Will He a short One.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The next ses-
sion of the joint Canadian high commits
sion will be limited pretty closely 10 a
fortnight. Lord Herschel. the British

to sail for Europe on the 25th of jan
uary. He cannot delay longer in the
United States. for the rea son that he is
obliged to attend the opening of the
FsTis arbitration on the Venezuelan
boundary. There are indications that
after all, the commissioners regard the
prospect of reaching an agreement as
very much brighter than they did just
before the adjournment of the session
and the opinion Is now expressed in
well-informed circles that before Lord
Herschel returns a treaty will have
been completed settling all points in
dispute between the two countries, and
even making some slight progress to-
wards the attainments of reciprocity.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Dead Burglar Found In a House at
Quincy, Mass.

Quincy, Mass, Dec. 22.-The most Pc
culiar shooting affray which has ever
been brought to the attention of the po-
lice of this city occurred early to-day
at the winter home of John Shaw in
this city, when a robber who had plun-
dered the house lost his life. The whole
AFFAIR Is very mysterious. as the occu-
pants of the house declare that they
heard no shot fired and did not know
that their home had been entered until
the body of the man was found by a
servant. who was the first in the house
to arise this morning. The body vas
directly in front of the bay win low,
which was open. The dead man wore
a new suit, in the pocket of which a
gold watch. diamond pin and two pairs
of eyeglasses, belonging to members OF
the Shaw family. were found. A piece
of paper marked James Emerson,
Green street, Jamaica Plains," was also
found. The man was probably 35 years
of age. The police are working on the
theory that the robber was shot by
pal who was watching outside. and
who may have mistaken the robber for
the owner of the house just as his COM
panion came toward the window.

Or, WURTH'S OPINION.
or THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDICINE
A Remarkably Successfui Remedy for nysppp-
STA, indigestion and Stomach
Troubles.

DR.. Wurth i'll commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There Is
none which is certain to be so valuable
and far reaching in benefit as Stuarts
DYSPEPSIA Tablets. the new stomach
remedy: say far reaching. because peo-
pie little realize how important II sound
stomach and vigorous digestion is TO
every man. woman and child.
indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Brght's dis
ease, diabetes, nervous prostration, liver
troubles: why is this so? Simply be
cause every nerve. muscle and tissue in
our bodies is created and nourished from
the food we eat. If that food is, by
reason of Il weak stomach, compelled to
lie for hours, sour, fermenting mass of
half digested food, it poisons the blood
and nervous system, creates gas which
distends the stomach and bowels, caus-
ing pressure ON the heart. lungs and
other organs. and seriously impeding
their action"
He says further. the point to direct
attention to is not the nerve, nor heart,
nor lungs. nor kidneys, but stomach, the
first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy TO use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic,
but a remedy which will digest the food,
increase the flow of gastric juice, abb
sorb the gases, and Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will accomplish exactly this re-
suit in any case of stomach trouble, be-
cause these tablets are composed of the
digestive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden
Seal and bismuth, pleasant to taste, and
not being a patent medicine, can be
used by anyone with perfect safety.
believe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
cure any form of Indigestion and stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

sia Tablets are sold by druggists at 5O

What is the use of making n better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the

greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent.

be tried and the public will very quick.

the better one
