BOY AND GIRL ASSAULTED.
Two Men stopped Them on South
Pennsylvania Street.

A story of an assault on q f1fteen-year-old
boy who lives with his parents on South
PENNSYLVANIA street was told to Patrolman
Todd and his partner who patrol the twen-
ty-frst police district last evening. The Of
ficers were coming up Pennsylvania street
when they met Charles Funk, of 16S Church
street and A. b. Newby, of 80 Spann ave-
nue. The two men said that a few mo-
ments before they met little girl running
down the street screaming for help. She
fell exhausted at their feet They carried
her to Marion Scotts saloon near by, where
she told them that she and her brother
had been set upon by two ruffians, who
beat the boy numerically. She fled in
terror Mr.. Funk and Mr.. Newly started
out to find the \boy. He was badly NAL
treated He told the men that he had gone
to the New York store to accompany his
sister home from work They were walk
ing quietly down Pennsylvania street. Just
after they crossed Georgia street two un-
known men stepped up to them and ad-
dressed the boy roughly, asking him where
he was going.
What are you trying to do? Rob a
cradle?" they inquired brutally
rs that any of your business" retorted
the boy.
At that one of the men struck him in the
face and began beating him. Seeing the
assault on her brother, the little girl ran
away screaming.
The men had neglected to get the names
of the boy and girl but told the officers
that they lived on the east side of Penn
sylvania street in the third house south Of
Merrill street. They reported that the boy
was pretty badly hurt but he was eX-
cited and frightened he could not give a
very accurate description of the men. The
patrolmen decided to investigate the story.
Mr. Newby and Mr.. Funk were just re-
turning from taking the boy and girl to
their home when they met the patromen.

FOUND THE LAMP AND OPIUM
Police Raid an Alleged "JOint' at 372
North Senate Avenue.

An opium joint at S72 North Senate
avenue was raided last night, and the po-
lice claim to have captured the keeper of
the place and four opium fiends For sew
eral days the police have suspected that
all was not right at the house, and yes
terday when a direct tip was received it
was decided to make an investigation. Pa
trolmen Recer and Dunn, the regular pa
tromen in the district and Patromen Cox
and Schroeder met Sergeant Schwab, and
together the five men descended upon the
place. The front and rear doors were
guarded and the sergeant demanded ad-
mittance. There was some scurrying about
within and in about two or three minutes
the door was opened. The police found five
men and a quantity of opium in the gum
form, it is used in the pipe. No pipes
were found and il is believed the men found
a place to conceal them, as the police found
an alcohol lamp such as is used by pipe
smokers, and it had the appearance of hav-
ing been recently used.
The men arrested were Eugene Langs-
dale. who is charged with keeping the
place; Edward Ellis, who rooms in the
Ryan block; Harry Edwards, of Stewart
Place: William White, Ala Bright street
and George Hester, 81 Deloss street. The
arrest is about the third made under the
new ordinance passed about two years ago
to meet such cases. Before the passa ge
of the ordinance there was no law for the
prosecution of such offenders.

HUTTON HAS NO DEFENSE.
Refuses to Make Good IA Shortage, and
VIII Be Sued.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, May 29.-The
county commissioners met in special session
to-day and took action on the shortage of
John c. Hutton, ex-county treasurer, bur
now city councilman. Hutton claims the
county is owing him, but the experts who
examined the books say his claims is pre-
posterous, and that he is indebted TO the
county for $6075.O2 since Sept. l, 1895, when
he retired from office. The commissioners
offered to allow Hutton for all his claims
if he would show proofs, but he has not
been able to do this, and to-day the COM
mtSSioners instructed the prosecuting at
torney to begin suit against Hutton unless
said sum, with interest, is paid into the
treasury at once" The commissioners have
had j. r. Bonnel and Frank Maxwell to
examine the books and the sum demanded
is the result of their work, and the auditor
is instructed to deliver to the prosecutor
all books and papers in the matter. Crane
j. Anderson will aid the prosecutor. Hutton
is apparently without any defense.

PECULIAR POISONS
Generated In the Human Body
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of disease
and death (called by scientists Ptomaines).
are usually the results of imperfect diges-
ton of food; the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia
The stomach, from abuse, weakness. does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food. The result is a heavy sodden mass
which ferments (the first process of decay,
poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak
ard lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the
brain, causing headaches and pain IN the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart. causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, cSus-
Ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal. and weak diges-
tion shows itself not only in loss of ap-
petite and flesh but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start in life Is a SQUAD stomach
Weak stomachs fail to digest food prop
erly, because they lack the proper quantity
of digestive acids dactie and hydrochloriel
and peptogenic products; the most sensl-
bic remedy in all eases Of Indigestion IS 70
take after each meal one or two OF stuart Il
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply ~
a pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsa
Tablets will cure every form OF stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
They increase flesh. insure pure blood
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear com, com,
plexion. because all these result only from
wholesome food Well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuarts nyspep-
sia Tablets at 80 cents full sized package
