TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh to Sleep WeH,to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make a Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
INTERESTING EXPERIENCE CT AN
INDIANAPOLIS GENTLEMAN.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat Of the
mischief is lost sight of; the stomach
is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar; in others the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are troub-
led with loss Of flesh and appetite, with
accumulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No 81 Prospect

lows: "a motive of pure gratitude

CREDIT FONCIER.
KiOWa Citizens Learn About
Land Loan Plan.
Mayor Julian Writes the New
York Co.
OBJECT is EXPLAINED
The Borrower EXtinguishes
His Debt
By Small Annual Payments
Small Interest.
OBJECT Is EXPLAINED

Kiowa, May 28.-This city has become
greatly interested in the Credit FOn-
cier plan projected in New York The
object seems to be to loan money on
eastern and southern land, the borrow
er to eXunguiSh the debt by means of
small annual payments.
Through a number of interested citi-
ZenS the mayor sent the following let
ter and has received an explanation:
He wrote:
Dear Sfr:=I have read in the news
papers of a proposed syndicate called
the Credit FOncier, whose object as to
lend money on western security. Now
we think we have one of the best stock
and farming countries in the world, but
we have no money to develop our re-
sources. Kiowa is a little town of
about 1000 inhabitants, situated on the
southern border of Kansas. We have
a wonderful wheat country, but raising
cattle seems to be the most profitable
industry. If you think of placing any
money here write me, giving details.
W. r. JULIAN. Mayor.
Kiowa May 21
In reply the workings of the COM
pany were explained as follows:
The company fixes upon the rate at
which it thinks it can float its bonds.
The projectors of the American COM
pany have fixed this rate at $50 per
cent, which on a bond for 500 is
penny a day. Then the company fixes
upon its rate of profit. This rate has
been fixed at / per cent. Then the eX-
pense rate is estimated. The expense
1 per cent Finally a rate is fixed for
an extra reserve fund to cover uneX-
peeted, but nevertheless practically I'M
aVOidable, losses This rate has been
fixed by the projectors of the American
company at 32-10O of 1 per cent
These rates have been fixed after ex-
haustive study of the operations of the
Credit FOncier of France, due allow
ance having been made for the different
conditions obtaining in America.
The borrowing must pay all this. The
total is 522 per cent. At this point the
principle of 'amOrtizatiOn' is applied
Enough is added to the rate of 5:22 per
cent to eXtinguish the principal within
found that on a 15-year loan, if the
borrower increases his annual burden
by 5.13 per cent, making a total OF 1875
per cent per annum, he will have paid
off all the principal at the end of Is
years.
On-the 5O-year loan he would have to
increase the annual burden of 522 per
cent by only 74-100 per cent, making a
total of $50 per cent per annum, in or
der to have no debt left at the end of
so years.
On a 75-year loan he would have to
add only 2S.100 per cent, making a total
of $50 per cent.
On a 1O-year loan on the Z per cent
basis, the payment for ''amortizatiOn''
on a loan for 81 600 was 81. 50. The Dor
rover in that case would pay $40 q year
for interest, expenses, profit and extra
reserve and S77.3S year for ''amOrti-
cation" and at the end of the ten years
he would be free-the principal having
been paid off in the annual installments
of $7738.

Will LET NOTHING ESCAPE
Railroad Assessors on the Hunt for
Property Which Has Not Been
Taxed.

The state board of railroad asses
sors will drop the work of figuring out
valuations tomorrow and go to Kansas
City and make an effort to increase the
amount of taxable property by assess
ing 80 locomotives stored in a round
house owned by the Union Pacific.
The locomotives are owned by an
eouipfnent company and have been op-
Grated by the Union Pacific under
lease of five years. The lease has term
mated but it contains a stipulation that
the company may renew it and use the
engines in the event an increase of bus
mess makes it necessary. The use OF
one engine one minute reinstates the
contract and extends the lease on the
whole number of locomotives five years
Not being owned by the railroad COM
pany the engines have escaped taxation
but the present board of assessors have
looked the matter up and propose to
have taxes from the company which
owns them.
The attorney general has held, and
the assessors will act in accordance with
that opinion, that the refrigerator cars
owned by the various packing compa-
MES should be taxed.

MADDOX ADJUDGED INSANE
He is Taken to the Asylum-Seems
Rational at Times.

