The continued absence Of Mr.. II. NJ.
Clark. cashier of the First National Bank
of Bridgeport gives rise to much comment.
lie left the bank Friday morning TO go 20
Columbus. O.. to look after some insur-
ance matters for his sister, Mrs Young of
Portsmouth. O., her husband, Mr.. Chris.
Young, having died the week previous.
When he did not return on Saturday as
expected. much anxiety was manifested
among his friends, as his general health
has been such for some months that sud-
den attacks were q source of great trouble
and the cause Of which eminent physi-
clans have not agreed upon. These at
tacks brought times of extensive depres-
sion that caused much solicitude on the
part OF mis- friends and officers of the bank.
All concur in the belief that physical suf-
fering and mental worry have so affected
Mir. Clark that the unnecessary action Of
making an assignment led to his going
away without consulting with his friends,
who would gladly have sympathsed with
and assisted him. So far as his accounts
at the bank are concerned. an examination
on Monday proved everything as correct
as the record stated and as it was pre-
viously known 10 be. His assignment was
not revealed by Mr.. Campbell, the attor-
ney who executed it, until Monday about
the same time that his resignation was
received by the president the same having
been mailed to him from Chicago on the
2jth This brought about further careful
examinations. all of which confirm the
confidence heretofore reposed in Mr.. Clark
as cashier. Some investments Mr.. Clark
made in oil territory were disappointing,
and that. together with his physical con-
di,ion bordered on dependency, which
only increases the anxiety of his friends
All examinations and knowledge of other
employees and officers of the bank have not
developed any change or shortage in pre-
vious statements Of his accounts.
The present aspect of matters makes
II appear that Mr.. Clark had made
arrangements for leaving and that
his sudden disappearance had been
Llanned for several days before
hand and was not done on the spur
of the moment. Much TO his credit and to
the gladness of his many friends. his ar
eangements We're for the benefit of his cred
itors. which plainly shows that he did not
leave on account of any dishonest actions.
A legitimate debt of $1,000 owed to the
bank Of which he was cashier was paid
ten days ago. Before leaving last Friday
he made an assignment of all his real and
personal property to w V. Campbell for
the benefit of his creditors. This was not
known until yesterday rs Mr.. Campbell
had pledged himself to Mr.. Clark not to
make It known until Monday, consequent
" the deed of assignment was not filed
in the court of the probate judge until
Monday. His liabilities. although not eX-
actly known, will amount to between $1,000
and $4,000 The assets, which consist of
his Brookside residence and some real es-
tate few miles back of town, will fully
cover the Liabilities.
1t is thought that Mr.. Clark may yet re-
turn and set matter Alright. SO far, how
ever. nothing has been heard from him
since the letter from Chicago was received.

FOUND GUILTY..
The Hearing of James Henry Yester-
day AfternOOn.--Three of the Four
Charges Against the Defendant to
be Passed Upon by the Grand Jury.
The Fourth Appealed.

Yesterday afternoon James Henry
was given a hearing before Squire
Cunning on the four charges of tres
pass, assault and battery, intimidation
and resisting an officer, and breaking
the peace Mr.. Henry was represented
by ex-Congressman John o. Pendle-
ton and the State by Frank w. Nesbitt,
Squire Dunning decided against the de-
PENDANT in all charges and held him ia
the grand jury in the sum of 500 each
for the first three charges. The justice
also demanded a 500 bond for the de-
PENDANT to keep the peace for one year.
From this decision the defendant made
an appeal and it will be argued before
the Criminal court next week. EN-
animation was waived in the charges OF
assault and battery, and intimidation
and assaulting an officer. James Nc
Ginley signed the defendants bond on
each case. The trespass charge wa:
the only question argued by the attor'
news.

Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give you an appetite,
will not increase your flesh and
strengthen your nerves and heart, but
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do these
things, because they are composed of
the elements of digestion, they contain
the juices, acids and peptones neces-
sary 10 digestion and assimilation of
all wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food if placed in a jar or bottle in water
heated to 9S degrees, and they will do
it much more effectively when taken
into the stomach after meals, whether
you have faith that they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do it, and that
is. from plenty of wholesome food well
diges,ed. 1t is not what we eat, but
what we digest that does us good.
