Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the Amer
leans, is certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, 1T is
more often the result of weak Stomachs,
of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trouble
is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric-
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the diStended stom-
ach 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 irri-
tateS 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 af-
ter meals of some safe, pleasant and eff
fective digestive preparation like Stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets. which may be found
at most drug stores, and which contains
valuable, harmless digestive elements in
a pleasant, convenient form.
It is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of Stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

SIGN BOER PETITION.
Rev. C. II. Sheldon's Congrega-
ton Follow His Suggestion.

Nearly everyone who attended Cen
trail Congregational church last night
and there was a large attendance
signed the pro-Boer petition which asks
congress to pass resolution of SYM
pathy for the Beers, and further sug-
tration by President Roosevelt and
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
The petition which was signed was
really a combination of two petitions,
the first asking for the resolution of
sympathy, being prepared by CommlS-
sioner Fischer, the accredited repreSen-
tative of the Boer government; the
other, relating to arbitration, Is the
scheme suggested by the Cosmopolitan
magazine.
Charles M. Sheldon. pastor of Central
church, is strong supporter of the Boer
cause. He investigated the subject con-
siderably while in England last sum-
mer, and says:
.'I believe that if the question of sub
hitting the question to arbitration was
left to a popular vote of the people of
England, 70 per cent of the population
would vote in favor of arbitration The
mass Of the British people are getting
very tired of this war, which is costing
81, 100000 day. There has been a great
change in the public sentiment in Eng
land since the beginning of the war
Mr.. Sheldon made a short address
concerning the war before he read the
last chapter of his story THE Re
former" last night. At the close OF
the services an opportunity was given
to sign the petition. Many We're I'M
able to sign because of the large crowd
which gathered around the table.
At 1.-THE Sunday morning services at
Central church an immense number OF
contributions Of clothing and other
useful articles were received The OBJ
jeot of the donation was the county
poor farm but after taking out a wagon
load of things for the farm another
wagon load was left, which was turned
over to Mrs. Thorpe. Some very hand
some gifts were received for the poor
farm. There was large Morris chair,
several big rockers, and a number of
rugs and carpets, all new.
The morning services were given
mainly by the Sunday school children.
The church was decorated with ever
green and bitterSweet.
Mr.. Sheldon says that his story, 1.-THE
Reformer,'' will be published a serial
story in some magazine He has had
propositions from several magazines,
but has accepted none.

MEMPHIs-FRIsco SPLIT.
Memphis Said to Have Been Sold
Out to Gould interests

A report is current in Kansas City to-
day that George Gould, working with
Nathaniel Thayer, has secured the con-
trolling stock in the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis railroad, and that the
Memphis will be taken out of the hands
of the ST Louis & San Francisco, which
has operated It for the past several
months, and will be made an independ
ent property in which the Gould inter-
ests predominant.
President Yoakum denied the report.
But according to this report Nathaniel
Thayer, who has long been one of the
principal stockholders in the Memphis
system, was dissatisfied with the opera
ton of that property by the Frisco, be-
Heving the latter road had taken Mem
phiS route equipment for use on Frisco
lines, leaving lines of the Memphis sys-
tenn unprovided for, and had otherwise
used the Memphis property for the ben
eft of the Frisco 1t is said that Mr..
Thayer and Mr.. Gould conferred with
the result that Thayer agreed if Gould
would buy enough Memphis stock to
give his own and the interests repre-
sented by Thayer control, that the prop
erty would be turned over to Gould
management and that this plan has
been followed out
No confirmation of the story could be
secured in Kansas City, ST. Louis or
New York President Yoakum was in
St Louis, but while denying the story
refused to talk further about it

tering Ludington harbor during a heavy
southerly gale, the Pere Marquette car

passer was scaIded to death and two
other coal passers, whose names are un-

before they were rescued. The accident
happened at midnight and during the
remainder Of the night there was neither
light nor heat on the boat. The VINO
was bitterly cold Great seas rolled
across the deck and ice formed wherever
the water fell.
The No Is arrived off the harbor from
Milwaukee at midnight after tempes-

seas and strong wind from an unfavor-
able quarter Captain Charles Thomp-
son decided to hazard an entrance TO

THOSE CRUEL BOERS.
London Hears Story of Fresh Out
RACES on Kaffirs.

New York, Dec 23.-According to the
Tribune's London correspondent, a dis
patch has been received by the war Of
flee from Lord Kitchener forwarding
further instances of alleged murders OF
natives by the Beers. Most of the cases
rest solely upon native testimony,
among them being horrible story of
burning alive kaff1r named Franz He
was the driver of a wagon forming
part of a British convoy captured be-
tween Pretoria and Rustenberg, a year
ago. Two Beers, it is alleged, wrapped
him in bucksaH and piled bags of oats
upon them. They then poured paraffine
upon the heap and set fire to it,
The total number of kaffirs reported
from Kimberley as having been muir
dered is 81, but detailed accounts have
not yet been received. Kaff1r evidence
has on many occasions since the out
break of the war been found untrust-
worthy, but there seems little reason
to doubt that the Beers adopt the prac-
tice of shooting any natives that they
may think conveyed or would be likely
to convey information of their move
ments to the British troops

PLACE FOR SYMPATHY.
A Word For the Railroad Men Who
Battle With the Cold.

EFrorn the Newton Kansan- Republican,
People who are looking for a chance
to scatter sympathy might shed a little
for the railroads who are having par
ticularly hard time just now They de-
serve as much sympathy as Miss Mis-
sionary Stone. Not the ones who sit in
their office chairs and boss the job.
They have nothing to do but worry and
swear. But the ones who are out on the
line trying to hustle trains over the
road. They have to worry and swear,
and put up with all manner of frozen
grief in addition. Trains are running
behind everywhere now on account of
the cold weather, and the men are hav-
ing all kinds of trouble.
