Preparatory to this report DR.. Hilprecht

they would materially change many OF the
dates heretofore judged on informa ton fur

er's question along this line by saying that
the Bible contained no dates other than
those reasoned out by its interpreters. He
added however. that many commonly &C
ceDted theories as to the movement Of the
Semitic races in the early days of Babylo-

He will also prove that wonderful civ

before the period to which it is first ac-
credited. DR.. Hilprecht has refused to give
out further Information on his inyestiga-

the next three months, and until that time
he prefers TO make no more statements.

A FREAK MAN KIDNAPPED.
Dwarf Was Wanted for u Travelling
Show, But Objected.
Frors the Lewiston Me.) Journal.)

(Frons the Lewiston (Me-) Journal.)
A queer case of kidnapping occurred in
Belfast the other evening, in which Don
Robbins was the victim. Don is well
known as being one of the smallest men
in the world. He is thirty-eight years of
age, about three feet in height, and
weighs about forty pounds. He is IN
usually bright and quickwitted. and has
had many offers to travel with circuses
and to appear in museums. His parents.
although poor fishermen, who live in East
Belfast, would never permit him to leave
home.
During the past two or three months
Don has been employed at the Windsor
Hotel. doing errands, backing shoes, and
performing other light work. He is very
popular and interesting with the guests.
He not only supported himself but gave
considerable money TO his folks. Rec Mt
1y Don has been saving his money to pur-
chase new suit of clothes. His folks
wanted the money. Don refused. So Fri
day evening members of the Robbins fam
lily hung around the Windsor Hotel until
a favorable opportunity. when they
grabbed Don and carried him home,
struggling and bowling. Such a public
and forcible case of kidnapping of a man
thirty eight years of age Is unique, to say
the least.

A LAW UNTO HIMSELF.
Every Man Must BE That to Retain
His Health and Digestion

There are thousands of people in this
world who eat no meat from one years
end TO another, and certain savage tribes
in Africa and Polynesia are almost ex-
elusiyely meat eaters; but while there are
thousands of these, there are millions who
live upon a mixed diet OF meat, vegetables,
and grains and If numbers is a criterion
it would seem that a mixed diet is the
best for the human family.
The fact that you will find many vege-
tarians who appear healthy and vigorous
and meat eaters equally soS and any num-
Der of robust specimens who eat both
meat and vegetables and anything else
that comes their way all goes to show
that the old saw IS the true one, that ev-
cry man must be a law to himself as to
what he shall eat and drink.
To repair the waste of tissue in brain
workers as well as TO replace the muscle
and slnew OF the 1aborer. can only be done
through the process OF digestion.
Every nerve, muscle, sinew, every drop
of blood is extracted from the food we eat
and digest
In these days OF hustle and worry, and
artificial habits of life, scarcely one per-
son in thousand en- lay claim to per-
feet digestion; dyspepsia is a national
affiiction and stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
national blessing
Most cases of poor digestion are caused
| by failure of the stomach to seerete suffi-
Client gastric juice, or too little Hydro
chloFic acid ana lack of peptoDes and ali
or these important essentials to perfect
digestion are found in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets in convenient palatable form.
One or two OF these tablets taken after
| meals ensure perfect digestion and assim-
iiation of the food.
Cathartie pills and laxative medicines
have no effect whatever in digestiug food
and to call such remedies cure for dys-
pepsia is far fetched and absurd
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pep
sin free from animal matter, diastase and
other digestives, and not only digest all
wholesome food but tend to increase the
flow of gastric juices and by giving the
weak stomach a much needed rest bring
about healthy condition of the digestive
organs and normal appetite.
Nervous, thin blooded rundown people
should bear in mind that drugs and stimu-
lants cannot furnish good blood, strong
muscles, and steady nerves. these come
gested; 50-cent box OF Stuart's Tablets
taken after meals for 4 few weeks will do
you more real good than drugs, stimu-
lants, and dieting combined
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is probably
the safest, most popular, and successful
digestive on the market and sold by drug
g1sts everywhere in the United States,
Canada, and Great Britain.

FOR INTER STATE PURPOSES.
Permit to "a Telegraph company to
String Two Wires.


The Western Unien Telegraph Company
recently requested of thu Commission rs
the privilege to string two wires p les
along E Street from the pole on the
south side, between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth Streets northwest to- the second
pole east of Twelfth Street. ard thence
to the Raleigh Hotel.
Walter c. Allen, the Electrical Engi-
her in reporting upon the appI at

for Interstate purposes. He IN ormed
the Commissioners that it is expressly
understood that no authority is conveyed
in this permit for the stringing OF wires
over private property. He states that
authority Tor granting the permit is
found in the recent opinion of the At
terney fer the District. in which he says
that the telegraph companies having
complied with the act OF 1856 are en- it Ell
to permits for string:ng wires for the
purposes above mentioned.
