WILL HAVE NINE TENTHS OF
DELEGATES TO STATE CONVEN.
TON, AND WILL ELECT NEXT
UNITED STATES SENATOR.

San Francisco, Aug. 18-Save that
late returns from country precincts
imperiled the earlier lead of several
insurgent candidates for minor posi-
tions on the republican ticket, today's
post-primary developments added
scope to the victory scored on Tues
day by the Lincoln-Roosevelt League.
1t was claimed at league headquarters
today that not only would the in
surgents have nine tenths of the dele
gates to the state convention which
will adopt the party platform but that
they will control both branches of
the legislature, which will elect sue
cessor to United States Senator Frank
p. Flint.

many years, finally dying in 1868, and
his remains are resting in Waushara
cemetery, in this village. Florence

To Furnish the System the Neces-

A Trial Package Free.

You should give to your stomach
the chemicals it needs to restore
tone, vigor and health to the gastric
fluids.
Food contains all these ingredi-
ents so necessary; and when the
stomach is in a normal condition it
separates these ingredients as It
should and manufactures its own di-
gestive agents, but when it is sick
and sore, filled with acids and alka-
lies that irritate everything they
come in contact with, it does not get
at the food as it should and cannot
make Its own juices correctly.
Science has proven Just what is
most necessary to the stomach TO
produce the correct gastric fluids
and to make of digestion a natural.
ly pleasant duty.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so
made as to give the stomach the
highest chemical properties to aid
digestion. These tablets are made
up from pure fruit and vegetable
essences, and this is the formula:
Hydrastis, Golden Seal, Lactose,

gestive known, and Jamaica Gin

THEY ASK FOR
A REHEARING
OF SWAMP
LAND CASE

A motion for rehearing has
been filed with the clerk of the su-
preme court in the case of the State
of Oregon against the Warner VAL
ley Stock company, ct al. This case
involves about $4,000 acres of
swamp land located in southern Ore
gon, and was recently decided in fa-
vor of the state by the court and the
petition for rehearing is filed by the
defendants who contend that they
have unearthed authorities on the
law involved which should occasion
the court to change its decision.
Fraud Was Alleged.
The suit was brought by the state
for the cancellation of the title given
by the state to about $4,000 acres
of what purported to be swamp
lands. The lands were originally
applied for under the swamp land
act, but before patents were issued
for them, settlers took a portion of
them up. Before the settlers, how
ever, could submit final proof the
land companies had secured title
and then followed contest between
the two. The state finally decided
to take a hand in the contest and
an investigation found that the
lands which had been characterized
as swamp lands were not really
swamp lands and the state then
commenced an action to cancel the
title to the whole bory on the ground
OF fraud.
The supreme court held that the
title to all the lands, save about 900
acres were invalid, and according to
the decision all of the balance ot
the lands, save 5000 acres which
went to the settlers, reverted back
to the state.
