
chimneys, and tried to wreck a car
from the Quinton Heights car line by
piling logs and rocks on the tracks.
The gang included the following
| boys-Vernard McAfee, Clifford Nc
