a Popular Remedy For Dyspepsia
Which Has Made Many Remark
able Cures.

The spring OF the year Is the time
for blood purifiers. It Is the season
when we think we must dose our
selves with sarsaparillas bitters and
the endless list ON so called blood
purifiers and nerve tonics.
AS a matter OF fact, there is but one
possible way in which to purify the
blood and that Is, through the stom.
ach and bowels.
Pure blood results from wholesome
food thoroughly dlgested Impure
blood results from poor digestion and
assimilation. When the stomach re-
fuses TO work properly the food re-
mains too long time. fermenting
forming gases, shown by sour, bitter
taste IN the mouth. bloating and belch-
ing Of gas, and distress and discom-
fort generally. Poor blood weak
nerves, sleeplessness and a general
don't care feeling can always be trac-
ed TO imperfect digestion.
This is the reason Why stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets are superior to all
other spring medicines and blood puri-
ders They give perfect digestion,
the food does not lie in the stomach
for hours. They give a vigorous ap-
petite. sound sleep. strong nerves. and
wholesome food we'll digested makes
pure blood, and in no other way can
the blood be purified. The idea that
medicine in itself, will purify the
blood when the stomach and digestive
organs are out OF order is nonsense
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used
by thousands in preference to bit
ters." after dinner pills" and blood
purifiers" because they remove the
cause OF the impure blood, and you do
not have to take them forever to get
results. Dyspepsia is an obstinate
disease to cure and remedy must
oe designed especially for it and
nothing else Cure-alls win not cure
dyspepsia
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
claimed TO cure everything or any
thing except Dyspepsia and stomach
troubles and for that II stands alone
among patent medicines. Anyone suf-
fering from ANY trouble with their d.
gestion will find these tablets will
give immediate relief and a perma-
nent cure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pre-
pared by the r. A. Stuart Co.. Of Mar
shall. Mich, and sold by druggists
everywhere at 80 cents per package.
No dieting nor change Of habits is
required, they digest the food.

AS VIEWED BY A GAMBLER,

The view has been expressed often
that gambling in cotton futures undoes
more fortunes than the gaming table,
and the recent panic on Wall street
has emphasized the fact that cotton
futures speculation is only branch OF
the business. The stock exchange is
as bad, if not worse, than the cotton
market. Pat Sheedy, who is notorious
enough to enjoy the designation OF
''king of the gamblers" declares with
some show of reason that Wall street
does more mischief than all the gam
bling saloons in the world At Buff
falo he is quoted thus:
eff I run bank the fellow that
plays gets fair show. He may put
his money down at Monte Carlo, and
its all his till the little ball drops If
he's gambling in stocks, it's all the
other way. The brokers' on the inside,
and, other things being equal, he'll
get the money anyway.
"The player feeds the kitty before
the game begins. He starts a loser
Now, if he were playing my game he
might break even, but when he plays
the brokers' game he quits loser.
The men who run the game in Wall
street are ''sure thing" gamblers.
They know Just how the cards are go
ing to turn every time.
''The limit is too big, too Wall
street makes criminals out of bankers
and common gamblers out of society
ladies. Yet the game is licensed. II
I ran a game of fare the way Wall
street game is run, I'd either be lynch
ed, jailed or driven out of town"
It is likely that there are many men
on Wall street these days who are il
frame of mind to endorse these sen.
timents While they make no excuse
for the forms of gambling which Mr.
Sheedy would endorse, we think there
is much truth in what he says abou
stock gambling. There certainly ough
to be restrictions that will preclude the
selling of thousands of shares of stock
when the seller has none to deliver

LOOKING AFTER THE FRAUDS

The postofice department has sent
three inspectors to Beaumont, Texas,
for the purpose of investigating alIeg-
ed fraudulent oil companies which are
operating in that section. Complaints
have reached the department that
"paper" oil companies have been or
ganized and that stock in these con-
Germs is being unloaded on the public.
The inspectors have instructions to
make a searching investigation into
the business of all companies of this
character and report Immediately to

SURVEY FOR NEW RAILROAD
To Open Up Large Coal and Timber
Lands In Alabama.

