After each meal, hes;would fuel bloated and belching became a habit. He began to be a light eater and a heavy thinker. He tried to think out a cure, for now he would lt down at hi meal absolutely disgusted at the thought or sight of anything to eat. He would sit down at his meals with out the trace of an appetite, just because It wa time to eat. He would often feel a gnawing, unsat isfied "still-hungry" feeling In hi stom ach, even 'after he waa through eating, whether hi meal wa well cooked or not. ' And , he auffered a good many other thing with his stomach that he could not explain, but that made him grouchy, miserable, out-'o-eorts and generally sour ou everybody and everything.

The appropriations last year were greater than those for 1906 by reason of the fact that the city council raised a number of salaries, that of the chief of the police de partment being increased to $126 a month from 1100, and that of the members of the police and fire departments from fi6 to 870 a month. The salary of the captain of police wa Increased from 270 to 875 -a month, and that of the city clerk from 81.o to 21.200 a year.

Brown, the saloon crusader from Kan sas, ha not been seen since last Thursday, the day before the district court grand Jury made Its report, and he Is believed to have left the city, but whether only for a short , time or for good Is not known. It is not known that the fact that the grand Jury was expected to make a report on Friday had anything to do with Mr. Brown leaving the city. Much secrecy Is maintained in the office of County Attorney Hess, but It ) a well-known fact that number of witnesses were summoned be fore the grand Jury to testify as to their dealings with Mr. Brown. Most of the wit nesses were saloonmen upon whom Mr. Brown served notice of Injunction suits. but who were not Included In the batch of petitions filed by him. It was generally reported that certain saloonkeepers had "settled" with Mr. Brown, thereby averting the Injunction suits. What the nature of these settle ments were. It Is understood, the grand Jury was endeavoring to ascertain. There wsa more or less talk of a charge of ex tortion being preferred against Mr. Brown, but whether an indictment on such a charge was found by the grand Jury, County Attorney Hes yesterday declined to state. It Is known that the grand Jury returned two Indictments, which have as yet not been made public, the parties named in them not being in custody.

Establishes Insurance Department. The senate today passed the bill to es tablish a state Insurance department with a commissioner at 83,500 a year. The bill was hard fought on the floor on the ground that this does not seem to be necessary at a time when the Insurance interests of the state are In such excellent condition and under control of the present state auditor. The debate also largely turned upon a question as to whether or not the Insurance companies or the Insured are asking for a separate department and whether the commission which Investigated the matter last summer did so with re gard to the policyholders.

It is thought death was Woman's Watchword Whatever threatens woman's delicate sense of modesty, frightens her. For this reason many a woman permits disease of the delicate womanly organs to become aggravated because she cannot bring herself to submit to the ordeal of unpleasant questionings, offensive examinations, and obnoxious local treatments, which most physicians think necessary.' Doubtless thousands of the women who have taken advantage of DrJ Fierce offer of free consultation by letter have been led to do so by the escape thus offered from a treatment repugnant to modesty. Any sick woman may write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., in perfect confidence; all letters of consultation being treated as strictly private and sacredly confidential, and all answers being sent in plain envelopes with no advertising or other printing upon them. Such consultation costs you nothing whether you take treatment from Dr. Pierce or not. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been long hailed as a "God send to women." It makes weak women strong and sick women well, it enables wom en Buffering from "female weakness," prolapsus uteri, retroversion, antever sion, and other displacements of the organs distinctly feminine,' to cure themselves right in the privacy of their homes.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman's delicate system. It is made of native American medicinal roots and is perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the female lyttem.
