AN INSANE MANS DoINGS.


Macon, NO., June 6.--James Stacey,
an engineer, aged 81, living ten miles
east of here on the Burlington road,
in fit of mental alteration killed his
wife and daughter, aged IS, and then,
after relating the fact to a neighbor,
shot himself to death. James, an
eight-year-old son, was spared. The
tragedy occurred when the victims
were asleep. Stacey was addicted to
no bad habits, and had, it is stated,
amassed quite a fortune. His home
life was peculiarly pleasant and in
the village of Clarence no family was
more highly respected than was
Stacey's. Until this tragedy his san
ity has never been questioned, but
now it is thought long hours Of work
and loss of sleep unbalanced his mind,

MR, BAILEY WILL
 BE EXONORATED
Investigating Committee Closed Its Sessions and Report is
 Being Prepared

Austin, Tex, January 1.-The Legislative committee which has been Investigating the charges against Congressman Joseph W. Bailey. regarding his connection with the issuing of permit to the Waters Pierce Oil Company to do business in the State, in vio- laton of the State antitrust law, closed it's sessions today after nearing the-testimony of several witnesses. The committee is pre- raring report which will fully exonerate MT. Bailey.
 District Attorney Cullen F. Thomas tes- tified that while MT. Bailey, deeply inter- ested in the testimony in the criminal cases against MT. Pierce, yet he had seen nothing that would in any way incriminate MT. Bailey.
 Ex-Lieut. .-Gov. Barnett Gibbs was also called by the prosecution, but his testimony was all in MT. Bailey's favor.
 MT. Bailey was placed on the stand and testified for three hours, reviewing the mat ter from beginning to end. He said that he was not acquainted with MT. Pierce prior to last spring, was not interested with him in any particular and his connection with the matter was absolutely barren of any criminal interest or fraudulent purpose. He considered 1t to the interests of Texas that the company do business here, and that he had neither apologies to offer nor any plea to make to those who had fought him so bitterly on political grounds in this issue, but he made the explanation for the benefit of his friends in and out of Texas.

A IBUTE

The committee appointed by the city Democratic executive committee to draft resolutions upon the death of Alderman Syl Daly, a former member of the com mittee, has formulated its report as fol- lows:

 Politically, he was a Democrat, and was always a staunch and faithful member of that party, believing thoroughly in its principles, it seemed not only a duty but a pleasure for him to engage in whatever lioHoTdDle SerNlce us WelIdre required.
 AS citizen, he saw and felt the respon- abilities of citizenship, and was active and earnest in the discharge of his duties as such. He was the most widely known and most popular man within his, the Ninth ward, having been elected twice as a mem- Der of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen from that ward. It is generally known that he had greater personal influence in his ward, and possibly in other wards than al most any single individual in the city.
 Socially, he was oneo the best com panions, loved and enjoyed the companion ship of his friends, and made those around him joyous and happy.
 He was charitable to fault nothing so delighted him as to aid and assist the needy and distressed, and this he always did in an unostentious manner. Charity fell from his hands like the gentle dew from heaven, and was bestowed with that spirit which blessed the giver as well as he who re- ceived.

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
 TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery But Not a Patent
 Medicine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting account of what he considers a remarkable case of acute stomach trouble and chronic dys- pepsia by the use of the new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 He says: 'The patient was a man who had suffered to my knowledge, for years with dyspepsia Everything he ate seemed to sour and create gas in the stomach. He had pains like rheumatism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and dis tress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart became effected, causing palpitation and sleeplessness at night.
 "I gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS an experiment I finally bought a 50 cent pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at drug store and gave them to him. Almost inn mediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes ne was to all appearances fully cured
 There was more acidity or sour wat cry arising no bloating after meals, the ap- petite was vigorous and he had gained be- tween 10 and 12 pounds in weight of solid healthy fesh
 Although stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold in drug stores. yet consider them most valuable addition to any physicians line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to children or invalids or in any condition of the stomach. with perfect safety, being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
 Without any question they the safest, most effective cure for indigestion, biliousness constipation and all derange- ments of the stomach, however slight or severe.'
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by the F. A. Stuart Go. of Marshall Mich, and are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package.
