of Asbury Church, 1916 nth ST., NV.
Prof. A. B. Cosey of New Jersey, the

He is young politician.
Mr.. Chas. w. Anderson, New York S

no doubt, the ShreWdeSt in the State,
is the guest of Ex-Governor P. B S.
Pinchback. Mr.. Anderson is favorite

WHAT | SAW AND HEARD

1t is, indeed, amusing TO see the
army of office-seekers. They all
want office, and that badly. Moth
ing will satisfy the hungry office
seekers hut an Office. President
Mckinley will have his hands fu i.
Every candidate for the office of
Recorder of Deeds intends to have
his picture taken. This is a novel
way of introducing themselves to
the President. If the President
decides to appoint an outside man
it is quite likely that Baltimore will
stand good chance.
Mr.. L. W. Pulies, like his friend,
81. C. G. Astwood, declared for
Mckinley after he was elected.
Perhaps some of the colored demo-
Gratis will be given chance to ex-
plain.
There is to be clean sweep in
the Recorders office. Hen John
son is a dandy, and will, no doubt,
work his rabbit foot. Henry only
wants two hours with any Recorder
to convince him that he is neces-
sary quantity. He knows how to
do, and he can do it well Iago in
Othello is in the shade with Henry.
He can make any man believe that
the moon is made vf green cheese.

IS IT A TRIFLE.
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID
DYSPEPSIA, OR SOUR STOMACH
Now Recognized as a Cause of seri-
Gus Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is form
of indigestion resulting from fermen-
tation OF the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest it, the food
remains until fermentation begins
filling the stomach with gas, and a
bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth
is often present. This condition soon
becomes chronic and being an every
day occurrence is given but little at
tention. Because dyspepsia is not i'm
mediately fatal, many people do moth
ing for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at 80 cents
per package. 1t is prepared by the
Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich, and while
it promptly and effectually restores a
vigorous digestion, at the same time is
perfectly harmless and will not injure
the most delicate stomach, but on the
contrary by giving perfect digestion
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.

eases by addressing Stuart Co.,

STORY OF A WOMAN IN BLACK
HER CONNECTION WITH a
PENNSYLVANIA MURDER.
Plot to Murder Wife For Life In
surance-Carried Out on a Lone
ly Road.

Norristown, Pa, Dec. N.-The hear
ing of Charles Clemmer and Elizabeth
K. DeKalb, the alleged accomplices of
Charles o. Kaiser in the murder of his
wife, Emma P. Kaiser, Oct. 10, 1896,
took place before Magistrate LeNandt
today. Mrs. Kaiser was shot while
riding with her husband on a lonely
road near here. The alleged motive of
the crime was to secure $4,000 insur-
ance on her life. Kaiser has been SEN
fenced to death. Miss DeKalb, the no
torious woman in black, went on the
stand and told the story of her life
and the plans Of the conspiracy. Her
story was of a startling nature and
most damaging to Clemmer. She told
of a plan which Clemmer and Kaiser
had agreed upon for getting Mrs. Kali
ser out of the way. This was to chic
reform the woman and then set fire to
the bed This plan, she said, was not
carried out because Kaiser lost his
nerve. Miss DeKalb told of several
carriage rides she had with Mrs. Kali
ser, the majority of which We're
planned by Clemmer. Her description
of the drive which ended in the murder
was minute one and was ataentively
listened to. It is believed the common
wealth will allow her to enter a plea
of accessory, after this fact 1t was
thought to be impossible to convict
Clemmer without Miss DeKalb's evil
dence; hence the abandonment of the
original intention to prosecute both as
principals.
On telling of the murder Miss De-
Kalb said that on the night Of the
death of Mrs. Kaiser she was informed
that Mrs. Kaiser was to be slightly
wounded so that some money could be
realized on the policy held on her
against accidents. Miss DeKalb said
she and Clemmer rode in a carriage

The case of Theophilus Parsons
against A E. Hyde ct al. was tried
yesterday before Judge Cherry and a
jury, with Attorneys H. J. Dininny and
c. H. Baldwin representing the plain
tiff, and Messrs, Thomas Marshall, w.
c. Hall and d. B. Hampstead for the
defendants.
1t is alleged in the complaint that the
defendants. A. E. Hyde and John Beck
on June 1, 1891, agreed to transfer to
w. P. Belding for value received 10000
shares OF the capital stock of the Sc
vier Mining e. Milling company. On
June of the same year the contract
was assigned to this plaintiff.
Plaintiff then alleged that the trans
fer of the stock was never made, and
that the defendants refused to make
the transfer, wherefore the plaintiff
asked for judgment for $4,000, the value
of the stock.
The defendants answer alleged that
they had never received any notice
from Bedding of the assignment of the
contract to this plaintiff, and that for
a consideration of $500 paid by John
Beck, Bedding had released the de-
PENDANTS from the contract.
The case reached the jury late in the
afternoon, with instructions to return
a sealed verdict this morning.

Gullivan Held For Trial.

Daniel Gullivan, who was arrested
some weeks ago on the charge of hav-
ing criminal relations with Annie
Simpson, girl under the age of IS
years, had a preliminary hearing yes
terday before Justice Stewart. The
complaining witness was Mrs. Cornelia
Paddock of the home for the reforma-
ton of women and young girls. She
testified that the girl was an inmate
of the home, and that the offense was
committed last February, and that a
child had been born to the girl. Annie
was examined also. and substantially
corroborated the statement of Mrs.
Paddock. She is a bright, good look
ing, intelligent girl, and appeared
rather unwilling to prosecute the de-
PENDANT. The result of the hearing was
that Gullivan was held in $500 bonds
for trial in the district court. He gave
the bond and was released.