Lands In Alabama.
SCoTTsBoRo, Ala, May 15.-Surveys
are now being made for a branch rail
road from Doran's Cove to the famous
Needmore Cove property, which is on
top of the mountain, z miles northwest
of that point If the road is built on
the west side Of the cove it will tap the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railroad at Bolivar, and on the other
side at Bridgeport. The road will be
built by the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis railway, and will be So miles
in length.
The surveyors are still at work and
have made no decision as to which side
of the cove they will choose. They are
surveying both sides in order to get the
lowest per cent grade. When the road
is built it will open up large field Of
coal and timber land. 1t will touch the
Alger property, consisting of $4,000
acres, on which the outcropping of coal
at one place shows up liz feet
The projectors of the road is the Need
more Coal company, and it is under
guarantee to furnish the Nashville

When it was thought the man-killer
was going to die he sent for his sweet
heart She came, and DIR. Holland, of
the regular army corps, who witnessed
the scene, thus describes it:
Jack wanted her to marry him. but
she refused. She cried a great deal of
the time. and told Jack that she loved
him, but that she had promised her
mother never to marry him as long as
he was an outlaw. He remained silent
a while, and then announced that he
would give up the outlaw business If
she would marry him. The girl seemed
pleased and kissed him. He wanted
her to marry him then, but she insist
ed that time be given in which to
prove that he was speaking the truth.
1t went hard with the outlaw, / could
see that, to have his power overruled by
a woman, but he was madly in love.
So he agreed, and after a hard tuss1e
he recovered and reformed
1t was quite a surprise to the COM
munity when Jack announced himself
a candidate for sheriff of Sedgwick
county at the election in the fall of
1870. To every man from whom he
sought a vote he said:
IF am elected sheriff of this county
there will be no more horses stolen
around these parts.''
OF that the citizens were we'll aware
and they elected him. Shortly after his
election the governor ruled that the
election had not been conducted prop
erly, and appointed the officers then in
to fill the next term. Jack was chta-
grined, but he did not go back to rob-
bing
Later he married the Vigus girl, and
the wedding was a matter of much i'm
portance in Wichita. The bandit, under
the gentle rulings of his wife, COM
pletely reformed, even to drinking.
Their life would have went on very
smoothly, perhaps, had it not been for
the coming of Sam Lee, a former
sweetheart of Agnes. He found that a
big reward was offered for Ledford, but
the officers at Fort Harker did not
know his whereabouts. Lee informed
them and secured $4,000.
The Killing of Ledford.
Capt. Harger, of Company B, Sixth
United States Infantry, with a full
quota of men, came to Wichita one
morning in July, 1871. They found Jack
in a room playing billiards. He was or
dered to come out, but refused. Finally
one soldier slipped in the rear of the
room and shot him in the back. This
enraged the fighter and he ran out into
the street, fighting with two pistols.
He killed four of them before he was
disabled. When removed to the hotel,
he inquired how many he had killed.
In a few days Ledford died. On his re-
volver butts were found 81 tacks,
which, his intimate friends said, indi-
Gated that he killed that number of
men.

That animals shed tears is now fair
ly well established. Lady Burton says
she has seen horses in the Syrian des-
ert cry from thirst, a mule cry from
the pain of an injured foot, and camels
shed tears in streams. A COW, sold by
it's mistress who had tended it from
birth, wept pitifully. A young soko ape
used to cry of vexation if Livingstone
didn't nurse it in his arms when it
asked him to. Wounded apes have died
crying, and apes have wept over their
young ones Slain by hunters. A Chin
panzee trained to carry water jugs
broke one, and feel a-crying, which
proved sorrow, though it wouldn't
mend the jug. Rats, discovering a
young one drowned, have been moved
to tears of grief. A giraffe which a
huntsman's rifle had injured began to
cry. Sea lions weep for the loss of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trickIing from the eyes of a dying
elephant. And even an orang-outang,
when; deprived of its mango, was so
vexed that it took to crying. There can
be little doubt, therefore, that animals
do weep from grief, or pain, or an
noyance.

Reading Aloud I. Beneficial

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as a benefit to persons af-
fected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because in all
cases of lung trouble it is important
for the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filled by
and emptied of air, for the exercise Is
Strengthening to the throat, lungs and
muscles of the chest. Reading aloud
can be practiced by all and besides
being a curative act can be a pleasure
and profit to both reader and hearers.
In this treatment it is recommended
that an overdose of medicine be avoid
ed that the reading be deliberate, with
out being allowed to drag, that the
enunciation be clear, the body be held
in an easy, unstra1ned, upright posi-
ton, so that the chest shall have free
play, and that the breathing be natural
and as deep as possible, without undue
effort.
