There were twice as many out as I expected, and they were all . enthusiastic over ; the prospects of the party. , We will certainly elect some of bur officers at the next election, and it would not surprise me If we made a clean sweep of the ticket Our men will - be good, square fellows, and we will get a number of the Republican votes, too," , , Mr, Eby is , beginning to- hear ,f rom : the petitions that were circulated, not long ago throughout the county for membership to the Thomas Jefferson Democratic club. He is in receipt of a petition from Eagle creek that con tains 70 names, and also one from Gar Held that has 10 names. These are the first two petitions for membership to be received in answer to the circulars and will swell the list of members to about SOO. ;Mr. Eby thinks the total member ship of the club will be over 600 when reports come in from the other pre clncts.

V' The strike that started some weeks ago in the Courier office Is now taking a definite form and the trades . unions of the city are lending aid to the strik ers in the form of a substantial support. A committee : of the carpenters and painters' union- met: night before last and decided to help the typographical union by withdrawing their patronage from the paper and from- the merchants who advertise with the Courier . unless the advertisements are taken out J. H. Westover, of the Courier, is inclined to think that the action is a bluff on the part of the union people, but the unions of the city say the mean business. . 'It is reported that all the merchants have signified their intention of taking out their advertisements. . It is defi nitely understood the Huntley brothers and Frank Bush will,' as they said as much ' yesterday morning' when asked. There is little excitement over- the sit uation, which may yet be settled to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. Danoe Well Attended. .'

The prices of horses are higher this year by 10 per cent than last year, and while It would be possible to secure a large number of 1,000 to 1,100 pound horses, without any restriction on color, the regulation cavalry horse, as pur chased by the United States govern ment, Is scarce.

TOOK A STRAW VOT& Interesting experiment la a Beataarant An advertising agent, representing a prominent New York -magazine, while on a recent western trip, waa dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant While waiting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad vertisement of a well-known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets; as he himself was a regular user of the tablets, he began speculating as to how many of tha other traveling men in the dining-room were also friends of the popular remedy for indigestion. - He says: I counted twenty-three men at the tables and In the hotel office 1 took the trouble, to Interview them and was surprised to learn that nine oft the twenty-three made a practice of taking one or two of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tab lets after each meal. One of them told me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but' since using Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets had been entirely free from indigestion, but he continued their use, especially while traveling, on account of irregularity' in meals and because, like all traveling men, he was often obliged to eat what he could get and not always what he wanted. Another, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward, be cause he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased without fear of a sleep less night rfr any other trouble. Still another "used them because he waa subject to gas on the stomach, causing pressure on heart and lung, shortness of breath and ' distress hi chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets rearularly. Another claimed that Stuart S Dys pepsia Tablets waa the only safe remedy he had aver found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used common soda' to relieve the trouble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use. - After smoking, drinking or other ex cesses which weaken the dlarestive or gans, nothing reatores the atomach to a healthy, wholesome condition so enec tuaHy as Stuart's Tableta , Stuar.t's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase, which every weak stomach lacks, as well as nun. hydrastln and yellow pa rtlla, and can be safely relied -on as t radical cure for everv, form of poor di gestion.
