THEY RIDICULE 1T.
Many People Hidicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and stomach Troubles.
RidicuIe. However, Is Not Argument,
and Facts Are Stubborn Things.

and Facts Are Stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt TO look with suspicion on any REM
edy claiming to be a radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made Of a preparation so reliable and uni
versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Now, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines. for
the reason that they are not secret pat
ent medicine. no secret is made of their
ingredients, but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments
pure aseptic pepsin. the digestive acids
Golden Seal, bismuth. hydrastis. and nux
They are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but they cure
indigestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly before
it has time TO ferment, sour and cause the
mischief. This is the only secret OF their
success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely on the bowels.
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison. as it creates gas. acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart loss of
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 30 cents per package. Address +. a.

sw1NDLED OUT OF HIS BUNDLE.
Daniel Schmidt Delivered Goods to
Vacant House.


Daniel Schmidt, employed by Hecht &Co
reported to the police of the Second pre-
cinct last night that he had been swinded
out of bundle containing a hat valued at
S6.9S and tailor made suit valued at S29.9S
by an unknown colored woman, to whom
he delivered the goods at 124S Eleventh
Street northwest.
1t appears that the goods were to be de-
livered by Schmidt at the address given and
a collection in full made for them. Schmidt
presented himself at the house as directed
by his employers and was met at the door
by colored woman. who took the bundle
from him and placed it in a front room.
There was no light in the house and the
woman seemed indisposed to make one.
She escorted Schmidt upstairs and knocked
at a room door. Receiving no response,
she informed the man that the lady of the
house, who had purchased the goods. was
not at home. 1t was suggested to Schmidt
that he leave the goods, but he declined TO
do so and requested that they be returned
10 him.
When he had descended the stairs with
the woman a search of the room where the
goods had been placed was made. but could
not be found. The woman claimed to have
no knowlwedge Of them and Schmidt, real
izing that he had been swinded, reported
the matter to the police. Policeman Flath-
ers accompanied the man to the house
where the goods had been delivered only 10
find that the woman had departed. The
house had been vacant for a year. Signs
had been tackled on the front, but these
had been removed by the woman.
Enquiry at the home of DR.. Robert Farm
ham, the owner of the house who lives at
1l03 NJ Street northwest. developed that Il
colored woman had been given the keys
of the house on her representation that a
Mrs Miller wanted to look through the
house. The keys were returned last night
by the same woman. who stated that the
house did not suit the prospective tenant.

New York. March 3O.-James j. Corbett
and his wife had an argument at 125th
Street and Eighth Avenue shortly before
10 o'clock tonight and the yehemence of
their remarks attracted a crowd. Finally
Mrs. Corbett ran across the street to
Policeman Snyder and grabbed him about
the neck. Officer" she said. for Gods
sake please protect me from him. l de-
mand that you protect me- Snyder stood
undecided. Corbett followed his wife
slowly across the street. Keep quiet.
Vera" he said. DO you want 10 make
a holy show OF me?''
The policeman took his cue from Cor
bett and advised that the two get into a
cab and go away quietly. Mrs. Corbetr
wanted the policeman to come along and
protect her. but at last allowed her hus-
band to put her in the cab and step in
after her. Just drive around through
the park were Corbett's orders 10 the
driver. About four weeks ago the Cor
belts had similar scene at 124th Street

RIGHTS or WHITE MAN.
ReRuIations Governins Osaae Nation
Explained.

Oklahoma City. Okla. Nov. 20.
Agent W. J. Pollock has receiv-
ed SO many inquiries in regard to
rights of white men in the Usage
nation that he has prepared the
following circular in reply:
inquiries in large numbers
from all sections of the country
have recently been coming to-this
office as to the purchase or lease Of
farm lands, pasture lands, oil
lands, coal lands. and as to the
opportunities to prospect for oil,
coal and other minerals in the
Usage nation. Such inquiries
have become so numerous it is i'm
possible to respond thereto by in
diyidual letters, and this circular
has been prepared to answer all
such inquiries.
First-The Usage nation was
purchased by the Usage Indians
with their own tribal money; it is
held by the tribe in common; the
lands have not been allotted in sew
crafty, and there is no prospect of
their being allotted very soon.
"Second-There is, therefore.
land for sale in the Usage res
ervation. and the department al
Washington holds that an indi-
vidual Indian cannot make a valid
lease to Usage lands.
Third-The pasture land on
the reservation is leased by the de
partment at Washington in large
tracts to cattlemen, and is fully
occupied by them.
Fourth-This being an Indian
country. white PERSONS can only
be here as employees of the govern
ment. by government authority, OF
as employees or as servants of the
Indians. And this latter class, by
documentary evidence or otherwise
establish such an exemplary char
acter as to secure the Indian
agents approval as being a fit per-
son to reside in an Indian country,
and must also pay the Usage ma
tion a permit tax of $12 year to
reside on the reservation. If these
persons are considered intruders
and put off the reservation by the
Indian police, and if they return,
are liable, under the United States
statutes, to a penalty of $1,000.
Fifth-TEe oil fields on the
reservation were leased several
years ago for term of years to q
company from New York with the
approval of the department al
Washington.
