battel y on his wife. Stanley Stawney,
his step-son, was the pioseiutoi. The

SOUR STOMACH (Acid Dyspepsia,)
Now Recognised as the Causo of
Serious Diseases.
Acid Dyspoppln, unmutmily called
liPititbutti or sour stomach, Is a foi in
of Indigestion lesitltltiff fiom fetnienlit
tlon of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest II, tho food
i cumins until fet mentation begin'', fill
ing the stomach with gas, and it bitter,
sour, binning tnBte In llio inoulh Is
often picscnt, This condition soon be
comes chionlc and being an every day
occutiencff is given but llttto attention.
Because Dyspepsia Is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
double.
It is now well known unions able
physicians (hot the whole constitution
Is gradually undermined nnd weakened,
that tho nerves nnd vital organs mo
seriously affected by any foim ot dys
pepsia. This Is plain, as every organ,
'oeiy neivo In the body Is noiti lulled
by the blood and tho blood Is replen
ished from the food digested. If the
food is properly digested the blood is
puie, tho nerves steady, but If supplied
from a sour, fermenting, decaying mass
the blood Is vitiated, poisoned and the
result is shown in sleeplessness, lack of
energy, poor appetite, nervousness.
Kvciy trifle Is magnified nnd the dys
peptic sees nothing but the dark side of
everything.
Within a recent peiiod n lemcdy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known us Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
nnd it Is now becoming rapidly used
and proscribed us a radical cure for
every form of dyspepsia.
It is not claimed to cure anything ex
cept dyspepsia and stomach weakness
In Its various forms, but for this it has
been shown to be unequalled. The emi
nent specialists, Reed and O'Loary,
have recently stated that they consid
ered Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an un
failing specific for disorders of the di
gestive organs, nnd the remaikable
cures made In cases of long stnndlng
dyspepsia proves that this lemedy has
extraordinary merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed befoio the public and aie sold
by druggists everywhere at 50 cents
per package, and Thlle it promptly and
effectually lestoies a vigorous diges
tion, at the same time is peifectly
harmless and will not injure the most
delicate stomach, but on the contrary
by giving perfect digestion, strengthens
the stomach, impiovos the appetite and
makes life worth living.

VERDICT AGAINST CITY,
Refeiee C. B. Little Finds in Favor
of the Dime Deposit and Dis
count Bank.
Attorney C. H. Little, who was ap
pointed by couit to take pidpnce in
tho case of the Dime Deposit and Dis
count bank against tho city, bus len
deied a decision in fin or of the plain
tiff, aw in ding a eidicl of $lS,uno, the
lull amount asked for.
The suit was brought to leccnoi
money due ou paving bonds, issued In
payment for the woik of paving Wash
ington inenuc. and the city's defense
was that these bonds did dot mature
until the assessments for the pave bad
boon all paid up by the piopeity own
eis. In his opinion Mr. Little sets foith
that the city has been lucking In vigil
ante in its effotts to collect the assess,
menta and that tlio otdinance under
which they weie made is illegal because
It piovides tor a gi eater assessment
thnn Is necessuiy to eauy out the
woik, in that it pinvlded for the keep
ing of the p.ivo in lepalr tor il poind
of yeuis,
City Solicitor Watson Is engaged In
piepatlng assignments of cuor. The
most important point which he will
i also is that the agieomont to pay the.
bonds lu ten years ns pinvlded by t'o
ordinance was conditioned upon col
lections being made,

MERCANTILE APPRAISER.
Will Bo Named by County Commis
sioueis Wltliiu a Few Days.
The county commissloneis will meet
in a few days to elect a meicantlle up
ptalfcer for the year 100J.
It Is County Commissioner Dui kin's
turn to name tho mercantile appraiser
this year. His choice will be Select
Councilman John Regan, of the Sixth
ward,
A eonsldciublc amount of loittlno
business was transacted at lust night's
meeting of the common council mid it
adjourned to meet next Thuisday night
as Us next tegular meeting night will
be Uhilstinns.
At the next meeting Senator-elect P.
F, Culpln nud llcprcsontatlve-oloct Ft oil
Phillips will resign their scats from tho
Sixth and Eleventh wards as they will
enter upon their legislative duties at
Hairlsbttrg on the Hist Monday in Jan
uary. It Is piobable that no one will bo
elected for the tmcxplicd term of Mr.
Phillips, as it is only about three
months. Mr. Calpln has it year and
tlncc months to serve, but a few months
ago a joint committee of council re
duced tho repiesentatlon of the Sixth
ward fiom two members to one and It
is probable that the lotlilng senator
elect may have no successor.
When the select council resolution
was read last night piovldlng for a
mandamus on the dliector of public
woiks to compel him to cause a biidgo
to be erected over the Roaring Biook at
Ash street, Mr. Keller wanted to know
the purpose of It nnd if It was the fair
thing to do under the circumstances.
"The bildge Is necessary, and I want
to see It built," said Mr. Keller, "but Is
this the quickest and best way to get
this improvement?"
Mr. Glenn moved that the lesolutlon
be refened to the city solicitor for an
opinion as to the powers of the director
In the mntter of building bildges. This
motion uns adopted.
These resolutions were introduced and
adopted: For flic hydrant nt Reynolds
and Adams avenue in FItst wind; te
questing the streets nnd biidgo commit
tee to islt North Main avenue and
Reese street and nscentain the condi
tion of the sidewalks on Main avenue
