MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE
IDEA OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE
FOR DYSPEPSIA AND SrOM-
ACH TROUBLES.

| Ridicule. However, is Not Argument
| and Facts Are stubborn Things.
! Stomach troubles are so common and
! in many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radi-
cal, permanent cure for dyspepsia and
| indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never being
lhumbugged, 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 a lit
| tie time and money in faithfully test
| ing the claims of preparation so reli
| able and universally used as Stuart's
| Dyspepsia Tablets
| Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi
cines for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret is

not cathartic, neither do they act pow

| digestion on the common sense plan of
| digesting the food eaten promptly,
| thoroughly before it has time to fer
ment, sour and cause the mischief. This
| is the only secret of their success.

Were Acquitted.

were tried and acquitted in the Police
Court yesterday morning.
The evidence showed that the Two
Cinnamon were outlooks for suspicious
places in Chinatown, and that when
ever an officer appeared they would
slam the door and keep him out.
Justice Davis held that the actions
of the defendants did not necessarily
imply that they came under the ban
of the vagrancy law. and granted a
motion by their attorney w. A. Ander-
son, to dismiss the charges.
Nathaniel Ford, burly young negro,
was found guilty of vagrancy, and will

Charles Butts Disagrees With COun-
ty Attorney Anderson.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
Dear Sir: In your issue of Sunday there
appear some statements purporting to come
from County Attorney Anderson, in which
he says, in substance, that I went to his
Office and preferred certain charges against
the House of the Good Shepherd. This is
not correct. Mrs. Hill came to me and asked
me to assist her in getting Florence Pannell
out Of that institution. After hearing her
statement l referred her to Mr.. Anderson
the county attorney, as 1 would in any case
where a criminal charge was made Some
time afterwards he sent for me and desired
me to institute habeas corpus proceedings to
secure the girls release. I declined to do
so, for the reason, stated to him, that if
Mrs. Hills statements were true a felony
had been committed, and that had no au-
thority from the girl Florence PannelD to
represent her. He then asked me to go with
him to the House Of the Good Shepherd to
investigate. declined, and told him that
this was a private institution, and l did not
think 1t my duty to go. I never saw Mr..
Anderson but twice. and each time at his
request Yours, Charles Butts.

The Unemployed Appoint q Confer

A meeting attended by about 200 Of
the unemployed was held yesterday
afternoon at Labor hall. Peter Max
was chairman Of the gathering. A.
Paradis stated that he had been in
formed that the organization known
as the Associated Charities was en-
deavoring to secure the distribution
or handling Of the $4,000 to be appro-
priated by the city for the unemployed.
The speaker was Of the opinion that
the unemployed did not want charity.
but work or employment Of any kind.
A committee of fifteen, of which P.
j. Gerharty was made chairman, was
appointed to confer with the mayor
and the committee from the council
as to the best plan Of expanding the
money in order that it might do the
most good to the greatest number.
One of the officers Of the Associated
Charities, seen last evening, said the
statements made that the organiza-
ton was in any manner seeking to
secure the expenditure of the O.OO0
was false. The association had no de-
sire to handle or have any hand in the
distribution of the money. and the re-
port was without the slightest founda-
ton. 1t had been customary in former
years, When work was provided for the
unemployed, to have applicants re-
ferred to the agents of the Associated
Charities to ascertain as to whether
they were deserving. Further than
this the association had nothing to do
with the handling or distributing of the
money.

Rev. j. H. Ten Brock chose for HIS
topic The Duty Of the Church To-
wards Her Boys" The speaker deveJ-
oped his subject along two lines, first
by three axioms propounded; second.
some positions the church found itself
placed in towards the boy and vice
versa. The first axiom referred not to
the girl Of the congregation. The boy
was the one who began soon to feel
that he ought to become in some way
manly.

CHARLES ID. ELFELT FOUND UN-
CONSCIOUS IN HIS ROOM AT THE
METROPOLITAN.
NOT EXPECTED TO SURVIVE.
THE PIONEER AND FLORIST HAS
BEEN IN POOR HEALTH FOR
A TIME.
BECAME UNEXPECTEDLY WORSE.
Death Was Looked for to Occur at
Any Time, Although All Hope
Has Not Fled.

Charles D. Elicit. a pioneer in st.
Paul, is dangerously i'll in his room at
the Metropolitan hotel, suffering from
uraemia, which may call him to his
last accounting before the G o b e
reaches it's readers this morning. Mr..
Elicit has been in poor health for some
time, which fact, considering his adj
vanced years, has left him in no con-
dition long to withstand a serious NAL
ady.
Some months ago he was taken to
st. Luke's hospital where he under
went an operation, since which time he
has suffered from insomnia resulting
from extreme pain. On one occasion
a week ago he took some Opiate to
bring on much needed sleep and the
after effects told seriously on him.
" hen he failed to appear at breakfast,
yesterday morning, Frederick Wood
bourne, the insurance man, who takes
his meals at the hotel and usually with
MI. Elicit, went to the latters room
and found him in a. feeble state. His
wants were attended to, but it was not
thought that anything very serious
was the matter
When Mr.. WOOdbourne returned to
the invald's room at dinner time last
evening, Mr. Elfelt was in an I'M
conscious condition. DR.. Metcalf was
forwith sent for and attempted with
DR.. Stamm, Mr.. Elfelt's physician, to
bring the man to consciousness, but
their efforts failed.
1t was first assumed that Mr.. Elfelt
had again taken Opiates which had
worked too powerfully upon his en-
feebled system, but the physicians,
after an examination, stated that this
WIS not the case. They held out but
little hope to his friends that his life
could be prolonged for very long, adding
even that he might not survive until
the breaking Of another day. They
call his difficulty uraemia, and are evil
IDENTIFY of the opinion that it has Secur-
ed too strong a hold upon his system to
be shaken off. A trained nurse was
procured and remained with Mr.. Elfelt
during the night.
A number Of his friends having heard
Of his serious condition visited the hotel
last night, but were not admitted to
the sick mans room. Mr.. Elicit has
extensive greenhouses and makes his
florists headquarters at 2S5 West Third
street, corner of Pleasant avenue.
DR.. Stamm stated that Mr.. E1dfe1t
was in a very dangerous condition, and
that there appeared but little
hope of his recovery. He had been
treating Mr.. Eldfelt for some years for
a kidney affection, the physician stat
ed, and he feared his patient would
not survive this attack of the old trou-

covered consciousness and had shown

termination a matter at the very worst
