PECULIAR POIS0NS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs OF certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of disease
and death called by scientists Ptomaines),
are usually the result of imperfect diges-
tion of food the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse. weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments 0he first process of decay
poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak,
and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning
the brain, causing headache and pain in
the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart. caus-
ing palpitation and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is SO because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal, and weak diges-
tion shows itself not only in loss of ap-
petite and flesh, but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley. said
the best start in life is a sound stomach
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly
because they lack the proper quality of
digestive acids tactic and hydrochloric) and
peptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases OF indigestion is to
take after each meal, one or two of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
supply in a pleasant. harmless form all the
elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
stroyr- uar1yRS "a hripht eve and c1par Corl-
plexion. because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets at 50 cents full sized package or
by mail by enclosing price to Stuart Co.,
Marshall. Mich. but ask your druggist
first.

CELEBRATED CASE DECIDED.
Southwestern Kansas Irrigation Con-
trOversy SettIed-yictory for the
"Great EASTERN" Ditch.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 3O.-(Special) Judge
Foster of the federal court, to-day rem
dered a decision in the celebrated Western
Kansas irrigation suit. Several years ago,
Senator Plumb, Buffalo" Jones and 9TH
ers organized the Southwestern Irrigation
Company under the laws of Kansas. The
company established the Great Eastern"
plant near Garden City, and built about
seventy-five miles of irrigating ditch, tap
ping the Arkansas river. The ditch cost
about S10OO,0O0. After the completion of
the improvements, a family row broke out
in the company, and Jones withdrew and
organized another company to parallel the
ditch first built, and tap the Arkansas
river few miles above the place where
the Great Eastern tapped 1T. rhe new
company was known as the Amazon, end
after it was placed in operation 1t consum-
ed about all the water in the riva-, iEd
rendered the Great Eastern plant vaIueless
The Great Eastern Company filed sui. IN
the federal court to restrain t.le Amazon
from consuming any water until after the
Great Eastern got its full supply. In the
decision to-day Judge Foster .lecreei that
the Great Eastern should receive its water
supply first, amounting to one inch of
water under four pounds pressure for each
acre of the 100000 acres tributary to the
Great Eastern system. The decision will
cripple the Amazon comDany'S interests.

these fellows want to still increase our

Fred Close who was a candidate for rail-

in the selection of railroad commissioners.

an envelope properly directed, and pre-
sented the same to Secretary of State Bush.

his twenty minutes in making n speech
