Is 1T A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID
DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Serious
Disease.


Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, Is a form of indi.
gestiou resnlting from fermentation OF
the food. The stomach being too weak
to promptly digest 1t, the food remains
until fermentation begins, tilling the
ST ma,h with gas, and a bitter, sour,
burning taste in the mouth 10 often
present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occur
renoe Is given but little attention. Be-
cause dyspepsia is not Immediately fatal,
many people do nothing for the trouble.
Within recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles 1t is
known as Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets
and 1t Is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at 80 cents per
package. 1t is prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co., Marshall, Mich, and
while 1t promptly aud effectually restores
a vigorous digestion, at the same time is
perfectly harmless and will not injure the
most delicate stomach, but on the con-
trary by giving perfect digestion,
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.

KAISER COMMITTED TO JAIL.
A Belief That He Killed His wife For
Insurance.


NoRRIsTowN, Oct 31.-Charles o.
Kaiser, Jr., has been committed to Jail
without bail. The detectives have q
signed statement from him, but refuse
to divulge the contents.
The developments strengthen the be.
lief of the authorities that an insurance
swindle, with Mrs. Kaiser's life as the
forfeit, had been contemplated and that
strange man and woman were con-
spirators with Kaiser. 1t has been
learned that five policies had been is.
sued to Kaiser and his wife. Eighty
four dollars is the aggregate amount Of
premiums thus far paid out. On two Of
them $54 would have become due next
month.
Another strange fact has come to
light. Two months ago the couple
made a joint will, under an arrange
ment similar to that in the policies, but
there was a clause inserted at Kaiser's
suggestion, it is said, to the effect that
their bodies should be cremated. The
police intimate that Kaiser had in.
tended to profit by this arrangement by
the use of poison, but that his pecu-
mary embarrassment coming upon him,
he used the medium of lead and con-
cocted the highwaymen story.

A Skirmish Between Democrats and

A Skirmish Between Democrats and
Republic ms at GAINESVILLE. wis.
JANEsvILLE, Wis, Oct. 81 Almost
a riot marked W. j. Bryan's trip in
Wisconsin.
The day was without special incident
until GAINESVILLE was reached, when
there was a disturbance, which at one
time looked as if it might become seri-
Gus. This point was reached about
dusk and there had congfegated about
the station large assembly of people.
There was an almost complete absence
of the gold badges. He had scarcely
begun speaking, however, when a pro.
cession crossed the railroad tracks in
the rear of the audience. It soon de-
veloped that the procession was COM
posed of n uniformed Mckinley club.
carrying banners, notices and pictures
of the Republican candidates and q
large American flag.
Immediately after crossing the rail-
road the procession turned abruptly in
to the crowd as if intending to come di.
rectly to the platform. There was a
disturbance of two or three minutes
duration, which caused such confusion
as to put a stop to the speech The
notices and banners were made the OBJ
jects of contention, and scuffie ensued
over their possession. These gradually
went down, with the exception of the
portrait of Mckinley and the American
flag, which there was apparently no ef-
fort to displace. IL was asserted that in
the general scuffle there was some re-
sort to physical violence, but it was inn
possible, from the train, to observe all
the details of the encounter. The Nc
Kinley procession gradually withdrew
and order was very soon restored.
