Another important feature developed

region has been lower than the average

economical methods of search are always
resorted to first. Often this method IL
successful, for the foreigners having rela-
tives here scan eagerly all news in their
own papers from this side of the world
III many cases the missing depositors
have come from inland districts. where
there are no telegraphs, no newspapers,
and where no consuls are stationed Then
it is that the primitive methods Of dis
terminating news by means Of the town
crier is resorted to. The village priest,
who weekly reads the news from the pull
pit at Sabbath services, sometimes serves
as an aid in locating heirs 4 missing de-
positors.
One case which occurred only this year
will serve as an Illustration. 1t is of
Finlander who met his death two years
ago in a tenement house fire In New York
He had been in this country for three
years and by hard work he had accumulate
ed nearly S5el. He put 1t in the saw
ings bank one day and the next week
he was burned to death. He had no
friends here as far as could be learned by
the bank officers when the search fer him
was begun six months after his death. He
had an outlandish name and this led to
the discovery of his rightful heir. The
men who had worked with him In the gar
den of large estate near Scarsdale. N
y. remembered the name and the bank
learned OF that. Some months passed with
no further result until one day an officer
OF the bank happened TO be looking at a
large map OF Finland. He discovered on
the map the name of a small hamlet that
bore strange resemblance to that OF the
missing man. The bank wrote to the head
Of the Greek church in Finland stating
the facts and waited. Three months pass
ed and then letter was received from a
priest in this hamlet.
1t said that the mans name was the
name of the hamlet. He. it said. was a
descendant Of a nohleman, who, four CEN
turtles before had been the lord Of the
fief. Yes. the man had gone to America,
but he had never been heard of since. He
had a sister. She was in America living
in New York, not four blocks from the
brother. She was in that city in quest Of
her brother. The priest said that he had
read the notice from his pulpit for month
before any good came OF it, Then a lad.
whose fatt.er had worked in the rye fields
with the missing man, brought the de-
sired news.
The bank officers found the Finnish girl
at the point of starvation and they sent
her home with letter of credit for her
inheritance in her pocket. The president
of the bank then wrote to the priest tell
ing him all about il and not long ago the
president got a letter from Finland tell
ing him Of the safe arrival of the girl at
her home and saying that he would be
mentioned In the prayers at the little
church so long as the good priest remain
ed there.

WONDERFUL CURES
BY SWAMP=ROOT
To Prove What the Word-famous Discovery.
Swamp-Root, Will Do for YOU, All Our Readers
May Have Sample Bottle Free by Mail.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re-
sponsible for more sickness and suffering
than any other disease. and ii permitted to
continue fatal results are sure to fellow.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood
that is their work.
So when your kidneys are weak or out
OF order you can understand how quickly
your entire body is affected, and how every
organ seems to fail to do its duty.
Among the many cures of Dr. Eilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney. liver, and
bladder remedy, investigated by The
Times, the ones which we publish This
week for the benefit of our readers speak
in the highest terms OF the wonderful
curative properties of this great remedy.

A SOUR STOMACH
Is often the Real Cause of II Sour
Temper.

That the condition of the digestive or
gans has marked effect upon the charac-
ter or disposition is a truism as old as
the hills. Old Ben Jonson wisely said
the pleasure of living depends upon the
liver" and 1t is a fact which none may
dispute that sunny disposition more
often results from a healthy digestion
than from any other cause.
Acid dyspepsia. commonly called sour
stomach or heartburn, is caused by slow
digestion of food; instead OF being
promptly digested and converted into
blood. bone, and muscle it lies in the
stomach for hours, fermenting and decay
ing, creating gases which cause pressure
on the lungs and heart, short breath and
general discomfort and irritation.
Such half digested food is indeed poor
nourishment for the body. brain and
nerves, and the result is shown in irrita-
BILE tempers, unaccountable headaches
and that depressing condition usually
called the blues but how quickly all
these disappear when appetite and diges-
ton are restored.
Laxative medicines only irritate the al
ready irritated stomach and bowels and
have no effect upon actual digestion of
food.
The sensible course to follow is to
make use of simple natural digestives like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
until the stomach has a chance TO recu-
perate. M
The natural digestives which every
healthy stomach contains are peptones,
diastase, and hydrochloric and Tactic
acids, and wher any of them are lacking
the trouble begins; the reason Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are so valuable and
successful in curing stomach troubles is
because they contain, in pleasant con-
centrated tablet form all these absolute
ly necessary essentials for perfect diges-
tion and assimilation of food,
Henry Kirkpatrick, of Lawrence, Mass,
says: Men and women whose occupation
preclud,s an active out door life should
make It a daily practice to use Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after meals. l have
done so myself and know positively that
/ owe my present health and vigor to
their daily use.
From the time was twenty-five, when

health from overwork, until / was thirty

irregularity and palpltation OF the heart,
but all this gradually disappeared after |
began using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and / can eat my meals with relish and

The success and popularity OF Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets is enormous, but II Is
deserved and every druggist in the
United States, Canada and Great Britain
has good word for this meritorious
preparation. -

POPULATION BY STATES.
A Resume of the Work Accomplish
ed by the Census Bureuu

The Census ONCE has just published a
very interesting resume OF the results of
its work up TO date. The total population
of the country has been placed at 1926
900. The gain since 1890 amounts to 49,.
225, 464. or about q per cent. The total
is given for the States and Territories;
including Hawaii, but not Porto Rico and
the Philippines. which the Government
does not regard as integral parts of the
United States, but as mere provinces or
dependencies outside of the constitutional
system.
Most of the States and Territories have
grown, while a few have remained sta
tionary or suffered a decline. Nebraska
has made a slight gain, while Kansas has
remained stationary. Nevada lost few
thousand inhabitants. In some States
the increase has been really extraordina-
ry. The following is list of the States.

Sudden Death
OF Mr.. Weston.

Frank H. Weston, draughtsman at
the United States surveyor-generals Of
flee, died at st. Mary's hospital this
morning at o'clock of heart failure.
Mr.. Weston was taken ill about a
week ago with fever and went to the
hospital, Yesterday his physician re-
ported that be was improving, and Mr..
Weston sent word that he would be
back at work next Monday. But during
last night his heart began to fail and
death came to him before he realized it.
The attending Sisters said that he LETT
no message, and as very little is known
OF him at the land office his friends were
at loss to know what to do. II is
known that he has a sister in Hong
Kong, China, and near relative in
San Francisco, but the address and
name of the latter is not known.
The news OF Mr.. Weston's death
brought sorrow to the employees of the
surveyor-general's office, as he was very
popular and efficient in his work. Eff.
forts are being made to locate his rela,
tlves, that word of his sad death may be
sent them. He was about thirty-tive
years of age and unmarried. Six
months ago he came to Tucson and en-.
tered the employ of the government
having previously worked in Phoenix.
The remains we're removed to Miller
undertaking rooms and prepared for
burial, but the interment will not take
place until news is received from the
relatives, and Surveyor General Christ
will make every effort to reach them.
