THE FEAR or HUMBUG



Stomach troubles are so common and
In most cases so obstinate 10 cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming TO be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness IN never be-
ing humbugged, especially In medl-
cines.
This fear OF being humbugged can be
carried too far so far, in fact. that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk little time
and money IN faithfully testing the
claims made Of preparation 80 reliable
and universally used as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Now stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medl-
cines for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret Is
made OF their ingredients. but analysis
shows them to contain the natural de
gestive ferments pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal. bis
muth hydrastis and nux They are
not cathartlc, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure IN
digestion on the common sense plan
OF dgesting the food eaten thoroughly
before II has time TO ferment, sour and
cause the mischief This is the only
secret Of their success.
Cathartlc pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because they act entirely on
the bowels, whereas the whole trouble
is really In the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food. That Is all
there is 10 It. Food not digested or
half digested is poison as Il creates
gas acidlty, headaches, palpitation OF
the heart, loss OF flesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name

LITIGATION OVER WIND CAVE.
The Famous Black Hills Spot Mny
Become n National Re-
serve,

The famous Wind cave of the Black
Hills, near Hot Springs, 5. d., oven
which there has been so much contro'
versy for some time, is to be examined
by a special agent and geologist sent
out by the government to find out as
to whether or not the property is to
be set apart by the government as
national reserve. In the report of the
secretary of the interior a fiattering
mention of this wonderful cave was
made.
Two lawsuits have sprung up over
this ground and bave been heard in the
local land Office in Rapid City. The
first was that of the Wind Cave com
pany against Elmer Mcdonald, involv.
ing homestead entry, and the second
was against Jesse d. Mcdonald by the
South Dakota Mining company. also
involving a homestead entry. In the
first case the local land Office held that
good faith had been shown by Me.
Donald in his holding of the ground,
and it was recommended that the entry
be perpetuated. In the second case il
was decided that the ground was not
a mineral bearing property, and, as
Jesse Mcdonald had not shown good
faith, it was decided that his home.
stead entry be cancelled. 1t was also
suggested that the property might be
of value to the government as a re.
serve.
Both cases were then appealed tc
the commissioner of the general land
office, whose decision was the same as
that of the local land office. and again
the cases were appealed to the secre.
tary of the interior. In the case OF
Elmer Mcdonald the secretary re.
versed the decision. but in the case OF
the Dakota Mining company against
Jesse Mcdonald he sustained the find,
ings of the commissioner and the 10.
cal land Office. 1t was then ordered
that the ground be gone over thorough.
ly by an expert geologist.

NURSE MIXES BABIES
Complications in Disposing of an Es-
tate Arise in Consequence.
Confusion Arises as TO which of Male
Twins Was Born First-Provi-
sion in Fathers VIII Makes
Eldest Son His Heir.

Jarad Marks, a farmer who lived near
Malvern Hill, seven miles west of Gene
va, n. v, died Monday last, leaving
an estate valued at about $4,000. He
left a will in which he stated that his
heirs, except his eldest son, should re-
ceive a cert ain sum each more proper
tionately than the laws of the state of
New York provided. He bequeathed
all the rest and residue of his estate to
provided for the disposition of the es'
tate if the expected child should be a
girl.
AS he was without children at the
time the will was made, November Is
last, the expression eldest son" was
inserted to act in case male twins were
born. At the time the will was made
Marks was i'll with cancer of the stom-
ach, and was not expected to recover.
He morally expressed the desire that
his estate should be kept intact so far
as possible, and descend to the eldest
son forever He requested that his name
also should descend to the eldest son
in the same manner as the estate.
Mrs. Marks gave birth to twin sons
Friday afternoon last. 1t was no.
ticed that the first born was marked by
a small mole Immediately beneath his
right shoulder blade, Otherwise the
babies were so much alike that even
the mother could not tell them apart.
The nurse. Mrs. Bertram, of Canaan
daigua, bathed them the other after
noon. She was dressing the one sup
posed to be the younger when she dis
covered that both of the babies were
markd by mole Immediately beneath
the right shoulder blade. In the eX.
citement over the discovery the posi-.
ton of the babies was changed, and d
moment later the nurse could not tell
the children apart, nor could the moth
er or the physician.
The case might be settled in the
courts were it not for a clause in the
will which states that if any contest
over the will occurs, or if any suit al
law should be caused by the WILL the
person who begins the contest or sui!
at law shall be disinherited and the por
ton bequeathed to him shall go to Ger
tain charitable institutions in Roches
ter.
Attorneys in Geneva say that as long
| as the eldest son cannot be ,distin
guished the only thing that can be done
is to break the will. and an effort to dc
this, it is stated. will be made.

