BANK MAKES GOOD
CHECK LOSS,

The Old National bank has made
good the loss sustained by T. F.
Sturtevant, proprietor of the Owl
drug store, because of theft of a
check of $50 mailed by Sturtevant
to the Union Trust Co. The check
was made payable to the Union
Trust Co. and was deposited by
Sturtevant in a mail box but never
turned up at the Office of the trust
company, it is claimed The name
of the trust company was erased
and that of Ed Holmes substituted
and after being Endorsed by
Holmes, which is believed to be a
fictitious name, was paid by the
bank. Afterward the bank re-
fused to make good the loss and
Sturtevant brought suit The case
was set for trial yesterday in JUS
tees Hyde's court but was set
tied by the bank.
The postoffice inspectors have
had the case in hand since the
matter was reported last October,
but no clew as to how the check
left the mails has developed.

BUZZ WAGON FOR
FIRE CHIEF

The accident last fall when an
automobile went over the cliff on
lde avenue with fatal results will
probably be the means of securing
an automobile for the fire chief.
The car, a 60-horse power Thorn
as, is wreck, but it is estimated
that it can be repaired for a COM
paratively small sum for the use OF
the fire department. Mrs. Beulah
Anderson, the owner, has made a
proposition to settle her claim with
the city for $4,000 and the city to
receive the car. This is consider
ed moderate price by the board
of public works and they have CIV

ton.

CITY BATTLES
A BREWERY

The city is in a tangle with the
Spokane Brewing & Mating Co.,
in which the brewery holds the
whip hand.
When the Stevens street bridge
was built the city erected small
building on the brewerys property
and after the bridge was completed
left the building standing. The
brewery notified Commissioner
O'Brien that the building would
have to be removed, but the no.
tice was unheeded and the brew
cry then engaged a carpenter to
do the demolition act.
The carpenter tore down the
building and took the lumber with
him, storing it away. Commits
sioner Witherspoon then got busy
and demanded that the lumber be
returned. Acting on the instruc-
lions of Henry Boesemann, the car
penter refused to return the lum-
Der until he was paid for the work
of tearing it down. This amounts
to half days pay for four men
and half days pay for the car
penter who bossed the job.
Witherspoon wants his lumber
and the carpenter sticks to it that
he wants his money and the odds
at present favor the carpenter,
since the city built the house on
the brewerys property. Commits
sioner Witherspoon has the matter
under advisement.t

FOR GENERAL
ELECTION OF
COUNC|lMEN

While the members of the COM
mittee of the charter revision COM
mission to which was referred the
Des Moines plan of city govern
ment believe it would be advisable
to adopt this plan in Spokane at
this time. vet they have concluded,
after comforting with other men,
beers of the commission. not to push
the idea at the present but permit
the commission to continue with
revision of the city charter in the
original manner.
The question of the adoption of
the BEST Moines plan can not be
fully settled until after the legisla-
ture has passed on the measure
sent up by Spokane calling for non
partisan city primaries. Lawyers
say that the state law on primary
elections will have to be changed
before nonpartisan city govern
ment plan will hold
A majority of the committee on
the election of councilmen at large,
Messrs. Walker and Vincent, have
agreed to report in favor of the
adoption of this idea The other
member of the committe, Council
man Jacob Schiller, says he is TAX
ing no part in the deliberations of
the charter revision commission,
and has no views on the question
of electing councilmen at large.
This considered to mean that he is
against it, as Schiller has said in
the past that the present city char
ter ought to be consigned to the
flames and one like that of Des
Moines adopted. 1t is said that
Councilman Fred Baldwin is now
favorably impressed with the idea
of electing councilmen at large.
The committee on more power
for the mayor will report favora-
bly,, but an adverse report is said
to be coming on the matter of the
creation of a nonpartisan water
commission like the park board.

Dizziness A
Danger Signal
Forerunners Of More Serious Conditions
of the Alimentary Tract

Invariably the fiatulence and dizzi-
ness indicate the beginning of serious
troubles, stomach and intestine trou-
bles usually follow which sooner or
later develop symptoms Of an alarming
nature. Catarrh of the stomach, gas
tritis. constipation, piles, liver troubles
and a general break down of the health
usually follow these symptoms when
left to run their full course. When the
stomach is not performing it's proper
duty the rest of the system is sure to
suffer. As it is Q well known fact that
the stomach feeds the rest OF the body
and organs, therefore many other dis
eases may arise, either directly or in
directly from disorder of the stomach.
Whenever there are the slightest in
dications of flatulence or dizziness no.
ticed it should be cared for at once,
that 1t may not develop more dangerous
symptoms. Charcoal is an excellent
remedy for the stomach, relieving fiat
ulence by absorbing the poisonous
gases that accumulate in the stomach,
and aiding digestion and assimilation;
it has a specific action upon this organ
and q very rapid and positive action on
the system in general.
Charcoal has been used for several
thousand years. both as a stomach reg
ulator and an antidote for poisons TAX
en- into the stomach. The success of
charcoal is unquestionable. The only
remaining. question is to get charcoal
