Was the Principal Attraction fO
Feminine Eyes Yesterday.


Feminine Eyes Yesterday.
Yesterday, beautiful and decidedly
spring-like, brought the ladies out, in
remarkably large numbers, and morn
ing, afternoon and evening, the streets
were thronged with the feminine por-
ton of humanity.
Main street had unusual attractions
for the ladies, particularly that por-
ton where the larger millinery stores
are located. and these emporiums of
fashion were more than thronged,
while the extraordinary collections of
complicated and many-hued head-gear
were eagerly examined and commented
upon, and infrequently purchased.
Many of the establishments devoted
to the manufacture and sale of hats
and bonnets made extraordinary prep
arations early in the past week and
had open for inspection and purchase
more poems" in hats and dear, sweet
things" in bonnets than has been ex-
hibited in Wheeling for many a day.
The window displays were uniformly
tasteful and attractive, while inside
the stores were embellished with pot
ted plants and otherwise tastefully dec
Grated, while electric lights were pro-
fuse. These displays will continue dur
ing the coming week and there will be
grand clamor next Saturday night
the night before Easter.

Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Trouble.

Heart tro1ble. at least among
Americans. is certainly increasing.
and while this may be largely due
to the excitement and worry of
American business life, it is more
often the result of weak stomachs,
of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incur
able; but not one case in hun
dred of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is be-
cause both organs are controlled
by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and the Pneumogas-
trio.
IN another way also the heart
is affected by the form of poor
digestion. which causes gas and
fermentation from half digested
food. There is a feeling of OPP
preston and heayiness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distend-
ed stomach on the heart and
lungs. interfering with their
action; hence arises palpitation
and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood. making it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the
digestion and to insure the prompt
assimilation OF food.
This can be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe,
pleasant and effective digestive
preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, which may be found
at drug stores, and which contain
valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments in a pleasant, convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.

A BULLET N HIS TEMPLE
SENT THERE BY HIS OWN HAND,
ENDED THE LIFE OF FRED
DE GROOTE.
CAUSE OF RASH ACT UNKNOWN.
None of the Friends of the Dead
Man Suspected That He Contem-
plated Suicide, and None Can Dis
cover a Probable MOtive-A Bel
1aire Business Man.

The city of Bellaire was startled yes
terday morning to learn of the suicide
of Fred. De Groote, of the dry goods
firm of Mayer & De Groote He was
about his business as usual in the
morning and seemed in good spirits,
and talked freely to those with whom
he came in contact.
About ten o'clock he left the store
and went to a barber shop and got
shaved, and on his way back to the
store he met several friends who
talked to him. After going into the
store he went out in the back yard to
the coal house, where he pulled re-
volver from his pocket. He placed it
to his left temple and pulled the trig-
ger, sending the ball through his brain,
and he fell face downward. When
found his head was In pool of blood,
with his hand still on the revolver and
one finger on the trigger.
Drs. West and Beetham were called
but nothing could be done, and the
body was taken to Bradley's undertake
ing establishment to be prepared for
burial 1t is thought that it was about
10: 80 when he committed the rash act.
There is not known any cause why
Mr.. De Grooue should have committed
this act, as his business affairs were
in good shape and his family relations
seemingly pleasant, and he had just
recently purchased some property.
That the deed was premeditated is
shown plainly as it is said he had just
recently purchased the weapon and all
the chambers were loaded except the
one that he had fired. Several car
tridges were found in his pocket.
The suicide leaves a wife and two
children, the Oldest being about seven.
He was thirty-eight years of age, and
has always been man of strict busi-
ness integrity. He was employed by
A. Klotz for sixteen years. The fun
eral will occur Monday morning at 10
O'Clock, and the interment will be
made in Winding Hill cemetery.
Rabbi Levi will have charge of the
services.

an explosion quickly followed. Before
he had time to get out of danger. he
was caught in the flames and had his
arms and hands badly scorched. He
was cared for by the workmen and his
burns were properly dressed in due
time. 1t was reported last evening
that he had recovered considerably
from the shock of the accident. Mr..
Phillips injuries are of quite a pain
full nature and consequently he will
be off duty for some days.
