Take a Sunshine Tablet for
Thy Stomach's Sake

There never was such marvellous
prescription for stomach distress and
Indigestion as Mi-o-na.
No doctor ever wrote a better one
it's doubtful If any doctor ever will
It's so good that H. c. Kennedy says
money back if 1t doesn't relieve.
A woman in Maine calls Mi-o-na the
sunshine prescription because she has
seen so many sour, miserable. aggra-
waiting dyspeptics turned into happy
cheerful, sweet human beings in a
few days by taking Mi-o-na.
The stomach is responsible fol
ee-fourths of the nervousness and
half che misery of the world. A
woman can have a hrst-c class stomach
and yet be miserable IL she has a hus-
band who is a nervous dyspeptic.
If you have indigestion, belching OF
gas, heaviness after eating. drowsy
sensation after eating sour stomach
or any miserable stomach disturbance
the prescription called Mi-o-na will
put you right, and bring sunshine
into your life in a week.
A large box of Mi-o-na tablets cost
only so cents at II. c. Kennedy's and
by leading druggists everywhere
They are small and easy to swallow

determination of litigation over in

Secretary Baker Confers With
General Chosen to Com
mand American Forces

Washington, Aug 9.-Confdential
instructions were handed to Major
General William S Graves. at Kansas

Baker covering the American mill
tary expedition to Siberia which Cen
eral Graves will command. Mr.. Baker
on his return to Washington to-day
disclosed that the object 81 his trip
was to confer with General Graves.
who had been summoned from Camp
Fremont. Cal, to meet him at Kansas
City
The Secretary said he assumed that
a japanese officer would be the rank
ing officer of the inter-Allied forces
sent to Siberia and would preside
at any conference of the various COM
Nmanders. No step toward the selec-
tion of a commander for the entire
army has been taken, he added
Information now available indicates
that the Japanese will send a Lieu
tenant General in command of the
Japanese forces, which probably will
exceed slightly in numbers the Amer
lean contingent The American forces
probably will number less than TO-
900 under present plans.
1t was originally planned that Gen
eral Baron Uyehara, chief of staff of
the Japanese Army, would head
Japan's force as senior officer of the
expedition. Owing to the smallness
of the force to be sent at first this
idea was abandoned. The total num-
ber of troops, it is estimated here
will number approximately $4,000 at
the beginning of the operations.

of the new government in Northern

LIABILITIES OF
BRETZ BROTHERS
TOTAL S1S3,OOO
Harry M. and Charles E. Brett
File Schedules; Assets
Will Not Meet Debts

Schedules of the accounts of Harry
NJ. Bretz and Charles e. Bretz, filed
with John T. Olmsted, referee in
bankruptcy, to-day show that the
liabilities greatly overbalance the as
sets. The liabilities of Harry NJ.
Bretz are S137,527.1S as compared
with assets of $109.S10. Liabilities
of Charles e. Bretz are $46,449.22
and assets $22,075.
No mention is made of judgments
recorded within the past four months
which are not considered liens, al
though such judgments will total
many thousands. Creditors in these
judgments will receive only a pro
rata share of the estate after all
other claims have been satisfied.
More than one-third of the claims
against Harry NJ. Bretz are secured.
but the far greater amount of them
are entirely unsecured. The secured
claims lodged against him total $53,-
200. Those without any security at
all represent the value of $751;
320.03. Other liabilities of Bretz's in
clude s262.15 due in taxes, and $4Oo
in accommodation paper; while
S2,345 in notes and bills which
should be paid by others are includ-
ed in the statement of liabilities.
The total amount of liabilities should
be reduced by approximately $1S,-
900, the amount of duplication occa-
stoned by notes on which the three
brothers, Charles, Harry and Will
liam, are joint makers.
The assets of Harry NJ. Bretz show
that he has real estate on which he
places the value of S95,750. OF this
amount, $4,000 is claimed for the
209-11 Chestnut street building in
which the Bretz Brothers hardware
store is located.
His partnership in this firm he
values at $1,000. Horses, cows and
other animals on his farms he values
at $4,000 and on them he also has
machinery and tools to the value of
81, 900. Moneys due him on open ac-
counts total $4,000, while he owns
investment stocks and bonds worth
81. .760. He carries life insurance of
SIC, 900 face value, but little If any,
thing can be realized on this, mas
much as 1t is assigned to his wife.
The liabilities of Charles E. Bretz
show secured claims valued at $l3,-
900 and unsecured ones at S31,-
S77.5s. Notes and bills which should
be paid by others are included in the
liabilities and are worth 1891. Taxes
payable are listed to the value of
SS6.64. Duplication OF $4,000 oc-
casioned by notes of which he is one
of the three joint makers, may be
deducted.
His assets are Just about one-half
of the value of his liabilities. His
partnership in the Bretz Brothers
firm he values at $4,000. His real
estate he values at $16,750. while
he holds stocks and bonds worth
S22,075.
Referee Olmsted announced that
a meeting of the creditors will be
held on Monday afternoon, August
10, at 2 o'clock. in the federal court
room in the Post Office building.
