number Of farms. and sold them to
butchers. The victims identified the

The thief secured a g on two
or more occasions, from Otterson's liv-
cry stable in this city. stating that he
wanted to make a trip to Bethany. On
both occasions the team was returned
the next morning.
The plan followed was to go ont TO
the vicinity of Bethany or West Lib

ness, haul them in the wagon to Full
ton and dispose Of the stock to butch
ers. Complaints from farmers indicate
that about seyenty-fve head of sheep

fesses a Crime o Which Her
S<ep-Father Was Executed.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., January TO-
Information has reached here that
Mrs. Van Horn, who recently died in
the State of Washington, confessed on
her death bed that she murdered her
mother, Mrs. Thomas Egan, near tlis
city, September IL, 1880. For this
crime Thomas Egan, the woman's
husband was hung, although to the last
protesting his innocence. Mrs. Van
Horn was his st~ep-dapgnter. Mrs.
Egan was ohoked to death with q rope
and her head bruised with a wooden
picket. The clothes Egan ri were
found in the barn covered with blood
and this caused his conviction. The
execution was bungled and he was
dropped three times before death en-
sued. The first time the rope broke
and the second it slipped. The physl-
clan at the hospital where Mrs. Van
Horn died, took down her confession
and SEN it to Egan's relatives here.

1t is not generally known that the long notorious Nell Gwynn was
once the means of securing a btshopric for al English doctor OF divinity
The story is an interesting one. During one of the visits Of that merry
monarch, King Charles, to Winchester, while engrossed with his plans for
building a royal residence in that historic city, Mistress Nell Gwynn was,
Of course, in attendance. 1t became necessary for Charles to provide her
with a lodging, so the merry monarch casually requested that Dr.. Ken,
then prebendary of Winchester, should receive Mistress Nell into his snug
little deanery. This the reverend doctor, who had a will of his own, stout
Iy refused to do. King Charles ws too sensible a man to take umbrage
at such a just exhibition of independence and religious integrity, and SO
when the bishopric O Bath and Wells became vacant this capricious SOW
ereign promptly inquired for the good little man who had refused to take
the profigate Mistress Gwynn under his deanery roof, and as promptly
made him the next bishop. The accompanying illustration shows this his
torc old deanery at Winchester which was once the scene Of such regal
goings on

THEORIES ABOUT b

a Few Facts on Same subjcc
We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living.
about yegetarianism and many
other fads along the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat. pastry
or coffee is served and the food
crank is in his glory, and argu-
ments and theories galore advanced
to prove that meat was never in
tended for human stomachs, and
almost make us believe that our
sturdy ancestors, who lived four
score years in robust health on
roast beef. pork and mutton, must
have been grossly ignorant of the
laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things
to do than formulate theories
about the food they ate. A warn
welcome was extended to any kind
from bacon to acorns.
A healthy appetite and common
are excellent guides to follow
in matters of diet, and a mixed
diet of grains, fruits and meats is
undoubtedly the best.
AS compared with grains and
vegetables, meat furnishes the
most nutriment in a highly con-
centrated form and is digested and
assimilated more quickly than
vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this SUBJ
ject says: Nervous persons. peo-
pie run down in health and of low
vitality should eat meat and plenty
OF it. If the digestion is too feeble
at first it may be easily corrected
by the regular use of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
OF these excellent tablets taken at
ter dinner will digest several thou
sand grains OF meat, eggs or other
animal food in three hours, and no
matter how weak the stomach may
be, no trouble will be experienced
If a regular practice Is made OF
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
because they supply the pepsin and
diastase necessary to perfect diges-

will be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who
come under the head of nervous
dyspeptics should eat plenty Of
meat and insure it's proper diges-
ton by the daily use of a safe.
harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, COM
posed of the natural digestive prin-
ciples, pepsin, diastase, fruit acids
and salts, which actually perform
the work Of digestion. Cheap ca
thartic medicines, masQuerading
under the name Of dyspepsia cures
are useless for indigestion, as they
have absolutely no effect upon the
actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all It's many forms
is simply a failure of the stomach
to digest food, and the sensible way
to solve the riddle and cure the
dyspepsia is to make daily use at
meal time of a preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
is Endorsed by the medical profess
sion and known to contain active
digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at soc. for full treat
