KING TO GUARD AGAINST H0ODO0S George V. Recalls. Untoward Omens That Have Fallen on V Coronation Days. i London, , Oct $1. King- George Is par- tlcularly anxious that his cbronatlon cer kemonles next June should be free from fcany untoward incident which might be i construed as ominous. This Is not alone ? because he himself, like all members of :" his home, Is Imbued with a certain amount of superstition, but it is Kke ; wise because he is thoroughly aware i that popular confidence In himself and v his reign will be shaken in the 'event of any occurrence at the coronation Which could be construed as portending evlL ..... The coronation of Queen Victoria and King Edward were remarkably free from anything that could be looked upon by the. people as a bad omen, though the v fact that the coronation of King Edward f had tobe postponed on account of the illness witlvwhichthe monarch "was sud- denly stricken led many persons to pre i ,dlct that his reign would be short .v, Blundering Nobleman Let Crown rail.

It is also well to remember, in read ing of these gloomy prophecies of : doom, that- such incidents are seldom thought of until an untoward incident has occurred.

' , -, r . ,-.., -. , Friends of the Clark county bill claim Jto: have less local opposition than is the case with most new county propo sitions. -Masr of the citizens of Grant county have signed the petition for the .new, cqimty, w. that Graflt vis out -of debt , There Is some oposition within the territory of the ' new, county, but its. friends claim it has as nearly unani mous support within its borders as it Is possible for such a measure to have The new county, if created will in elude 1428 ; square miles of land cut from the northern part of Grant This will leave 8324 square miles in Grant as snown, by the map, the extreme northeastern part of Grant is not taken into the new county. This is because the topography of tha country puts the peopie in tnat section closer to Canyon City, the present county seat of Grant, than to Long Creek; the proposed county seat of Clark. People living there would have to go into Baker county and then to : Austin to reach Long Creek, and they would, then be 10 ; miles nearer Canyon City than Long Creek;- ' Mountain Bangs Divides. The dividing lihe for tho new county le along a mountain range between the main John Day river and the middle fork of that stream, the watershed of the middle fork and its tributaries being In the new county. Those living in the nortnwestern part or the county who now have to spend three or four days in a trip over ?0 miles of rough roads to reach the county seat would have to go only 35 miles If the new county is created, and would not have to cross the' mountain, divide. ? .v,!'- -'. - '.f . The proposed new county is estimated to contain a population of 2600, leaving the old county with a population of about 4800. The- country is sparsely settled, being a sheep and cattle country, but with fertile land of limited area along the streams. :f . The assessed valuation of property in the new county In 1909 was 81,964,-000.- This will leave Grant county an assessed valuation of $2,766,000. The tax levy- last year- was 16 mills, and this would . raise over $31,000 in taxes within the new county. It is -stated the expense of running Grant county's government in 1909 was approximately $24,000, from-which It Is argued the new county, ; although small in population and valuation, will be able to take care of Itself. About two-thirds of the land is in forest reserves or is non-tillable The Clark county committee, of which C W. Conger is president and Charles A. Coe is secretary, claims that 80 per cent of the people residing in the pro posed new county have signed the petition for ; it They say -the people of Canyon City, Prairie City, John, Day and other centers of Grant county are willing the new county shall be formed provided the people of the new county wantitii Opposition within- the - new county, they say, is confined to some of tne large sheep ranchers in the western portion, who as a rule are opposed to thicker settlement of the land because mis wouia encroach upon their ranges. nay People would Save. ' "The committee urges that boundary lines have been drawn to follow natural divides as far as practicable, that the people would save by having the seat of government nearer home and that better roads and? development of the country would be promoted. The bill to be voted on locates the county seat temporarily at Long Creek, the people of the new county to vote on a permanent location at the next regular - election.

Objections to the formation of Clark county are for the most part such as apply to county division in a general way. Manyv oppose division, by the peo ple of the, state at large, because, they argue, the people cannot be sufficiently Informed asto- ehanffes prepoeed-In some remote part of the state. General objection is made to higher taxation for maintaining separate government and to the creation of counties with small populations. , It is asserted a largs majority of property owners outside of Long Creek are against the new county. .. - ,. -,'- ,-- Clark county a dvoostes urge that fhey have resorted to the only method pro vided for county division, and that the general acquiescence of the people of the mother county shows the' merit of tne change, which would bo in itself sufficient guide for people elsewhere. The great inconvenience and- expense of travel under present conditions is held to outweigh all the other objections. Under tho bill to be voted the .-salary of the sheriff of the new county is placed at $1600, county clerk $1200, Judge and assessor each $600, treasurer and School superintendent each $400, commissioners $8 per diem. THEY ACTUALLY -- DO THE WORK rood Eaten Is 'Worthless tmiess SI. gested Borne Stomachs Must , Bavs Kelp.' ; v..', Food .'taken Into - the Stomach which, f rom-the nature ofthe foodvor the con dition of the stomach is not digested, is worse than no food at all. This is a true statement as far as it goes and I a great many dyspeptics-go only this i far with their reasoning. They argue with themselves that, because their stomachs do not do the work given them, the must be given less work; In other words, they must be starved. It would be Just as sensible for a business man who is "unable to do all his own work to cut down his business to his own capacity as It is for a man to starve himself to relieve his stomach. The sensible business man employs help and goes forward with his business. Likewise the sensible dypeptlc will em ploy help for his stomach and give his body proper nourishment Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stom achs of ' a. great portion of . digestive action. Tbelr component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions of the etomach and they simply take up the grind and 'carry on the work Just the same as n. guuu, buvus, ucuimy Biomacn woiuq do it - Onthla , account Stuart's- dyspepsia Tablets are perfectly natural in, their action and effects. They do not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance In the stomach or bowels. They them selves digest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment con tained in .what is eaten and carry out nature's plans lor the sustenance and maintenance of the body. v, How much more sensible is this method than that employed by many suirercrs from weak stomachs. Bv this means the body and brain get all the gooa, nutritious food they need and the man is properly nourished and equipped to carry on his work "and perform his duties. He could not pos sibly be In proper working condition by starving himself or employing some new fangled, insufficient food that does not contain enough nutriment for a year-old .baby. A strong man doing strong worK must be properly fed and this applies to the brain as. well as the body. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by relJev Ing the 'stomach of its ywork, enable it to recuperaie ana regain its normal health and strength. Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues Just as she heals and knits the bone of a - broken limb, which, is of course .not used dur ing the prooess of repair. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 60 cents a box and they are the one article that the druggist does not try to sell something in the place of that's "Just as good." Their unqualified merit and . success and the universal demand for th"em has placed them within the reach of .every one. ', v.,' n..,.:,. .'': , ",.
