A PECULIAR REMEDY,
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

for Cnring Dyspepsia.
The Rev. f. 1. Bell, highly esteemed
minister residing In Weedsport, Cayuga
Co., N. Y, in recent letter writes as
follows: There has never been any
thing that have taken that has relieved
the Dyspepsia from which have suffered
for ten years except the new remedy
called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since
taking them have had no distress at all
after eating and again after long years
can sleep we'll. Rev. +. 1. Bell, Weeds
port, N. Y, formerly Idalia, Colo.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is a remark
able remedy, not only because it is GER
tain cure for all forms of indigestion,
but because 1t seems to act as Thoroughly
In old chronic cases Of Dyspepsia as well
as In mild attacks Of indigestion or bill
liousness. A person has dyspepsia simply
because the stomach Is overworked; all It
wants Is harmless, vegetable remedy to
digest the food and thus give it the much
needed rest.
This Is the secret Of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion
may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. New life and energy is
given not only to the stomach, but to
every organ and nerve In the body. A
trial of this splendid medicine will con-
vince the most skeptloal that Dyspepsia
and all stomach troubles can be cured.
The tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co., of Marshall, Mich, but so
popular has the remedy become that
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can now be
obtained at any drug store at 80 cents per
package. Send for book on stomach
diseases free. Q2-14-16d wky)

DETERMINED TO DIE.
FORMER EMPLOYE OF THE
STREET CAR COMPANY
Takes Laudanum and Coolly Tells the
Doctor That 1t of no Avail to Pump
Him ont as He is Determined to
End His Life.

George Miller, of No. 90 Center street,
took two ounces of laudanum this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock, with suicidal intent.
Miller has been employed for eight years
as inspector of cars for the Canton Street
Railway. About three years ago, his wife
became insane and was committed to an
asylum Ever since that time he has
periodically drank to excess. A few
days ago be was discharged by the COM
pany and since that occurrence he has
been respondent and several times threat
ened to take his life. This morning he
arose at O'Clock and did not return
home until 10 o'clock. He at once entered
the front room of his little home and
raised the two-ounce vial to his lips. His
housekeeper, Mrs. Dine, suspected somee
thing to be wrong and entered the room
as he was draining the bottle. She ct
it was too late. She ran to a telephone
and summoned DR.. A. V. Smith, who
WIS soon at the residence. Miller was
still able 20 talk, and he said to the
physician that it was no use to try to save
him, as he was tired of life and wanted
to die. Powerful stimulants were in
jected hypodermically and late this after
noon he was still alive, although in a
dangerous condition Miller is 3s years of
age, and is the father of five children.
He was known as kind husband and
father, and was respected by all his fell
low employees. 1t is thought that worry
ing over his wifes condition and his
recent discharge from his old employ
ment caused him to attempt to end his
earthly existence.
George Miller, who, yesterday, took
two ounces of laudanum with suicidal
Intent, died at 6:35 O'Clock last evening.
The quantity had been too large to sue
oessfully combat, and his desire to leave
this world was gratiAed. Funeral ar
rargements have not been definitely
made.

up by the Democratic this year and get
back on the ticket next year by means
Of a petition, as any new party is required
by law to do.
After consultation, however, means
was discovered of getting around this
predicanent. Secretary Of State Taylor
stated that 1t was not Necessary, by the
construction Of the law, that all the
places on the Populist ticket be filled.
One man could fulfil all the requirements
of the law and it was not needful for
him to get more than one vote. AS long
as the party was represented and votes
cast for the nominee the ticket would
stay on the ballot in future years. There
fore, Mr.. Barr was decided on as the man
to stay on the ticket. Six men In this
city will be asked to vote for him and
thus keep the ticket on earth. 1t is not
desired that any others vote for him, but
that the rest of the party devote their
efforts to the election of the representa-
tiyes of the silver men by whatever name
they may be called.

CONCUSSION
From Which an Alliance Youth Could
Not Recover Causes a Sad
Death.

