PLUCKY WOMAN ROBBED
MRS. ALBERT SELLERS ENCOUNTERS
TWO HIGHWAYMEN.
She Is Knocked Down and Robbed of
Her Purse In Broad Daylight
Other Thefts.

A daring and brutal "hold-up" and rob-
berry was perpetrated yesterday afternoon
about $3.50 O'Clock. The victim was Mrs. Al
bert Sellers, who resides at No. 1124 Broad
way. Mrs. Sellers was attacked by two ne
groes while walking on Michigan street. be-
tween Alabama and New Jersey streets.
She was walking on the north side of the
street and was surprised by two young ne
groes, who sprang upon her from the mouth
Of the alley which is known as Hudson
street
Mrs. Sellers was either pushed or knocked
down, and as she attempted to regain her
feet one of the men snatched her pocket
book and both ran Mrs Sellers struggled
with the men when they first attacked her
and struck bravely with her umbrella. She
was terribly frightened, but did not lose
her wits, and reported the robbery at once,
Bike" Patrolmen HOltZ and Wallace were
sent to the scene of the robbery immediate
ly. Mrs Sellers was not seriously injured
by the encounter and proceeded homeward.
She described the men as being rather light
in complexion, although she is sure they
were negroes. She says they wore soft hats
and overcoats. Her pocketbook contained
$l.75, two door keys and some calling
cards. A woman living on Hudson
street, few blocks north of where. Mrs.
Sellers was held up claimed to have seen
two young colored men running north short
ly after the robbery. Yesterday evening
Detective Thornton arrested three negroes
who will be held until this daring daylight
"hold-up' has been investigated. The men
were found in the rear of Tomlinson Hall.
They are Jesse Baker William Wilson and
John Green The police claim Baker has
spent most of his time In the last ten years
in prison. Wilson is an ex-convict, they
say, and it is claimed that Green has just
finished his second term.
Early yesterday morning burglars entered
the Aurora store on West Washington
street and carried off about SIS worth of to-
bacco. The thieves climbed into the store
through a transonI in the rear.
The home of Harry Hedges, No. 1926 Ash
street, was visited by burglars Wednesday
night A scarf pin and small amount of
money were carried off.

THINK THEY HAVE HIM
THE GAY AND FESTIVE KAvANAGH
SUPPOSED TO BE LOCATED.
How He "Did" PeOpIe-OmciaI Exam
inatiOn of Krag-ReynOlds Az
fairs Postponed.

It is claimed that James p. Kavanagh.
the Indianapolis tobacco dealer who as
signed month ago with $4,000 of liabilities
and assets hardly in excess of $500, has been
located. 1t is said by attorneys representing
the creditors of Kavanagh that since leav-
ing here he has visited Toronto, Canada,
and has been seen in the cities of Buffalo
and Rochester, N. Y. 1.-THE creditors know
where to get Kavanagh when they want
him." said the representative of one Eastern
firm which holds claim against the to-
bacco dealer. 1t is now said that Kavanagh
carried life insurance aggregating $4,000.
He carried the insurance on his own life
payable to his estate He had insurance, it
is said, in the John Hancock Life Insur
ance Company amounting to SIS ,000 1t is
claimed, however, that the premiums on
large part Of the insurance held by Kav-
anagh are unpaid. There was an echo of
the Kavanagh failure in Magistrate Lock-
mans court yesterday afternoon. Thomas
j. Kavanagh, a relative of the insolvent to-
bacco merchant, sued Hornstein Bros, to-
bacco dealers of this city, on an account.
The plaintiff claimed that the defendants
became indebted to James P. Kavanagh and
that the latter transferred the account to
the plaintiff last December. Plaintiff was in
the employ of the nsolvent aealer and the
money due him was for wages The court
took the question under adViSement.

DEMAND CERTIFICATES.
Patrons of Dairymen Calling on the
City Board of Health.

A few days ago the Journal published in
formation of the efforts the Board of
Health is making to have physicians and
the managers of private institutions help
in the enforcement of measures to prevent
a spread Of consumption from milk affect
ed with tuberculosis. In the article it was
stated that 10 per cent. of the cows around
Indianapolis are affected. All patrons of
the dairymen were urged to refuse to buy
milk unless the dealers presented health
certificates from the board The publica-
ton of the facts has caused great deal of
comment. DR.. E. d. Clark, secretary of
the board, said yesterday that scores of
prominent men were calling to inquire if
the dairymen from whom they buy have
certificates. The patrons seem unwilling to
take the statement of their dealers The
public sentiment that is being aroused
makes it unpleasant for dairymen whose
cattle have not been tested, and at their re-
quest the board has begun issuing prelimi-
applied to have examinations made and
health certificates issued. Each dairy will
be inspected as rapidly as possible. DR..
Clark said it would be three or four weeks
before the board could make the rounds.
About twenty-five cows have been con-
demned and ordered killed by the board. In
some cases it has been discovered that the
dairymen were trying to sell the diseased
kline Warning has been given the cattle
dealers at the stock yards The meat of
the tubercular cattle is as unwholeSome as
the milk.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, simple, but Safe, EmectuaI
Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloating
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings, a forma-
ton of gases, causing pressure on the heart
and lungs and difficult breathing, headache.
tickle appetite, nervousness and a general
played-out. languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and, If the interior of the
stomach could be seen. it would show
Shiny, infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily. thoroughly
digested before it has time to fernent and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do, and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment is to use, after each
meal, tablet composed of Diastase, Asep-
tic Pepsin, little Nux. Golden Seal and
fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores, under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent
medicine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regu-
lar use after meals.
Mr. j. N. Booher. of 27iO Dearborn street.
Chicago, ILL.,, writes "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from neglected cold in
the head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes infianled, and the poi
sonous discharge therefrom, passing back
ward into the throat, reaches the stomach
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for me for

ate words to express my good feeling.

convenient remedy, for any form of indi-

The big Schenectady passenger locomo-
tive which the Pennsylvania Company
has been testing, and which, at the begin
ming, die not make the record expected is
now the record breaker on the Panhandle
lines. and is to be put in service between
Pittsburg and Columbus In the last week
this engine has broken all records prev
iously made on the Pennsylvania lines. This
engine, with Engineer Keck at the throttle,
hauled PANHANDLE train No. 5, made up of
eight heavy cars, fifty-fiye miles in fifty
SIX minutes between Columbus and Xenia
and made three dead stops and one slow-up
for crossings, and was delayed four min
utes at London. Deducting the nine min
utes lost in stops and slow orders the ac-
tual running time for the fifty-tiye miles
was forty-Seven minutes, which is equal
to any record ever made by the Empire
State express for similar distance, al
though the latter train was composed OF
only four cars when it made its best time
The reason that the engine did not do bet
ter between Columbus and Indianapolis it
is stated, Is that it is too heavy for
gravel ballasted road, and that the engi-
neers did not care to test it's speed.

Many complaints are made to the Board
of Public Works on account of the injury
to asphalt pavements by coal oil and other
oils being dropped on them. The greatest
complaint is against the oil companies
which deliver oil in large tank
wagons. In drawing off the oil
some of it's frequently drips from
the valves L. A. Montgomery, of the
board, has prepared an ordinance on this
subject, which will be introduced in Council
by Mr.. Little. 1t requires all oil dealers to
place drip-pans beneath the valves to catch
waste oil. Those neglecting this will be
subject to a fine of not less than $40 nor
more than $50.
