SHOT BY A DIVORCED WIFE
Chicago Man and His Second Wife
WnyIaid by His Former Partner
in JOY and sorrow.

CHICAGO, Nov. August Wischman a
well known saloon keeper, and his wife Rose
were shot and dangerously wounded earlyNto-
day by Mrs. Leona j. Lay, Wischman's
divorced wife
The shooting occurred at Thirty fourth
street and Cottage Grove avenue, as Wisch-
man and his wife were on their way to their
home. As they passed the corner their as
sailant stepped from the shadow of build
ing and fired two shots. One of the bullets
entered Wschmans left breast above the
heart and the other penetrated the right
breast of his wife. AS her two victims fell
the would-be murderess fed. but was cap
tured later by the police
Mr. and Mrs. Wischman were taken to
Mercy hospital, where it was found that
Wischman was fatally injured. Hopes for the
recovery of his wife are entertained. Mrs
Lay was taken to the police station by her
captors, where 1t is alleged she admitted the
shooting. She declares she is the former
wife of Wischman and that she was prompted
to the act by jealousy She said she mar
rled Wischman in Taylorvlle, Ill.
Wischman is 35 years old and married Rose
a week ago. She is 26 years of age. Five
years before the man and the woman who
shot him were divorced. 1t is said she was
jealous of him and before had attacked him
with knife because he was attentive to the
woman whom he married last week.
She wounded him in several places at that
time, it is said, but he disarmed her after
struggle. He refused to prosecute her.
Last night Mrs. Lay went to Wischman's
home, but finding the place dark stationed
herself at Thirty fourth street and Cot
tage Grove avenue, knowing that her in
tended victims would pass there on their way
home. She stood at the corner nearly two
hours before she was rewarded by seeing
Mr. and Mrs. Wischman approach in COM
pany with Dr. Dunwoody and his wife
Wischman was walking ahead with Dun
woody and as he reached the corner Mrs.
Lay rushed out and pressed the revolver
against his breast. Before a hand could be
raised to interfere the bullet penetrated his
body. Darling to her second victim, the
murderesS fired the second shot and then fled
DR.. Dunwoody turned his attention to his
wounded friends, while his wife screamed
for help.
Mrs. Lay made a feeble resistance when
overtaken by the police. who had been at
tracted by the shooting. She at first denied
having committed the crime, but finally
broke down and, the police state, confessed

Is of Little Benefit Unless II is Di-
Gested.
Nearly every one will admit that as a
nation we eat too much meat and too lit
tie OF vegetables and the grains.
For business men, Office men and clerks,
and in fact, every one engaged in sedentary
or indoor occupations, grains, milk and
vegetables are much more healthful.
Only men engaged in severe out door
manual labor can live on heavy meat diet
and continue in health.
As q general rule, meat once a day is
euficient for all classes of men, women and
children, and grains, fruit and vegetables
should constitute the bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious Foods
are difficult OF digestion, and it is of no use
to advise brain workers to eat largely of
grains and vegetables where the digestion is
too weak to assimilate them properly.
1t Is always best to get the best results
from our food that scme simple and harm
less digestive should be taken after meals
to assist the relaxed digestive organs and
several years experience have proven
Stuart'a Dyspepsia TabletJ 10 be a very
safe, pleasant and effective digestive and a
remedy which may be taken daily with the
best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be
called patent medicine, as they do not act
on the bowels nor any particular organ but
only on the food eaten. They supply what
weak stomachs lack, pepsin diastase and by
stimulating the gastric glands increase the
natural secretion of hydrochloris acid
People who make daily practice Of TAX
ing one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's after each meal are sure to have per-
feet digestion, which means perfect health
There is no danger of forming an Injurious
habit, as the tablets contain absolutely moth
ing but natural digestives; cocaine. NOR
phins aud similar drugs have no place in a
stomach medicine and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are certainly the best known and
most popular OF all stomach remedies,
Ask your druggist for tifty-cent package
of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and after a
weeks use note the improvement in health,
