PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion Q fFood

Every living thing. plant or ani- nal, contains within itself the germs of certain decay and death.
 In the human body these germs of disease and death called [ealled by scientists Ptomaines] are usually the result of imperfect digestion of food; the result of indigestion or dyspep- sia.
 The stomach, from abuse, weak ness, does not promptly and thor oue hly digest the food The result is a heavy, sodden mass which fer ments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak, and lacking in red corpuscles; paisoninG the hrain cansing head aches and pain in the eyes.
 Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing palpitation and finally bring ing on disease of this important organ.
 Poor digestion poigons the kidneys causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
 And this is so because every organ every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and Ieue0 dAs uuu N edh QIS6SttOn SHOW 5 itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy compleXi9H.
 The great English scientist, Huxley, said the best start in Iile is a sound stomach Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids Tactic and hydrochloricl aud peptogenic products; the most sen sible remedy in allcases 0findiges ton, l is to take after each meal one or two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, be. cause they supply in pleasant, harmless form all the clements that weak stOmachs lack.
 The regular Use of Stuart's Dys. pepsia Tablets will cure every form stomach trouble except cancer of tht stomach.
 They increase flesh, insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion. because all these result only from wholesome food well digested.
 Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents, fuA sized package by mail by enclosing price to Stuart Co, Marshall. Mich but ask your druggist first.

SEVEN MASKED
 TRAIN ROBBERS. HOLD UP A LITTLE ROCK AND WICHITA EXPRESS
 TRAIN. Passengers Unmolested.---Th Ex- press Car Was Detached and Run to Convenient
 Place.

Kansas City, September 24.-Seven masked men held up the west bound Missouri Pacific passenger train known as the Wichita and Little Rock express at the point of woods between Leeds and Dawson, seven miles from Kansas City, at $40 o'clock last night.
 To prevent Interference they first smashed the telegraph instruments at the Belt Line station at the junc- tion of the Belt Line and Frisco near the scene of the hold-up, ,and marched the operator before them to point half mile east. While two men covered his eyes the others Jagged the train as it appeared and quickly covered Engineer Sloeum and Fire man Weston and compelled them to dismount and detaehing the engine and Pacific express car ran them down the track mile and a half toward nawson,
 The passeng CTS were unmolested, but porter who attempted to in- terfere was quickly sent to cover by shot direc ted by one of the road men. At desolatespot on the road the baggage car was quickly broken into and great quantities of dyna- mite placed upon the through safe and the local safe placed on top of it. So much explosive was used that the car was literally blown to pieces and the safes blown open and tossed by the force of the explosion away to one side of the track.
 That the robbers themselves were not blown to atoms seems strange so terrific was the blast. The eX- press officials examined their one re- maining strong box this morning They absolutely refused to make any statement of their loss. saying sim ply that it was "small"
 Flying debris from the shattered express ear carried down telegraph wires along the Frisco track which parallels the Missouri Pacific at the point of the robbery and a complete stoppage of telegraphic comm nic J. tion begun on the belt line. 1t was sometime before the news Cf the rob bery became known and still longer before ;t wreeking crew could be got ten.
 Much excitement prevailed among the passengers during the long wait of the detached ears, though but little firing was indulged in by the robbers The robbery was undoubt- edly one of the boldest that has ever been committed in the locality so noted for hold-uDs.

A CHAT WITH MIR. ADDICKs.

As the Republican sweep in Kent and
Sussex must be and will be credited to
J. Edward Addicks, as the head and
front Of the Union Republican party, his
views are important and interesting.
Here is an authorized statement:-
'The result in Delaware must be
credited to the men who have loyalty
and ably supported what is now called
the Union Republican party. The name
stands only for an organization of pro.
glessive men who are and have always
been faithful supporters Of the Republi-
can party. In common with each and
every one of these men, l am highly
gratitied with the Republican victory.
"lf the official returns prove that the
Republicans in the next Legislature can
pass measures over the veto of our
Democratic Governor new era in Della
ware legislation will be established,
Laws will be enacted to properly in.
crease the revenues of the Common
wealth, and little Delaware will assert
her right to lead the procession of Pro-
gression to Prosperity.
THAT the election was generally peace
ful and honest throughout the State was
undoubtedly due to the enterprise and
courage OF The Sun. Publicity robbed
the manipulators of their daring and
thus prevented fraud.
II consider this a remarkable fight
and splendid victory"

can majority, 70.
John Satterfeld Rep. will probably
be elected Representative over Cecil q.
Fulton (Dem. by above majority. Hof-
fecker will poll about 10 votes above Re-
publican majority, while Handy will
probably run behind his ticket over 20.
Many strong gold Democrats in this dis.
trict refuse to vote Handy.
For Sheriff, John B. Wharton Rep. J,
will run 20 ahead of his ticket in this
district. Democrats have declared for
him as against John d. Hawkins man,
Emory and owing also to Wharton's great
popularity.
Robert s. Downes (Rep. for Clerk OF
the Peace will probably run above
ticket owing to sympathy for him over
unjust attack Of Downes by Senator
kenney.
All Republicans will be elected in this
district, the rest running 70 majority.
nr. L. A. H. Bishop Dem. for State
Auditor, may run 10 behind Democratic

TewNs-Camden, Wyoming, Woodside.
Total vote, 6S4; probable vote, 676;
probable Democratic vote, 30S; probable
Republican vote, 1868; probable Republi-
can majority, GO.
Handy Will run 20 behind Democratic
vote of 30S, owing to unfavorableness of
Kenney and Handy on their speech tour
through this district. Gold Democrats
are against Handy in this district.
Hoffecker will probably get 10 Of the
votes which Handy loses.
Jabez Jenkins Rep. will probably
run 10 above Republican majority of so,
as he is popular man at home. j. L.
Fuke Dem. will hardly poll full
Democratic vote. Robert S. Downs.
rep. J, for Clerk of the Peace, will run
25 ahead OF his ticket mere. 1t seems as
though the entire south OF the county
sympathize with him, because of Sena-
tor Kenney's unjust attack. William
Virden, Democratic opponent of Downs,
will not poll full Democratic vote. The
fight of Wharton (Rep.) and Emory
dem. for Sheriff is interesting, and
Emory expects in this district to cut
Wharton's majority down. Dr. Ball and
J. A. Lingo will poll strong vote here.
Other minor offices are Republican.
