Get Rid of That Sourness, Gas and Indi-
gestion.
When your stomach is out of order or run

in your stomach and forms gas which causes
sourness, heartburn, foul breath, pain at pit of
stomach and many other miserable symptoms.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets will give joyful re-
lief in five minutes; if taken regularly for two
weeks they will turn your dabby, sour, tired
out stomach into a sweet, energetic, perfect
working one.
You can't be very strong and vigorous if
your food only half digests. Your appetite
will go and nausea, dizziness, biiousness. nerv-
business, sick headache and constipation will
follow.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are small and easy
to swallow and are guaranteed to Danish indi-
gestion and any or all of the above symptoms
or money back.

THE JOURNALS RANGE CONTEST.

The Journals voting contest, its first. closed
as announced last Thursday at noon. Fifteen
minutes before the hour 200 votes were cast
for one of the Belfast candidates. The total
vote exceeded our expectations and would have
been still larger had all the promises made to
candidates materialized. The candidates out
side OF the city of course had more limited
helds to work in, and should we arrange an
other contest separate prize offers will be
made to put the county contestants on an even
footing with those in the city The contest
was of value to The Journal as showing the
appreciation of the constituency it serves, and
many new names were added to its lists of
subscribers. To all who have aided in the
matter we extend our hearty thanks. Follow
ing is the report of the committee appointed
to count the votes:

With the policy of building two
ships year we have adhered to the
plan of building them by divisions
The North Dakota, Delaware, Utah
and Florida will constitute one feet
division, and they are one In type
The Arkansas and Wyoming, and the
two ships authorized by this Congress
will complete another division, and
will be essentially of the same general
type. In the interval, however, since
the North Dakota and Delaware were
planned new factor of Improvement
has been furnished by the Bureau OF
Ordnance in the demonstration that
we can make a 14-inch gun that will
lead the world for power and penetra-
ton This was the idea of Rear Adj
miral Mason, and on his authority
Congress year ago appropriated
100000 to make a 14-inch rife and
test 1t, This was done in the course
OF few months, and the gun proved
to be successful beyond all that had
been expected of it. 1t necessarily
follows that the next ships to be built
must carry 14-inch guns.
The new ships, the Nevada and Ok
lahoma, will be 554 feet long and 95
feet beam. Their draft will be $50
feet. Their displacement will be at
least $4,000 tons, and probably $4,000.
The speed will be q knots. the coal
load 5000 tons, and they will carry a
complement of rs officers and 1900
men. The armor will be 11-inch on
the belt and on the barbettes and g
inch on the sides. There will be, in
addition to the ten 14-inch guns sew
enteen 5-inch guns. AS a floating
fortress the ship will thus have two
guns for every sector and with over
tapping ranges A 5-inch gun has been
placed at the stern to protect from

would be made at the stem but for the

rear turret forward are raised above
their neghbors so that their guns
may fire over them, This is an Ameri
can idea. Foreign navies are Just be-
ginning to adopt It, Years ago the
5uperimposed turret was believed to
be good thing, but 1t was doubted If
heavy guns could be used in the super
imposed turret And there was doubt
If they could be used In turrets raised
above other turrets, although not SUI
perihposed over them To determine
the matter once for all in the presence
OF much debate about it, a practical
trial of the matter was made.
1t was claimed that the concussion
from the 12-ineh guns would kin any
living being within the lower turret.
At first cats and dogs were placed in a
turret on the old monitor Florida, now

DAKoTA's MIXED MARRIAGES.
Unions of White Men and Indian
Women Not crowned Upon.

Unions of White Men and Indian
Women Not crowned Upon.
In the Dakotas when a white man
WEEDS an aboriginal woman and public
ly acknowledges her as his wife he
provides her with as good home and
clothing as he can afford, and he
treats her as he would treat white
woman. He sees to 1t that she learns
to cook, to sew and to keep house. and
in other ways tries to educate and
uplift her
Still more interesting is the fact
that these mixed marriages involve
little or no social disability The white
husbands are rarely, If ever. barred
from associations with the whites be-
cause of their wives.
To be sure, man known to be liv-
ing with an Indian woman who is
without benefit of clergy" is. as
rule, in the language of one White
River plainsman. purity nigh ostrich
lied" But this would be true if he
were known to be maintaining SINH
lar relations with a white woman.
Such loose-hitched tie-ups used to
be kind o common around here" said
my White River man, according to a
writer in Everybody's, and nobody
thought much about EN-. But there's
so many schoolma' ans come out here
from New England and other places
that folks don't stand for that sort o.
thing no more"
Legally married Indian wives pay
no more social penalty than do their
white husbands. Generally, the little
red hen sticks to her home and does
not go out with her white husband for
q social evening as often as would a
wife OF her own race. But this Is
largely a matter of Indian tempera-
ment.

fired The cats and dogs sustained no
injury from the conclusion, although
the former were somewhat shaken by
the contact with the latter once or
twice. Then a few midshipmen were
put in the turret and again the big
guns wore fired, and again with no bad
results. Then, to make a final and
permanent test of the matter, three
tough old rear admirals were put in
and fired over. and when they came
out all right the principle was held
to be established that heavy guns
could be fired in an engagement over a
neighboring turret without any dis
tress to the inmates That test has
been of incalculable value to our navy,
and as a consequence the two new
ships win be so arranged that they
can fire four of their huge guns ahead
or astern

about 500 tons About as much more
is to be credited in weight to the ar
morplate, 1t is calculated that the
2G,000-ton ship will carry ten 14-inch
guns without difficulty Remember
that in the matter of ammunition the
increase Of weight is as the cube of
the calibre. Where the 12-inch gun
