HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not BE Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.

Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among
Americans, are certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due
to the excitement and worry of Amer
lean business life, it is more often the
result of weak stomachs, of poor indl-
gestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case in hundred
of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by
branches Of the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor diges-
ton, which causes gas and fermenta-
ton from half digested food; there is
a feeling of oppression and heaviness
in the chest caused by pressure OF
the distended stomach on the heart
and lungs, interfering with their ac-
ton; hence arises palpitation and
short bIyath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, makes it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart troubles is to improve the di-
gestion and to insure the prompt as
similation of food
This can best be done by the reg
ular use, after meals, of some safe,
pleasant and effective digestive prep
aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, which may be found at most drug
stores, and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements, in a
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble, except cancer
of stomach.
Full sized packages of the tablets
sold by druggists at SO cents.
Little book On stomach troubles
mailed free. Address Stuart Co.,
Marshall, Mich.

chagrin over the disgrace of his father,
Charles M. Charnley, according to his
friends, drove to suicide James Charm
ley, Jr., who was found in his room in
the Hotel Pfiister, Milwaukee, with a
bullet hole in his heart. Charles M.
Charnley, formerly president OF the
Presbyterian Board of Aid for Colleges
and Academies, disappeared last sum-
mer, short some 900 of the funds en-
trusted to him. This weighed heavily
on the sons mind, and it is said that for
some time the young man had been i'll.
The sister and brother of young
Oharnley, both of whom are out OF the
city, were notified at once of the second
disaster that had come to them. The
brother, Charles, is in New York, and
the sister, Miss Constance, is at Smith
College.
The second chapter in the family's
sorrow comes with a crushing weight,
as young Charnley had -Ssumed the
place at the head of the ldmily which
his father had so recently left vacant.
During the days when the story of
Charles NJ Charnley's shortage was
being exploded in the papers, and ever
since, young Charnley had remained in
this city and borne the >brunt of the
elimination, notoriety and disgrace. For
months previous to the fathers disap-
pearance, it is said the impending disas-
ter, which had hung, like Damocles's
sword, by a single thread, likely at any
time to be broken, was known to the
young man.
The identity of the young man was
established in a singular manner. Up
to last night there was apparently
nothing to show who the dead man was.
He had emptied his pockets of every
thing which might give clew and all
that remained for the police to work on
was a gold band ring on one of his fin
gers engraved with the words, easter
Sunday" Hundreds of people viewed
the remains, but all failed of recogni-
ton. Last night, however, a newspa>
per reporter from Chicago visited the
morgue, and, with the deputy coroner,
made a thorough examination of the
clothing. The discovery was made of
the name 81 Douglas, Chicago" in the
Suicides shoes.
The reporter looked up the name in
the Chicago directory and found that
J. Douglas lived at SO Astor street. On
arriving at the Astor street house he
was met by Douglas Charnley, a cousin
Of the suicide. who informed that J.
Douglas was his uncle but that he was
in Europe and consequently could have
no connection with the Milwaukee
mystery. During the conversation, the
thought struck Charnley that his cous. n
had been wearing a pair of his uncle's
shoes and Immediately light was thrown
On the mystery.
1t appears that young Charnley, the
suicide, has been out of work for some
time, but that on Saturday he engaged
with firm at some place in Kentucky
to go to work as bookkeeper. He left
the Aston street residence early in the
day, bidding hts friends goodbye and
was not seen by them afterward alive.

Should Man Who would Garry Il
Gun Such As This.

Patrolman JOhler saw the handle of
a pistol protruding from the hip pocket
of an Italian who jumped off Peck
Vile car last night ON Lackawanna
avenue, and as the man was under the
influence of drink and a bad looking
fellow at all events, he decided to take
the weapon away from him.
The patrolman thought to find an or
binary cheap American revolver, such
as is most commonly carried but to his
great surprise when he grasped the
handle and withdrew it, along came
an even foot of gun. 1t was nothing
more or less than an abbreviated G L
ling gun.

inches in circumference, and the ham

cleared on the window sill for the gun
and the owner was put behind the

vinced that IT is a case along the lines
of the famous one of Cadet Whitaker.
Chief Robling and Detective Dyer are
still on the trail with a lock of the
young woman's hair and grim deter
mination to find the man who clipped
off the braid concealed about their per
sons. The chief has taken the matter
very seriously and between his efforts
to locate the culprit and keep The Trib-
une from finding out what the police
are doing about the case he Is rapidly
losing his peace of mind, He is as un-
successful in one case as he is in the
other. Detective Dyer denies that the
man he arrested Friday night was only
five feet in height. He was five feet
seven inches, says Mr.. Dyer, and as
the prisoner was not measured we give
the detective the benefit of the doubt
Anyway the seven inches more or less
that there was of him does not matter
for he was not the right man. AS a
finale to the mystery of the stolen locks
it is interesting to know just how the
police got their description" of the
"fend" A man named Capwell keeps
a store near the James residence and
on the afternoon the outrage was said
to have been perpetrated three agents
entered the store and left two ValseS
Several hours afterward the men re-
turned and while Mr.. Capwell was alb
sent they took their baggage and dis
appeared. Mr.. Capwell told the police
officers of the visit, describing in detail
tine man who had no collar and tie
and wore patent leather shoes" Mrs
James had also heard of this descrip-
tion from Mr. Capwell and when the
police officers questioned her she simply
repeated it, not taking the trouble to
explain where she got it. The coinci-
dence threw the officers off the right
track and Jack the hair clipper" is
still u free man.
