Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
GIVE PERFECT DIGESTION,
SOUND SLEEP, STRONG
NERVES.
A Popular Remedy for Dyspepsia
Which Has Made Many Remark
able Ctues.
The spring of the year Is the lime for
blood pttrlllers. It Is tlio season when
we think we must dose ourselves with
sai-snpnillln, bitler and tho endless
list of so-called iblootl purifiers and
nc'HP tonics.
As a matter of fact, thrio Is but one
possible way in which lo purify the
blood, and Ihut Is, through the stom
ach and bowels.
Pure blood tesuli from wholesoma
food thoroughly diner I Impure
blood from poor digestion and assimil
ation. When the stomaeh refuses to
wotk pioperly the food remains too
long a time, fermenting, forming gases,
shown by sour, bitter tnstc in the
mouth, bloating and ibclchlng of gns,
and distress and dlscomfoit generally.
Poor blood, weak nerves, sleeplessness
und a general don't care feeling can
alums bo traced to Imperfect diges
tion. This is thu reason why Stuaifs Dys
pepsia Tablets are superior to all other
sptlng medicines "and Wood piulllers.
They give poifect digestion, tho food
does not lie In tho stomach for hours.
They give a vlgoious appetite, sound
sleep, strong, nerves, and wholesome
food well digested lruUces pure blood,
and In no other way can tho blood bo
puilfled. The idea that a medicine, in
Itself, will puiiry the- blood when tho
stomach and digestive organs are out
of order Is nonsense. Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets aie used by thousands In
preference to "bitters," "after dinner
pills" and "blood purifiers" because
thev i oino vc the cause" of thp impure
blood, and you do not have to take
them foiever to get lesults. Dyspepsia
is an obstlnato disease to cuin and a
remedy must be designed especially for
It and nothing else. Cute-alls will not
euro dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets aie not
claimed to cure everything or any
thing except Dyspepsia and stomach
tiouble, and for lhat it stands alona
among patent medicines-. Anyone suf
fering fiom nnv trouble with their di
gestion will tlnd these tablets will give
immediate relief and a peimanent cure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pre
pared by tho J?. A. Stuait Co., of Mar
shall, Mich., and sold by druggists
ovcrj where at HO cents per package. No
dieting nor change of habits is le
cjuired, they digest the food.
A veidict of not guilty was taken
hot ore Judge Kelly in tho else of
Rcnnlp Welmanovltz and Bennie Roth,
charged bv V. Landau with secreting
pioperly, with intent to defraud.
VERDICT DIRECTED.
Judge Kelly ditected a vol diet of
not guilty in the case of not guilty
in the case of Isaac L. Hnrris, alla3
A. Hauls, chaigcd by L. Ft eedman,
of New Voik, with laiceny by bailee
and embezzlement by consignee. Treed
man alleges that his Arm consigned
to Hauls on memoiantlum $1,000 worth
of fuis and that ho lofused to return
the goods or their value. The defense
contended that tho piosecution having
failed lo show that the goods had been
disposed of, could not maintain either
chaise, and the com t ruled the point
well taken.
The jury in tlio case of Heniy Fen
wick, chaiged by Mary Whittington
with being tlio father ot her child,
went out at 30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and had not returned at adjourning
time.
On motion ot Attoniev James II.

ACTION ON APPROPRIATION
BILL POSTPONED.
It Was Rumored That a Plan Was on
Foot to Curtail City Clerk's Duties
nnd Assign Thorn lo the Recorder's
Secretaiy and the Ordinance Was
Accordingly Held Up Central
Rapid Transit Ordinance Very
Much Amended Opinion by So
licitor Watson.
Tile appropriation ordinance camo up
on third and final leading In select
council laBt night, but when Clerk La
velle lwd Ilnlshcd rending it, Mr.
Vaughan moved unexpectedly thnt ac
tion bo postponed until the next meet
ing, and the motion was carried "by a
vote of eleven to nine. Bcliind this un
expected act-ion lies a story.
When the ordlnanco was llrst culled
up, Mr. demons moved fltat council go
Into committee of tho -whole i'or tho
purpose of amending it so as to leduce
the salary of the mayor's secretary,
who. be said, was not entitled to St.fiOO
a year, as tho duties pertaining to the
offlco would now be less than they
have been in the past, Tho motion was
defeated by tho following vote:
Yets Finn, MorRin, Jlerrinnii, Coiurove, Oil.
ter, Olemoni, Vaimhati 7.
Niv-Oostillo, JteRin, Mehin, Wanner, Shea,
Ri-lineider. Coleman, O'Boile, O'Mallry, MeVn
drew, Chillpiuleii 11.
Clerk Livplle then began the reading
of the ordinance and while iho was
doing so some one whispered to Mr.
Vaughan that a plan was on foot to
ship the city clerk's office of all duties
except those of a merely clerical na
ture and to place tho work of drawing
and Issuing city wanants in the bands
of tho mayor's cletk.
ACTION POSTPONED.
Mr. Araughan Immediately pioceeded
to riklrmlsh around for sufficient vote
to socuro a postponement of action
on tho ordinance until tho next meet
ing and that die was successful can
bo seen fcy tho vole on tho motion to
postpone, which was as follows:
Yeas ruin, Ito-st, Kan, Jrorgin, Jlegin, Met
rlmin, Coxgnwc, Olivei, demons, Vaughiu,
O'Mallev U.
X.is Costcllo, Mdvin, Chiltrnden, Sehneidfr,
Shea, Sclnoedei, O'llojte, McAndrevv, Wagner 3.
Tho reason for the postponement of
action was explained after tho meet
ing by one of the members who voted
in favor of it. Ho .said that an at
tempt w'otild be made between now
and next Thursday night to secure a
sufficient number of votes to re-consider
action and to so i educe the sal
ary of tho recoidei's secretary as to
render it unlikely that he would agtee
to take upon himself the work of
thawing warrants and paying them.
He said that a reduction of the salary
to $600 might even be considered and
stated that the friends of City Clerk
Lavello could ho expected to rally to
the suppoit of such a proposition.
The ordinance awarding a franchise
to bhe Central Rapid Transit Street
Railway company passed tirst leading
after the amendments offered by the
railway committee, and excliibively

system: (hat at the end of forty
yeaia the fiancliiso shall revert to the
c!ly and that cms must be startfil

When these amendments had been
adopted as it w hole, Mr. Finn moved
lhat tlio lime for the reversion of the
lranclilso to the city lie made twenty
tlve years instead of foity, but the
