MAKES ASTONISHING CURES* Mi-o-no Tablets due Dyspepsia by Promptly Removing the Oaose.. or JMfoney Back. Dyspepsia eannot be eitred by taking a digester, such as pepsin, because pepsin simply digests your food artificially, and not all of the food either, for it has no effect at all on Starchy food, such as potatoes, rice, oatmeal, bread, etc. There is Just one way to cure dyspepsia and stomach disorders, trivial or serious, and that is to tone up or put energy Into the stomach walls, so that they will be able to properly mix or churn the fOQfl. Mi-o-na tablets cure stomach troubles by putting strength and energy into the stomach. They quickly arouse the stomach from Its inaction, and in a short time it is able to do its work properly. Mi-o-na is successfully used in vomiting of pregnancy, in car and sea sickness. And bear in mind when the stomach is in good condition, constipation disappears, ’ also nervousness, drowsiness, night sweats, heartburn, etc. B. F. Fendig, the druggist, sells Mi-o-na tablets at 50 cents a large box, under a rigid guarantee to do all that is claimed for them, or money back. TAKE NOTICE. A series of meetings will be held at the Church of God by Elder S. J. Lindsey of Oregon, 111., commencing Monday night, December 14th. The public is earnestly invited to attend, young and old. You will be well repaid thereby, not in the sensational, dramatic or mirthful anecdotes, interesting only for the moment, but in that which is far more interesting and of enduring enjoyment; in having the Word of life presented in such plain, simple manner, as to be easy of comprehension, inciting to selfappropriation, producing “hungering and thirsting after Righteousness,” thereby not only giving the greatest amount of pleasure now, but also enduring its nature. Such i 6 - the universal reputation given to Mr. Lindsey’s ministration of the Word wherever he goes. His calls many and pressing. Come at the commencement. Don’t miss the opportunity of hearing him —a teacher in very deed. xx THE CHICAGO JOURNAL.

White County Officer Fractures Skull of Frank McCully Over Trivial Matter. White County Democrat: Ab a result of an altercation over a trivial matter last Friday, Frank McCully, a brother of Sheriff Hdm McCully, Is lying at his home in Burnetts ville with a fractured skull and Truant officer T. M. Irelan is under a thousand dollar bond awaiting the result of the injuries. Report has it that Mr. Irelan had taken a horse to Myers’ blacksmith shop to be shod and went out. The smith's foreman pulled the old shoes off and trimmed the horse’s feet. Coming back later Irelan found him taking a pair of shoes off a horse belonging to Mr. McCully, and thinking they were neglecting his, Irelan’s, to favor McCully, he objected. In the controversy which followed Mr. McCully took a part, but no blows were struck and Mr. Irelan again left the shop. Returning after a while he picked up the shoes that had been prepared for his horse and said he would go elsewhere to have his work done. Before going out he passed a remark or two with Mr. McCully and then suddenly dealth him a blow with the shoes' which he held in his hand. The blow knocked Mr. McCully unconscious and after he had fallen it seems his assailant struck him again before by-Standers interfered. One of the Mows Is thought to have fractured «he base of the skull behind the ear. At last reports the injured man was said to be softie better and it was thought he would recover. Irelan was arrested and placed under bond for his appearance to answer such charge as the result of the assault may cause to be made against him.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

Niw Secretary of the Navy. Truman H. Newberry of Detroit ■accessor to Victor H. Metcalf a* Mere tary of the navy, is the first map who has had the benefit of any technical naval training to be at the head of the department in many yean. He has long been lntesested In naval affairs and was an enthusiastic member of the Michigan naval reserves of his state, developed through hts fondness for yachting. A story is told of

TRUMAN H. NEWBERRY.

him that when the Michigan naval reserves volunteered for service in the Spanish war and were assigned to the Yosemlte Mr. Newberry, who was then rated as a “landsman,” was busily swabbing down the deck one day when two officers came by and got into discussion as to the identity of a certain yacht lying in the stream near the Yosemite. Finally one of the officers said to Newberry: “Wbat yacht is that, my man?” “Mine, sir,” replied Newberry, with a salute, and went on swabbing the deck. Mr. Newberry has had a successful business career and is now connected as director with a number of large corporations, including banks. Iron and steel concerns and elevators. The new secretary is forty-four years old and to a graduate of Yale. His appointment gives general satisfaction in the navy, where he has had the unusual fortune in his three years’ service as assistant secretary to win the approval and support of both line and staff officers.

Famous Trust Inquisitor. Frank B. Kellogg, the government's famous “trust buster." was faced by a group of notables In bis cross examination of the oil magnates at New York. At the hearing in connection with the United States government suit against the Standard OH company John D.. Rockefeller, John D. Archbold and William Rockefeller were among those subjected to the keen probe of Mr. Kellogg. There is absolutely no chance of John D. Rockefeller or any of bis associate witnesses suffering any personal penalty If this case goes against them. They cannot be lmprisotfed or fined. Even if the Standard Oil company should be convicted no fine can be imposed. The dissolution of the Standard OR Company of New Jersey is asked. The granting of this would mean that the New Jersey corporation, with a capital of $98,838,600, would no longer he able to blanket the 12S foreign and dome-

tic corporations which go to make up the trust. They would have to become separate corporations, with distinct boards of officers and directors. If the government wins the suit Mr. Kellogg will come in for a share of the glory. He is a resident of St. Paul and stands high in the legal profession. It was he who conducted the examination of E. H. Harriman in the inquiry into the operation of the Pacific roads and the Alton system. He was also counsel for the government in the paper trust cases.