FURTHER TEST OF LEMONS.
Importers Not Satisfied with the One
Recently Made which Favored
the California Product.

Importers of lemons will have an
analytical test made to show the rela-
tive quantity of citric acid contai<ed
in the imported fruit as compared
with the California product. This is
the latest development in the con-
troversy between importers and han
dlers of domestic lemons. which arose
over test of California lemons made
by the Earl Fruit company, and
which showed. according to the claims
of that company, that the domestic
fruit contained larger percentage of
citric acid than imported lemons. I'm
porters, it seems, are by no means
satisfied with the Earl test and ac-
cordingly will make a counter test.
Mr.. S. Saitta, large importer, said
that lie had Krone Bros, of this city,
select 12 lemons as preventative
lot from a Californian production
and also 12 Sicilian lemons from a
representative Importation These,
Mr.. Saitta said, had been given to an
expert chemist to make an analysis
in order to secure a perfectly fair
and impartial test" as to the relative
amount of citric acid contained in
the two lots.

BRITAIN LOSING TRADE.
Manufacturers Warned to Beware
of Industrial COmpe-
tltiOn.

To the disappointments of war time,
which are keenly felt when the Christ
mas season is approaching and over
10000 soldiers are fighting across
seas, is added the increasing pressure
of taxation and Industrial competi-
ton. The trade journals of England
are making great ado over the sue
cess of American manufacturers in
undertaking their British rivals in
tenders for the Urganda railway
bridges.
This industrial incident has created
strong impression, since it indicates
that the expansion of the British en-
pire and the opening of new markets
tend to promote American industries.
British iron and steel manufacture
ers are warned by their own trade
journals that they must arouse them
selves without delay, unless they are
prepared to lose their foreign mar
kets, since it has become notorious
that Americans and Germans are max
ing their competition felt with cumu-
lative effect.

QUEER SIAMESE MUSIC.
An Octave which Differs from Our
own and Has Seven Equal
Intervals.

Profs. Stump and Neesen, of the
Berlin university, have concluded some
interesting experiments regarding the
peculiarities of Siamese music, says
the Scientific American. The Siamese
musical octave differs from our own
in the fact that it comprises seven
equal intervals The sounds, though
perfectly harmonious, are somewhat
curious. While the Siamese court
troupe was at the geological gardens
in Berlin these two professors de-
cided to record these musical tones
in their natural sound to such exacti-
tude that the faintest variations
might be clearly defined In the
earlier experiments the ordinary pho
nograph was employed, but was
proved to be unsatisfactory, owing to
the unpleasant constant rasping re-
productions which always accompany
Photographic reproductions and which
in this case destroyed the distinct
ness of the sounds. A telephonograph
was then employed and the results
were all that could be desired BY
means of tnis apparatus the sounds
are so clear and the graduations so
faithfully recorded that it is Il diff
cult matter to distinguish between the
actual recital by the troupe and its
telephonographic reproduction.

searchIights on the Ranch.

Even the western cowboy has come
under the spell of the electric power,
and ranch in Lower California and
Mexico is to utilize local water pow
er for the generation of electricity,
for lighting, harvesting, pumping, etc.
The chief innovation will be the use
of searchli2hts on the mountains
overlooking the ranch to prevent cat
tie raids. The operator of each light
will be suitably armed with long
range weapons and provided with a
signal code by which he can fash in
formation to the other watchers. A
telephone system, embracing all por-
tions Of the 10000 acres, will be an
other convenient method of raising an
alarm.
