The Surprise oT.l

James Jones, of the D * firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill, in speak
ing of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with la grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden and
Pana could DO nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into hasty con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. DIR.

ton, coughs and colds is guaranteed

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding The Rapid
Increase of Heart Troubles.
Do Not BE Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.

DO Not BE Alarmed, But Look For thu
Heart troubles, at least among
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due Il
the excitement 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
durable; but not one case in u hun
dred of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by
branches of the same great nerves,
the sympathetic and pneumOgastric.
In another way, also the heart is
affected by that form ofpoor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half di gested food; there is 4
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, makes it thin and watery.
which irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treat for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion
and to insure the prompt assimilation
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 Tab
let's, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valua-
BILE, harmless digestive elements in a
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
Ger of the stomach.

AN INSURANCE ASSOCIATION

The Property Owners Fire Insur-
ance association is the latest acquisi-
ton TO Rock Islands business com
munitY. X Eueutson is the energetic
manager of the institution, which has
located in the Mitchell IL Lynde block.
In seeking more convenient location
for extending its operations into Il
wider field, the association has moved
its headquarters from Des Moines to
Rock Island, and it is hoped will rea-
lie the anticipated advantages in the
change of location.
The association is not an insurance
company but an organization of pre-
MUM payers working for the sup
preston of incendiarism and to pro-
mote economy in fire insurance affairs.
The organization bears most substan-
tial business credentials from property
and insurance interests in generals:

journal in its latest issue refers to this

councils of which our old friend Mr..

the total bill of the Insurance com

DEAN WANTS A NEW TRIAL.
\ Motion Filed in the Embezzlement
Case.

4 Motion Filed in the Embezzlerner,t
Case.
w A Dean, who stands in the
shadow of the penitentiary walls. con-
victed of embezzlement, has hled
motion for new trial, through his
attorneys, McCaskrin &c McCaskrin,
who seem inclined to believe their client
will be given another opportunity to
clear himself. Dean is a spare. aver
age-size man. whose face bears evil
dence to the dissipating effects of
several months confinement in the
county Jail. He is about 50 years of
age and has wife and three children
in Moline. Dean went to work forW.
j. A. Myer, Hannibal, Mo-, shoe
manufacturer, last December, as
travelling salesman. 1t appears
he did not attempt any crooked bust
ness until he reached Moline, where he
made the base of his operations. His
plan, according to Mr.. Myer. was to
send in bogus orders TO the house, Sc
cure possession of the goods at the eX-
press Office by paying the charges and
sell them to different merchants. He
handled about 81, 500 worth of shoes
in this manner. He RENTED 5000 to
the house. Dean was arrested, and
the Adams Express company, which
transported the goods, was sued for
the deficit, which the agent, Emerson
Cook, was obliged 10 pay, because he
allowed Dean, instead of the ones to
whom they were billed. to take the
shoes from the office. Cook has now
brought suit for $1,000 damages

The Western League Closes the Sea-
son in Good Shape.
Ban B. johnson, president of the Western
league has addressed the following letter
to the press:
1.-The Western league season was the most
exciting in the history of the organization.
Since the Fourth of July five of the clubs
have held the lead. On the morning OF the
Fourth Columbus crowded indianapolis OUT
of first place, only to lose the place IN the
game of the afternoon. st: Paul, TOO, was
bidding strongly at that time for pennant
honors. Milwaukee, handicapped by poor
start, gained ground rapidly in the last two
so skiIlfully> handled crowded to the front
only to lose the high position to Indianapolis
in the games of Labor day. In the closing
two weeks of the championship race the MIL
waukee team ceased to be a factor.
EARLY in the season the Western league
managers did not regard indianapolis as
dangerous opponent. With his splendid pitch
ing staff Manager Allen made his team a
leading factor in the race from the tap OF the
gong to the very closing game of the season.
1.-The showing made by Kansas City fur
nished the big surprise OF the year. ms
club was largely made up of experiments
young and ambitious players plucked from
the ranks of the Western Association. The
wisdom of his selections Is simply attested
by the position his club occupies at the nead
of the column.
''The Omaha club was strung together in a
a hurry at the beginning of the season. When
the team was transfer sd to st. Joseph the
PLAYERS showed a lack of lSCcrest in their
work and decentralization followed. The club
has been a burden to the league and heavy
loser financially.
9"The Western league managers are salts
fed with the results of the season. Some
of the clubs have lost heavily, but every
obligation has been met and the league IS
free of Indebtedness.

President Western Base Ball League"

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 21.-The

tonight at its annual meeting. Among
those present were President c. C. Maj

The name of the Little Rock club was
changed to the Arkansas Jockey club.
The application of Arthur Duffey for
reinstatement was referred back to the
Latonia judges.
The following officers were elected.

Louis; treasurer, o. L. Bradley, Lex
ington, KY; secretary, Ed c. Hopper.
COvington, KY; auditing committee.
Schultz, Reese and Fowler; committee
on rules, Murphy, Tarlton and Hopper.
There were more changes in the by
laws and rules than at any meeting in
the history of the turf congress. 1t was
expected by many in the hotel lobby
that the congress would reconsider
It's former action and permit foreign
books on the tracks hereafter. But the
most radical action against foreign
books was taken by the prohibitory
bylaw being incorporated into the
constitution. And now there can be
no action taken on this question at
special meetings, none except at an
nual meetings, and the next annual
meeting will be in Chicago, the third
Wednesday in September 1899. AS it
requires twO-thirds vote at any an
nual meeting to change, the constitu-
tlon II is believed that there will never
De any more foreign books at the track
Other changes include notice of ten
days, with the object named in the
call, for special meeting; for members
OF the committee on appeals and on
license to serve three years, one mem
Der or each to be elected annually; that
with consent of officials rendering de-
cision, appeal can be taken after five
days limit; that owners include part
owners, but not trainers with contin-
gent interest in winnings; affixine
~eavy penalties for entries not in the
name of the owners; compelling secre-
tarles of clubs to collect all jockey
ices preceding mounts, and to collect
declarations as well as entrance fees
ruling off all horses Of any owner hav-
ing fraud in one of his entries; when
one or more horses owned by the same
party or having the same trainer are
entered they must be coupled in the
betting.
Other minor changes will cause Sec
rotary Hopper to issue a new book
with the constitution, bylaws, racing
rules, regulations and betting rules.
