HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Troubles.
DO Not be Alarmed. but Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among Ameri-
cans. are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry OF American business life. Il is
more often the result Of weak stomachs.
Of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease Is incurable:
but not one case in a hundred 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 the
PneumOgastric.
In another way. also the heart is az
fected by that form OF poor oisesdon,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half dlgested food. there Is feeling OF
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure Of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs. interfering
with their ac,ion. hence arises palpita-
ton and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes IL thin and watery. which irri-
tates and wclkens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is 10 improve the digestion and
10 insure the prompt assimilation Of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals Of some safe. pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
be found an most drug stores ana which
contain valuable harmless digestive ele-
ments in pleasant convenient form.
II rs safe TO say that the regular. per-
sistent use Of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
al meal time Will cure any form OF siom-
ach trouble eNcoDt cancer OF the stom-
ach.
Full sized package Of the tablets sold
by druggists at I'd cents.

lines of human face. Fearing of spoil
ing the image by entering deeper, the

port has 1t that the portrait of the poet

pie is missing. The bit of wood show
ing this remarkable trio of portraits, put
there by nature, is two inches long and

If, now. instead of the face of Shakes

what more assurance could be asked of
natures testimony in favor of the cipher
theory? Confessedly the portrait said
to be that of Shakespeare lacks some
thing of a complete likeness. Let ii be
examined again-it may be the face of
Bacon, after all. If it is not, let the car
penter take off one little shaving from
the part. and probab Bacon will be
found behind Shakespeare.

The s.Tar and Gravel and Other Cases
Wiped OFF the Books.
Missoula, Feb. las was expected
Judge Brantly overruled the motion to
quash the indictment in the case of the
state of Montana VS.. +. G.. Higgins ct
al. This is the tar and gravel case,
which has held the attention of Mis-
soula people at intervals for the past
nine or ten months. The judge held
that he could not. upon the atfidavits of
the defendants attorneys, sustain the
motion, and ii was therefore over
ruled. When the case was called for
trial, the county attorney create 4
something of a sensation by moving to
dismiss the case. His statement was
heard by the judge and then an order
was made, Diminishing the case. That
disposes of the matter for all time, and
Is the last that will probably be heard
of the events that grew out of the
Chadwick Sparks affair.
County Attorney Duncan this after
noon said to II Standard reporter. The
situation in this case was this: There
were but two witnesses to the alleged
assault that we could ever find. 1t was
said that there was third witness. but
the sheriff could not find him. and the
only TWO that we had were Chadwick
and Sparks, who were the tarred men.
Sparks left the state some time ago,
and is now in Wisconsin, out of reach
of process of the court A few days
ago, Chadwick packed up and left
without saying anything to anybody,
and when we wanted him we could not
find him. l concluded that if he would
run away now, he would run away
again, IL the case was continued, and
therefore made the motion TO dismiss
the case.
Judge Brantly was equally fortunate
in getting rid of the other cases that
he expected to hear. There We're three
civil eases that had been docketed for
him. and the attorneys in each case
announced to-day that it had been set
tied, SO that Judge Brantly finds him
self with nothing 10 do at present. The
cases disposed of to-day IN this way
We're. Slahiye VS. Love and Sawhill VS..
the Masonic lodge. The Slahive-Love
case is one that has been fought hard
since Ii was filed and fully one-half of
the population of Plains is here to take
part in the trial of the case, either as
witnesses or principals. When il came
to a show down however. the defend
ant made the concession that was asked
for by the plaintiff, and the docket of
the Fourth district court will lose a
familiar paragraph.

THE kL0NDlkE CRAZE.
Insanity Reaches the High Water Mark
in Minnesota.

