A Stuarts Tablet not only aids d.
gestion, but it actually does the di-
costing itself In other words it fur
nishes exactly the same elements for
the digestion of food as the natural
juices of the stomach. The stomach,
therefore, is not called upon to do any
of the work except TO churn the juices
furnished by the tablet and then push
the digested food along into the in
testines where It will be still further
dgested and the strength taken up by
the blood TO be carried to the muscles
and nerves Of the body.
So by taking a Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet after a meal you give the stom-
ach the rest 1t needs in which to mend
Itself and grow we'll again. And you
absolutely prevent the souring of any
food, the formation Of any poisonous
gases, belching, foul breath or consti-
patton.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have done
more for humanity and have caused
more rejoicing than any other one
agency that can be named.
Every druggist everywhere sells and
personally recommends Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. The price is so cents
per box. If you first wish to try them

OF
MURDER CHARGE
VALLEY CITY MAN, ACCUSED OF
KILLING FELLOW EMPLoYE,
NOW A FREE MAN.

Valley City, N. D., March 1.-The
jury in the Hanson murder case re.
turned a verdict of not guilty. The
verdict was well received, those present
breaking into hearty applause. A4tor-
ney Englert made a hard fight for the
defense and presented to the court and
jury carefully prepared case.
The theory of the prosecution, con-
Quoted by States Attorney Paulson and
d. S. Richie, was that when Seeford
followed Hanson into the Office on the
morning OF the quarrel last July Shich
terminated in tragedy, was that See
ford did not have knife with him
and that Hanson could have escaped
from the Office to the street and escaped
without using the revolver which he
carried while performing his duties as
night clerk. Mr. Englert contended that
Seeford assaulted the defendant with
knife and that the shooting was
strictly in self defense and that Han
son could not have escaped with his
life If he had not used the revolver.

VIRGIN SOIL Will
BE TURNED over

Manning News: Thousands of acres
Of Dunn county's virgin soil will be
turned over this season IL the pur-
chase Of a large number OF power
blowing outfits is any indication. A
number Of general agents for the diff
ferent rigs have been operating in the
county and have placed several ma
chimes besides the large number of
sales made by resident agents.
1t was estimated last season the
thirty blowing outfits were operating
In the county and~it is probable that
as many more have been sold this sea-
son to parties who have contracted all
the breaking they can do before seed
ing time. A large percentage OF spring
breaking will be seeded TO fax, while
fax ground Of last season. will be
seeded to wheat or oats. From the
reports all over the country, the north
west has sufficient moisture in the
ground to insure the planting germina-
ton and early growth of small grain.
Cold weather. with intermittent rain
and snow, has put the ground in good
Rcondition. There was more farm work
done last fall In preparation for spring
seeding than ever before.
Along with the spring seeding of
small grain, North Dakota will make
an effort to spread the acreage of corn,
as IL has been shown that corn can be
raised very profltably in this state,
notwithstanding an old prejudice that
still exists in some degree that the
state is too far north. 1t has been
shown that Dunn county soil will grow
a fairly good crop Of corn and a large
acreage will be sown this season.

yesterday on the charge of assault and
battery and received the limit of TWEEN
ty-five days in jail and $50 fine, or
twenty-five days extra service In jail
in default. The complaint was sworn
out by his daughter who accused him
of wife beating. The defendant Is a
farmer in the county and has been In
court before on the same charge. At
other times the case ended by the wife
withdrawing her charges and this time
a similar thing was attempted in spite
of the fact that the woman's face
showed evidences OF some hard treat
ment. The justice, however, refused
to drop the case and 1t went to trial
with the result that the man was con-
victed and now is in the county Jail.

Yarmouth, N. d. March L..
Messrs. Brown and Hughes, who
live down the river couple miles
from town had difficulty last fall
in securing threshing outfit, and
as result decided to buy their
own thresher. 1t was way late in
the fall when they ordered the
outfit and 1t did not arrive until
this month. AS a result Of the ex-
ceedingly fine weather that has
prevailed during the past few
weeks this enterprising farming
firm have set record for late
threshing as they have just COM
pleted their threshing of the 1910
crop. The job consisted of fifty
acres, and when 1t was all completed
they found that the fifty acres had
yielded a return of 1000 bushels of
grain. They will farm on much
larger scale next year.
