ANARCHIST PAPERS FOUND

Paterson. N J, according to dispatches
received today from BUenos AyTes, Ar
gentina. The evidence, the dispatches
say. was found in papers seized by the
police Of the town of Rosario, In the
Province Of Santa Fe.
The seizure was the result Of an in
vestfgation made when word was re
cefred from Berlin that the police there
had discovered a plot to assassiuate the
Emperor, and that an Anarchist named
RomagnoI had been arrested as the
man selected to carry out the plan
Argentina detectives Immediately
started to trace RomagnoH They found
that he had come from Rosario The
raid upon the Anarchist quarters fol-
lowed, and important papers were
seized.
The papers showed that Romagncli
was acting under instructions from
Paterson, n. J. He received letter
from the Jersey town telling him that
he had been chosen by lot to kill the
German Emperor. and instructed him tC
go Immediately to Berlin He left Ro-
sario soon afterward and sailed from
Ruenos Ayres-
He did not so directly to Germany.
but to Rome, where, it is supposed, he
communicated with Italian Anarchists.
He then came to New York apparently
to receive final instructions from the
leaders in Paterson. He returned to
Argentina again, and held communica-
ton with his friends He then sailed
fer Germany, where he was arrested
before he could execute his orders.
The only Anarchist named Romagnoh
known in Paterson, n. J., is August
Romagnoli. who lived at No T09 Court
land Street. West Hoboken. He is there
at present. and has not been out Of the
country in many months. He has never
been in South America, and never
heard Of the man bearing his name ar
rested in Germany.

The spring of the year is the time for
blood purifiers. 1t is the season when we
think We must desc ourselves with sar-

so-eaiied blood purifiers and nerve tonics-
As q matter of fact. there IS but one
possible way ia which to purify the blood
and that IS through the stomach and bow

This is the reason why Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets are superior TO ali other
spring medicines and blood purifiers
They give perfect digestion: the food does
not lie in the stomach. fer hours. They
give a vigorous. appetite. sound sleep,
strong nerves. and wholesome food well
digested makes pure blood and in no
other way can the blood be purified. The
idea that q 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
thouSa nds In preference to "bitters, 'taf-
ter dinner pills and blood purifiers
because they remove the cause of the i'm
pure blood, and you do not have TO take
them forever to get results Dyspepsia
is an obstinate disease to cure and rem
edy must be designed especially for 1t
and nothing else. Cure-alls will not cure

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
claimed to cure everything or anything
except Dyspepsia and stomach troubles,
and for that Il stands alone among pat
euT medicines Anyone suffering from any
trouble with their digestion VIII find these
tablets VIII give Immediate relief and a
permanent cure
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets are prepared
by the T. A Stuart Co, Of Marshall,
Mich. and sold by druggists everywhere
at 80 cents per package No dieting nor
change of habits is required: they digest
