Dublin, Tex, Nov. 2S-An attempt was
made 10 rob a westbound passenger train
on the Rio Grande railroad al o'clock
this afternoon. about three miles west Of
Dublin. As the train rounded a curve
approaching a deep cut the engineer OBJ
served pile of rock on the track in the
middle of the cut. He reversed his en-
gine, stopping the train with jolt, and
almost instantly had his train in motion
again, backing toward this place. The
engineers action was so quick that the
robbers were unable 10 board the train,
but as the train backed out Of their trap
they opened fire upon the locomotive.
The engineer and fireman crouched be-
hind the boiler to avoid the bullets.
There were four robbers, and they were
not masked. When officers reached the
scene the ROBBERS had disappeared. The
passengers on the train rewarded the en-
gineer with a liberal purse.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLE.
Do Not BE Alarmed, hut Look For the


Do Not BE Alarmed, Hut Look For the
Cause.
Heart troubles. at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing, and while
this may oe largely due to the excite
ment and worry OF American business
life. it is more often the result Of weak
stomachs, OF poor digestion.
Real. organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
bic and poor digestion is because botn
organs are controlled by branches of the
same great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by that form, Of poor digestion.
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food: there is feel
ing Of oppression AMI heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure Of the distend-
ed stomach on the heart and lungs, in
terfering with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion aiso poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and 'wealxens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is 20 improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation OF food.
This can best be done 10y the regular
use after meals OF some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, ike
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments. in a pleasant. convenient form.
II is safe to cay that the regular, per-
sistent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form
OF stomach trouble, except cancer of the
