ADoLPH sAMUELs LAID TO REST.
Ceremonies Over His Remains at Me-
mortal Hall.

Yesterday the last sad rights were per-
formed over the remains OF the late
Adolph Samuels. The funeral services
were performed at Memorial Hall, in the
Odd Fellows building. under the joint
auspices of Germauia Lodge and Walhalla
Encampmont of the Odd Fellows, OF which
order the deceased was one of the oldest
and most honored members on the coast,
having held high office in il. The chaplain
of the order, Mr.. Emil Niemeier, paid
high tribute to the virtues of the de-
ceased, and Rev. J. Nieto delivered an elo-
quent and touchi ing funeral euIogy.
The funeral services were very impress
sive. From Odd Fellows Hall the funeral
cortege proceeded to the Hills of Eternity
Cemetery, where the remains were borne
to their last resting place. The funeral
obseQuies were largely attended.
The deceased was an old resident of this
city. baving lived here ever since The early
sixties. He was a man of sterling worth
and OF unquestioned probity of character.

Told a Tale of Bribery to
Both Ends in the Fair
Craven Case.
Each Side Believed This Tale
and Fiercely Accused
the Other.
Five Thousand Dollars Alleged to
Have Been offered in Compe-
tition for Him.

The present few davs' halt in the march
to the front of sensational incident in the
Fair case is being improved by the two
sides OF the Craven issue by charging each
other with having promised c. S. NJ. Bart
lett 5000 for the testimony for which be

banded savagely before, but they have
now grown a little more definite and a
basis for them has appeared.
The basis is Mr.. Bartlett, who has been
having so much fun with both sides, in
jail and out of it. He has been telling
each side that the other side has offered
him $4,000, and each has cheerfuliy be-
lieved this much from his tongue.
On August 16 Bartlett went onto the
stand for Mrs. Craven's side and testified
that he saw Fair in Notary Cooney's Office
on the day in September, 1894, on which
those deeds were alleged to have been
acknowledged. By the 9th of August he
had switched to the other side, took the
stand and swore that he was mistaken
about it. He was committed for perjury
by the court and then the Grand Jury
took up the matter.
On Tuesday, Seotember 81, an indict-
ment against him was found, as was ex-
clusiveiy related in THE CALL. Among
those heard by the Grand Jury at that
time were Attorney A. Ruef of counsel for
Mrs. Craven and Detective John Curtin,
who has been watching the interests of
the Fair children. Ruef presented long
statement signed by Bartlett before ne
testified IN accordance with it and Curtin
presented longer statement by the wit
ness, IN accordance with which he "cor-
rected" his testimony. In this confession
Iaet . r.. l. l. =
the case by Ruef, who helped him fix his
testimony and who told him after he had
given his testimony that he would get
$4,000.
Ruef also presented the Grand Jury
with long and interesting statement by
E. d. Wilbur, the man who testified to
having seen FAIR enter Cooney's Office on
the day in question. Wil5ur's statement
related that Bartlett had told him on Au-
gust ., after his testimony had been
given, that he was going 10 make an atfi
davlt that his testimony was false, get
$4,000 of the Fair money and skip out. He
kindly gave Wilbur the tip that ne could
stand in and do the same thing, and Viii
bur told the whole story to Ruef
1t appears that Bartlett on various occa-
sions had told freely in Ruef's office that
the other side had offered him 5000, and
that at the same time he was constantly
trying to get small sums of money out OF
Ruet, in which il does not appear that he
succeeded. though he tells Curtin that
Ruef fixed it so that ne could borrow $3.50
from Ruefs brother-in-law, Aaron Herin-'
CHI. Bartlett appears to have been in in
dustrious pursuit OF money while his tes-
timony was pending.
Bartlett is now out on bail provided bv

and r. I. Broder. Bartlett's trial, when
II comes along, VIII afford one of the spicy
side issues in the growing Fair Iitigati ton,

A Sermon for
Those Who Doubt.

hcN. III. ~ OdIFarY
Pres by terian Church last night on
"Credulous Incredulity," a sermon for
doubters. He said in part:
N MY FIRST proposition is that Christ &C.
NH tually lived in this world of ours and
lXl my proof for this night at least is not
Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. but
Josepbus, Piiny the Younger and Tacticus
Ny second proposition is that Christ was a
man OF peerless character and again I seek
the testimony OF those not account ted his best
friends, Rousseau, Goethe, Richter. Carlyle
and Rsnan. Thus good character of Christ
is established Now what has he to say of
himself? What are mis- claims? You acknowI-
ed ge that Chr st was & good man, an honest
man; but Christ claimed to be more than that:
he claims TO be the Soa of God. Now, If Christ
ives not divine he was not an honest man: he
crazy enthusiast aud q blasphemous
liar. There is no getting the divine Christ
out of the eyes of the world. Unbelievers ad-
vance theory after theory, each tramplfpg
down the other, but through it all the divine
Christ stands supIemely divine. Christ is the
way to God He Is one in nature with God: he
was one in nature with u.s. He understood God
wholly; he understood US wholly What will
you do with this divine human Christ of ours?
Will you reject him again? No. Let us a IL go to
the footstool OF divine mercy and sigh out the
publiean's prayer, GOD be merciful to me, the
sinner"

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
 INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.

Do Not be Alarmed, But Look Tor the
 Cause.
 Heart troubles. at least among Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the eXcitemnt and worry of Ameri- can business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor di- gestion.
 Real, organic heart disease is in. eurable; but not one case in a hun dred of heart trouble, Is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor diges tion is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the sympathetic and Pneumogastrlc.
 In another way, also the heart is affected by that form of poor diges- tiOn, which causes gas and fermenta- tiOn from half digested food; there is a feeling of Oppres ton and heayiness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their ac- tion; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the OtOOds bA61ACe u Alilu clIiQ W q ICl J ] which irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the di- gestiOn and to insure the prompt as- similation of food.
 This can best be done by the regu- lar use after meals, of some safe. pleasant and effective digestive prep aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may befound almost drug stores and which contain valu- able, harmless digestive elements, in d pleasant, convenient form.
 1t is safe to say that the regular, persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble, except can cec Of stomach.
 Full sized packages of the tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents.
