1t was almost early candle light when
the shopping was all done. Other
Christmas shoppers elbowed and jost-
led them, their faces full Of the grim
determination and indebtedness that is
the lot of average holiday buyer, while

Tom over his own unlockings.

Washington. Nov. 2S.-A startling
and horrible story of the killing OF two
observation-disclosures and the mutilatiOn OF
their bodies by the natives of the Congo
Free state has just been received here
in Il letter to Mr.. Leo Harmon of this
city. The men were members Of a par
ty which, during November and Decem-
Der, 1854, and January. 1895, wen from
for service in the Congo state. Those
enlisting included Edward Thornton.

FenCibles, employed in the war depart
ment: Lindsay G. Burke. Frank Batch
elor. Harry r. Andrews. Barry Sparlin
and a Mr.. Mellin, or Mellcn, who was at
one time a non-commissioned officer
of the United States army. All except
Thornton and Mel'in were members Of
the national guard of this district.
The information received by Mr..
of 80 natives who were sent out to dis
lodge a band of dwarfs who had revolt
ed, were ambshed and killed. An Arab
who was with the command. but was
some distance off at the time of the
ambuscade. states that he knows Burke
was lead before the natives reached
him, and that most hedious looking lit
tie man he ever saw walked up and cut
Burke's head off with one blow of a
knife.
The chief hen began to slice pieces
of his legs and arms and distribute
them among his followers.
There were so many of the friends
that the pieces were very small, and
before they had concluded, there was
a free fight to see who could get the
little remaining. In some manner the
dwarf became alarmed and left the
place. one fellow carrying Burk's arm.

THEY RIDICULE 1T.
MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE
IDEA OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE
FOR DYSPEPSIA AND
STOMACH TROUBLES.
Ridicule, However. is Not Argument
and Facts are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
i'll many cases are so obstinate to cure
that people are apt to look with sus-
picion on any remedy claiming to be
a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia
and indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on their a%cuteness in never
being humbugged. especially on med
icines.
This fear Of being humbugged may
be carried too far; SO far, in fact, thai
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk a
little time and money in faithfully
testing the claims of a preparation SO
reliable and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important res.
pect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret is
made Of their ingredients, but analysis

muth, hydrastic and nux They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ. but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan
of digesting the food eaten promptly
thoroughly before it has time to fer
ment. o Il and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret of their sue,
cess.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because they act entirely upon
the bowels, whereas the whole trouble
is really In the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af-
ter meals, digest the food. That is all
there Is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison as it creates
gas. acidity, headaches. palpitation OF
the heart. loss of flesh and appetite,
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every.
where at so cents per package. Address
Stuart Co., Marshall. Mich, for book or
stomach diseases or ask your druggist
for it.
