ART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN.
CREASE or HEART TROUBLES.
10 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 > The
excitement and worry of American bus
mess life, it is more often the result of
weak stomachs, Of poor digestion.
Real organic diseases is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trou-
BILE is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
BILE and poor digestion is because 10th
organs are controlled by the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogas-
trio.
In another way, also the heart is
effected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is feeling
of oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the dlstenlad
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter-
fering with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weallens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation Of fCod.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may he
found at most drug stores and yhich
contain valuable, harmless digestive eie
ments in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time viii cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer Ct the
stomach.
Full sized packages of these tablets
sold by druggists at soc. Little book
on stomach troubles mailed free. Adj

Life A BURDEN TO HER
Mrs. James Shannon Makes an
Intellectual Attempt at Suicide.
HER MOTIVE A MYSTERY
Exact Gauss fer the Woman's Despond-
ency Is Not Known = Has Been
Trouble in tho Family-Is Now
Out OF Danger.

In fit of dependency Mrs. James
Shannon of sos North Arizona street
made an Intellectual attempt to commit
suicide yesterday morning by swallow
ing dose of morphine. The quantity
taken, teaspoonful, was not suffi-
Gent to produce death before the at
tendance of physician could be Sc
cured, and the unhappy woman's life
was saved
Just what the exact facts were which
led up to the melancholy frame of
mimi which prompted the desperate
act were, cannot be learned, for the
reasons that the members Of the family
were indisposed to have anything to
say, and SO carefully were the circum-
stances in connection with the matter
guarded, that very little was allowed
to escape.
1t is known that Mrs. Shannon had
been in an unhappy state Of mind for
some time. and that night before last
she procured bottle of morphine from
Newbro's drugstore. The fact was dis
covered by a brother of Mr.. Shannon,
who evidently suspected the woman's
purpose, for he made way with the
poison. She was determined. however,
and yesterday morning early she again
paid visit to the drugstore and pur-
chas ed another bottle of morphine.
Returning home, she swallowed tea
spoonful of the drug and lay down to
die.
The husband was away at work in
the Nevers Weat mine at the time, but
his brother was at the house. He dis
covered Mrs. Shannon had taken the
poison shortly after the act was COM
mitte1 b,,oh ho
hurried home, and a physician was
then hurriedly summoned, who sue
ceeded in preserving the woman's life.
About year and a half ago there
was trouble in the Shannon household,
which may have had something to do
with the attempt at suicide. At that
time Shannon's brother and father
were living with him and his wife.
There was some trouble. the true facts
in connection with which never came
out, but which was said to have been
about the father, and James Shannon
attempted to shoot the brother; at
least that was the story they gave
out, but the wife received in the breast
the bullet which was said to have been
intended for the brother. causing a
wound that came near resulting fatally
Tor her. Shannon was arrested, but
through the refusal Of the brother to
prosecute the case never came to trial.
Whether this trouble had anything
to do with the act of Mrs Shannon
yesterday is not known, but it is said
by friends Of the family that She has
never been quite the same since that
time and these friends think that
whatever the present trouble was that
she allowed herself to brood over it
till her fancied difficulties had an ex-
aggerated appearance in her eyes, and
brought on a suicidal mania. The lady
was reported last evening as entirely
out Of danger.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
House and Contents of the Alma Crystal
Company Burned.

House and Contents of tho Alma Crystal
Company Burned.
c. H. Catching came in yesterday
from the mines Of the Alma Crystal
Mining company on Fish Creek after
another supply of provisions, clothes
and other necessaries of life. The house
in which the men lived together with
lot of saWmill machinery were de-
stroyed by fire Monday morning. The
loss is placed at about $4,000. Mr..
Catching, jeff Thoroughman and an
other miner had left the house to go
to work in the drift from which they
had just begun to take out good paying
gravel. They had not been from the
cabin more than two hours. when their
attention was attracted by flames issu-
ing from the house not far distant. All
hands went to the scene, but the fire
had gained too much Roadway and in
short order the building was in ruins.
All the winters grub and the clothing
OF the men were burned as well as a
lot of machinery which 1t was intended
to place in position in sawmill under
construction. Mr.. Catching says that it
was with difficulty they saved the
stable and wagon. The loss is a severe
blow to the boys, who were just get
ting things in good shape for winter.
1t will cause setback for several
weeks. az it will be necessary TO build
another house In which to live. Mr.
Catching will purchase the necessary
supplies Tomorrow and start for the
digginss Monday. The boys have many
friends in this city who will be sorry
to hear of the misfortune. but will be
glad to know that just before the fire
they struck a rich deposit of gravel.
It Is the intention to drift in the gravel
this winter
