ABOUT HEART DISEASE.
Ninety Per Cent of 1t Really Caused
 from Poor Digestion.

Real organic heart trouble is incurable, hut scarcely one case in hundred Is or ganic.
 The action of the heart and stomach are both controlled by the same great nerves, the sympathetic and pneumogastris and when the stomach fails to properly digest the food and it lies in the stomach Ter menting gases are formed which dlSteno the organ causing pressure on the heart and lungs causing palpitation, irregularity and shortness of breath.
 The danger from this condition IS that, the continued disturbance of the heart sooner or later may cause real organic heart trouble and ins fact frequently does so.
 Furthermore, poor digestion makes the blood thin and watery and dencient in red corpusces, and this further irritates and weakens the heart
 The most sensible thing to do for heart trouble is to insure the digestion and as- similation of the food.
 This can be done by the regular use afte" meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuarts Dys- peptia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain ts*s necessary digestive elements in pleasant convenient form.
 Thousands of people keep well and wig oorus by keeping their digestion perfect by observing the rule of taking one or two of these tablets after each meal, or at least after each hearty meal.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain U. S. P. pepsin, diastase from malt and other natural digestives which act only on the food, digesting it perfectly and preventing acidty, gases, and the many diseased con- dftions which accompany a weak stomach
 When Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are used you may know you are not taking into the system any strong medicine powerful drug but simply the natural digesti-'' ele- ments which every weak stomach
 So widely known and popular hay tese tablets become that they are snow so,d in the United States, Canada and Great Brit ain.

BRITISH
In South Africa Explained by Cable

London March 26.-The continued

dated Sunday, March 18th. and pub
lished in the second edition of The
Times. 1t says:
THE conditions existing in the oc-
supied territory render imperative the
somewhat prolonged halt at Bloemfon-
tein. 1t is necessary that the effect
Of the proclamation should have time
to make itself felt. 1t is declared that
danger of annoyance to the line of COM
munication may be apprehended unless
the territory behind the advancing
forces is rendered absolutely ecure
The accuracy of this view is proved
by the fact of the enemy's breaking up
into isolated groups such as that which
attacked the Guards officers Friday.
The adjustment of financial and mu.
nicipal matters in the Free State is
To- chiefly occupying the attention of
the governor n his legal and finan-
cial advisors. The military regime is
being conducted with great smooth
ness, but recent Investigations show
that caution must be exercised in deal
ing with persons apparently loyal"
This summary from headquarters is
probably an accurate explanation of
the frequent appearance and disap-
pearance of Beers and insurgents. upon
which the reports are SO conflicting
and which so puzzle the British mill
tary critics.
General Methuen appears to be
awaiting transportation, and, with
Colonel Plumer's forces on half ra-

of the immediate relief Of M~afeking,

A ROW NARROWLY AVERTED.
Exciting Scene in the Secretary OF
State Powers Trial.

Frankfort, KY, March 26.-The most
thrilling event of the examining trial
of republican Secretary or State Caleb
Powers occurred this afternoon short
ly after 8 o'clock and for a few min
utes it looked as if serious trouble
could not be prevented. Colonel
George Denny, for the defendants, in
an argument o the competency of
a question, said: 1T is perfectly law
full for people to come here, and to
come armed. / came here several
times myself" He was referring to
the crowd that was present at the mass
meeting held in the state house yard
just prior to Governor Goebel's aSSas-
Sination.
Colonel Campbell. for the prosecution,
replied that he did not consider it law
full and was surprised to know hat
Mr.. Denny had come here armed
Denny denied having made such a
statement and a that he did not
come armed. Campbell insisted that
he had made the statement. Both men
were very excited and spoke with We
hemence and, with arms shaking, COM
menced to advance toward each other.
The court room was rowded and the
audience evidently thought a fight was
on and made a mad rush for the doors
and windows, people falling over each
other in their efforts to get out OF the
room. Several policemen and deputy
sheriffs were crying for order Judge
Moore was bringing his gave down
with terrific force and urging the PEG
pie to take seats. After five or ter
minutes of the most exciting scenes

Colonel Denny replied in a very happ!
speech.
On an inspection of the record it was
found that Colonel Campbell had mis-
