COUNTERFEIT So GOLD COINS
Gang Supposed to Making Bogus Money
in Vicinity of Lebanon

Lebeaon, March 19.-The belief that
a band of counterfeiters and "coin
sweaters are at work in this part of
the State grows stronger following the
receipt of doctored" SIS gold pieces
and eounterfeits by merchants in this
vicinity. No counterfeits have been
passed in this city proper, however.
The spurious half eagles resemble
nickels that were gold-plated. They
are not as heavy as the genuine but
the imitation is said to be excellent.
This practice had not been complained
of in the east, except in a few instances,
and as merchants have new one to
watch for in the sweated coin they are
cautioned to pay particular attention to
the weight of gold pieces submitted to
them.

Don't Be Fussy
About Eating
Your Stomach Will Digest ANY Kind
of Food When Given the
Proper Assistance

We are prone to fall into the error
of singing out some article of food
and soundly berating the fend who
first invented the dish. The habit
grows with some people till almost all
food is put on the blacklist. This is
all wrong. What is required is a little
assistance with those agencies upon
which scientific students for many
years have set their seal of approval
because they have become absolute
facts. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for
all stomach disorders are recognized; /;
they have fine record, they are rated
reliable, dependable and worthy of con-
fidenee just as the president of big
bank puts his o. X. on depositor's s
check. And so you can eat what you
want, whatever You like, knowing well
that should Indigestion, sour risings,
gas formations, lamentations or any
other stomach distress arise, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets in few moments
will put you right.
Coated tongue, bad breath, heart
burn, belching, fatulency, bloat-all
the symptoms of digestive troubles
disappear quickly when these tablets
are used. They are not a cure for any,
thing but dyspepsia and kindred com
plants. But they have brought relief
to more sufferers from digestive dis
eases than all the patent medicines and
doctors prescriptions put together.
The stomach does the heaviest work
of any of the bodily organs, vet it's
the one we treat with the least re-
gard. We eat too much of the wrong
kind of food at any time. The patient
stomach stands such treatment as long
as it can and then it rebels. You get
notice of the rebellion in the shape of
the gases and pains caused by undi-
|gested, fcrmenting food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
and recommended by all druggists at
|50e a box.

HAS AUTHORITY
 T0 TAX MINES
 PASSED AWAY ?
Interesting Question Affect ing the Power of the Tax Commission to Assess the Producing Mines H a s Been Raised

The events of the last day or two mine tax legislation at this session of the legislature or at a special session if one should be called Sentiment in the house has so crystalliZed that no bill can likely be passed there that the senate would consider. And what then? In that case. it is the opinion of many lawyers that the state would have to revert to the system of assessment of mines by the county assessors and that so far as the mines are concerned they would occupy the position they held before there was any specific legisla- ton on the subject of their assessment.
 The law which expired on January 1 of this year was passed in the last spe
 cial session of the first state legisla
 ture There was then pending the bill which was afterward incorporated in the general taxation law giving to the tax commission specific powers for the assessment of mines. After heated ne- gotiatiOns an agreement was reached between the two houses by which the Graham mine taxing bill, in the house was amended to meet the objections of the senators opposing that system of mine valuations and was offered as an amendment to the general taxation bill There was an added clause that that system of taxation would terminate on January 1,s1915.
 The general taxation bill was known as Senate Bill No. and is now a part of Cha pter 1, Title 49 of the civil code, 1 and clause 13. section 4 of the original act or section 13 of paragraph 1929. Chapter l Title 49 of the civil code is i the one which originally provided that 1 the tax commission should have the power to assess the patented and un-
 patented producing mines within the ! state. The amendment to the original Senate Bill is now embodied in Chap

 The administration also desires to have the Nicaraguan treaty ratified
 particularly because the government
 of that country is said to be facing serious financial difficulties unless il
 can get the money for payment pro- vided for in the treaty.
 It was understood that the presi- dent hopes to have both of these treaties ratified before the formal opening of the Panama Canal in July
 so that at that time entire friendship
 may exist between all the nations in
 America.
 Although administration leaders be- lieve Federal Trade Commissions nom nations can be confined before Marct
