Indigestion
Causes Dizziness, Nervousness,
Biliousness, Sick Headaches and
Sleeplessness.

You know that most of the ailments
named above come from an out of
order stomach.
When your food reaches the stom
ach it should digest and furnish nu
triIious matter to the blood.
If it doesn't digest, but lays heavily
on your stomach, it has started to
ferment.
When it ferments it sets loose in
the stomach poisonous gases which
irritate the great pneumogastric nerve
that leads directly from the brain to
the stomach.
That irritation causes heartburn,
nightsweats, nervousness, and other
ailments.

SALE WAS NOT CONFIRMED.
Attorney Schwenk OF BrattIeboro
Thought Bid for Hardware & Wooden.
ware Properties Inadequate,

Opposition to the confirmation of the
sale of the 10 plants of the Hardware &
Woodenware company of New York, in
GLIDING the S. A. Smith plant in Brat
tleboro, was made by Attorney A. F.
Schwenk of this town before Judge j.
l.. Martin in New York Tuesday, on the
ground of an inadequate bid, and the
sale was not confirmed, but was held
open pending the receipt of more bids
At the auction sale in Worcester Feb
Fl the plants were bid off for $4,000 by
r. B. Fentrees of Baltimore. In view of
the opposition Tuesday Judge Martin de-
clded to delay confirmation to March 30
to allow any person an opportunity to
raise the bid to $4,000. Judge Martin
agreed that II any person would agree to
bid that amount and deposit $4,000 as
evidence of good faith he would again
offer the properties for SALE the de-
postor to forfeit the $4,000 If he failed
to make good his promise to bid $40, 900.
The factory managers of nine plants,
including the s. A. Smith plant, have
made an offer of $4,000 for those nine
concerns, but the court does not see the
way clear to permit the sale of a part Of
the plants, leaving the others on the re-
| ceivers hands.
At the sale in Worcester r. B. Cooley
| of New York bid off the accounts receiv-
able for $4,000. He withdrew his bid
| Tuesday. being convinced that the bid
was inadequate and would not be con-
| firmed The accounts amount to s115,
| 900 and II is believed that at least 500, 600
OF that amount is collectible.

expecting a large dividend, whatever the

Frank NJ. Looking, Silas Yellowowl,
Peter Dearsteps, Philip Blackmoon,

ter an investigation they declared
that death was selfinficted on &C.
count Of dependency caused by
ruling OF the Indian council that he
should make a different disposition of
the effects Of deceased brother, than
the one which he had attempted to
make. Since the time OF the suicide
a number Of the Indians about Cherry
creek claim to see ghosts about and
in their houses, and some Of them are
in condition bordering on terror
from these alleged visitations.
