MEXlCANS REFUSE TO
SURRENDER A PRISONER
He Is Accused Of Having Murdered
an American Woman in Texas
Six Months Ago.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 22.-Leonardo Con
zales, a Mexican who is under indictment
IN Brewster County, Texas, for the muir
American woman living at Alexandria,
that county, IS still in jail at Ciudad Por-
flrio Diaz Mexico, awaiting eXtradition.
six months ago, and the murderer fed TO
Mexico, where he was arrested. Governor
Sayres at once made application to Gov
ernor Cardenas of the State of Cuchila,
Mexico, for the fugitive's eXtradition.
Governor Cardenas referred the matter
10 Judge Ahuarez of the Mexican Federal
District Court at Ciudad POrfirio DiaZ.
Advices were received here to-day that
Judge Ahuarez has advised Governor Car
denas not to grant the request of Gov
ernOr Sayres for the eXtraditiOn Of the
prisoner. the grounds for this remarkable
action being that Gonzales is a Mexican
citizen and that no sworn affidavit has
been made by a physician as to the i'm
mediate cause of the murdered womans 8
death. The evidence Of Gonzales
guilt Is Of a positive character and
such an affidavit as is now de-
sired by the Mexican authorities was
not deemed necessary by the Texas au-
thorities. The case will be appealed to
the State Department of Mexico The
law-abiding element Of the Rio Grande
border are very much aroused over the
prospect Of Gonzales escaping punishment
for his henous crime, and the result of
the case will have an important effect on
the perDetratiOn of crime and disorder
along the Mexican border.

TIE OgD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by Dieting Dangerous and Useless
 One.

We say the old way, but really it is very common one at present time and many dyspepties and physicians as well consider the first step to take in attempting to cure indigestion is to diet, either by selecting certain foods and rejecting others or to greatly di- minisb the quantity usually taken, in other words, the starvation plan IS by many supposed to be the first essen tial.
 The almost certain failure of the starvation cure for dyspepsia has been proven time and again, but still the moment dyspepsia makes it's appear anee 8 course of dieting is at once aa- yised.
 All this is radically wrong. It is foolish and unseientifc to recommend dieting CT starvation to man suffer- ing from dyspepsia because Indigestion Itself staryes every organ and every nerve and every fibre in the budy.
 What the dyspeptic wants is abund- ant nutri ton, which means plenty of good, wholesome, we'll cooked food and something to assist the weak stom- ach to digest it. This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are adapted and this if the method by which they cure thu worst cases of dyspepsia, in othe- words the patient eats plenty oa wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspeps sia Tablets digest 1t for him. In this way the system is nourished and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food wheth- CT the stomach works or not. One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
 Your druggist will tell you that Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest G~nedyfor stomach troubles and every trial makes one more friend for this excellent preparation. Sold at 50cts for full sized package at all drug stores.

A SAD DAY.

Ever since 1t became known that Mir. and Mrs. J E. Ritchie's listle son. Franklin Powell, was danger ously sick, large numbers of people have inquired almost hourly of his condition, thus showing that, though but a iit:le more than year old, the child had won the love of all who had seen him. What fine lit- tie fellow he was! The brightest face, the happiest smile, and one ot the most gpromising children it has ever been our good fortune to see, no wonder that he was so generally loved. But "of such is the kingdom of heaven," and He who sent the child to remind us of the purity of the land beyond the skies, wanted him, and little Franklin Powell has
 ntered into this kingdom without having to endure the temptations, the sins, the sorrows, the disap- pointments of earth. .'lt is well with the child, but our hearts ble d iD sy mpatby with the bereaved pa- rents to whom this earth is now a chilling wilderness of sorrow. We cannot comfort, but only weep with them. He who gave hath taken away, and He alone can heal the broken hearts. The last sad rites were performed at four o'clock this afternoon. and the body of little Franklin Powell Rltchie laid to rest until earth and sea shah giye up their sleeping millioHs.-Abilene, Tex Reporter, March 10.
