of Hawaii, Mr.. Leadingham saw on
one side of the road a building, in
front of which were some peculiar
shaped banners attached to tall poles.
A pathway leading up TO the building
had been cut through the steep bank
by the roadside, and the banks on eth
er side of this pathway were stuck full
of short pieces of bamboo, attached to
which were strips of paper covered
with Japanese characters. The build
ing was a Shinto shrine and the strips
OF paper were prayers. Missionary
work has been conducted i'm the islands
for years, but now that they have be-
come part of the United States it may
be expected that the work of regenera-
tion will be prosecuted with renewed
energy.

A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most efectual
cure for every form of Indigestion.
They are in the tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely, while
liquid preparations become stale and use
less with age.
They are convenient, can be carried in
the pocket and taken when needed. They
are pleasant to take.
After each meal diA1lve one or two of
them in the mouth az. mingIing with the
food, they constitute a perfect digestive,
absolutely safe for the most sensitive
stomach.
They digest the food before it 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 today is the specialist, the sue
cessful medicine is the medicine prepared
especially for one disease.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood pure
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
A whole package taken at one time would
not hurt one, but would simply be a waste
OF good material.
Over six thousand men and women in
the State of Michigan alone have been
cured OF indigestion and dyspepsia by the
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Sold by all druggists at so cents per
package.

Litigation Growing Out of the Will
Columbus Alexander.
Maurice B. Alexander, who some time ago
bus Alexander, yesterday through his at
torneys, Messrs. J. NJ Wilson, Lambert &.
Lambert and A. S. Worthington, made an
other move toward stopping the probating
Of the will and the disposing of the pro-
perty, real and personal, among the heirs OF
the deceased. The last step is in the form
Of suit in equity in which the complain
ant names Rebecca Alexander. the widow,
and twenty-one others as defendants and
asks the court TO appoint receiver TO take
charge of the estate of the deceased and
TO restrain the executors from disposing
Of the assets.
The bill states that the defendants are
all those who are interested in any way in
the estate. either as next of kin or de-
visees, and that the late Columbus Alexan
der died possessed of about $27 900 worth
OF personal property and real estate valued
at 100000. The latter is described in de-
tail and consists of over one hundred
pieces.
1t is alleged that pending the litigation
over the will there is nobody authorized
to manage and collect the rents from the
property and preserve the estate, for which
reason the court is requested to take charge
through the medium of a receiver. 1t is
said that a large part OF the real estate
in controversy and against which ejectment
suits were recently filed comprises some
of the most valuable business property in
the city, such as two of the large stores
occupied by Woodward & Lothrop in f
Street, the florist establishment at 721
Fourteenth Street. and several pieces in
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue

A complaint from Mrs. NJ. B. Hay, SIS

theft of building material from her prem

removal was granted. The building was
