STICKS IN THE STOMACH.
Peeling That Often (Vimes to People
With Weak Digestion.
A poor sufferer from indigestion
once said that his stomach felt ay
though It was filled with sticks and
as though some of them were on
on Are and burning him up Inside.
When the stomach and the or-
gans of digestion and nutrition are
weakened and do not act properly,
the symptoms of ill health that fol-
low are many and varied. There
is often a feeling of heaviness in
the stomach, there is distress and
nervousness, dizziness, nausea, ner-
vous and sick headaches. Inability
to sleep well, pains in the slda and
limbs, specks before the eyes and a
general peevish, irritable condition.
All these troubles are the direct
result of indigestion. Cure this by
strengthening the stomach and di-
gestive system with Ml-o-na stomach
tablests and your symptoms of ill
health will vanish like dew before
the morning sun; life will be Joyous,
and you will forget that you have a
stomach.
Ml-o-na stomach tablets cost but
50c a box and are sold by Smith
Bros, under an absolute guarantee
that they will be successful In every
case where used according to direc-
tions or money will be refunded.

A Shotgun Story.
Dr. Whltten Gives Good Account of
Himself at Howie.
Mr. William Shlpler, expert in the
•mploy of the Mosler Safe Company
of Hamilton, Ohio, has Just finished
the work of installing for the Conti-
nental Bank and Trust Co., of our
city one of the handsomest and best
burglar proof outfits ever put in by
any bank In North Texas. A rep-
resentative of the Dally Courier-Ga-
zette and The Democrat-Gaxette was
invited to Inspect the work and was
much surprised at what he found.
The vault is fined throughout top,
bottom and sides with heavy chrome
steel. A screw door, burglar proof
safe, of the Mosler pattern, sur-
rounded by eight silver chests, cov-
ers one end of the vault. Separating
these snfes from the other part of
vault Is steel grille work extending
from floor to celling. In thlB grille
Is an automatic door, so arranged
as to preclude the possibility of ever
being accidentally left open. The
Inside door of the vestibule is of
heavy chrome steel, operated by s
combination lock and Is, Itself, far
superior to the average vault door.
But It. is the outer, or main vaudt
door that represtnts the latest and
best in the art of vault building.
The door and the vestibule In which
it hangs, weighs more than Are and
a quarter tons. It is equipped with
a double automatic locking device,
controlled by three watch move-
ments. It has no combination
lock at all, thus doing away with the
necessity for any opening In the
door. This door Is hung on ball-
bearing hinges and so well balanced
that notwithstanding its enormous
weight, It opens and closes by the
presure of a finger. We are pleas-
ed to see such substantial Improve-
ments In our city.
The bank officials request us to
sav that the public is cordially invit-
ed to Inspect the work.
Some bargains in Floyd and other adjoining counties (on the plains ) ThVse
plains lands are growing more popular every day, consequently prices are ad«
vancing. These doubled the past la months. It is now an assured fact that
we have a farming, fruit and vegetable country and with the railroad fa ility
that we will soon have, why is not that $10 land more profitable than your $50
per acre land. Floyd county has 630,000 acres of land, and 600,000 is just a?
rich as yours, water as good as yours. The large stock man is a thing of the
past. Our farmers have $100,000 on deposit. They make it honestly :

The Itrenth of Life.
It'B a significant fact that the
strongest animal of it's size, the Bar-
illa, also has the largeBt lungs. Pow-
erful lungs means powerful creatur-
es. How to keep the breathing or-
gans right Bhould be man's chlefest
study. Like thousands of others
Mrs. Ora A. Stephens, of Port Wil-
liams, O., has teamed how to do
this. She writes: "Three bottles of
Dr. King's New Discovery stopped
my cough of two years and cured me
of what my friends thought consum-
ption. O, It's grand for throat and
lung trouble. Smith Bros., drug-

NO JURORS QUALIFIED.
Theft of Watermelon Case Dismiss-
ed by Novel Plan.
Temple, Texas, Sept. 2.—Ten
young men residing near Heiden-
heimer have been on trial In the
Justice court at Belton during the
past week charked with stealing
a watermelon. The cases have
aroused a great deal of interest and
attracted so many people to the
hearings that it was necessary to
adjourn to the grand Jury room In
the court house. The first case
tried resulted in the accused being
convicted and a fine with costs ag-
gregating 948 was assessed. The
second case brought in an acquittal
aud the third a hung Jury, after
which the remainder of the c
were thrown out of court.
After losing his first case the at- X
torney for the defense hit upon the
plan of questioning each Juryman as
to whether he had ever stolen wa-
termelons as a boy and when this
phase of the matter dawned fully
upon Ihe Jurymen convictions were
impossible nnd the state's attorney
threw up his hands In disgust.
