SwINDLER DELENOS' CAREER.
One of the Most Rcma rka BILE Crimi-
nails of the Century

The Pension Department has just Sc
ured the conviction of Ben De Lemos
at ontgomery. Ala, for robbing an
aged negro claimant of $700. DeLemos
Eas filed a notice of appeal to the
United States court at New Orleans.
If half the testimony secured by the
Government al DeLemos' trial be true
he is one Of the most remarkable
criminals of the century. In the cot
ton fields. of the South he posed as a
negro preacher and saint: in Missouri
he was a Republican politician; IN
South Carolina he was a Democrat and
Prohibitiunist and sold autograph BIZ
bieS supposed to be signed by Gen.
Grant to the farm hands at eXhoTbi-
tant prices. In Alabama he was tramp
laborer, politician and finally member
of the legislature and was elected al
ternate Ia the ST. Louis convention
that nominated Mckinley.
Russian Jew by birth. his career
in the United States began at Brazito
Mo, near jefferson City. where he
worked on a farm and taught his en-
ployer's children at night Governor
Thomas c. Fletcher of that State
gave him job at the Missouri capitol
and when Governor Mcclure was elect
tts Dtl-clliOS bctdiiie messenger.
Senator John Is. Henderson brought
him to Washington and he was an in
innate follower of General Carl Schurz
in the latter's political campaign.
Washington life was too fast for De-
Lemos and he drifted East to New York
and then tramped through the South
ern States He smuggled his way from
Baltimore aboard a steamer to Mo-
bile. AT Montgomery, while tramping.
he sneaked into the State house and
slept over night in the speakers chair.
In less than two years after that he
was entitled to seat in that chamber
1t was while acting as general cOun-
selor and adviser of the negroes in
Lowndes county that he appropriated
the old pensioners money. Before the
trial someone broke into Special EX-
aminer Hopes room and stole the pa
pers in DeLemos' case, but he was con-
Yicted anyway.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, simple, But Safe Eff
feCtual cure for IT.

Catarrh OF the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usua symptoms are a full or bloa ing
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery -TisingS, a
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs, and difficult breath
ing; headache, tickle appetite, nervous
ness. and a general pla yed out, languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for this comiuon and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of
the stomach.
To secure prompt and healthy di-
gest ion is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition Will have disap-
peared.
According to Or. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
neai ia blet, composed of Diastase,
Aseptic Pepsin, little NuX, Golden Seal
and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets and, not being a pat
ent medicine, can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
