State Superintendent McBrlen is prepar
ing a circular letter addressed to county
superintendents demanding to know
whether the enumeration lists of the va
rious districts have been properly sworn
to, preliminary to the appointment of the

properly certified, thus depriving those dis
tricts of any share in the appropriation,

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE
ITS OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force It to
Work Whoa It is Not Able or loa
Will taller All the More.
You cannot treat your stomach as some
men treat a balky horse; force, drive or
rren starve it Into doing work at which it
t rebels. The atoiimcn Is a patient and
aithiul aervant and will stand much abuse
ind ill-treatment before it "balks," but
when It does you bad better go Blow with
A and not attempt to make It work. Borne
people nave the mistaken Idea that they
:an make their stomachs work by aiarvlns
Uiemaelves. They might cure the slomaon
that way, but It would take so long that
they would hf.ve no use for a stomach
when they got through. The sensible way
out of the difficulty Is to let the stomach
.mat u it waaLS te aad employ a substitute
to do Its work. -
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the
work of your stomach for you and digest
your food Just aa your stomach used to
when It waa well, you can prove this by
putting your food In a glass Jar with one
of the tablets and sufficient water and you
wlU see the food digested In Jum the same
time aa the digestive fluids of the stonv
uch would do It. That will satisfy your
mind. Now, to satisfy both your mind
and body, take 'one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tableta after eating eat all and what you
wanU-and you will feel In your mind that
your food Is being digested because you
will feel no disturbance or weight In your
stomach; In fact you will forget all about
having a stomach, Just aa you did when
you were a healthy boy or girl.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a na
tural way because they contain enly the
natural elements of the gastric- Juices
and other digestive fluids of the stomach.
It makes no difference what condition the
atomauh Is in. they go right ahead of their
own accord and do their work. They know
their business and surrounding conditions
do not Influence them in the least. They
thua relieve the weak stomach of all Its
burdens and give It It much needed rest
and permit It to become strong and
healthy.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at 60 cents a box. They
are so well known and their popularity is
o great that a druggist would as soon
think of being out of alcohol or quinine
ta of them. In fact, physicians are pre
scribing them all over the land, and It
your own doctor la real honest with you,
be will tell you frankly that there is noth
ing on earth so good for dyspepsia as Stu

