The Third Hripade

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. Blowing to
the disagreeable weather the Signal Corps of
the Third Brig ade has been doing but little
work with the heliograph during the past
month and are awaiting with impatience the
time when they can again go afeid. At the
last drill flag work taken up and the
mem bers were put through thorough course; !;
four stations were established in the armory
by Lieutenant Martin and the men were kept
busy sending interesting war messages for
upward of two hours. AS the mem bers we're
not allowed 10 speak Sbova a whisper while at
work any mistakes made in signaling had to
be Tectihed with flag instead of talking
across the hall. In accordance with general
order No. l, the corps Las Leen ordered out on
Washiugton's birthday for heliograph prac-
tice. Stations will be established around the
city and signaling will be kept up from 1
O'Clock TO D 2. VI.
The chief topic of interest among the mem.
bers of the corps al the present time is the
! coming pistol shooting contest between Lieu
! tenant Martin and Sergeant Bailey Both
men are crackerjacks and about eyenlv
| matched, but il is said that the majority of
! the corps are backing the sergeant although
! there are others who think their Wagers are
/ safe the lieutenant.
The corps headquarters have been remode led
/ and are considerably improved in appearance
| Sergeant Martins term has expired and owing
! 10 the fact that his business takes up so much
of his time it will be impossible for him to
re-enlist. In the retirement of Sergeant Mar
| tin the corps loses very popular and compe-
| tent signalman. He has been a mem Der of the
corps tor the last seven years and is a general
favOrite with his associates. His successor
! Will be appointed at the next regular meeting
/ in March.
Within the next two months the CORDS will
! probably be increased TO a membership of
| forty, and the bows then claim that they will
! make matters exceedingly lively for the other
! corps throughout the State.

yesterday with fine equipages, cyclers and
pedestrians. The weather having been
unpropitious for several Sundays, nearly
every body was behind on outing pleas

A TweIve-Year-Old Boy Smoked Them
There-AmbitiOus for PlainfieId.
According to the evidence brought out in
the Criminal Court yesterday Howard Will
hanson, a pale and delicate lad of twelve
years. must have become completely met
amorphosed in the last three months. The
boy was on trial on the charge of incor-
rigibility. His mother, who lives at No. 1919
North Meridian street, was the prosecuting
witness. From her story the Criminal Court
officials judged the boy must be young
desperate of the most pronounced type.
His mother declared he was a dutiful,
tractabls boy up to few weeks ago, but
he suddenly became unmanagebale. She
says he refused to permit his teacher to
punish him, and struck the teacher in the
face when she attempted it. Mrs. William
son further told of the boys smoking
cigarettes, and coming home in an inebri-
ated condition He also patronized the En-
pire Theater.
Last Friday, Mrs. Williamson said, she
made up her mind to punish the boy, and
procured a strap for the purpose. She took
him into a room and locked the door, but
was unable to administer a satisfactory
thrashing. Then she decided to keep him in
solitary confinement for time, but he
threatened to escape from the room through
the transom. Then she sent for a police
man. first sending a Mrs. st. Claire into the
liceman arrived. The patrolman told the
court yesterday about finding the door
locked when he arrived to take charge of
open the door, and she called back that she
did not dare. The policeman said the boy
used shocking language, and dared him to
enter the room. He finally had to break in
the door in order to capture the youth. Mrs.
Williamson's attorney said he called on the
boy at the jail one day last week and found
him smoking cigarettes. The boy has not
a vicious appearance, and the court officials
were much astonished at the stories told of

that she would be glad to keep him at

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

Heart troubles, at least among Americans,
are certainly increasing, and, while this may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
of American business life. it is more often
the result of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in a 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 pneumogastrlc.
In another way also the heart is affected
by that form of poor digestion which causes
gas and fermentation 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 action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
makes 1t thin and watery. which irritatea
and weakens the heart.
me most sensible treatment for heart
troubles Is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food
mis- can best be done by the regular use
AFTER meals of some safe, pleasant and eff
fectiVe digestive preparation like Stuarts
dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain valu-
able, harmless digestive elements in a pleas
ant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular. per-
Sistent use or StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach

druggists at 90 cents.

TEE ASSOCIATION DEFUNCT.
James NJ. Smith Hunting the Members
TO Collect q Judgment.

to Collect a Judgment.
James NJ. Smith, in the Marion Superior
Court, has sued the Fraternal Accident AS
ISOLATION on a judgment for $500, and
makes application for a receiver to take
charge of the insurance companys effects.
The plaintiff says he became member Of
the defendant association in September,
1885, and in October of the same year had
his arm so badly injured that it had to be
amputated at the wrist. His policy in the
Fraternal Accident Association was at the
time in full force. Smith says the associa-
ton failed to settle with him, and in Octo-
ber 1896, he brought suit in the Delaware
ment for $500 He makes the charge that
the defendant association, to avoid paying
the judgment, went out of business, and he
believes the important books and papers of
the concern are now secreted either in this
city or in the city of Fort Wayne.
The plaintiff shows the court that he
levied on all the property of the associa-
ton he could find, but this was not sutfi-
cient to satisfy the judgment. He thinks
there were about 400 members of the as
sociation when business was suspended,
and he says if these members are required
to pay the assessments they owe his judg-
ment could be satisfied The plaintiff asks
that a receiver be appointed to take charge
of the books and assessment lists of the as
ISOLATION, and draw on the members at once
for the amounts they owe.
