Army Causes Madness.

st. Louis, Sept. 16.-HopeIessly insane,
Mrs. Margaret Hogan, now at the city
hospital, will be sent to an insane asy-
lum, probably to remain there for life.
She was driven mad by anxiety for her
son Harry, her only support, who en-
listed with Troop NJ, Third United
States cavalry. Mrs. Hogan did not
want him to go, but, fired with enthu-
siasm, he seemed to forget his home du-
ty, and it was too late to change when
he came home one day an enlisted SOL
der to say gOod-by. She did not hear
from him, and, thinking him dead, went
crazy

LAWYER EMBEZZLER.
Warrant Issued for Arrest of Fenton
Z. McDermott

Fort Scott, Kan. Sept. 16.-Fenton L.
McDermott, a well known attorney, and
one of the oldest residents of this city,
is a fugitive from justice, charged with
embezZlement.
The warrant for his arrest was is
sued late this afternoon upon COM
plant of Miss Mary u. Miller of Kan
sas City, for whom the missing man
has been acting as agent, and the mon
ey he is accused of embezzling is rents
that he has collected during the last
four years. Although Miss Miller in
the warrant only accuses him of get
ting $50, yet in an attachment suit fled
in the district court today she seeks to
recover $500, and has attached his ex-
tensive library, four driving horses and
carriages.
McDermott has not been seen since
yesterday, although officers have been
looking for him all day. He sent his
young wife a note yesterday stating
that he had gone to Missouri, but would
return in a few days, and she believes
he will. 1t is thought by some of the
missing mans friends that he has gone
to Kansas City to consult Judge Stew
art, who, it is understood is the admin
istrator of the Miller estate, while 9TH
ers believe that he has suicided. The
charge against him caused much sur
prise here, as he was supposed to be
quite wealthy.

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not a Paten
Medicine.

DR.. Redwen relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected, caus-
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night.
gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose As
an experiment I finally bought a fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and u pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet l consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians's line of
remedies, as they are perfectly harm
less and can be given to children or in
valids or in any condition Ofthe stomach
with perfect safety, being harmless and
containing nothing but vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden
Seal
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton, biliousness, constipation and all
arrangements of the stomach however
slight or severe
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.

FATAL SPANISH GUN.
While Private Hickey is Carrying It
It Goes Off and Kills Him.

New York, Sept. ia Spanish rife
which William Hickey did not know
was loaded went off while he was car
rying it from the transport Saratoga,
a ia Brooklyn dock, and the man was
killed.
The Saratoga arrived here two days
ago with the arms surrendered by the
Spaniards at Santiago and Ell Canev.
On board were 5000 Mauser rifles and
200 tons of ammunition. One of the
men engaged in unloading the cargo
was Hickey. He had some of the rifles
in his arms, when he stunt led and one
of them was fired off. The bullet tore
a great hole in the mans right side.
The rifles were not supposed to be
loaded and how the one that killed
Hickey came to have a cartridge in it
is mystery.

ONLY TROUBLE.
Will Come of Trying to Govern the
Philippines Says Senator SewalL

Washington. Sept. Ex-senator Sewau
of New Jersey stopped in Washington
on his way to the hot springs, Virginia,
where he will spend a month. He WISH
ted the war and navy departments, the
first with relation to the question of the
distribution of troops and the navy de-
partment with relation to the award of
contracts for the construction of the
new war vessels. Some time ago Sen
ator SeWa1 suggested to the president
and Adjutant General Corbin the ad-
visibility of transferring individual sol
dierS who desire to remain in the SER
vice from regiments mustered out to
regiments that will be retained taking
the place of such men in the latter reg
lmentS as for some good reason should
be discharged.
No general plan of this sort has been
dopted in a formal way but it is be
ing put in practice in cases where it is
obviously desirable that men being
mustered out on personal application
where their places can be filed by re-
cru1tS and the reason for the muster
out is obviously a good one.
Senator Sewall in speaking of the
peace negotiations, said that it was well
retention of the Philippines on the
ground they would be an almost end
less source of annoyance.
The retention of these islands. he
said, would involve the maintenance of
a large standing army and large navy
and the character of the population was
such that we would have consequently
difficulty in trying to govern them. He
said that we had had trouble enough
with the few Indians that we had to
deal with in this country and that we
could judge from that the difficulty we
would find in governing ten million
people of a savage race, a comparative
ly small portion of whom were civilized.
