DANGEROUSLY STABBED.
Stella Martin, a Notorious
Character Of the City Bad
" Wounded.

Bert Stanley, rather wild young
man of this town, was arrested
Monday night charged with having
stabbed Stella Martin, notorious
bad woman. The Martin woman
lives IN the east part of town and it
is said the cutting took place at her
home about 2 o'clock at night.
We are informed that Stella makes
the statement that she returned
home at the aboye hour and
finding Stanley in her bed a
fight took place aud in the melee she
received very dangerous stab just
under the left shoulder blade. The
doctor probed the wound to depth
of q inches and is of the opinion
the blade of the knife penetrated
the lung.
Stanley was arrested and gave
bond in the sum of $500. Wednes'
day morning he was rearrested and
placed in Jail to await the eesult OF
the woman's wounds.
Previous TO the above difficulty
Stanley was arrested and fined fol
breaking . window in the front Of
the Senate saloon.
| The Martin woman is one OF the
worst and vilest that has ever dis
graced this town and there is little
sympathy for her in her present
predicament. The assault on hel
life, however, is objectionable ane

C.oycrs and Shamrock,

English Clovers are Irish shamrock.
Perhaps no greater myth exists than that
relating to the shamrock. st. Patrick
would find clover in almost all parts of
Ireland, as he would in England, and
1t vas fitting emblem Of the Trinity.
Consequently there is little doubt that
he used it as an illustration. How the
little fiction that it is distinct plant
and Will grow only in Ireland has been
maintained so long seems incompre-
hensible unless it is due to the pecul-
iarity of Englishmen when regarding
most things Irish. 1t is almost as alb
surd as regarding Levers characters as
typical Of the Irishman of today, prob
ably of any day, as he appears to have
had as great n genius in inventing char
acters rs in inventing stories. Ireland
largely owes its clovers and shamrocks
to its limestone. Around Dublin, where
limestone is not very prevalent, the in
ferior type Of clover, the yellow trefoil.
is commonly employed as badge, its
convenient shape, owing to its top root,
rendering it convenient as buttonhole
flower.
In limestone districts the white clo-
yer is more commonly used, though
there is no definite rule, as is shown by
the specimens collected by natives in
all parts of Ireland now to be seen in the
Dublin museum. These specimens were
allowed to go to flower, and four dis
tinct varieties Of clover are represented,
each frequently. Even the large red
clover is included. There is no other
plant shown, because there is no other
shamrock. The myth is destroyed, but
the clovers remain, and it is due to
their presence that the Irish pastures are
so rich and so valuable for grazing.
They have accumulated fertility, and
they have done so in England. There
fore their presence in lawns must not
be regarded as prejudicial London
Standard.

THEY RIDICULE IT,
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridiculs. However, is Net Areum snt,
and Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common
and in many cases so obstinate to
cure that peop,e are apt to look with
suspicion on any remedy claiming to
be radical. permanent cure for
dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acute
ness in never being humbugged,
especially on medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged may
be carried too far; so far in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk hit
tie time and money in faithfully test
ing the claims of preparation so re-
liaDly and universally used as
Stuar,'s Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now SLuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are vastly different in one respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines
for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine. no secret is
made of their ingredients, but analy-
sis shows them to contain the ] q
tural digestive ferments. pure as
ceptic pepsin. the digestive acids
Golden Seal, bismuth, dydrastis and
nux. They are not cathartic, Meth
er do they act powerfully on any
organ. but they cure indigestion on
the common sense plan of digesting
the food eaten thoroughly before i,
has time to ferment, sour and cause
the mischief. This is the only Sc.
cret Of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and
never can cure indigestion and stom-
ach troubles. because they act en-
tirely upon the bowels, whereas the
whole trouble is really in the stom-
ach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken
after meals, digest the food. That
is all there is to it. Food not di.
gested or half digested is poison as
it creates gas. acidity, headaches,

A Man Is No Hero to His Typewriter


The mystery of mems lives in the
world, out of which illusions are spun,
has always had greater influence in
determining the fate of women than is
readily admitted. To feel transmitted
through the ring finger the electric
thrill of business, Of politics, of clubs,
OF the stirring movements in the life Of
men, gives any woman vantage ground
over others Of her sex. But in the actual
commerce of business, the community
of affairs, the wear and tear of daily
life in Offices and elevators, this mystery
vanishes. A couple of typewriters at
luncheon will illustrate badly a situa-
ton yet too new to be fairly reckoned
up. Over knife and fork they will match
employers as small boys do pennies.

of whose necktie they may disapprove,
or of the way he wears his hair or per-
