SUES FOR BIG DAMAGES.
Reno County Woman Wants $17, 1875
For False imprisonment.

Hutchinson, Nov. 2s.-The big damage
suit against Sheriff Simmons of Sedg-
wick county for false Imprisonment,
brought by Mrs Mary Mathes of Reno
county, will come up for hearing at
Wichita today This case is the out
growth Of a sensational story followed
by several arrests in this county and at
Wichita last year
Mrs. Mathes and her husband, Fred
Nathes,w who are well known in the north
part of the county, were arrested among
others and some very sensational
charges were made against them Sheriff
Simmons was brought into the case by
w. P. F'leeman, then a guard at the
Kansas penitentiary. who claimed to
have all kinds of evidence against an
alleged gang with which he said the
Mathes family were connected. Mr.. and
Mrs Mathes were taken to Wichita and
were released on their preliminary hear
ing there being no evidence against
them While at Hutchinson on
their way to Wichita they stated to
friends here that there was no truth in
the charges against them Mrs. Mathes
in the present suit asks for damages in
the sum of ST, 125
The story sprung by F1eeman created
quite a sensation at the time. and while
he seemed to have found evidence that
there had been an organized gang a
work in central Kansas. he appeared to
who the members Of the gang were.
F1eeman got his information from Alva
Ballard, a young convict in the peniten-
larry. Ballard made confession and
F'leeman, taking this statement as facts,
went to work on the case and with his
complete confidence in the truth of Bal
lard's story. induced Sheriff Simmons to
make arrests. When there was need to
use evidence Fleeman could produce
none of any worth.

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

Real organic heart trouble in incura-
pie. but scarcely one case in a hundred
is organic.
The action of the heart and stomach
are both controlled by the same great
nerves, the sympathetic and pneumo-
gastric and when the stomach fails to
properly digest the food and it lies in
the stomach fern gases are form
ed which distend the organ causing
pressure on the heart and lungs causing
palpltatlon, 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 in fact frequently
does SO.
Furthermore, poor digestion makes
the blood thin and watery and deficient
in red corpuscles, and this further irri-
tateS and WeakenS the heart
The most sensible thing to do for
heart trouble is to insure the digestion
and assimilation of the food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain the necessary digestive elements
In pleasant, convenient form
thousands of people keep well and
vigorous by keeping their digestion per-
rect by observing the rule of taking one
or two OF these tablets after each meal,
or at least after each hearty meal
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain u.
5. p. pepsin, diastase from malt and
other natural digestives which act only
on the food, digesting it perfectly and
preventing acidity, gases, and the many
diseased conditions which accompany
weak stomach
When Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
used you may know you are not taking
into the system any strong medicine or
powerful drug but simply the natural
digestive elements which every weak
stomach lacks
So widely known and popular have
these tablets become that they are now
sold in the United States. Canada, and
Great Britain.
