something to KNOW.

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts BY
giving tone to the nerve centers in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.
Try it. Sold for soc and 81 per bottle

Bell Company Fears Theodore M. Vail

New York, May 25.-Persons inter-

mess are wondering who Theodore M.
Vail is and what connections he has
with the Western Union Telegraph
company. It has just been learned
that he is the largest holder of Ameri-
can Bell Telephone stock, there being
1904 shares standing in his name on the

Mr.. Walls identity was unknown but he
is believed to be a close personal friend
of General Thomas T. Eckert, the presi-
dent of the Western Union company.
His name does not appear in the city

1t is thought that the Western Union
has been an extensive buyer Of Bell
Telephone stock and has covered up
it's purchase by having certificates
made out in the name of Theodore NJ.

How Long the Heart May Stop Beating.

When the heart stops death ensues,
as a matter of fact, through asphyxia-
ton. The circulation ceases, the Ca
pillaries of the lungs become gorged
with stagnant blood, while the blood
in the brain no longer carries away
the waste products and brings the
oxygenated fluid to restore the tissues.
As the blood takes about half minute
10 circulate through the whole system,
it may be taken that at the end Of this
period after the stoppage of the heart
the arteries would be filed by the last
effort of the left ventricle, while the
veins would be pouring their contents
into the right auricle. In few seconds
more the nervous centers would cease
to act, and probably by the end of the
minute the subject would be practically
dead from suffocation, although reflex
muscular action would probably keep
up the appearance of life for some Sec
onds longer.
