SOUR STOMACH IS A
SIGN OF INDIGESTION

If you occasionally have state OF
sour food in your mouth. it surely shows
that the food you are taking into your
stomach is not being digested, but in
stead, is fermenting and giving out
poisonous gases.
Belching of gas is a common symp-
tom at such times, and also that lump
of lead feeling, as If your stomach was
carrying a much greater load than It
could stand.
These are sure symptoms of indiges-
ton, and should be attended to at once
If you want prompt relief and per-
manent cure, go to Summers pharmacy
and get a large tin box of Mi-o-na tab

AT STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis. Ind, Feb. fittings
looked rather serious in the senate for
a minute yesterday afternoon when
Senator stephen B. Fleming, of Fort
Wayne told Senator Nathan B. Haw-
kins, of Portland. he lied. Those who
stood around feared that there might
be a personal clash, but this did not
develop and Fleming got away with it
all right
And after the session had adjourned
Senator Frank Kistler, of Logansport.

word in connection with it to empha-
size his charge.
Hawkins On other Side.
Hawkins had to take it from all sides.
yesterday afternoon. Before the SEN
ate for discussion was the claim of
William H. DRAPER, of this city, for
SIS, 900 for his services as stenographer
for the legislature from 1877 to 1887.
DRAPER has never received the money
/ fom the state for his services and a bill
was introduced in the senate to allow
the claim. Fleming and Kistler were
in favor of allowing the claim, as We're
several other democrats and republican
senators as well. But Hawkins took
the other side. He characterized the
claim as a robbery of the state treas
ury. The discussion grew warm. Mat
tingly, republican, and Wood, also re-
publican, were favoring the allowance,
and they and several other senators
made speeches for it. Kistler made a
speech that aroused the ire of TIaw-
kins. Hawkins got up and said that
Kistler was the author of one of the
most Infamous pieces of legislation on
the statute books the three mile law
Kistler answered that he was not the
author of the law. Then some refer
ence was made to the fact that Haw
: kins was the republican candidate fol
congress in the Eighth district last
year and that he was defeated by Con

INGENIOUS Ponies.

A rather curious habit has been de
,veloped by Mexican ponies in connec-
ton with the cactus thorns. When
these creatures are thirsty, it is said
that. before attempting to put their
mouths to the prickly plant, they will
first of all stand and kick at the cac-
tus with their heels. BY this means
the thorns are broken and the leathery
skin bruised. and so the ponies can
drink their fill of the cool juice with
out injury.-Sunday Strand.
