The latest development iu the city election malt-r has been the serving of u nolice on the election hoard, which consists of the mayor and police judge, against the Issuance of election certificates to the successful candi dal es. The jsiint made is that the election is illegal because of the swearing iu of voters w hen the char ter makes uo pio isiou for this but insists that voters shall be registered. On the other ham! it is claiined that this rcquiri incut of the charter Is un constitutional. The hoard will Issue tho ceVtilleates. Tho instrument in question is merely a notice and carries none of the weight or authority of an injunction. Tho Weather.

People that hnvo dyspepsia havo weak stomachs, weak hearts, weak eves unit are usually wpiik Kiiecn. They feel bilious and tho world in general has a bilious look to them; they Imvo so many symptoms that it is dilllcult to localo tho place whero they feel tho worst. Tho fact is the sourco from whero they get their strength has been cut otf and they aro sick all over. Tho food taken into tho stomach remains undigested, causing belching, and bilious attacks, followed by sick-heailucho, and" gen era I weakness. Tho medicine that puts tho stomach in condition so that tho food can lm readily digested, will euro dyspepsia and muko strength whero there was weukness. Wo havo cured thousands of persons during tho past 20 years, of dysS'psin, with Dr. Guiin's Improved Liver Pills. A Sac box of these pills aro worth moro to ls'opln with poor digestion than six months of dieting or a gallon of pepsin. It only takes one for a doso.
