Bfsbee Mitchell, alias Joker" Dies
In Town Calaboose. Too Much
LIQUOR The Cause.

Last Friday afternoon Marshal Dale
arrested and put in the town calaboose
4isbee Mitchell, young negro famili-
arly known as "Joker." The negro was
quite drunk and WAS cutting up his an
tics on the streets. 1t seems that the
boy wes idiotic and for some time past
has been one OF the characters Of the
town, drinking all the whiskey that was
given him and then furnishing amuse-
ment for the donors. Saturday morn
ing when Marshal Dale went to the cal
aboese he found "Joker" cold and stiii
In death. 1t is supposed that he died In
fit which was brought on by the large
quality of whiskey which he drank the
evening before. County Judge Martin
was notified but deemed an inquest Un.
necessary and the boy was buried at the
towns expense.

il was impossible for teacher to please
everyone in any community, but this is
not always true, for we feel free to say
that Prof HamricIS has in every respect
pleased each and every one connected
with our school-uot parent or pupil
has aught against him.

INDIANA ASSEMBLY
FINISHES ITS WORK

Indianapolis, March 13.-The Sixty.
second general assembly of the state of
Indiana came to an end at midnight
Monday. Two hundred and thirty-five
bills were passed by both houses and
of these 300 have become laws. About
thirty-five bills vet remain in the gov
ernor's hands. He will have five days
in which to act on them. One of these
is the one requiring foreign corpora
lions to pay ~ incorporation fee on
the amount OF business they have in
force in the state.
OF the bills acted on just before the
close of the legislature the one of prob
ably the widest interest is Senator
Woods medical bill which makes it
unlawful for Christian Scientists and
DowieiteS TO engage in healing or
treating patients without having I'M
dergOne examination at the hands of
the state medical board. The bill will
become a law without the governors
signature.
OF all the measures which passed
both houses there was but one joint
resolution. This authorizes the erection
of a monument in University park in
this city TO the memory of Abraham
Lincoln. The most conspicuous among
the bills vetoed is the Joss bill. provid-
ing for the consolidation of railroads
in Indiana. clearly n corporate meas
ure. An antitrust bill was passed,
and also Il primary election law.

What Their Checks Tell.

A cashier who has business dealings
with many women says that it is inter-
esting to read the history of the times
in the checks which are presented to
him. 1t does not require Il knowledge
of the people to pick out the checks of
the older women from those of the
younger These older women. wives Of
millionaires and multimillionaires,
some of them, were all educated in
plain, old fashioned names were given
to women. There are Mary Ann and
Euphemia Hannah Maria, Sarah Jane.
Phoebe Ann, Rebecca, Martha Ann
and numerous others seldom to be
found now outside old fashioned books
And the checks of the Phoebe AIMS and
Euphemias ii is possible to pick out at
n glance from all the others without
reading because of the writing. 1t is
as old fashioned as the names. The
signatures are written with fine pen
in n delicate, fine hand, small letters,
each standing out distinctly and all
perfectly legible. 1t is different with
the checks of the daughters of the
Mary James and Phoebe AIMS. Their
pames cover most of the space on the
lower edge of the checkS-a big, bold,
up and down hand, so sprawled that it

are short in themselves, Saras and Ma

Mrs. Green. Benue.t.

Mrs. Jonas Green of Manassas, Va,
has bequeathed 500 to the National
American Woman Suffrage association.
The estate that she left is not large,
and 500 is a liberal gift from it. For
years Mrs. Green had attended the
Washington conventions, and her last
appearance in public was at the suf-
frage convention held there last Febru-
airy. She was an ardent advocate of
equal political rights for men and wo-
men and was loyal to her principles
throughout her life. Miss Anthony
feels that Mrs. Green has set fine ex-
ample. Other men and women of mod
crate means would do well to follow it
when they can do so without wronging
their families.-Woman's Journal.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject
We hear much nowadays about
health foods and HYGIENE living,
about vegetarianism and many other
fads along the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
large cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make US be-
lieve that our sturdy ancestors who
lived four score years in robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton must
have been grossly ignorant of the
laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters of diet, and mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats is undou bt-
eddy the best.
AS compared with grains and Vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in highly concentrated form
and is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains
DIR. Julius Remmson on this sub
ject saws: Nervous persons, people
run down in health and of low vital
ity should eat meat and plenty of it.
1t the digestion is too feeble at first
it may be easily corrected by the regu-
lar use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. Two of these excel
lent tablets taken after dinner will
digest several thousand grains of
meat, eggs or other animal food in
three hours, and no matter how weak
the stomach may be, no trouble will
be experienced if regular practice is
made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply the pep
sin and diastase necessary to perfect
digestion, and every form of indiges-
ton will be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
its proper digestion by the daily use
of a safe, harmless digestive medicine
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, COM
DOScQ VI bu0 udLuEd1 0lROot1fO
Piles, pepsin, diastase, fruit acids and
salts, which actually perform the
work of digestion. Cheap cathartic
medicines, incorporating under the
name of dyspepsia cures. are useless
for indigestion, as they have no effect
upon the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply failure of the stomach to di-
gest food, and the sensible way to
solve the riddle and cure the dyspep-
STA is to make daily use at meal OF a
preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets; which is Endorsed by the
medical profession and known to con-
tain active digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's DysPeP-
STA Tablets at so cents for full treat
ment.

The Shirt waist Girl.

The shirt waist girl. like the long
horned deer and the little toe of hui
mainly, is perpetually and perennially
threatened with extinction. But the
shirt waist girl, like the others, just as
perpetually and perennially persists"
as the evolutionary scientists have it.
One of the most interesting phases of
the shirt waist girl question, at least to
the uninitiated observer and admirer,
man, is that which is evidenced by her
perennially changing form. Just at the
present time the newspapers and the
fashion advertisements have acquaint-
ed this peculiar, wondering creature
with the self explanatory phrase,
straight front corset" and every man
Jack and gentleman John in all Chica-
go is smiling and looking wise over the
idea. Many of them will smile less and
look COMPOUNDED when the 1901 shirt
waist girl breaks upon their sight. Sol
ONION in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
And the fashionable form inside of
the fashionable shirt waist of the mo-
ment is as different from that of last
year, from all that have preceded it, as
well. as each one of its predecessors
was different from all the others which
had paved the way for it in other
years.-ChicagO Times Herald.