Missoula, Feb. 1.-C. L. Woodwork
returned to-day from business trip
to st. Paul In speaking of the eondi-
tons there, this afternoon, he said:
out here we have no idea of the ex-
tremes to which the Klondike fever
runs in the East. In the Northern Pa
cific offices | was able to hear hardly
anything else, and l was told that IN
st. Paul and Minneapolis il is almost
impossible to get yard men enough to
handle cars, as everybody who can is
planning to go to Alaska. If we have
thought that the excitement in Mon
tana is high. we have been mistaken.
1t is nothing compared to what it is
in the Mississippi states. On the train
to-day there We're 109 passengers bound
for the gold fields, and they told me
at st. Paul that this number will prob
baby be increased from now ON, as
there are so many inquiries received
all the time. One party, numbering -.
was on the train to-day that comes
from Chicago. Ii Is a stock company
and is taking into the mining districts
81 tons of machinery TO be used there.
In the lot is the machinery for a small
steamer and also for a sawmill. In the
party are steamboat captain. a ma
rine engineer, two ship carpenters.
some miners and representatives OF
various branches of labor The men
were accompanied by their wives and
had a special car. They have started
out Systematically and are not vision
airy in their plans. They seemed To be
sensible people. one of the men told
me that before they left Chicago they
had hundreds of applications for places
in the party from men who wanted To
come along and work their way.
All along the line of the Northern
Pacific east of here there is little or no
snow. In Dakota the cattle are graz
ing on the prairies. something that |
never saw before at this time of year
In ST. Paul there is no snow and the

GOT THE WRONG STEER
While the Firemen Ran Away,
the Fire Got a Good Start.
IT HAD A SWEET TOOTH
1t Consumed Nearly All of DIR. Moores
Candy and as for Mr.. LaCasses
Stock of Boots and Shoes 1t
Put Its Foot in 1t.

Missoula, Feb. Fire tonight par
on Higgins avenue owned by j. w.
Moore and occupied by Mr. Moore as
fruit and confectionery store and by
Napoleon LaCasse as Il shoe store and
a boot and shoe repair shop The fire
was discovered at o'clock and was
then bursting out of the front win
dows. The firemen were given wrong
direction and the hose team ran up
Higgins avenue as far as the Gibson
lot before the mistake was discovered.
BY this time the full half of the build
ing next to the Missoula Mercantile
company's large building was in flames.
The hose team turned and laid a line
of hose from the Higgins corner and
another from the First National bank
corner. The two streams soon subdued
the flames. but the fire smouldered in
the roof and was n sullen one To eX-
tinguish.
The building is badly damaged and
the stock of the LaCasse store is
ruined. The blaze started in the shoe
store. Mr.. LaCasSe and his brother
left the store only about half an hour
before the blaze was discovered. and
it is mystery how il could have OBJ
tanned such Roadway in so short a
time. Mr.. LaCasse said to a reporter
tonight that he left a light fire burn
ing in an air-tight stove, as was his
custom. 1t is supposed that the stove
must have exploded. Mr. LaCasse
places his loss at about $1,000. with in
surance of 81. 100. There is insurance
of $500 on the building. This will prob
ably not cover the loss. Part OF the
Moore stock was saved

NOTHING NEW.
superintendent Russell on the Overland
Train Service.


Train Service.
Missoula, Feb. 1.-Superintendent
Russell of the Northern Pacific said to-
day to a Standard reporter: There is,
as yet, nothing new as to the overland
train service. 1t is probable that it will
be decided definitely before the middle
of this month. At present it is simply
a matter of waiting to see how the
business holds up. If there is an in
crease, as is expected, in the west bound
passenger traffic, ii will be necessary
to make some change in the present
arrangement, as the trains are now
carrying all the passengers that can
be handled. The new service, if there
is one, will either be handled as it was
in 1891 and 1892. or else a new double
train service will be put on. That, as
| said before. will be determined by the
developments that are expected within
the next few weeks in regard to the
westbound passenger traffic. AS to the
local service, the business on the
branches that center here is at present
very satisfactory and the summer may
witness several radical changes. There
are many improvements that j would
like to see made that will be carried
into effect as soon as the business of the
branches and this division justify it.
AS TO the talked-of changes in divi-
sion terminals here and the absorption
of the Rocky Mountain division by 9TH
ers, there is nothing in it. There will be
no changes of that sort made
