INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
Of an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of
Dyspepsia After Suffering for
Twenty-Five Years.

Mrs. Sarah A. SkeeIs, an estimab1e
lady residing at Lynnville Jasper coun-
", iowa, was for twenty-five years a
SUFFERER from Dyspepsia, and her COM
pIete restoration to health is so remark
able that We present the facts in the
case for the benefit of our readers
many OF whom have doubtless suffered
IN the same manner and will therefore
De interested in learning how all stou-
ach troubles may be avoided and cured
MRS. Skeels says: I used only one pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
received such great and unexpected
beneht that I wish to express nv sin
cere gratitude. In fact, it has been six
months since took the medicine and
or difficulty since. And all this in the
face of the fact that the best doctors I
consulted told me my case was incura-
bic, as l had suffered for TWENTY-FIVE
years. L want half a dozen packages to
distribute among my friends here who
are very anxious to try this remedy.
Truly Yours
MRS. SARAH A SKEELS.
! The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
digestion and stomach trouble and the
reason why it never diSappoints those
who need it and use it is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it will
actually perform. 1t is not a cure-alI
and no such claims are made for it. 1t
IS prepared for the sole purpose of cur
ing Dyspepsia and the various forms
of indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure Dys-
pepsla as we'll as a hundred other trou-
bles- When as matter of fact a rem
edy to cure Dyspepsia must be pre-
pared especially for that and nothing
else; and among all the remedies, pat
ent nostrums- bitters. etc, so extern
sively advertised you will find that
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
one advertised as cure for Dyspepsia
and nothing else. The remedy is pre-
pared by the Stuart Co. of Marshall.

Two Rigs Stolen From the Street Yes

The police are somewhat bothered by
the operations of what is believed to be an
organized gang of horse and buggy thieves
in this City. Two rigs were suddenly
missed yesterday and the Police Depart
ment is now on the lookout. for the ras-
Gals who made away with them.
A buggy belonging to Lang's ColIec-

building yesterday morning about 10 80
O'Clock while the owner went upstairs.
Five minutes later two well-dressed men
climbed in and drove it off. The horse
was gray animal and the buggy black
vehicle with an al" painted on each side
About noon another horse and buggy we're
stolen from the south side of Market
street, between Montgomery and Kearny.
The owner at first thought that some
friend was trying to hoax him, but later
concluded that it was the work of thieves
and started out to report at police head
quarters.
A number of other losses of this kind
have been reported to the police, and
thus far none have been recovered.

This aged couple lived together for many
years, rearing a family of thirteen chill

down its burdens together as if nature
had ordained that one could not survive
the others deaf
So closely interviewer were the lives OF
this happy couple that when the aged

days, the husband, stunned by the shock
OF his companions death, fell i'll and sur

Mrs. Mock.er died of something akin 10
pneumonia and, though the physician &
certificate does not say so, John Mockler
died OF a broken heart. He never revived
or had ambition to fight the battle after
he learned that his life com panion lay in
their little home, 90 Duncan street, cold
in death. Both were up and apparently
as well as usual week ago, but both now

the San Francisco Y. NJ. c. A. that in the
three years of its organization has played
thirty-five matches without ever losing
enc will try desperate chance on the
Central Park gridiron tomorrow after
noon. 1t will play the much heavier
eleven of the Lick Polytechnic School.
The contest will be one heightened by
old rivalry, by petty jealousies and by the
determination of each team to maintain
its record of no defeat this season.
Game will be cal led at o'clock. Lieu
tenant Hinckley of the Presidios, who has
gained reputation as an official in recent
big matches, will act as referee and Cap
tain Ransome of the University of Cali
fornia Varsity team will be umpire.
The same teams met about a year ago.
Over 1900 people witnessed the game.
Y. M. G. A. won by single touchdown
and goal after hard struggle. Since then
both teams have greatly improved. Both
have 8 good seasons record to look back
upon. Since then also Specht, end, and
Hewson, fullback, have left the Lick
eleven, after general misunderstanding,
and are now among the stars of the Y. M.
G. A. team.
This transfer has created a bitterness
among the Lick men that may be physic-
ally demonstrated during the scrim images
and the hard tackling.
The Lick team looks expectantly for
ward to this meeting as a chance TO
settle all old scores and to vanquIsh for
the first time in its history the hereto
fore invincible Christian Association
team, that Justly claims the lightweight
championship of the coast
The Y. M. G. A. expects the hardest
full that it's perfected team work may
