The LARGER HALE.

The Same in Rock Island as Elsewhere
The bigger half of worldly trouble,
The greater part of mankind's SUI
fering
Can safely be laid to the kidneys.
Kidneys filter the blood,
Keep the human system healthy.
But they can't do this when they re
sick.
Easy to tell sick kidneys.
Look to the back for the note of
warning.
Most backache pains are kidney ills.
Twitches, twinges, pains and aches
of bad back
Should be treated promptly.
Every days delay means future
trouble.
Urinary complications set in, dia-
betes, bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills are kidney sps-
cialtists.
Cure every form of kidney ills.
Proof of this in Rock Island testi-
mony.

kidneys. Gradually other symptoms

the cause of it. / consulted a physi-
elan, who treated me for three years,
but obtained little or no benefit. In

cure for kidney trouble but the bene-
fetal results were small. During the
summer of 1897 / suffered severely
with intense pain in the small of my
back, and in addition trouble existed
with the kidney secretions, particu-
larry so at night. Always on the look

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain FIesh. to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Diges-
tion Means, Make a Test of
Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
STA. People having it think that their
nerves are to blame, are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve med
icines and spring remedies; the real
seat OF mischief is lost sight of; the
stomach is the origin to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do Rot
have any pain whatever in the
stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness. Nsr-
vious dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular. in
others the kidneys are affected, in
others the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite, with
the accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.
A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as
follows: "A motive of pure graft
tude prompts me to write these few
lines regarding the new and valuable
medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
/ have been a sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years ;.have
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorab
result. They sometime gave tenn
porary relief until the effects of the
medicine wore off. 1 attributed this
to my sedentary habits, being a book
keeper with little physical exercise,
but / am glad to state that the tablets
have overcome all these obstacles, for
/ have gaiRed in flesh, sleep better,
and am better in every way. The
above is written not for noto-
riety, but is based on actual facts
Respectfully yours,
A W. SHARPER.
81 Prospect street, indianapolis, Ind.
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of
the stomach. They cure sour stom-
ach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite,
sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn.
constipation and headaches.

GIRLS HIS VICTIMS.
Crippled Ebenezer Drake Pleads
Guilty to a Heinous
Crime.
EETIoEs CHILDREN FROM HOME.

Takes Them Into the Suburbs and As
saults Them-Mothers Swear Out War
rants for the Dastard's Arrest, and He
Is Held to the Grand J1ry-Leven
Brought Back.
One of the most heinous and das-
tardly crimes that has come under the
jurisdiction of the police department
was unearthed last night in the arrest
OF Ebenezer Drake, crippled and re-
Pulsive appearing individual, who is
charged with ravishing Tillie Hoef-
fling and Pearl McQuaid, children II
years of age. The brute, intent on
repeating his offsnse, was seated on a
bench on the east side of Spencer
square, wbistling for the girls, whom
he was endeavoring to sntice away
from their homes in that neighbor-
hood. He was taken to headquarters
by Officer Mccarthy and locked up.
Today Drake pleaded guilty to two
charges of rape. The warrants were
sworn to before Magistrate Stafford by
the mothers of the girls, Mrs. Kate
Hoeff1ing and Mrs. Della McQuaid.
They were. present with the little vic
Tins when Drake. his head bowed in
shame, was brought up for Prelimin-
ary examination.
He offered no explanation in re-
Spouse to the contents Of the warrants,
simply admitting his guilt in both
cases.
Drake is SO wears of age, and has
been employed as harnessmaker at
Rock Island arsenal. His unseemly
actions in the presence of little girls
had been a source of complaint, and
he was given to understand he would
pay dearly for his conduct if he did
not desist, but instead of needing the
warning he grew holder, and on sew
eral occasions hired buggy and in
duced the children to go riding with
him. In this way il was that he sue
ceeded in getting the McQuaid and
Hoeffiing girls into the suburbs south
of the city and accomplishing his in
human designs. He assaulted Tillie
Hoeffiing Oct. l and Pearl McQuaid
Sept. 20.
The grand Jury, to which Drake
was held in SO, 600 bonds, is iAvesti-
eating the charges today. This will
probably delay its report until to-
morrow.

the point referred to. The tendency after
that was reluctantly downward Indications

September, after decline to 68M96S1ac,

the other day, and I doubt not but
that there will be extensive quartz
mines in Bolivia in the future. So far
the expense of bringing in machinery
and the difficulties Of development have
been so great that the people here have
not prospected for quartz lodges. In
fact, there has been little systematic
prospecting in Bolivia. The country
has not ben scratched, and the eXami-
nations made have been of the hit and

gotten cut without the aid of mach1n-

no fine gold is found l consider an evil

The syndicate has conc ession Ct seven
miles along the bed of the Tipuani river

river bed to q depth of forty feet and
to bed rock. The dredge was made at
Denver and was tested there. 1t was

in pieces, and it is now being taken
into the gold region on the backs Of
mules and Indians. The whole dredge
weighs eight tens, but no section of 1t
weighs more than 125 pounds, while
the average piece is not heavier than
seventy-hve pounds. The cost of get
ting the dredge from Denver to the
mine will be more than $4,000. 1t took
more than six months to get it here,

LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 4-Bolivia

produced more than $4,000, 900. 900 worth
of silver. She now stands third among
the silver producing countries, and, if

On the Chugalaguillo river, which runs
by the city not two miles from where
l am writing. This river has cut a
gulley several hundred feet deep in the
size of the plateau or basin in which
La Paz is situated, ana above the cut
q high wall Of gravel extends to what
Is known as the Alto, far above the
city. 1t is in this gravel that the gold
is found.
A score of Indians were at work dig
ging down the hill, carrying off the
gravel in wheelbarrows and dumping
IT into troughS or sluice boxes through
which water from the river was con-
Quoted. On the bottom of the troughs
were iron ladders or frames, so laid
that they would catch the heavier
parts Of gravel and gold as the water
carried the dirt into the river. There
was no quicksilver us5d, and the min
ers depended entirely on the weight of
the gold to catch the particles as they
went through: Shortly after I arrived
the water was turned partially off and
the gravel panned for gold. The pam
ming was done by three Indians, who
sat with their bare legs in the water
on the sides of the sluices and dipped
the gravel up into wooden bowls just
about as big as those which we use
Tor making bread or chopping hash.
These bowls are the gold washing pans
OF the Indians. They are called ba-
teas, and are to be found in all the
mining regions of Peru and Bolivia.
The miners dipped the bowls of gravel
