INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Per manently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets
A New Discovery. But Not Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwe1 relates an interesting &C
count of what he considers remarkable
cure Of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: 'The patient was a man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate SEEM
ed to sour and create gases in the stom-
ach; he had pains like rheumatism in the
back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness
and distress after eating, poor appetite and
loss of flesh: the heart became affected,
causing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night
Il gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
experiment I finally bought a ffty-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
drug store and gave them to him. AL
most immediate relief was given and after
he had used four boxes he was to all APP
pearances, fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has gain
ed between 10 and u pounds in weight of
solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores, yet I
consider them a most valuable addition to
any physicians line of remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given
to children or invalids or in any condition
of the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal
Without any question they are the SAT-
est, most effective cure for indigestion,
biliousness, constipation and all derange-
ments of the stomach, however slight or
severe
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the f. A. Stuart Co., of Marshall, Mich,
and are sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.

free. Address F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall,

his school, in that the Eagle related that
Mr.. Faulman, in addition to taking GER

STILL AFTER CLYDE
Report of His Death at the
Hands of an officer
is LATER C0NTRADICTED
Opinion at the Scene of the
Killing Is Divided.

The report that reached this city yester-
day to the effect that Clyde MattoX had
been killed by the sheriff of Kay county,
while he was resisting arrest, created A
great deal of comment Ola the streets,
owing to his previous record Of crime in
Ihis city.
Monday evening Mattox killed Lincoln
Swinney. a prominent Usage ranchman,
while the two were quarreNng in sa-
loon at Ponca City. Threats Of lynching
were made by the irate citizens of Ponca
City and Mattox hid out Immediately
after the arrest. A sheriff hurriedly Sc
cured a small posse and started in pur-
suit of Mattox, and it Is thought that
someone will have to die before his cap
ture is effected. Several different reports
have reached this city, but the latest re
ceived by the Eagle is the following
telegram sent from Ponca City late last
night:
clyde Mattox, who killed Lincoln
Bwinney, a rancher, last night, is hid
ing tonight near the Kaw reservation,
eighteen miles from here. Officers have
been in pursuit of Mattox all day, and at
one time were near enough to exchange
thots with the young desperate, but Mat
tox eluded them and escaped in the gath
ering darkness. It was reported this
morning that Mattox had been killed by
the sheriff Of Kay county, but the rumor
seems TO have been unfounded.
Mrs. S. II. Hatch, mother Of Clyde
Mattox, and who has interceded with two
presidents to save her son from punish
ment for his crimes, drove into town to
learn the particulars of this the fifth
killing in which her son has been impl-
Gated. Later she said:
From all have been able to learn I
think my boy was justified in killing the
man. OF course it crushed me, and
must ask Gods help to bear me up. But
I think my son did it in self-defense'
Public sentiment is divided, but there
are many who think that Mattox was
sufficiently provoked by Swinney, the
man whom he killed. Swinney was count
ed a desperate character"
