has been reported that the young Consul

of his office as a representative OF the

in placating them by the story of the ex-

this city and begged for protection last
night. 1t was the sensational ter

which Scalfla had been followed for
three months and had visited the prin-

taken to the Harrison ST. station, where
Segio told his story. Three months
ago, he said, Scaltia was arrested in
Indian Territory ON the charge of IL
legally selling whisky. After spending
month in Jail he appealed to Seglo,
friend and business man Of South

Scalfia that the firm he represented

hand and notwithstanding the fact
that If Scalfia Is returned to Indian

Heart trouble at least among the
Americans Is certainly increasing ana
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life 1t is more often the re
suit Of weak stomaehs, Of poor di-
gestion.
Real organic disease Is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion Is because
both organs are controlled by the
same great nerves the Sympathetic
and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is
affected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half diges led food. There is a
feeling of opp ession and heaviness
in the chest ctused by pressure Of
tie distended ifomach on the heart
and lungs, int Hering with their ac-
ton; hence (s 'palpitation and

blood, making it 1ni and watery,
which irritates aud weakens the
heart. OK ~ i'if
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the di-
gestion and to insure the prompt as
similation of food,
This can be done by the. regular
use after meals Of some safe. plea
SAINT and effective digestive prepara-
tion like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which may be found at most drug
stores, and which contains valuable,
harmless digestive elements in a plea

persistent use of stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except can

THE MUD
And Lackof Paved
Streets
Are a Bar to Barberton's
Growth.
Promoters Notice II When Look.
ingFor Locations.
Especial Correspondence.)

Barberton Dec. 27.-The mud Is again
and yet again, the subject of a great
deal of heated argument among the
residents and the legislators of this
place. There are about four months
out of each year when Barberton
streets are in such condition, that the
teaming that is necessary to the growth
of the place is almost impossible, and
the principle streets almost bottomless
The street car tracks are the only SOL
id portions Of the thoroughfares and
teams founder through the mass of
mud on each side.
There have been numerous agitations
to pave the streets. The great major
ity of Barberton's citizens have be-
lieved it necessary, and the prelim-
mary legislation has been taken UP by
the village council again and again,
only to be sidetracked before any ac-
tual paving was done.
Barberton has had many promoters
of industry as her guests during the
past few months. Representatives of
industries large and small have been
there with n view to rnding loca-
tion.
1t is stated by some. of Barberton's
business men wLo have been approach
ed with reference to locations, that
one of the principal drawbacks that is
mentioned by the visitors, is the terri
BILE condition of the streets, and the
lack of any paving. Great things are
expected oil the first council that shall
be elected after the change from vii
lage to city. Among the things that
they are expected to accomplish. is the
paving of the streets whose general bad
condition has eaused mitch inconven-
ience and hard work in the past.
