4 Pheasant, simple, But safe ana
EgcctuaI Cure for II.

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing TO incurablc.
The usual symptoms are fun or Dloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
with sour or Watery risings, formation
Of gases causing a pressure on the heart
and lungs. and difficult breathing; mead
aches. tickle appetite, nervousness, and a
general played-out languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste In the
mouth. coated tongue, and II the interior
of the stomach could be seen 1t would
show q Shiny, inilamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found I'm a treatment which
causes the food to be readily thoroughly
digested before II has time 10 ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surface
of, the stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do. and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According TO Dr. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment Is 10 use after each
meal tablet, composed Of Diastase,
Aseptic. Pepsin, a little NuX. Golden
Seal. and fruit acids These tablets can
now be found at all drusstores under the
name OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
not being a patent medicine, can be used
with perfect safety and Assurance that
healthy appetite will follow their regular
use after meals.

the bodies OF Mrs. Villa Hickman and
Mrs. H. A. Hassall, both dead, were
found together. a bullet having ended the
life of each Mrs. Hassall had been NOR
bidly infatuated with Mrs. Hickman for
some months. Last night Mrs. Hassall
told Mrs. Hickman that she was going

Mrs. Hickman 10 spend the night with
hor. Mrs Hickman consented, and her
relatives. growing alarmed at her non
appearance to-day, visited Mrs HassalPs
and discovered the bodies. Mrs. Hassall
had killed Mrs Hickman and then her

STORY OF TRuBY's MODEL.
4 Beautiful Missouri Girl who Posed
10 Save II Homestead.

The model who posed for Ashley ID. VI.
Co0pers fine painting. "Trilby." now on
exhibition at No. west Broad street,
was the daughter Of "A one-time wealthy
farmer in Western Missouri, who met with
reyerses. and died. leaving his wife and
daughter without means and a mortgage
Of 5000 on the homestead. They were
women Of courage, and moved 10 Kansas
City and obtained employment in large
department store, their common purpose
being 10 save enough money 10 satisfy
the mortgage. As they came and went to
their work they began 10 attract the at
tention of all whom they met. the superb
mother slightly gray and dignihed, and
the daughter, whose beauty Of face and
form was such that she came to be known
as the Living Venus" by those who
knew nothing Of her. She was soon the
main topic of conversation by both sexes.
At this time a friend Of Mr.. CoOpers.
who knew he had been securing the cOun-
try for model for "Trilby," whose form
should have the most perfect proportions
possible, wrote to him that he had seen
on the streets Of Kansas City a girl Of
goddess-hke beauty. and that his ideal
would be realized If he could secure her
TO pose for him. Mr.. Cooper came at
once To Kansas City and after a great
deal of trouble, secured an interview with
the beautiful girl. He made known his
purpose in as delicate a way as possible.
She Indignantly refused his offer, but
Cooper was so impressed with her beauty
that he would not be cOntcnted with Il
refusal. lie argued with the mother, and
told her she could 50 with her daughter
and be with her all the time she posed.
He tried To show that she would not
sacrifice her maidenly modesty, and that
she should give art the benefit Of her
wonderful form. He told her that her
identity would be secret and that he
would pay her a price sufficient to raise
The mortgage.
The mother advised her TO accept. and
she yielded. They went to Mr.. COOpers
beautiful home. in San Jose, Cal, where
for four months she was the sole model
for the picture Cooper says he has paint
ed from scores of models both in this
country and in Europe. but he has never
seen her equal. Her physical proportions
were almost perfect. and he gives her
credit for inspiring him IN his work 70
such an extent as 10 enable him To sur
pass all his former efforts. When the
work was completed the mother and her
charming daughter returned TO their for
mer home. The daughter has since mar
ried. and is now the happy wife Of we'll
to-do Businessman In the West. "Tril-
by" is the only picture she ever posed for.

surgents in Samoa. on the contrary
Admiral Kautz has been advised that the
President supports him i'm all that he
has done, and is entirely satisfied with
his conduct. and the only injunction laid
upon the Admiral has been 90 avoid un-
necessary slaughter and boOdshed. This
injunction is not understood 10 In any
way restrain the officer from such milf
tdry and naval operations as in his opin-
ion are necessary 10 protect fully the
interests Of the United States, British,
and German residents In Samoa but II
IS understood that Admiral Kautz il
present for the purpose of carrying out
the treaty obligations of the tripartite
agreement, and not Of any one Power.
So far, no advices have come to either
the State or the Navy Department since
the publication OF the last press dis
patches. Hence, it is understood that
nothing Of Importance has happened to
warrant the sending of cablegrams by
Admiral Kautz.
MRS. STEVENSON on SAMOAN con-
DITIONS.
LONDON, May Robert Louis Steven
sons widow has written a letter 70 the
Westminster Gazette from Funchal, Ma
dcira. on the bombardment Of Samoan
villages by the English and American
warships. Mrs. Stevenson says:
president Mckinley allowed no firing
on Cuban towns, unless they gave active
cause of offence, and Commodore Watson
was ordered not to attack undefended
Spanish cities. Does the President keep
his humanity for civilized countries
alone?"
Mrs. Stevenson declares that the Samoan
villages are inhabited in time Of war
by non-combatants, who have TO choose
between the shell OF the warshlps and
taking 20 the BUSH" Under such con-
ditlons. she says. delicate women can
hardly exist while children die like flies.
SCENES OF TERROR.
Mrs. stevenson's letter concludes as fol-
lows:
"Chiof-Justice Chambers has been rep
resented as saying in letter 90 his
brother. L never was happier He must
be a person singularly devoid Of magma
ton If he never pictured TO himself the
scenes being enacted in those bombarded
villages; the exodus Of panic-stricken
people. rushing hither and thither; shells
bursting everywhere; the cries OF bed
ridden and helpless wounded people. burn
ing alive in their blazing houses; mangled
children. crawling on the sands, the sea
before them and the bush behind. And we
read that the woods also were shelled.

deeds that disgrace both England and
America?"

remain unsolved. The white people in
