Veterans Of the civil war are en-
titled to no special consideration in
the granting of reduced rates to the
state encampment at Fl. dodge.
June 5. 8 and 10, SO far as the
Western Passenger association is
concerned. Every effort Of Dr.. G.
A. Newman, in charge Of state
headquarters to secure reduced
rate, has ended Id one proposition
which DR.. Newman turned down in
dignantly. The association agreed
to sell tickets at one and half
fare on the certificate plan II more
than one thousand veterans attended.
provided the regular fare was 81 or
more. In addition the ticketholder
would be compelled to pay rs cents to
get his ticket validated before he
could leave FIT. Dodge. In the opinion
of DR.. Newman this was asking top
much of the old soldiers and he no.
titled the association that the old sol
diers will pay the full cents a mile
rather than be submitted to the in
dignity Of having to make such a
showing.

The Chair of Torture.

The most prominent building in the ancient city of Nuremburg is the cas- tie. One of its two towers was used for torture, the other served as a prison. The castle also contained museum of horrors until 1t was pur- chased by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, in whose possession these rel les now lie. One of these was the chair of torture. It was very heavily made and studded over the seat and at the elbows with blunt topped spikes To it the victim was tightly bound and in short time discomfort began to manifest itself and in time became unbearable. During its continuance the torture was increased in several ways by means of wedges being pass ed between the legs and screws being applied to the thumbs until they be- gan to bleed

Why the Judge Paid.

A physician. says medical journal that vouches for the truth of the story. was once summoned in haste to attend the child of family that lived in two rooms in the heart of a large American city-not New York The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time The mother was In despair, and when the doubt full prognosis was given she broke Into waillng and violent self condem nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child's Illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from 'the force," and such evil ways should be senounced forever
 Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness. the doctor finally se- cured the confession that the crime of the poor, conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis. tered as residing in her house, in swearing to the lie, etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for indescrib- able political favors.
 The child recovered, and the magis trate paid the physician's bill.

 INSURANCE MERGER

Chicago, Nov. 22.-The dominance of Eastern and Foreign insurance companies in Western and Southern fields is waning, as is shown by gains made by the lusty new compan- ies which have set out to retain in the heart of the America more of the insurance revenues which total some half billion dollars a year, tributes paid chiefly to the East and Europe. The announced merger of two West ern companies, the Consolidated Cas- ualty Company having swallowed the National Casualty Insurance Company of Louisville, is a case in point, the first named having a directorate which represents in personal wealth, it is said, $50,0O0,O0O, fact which presages other mergers
 The Consolidated company was or ganized as protest against the in- surance power of the East and al- ready has over s2,000000 of insur- ance in force fact partially account ed for by the scattered holdings Of the company's stock in 26 states Re- gently the Kansas State Bankers As sociation gave the company prefer ence over others, making it officially the choice of the association in the insuring of State funds.-Arkansas Democrat.

STOMACH DISTRESS
 AND DYSPEPSIA GO

As there is so often some one in your family who suffers an attack of indigestion or some form of stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy?
 This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour. gassy stomach five minutes af- ter.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Papes Diapep- sin, then you will readily see why it makes indigestion, sour stomach, heartburn and other distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such miseries as belching of gas, eructa- tions of sour undigested food, nausea, headaches, dizziness, constipation and other stomach disorders.
 Some folks have tried so long to find relief from indigestion and dys- DepSia or an Out-OI-Ordel Slouldcli with the common everyday cures ad- yertised their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of nervousness, gas tritis. catarrh of the stomach or can cer.
 This, no doubt A serious mis- take Your real t. 4lble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it fer ments and sours, turns to acid, gas and stomach poison, which putrefy in in the digestive tract and intestines' and besides, poison the breath with nauseous odors'
 A hearty appetite, with thorough di- oestion, and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the stomach is waiting for you as soon as you de- eide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

Take a Sunshine Tablet For
 Thy Stomach's Sake

There never was such a marvellous prescription for stomach distress anu indigestion as Mi-o-na.
 No doctor ever wrote a better one, it's doubtful if any doctor ever will, It's so good that The Lee Osgood Co. says money back if it doesn cure.
 A woman in Maine calls Mi-o-na the sunshine prescription because sne has seen so many sour, miserable aggravating dyspeptics turned into happy, cheerful. sweet human beings in a few days by taking Mi-o-na.
 The stomach is responsible Tor three-fourths of the nervousness and half the misery of the world. wom- an can have first-class stomach and yet be miserable if she has anus . band who is a nervous dyspeptic-
 If you have indigestion, belching of gas, heaviness after eating. drowsy sensation after eating, sour stomach or any miserable stomach disturbance the prescription called Mi-o-na will put you right, and bring sunshine Into your life in a week.
 A large box of Mi-o-na tablets cost only 50 cents at The Lee X Osgood Go. and by leading druggists every where. They are small and easy to swallow.

Railroads and Their Critics.

Railroads and railroad men are bet ter than their critics and have always been so," asserts President F. D. Un- derwood Jf the Erie road. It depends entirely what MT. Underwood means by railroad critics whether his state ment can be accepted.
 No reasonable man ever believed the railroads and railroad men were all bad or even incurably incorrigible. No better proof of the justness of many past complaints against the railroad can be offered than the present atti- tude of most of the great railroad men in the country They would not re- turn to the old conditions of indiscrim- mate relating and rate cutting if they could, neither would they favor a gen. eral resumption of many other prac- tices which robbed railroads of their revenue and built up one individual or business at the expense of another. The master railroad minds of America are today agreed that regulation by properly constituted public bodies is the only salvation of the railroads, and that they need protection from each other and protection fl m unrea- sonable demands of the | ople fully as much as the people neeu protection from the railroads.-Omaha Bee.
