ed up stone and threw it into the
crowd. His aim was good, but unfor-
tunately an innocent one got hit. Gard
ner's nose was deeply gashed. After

regrets had been given the prosecutor
agreed to settle the case, the defend
ant paying the costs.

TRAVELLING IN STATE.
Peter the Great and His Own Ideas
Upon This Subject.

When kings and other mighty high
nesses pay stately visits, they general
ly travel in grand style. Thus it came
to pass, that when Peter the Great WIS.,
tied France, Louis XIV, then a mere
lad, sent a gorgeous coach-and-six to
meet the Russian czar at Calais. For
some reason or another, Peter got tired
of this method of travelling.
At the first inn at which he stopped
and Peter was just the man to stop
at the first inn he came to-he spied
the body Of an old carriage lying, like
so much lumber, in the courtyard. He
there and then ordered this to be slung
from pole, each end of which was
carried by a servant on horseback; and
in this palanquin he was conveyed
throughout the rest of his Journey
much to his own qualification and the
amusement of the spectators who
crowded at various points to see this
remarkable man.

HOT WEATHER DYSPEPSIA.
Thousands Suffer from II at This
Season of the Year.

Hot weather dyspepsia may be rec
ognized by the following symptoms:
Depression of spirits. heaviness and
pain In the stomach after meals, loss of
flesh and appetite. no desire for food,
bad taste in the mouth, especially in
the morning, wind in stomach and
bowels, irritable disposition, nervous
weakness, weariness costiveness, head
ache, palpitation, heartburn. 1t Is a
mistake to treat such troubles with
"tonics," blood purifiers" "cathar-
tics" pills" because the whole trouble
is in the stomach. 1t Is Indigestion or
dyspepsia and nothing else.
All these symptoms rapidly disap-
pear when the stomach is relieved,
strengthened and cleansed by Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets. They should be
taken after meals and few carried in
the pocket to be used whenever any
pain or distress is felt in the stomach
They are prepared only for stomach
troubles
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are en-
doised by such physicians as DIR. Har-
landsoi, DR.. Jennison, and DR.. Mayer,
because they contain the natural di-
gestive acids and fruit essences which
when taken into the stomach cause the
prompt digestion of the food before 1t
has time to ferment and sour, which Is
the cause of the mischief
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are pleas
ant to. take and unequaled for invalids,
children and every person afflicted
with imperfect digestion. 1t is safe to
say they will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, full sized packages at
80 cents. A book on stomach troubles
and thousands of testimonials sent free
by addressing Stuart Co., Marshall

CHURcHMEN PLUCK AN EYE OUT.
Follow Their Pastor in II Question:
able Bible Transaction.

O'Neill, Neb., July S.-Rev. Reuben
Beackim. pastor of a negro church near
O'Neill, is urging the members of his
flock to put out one of their eyes, and
many are complying with his wishes.
Beackim himself practiced what he
breaches some time ago
Inflammation has also affected the re-
naming one seriously, and he is nearly
blind and will probably be so. 1t is his
claim that the Lord approves of one-eyed
men in the twenty-second chapter of
Matthew, in which it is stated that ''if
thine eye be single then shall thy whole
body be filled with light"
The pastor has placed the wrong inter-
probation on the passage, but the over
whelming majority follow him blindly-
literally.
