old acquaintance. and representing to them
that he had the backing Of a strong flnan-
cial institution then with headquarters at
Omaha. and later at Kansas City. who
were financing and building alfalfa mills
at different points in Kansas and Nebraska.
York was one Of the good points for an
alfalfa mill. and II was not much trouble
to interest farmers and business men. who
subscribed for stock. paying cash. which
they claim has disappeared and nothing to
show for II. The evidence given In the
trial was that something like S7,OO worth
of stock In the York Alfalfa Meal and Mill
ing company was disposed of, and that at
the present time there is about 500 in the
treasury and no alfalfa mill at York. The
promotion company was represented on the
board Of officials of the York Alfalfa Meal
and Milling company by having Samuel c..
Nelson elected treasurer. and when the
Kansas City officers on the witness stand
were asked what become OF the money,
they replied that 1t was spent, but did not
give sufficient testimony to Justify County
Judge Wray to think that the money was
rightfully appropriated or spent for the
benefit of the local company, and both
Stryker and Nelson were bound over to the

To Settle Enumeration SquabbIe.
Representative Wells of Fort Wayne
has introduce a bill for the purpose
of preventing a recurrence of the
squabble that arose few years ago
over the school enumeration of Fort
Wayne and Terre Haute. 1t was a
question which was the larger of the
two cities, and ugly charges were
made of crooked work in the taking
of the enumeration. especially in Terre
Haute. The matter was fought out for
months with the state board of edu-
cation and the state superintendent,
and finally the superintendent sent
men to Terre Haute and had a new
enumeration made. Wells does not pro-
pose that his town shall get tangled
up in any more sucn sQuabbles, and
he has Introduced a bill to require the
taking of a new school enumeration
when a former enumeration is found
to be incorrect. Another bill has been
introduced to place the taking Of school
enumerations in the hands of the state
superintendent of public instruction.

Facts Regarding

Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and

should not eat anything they desire
if they will only chew it carefully and
thoroughly Many actually starve
themselves into sickness through fear
of eating every good looking, good
smelling and good tasting food be-
cause it does not agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure DYSPEPSIA If
we refuse every article of food that
disagreess with US. before long we have
nothing left, and find ourselves chronic
dyspeptics.
We can cure Dyspepsia. We are so
confident of this fact that we guaran-
tee a cure, and promise to supply the
medicine free of all cost TO everyone
who will use it. who is not perfectly
satisfied with the results which it pro-
duces. We exact no promises. and put
no one under any obligation whatever
We are located right here in Hammond

cient assurance of the genuineness OF
