Th. Chinese Cook.

Mrs. White determined in the frs.
flush of her newly wed dignity that
she was not gong to be squeezed" by
the Chinese cook and the storekeeper,
as It was quite plain cvory one else
was. Accordingly she purchased scales
and weights and announced her inten
tion of personally weighing everything.
For some days this method proved very
satisfactory, but she was sometimes Il
little puzzled on finding that the provi-
sions occasionally weighed more than
was charged for.
One day tie mystery was solved.
She was carefully weighing chicken.
In China not only is everything, living
and dead, sold by weight, but fowls are
always supplied alive. The chicken
during the weighing operation sudden
ly entered a vigorous objection and be-
gan to flap and struggle with all its
might, and during these flappings and
strugglings something welghty fell
with thud TO the floor, evidently from
somewhere about the chicken. This
turned out to be large piece Of leaG
which had been cunningly fastened un-
der one of the wings. Further investi
cation led to the discovery of a similar
piece underneath the other wing. The

His Wife Says She Knows the Man
Who Is Guilty.

Wesley d. Kieffer, ex-postmaster of
Thorndyke, Portage county, was shot
and it is believed fatally wounded
Thursday night as he was leaving his
barn after milking.
A special to the Democrat from

the affair:
Kieffer and his wife returned from
Kent late, and had just completed
milking their cows in the barn. AS
they We're leaving the building Kief-
fer was met by stranger, who pulled
revolver and shot at him, the ball
entering just below the heart and
lodging in the abdominal cavity. Kief-
fer ran from the barn, pursued by his
assailant who fired again, the ball
lodging in his right hip.
Mrs. Kieffer ran to her husbands
two shots at her. AS he was about
to shoot at Kieffer third time, Mrs.
Kieffer hurled lantern at the mans
head. IT struck him in the face and
was broken to pieces. The man ran
from the scene, and Kieffer aided by
his wife, reached William Kneifels
neAr by. Physicians were summoned
from Kent, who found Kieffer in a
serious condition, with little hope of
recovery.
Mrs. Kieffer thinks she recognized the
man, but refuses to give his name for
fear of being in error Officers and
bloodhOunds have been sent for. and
the people are thoroughly aroused.
Kieffer is aged twenty-siX.

censry of unparalleled progress. 1t is
distinctly western world affair. al
the governments of the western hemi
sphere having been invited to partici

sponses have been made by every i'm
portant government. state and depend

are preparing to be represented by

suitably represented upon this great
occasion. The Exposition will con-
tinue six months and will furnish an
opportunity such as rarely comes for
the public to take note. at glance,
of the wonderful progress of the west

About 10000 people have subscribed

remained all night at work upon the
case.
At o'clock Friday morning Kieffer
was reported dying. Physicians were
again summoned from Kent. They
remained with the injured man until
) o'clock when he was resting more
comfortably. The chances for Keif.
fer's recovery, however, are exceeding.
ly doubtful.
The officers believe that Mrs. Kief.
fer will divulge the name of the vii
lain who attempted the murder, to
them today. She is confident that she
recognized her husbands assailant,
when she smashed the lantern in his
face and one reason for Withholding
the information is the fear of future
trouble.

A movement TO interest the public
school teachers and public school pupils
in the Pan-American Exposition to be
held at Buffalo next summer has been
started. 1t originated in some of the
public schools Of Pennsylvania and is
being taken up elsewhere as the wis
dom of the plan becomes apparent. The
idea Is to have the teachers in the pub
lie schools write essays for various oc-
casions of an educational character on
the objects and aims of the Exposition
and the bearing that such display
will have on the commerce OF the
world. similar plan regarding the
Paris Exposition was found quite sue
cessful and resulted in the attendance
of large corps of teachers at that fair
The plan contempates also essays by
pupils. 1t Is believed that In this way
much information can be spread re.
garding the benefits to be derived from
cultivating closer relations With the
different countries of this hemisphere
and that 1t would result In greater in,
trlligence among the public school
teachers and pupils on this subject, as
well as a larger attendance among this
class of the population at the Exposi-
tion. ~"

ALL RIGHT IN BISCUITS
But a Poor Medicine.

Common soda Is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
soda was never intended for medicine
and people who use it as such will
some day regret it,
The common use of soda to relieve
heartburn and sour stomach is a habit
which thousands of people practice,
almost daily, and enc which is fraught
with danger, soda gives only tempor-
airy relief and in the end the stomach
trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant TO the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulates in the inrestines, caus-
ing death by inflammation or periton-
tits.
DR.. Harlanson recommends as tho
safest and surest cure for sour stom.
ach acid dyspepsia) the daily use af-
ter meals of an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These

pleasant to the taste and containing
the natural peptones and digestive
| elements necessary to good digestion
and which all weak stomachs lack.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets used reg.
ularly after meals digest the food
promptly and thoroughly before it has
time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invaria-
bly, uses and recommends Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets in all forms of
stomach arrangement and finds them
a certain cure, not only for sour stom.
ach, but by causing prompt gestion
of the food they create a healthy appe-
tite, increase flesh, and strengthen the
action of the heart and liver.
They are not n cathartlc and contain
no violent drug but are intended only
for stomach diseases and faulty di-
gestion, and generally acknowledged
to be the most reliable cure for any
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Stuait's Dyspepsia Tablets now en-
joy an international reputation and
popularity and are sold by druggists
everywhere in the United State, Cana
da and Great Britain.

by not providing for good restaurants,
