A BLOODTHIRsTY FIEND.
A Murderer of the Jnck-the-Rippcr
Order Arrested in France.

Lyons, France, Oct. PA shepherd
named Yacer has been arrested at Bel
ley, forty-fOur miles from this city,
charged with committing series of
Jack-the-Ripper" murders. He has
confessed to killing three shepherdesses,
three girls and two old women.
He was formerly confined in an
asylum for the insane. The series of
murders attributed to him commenced in
1894 and they appear to have been ac-
tuated by purely bloodthirsty instincts,
as the victims were poor. They were
terribly mutilated after their threats had
been cut. and all the women We're crimi-
nally assaulted.

TOCURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, Make n Test
of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an In
dianapolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia;
people having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the mis-
chief is lost sight of: the stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregular;
in others. the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accumula-
ton of gas. sour rsings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
St., indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts me

Noreross Of WAshoe. IL one of the smooth
est jobs ever engineered in Nevada LeQis-
lAture, although it is believed that Mr.. Nor
cross introduced it in good faith without
knowing the 'iEe of the grab behind it. 1t
Is nothing more than = scheme on the part of
script dealers in San Francisco to realize q
big profit out Of the bonds Of Lincoln
county. The history of the scheme ia as
follows:
In 1878 Lincoln county issued bonds to
the extent of $3.50, 900. bearing 10 per cent
Irtsrest pr annum. The interest aud prin.
e,pAl nov amounts to 5000, 900. In 1895 20
interest had been paid aud no part Of ii e
principal For ten years prior to 95 the
Commissioners Of Lincoln unity failed to
levy any tax to meet the payment Of these
bonds, aud the holders, SutrO & Bros. and
the e,tate of Nicholas Lunning, sued the
county in the u s. Court and obtained a
judgment for $500. 600.

Of the San Francisco script dealers. 1t

An extra tax has been already levied by

which they were forced to do for the pur.
pose Of paying interest on these bonds, and
if an extra bullion tax, outside of the bullion
tax now paid by our producing mines, the
| general tax and the As cents interest tax il
to be put into force, it is going to be a sever,
blow to the mining industry in this county
and will in all probability work to tn,
county and state an irreparable loss. w
do not know to what extent, or the exac
nature of this bill. but it looks like one tina
