A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are the best and most effecutal cure for
every form of indigestion.
They are in the tablet form which retains
their good qualities indefinitely, while liquid
preparations become stale and useless with
age.
They are convenient, can be carried in the
pocket and taken when needed. They are
pleasant TO take.
After each meal dissolve one or two of
them in the mouth, and mingling with the
food, they constitute perfect digestive, alb
solutely safe for the most sensitive stomach
They digest the food before ii has time to
ferment thus preventing the formation OF
gas and keeping the blood pure and free
from the poisonous products OF fermented,
half-digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure OF
stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy; the successful
physician of to-day is the specialist, the
successful medicine is the medicine pre-
pared especially for one disease.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the COM
plexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
A whole package taken at one time would
rot hurt one, but would simply be waste
of good material.

State of Michigan alone have been cured OF
indigestion and dyspepsia by the use Of Stu

PAID A DEBT IN STAMPS
POSTMASTER WALLACE Il. DEAN, OF
KNIGHTsTOwN, ARRESTED.
A Violation of Federal Law for Post
masters to Do This-His
Explanation.

Wallace K. Deem, of Knightstown, paid
off q debt in postage stamps and as result
is in trouble with the government. He was
arrested yesterday morning and brought TO
this city by Deputy United States Marshal
Branham.
Deem is postmaster at Knightstown and is
editor of the Knightstown Banner. His ar
rest occasoDed surprise at his home and
among those who knew him IN this city
The arrest grows out of a violation OF the
postal laws. Being connected with the Post
Office Department. he had no right 10 use
stamps in paying his debt. The postal laws
make it an offense for any one connected
with postoffice 20 dispose of stamps in
any way except for cash.
Deem paid off a note for s152.25 held by
c. 3. CottrelI &c Sons Company, of Yves
terly. r. j. The Cottrells manufacture print
ing presses and Deem, it is said, had pur-
chased press for his newspaper office. He
owed a balance of S15225 on the purchase.
having given his note for this amount. He
wrote TO the holders Of the note asking II
they would take stamps in payment of the
debt and received satisfactory reply. The
obligation was at Gree liqudated in one and
two-cent stamps. a postofice inspector of
Rhode Island learned of the transaction and
communicated MS ln1Ormdtlon 10 inspector
Fletcher, who worked up the case.
Deem does not deny that he paid off the
note in stamps but says he did so because
he was short of money at the time. The
deputy marshal who arrested Deem said
it had been ascertained that the postmas-
ter's books were all straight and that he
was square in his accounts with the gov
eminent DEEMS preliminary hearing was
set down for 2:30 o'clock yesterday, but at
that hour he decided 10 waive examination
and go to the grand jury. l.. c. Morgan,
assistant cashier of the First National Bank
of Knightstown, came TO the city yesterday
afternoon and went on Deems bond, which
was fixed at $780, The bank officials told
Deputy Marshal Branham that 1t was un-
necessary for Deem to have resort to the
use Of stamps in paying off the note. They
said he might have secured the money at
the bank had he applied for it. The post
ofI1ce at knightstown is n $1,000 Office.
The federal laws provide a fine and i'm
priSonment for this character of offenses.
The offender may be fined not less than $50
nor more than $500 and may be sent to
prison for a term not to exceed one year.
Deem returned TO his home at Knightstown
yesterday evening.

THE COUNTY FRANCHISES.
Attorney Brown Thinks No More
Should BE Granted.

County Attorney Brown is opposed to al
lowing the electric railroads the use OF the
county highways and he is of the opinion
that the commissioners should grant no
more franchises. He thinks the railroad
companies should buy a private right of
way. They might take the money they
offer to pay the county for a franchise"
the attorney said, and invest IL in prf-
vate right of way, or IL might be donated
10 them by those land owners who desire TO
have an electric line near them. However,
i DO not take the view OF some others, who
contend that the county has no right TO sell
a right of way over a highway. / believe
me commissioners have the right to sell the
franchises and get as much as they can for
them If they are to be disposed Of The
commissioners are the trustees for the peo-
pie or the county, and | think II would be
good thing IL there was some way in which
the people could Indicate what they desire
the board 70 do about these matters"
