Guard Your Health In Fall and Early
Winter.

Guard Your Health In Fall and Early
change from warm to cold is al
ways attended with more danger than
from a cold to a warm temperature.
hence the greater mortality from
lung and threat diseases at this sea
son of the. year as compared with
spring.
The best protection against colds
is not so much in extra clothing as in
good digestion.
Ii the digestion and circulation are
good, colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circula-
ton of the blood and when in this
condition severe colds are contracted
on the slightest provocation.
People who made a regular practice
of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals are free from colds, sim
ply because their digestion is perfect
the heart strong sand regular, and the
whole system fortified against dis
ease
1t requires little argument to con-
vince anyone that the best safeguard
against colds, pneumonia and changes
of temperature is a good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals are dissolved and ming
ling with the food cause it to be
promptly digested and assimilated F.;
they do this because they contain
nothing but harmless digestive ele-
meats which digest meat, eggs and
other food even when the stomach
itself is weak and flaccid.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make
people well and keep them well, and
the best habit you can acquire is to
keep daily use of them at meals to
make the digestive organs strong and
vigorous.

TOUCHES UNCLE SAM
Fred OhIardt, Davenport Post
office Clerk, Held to Federal
Grand Jury.
YOUTH HAD BEEN ROLLING HIGH
Salary Not Sufficient 10 Meet
Expenses, SO He Turns
Thief.

Fred Ohlandt. the Davenport post
Office clerk who was caught robbing
the stamp box, was taken before
United States Commissioner A. G
Bush yesterday afternoon. He waived
examination and was bound over 70
the fe1eral graud jury. the bond be-
ing fixed at 81 600 George Mengel
signed the bond The case will prob
ably be taken to the central division
of the southern district OF Iowa,
which holds court at Des NJ ines
Should the case go to Keokuk it will
not come up for trial until next May
b at if it is tried at Des Moines it will
obably be taken up this fall.
There is considerable sympathy for
Ohlandt among his associates. but
they all admit that he has been a very
foolish youth. He is minor, but too
old for the reform school and so If he
gets sentence a all it will either be
q fine or the penitentiary.
Caught sd-Handed.
Ohlandt, who is 10 years of age.
and who is cf1icially known at
the office as the "stamper, was
caught red handed. Circumstances
pointed so strongly to the young man
that he was given charge cf the
stamp till for a time. and watched.
Superintendent of Carriers James
Farraud saw him take something
from the stamp box. and he immedi-
stely reported the fact to Postmaster
Metzger by telephone. Postmaster
Metzger went at once to his office and
called for the lad. When confronted
with the accusation Ohlandt broke
down and confessed, giving back the
exact amount the stamp box Was
short. He also confessed to stealing
S. from drawer Sunday. but
could not return the money, as be had
"blown" it in Sunday night between
the hours Of 10 p. m. and a. m
Monday.
High Roller.
The lad has been in the employ
ment of the postoflice for about a
year, but has been q regular clerk
only since last July. For some time
| it was known that he was living the
life OF high roller About two months
ago Postmaster Metzger called Oh
l4ndt in his private office and talk I'd
to him kindly but forcefully about
the life he was leading. telling him
, shat he would have to discharge him
IL he did not turn over new leaf.
Ohlandt broke down and began to
cry, promising to do better He did
seem to be keeping his promise. but
soon it was discovered that in stead of
disappearing at resorts on the Iowa
side of the river, he had transferred
the scene to Rock Island. and was
travelling as fast pace here as he
had done in Davenport. For some
time money bad been missed at the
postoflice. Most of it was taken from
the stamp department, and the loss
fell upon those who were in charge at
the lime the money was taken. so
that some salaries received quite a
decspitation when accounts were bal
anced. 1t is believed that thr ugh
the operations Of Ohlandt the EN-.
ployes of the Davenport post Hi ,e are
our qu tie q large sum. The lads
downfall is due to drinking and diss:
patton in other ways. There is a
maximum penalty of a S. 90 fiue
and five years imprisonment for the
crime of which he is charged.

ABOUT THE THEATRE.


An elaborate and gorgeous scenic
production of the ministers Son, "
with w. B. Patton as ''Simon Ray"
will be the offering at Harper's thea
tire Sunday. While this is strictly q
high class attraction in every sense
of the word and not of the blood
curdling melodrama order that SO
freq1ently appear at popular priced
houses, it is one of those quaint, odd
plays that appeals to the masses, a
play for the people.
The Andrews Opera company. well
known to local fame, is up against
it again in Kansas City. Ii there is
any kind of trouble that the Andrer 5
folks have not had, Just meptior it
and they are sure TO getit. JuS now
they are all mixed up 1in' 1cially.
This is not a new state of .(airs for
the Andrews brothers; dopotless they
would feel lonesome if ttey had not
some kind of pecrniary row on
their hands. 1t seems one of the
partners of the concern, a Mrs Lydia
Rees, claims George Andrews is the
wicked villain of the piece. George
was Just cut out for that. Mrs Rees
claims as treasurer of the company
she was obliged to give $40 0I0
bond to hold her position, but was
never allowed to handle any of the
funds. The company now owes her
SO 900. and recently the recreant
George sold a half interest in the con-
cern. regardless of his copartners,
for $3.50. The theatre people where
the company has bsen playing dc
clare they have forfeited their lease.
The. chorus girls are indignant be-
cause they were paid off with checks
drawn on bank where the company
has never had an account, and the
stage hands are making a row be-
cause they never have been paid off
at all. Jay C. Taylor is still fai hful
to the company, but his voice was
tired ont by seven performances per
week, and Stevens, the baritone, was
i'll, so saturdays performances were
declared off. Manager Andrews says
his company will continue playing
and Mrs Rees says may be it won't
Time will tell what fortune will deal
out to the Andrews next. Ed An
drews is still the comedian of the
show. 1t must have been one of
his Jokes to require a $40. 600 bond
from the treasurer of the company.

At first he will not know what is want

when he finds the morsel still beyond

will soon associate the work speak"
