Both Sides now Even.

| Both sides in the saloon fight are
apparently even. Tuesday night the
administration councilmen did not
consider the time ripe" for action
and declined to take up the license
question but forced an adjournment
for two days. Then they were ready,
but the other side, short one member,
played the same game by staying
away and the lid sticks for another
two days.
Councilman Hibben was out of the
city on his run. The three other
stand pat" councilmen drove out in
the country "a fishing" They denied
that they drove to Hadar, now the
mecca of Norfolk short distance
tourists.
Naturally both sides view the mat
ter differently.
Mayor Friday views the fishing ex-
petition as boys play" The absen-
tees explained this morning that they
were only playing the game which the
other side had played for nearly two
weeks, that they wished to show that
the rights of four councilmen should
be respected, that they would have
arranged to attend the meeting If they
had been told by the administration
forces that they were ready to get
down and issue seven saloon licenses
and that they (the stand patters)
were ready to join with the other
councilmen in issuing licenses under
the ordinance Saturday night or any
other time when they could have their
Iull representation.
Big Crowd Out.
A good sized crowd filled the coun-
Gil room, although the numbers were
not so large as Tuesday evening.
There is no question but the city hall
will be packed when the matter comes
to climax Saturday evening.
After the mayor had been told that
the chief of police had been unable

enough of them to make a quorum,
even after visiting their homes and
places of business, it became neces-
sary to adjourn. 1t was at first pro-
posed to adjourn until this morning,

seems to want to attend a meeting

the Brule reservation. He began
fight against capture and was shot

he fired on the men several times.
Crime Premeditated.

the statement that Lansing's crime
was premeditated. He had threatened
his wife and her brother because of
divorce proceedings which she had
started on account of cruelty.
The crime occurred about 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. The three
children were at school across the

Taste Is Sure
Stomach Guide
Barometer Which Never Fails,
Though Seldom Believed.

"Taste is the direct guide to the
stomach; and the taste buds are con-
nected by the nerves with the stomach
ITSELF so that they represent its health
or disorder. If the stomach or its
juices are out Of tone the blood is fer
mented by change in the alkaline or
acid condition, and these reach the
mouth both directly and indirectly.
1.-The taste buds are in the tongue
and are mounted by hairlike projec-
tiOns called papillae; they cover the
surface Of the tongue.
when you taste these buds rise up
and absorb the liquid; inform the
nerves; the nerves tell the stomach,
and the food is acceptable or not, just
as the stomach feels"
The above remarks on taste come
from an eminent authority and simply
explain why when one smells cooking
or sees food one thinks he can eat, but
when he tastes he learns the stomach
is out Of business.
