WIFE'S SUFFERINGS
Seemingly Not Cared For. By the
Burly Who Wants No Atten-
tion Shown Her if He Can't
Share in the Good Things-A
Whipping Post Needed.

In telling Of the wretchedness o.
Mrs. Jackson and her newly born
babe yesterday the Chieftain erred
in so far as line of the article
said: "Joe Jackson, the husband,
did all in his power to alleviate
her suffering"
There were many things he
could Of done that he did not.
Jackson clustered into this office
this morning and wanted correc-
tion. With the above lines, the
only portion of last nights article
that was not the absolute truth, is
corrected.
Jackson is removed in a very
slight degree to brute--a hyena,
if you please, because we believe
that is the only species of brute
that will not assist to it's utmost
its wounded mate.
He claims to have been a fond
husband and a good provider.
Those who are in position to
know state that for some grievance
he condemned her to go two months
without shoes and that her bare
footed term expired just before
Christmas.
These observers also state that
Mrs. Jackson has many times been
actually hungry and her COM
plants were met either with
laugh or curse by her big, burly
husband.
He is not good provider, by
any means, although he is husky
enough to work If he would. He
has taken in, it is said, enough
money in selling chill and tomales
to have comfortably housed and fed |
his family. Jackson said himself
that be had, on occasions, taken in
seven or eight dollars in a day.
During the rain Of last night
Mrs. Jackson with ner little babe
stayed in the small tent although
the charitable ladies of the city
would have provided her with
better quarters, but for Jackson.
At 8 o'clock this morning no fire
nad yet been lighted by him in the
,ent stove.
Mrs. Ratcliff left a bundle of
clothing and some fruit at the tent
ast night. Mrs. King and Mrs.
Swain, with others, have attended
o the woman's temporary wants.
LAST night a number OF ladies
gathered at Mrs. Ratcliff's and
made up warm, soft clothing for
he baby's wardrobe.
The ladies will do everything in
heir power to alleviate the suffer-
ngs OF Mrs. Jackson, or any other
,erson in distress, but their pa
ience is pretty nearly exhausted

CURIOUS CUCKOOS.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with a very monotonous note /:
a continuous cry of cuckoo, cuckoo ,"
over and over again Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as a bird
that never builds a nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making a success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. 1t is so with those limitations of
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. II is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knoav1-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DR.. R. V Pierce, chief consulting ply
sician to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
n. y. For over thirty years DR.. Pierce
has made a specially of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult DR.. Pierce
BY letter absolutely without charge or
cost Every letter l. held as strictly PM
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.

Heart trouble. at least amonS the

while this may be largely due 10 the eS-
citemeut and worry OF American business
life, IL IS more often the result Of weak
StOulachs. ot pOor digestion
Real organic disease Is lncUrabie; but
not one case iu a hundred Of heart trouble
Is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled 10y the same great nerves.
the Sympathetic and PneumCgastrlC.
IN another way also. thc heart is az
fected by the form OF poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half-digested food. There is "A feeling Of
oppression and heaviuess In The chest
caused by pressure of the dlstcnced stom-
aCh on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action hence arises papitauon
and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making IL 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 et~
fectiye digestive preparation like stuart >
Dyspepsia Tablets. which may he found