clal.) Ex-Pollce Judge C. P. Logan was

down town during the day and seemed to
be In his usual health. Logan was re

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 28. The autopsy
held last Sunday on the body , of the late
Midshipman James R.' Branch, Jr., bore
fruit at today's session of the court-martial
which Is trying Midshipman Minor Meri
wether on charges Inclusive of manslaugh
ter Jn connection with the death of Mid
shipman Branch after a fist fight with
Meriwether. The day's testimony was given
chiefly by medical men who had been pres
ent at the autopBy, and bore upon the
question whether the death of Midshipman
Branch resulted from blows of his oppo
nent's fists or from his head striking the
room in which the flght was held, previous
testimony having shown that Branch fell
or was knocked down several times dur
ing the encounter.
Testimony waa also given, according to
which, although the Naval academy hos
pital Journal shows the origin of injuries
for which midshipmen are treated, the
morning sick report sent by the hospital
officers to the superintendent of the acad
emy does not, and a witness giving testi
mony In trils connection said that he knew
of no Inspection of the hospital Journal
having been made by the authorities.
Counsel for Midshipman Meriwether an
nounced that after putting the accused on
the stand In his own defense tomorrow
they will close their case.
Testimony la Detail.
Surgeon E. D. Oatewood waa the first
witness to testify as to matters connected
with the autopsy. He gave a minute and
technical description of the condition which
the autopsy retealed In the case of Branch.
He said that there was no fracture of the
skull nor injury to the membrane of the
brain except that brought about by the
surgical operation. A large clot was
found, however, under the membrane of the
brain. The spinal cord, heart, lungs and
kidneys were found In normal condition
without evidence of previous 111 health in
these organs.
Surgeon Gatewood said that he believed
that It was more likely that the Injuries
were received by Branch's head having
come directly In contact with some hard
object rather than by flat blows. In his
opinion the primary cause of death was
hemorrhage the Increased pressure on the
brain substance caused death.
Surgeon Gatewood was rigidly examined
by Dr. E. W. Glazebrook and Surgeon E.
D. Stokes, the medical experts of the de
fense and prosecution respectively. On
cross-examination the witness said that
there was nothing shown at the autopsy
which disproved that the Injuries had been
caused by the flst blows.
Head Struck Hard Bnbataace.
Medical Director Howard E. Amee, who
went on the stand at the opening of the
afternoon session, said the cause of
Branch's death was hemorrhage under the
covering of the brain, which, he believed,
both frum what he saw during the opera
tion and at the autopsy, had been caused
by Branch's head coming in sharp contact
with some hard substance, like a floor or
a wall.
"The injuries could not," Dr. Amea said,
"have come from blows of the fist encased
in punching bag gloves unless Branch's
head had been against some unyielding sub
stance. The elasticity of the neck and oi
Meriwether's arm and knuckles wouiu nave
made It impossible."
pr. Ames, who has recently been relieved
as medical officer at the Naval academy,
testified that all cases received at the
academy hospital were recorded In a Jour
nal kept for the purpose, and were also re
ported to the superintendent In the morn
ing sick report. The Journal, he said, gave
the origin of Injuries, but the sick report
didn't.
Lieutenant Commander Thomas P. Ma
gruder teytlfled that he did not know of
any inspection of the hospital Journal hav
ing been made by the authorities.
Peculiar Features In Case.
Surgeon E. D. Stokes, U. S. N., who Is
assisting the prosecution, cross-examined
Dr. Ames and the other medical witnesses
offered by the defense, particularly with
regard to the evidence that there was
paralysis of the side of Branch's body,
whereas they Indicated that the probable
Injury was on the same side. In answer
witnesses said that Branch's case pre
sented some very unusual features.
Dr. I W. Glazebrook of Washington,
who Is assisting the defense aa medical ad
visor and who saw the autopsy, was the
last expert witness for the defense. From
what he saw during the autopsy the wit
ness was satisfied that the fatal injuries
were due to Branch's having hit his head
against a hard, unyielding substance, such
as a floor or wall, and could not have been
due to the blows of fists encased in punch
ing bag gloves.
During the course of the proceedings
today United States District Attorney John
C. RoRe, who is assisting In the prosecu
tion, gave notice to the court that he would
object to any further evidence to the effect
that Branch's life might have been saved
by a different method of treatment. This
fact. Mr. Rose said, would, if proved, have
no bearing on the case. The court made no
ruling, as the point was not raised In con
nection with any particular question.

and Olson will remain with the new Judge.
Frank Bandle, who will become register
of deeds January 4, says he has practically
selected his staff, but he Is not yet ready
to announce the names.
County Clerk-elect Haverly says the
same thing and so does John McDonald,
the sheriff-elect. Evidently all hands are
holding off their announcements for the
purpose of trying to ascertain Just what
position the Board of County Commlsslon-
! ers will take after the reorganization of
! that body the first of the year. It appears
I to be fairly certain the board will insist
on the forces of the different county of
fices being kept down to the minimum
where good work can be assured.

of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, the executive
committee of the Commercial club and live

termined to hold another meeting soon to
which the public will be Invited, and at
which the question will be Anally decided.

tee will visit the live stock show which Is
to be given in Chicago, December 16 to 1

board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben, said
there was no more appropriate place in the
United States for a live stock show than
Omaha. He suggested that it might be ad
visable to make such a show a feature of
the Ak-Sar-Ben fall festivities. Mr. Wat
tles referred to the live stock exhibit held
In connection with the Transmlsslaslppl Ex
position and said there had been no divi
sion of opinion as to the advantages derived
from it.
Plenty of Material for F.xhlblta.
W. J. C. Kenyon, manager of the Union
Stock Yards company, gave it aa his opin
ion that stock shows are very largely local
affairs and each one Alls a want In a terri
tory for 200 miles around. At the Chicago
show there is not a single entry from Ne
braska. At a show given in Omaha there
might not be a single entry from the terri
tory which Chicago draws from, but there
would be an abundance from Nebraska,
Iowa, South Dakota and Wyoming.
Mr. Kenyon suggested the Auditorium as
a good place to hold the show, as there are
plenty of vacant lots In the vicinity where
tents may be pitched to shelter the stock
Gilbert M. Hitchcock expressed himself
In favor of the show. He said It ought not
to be attempted1 until the business men bad
pledged enough money for prizes large and
numerous enough to pay the breeders to
exhibit. He anticipated no trouble In that
connection.
