Morris through hi? counsel declared
it was a notorious fact that Giltner
county was practically a unit for Mor
ris, and that the election wherein that
vote wa- cast was perfectly fair and
honest, and that through It he (Morris)
was duly nominated for th< Blue Rldgre
judgeship, and that he should, in right
and justli <. be so declared by the state
committee.
After the allegations had hen read
and answered in their order, counsel
for Morris demurred to the entire pro
ceeding instituted by Patterson, upon
the ground that no legal case had been
made. Counsel then submitted on be
half of Morris a long legal argument
In support of its demurrer.
This demurrer was ordered filed by
the committee, and the hearing pro
ceuded on its merits
Counsel for Morns submitted that

county, was estopped by law front an

Physicians Recommend Cas ria
f"*’ .ASTORIA has met with pronounced ia r or on the part of physicians, pharma
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying, The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the
result of three facts; indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Swomh- That it not only allays ctomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: taw— lt is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe, It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy, It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end, To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information.— Hall’s Journal of 11 'a Uh.

been reduced to the rank of eaptain, is
reported today to have furnished the

dir.ee that District Attorney Whitman

step having been taken, another panel
of 100 men will be drawn, but the graft
investigating grand jury is not expect
ed to meet for nearly a month.

TAKING CALOMEL
LIKE BORROWING
FROM MONEYSHARK
Every Dose Means a Bigger One
Next Month—Calomel Shocks
System Into Temporary Action
Only, Weakens and Robs Or
gans of Natural Action.
Calomel is a powerful rhercuri.il
drug. It crashes into the sour bile on
the stomach and works it up, and the
shock and working ,up of the bile forces
liver' and bowels to action. But with
this forcible■ movement, and the vom
iting. and the awful nausea, the whole
system is weakened, bowels paralyzed,
and a relaxing do-e of castor of! o?
strong salts must be taken.
Now, as only the sour bile has been
removed from the stomach, and noth
ing done to correct what caused this
bile and constipation, in a few weeks
is needed another and a strong.-r
shaking up.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT acts upon
the liver as surely as calomel, but by
stimulation, not force. It removes the
cause of the trouble. It dissolves the
poisonous uric acid that has accumu
lated in the system and carries it off in
the urine, and it quickly flushes the
alimentary tract and cleanses it of all
waste and fermentation. It combines
easily with the gastric juices of the
stomach and supplies the deficient sul
phates that nature uses to digest food
and to prevent uric acid deposits.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is a natural
and quick remedy for constipation, bil
iousness. indigestion, sour stomach,
rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and all
other ailments. It is effer
vescent and agreeable, quick to act,
very mild and sure. No other liver
medicine has the same natural, stim
ulant effect. Don’t take a substitute.