William Maddox, the Valencia ranch
man, was adjudged insane by a jury in
the probate court yesterday. He was
brought to this city by the men who
have been taking care of him for the
past few days, and removed to the asy-
Ium by the same men. Neither his
wife nor his brother-in-law, 3. F. Pan
key, was present at the trial ac-
cOmpanied him to the asylum.
MaddOx's case is a peculiar one Only
at times does he give evidence Of be-
ing insane, the remainder of the time
being apparently in his right mind
When questioned in the probate court
he talked in a perfectly rational man
ner and told a straightforward story
concerning his disappearance.
He said that he remembered getting
out of his boat on the Valencia shore,
and that he was either struck in the
head or something was thrown over his
head, and that when he regained pos
session of his mind he was sitting on
the bank with his feet in the water
He admits that he was in a dazed con-
dition, and says that after walking q
considerable distance he came to a rail-
road car and crawled inside. When
he again became conscious of his sur
roundings he found himself at town
below Wichita
Maddox stated that he rode to Wich-
tia on a train, and got off there with
the hope of finding members of the Ma
sonic order with a view of having them
take him home In Wichita he asked
of the mem bers of the order, and says
that he realizes he must have been act
ing strangely, as the policeman ordered
him to move on. He finally paWned his
watch to the station agent and bought
a ticket to Willard.
Maddox objected to being tried for
insanity, stating that he wanted to go
to a private asylum until he fully re-
covered The men who brought him
to this city had his arms and legs
securely strapped and were to all ap-
pearances thoroughly afraid of their
charge While at Love & Cooks ltv-
cry stable, where Maddox remained
until arrangements were made TO take
him to the asylum, he raved at inter-
walls.
DR.. Carson, the Valencia physician,
stated that Maddox had been violent
for several days, and that to quiet MIN
he had administered 20 grains OF chic
raj each hour for several hours
DR.. w. S. Lindsay examined Mad
dox and stated that the man was sur
fering from acute mania, with no eVl-
dence of an injury as the cause Of his
arrangement

THE COMING SHOOT.
Special Traps to be Constructed
Search for Strong Birds.

Search for Strong Birds.
The details for the big shoot between
1.-The Only Lee Jones and Mr.. H. S.
Montgomery are being closely looked
after and will soon be fully arranged.
Lee has perfected himself by constant
practice SO that there is little left for
him to do but to deliver the receipts
of the shoot to the auditorium commit
tee.
Mr.. Montgomery, however, says Mrs.
Thorpe can go right along contracting
debts for the poor. as he will certainly
turn over the funds to her order. Both
gentlemen have the utmost confidence
in their respective ability to win, thus
guaranteeing a red hot race from the
opening gun to the last words of the
referee. An expert is securing the
country for choice, strong birds. Ev
cry bird must be a, cOrker
There is little credence given to the
report that Mr.. Jones has bribed the
trapper to put squads" in the trap
when he shoots. He says he can pop
'en every pop, and the faster they fly
ua1 kind of traps used are what are
called ground traps" but the sort be-
ing made for this shoot will be the pat
tern known as plunge traps" This de-
vice forces the pigeon to fly whether
inclined to go or not. Mr. Jones is
having his shells loaded at a secluded
spot near Silver Lake by one of the
most adept and experienced shell art
lists in this hemisphere. His cautious
and mysterious action in this respect is
puzzling his friends, but he only looks
wise and intimateS that shells can be
tempered with"
In sporting circles the odds now of
fered on Lee are to 5, but as the day
for the shoot approaches the odds may
he largely increased.

PIToHER HUTCHINSON SHORT.
He Leaves $500 With Hotel Clerl
and the Latter Disappears.

of Frank Stewart, night clerk at the
Lfnden hotel, yesterday was simulta-
neous with the disappearance of $500
left in his care by w. F. Hutchinson,
the ball player.
Hutchinson, who has been released
from the Browns, intended to leave the
city today, and deposited his money
with Stewart for safety. The hotel
people are reluctant to believe that
Stewart is a defaulter, and advance
several theories accounting for his alb
sence.
They resist the demand Of Hutchin-
son for his money, claiming they are
not liable, as Hutchinson was not
guest, and that if Stewart took the
money it was merely a breach of trust.
