SUPERIOR MERIT.
Remarkable Curative Properties of Q
Remedy for Indigestion and
s omach Weakness

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, a prep
aratiOn for the cure of dyspepsia and
the various forms of indigestion and
stomach trouble, owes its great success
that it is prepared for disease and weak
ness of the stomach and digestive or
gans only, and is not recommended or
advised for any other disease.
1t is not a cure-all, but for any stom-
ach trouble it is undoubtedly the safest
most sensible remedy that can be ad-
ViSed with the prospect of a, permanent
cure. 1t is prepared in tablet form,
pleasant to taste, composed of veg
etable and fruit essences, pure pepsin
and Golden Seal, every one of which act
effectively in digesting the food eaten,
thereby resting and invig6rating the
weak stomach; rest is natures cure for
stomach unless you put into it some
thing that will do it's work or assist in
the digestion of food.
That is exactly what Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets do, one grain of the
digestive principle contained in them
will digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs
or similar wholesome foods, they will
digest ehe food whether the stomach
is in working order or not, thereby
uourishHng the body and resting the
stomach at the same time and rest and
nourishlnent is natures cure for any
/ weakness.
In persons run down in flesh and APP
/ petite these tablets build uD the
! strength and increase flesh, because
/ they digest fesh-forming food which
! the weak stomach cannot do; they in
4 crease the flow Of gastric juice and pre-
vent fermentation, acidity and sour
watery risings
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores at 50 cents PEI
l package.

KILLS A FAMILY.
MOnStrOuS Crime of a Supposed
Insane Hired Man.

Moosemin, Assiniboia, June ia
sheriff's posse which returned here last
night from Welwin, a village twelve
miles north, brings details of the
Strengthening of Postmaster Alex Nc
Arthur and four other members of his
family and the fatal wounding of an
other; also the serious Wounding of
two others, by John Morrison, Nc
Arthurs hired man, yesterday. The
dead are:
Alex Macarthur, father.
Mrs. Alex Macarthur, mother.
Dempsey Macarthur, aged II.
Charles Macarthur, aged 8.
Russell Macarthur, aged 4
The wounded:
Mamie Macarthur, aged 6.
Henry Macarthur, aged 2.
BABY Macarthur, aged three weeks,
fatally.
Miss Macarthur, who was spared by
the murderer. is the only one able to
give anything resembling a coherent
account of the tragedy. She says that
Morrison came to her room and awak-
ening her from her sleep said that he
had killed all the family but little Rus
sell and herself, and that he would kill
Russell but spare her. He than grasped
Russell, who was in bed with her, and
butchered him with an ak. Morrison
then rushed from the house, saying
that he was going to shoot himself
The girl, frenzied by the horrible sight
of the murder Of her little brother
staggered into the other rooms of the
house to find that Morrison had killed
four other members of the family with
the ak Three others were wounded
ard left for dead.
with some difficulty she reached a
neighbours house and told the story
Mer turned out and set out on the
trail of the murderer. He was found
during the evening, bleeding from a
wound in the chest, which he said he
had inflicted with a gun after leaving
the Macarthur house.
There appears to be an utter absence
of motive for the act of Morrison. who
was considered a quiet, well behaved
fellow. He is 27 years old, and was
born in Glasgow. and came to this
country about eight years ago. The
only logical theory is a temporary at
tack of murderous insanity. He will
probably recover from his wound.

The bugbear Of Russian interference
in China has assumed giant dimensions
during the last few days All the other
first-class powers seem to be convinced
that the cars emissaries have actually
made overtures to the Chinese empress,
offering assistance in the restoration of
order and this circumstance, coupled
with the presence Of a powerful Rus
sian force, both naval and military, at
Tien Tsin. begets a decree Of Jealous
hostility which threatens to lead to the
most perilous complications. Japan
takes the initiative in opposing the
Russian scheme Of interference and the
others. including our own nation, are
making ready to follow suit The con-
ditions are somewhat simplified by the
attitude of the empress, who rejects all
foreign proposals and insists upon deal
ing in her own way with the disorders
within her dominions. 1t is notorious
that no bona hde attempt is being made
TO suppress the riots, for, although
Christians, native as we'll as foreign
are being murdered daily by the boxers.
not a single boxer has yet been arrested
and the government has shown itself
TO be at heart in sympathy with the
anti-foreign agitation.
