1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Cnn BE Cured Unless the
Stomach is First Mndc strong
md NirOrOUs,

This Is plain because every organ in the
body depends upon the stomach for its nour-
shment Nerve bone, sinew blood are made
from the food which the stomach converts
to our use
How useless to treat disease with this, that
and the other remedy and neglect the mCSt
important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms Of indigestion are
sour rlsings, bad taste in the mouth, gas in
stomach and bowels. palpitation, all-gone
feeling, faintness, headaches, constipation;
later comes loss Of flesh, consumption, liver
and heart troubles, kidney diseases. nervous
prcstration, all OF which are the indirect re-
suit of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from Indigestion
should make 1t practice to take after each
meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets, al
lowing it to dissolve in the mouth and thus
mngle with the saliva and enter the stom-
ach in the most natural way. These Tablets
are highly recommended by DR.. Jennison be-
cause they are composed of the natural
digestive acids and fruit essences which as
sist the stomach in dgesting all wholesome
food before II has time to ferment and
sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full sized packages al so cents.
They are also excellent for inyalids and
children. a book on stomach diseases and

was made late last night and this morning
to destroy Altoona, four incendary fires being

the flames were subdued. The storage ware
house OF Cimour & Co. was damaged to the
extent of $1,000, while Mr.. Poets loss was
about 81, 500.

EXPLOSION IN WATER TUNNEL.
Two Men Killed md Four Others Are
Injured,


CHICAGO, March 30.-Two men were killed
and four seriously injured by an explosion
in the northwest water tunnel at the foot of
Oak street today. The dead:
OWEN O'MALLEY.
PETER GALLAGHER.
The injured:
Thomas Gallagher.
Dennis Hayres.
Patrick Conway.
George Blank
The explosion took place at a point 1900
feet under the lake. where excavation was
in progress for a water supply inlet. An
unusually heavy blast had been prepared
by the men and the work had been safely
accomplished. The fuse had been lighted
and the warning given the men to get a
safe distance away. OMalley and Gala
CHER stayed behind for an instant and were
a few feet distant when the explosion oc-
Cured. They received the full force OF the
blast and were literally blown to pieces.
Hayes, Conway and Thomas Gallagher had
run a considerable distance when the ex-
plosion occurred and ordinarily would have
been out of the reach OF the force Of the
blast. This time, however, the flying rocks
and debris seemed to have more than or
dinary force and, besides being burned by
the explosion, they were crushed and bruised
by heavy stones and masses of clay.

FIND ALL THE STOLEN PROPERTY
Petty ThfevinEs Around Columbus
Traced to Arnold Abts.

ATiceu 10 Arnold Abts.
COLUMBUS, Neb, March 3O.-(Special J.
The business men of this city and the farm
ers living near town have suffered greatly
for the last several months from petty
thievery and although several prominent men
have offered good substantial rewards for
the arrest and conviction of the thieves all
EFFORTS to apprehend the guilty parties have
proved futile. A day or two ago a slight
clew was obtained and this morning a party
OF seven men who had been heavy losers went
to Duncan, seven miles west of this city,
and found most of the missing property in
the possession of Arnold Abts, grain buyer
of that little burg. l.. A. Wiley recovered
COW which was stolen last fall and had been
painted to avoid detection. Henry Lubker
recovered a lot of tools which had been
taken from his store some time ago Pat
Murray found lot of harness for which
he had advertised a reward. John Sturgeon
found wagon which had mysteriously dis
appeared and other persons identified prop
erty.
Abts put on a bold front at first and
claimed that he had bought the different
articles from hoboes passing through, but
when asked why hoboes were selling wagons
and why he had painted the COW he weak
ened and told the owners II 1t was their prop
erty to take 1t away. A day or two ago
Abts gave bill of sale on most of his per-
sonal property and was doubtless preparing
to get away. No proceedings have yet been
begun against him.

VIII Grow More Berries This Year.

NORTH LOUP, Neb., March 3O.-tSpecial.)
DR. f. o. Burdick Of this place last year
had in about one-half acre of Strawberries.
From this little plot of ground he sold some
1,2O0 quarts, netting him from 10 to 121a
cents per quart. The Haveln variety was
the largest kind he grew, but he could
select sixteen of these from the bed large
enough to fill a quart box. His method OF
treatment seems to have been superior to
that usually empolyed, but 1t was simply to
prepare the ground with lister and then
plant the sets on the top OF the ridges.
Water was then applied. when thought advis-
able, by allowing 1t to flow through the
depresslons between the rows and gradually
percolate and be absorbed into the earth
toward the plants. He intends to increase
his plants this season, as he could have dis
posed OF several times the quantity he raised
last year had he had them for sale.
