AN INDIGESTION

Many people who are otherwise
healthy suffer from indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you consider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
of the body, it would seem that a dis
order there is to be taken very seri-
ously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things
they like; food sours in the stomach.

as Is often the case, you have been
constipated all along, and the stools
are forced and irregular.
But there is no use letting Indigestion
go until it becomes chronic and under
mines your health. 1t Is good advice to

Frsspass lsw.

S9Ie unexpected Complications are
Arising out Of the concerted effort Of
railroads to exclude themselves OF tho
tramp nuisance by excluding them from
the rights OF way. Any man not being
an empleys Of the railroad who walks
on the tgacx iG trespasser and can be
elected from the roadway. Nav in come
OF the eastern states the railroads have
begun driving on trampa from the
rights OF way with the result that they
are living of the country and the far
mers ars in rebellion. Thus the Pv-
mona grange Of Blair county, Pennsyl-
vanias has adopted angry resolutionz
setting forth that the action OF the rail-
roads in driving off treGpassers had gent
the tramps into the country, ewhere
they are rphbiIg, committing murder
an destroying property by fire, filing
the county Jail and putting heavy tax
an the tlxpaYFs."
1t is not clear how, in the absence of
special legislation, trsmpa can be effect;
ually excluded from the railroad tracks.
Trespass unaeeompanied by malicious
mischief is not by itself criminal Of.
fense ami statute making the simpla

demeanor would not be good public pol

sufficient inteFest with legislatures te
procure the enaptment OF such q law.
We have already much quasi cFiminal
legislation Of this sort in the interest Of
railroads By which crimes or public az
lenses are artiacially ereatad by statuta.
But it is an essentially yicious class Of
legislation. as all laws designed to help
special interest must he.

The American received a telegram
yesterday afternoon from Senator
Curtiss stating that the appropria-
ton committee Of the senate had re-
ported favorably the appropriation Of
$4,000 for the proposed addition to
the mechanic arts building of the
Northern Normal and Industrial
School.
The entire appropriation asked
for the Aberdeen institution was
$4,000. Of this amount $4,000
was intended for additions to the
mechanic arts building and the
young ladies dormitory-$15,00 900
for the former and $4,000 for the
latter-and $4,000 for increase OF
teachers salaries.
1t was stated over the telephone
from Pierre last night that the $685.
900 for the dormitory addition Is
improbable but that there is still a
chance for $4,000 for increase in
teachers salaries.

Chicago, Feb. "a. From Judge
Landis fine Of $29, 900 to a pos
sible maximum fine Of 1920, 900 Is q
far cry, but that is admitted to be
the meaning OF the ruling made by
Judge Anderson In the retrial OF the
Standard Oil company Of Indiana for
alleged rebating today. The ruling
was informal and made for the pur-
pose of expidiating the hearing, and,
although the government has the Z
privilege Of presenting further ar
.guments, 1t is certain that there will
be no change in the ruling when 1t is
formally entered.
+ The decision Of the court Of ap-
peals which reversed Judge Lands
eliminated the view Of that jurist
that each car lot Of oil on which
rebate was accepted constituted
separate offense. There were /, ,142
of these car lots. the freight charges
for which were paid In thirty-six
different settlements. Judge Ander-
son Interpreted the decision Of the
Appellate Court, which he said serv-
ed as his guide, to imply that these
thirty-six alleged rebates accepted
continuous one, the whole forming
q single violation OF the law. Argu-
ment chat the offense, Il any, was
continuous. Judge Anderson regard

per Physically Weak on Witness
Stand.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 25.-After
nearly twenty days under one Of the
most searching cross examinations
ever heard In Tennessee court, Ro-
bin Cooper was surrendered to his
counsel tonight by the state. To-
morrow the case against the Coopers
and John D. Sharpe for the murder
OF Former Senator e. w. Carmack
will be resumed with Col. Duncan
Cooper, the aged defendant, still up
On the stand. His counsel have de-
cided upon a redirect examination,
promising to be brief. Whether the
state will cross examine again and if
SO, how long it will last, will depend
of course, upon what. Col Cooper's
own counsel will bring out. If Col.
Cooper is finally dismissed from the
stand, Gov. Patterson and his ad-
jutant general, Col. Tully Brown,
will be called to tell what part they
played in this political tragedy.
Col! Brown was In Bradford's office
at the conference which began at
3 p. m. the day Of the tragedy and
closed only twenty minutes before
the killing. Just as the conference
closed, Gov. Patterson telephoned,
it is said, for Col. Cooper. 1t is the
defense's theory that while going to
the governors mansion the Coopers
IdsI Senator Carnack and that the
killing resulted.
i Toward the close Of the ordeal
Col. Cooper began to show signs of
distress. Before time for luncheon
adjournment he asked the court to
take a recess until 2 p. M, that he
might rest and recover his strength.
While he appeared fresh and restor-
ed when he again took the stand in
the afternoon, he soon began to weak
en- physically. He gave frequent dis
plays Of temper, ddsregarding the
orders of his own counsel. His voice
became sharp and his manner pet
tish. The states attorney, to add
to his annoyance, jumped from one
narrative to another, asked discon-
nected and involved questions but at
4 p. m. gave up the task and left
the witness, perspiring, flushed and
angered, but half satisfied. Counsel
for the defense stated that they re-
