BE SURE THEY ARE RIGHT.
Judge Speer Advises Deputies Not to
Exceed Their Authority.

Adam and Ben Avinger, two negroes
and brothers. were tried in the United
States District Court yesterday morning
for the offense of Illicit distillng and
found not guilty by the jury. The men
were found and arrested near an Illicit
still in Emanuel county. and this fact
constituted the greater part of the evil
dence adduced at the trial.
1t transpired in evidence that the dep
uty marshals making the arrest had no
warrant for the arrest of the defendants
and that the men had resisted. In deliver
ing his charge to the jury Judge Speer
took occasion to comment upon the safe
guards with which the law environs the
personal liberty of citizens, and warned
the deputies not to attempt arrests, I'M
less they were armed with warrant or
were witnesses to the actual commission
of the crime.
Judge Speer said it might well happen
that officers of the law, in overstepping
their legal rights in making arrests,
might be attacked and wounded by those
whom they sought to arrest. and there
would be no legal redress. 1t was i'm
portant, said. the court, for. officers to be
, certain they were well within their legal
rights before attempting the arrest OF a
person accused of crime. 81 am explicit

STRANGER THAN FIG
TON.
A Kennedy Which Has RevOIutioniE-
ed the Treatment of stomach
Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as a won
derful discovery, nor yet a secret patent
medicine neither is il claimed to cure any
thing except dyspepsia, indigestion and
stomach troubles with which nine out OF
ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozengeS, containin g
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin government test) golden seal and
diastase. The tablets are sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. Many interesting experiments
TO test the digestive power of Stuart s
Tablets show that one grain of the active
principle contained in them is sufficient
TO thoroughly digest 5000 grains of raw
meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
Stuarts Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and in
flame the intestines without having any
effect whatever in digesting food or cur
ing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and assist
ed in the work of digestion it will very
soon recover its normal vigor, as no or
gan is so much abused and overworked
as the stomach.
This is the secret, if there is any secret,
of the remarkable success of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets. a remedy practically I'M
known few years ago and now the most
widely known of any treatment for stom-
ach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon its merits as a digestive pure and
simple because there can be no stomach
trouble if the food is promptly digested.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely
on the food eaten. digesting it completely,
SO that it can be assimilated into blood,
nerve and tissue. They cure dyspepsia,
water brash, sour stomach. gas and bloat-
ing after meals. because they furnish the
digestive power which weak stomachs
lack and unless that lack is supplied 1t is
useless to attempt to cure by the use of
tones" pills" and cathartics which
have absolutely no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
at all drug stores and the regular use OF
one or two of them after meals, will dem
onstrate their merit better than any other
. argument.

fIOH the chicago chronicle,
That Chicago ever boosted a donkey
who was for several years regular
patron of a saloon has never been record
ed. Such is a fact, however. Several
years ago a saloon widely known among
the toughs and FOUNDERS of the West
Side was located on Canal street near
the corner of Madison. The saloon own
ed by one Charles Venn. was called THE
Shamrock" and 1t was notorious as a
lettering place for all the outcasts of the
district. The heaviest drinker OF the en-
tire list OF patrons was a donkey, who
lived and died under the roof of the grog-
shop. In fact. he actually drank himself
to death. The saloon was IN a large. how
building. In front Of the bar was an area
way covered with sawdust, and here the
FOUNDERS gathered to keep company with
the strange donkey every night.
The animal was so trained that when
ever he had a thirst he would walk up to
the bar and bray. In response to the re-
quest a large schooner of beer was set on
the bar. which the animal would drain
to the last drop. II was no curiosity for
the majority who saw the performance,
for they were as accustomed to see the
donkey drink as they were to drink them
selves. The donkey made himself at
home in the saloon and finally died in Q
delirium.
He was given a civilized burial and his
friends placed on his grave this placard:
Here lies Bin the donkey full OF beer.
May he float to heaven on the foam with
In him"
After the donkey died the saloon lost It's
attraction and within few weeks the
proprietor was forced to close the doors

hands. shook them warmly beamed upon
her. and said he was so glad 20 have
the pleasure OF meeting her again; he re-
membered so perfectly how Ill she was
the last time he had met her; she was
such a sufferer from neuralgia and the
main was intense that night. Was she bet
Ter now? She replied that she felt very
well indeed, and that she was most happy
to see him again.
Then the buzz began. What genius
