There was plenty of enthusiasm in the

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion or in its chronic
form, dyspepsia, and for the
very reason thatit is so common many
people neglect taking the proper treat
ment for what they consider triffing
stomach trouble, when a matter of fact,
indigestion lays the foundationtor many
incurable diseases. No person with
vigorous, healthy stomach will fall
victim to consumption. Many kidney
diseases and heart troubles date their be-
ginning from poor digestion; thin, nerv-
Gus people are really so because their
stomachs are out of gear; weary, languid,
faded out women owe their condition to
imperfect digestion.
when nearly every person you meet
is stflicted with weak digestion it is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to be cure for dyspepsia, as well as
score of other troubles, when in fact, as
DIR, Werther says, there is but one genu-
inc dyspepsia cure which is perfectly
safe and reliable, and moreover, this
remedy is not patent medicine, but 1T
is scientific combination of pure pepsiD
free from animal matter), vegetable es-
sences, fruit salts and bismuth. 1t is
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extrav-
agant claims are made for them, but for
indigestion or any stomach trouble,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead
of any remedy yet discovered. They act
on food eaten, no dieting is necessary,
simply eat all the wholesome food you
want and these tablets will digest it. A
cure results because all the stomach
needs is rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets give by doing the work OF diges.

Druggists sell these tablets at so cents
per package. Little book on stomach

MYERS ON TRIAL.
A Notable Lawsuit That Has
Long Been Delayed.
COMPETE 1T JURY SECURED.
An Array OF Legal Talent That viii Add to
the Interest of the Case Formally
Opened ut Monday After
moons Session.

The case Of Ohio VS.. John W. Myers,
indicted for embezzlement, was commen-
ced in cou,t room No. Monday after
noon, before Judge Taylor and a jury.
The case was assigned to commence at 10
O'Clock. At this hour everybody was
present except Judge George e. Baldwin,
who is to assist Prosecuting Attorney
Pomerene in the prosecution. Judge
Baldwin was employed in the argument
Of case in room No. which required
his attention duying the forenoon. For
this reason court adjourned until after
noon, when the case was finally begun.
Welty & Albaugh and Virgil p. Kline of
Cleveland are conducting the defense.
10 W. Myers was originally indicted
in October, 1895, for embezlling about
$4,000 as deputy treasurer of Stark
county when G. O. Bow was prosecuting
attorney. As an additional precaution,
defendant was indicted in 1896 and
eighty-four counts were set forth, cover
ing about 1000 of the amount, together
with general count covering the whole
amount charged.
A demurrer as to the right of the state
to indict deputy under the statute which
refers to the acts of public officer was
filed. The case was argued in tie supreme
court by Welty & Albaugh and Judge
Day, and the demurrer sustained on the
ground that Myers was not public
officer. Prosecuting Attorney PomerenC
took up the case and it was brought be-
fore the grand jury in the September
term of 1897. There were found against
the defendant eight different indictments
for embezzlement. Among these was one
for embezzling from Joseph Maudru, and
Others for embezzling from the funds Of
the State Of Ohio, Stark county, City Of
Canton, various municipal corporations
townships and boards of education lying
in whole or in part in the county, which
said funds were in the custody of JOSEPH
MRudru, county treasurer.
1t Is under these indictments that Johr
W. Myers is now on trial.
The jury was secured by 2 O'Clock, there
being less difficulty in that regard than
had been expected. At 2:30 o'clock the
examination of witnesses commenced.
THE JURY.
Following is the jury that will decide
the merits of the case:
