Louisville, june g. News Of a
5000 bank robbery in this city
leaked out late: this afternoon. II
occurred yesterday
The robbery was worked on the
German Insurance Bank, on Mar
ket street, near Second. by a neat
game.
Just before the hour for closing
the banks, which is ? O'Clock, the
German Insurance Bank was rung
zap by telephone, and call was
made for MIR. Edmund Rapp, the
assistant cashier, who answered.
"Hello, is that Mr.. Rapp?" was
asked
Yes, I was the reply.
This is Edmunds, Citizens Ma
tional. Can you let us have $1,000
in currency? See if you have it in
$40, SOS and S50s. ="
Mr.. Rapp said he would look. A
moment later he answered "all
right" that he could do it.
1sI'll send two men around right
away for the money" said the
voice at the telephone, at the same
time thanking Mr.. Rapp for the ac-
.commodation.
Shortly after two well dressed
young men appeared at the bank
with a check for $4,000 signed
"William Edmunds, Cashier Citi-
zens' National.
The money was counted out to the
young, men who were profuse In
their thanks as they accepted it.
Nothing more was thought about
the transaction until the check |
reached the clearinghouse at /
O'Clock to-day. There the forgery |
was discovered.
Mr.. Edmunds pointed out to the
astonished officials of the German
Insurance Bank that he signed his
name always '.TYm. B. Edmunds,"
and never wrote out his given name
.s'William, y as it appeared in the
forged check.
The matter was then reported to
the detectives.

FARCICAL WAR.
Tie Old War Veterans Look Upon
1t and Laugh In Their
Sleeves.

If any proof of the farcical nature
of the Spanish war is needed, 1T cal
be found in the latest official state
ment of deaths in military service
occurring since the beginning o
hostilities. The record is prepared
by Adjutant General Corbin, and
represents a death-roll from ali
causes, from canned beef to Mauser
bullets.
In Cuba-1, 399.
At Honolulu-45.
In Porto Rico--2ST.
In the Philippines-606.
In the United States-3,872,
Total deaths-6, 209.
The most brilliant achievement
of the war is General Lawton S
great work. in the Philippines.
The expedition marched f20 miles
in twenty days, was in the thick OF
twenty battles, captured twenty
eight towns, destroyed 100000
bushels of rice, and lost six men
killed and thirty-one wounded. A
constitutional promenade of six
miles day; twenty-five battles
fought with six killed, and $780,
900 bushels of rice captured, con-

THE CUBAN WEED.
rluch of the Crop Being Harvested
and Cured.

There are 100000 acres of tobacco
lands, it is estimated, suitable for
the grades of tobacco now under
cultivation in one portion or another
in Cuba The larger part of these
are in Havana and Pinar del Rio
Provinces. Many of these lands
are owned by American tobacco
houses. One of these houses raised
3,O00,00O plants on its plantation in
Havana Province this year, and il
has $50 men engaged in working
the crop. The tobacco crop in the
Vuelta Abajo district, which pre-
duces the finest tobacco in the
world, is being harvested and cured
at present. This variety of tobacco,
and the Havana tobaccos, which
resemble it most closely, require a
considerable time to ripen after
they have been cured. The present
crop will not be ready to be worked
into cigars before next October.

President Mckinley $ latest civil

Water Filters.

Persons who rely upon domestic
filters to purify water for household
use will be interested to learn that,
on the authority of the state board of
health of Maryland, such filters may
steadily lose efficiency until they be-
come frst-rate culture beds for bac-
terra, says the Sanitarian. An exam
pie cited is that in the case of man
in Baltimore who sends the whole wa
ter supply of his house through a
large filter and subsequently puts his
drinking water through one of the
small domestic filters common in the
market. A test showed that on day
when the city taps were running $40
bacteria to the cubic centimeter the
large filter was delivering 5000 bac-
terra in the same quantity of water.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid Increase
Of Heart Troubles.
30 Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
The Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
element and worry of American business
life, it is more often the result of weak
stomaehs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred Of heart trou-
BILE is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves
the sympathetic and pneumogastric.
IN another way also the heart Is effect.
ed by the form Of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from hall
digested food. There is a feeling OF On.
preston and heaviness In the chest
caused by pressure Of the distended ston1.
aeh on the heart and lungs interferine
with their-aotion; hence arises palpita.
tion and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons tha hiood
making II thin and watery, which irri.
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion and tc
insure the prompt assimilation of food
This can be done by the regnIaT w. ,,ss
after meals Of some safe, pleasant and ef.
fective digestive preparation, like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets which may be found IN
most drug stores and which contain val.
cable, harmless digestive elements In q
pleasant convenient form.
IT Is safe TO say that the regular, per-
sistent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablefs
ct meal time will cure any form OF stom.
aoh trouble except cancer Of the stomach
