Get Strength, vig0r, Clear Complex
ION and Good DigestiOn, Not by
Patent Medicine, but In Natures
Own Way.
Any honest physician Will tell you that
there is but one way 10 get increased flesh;
all the patent medicines and cod liver Oils
to the contrary, notwitbst anding.
Nature has but one way 10 increase flesh,
strength and vigor, mind and body, and that
is through the stomach by wholesome food,
we'll digested. There is no reason, or COM
mon sense In any other method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stOmacbs are weak. -.
They may not think they have dyspepsia.
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food, or what they eat js not quickly
and nroperly digcsted, as it should be.
DR.. HarIandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptOnes, and deficient secretion
OF gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to sup
ply what the weak stomach, lacks. There
are several good prepare tons which will do
this but none so readily as .Stuarts Dys
pepsia Tablets which are designed especial
ly for all stomach trOubles. and which cure
all digestive weakness on the common sense
plan OF furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect is to increase the
appetite and increased vigor, added flesh,
pure blood. and strength off nerve and
muscle is the perfectly natural result.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets H. the safest
tonic known and will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer or the stonr
ach. May he found at druggists at go cents

Cruelty of Tweive-Y ear-Old Charles
Hill to Animals.

Cruelty of TweIve-Y ear-Old Charles
Hill to Animals.
somerviIle, N j., Jan. 2O.-A startling
instance of hereditary crime has just been
brought to light in the Somerset court.
Charles Hill, slight. pale-faced boy Of
twelve years, was brought before Justice
Bartine, charged with the atrocious crime
OF tortuIing and killing one cow and four
calves, burning haystacks and doing other
malicious mischief on the farm Of John W.
Kuhel near Centerville. Farmer kuhel
was the boys benefactor. Out OF cum
passion for him as motherless babe he
took him from a drunken father and
reared him a S his own child. As the child
grew to boyhoud he developed an abnormal
cruelty toward the animals on the farm
During the past year a number of kuhers
haystacks have been fired and other mali
cious mischief has been committed about
the place Kuhel did not suspect his ward
of thes.. crimes until recently.
Two weeks ago one OF his blooded cows
appeared to be in great agony. He killed
her TO end her sufferings- Investigation
sho wed that her skull had been crushed in
a mysterious manner. The boy was ques-
the cow in the head with an AK. He also
confessed to having killed four calves and
set fire to haystacks.
Kuhel was dumfounded at the confession
and reluctantly brought the youthful crimi-
nal to Justice. He requested Justice SUIT
phen not to be- hard on the bny, as he be-
lieved he was not wholly responsible for
his crimes Lawyer Frech Informed the
court that Peter Hill, the boys father, had
once been sent to prison for smashing up
a costly carriage belonging to his neigh
Dor with an Ak
Little Charlie. who did not seem 10 real
ize he had done anything wrong, told Jus
tice Bartine that he did not know why he
had killed the calves. but that he had at
tempted TO kill the COW because she was
hard mixer. The court sentenced him TO
the State Reform School.

CH0YNSKI THE FAY0RITE
In the Twenty-Round Contest To-
night With Jim Hail.
The Men Are Evenly Matched ana a
Great Struggle Is Expected-The
Californian Should Win.
Especial to The Times.l

New York, Jan. 2O.-The HaII-Choynski
battle before the Empire Athletic Club to-
night Is the sole subjct of conversation
among the sporting fraternity. Indeed,
this tight is being more talked of than any
ring encounter that has been before the
public for many months.
Both ChOynsk and Ii all havegood records,
and a meeting between them has long been
looked for. They have both met Bob Fitz-
simmons, but with different results. Choyn-
ski fought him 10 a draw in five rounds,
while Fitz disposed OF Han In four.
A comparison Of the records OF the two
men shows Choynski to be the better man
of the lwo-that 10. on paper. What he
will do tonight with Peter Naher's spar
ring partner remains to be seen. Hall has
not been in as good form during the past
year as he was previously, but he now
claims to have rounded to.
Hall has been getting into shape at
Pittsburg. and he went from shat city to
New York yesterday afternoon. large
delegation OF sports from the smoky City
accompanied him, and they claim that
they will bet the Choynski people to Il
standstill.
Hall has a great advantage in reach and
height, and is said to be much cleverer than
the Californian. This cleverness is offset,
however, by the latter's hitting powers,
which are OF the first water. Choynski
can hit blow like the kick of a mule, and
IL is claiWed for him that he has improved
wonderfully in cleverness and ring general
ship.
The question OF which man viii win is,
OF course, the one which is bothering the
sporting public. As stated before, they
areso evenly matched that it is hard mat
ter to pick the winner. After a careful
comparison OF the abilities and disa utilities
OF the two men, however, it looks as il
Choynski should about do the trick, and
the man who gets a bet down on him will
come very near to cashing.

