streams. over broken bridges, and
through deep mud they plunged from
Fort Morgan to this city.
The whole party left Julesburg, in
high spirits this morning. and for lis
miles everything was all right, al
though the machines were on the hot
plains. A weak bridge caused the first
havoc, for as the heavy cars carefully
crossed. IL sank nearer and nearer the
water, and when George Schuster ar
rived in the big Thomas press car the
boards gave way and let the auto down
upon its axle. The combined efforts
Of its occupants and the crews OF other
cars finally released 1t. Then the other
cars had to cross upon the weakened
bridge
Mud holes caused several cars to use
their blocks and tackle, and these were
also used IN some OF the sand beds

FORT WAYNE PRIMARY CLOSE
Democratic Candidate Nominated by
Plurality of Four Votes.

Fort Wayne, Ind. July 4-The first
nominations OF city officials under the
new primary law was made here yes
terday. but so close were the Democratic
candidates for mayor that the result was
not known till early this morning.
There we're four candidates. and the
successful man was nominated by a plu-
rality Of four votes IN a total OF 6.354.
There is much dissatisfaction over the
result, as the heavy vote against Schmidt,
the successful candidate. makes him the
party nominee on a vote OF less than
One-third Of the total cast for the Office
Of mayor.
The only satisfaction that the figures
give is the defeat OF Sherer. the brewery
candidate. In the Republican primary
held at the same time only 2.290 votes
were cast, the successful candidate for
mayor receiving 1.S12

White Plains, n. Y. July A-"Of
course it will be a terrible task for me
to have TO sit In the witness box and
face a mercless cross-examtnation in
such a way as to prove to Justice Mills
that I am totally sane and should be
released from Matteawan. but am CON

tonight that he would be in splendid
condition FOR the reopening OF his ha-
beas corpus proceedings Monday.
Blow 20 Thaw.
The re-entry of District Attorney

severe blow 20 the Thaw cause.

Thaw was sane in every particular save
regarding the killing OF White and the
ruin Of young girls. but that on these
subjects he is an incurable paranoiac.
Rely on AIienists.
The state, he said, would not reply or
anything but the examination OF the
alienists 20 prove this.
Justice Mills struck the State a severe
blow by declaring the State must have
this examination IN open court. where
he could watch every act.
IL Is now Up 70 Thaw 10 prove hi'

he Stomach
 of the Child
Is the Organ All Parents Should Protect and Keep
 Normal.

The stomach of child is the organ above all others upon which the future of a child depends. Bodily develop ment is fast in children, and the nour- ishment necessary to meet such devel- opment is the one essential demanded from a parent. Most mothers anG fathers, jealously guard a child from the formation of bad habits, yet in this age our children early become the vic timS of wrong food, over eating and irregular meals.
 It is most appalling to know the ef- feet of stomach troubles among ouI children.
 Most children who are nervous, ir- ritable and cross. who dream, sleep restleSsly, who stire easily and have no desire for child exercise. generally have stomach trouble, indigestion and dyspepsia.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are in- tended to thoroughly digest food and to place the system in shape to Ob- tain all the nourishment it needs from such food
 These tablets mix with the juices of the system, enriching them and giving to the body the ingredients necessary to build up the rapidly forming brain and body of the young.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be given to children after each meal and at bed time. They are made from pure vegetable and fruit essences and contain no harmful chemicals what ever. The use of these tablets will give greater vim to a child in it's school work or at it's play. They will pro- duce appetite and soothe nerves, de stroy abnormal cravings and will allay the bad effects of sweets and such inn proper foods as most children enjoy and will eat no matter what is done to prevent it.
 It is due the child that his stoma ach be protected by the parent, and if Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets are given after meals, the habits of the child will not tear down the stomach and destroy the digestive juices nearly so rapidly. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are given to each and every degree of life. Any condition of the stomach welcomes them, from the strongest to the weak est. For sale by all druggists, price 50 cents.
