In connection with the new uniforms
for tho National Guard of the State of
Maine, some of which have just been
received at the office of the adjutant
general and win be issued later to the
organizations of the Guard, question
which has arisen and will be decided
upon later is in regard to the buttons.
The buttons which have come with the
uniforms are the regulation United
Stat =; buttons such as are attached
to the uniforms of the regular army,
while the uniforms of the National
Guard Of Maine have heretofore been
fitted with buttons bearing the coat of
arms of the State. The last uniforms
which were received for the Guard pre-
viouS to the present ordere were fitted
with United States buttons. which
were, however, changed for the State
of Maine buttons, but as the change Of
buttons means an expense of about
$780, and as the Guard and the regu-
lars are being brought in closer touch
with one another year by year it is
possible that the buttons on the uni
forms may not be changed.

BEWARE OF PHYSlc.
Only Assravates Stomach Trouble and
Never Cures.

The trouble with most people who
have stomach trouble is that they uo
not like to take the time to get cured;
they overeat and then take physic,
which simply upsets the stomach.
While you can get relief from one or
two doses of A1io-na stomach tablets,
it cannot be expected that a trouble
which has been coming on for years
can be cured in a day. Chronic and
long-standing cases of stomach
trouble need at least two or three
weeks treatment before the sick
headaches, dizzy spells, bloatins.
heartburn, constipation, nervousness
and other symptoms that directly re-
suit from Indigestion, are banished,
never to return.
Mona is far different from the
usual digestives which have been
used in treating stomach troubles. 1t
is taken before each meal, stimulating
the secretion of the digestive juices
and strengthening the whole system,
so that the stomach itself does the
work of taking care of the food which
is eaten. without distress or suffering
No discovery in medicine in recent
wears has been of greater value than
the prescription of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. 1t is today the acknowledged
specific for the treatment of stomach
diseases. and is relied upon as
certainty in relieving the worst cases
of indigestion and malassimilation,
and making a complete cure.
The strongest proof that can be
given in support of the claim that
Mi-o-na will cure the worst form OF
stomach trouble Cancer eXcepted,)
and relieve the worst case of acute
indigestion. is the guarantee Bowditch.

Wright An Aggressive Fighter.

There may be difference Of opinion
among men as to the rightful place OIL
B. F.. Wright in the history of Iowa.
but there is universal agreement that
he was a fighter and that in his fight
ing he left his mark. He had enemies
many of them bitter; he also had his
friends who stood shoulder to shoulder
with him in his battles. B. f. Wright
fought for everything that he believed
in. He fought first in the local political
field in Floyd county then in the wider
field of northern Iowa, and finally ne
became interested in a great state
fight-the fight for prohibition. with
which his name must always be prom
nently associated. In his fighting he
aroused antagonsms that would have
overwhelmed almost any other man.
Most notable among the enmities
stirred up by him was that Of the Ell
Uses and their faction in the politics
Of Floyd county. B. F. Wright and the
Ellises were bitter to the extreme. The
Ellises were influential and they and
their friends sought again and again
to defeat Wright. Again and again the
story went out that Wright had been
cornered and that he would be forced
to surrender soon; but he never did.
He pulled out of the worst places
somehow and kept right on fighting,
with all the keenness Of sharp pen
that att times became vitroHc and
abusive even. and with all the shrewd-
ness OF good political organizer

Half Dozen Townships of cerro Gorde

'1aIf Dozen Townships of cerro Gordo
County in the Race.
Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Sept. 14.-Professor Ir-
win of Ames. judge of the horticultural
and agricultural exhibits at the district
fair here last week, said that the ex-
hitits shown by the various townships
OF Cerro Gordo county, were nearly or
quite the equal of the county exhibits
at the state fair. The township exhibit
feature has been one of the best Of the
district fair in the two years of it's
history. The rivalry for the first award,
among half dozen townships of the
county, has been intense and they have
placed splendidly comprehensive and
well arranged exhibits. The word of
praise from Professor Irwin means
very much to the people who have
been responsible for the exhibits, ami
to the fair association. Professor IT.
win urges that more townships take
part in these exhibits, and that greater
space be devoted to them, because they
are the best and most important ex-
hibits of the fair outside of the live
stock show, which certainly ranks no
higher than they.

Withdrawn from the Cass and Mont
gomery County Veterans association,

own, known as the Montgomery County
Veterans association. This action was
decided upon at a meeting of the post

dissatisfaction growing out of the
treatment received at Griswold, this
summer. A vote was taken there as to
where the encampment should be held

When the last stick hit the bottom the
whole blast exploded. Baumgarden
had been STOPPING over the hole and
had risen just far enough SO that the
blast missed his face for the most part.

arms. Both arms were badly torn, but
the left forearm was fairly riddled. His
face seemed to be just grazed by min
ute particles of the flying rock.
