HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid Increase
of Heart Trouble.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
citement and worry of American business
life, it is more often the result of weak
stomachs, Of poor digestion
Real organic disease is incurable. but
not one case in hundred of heart trou-
bic is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
bic and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogas-
trio,
In another way, also the heart is eff
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food There is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action. hence arises palpita
ton and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making it thin and watery, which irritatc5
and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is TO improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe pleasant and
eective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which may be
found at most drug stores. and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments in a pleasant convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistcnt use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trnubIo pyceDf cancer Of tho SION
ach.
Full sized packages of these tablets sold
by druggists at so cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free. Address, T..

BANK BURGLARS
NEATLY TRAPPED
Leader Put Up a Strong
Fight Before His
Capture

Riley, Kan, Feb. 28.-Early yestor-
day morning a gang Of supposed bank
robbers walked into a carefully laid
trap here and the leader, Frank Whar-
ton, alleged to be an expert safe blow
er, was captured after a desperate
fight in the dark The vault, con
tanning 100000, was untouched. Some
time ago Wharton came to this vlcin-
ity and it is alleged planned with some
local characters to rob the Riley bank.
One of the men, named Johnson, be-
came frightened and notified the Of
ficers. Sheriff D. d. Finney induced
the fellow to 80 ahead with his part
of the program, and on Tuesday he
secretly notified the sheriff that the
raid would take place yesterday morn
ing.
Finney took two deputies. d. NJ. Per-
son and Harry Pugh, and the three Sc
creted themselves in the bank build
ing, leaving the usual light burning.
At 1.30 o'clock Wharton and his COM
panions appeared, accompanied by
Johnson. Guards were posted and the
leader with a short bar, tore the back
door entirely off the hinges. He had
selected Johnson as his assistant.
Drills, dynamite fuses and a full outfit
were carried in and arrangements
made to crack the safe.
The sheriff thought it time TO inter
fere and demanded surrendcr, but
Wharton was not to be taken. His first
move was TO smash the light, and In
the darkness the four men fought. The
robber used his bar and felled the two
deputies before they could get hold OF
him. The officers could not shoot, be-
cause of the danger Of hitting each
other. Johnson finally succeeded in
getting light and Wharton was over
powered and handcuhed lie was TAX
en- to Manhattan and placed in Jail His
companions fed at the first sign oi
danger and have not been captured.

Special to tho Evening Journal.

Special 10 the Evening Journal.
Dover, Feb. 2S.-Lieutenant-Go Governor
Philip l.. Cannon will not be able TO par

Appropriations Affect Philip
pines and Cuba
NOAR VOTES WITH DEMOCRATS
On Philippine Amendment Which Was
Carried BY a VOte Of 45
to %

Washington, Feb 2S.-Not since the
enactment of the resolutions declaring
q state of war to exist between the
United States and Spain has there been
guch an avalanche OF passionate ora
tory as the senate listened to yester-
day. Throughout the session the army
appropriation bill was under discus
sion, the controverted questions being
the Spooner Philippine amendment
and the Platt Cuban amendment. Curl
cusly enough, the debate was confined
entirely to the Democratic side OF the
chamber, with one exception. Both
amendments were denounced asyicious
and pernicious legislation, subversivec Of
the principles of this government and
unparalleled in the history Of legisla-
tive enactments.
The most notable speech Of the day
was delivered by Mr.. Bacon, of Geor-
gia. He had been thoroughly aroused
by reports that the Democratic mem
bers had been induced by questionable
means to withdraw their opposition to
the proposed legislation, and he pas
sionately branded as libel upon hon
orable men and senators any and all
such statements. Personally, he de-
clared, he would defeat the amend
ments If he could, although he realiz-
cd the majority would have to accept
the responsibility for them. His ar
raignment of the administration for
"coercing congress into enacting such
provisions in the closing hours Of the
season" was sensationally fierce, and
he declared that the only possible OBJ
Ject of such action was that the
'plunderers and vultures" might have
an opportunity to prey upon the pros
trate land of the Filipinos.
Senators Turner (Wash), Tillman
Is. CO, Pettigrew (S. d., Hoar
(Mass.), Teller (Colo.), Mallory (Fla.)
Lindsay (Ky.), Culberson CTex.), Jones
(Ark.). Money (Miss) Allen (Neb.)
and others addressed the senate, all OF
them denouncing the proposed legisla-
ticn.
Early in the evening the voting be-
gan on the minor amendments to the
measure. All of them were offered by
Democratic senators and all of them
were voted down by heavy majorities
The Cuban amendment was passed by
k3 to 20.
The Spooner amendment was adopt
cd by As to 25. Senator Hoar voted
with the Democrats.
During the early part of the day the
conference report upon the fortifca-
items appropriation bill was accepted
By the senate.
The house had a busy day of rou-
tine, agreeing to the conference reports
on the fortihcation, District Of Colum-
bia and the military academy bills, the
last named containing the anti-hazine
legislation. The naval appropriation
bill was sent back to conference, after
the defeat of a motion to concur in the
renate's provision for three more sub
marine torpedo boats. The Louisiana
purchase exposition bill, which has
been in a precarious parliamentary
state, was finally sent to conference
for an adjustment of differences. Sew.
eral bills for statues were disposed OF
by parliamentary manouvers. The
revenue cutter bill also received a re.
verse, the house adjourning when ar
effort was made to take it up.