mounting the bridge at height OF lo6

side, he had to traverse a narrow plank.
As he stepped on one end Of it the board
tilted up, causing him TO lose his balance and
fall. As he fell he tried to catch hold
OF the support on which the board had
rested in an endeavor to save himself, at
the same time giving cry of despair
This was the last sound he ever gave
utterance to as he fell into a car on the
track, over a hundred feet below, where
he was crushed out Of all semblance to

aid he found but mangled mass OF

car. which was loaded with dirt used TO

been there Hansen would probably have
fallen into the river.

I elbow Fever an Annual Plague and
the Mercury Away Up
St. Louis Globe-DemOcrat

81. LOUIS
The climate or Guiana is not by any
means. q greeable. Georgetown is within
six degrees OF the equator, and the mercury
generally fingers a round 80 and 90 degrees.
The land is alro low and marshy in places,
so that fevers are prevalent at all seasons
OF the year, and a white man cannot live
there unless he takes extreme precaution
to observe certain essential rules.
Negroes, on the contrary, can live any
where, and break the health rules laid
down for the white settlers. Yellow fever
Is an annual plague in Georgetown, but
the negro population gives little thought
to it, and it is uncommon to hear one of
their number taking it. The coolies, who
compose about one-third OF the populat ton,
are more susceptible to the poor climate
than the negroes, but are much harder thai
the whites. The coolies are a lighter and
more slender race than the negroes, but
they are industrious and moderately faith
full workers, while the negroes are lazy
and indolent-
The real hard and difficult work in the
fields that requires muscle is performed
by the negroes, but the steady continuous,
light work is allotted to the coolies.
The two races are naturally hostile, more
SO than that existing between the Euro
pcans and the natives.

IOwA'S FARMER BOY SINGER.
Clarence whitehin Going to Europe
for Il Musical Education.


for Musical Education.
nClarence Whit chill a fine-looking young
man of twenty-five years, are conferred the
hopes Of a large number of people in this
section OF Iowa, says Williamsburg special
to the Chicago Chronicle, who believe that
he is destined to fill the place SO long and
meritoriously held by MyrOn W. Whitney as
Americas greatest bass singer. Recently
Mr.. Whitehill has been singing occasionally
in Chicago churches, notably Emmanuel Bap-
list Church. and his successes there are but
the climax of a long series Of praisewOrthy
performances throughout Iowa.
Some time during the present month he
will sail for Europe, there TO perfect his
musical education, In accord with the ad-
vice given him by Nine. Melba, who said she
had seen pleased with his remarkable voice
more than by that of any other American
singer. His studies will be prosecuted under
her direction, and If 10 his superb voice
he is able to add a thoroughly good musical
education and an admra Bile method, Nine.
Aelba promises him his first operate en-
gagement.
Clarence was born five miles southwest of
Williamsburg and is the seventh son in a
family OF eleven children. His father died
when he was six years old, leaving his large
family in very poor circumstances. Eard
work on the part of an older brother kept
them all in comfort until the mother came
into an inheritance, with which she bought
a farm eight miles northwest OF Williams
burg and near Marengo. Clarence a attended
the public schools there and graduated from
the Marengo high school in 1890.
Two years later he went to Chicago, and,
In order to procure his much loved music
lessons. courageously took. to driving an
express wagon for lack OF something better
togive him his expenses and his subsistence.
His last visit home was during the holiday
season. when he gave a farewell concert
at the request OF his many friends and
former associates. He was always fond
of music. and both as boy and man was
in great demand for his songs, but neither
himself nor his friends for long time ever
supposed that he was the possessor OF more
than an ordinarily coed bass voice.
