Small BOY.

Few Felincs Captured by the Omnbn
Small hoy.
Cats are either scarce in this city or the
average Omaha small boy is not much of a
hustler 7. p. Cartwright is of this opinion.
Friday night and yesterday morning he
advertised in the daily papers for fifty
ablc-bodied well-deyeloped cats of any
breed description, color or dispo-
sition, Offering 10 cents a piece for them
Up to noon yesterday, but six cats had
been offered and these were accepted with
out question. The feines are now occupying
one of the front windows of the store at
Fifteenth and Douglas streets. There is no
scrappor in the number and consequently
they are quietly enjoying their new quarters.
1t Is the intention of Mr.. Cartwright to cage
the cats and exhibit them among the other
wild animals that will be seen in the society
circls parade and show.
The advertisement in the papers was
the cause of an amusing Incl
hearted woman noticed the ads and
at once jumped to the conclusion that
the shoe dealer intended to skin the animals
to obtain new kind of shoe leather or that
he possibly proposed to run an experimental
station in connection with the store. She
consequently notified the Nebraska Humane
society. Mr.. Cartwright was visited by one
OF the officers of the association. All fore
bodings were allayed, however, and the
felines were allowed to remain.
Rev. John Williams telephOned the police
last night that the gamins in his neigh
borhood were stealing all the domestic cats
in sight for the purpose Of disposing of them
to I. =. Cartwright the shoe dealer Rev Mr..
Williams stated that neighbors wife had
just defended her own particular pet at great
cost to her nerves and temper and that he
thought the thing ought to be stopped. He
was told by a young urchin in search of
felines that the shoe man skinned the fire
side favorites and making a new kind
OF shoe with the pets. Mr.. Williams asked
for light on the matter and was of the opn-
ion if the report was true that the Humane
society should interfere Chief Sigwart in
formed him that the cats were for exhibition
purposes and that the theft of the pets
would be stopped by the officers.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia ana Indigcs-
ton by Dieting ~ Barbarous and
Useless One.

Useless One.
We say the old way. but really It Is q
very common one at the present time, and
many dyspeptcs and physicians as well con-
slider the first step to take In attempting to
cure indigestion is to diet either by select
ing certain foods and rejecting others, or
10 greatly diminish the quantity usually
taken; In other words the starvation plan
Is by many supposed to be the first essen
tial
The almost certain failure nf the starva-
ton cure for dyspepsia has been proven time
and again, but still the moment Dyspepsia
makes It's appearance course of dieting Is
nt once advised
All this Is radically wrong. II Is foolish
and unscientidc to recommend dieting or
starvation to a man suffering from Dyspcp-
sia, because the indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and every
Abro in tho body
What tho Dyspoptc wants Is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty OF good
wholesome, Nell-cooked food and something
10 assist the weak stomach to digest IT.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted ana
this is the method by which they cure the
worst cases OF Dyspepsia; in other words,
the patient eats plenty OF wholesome food
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest IT
for him. In this was 'e system is nour-
Ished and the oyerwn.i; stomach rested

remedy sold for stomach troubles, and

The letter carriers have not ceased their
work in the effort to secure the session of

who pass through here next year on their
way to the meeting in San Francisco at
least as many Of them as can be induced
to stop over. The largest delegation will
be from New York and accompanying them
will be the letter carriers band of that
