Archie Bero, South Side Young
Boy,
Had Both His Limbs Badly Scalded
BY an Accident mt His Home yes
terday Morning.

Archie Bero, aged sixteen years, an
empoye of the La Belle tin plant, was

both his limbs, causing them to be
painfully scalded. He received num-

The people of this city were shock
ed last evening to hear OF the sudden
death of one of its most prominent
citizens, Richard Stewart. Mr.. Stew
art. who lived on North Fifth street,
was down town early in the evening
at the postof1ce and in several other
business houses on Hanover street, and
on meeting Judge John s. Cochran,
near the postofice the two walked up
to Mr.. Stewards home as Mr.. Stewart
had some business with the Judge.
On their way Mr.. Stewart spoke of en-
joying such good health, remarking
that he never felt better. On reach
ing his residence the two men were in
conversation and while talking Mr..
Stewart suddenly arose to his feet and
standing a moment fell back in his
chair dead. His wife and the Judge
rushed to him, but the life of the low
ing husband and father had passed
away. The youngest son was dispatch
ed for a physician and Drs. Blackford
and Wilson soon arrived, but medical
aid was of no avail and the physicians
pronounced his death due to heart
failure Mr.. Stewart was in his fifty
seventh year and was born in Wagon
town, Pa, where he has two brothers
and two sisters living. The deceased
leaves a wife and two sons to mourn
his loss and the many friends will SYM
patlize with the wife and children in
their sorrow. Mr.. Stewart has resided
in this city about twenty years and was
well known, having been manager of
the rolling department of the Laugh
lin mill for a number of years, resign
ing only a short time ago. He accept
ed similar position in Steubenville
and resigned the latter a few months
ago, retiring from mill work. He also
had represented his party three times
in City Council. He was a sterling
Democrat and his counsel and judg-
ment was often sought by his party.
AS a citizen he was held in high es-
TEEN and his loss will be keenly felt
by all those who knew him. The ar
rangements for the funeral had not
been made last night. 1t was eight
o'clock when Mr.. Stewart died. He was

One of the most important civil
cases ever put on trial in a local tri-
bunal was inaugurated in the Circuit
Court, before Judge Hervey, yesterday
morning.
The title of the cause is Dr. S. K.
Hissom VS.. ]. r. Hissom. and the
amount of damages claimed is $780,
600. The immediate cause grows out
of the arrest of the plaintiff. in Feb
ruary last, on a charge of insanity,
and his subsequent Incarceration in an
asylum for the insane. The trouble.
however, dates much father back, and
is so complicated, from the point Of
view of both plaintiff and defendant,
that two hundred witnesses have al
ready been summoned, with the pros
pect that this number will be in
creased, and no one expects the evil
dence to be all in short of fifteen to
twenty days. The case will be not
able one, from any point of view, and
the daily sessions of the court are sure
to attract large amount OF atten-
ton. Counsel for plaintiff are w. P.
Hubbard, w. P. Robinson, S. G. Smith
and Charles T. Schuck. For defend
ant, Hon. John A. Howard and ]. B.
Handlan appear.
The jury was secured without much
difficulty, and is as follows: Charles
J. England, J. " Mendel, R. G. Blod-
gett, Edgar Dwight. George w. Bre-
mer, w. B. Mozingo, R. P. Donnelley,
John S. Hamilton, Louis Weyrick, w.
H. Vandine, William Davis and Chas.
Dailer. These gentlemen were sworn
about IL o'clock, and then the state
ments of the case were opened by Mr..
S. G. Smith, for plaintiff, who spoke
at great length, occupying the time
of the court until the noon adjourn
ment.
Mr.. Howard, for defense, followed at
the afternoon session, and addressed
the jury for over two hours, making a
strong exposition of his side of the
case. During his statement Mr.. How
ard read number of documents in the
nature of affidavits, etc., and he held
strenuously to the opinion t,Sat plain
tiff had not only been mentally ire
sponsible, but probably was so yet,
upon the subject of acquiring portion
of his fathers fortune.
Mr. Howard was followed by Mr. w.
P. Hubbard, who closed the opening
statement for plaintiff. His address
was very forcible one, as might be
expected, and he was listened to
throughout speech which he prom
Used would be short, but which, in re-
ality, was long, with the closest in
terest, not only by the jury, but by
the large audience.
This morning the first witness will
be called, and the case will be con-
tinusd from day to day until it is
ready for submission to the jury.

burglars Abroad.

Sunday night at some unknown
time burglars entered the grocery
store of S. Martin on Hanover street,
next door to the postoffice. An en-
trance was gained by knocking off a
board on the rear door, which had
been nailed over an opening where
a pane of glass had been broken. The
thieves secured about thirty or forty
dollars worth of goods, among which
was a large amount of candy. There
must have been several of the thieves,
as it would amount to quite load.
No clue was obtained by the police,
and as there was no light in the store,
people passing would hardly see any
one in the store. Some say tracks were
seen in the snow, but the police say
they could not discover any tracks.
During some time in the night an at
tempt was made to gain entrance to
the hardware store of John M. Hender-
son & Co., on the corner of Fourth
and Hanover streets, AppQsite Mar
tins grocery. They succeeded in get
ting into the outside wareroom but
failed to force the door entering the
store room, and left one of their tools
A hole was drilled in the door, but the
heavy iron bar prevented them from
forcing the door. The Office window
was tried, but iron bars on the inside
stopped them here or they were
frightened away. Nothing was missed
from the ware room. 1t is thought
they are amateurs, as their work
seemed to be done in a bungling man
ner.

EXTRAORDINARY MERIT


~ New catnrrn Surrs
Physicians are slow to take up
new and untried remedies. until
their value has been established by
actual experiment and they are
naturally skeptical OF the many
new preparations constantly APP
pearing and for which extravagant
claims are made.
The most liberal and enlight-
ened physicians are always ready,
however, to make a fair trial Of
any new specific and get at its
true medical value.
A new preparation for the cure
of catarrh has attracted much at
tention in the past few months
and has met with great favor from
the medical profession not only
because it is remarkably success
full in tie cure of catarrh but also
because 1t is not a secret patent
medicine; any one using it knows
just what he is taking into his
system.
1t is composed of Sanguinaria
which acts on the blood and.mucous
membrane, Hydrastin for same
purpose to clear the mucous from
the head and throat, and Eucalyp-
toll and Guaiacol to destroy
catarrh germs in the blood.
All of these antiseptic remedies
are combined in the form OF a
pleasant tasting tablet or lozenge,
and are sold by druggists under
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
and many recent tests in chronic
catarrh cases have established its
merit beyond question.
DR.. Sebring states that he has
discarded inhalers. sprays and
washes and depends entirely upon
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in treat
ing nasal catarrh; he says: II
have had patients who had lost
the sense of smell entirely and
whose hearing was also impaired
from nasal catarrh recover COM
pletely after a few weeks use of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. / have
been equally successful with the
remedy in catarrh OF the throat
and catarrh of stomach. can
only explain it on the principle
that catarrh Us a constitutional
disease and that the antiseptic
properties in these tablets drives
the catarrhal poison completely
out of the system"
DR.. Odell says: I have cured
many cases of catarrh of the stom-
ach in past four months by the
use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
alone without the use of any other
remedy and without dieting. The
Tablets are especially useful in
nasal catarrh and catarrh Of the
throat, clearing the membranes
and overcoming the continual
hawking, coughing and expector-
ating, so disgusting and annoying
to catarrh sufferers.
All druggists sell Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets at so cts. for full
sized package, and a little book
on cause and cure of catarrh will
be mailed free by addressing F. A.
Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
