ACTRESS IN A SCANDAL.
Minnie Seligman Cuttings Name Fig
ures in a Sensational Story.

st. Louis, Nov 24-An evening paper
prints a sensational story concerning
the affairs of Robert Cutting, the well
known New Yorker, and his wife, Min
ME Seligman, the leading lady at the
Imperial theater, this city The article
states that Cutting employed detectives
to shadow his wife and that she and
Richard Cole, son of ex-Mayor Cole Of
st. Louis. were seen together frequently
at unseemly hours.
One night during one Of Cuttings re-
cent visits to St. Louis, the story con-
ftnues, Cutting and Cole had a dispute
severe beating. The story relates that
Cutting was prevented by witnesses
from infiicting further injuries on the
man, whom, it is said, Miss Seligman
had gone there to meet The ARRAY oc-
CURED in a private dining room and
Cutting Is quoted as saying, addressing
his wife rather than Cole: f'I'u teach
you to come here and meet your lover;
III fix the lover who comes here to meet
you when am with youI'
It was toward midnight, and Cutting
had gone there with his wife. Cole, the
story says, had been in the room and
side and went in. She was followed by
Cutting. Cutting, it is said, brandished
a knife as he made the EXPLANATIONS at
tributed to him
Miss SeIigman has denied the stories
connecting her with Cole. except in the
most proper manner. She admitted be-
ing out with him, but said she was new
er with him alone. He has been a reg
ular attendant at the theater and has
been seen in her company. Anent the
story today the theater management
would not allow her to be seen, saying
that she was suffering from nervous
prostration. Her lawyers also forbade
her to talk.
Miss Seligman admitted today that
she was followed, but said she thought
It was Tor the purpose of robbery.

SHORT TALK WITH
 ADMIRAL MILLER.

 Worth Taking,

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, who hoisted the flag over the Hawaiian islands, and proclaimed them part of the United States, left this city after days stay, for Springfield O.. his boyhood home. Admiral Miller will re- tire from the service in the navy Nov 2@. Before leaving, Admiral Miller said i:
 Il believe the Pacific station to be second in importance, if not the most important naval station we have. I think so not because I have commanded our fleets ill those waters so many years, but because the rapid growth of the west coast cites indicates that large population will eventually reside there am therefore greatly gratifed that the government has seen fit to send two such magnificent battleships as the Ore gon and th4 Iowa to the Pacific station. j"
 Speaking of his prospective retirement Admiral Miller said:

am well able to fulfill my duties, but 1 mnst give way to younger men I have had my innings, and must give others a chance. ,
 With regard to the lessons gained by the late war he said:
 sFrst and foremost, I think the ne- .cessity for the Nicaraguan canal is the thing of prime importance 10 our navy. A country which has such vast coast line on two oceans needs a route by which warships can be transferred from ocean to ocean without incurring the necessity of circumnayigating a eonti- nent. 1 think the Nicaraguan canal will be built in eight years. It is the only practical passage.
 "The chief difficulty to be surmounted i'll Nicaragua is the establishment of a port at Greytown. The shifting sands whereabouts render navigation difficult and considerable expense would be in- cured i'll fixing the harbor up.
 "Another necessity shown by the war is that of having large number of first class battleships, capable of sailing IS miles an hour. We must have them, and think we will have them. We want more ships like the recently launched Illinois.
 "With regard to Hawaii, it was espe- cially pleasant for me to close long service by presenting my country with a large and fertile territory. Ever since my first visit to Hawaii, in 1S55 I have been convinced that the islands should belong to us. I have visited Honolulu many times and have always been ac- corded royal welcome thcre, It is nov a thoroughly American city and we did right ill taking it in. U

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rap i'd Increase Of Heart
 Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed But Look For the
 C,usn.

Heart tronbles, at least among Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of Ameri. can business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 Real, organic heart diseaseis incur able; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between beart trouble and poor diges ion 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 ot poor diges- tion, which causes gas and fermenta- tion from half digested food; there is feeling of oppression and heavi- ness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises paipitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood, makes it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the di. gestion ana to insure the prompt as similation of food.
 This can best be done by the regu- l lar use after meals, of some safe. pleasant and effective digestive prep aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab. let's, which may be found T most drug stores and which contain yalu- able, harmless digestive clements in q pleasant, convenient form.
 It 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. eer of the stomach.
 Full sized package Of the tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little book on stomach troubes mailed free. Address Stuart Co. Marshall, Mich.

FIGHTING OF INDIANS.

General Bacon Says They Are Just as
 Treacherous Today as Ever.
 Chicago, Nov. 4 4-"As an abstract proposition the Indians want no more fighting They have had enough to last for some time in the Bear Lake cam paign just over. However, the Indian character is such that one may never tell when he will take up his arms and wage desultory warfare against local communities.
 This was the answer General John NJ Bacon, the veteran Indian fighter, who commanded the United States troops in the recent Indian outbreak in Minne- sota, gave to question as to the present feeling of the red mea. General Bacon, who is temporarily in command of the department of the lakes and the depart ment of the northwest with headquar- ters at St. Paul, is in Chicago on official business.
 q want to say one word, continued General Bacon, "about the socalied Ire. cruit' Out of the r mon who were with me in the battle of October s were enlisted during the middle of last sum. mer, Lut their conduct was admirable. It is no tea affair to fight the Indian to- day any more than it was in the old days of Indian warfare. The warpaint- ed Indian of today is the sine crnel and treacherous foe Of the plail.s. of years ago. He is not i'll battle to be killed such an idea is unpleasant to him. lie is in it to kill the other fellow in any way he can. Had II not Teen for that engagement coming at the time it did and resulting as it cid, the Indians oi other tribes would undoubtedly have joined with tho rebellious ones and formed force which 1t would have cost great loss of life to suppress Those Indians mad been accommodating arms and ammunition for long time They were just aching for a fight. Theil brother red men were in sympathy witt them, and Lad the battle not gone oul way the Winnebagoes, Red Lake, Cast Lake and other tribes would have reia. forced the Bears and formed most for midable and dangerous foe.