Roy Hartzell, aged sixteen, youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Hartzell, of
South Linden avenue, Alliance, met a
most heart-rending death, Thursday
evening, while passing the time with
several school-mates at the postofflce
building in that city.
Young Hartzell, together with his
companions, was using the iron bar that
extends across the cellar way leading to
the postoffioe basement, for horizontal
bar, and as Roy made an attempt to catch
the bar, In some manner he misjudged
TIE distance, and fell to the bottom Of
the stairway striking the back of his
head on the stone steps bslow, and In SO
doing received severe fracture of the
skull.
Being unable to rise, his friends i'm
mediately rushed TO his assistance. The
unfortunate lad was gently carried to the
street, where he was placed in the South
worth carriage and taken to his home.
During the ride home he revived, and
after being lifted from the carriage man
aged to walk from the street to the house,
where he was assisted by kindly hands to
his bed, from which he was destined
never to rise Medical aid was called
and evsry effort made to oounteract con-
cusison OF the brain, but 1t was OF no
avail and the injured boy fingered until
2 O'Clock this morning, when life became
extinct. Roy was member of the
second high school and being of iovable
and quiet disposition, was general
favorite with all his companions, who
are now in deep sorrow over his untimely
death. The members Of the dead boy q
family are almost heart-broken and have
the sympathy of their many friends.
The funeral will take place Sunday.

End of an Old Case.

After the failure of the Alliance Roll
ing Mill Company in 1879, suit was COM
menced against the company to compel
the duplication of all its stock. J d.
Lewis was nominal plaintiff In the
original case and David Morgan, the
principal stockholder'in the company, the
defendant. After a litigation extending
over period of twenty-four years de-
c!sion has just been reached in the
supreme court of Ohio in favor of the de-
fendant. The case is now known as the
Farmers Deposit National Bank of Pitts
burg VS.. william d. Reese ct al, execu-
tors of the Morgan estate. There were
peculiar circumstances in connection
with this case ana the inference should
not be drawn from the decision reached
by the supreme court in this case that
an owner Of stock in a corporation cannot
be held for duplication of his holding.

AT PARIS.
A Splendid Meeting Held IN the Inter
est Of the Peoples
Nataa

Cause.
Attorneys John O. Given and A. s..
Van Buskirk spoke to large and enthus
iastic meeting at Paris Saturday even
Ing. The meeting was grand success
from beginning TO finish. That there Is
an enthusiastic support of the Bryan tree
silver wave in Paris township is entirely
beyond doubt or dispute The large
crowd, the close attention, the unanimous
approval and the loud and prolonged
bursts of enthusiasm, showed that Paris
township is wide awake and at work In
the cause Of the people against the plot
of soheming plutoorats.
The first adddres was made by At
torney John q. Given. He took upl the
historic, legal and constitutional phrases
Of the question, ana It was powerful
and patriotic exposition of the Issues. It
was scholarly, earnest and exact. It was
highly appreciated and commanded pro-
found respect. He proved from history
and precedent that the position Of the
allied silver forces was exactly In the line
Of the old constitutional and patriotic
position, of the great leaders of the repub-
lie in the past.
Mr.. Given was followed by A. s. Van
Buskirk, who showed by the utteranoes of
Mckinley, Thurston, Ingersoll, Blaine
and others that man who voted for
Bryan this fall was in perfect harmony,
not only with the past utterances of these
Republicans, but with the Republican
platforms Of 1883 and 1899. He asked IL
there were any Mckinley m msn In the audi
enoe. A few held up their hands and
then the speaker asked which Mckinley
they favored, the Mckinley of 1878, 1890
and 1891, or the Mckinley of 1895, quot
Ing from Mckinley at these different
periods. Fl pressed the question, but
they were unable to answer.
The speakers twice suggested closing
the meeting, but tho crowd demanded
them to continue. Gold bug speakers
may visit Paris every night from now
until election, but the silver men will
roll up big vote for Bryan and BIZ
metallism. They are doing grand work
there, and this can't be turned. The
music by the excellent band In attendance
was much appreciated and added much
to the life Of the meeting.
