THREE TOUGH CHARACTERS
BY BRIDGEPORT PO-
LICE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON,
AFTER A HARD FIGHT.
ONE OF THE MEN SHOT
AND DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED By
MARSHAL THOMPSON.
The Men Were All Armed and Were
Well Equipped With Burglar
TOoIs-A Considerable Quantity of
Notions Captured With Them-The
Case Mysterious OneN
Marshal

Yesterday afternoon Marshal
Thompson and Officer Meister. OF
Bridgeport, were called to Wheeling
Creek, two and one-half miles west of
Bridgeport, where three tramps were
creating some disturbance. When
the two officers arrived they found
three men in one building, which
was an old structure, and it was said
no one was living in it. Officer Meis-
ter went to the back door and
Thompson went to the front door.
There he met man who immediate
ly struck the Marshal hard blow in
the mouth, staggering him for a mo-
ment. The man stepped out OF The
house and placed his hand to his
hip pocket and started to run. The
Marshal thought he was going to
shoot and pulled his revolver and shot
the man through the back. He ran
about two hundred yards before he
was caught, and then he resisted so
much that he had to be handcufled.
Meister arrested the other two men
and when searched found revolver
on each, loaded, and in the mans
overcoat, who was shot, revolver
was also found. All three We're
brought to the jail in Bridgeport. A
doctor was called for the wounded
man, but failed to locate the ball.
Medicine was given him and he was
placed in cell and made as comfort
able as possible. The other two were
also placed in a cell. The wounded
man vomited considerably and seem
ed to suffer much pain. When a
careful search was made of the men
and the house they were in, a con-
siderable amount of notions were
found, also a complete outfit of bur
glar tools. The notions consisted OF
handkerchiefs, socks, knives, revoly-
ers, and a large amount Of cartridges.
They will probably get hearing to
day. Soon after they were arrested
a Register reporter called at the Jail
and talked to the men. One man
gave his name as Harry King, from
Canton, O., and said he was on his
way to Parkers5urg, but had fallen in
with the others and had spent day
with them. The other man was
James Yost, of Bridgeport and said
he had been away for few years,
but when the two were asked who the
man was that was shot they said
they did not know his name or where
he was from. AS to their past ca
reer, they would say nothing, but
this trio have probably figured in
some of the robberies in this vicin-
ity

or Treating Dyspepsia and stomach
Troubles IL Useless and Unscien
tinc.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has
been proven time and again, but
even now course of dieting is
generally the first thing recon-
mended for a case of indigestion
or any stomach trouble.
Many people, with weak diges
ton, as well as some physicians,
consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion is
to restrict the diet, either by Sc
lecting certain foods and rejecting
others or to cut down the amount
of food eaten to barely enough to
keep soul and body together, In
other words the starvation plan, is
by many supposed to be the first
essential.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recon-
mend dieting to man already sur
fering from starvation because in
digestion itself starves every or
gan, nerve and fibre in the body.
What people with poor digestion
most need is abundant nutrition,
plenty of good. wholesome, prop
erly cooked food. and something
to assist the weak stomach to di-
gest it.
This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are adapted and the true reason
why they cure the worst cases OF
stomach trouble.
Eat sufficient amount of whole
some food and after each meal
take one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets to promptly digest
it.
in this way the system is nour-
ished and the overworked stom-
ach rested, because the tablets will
digest the food whether the stom-
ach works or not. one grain of the
active digestive principle in Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets being SUI
fiicient to digest 5000 grains OF
meat, eggs or other albuminous
food.

as for the adult.
All drug stores sell this excel

of them after meals will be of
great benefit. not only as an i'm

build up and invigorate the diges-

Rubber Day.

There is every indication that the
Rubber Day project of the lady man
ayers of the Kings Daughters Day

afternoon, at which next Friday and
Saturday were fixed as the Rubber
Days. The collections from the pub
lie schools will take place on Fri
day. The Daughters have establish

sent. A number of merchant, drug

furnish old rubber if it is sent after,
and the ladies announce that in all
such cases, if they are notified, the
rubber will be sent for. 1t has been
decided to place barrels appropriate
ly placarded, in all the grocery stores,
to enable their customers to make
contributions.

Mr. NJ. G. Mulhall says there is no
reason to fear oyercrowding on this
globe for centuries. The area Of the
United States, excluding Alaska, is
just 100000 square miles; the aver
age density Of the New England
States is II inhabitants to the square
mile, so that it may be said that the
union could easily support 21O,O0O,-
900, or three times its present popula-

Australia are each of them larger

GROWS IN SEALED FLASK.
A Cactus in the Botanical Garden at
Berlin

In the botanical gardens of Ber-
lin is to be seen a cactus which has
grown for seven years in glass flask
sealed by fusion; it was presented by
a German pharmacist, Ludwig Rust.
lie explains the, growth of the plant
by the fact that the soil in which it
grows contains certain quantity Of
spores of fungi, which germinate
from time to time and cover the sides
of the flask with a greenish layer.
These, in dying, furnish the carbonic
acid necessary for the life of the cac-
tus. This explanation appeared sat
isfactory at first, but it was then asked
from whence came the carbonic acid
for the fungi; again, the phenomena
Of nutrition which take place in the
green parts of the plant require an
excess of carbonic acid. This seems,
in fact, to be FURNISHED by the process
Of putrefaction which takes place in
the soil. Another question which is
more difficult to answer is the origin
Of the water which is necessary to
maintain the life Of the plant; this
may be derived from the decomposi
ton of the cellulose. However these
questions may be answered, the fact
remains that the plant lives and de-
velops in a hermetically closed me-
dium. The experiment is not diff
cult to carry out, and its study may
lead to interesting results Scientific
