J. H, HELLER, Manager. Senator Slack has introduced«a bill calling for qualifications before a man can vote. One of the requisites is that he must be in possession of a receipt for poll tax, and another is that he must be able to read and write thei English language. The average man | will say that the requirements are not unreasonable; in fact a man who does not work out his poll tax or who can neither read nor write English, could hardly consider it a hardship if de-! prived of the right to vote. It is not at all likely that the measure will become a law, however. The Democratic members of both branches of the legislature have shown a most commendable spirit of harmony. Bills covering all of the platform pledges have been prepared and will be unitedly supported. So far as the Democratic members are concerned it is evident that they clearly understand themselves and mean to do their duty so far as a minority can. A Washington letter says that “Vice President Fairbanks is receiving scores of invitations to deliver addresses in various parts of the coun-j try." Now, we wonder v> hy. Mr. i Fairbanks, has no opinions or convic-1 tiofiS on public questions, and his cus-, toiUary verbal inanities are not en- j tletng. Perhaps the people only want I to see his brindle whiskers., Died of old age at the age of eleven, is the verdict of physicians given in regard to a Minneapolis child, who. ■ bright in infancy, began to fail, both ' mentally and physically at the age of six; became gray and walked with the debility of an old man. —South Bend Times.

The earlier part of the evening was spent in unmasking and guessing who each other was. This caused a great deal of merriment. A delightful musical program, to which all the guests j contributed, occupied the latter part of the evening. At ten thirty the guests were served a delicious supper in the dining room. The lodge members presented Mrs. Shanks with a beautiful china dish. Dorothy, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Dugan of Monroe street, pleasantly entertained a few of her'little girl friends, Saturday afternoon, from 2 t<” 4 o’clock.

BEWARE OF “DIGESTIVES” The Only Way to Cure Stomach Disorders is by Strengthening the Digestive Organs. — The ordinary pepsin tablet has ruined more stomachs than all other causes combined. While it gives temporary relief, it leaves the digestive system weaker than ever, and the jablets must be continued with increased frequency. | The only way to permanently cure ' stomach troubles is by strengthening the digestive organs with a Mi-o-na stomach tablet taken before meals. In this way the remedy prepares the stomach for" the food and excites the secretion of gastric juices so that, when the food is eaten, the stomach is prepared to digest it. If Mi-o-na was a mere digestive, it I would be taken after eating, so as to ■ mix with the food, but then permanent relief would not be gained. I Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold only in a neat metal box, convenient for the purse or vest pocket, and cost but fifty cents. The Holthouse Drug company has seen so many cures made by Mi-o-na stomach tablets that they give a guarantee with every box that the money will be refunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction. You run no risk in using Mi-o-na, for you are sure to be cured at a trifling expense, or else your money will be refunded. n ■ - Mary—Dark circles under the eyes indicate a sluggish circulation or torpid liver and kidneys. Exercise daily and take Hollister’s Rocky Mountain Tea. Twill do you good. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets. Smith. Yager & Falk.
