CITY WINS OLD
ASSESSMENT CASE

City Attorney Geo. r. Wilbur Tues
day received an announcement from
Judge W. l.. Bradshaw, of The Dalles,
of favorable decision for the city in
the cases of II. c. Deitz, Frank Parker
and DR.. M. H. Sharp, who began in
junction proceedings five years ago in
an effort to restrain the municipality
from collecting assessments for i'm
provements of State street, on which
property of the plaintiffs abutted, The
street Improvement was begun in 1910.
The plaintiffs went so far as to take
advantage of the state bonding law in
payments for initial improvement. But
on the following year the contractor
not having finished his work, a supple
mentary assessment was levied, and
the aggrieved parties were granted
temporary injunction. the same having
existed until Judge Bradshaw g decree
yesterday.
The plaintiffs alleged that the whole
of the charter pertaining to the method
of street improvements was unconstitu-
tion-al and void. They claimed collu-
sion between the city engineer, 2. NJ.
Morse. and W. G. Aldred, the contract.
or, existed, in that the engineer allowed
a higher price for certain work than
that of specifications, and it was de-
clared that the city recorder had guar.
anteed that the cost of the work would
not exceed certain amounts far less
than the actual assessments levied.
| All allegations were denied by the
city, and evidence was introduced to
show that the charge for collusion re-
suited from the plaintiffs misunder-
standing as to classiications of the
work. The alleged guaranty of the
city recorder was shown to be no more
than the customary estimated cost OF
construction furnished by such officer.
The cost of the street improvement to
the property involved in the cases was
very heavy. The initial assessents to
the lot belonging to MIR. Dietz reached
sum of SS97.93; supplementary,
Sl08.08.
1t is expected that the cases will be
carried to the supreme court.

Open VIOLATION
0FLAW CHARGED
More Funds Needed to In
vestigate Pigging Says
States Attorney.

Moorhead, Minn., March O. Open
and flagrant violations OF the ary law
have prevailed in Moorhead and
Barnesville during the past few weeks
according to States Attorney, c. G..
Dosland, who. in an address to the
Clay County No License league. de-
clared funds available for the gath
ering of evidence were entirely made
quate. Attorney Dosland said private
subscriptions by supporters of the dry
laws would be essential if effective
work was to be accomplished.
Pointing to the arrest of eleven
alleged offenders in recent raids, dur
ing which over 5000 bottles of liquor
were confiscated. the states attorney
declares the arrests were the result
Of information obtained by operatives
employed by him, and he anticipates
little trouble in securing the convict
ion of at least some of those who
have been arrested.
THE option law has been openly
violated in this county. especially in
Moorhead and GAINESVILLE. from the
day the "dry" period started" the
county attorney told the no-license
men,. "At first, the violaters were
careful, and sold only to their close
friends, but during the recent weeks,
they have become bold and have sold
liquor literally to almost any CUSTOM
er.
Until the recent condition started
it has been almost impossible to get
evidence that would convict. This
year we have been able to get only
$500 for operations from the county,
and had it not been for the outside
aid from several private citizens. we
would have little chance to carry on
the right kind OF war against the
blind piggers.'
The no-license forces pledged them
selves to give any aid that may be
necessary to bring about the strict
steps along that line at once.
No change was made in the officers
of the league, the same officials be-
ing reelected. About hundred

There are not many stars" Jones
allows. You can count them among

that Plank, Wagner and Crawford, for
instance, were as good at 35 as when
they broke in.

as he did in 1903. Plank is Al but his

FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results
From an Excess of Hydro
chloric Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air.
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hy-
per-acidity, meaning, there Is an ex-
cess of ydro-chloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sOurs in can,
forming acid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like a toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy, a lumpy, misery
in the chest. we belch up gas, we cruc-
tate sour food or have heartburn,
flatulence. water-brash or nausea.
He tells lis to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast and drink while
it is effervescing and furthermore, to
continue this for a week. While re-
lief follows the first dose, it is i'm
portant to neutralize the acidity, re-
move the gas-making mass. start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote free flow Of pure digestive
juices.
