James Jefferies. the present champion heavywelght of the world, and his gallant opponent. Tom Sharkey, in the greatest pugilistic encounter that has ever taken place, both pursued much the same course of training, and the first and most irn- portart part of this training was to get the stomach in condition. and to keep the digestion absolutely perfect. so that every muscle and nerve would be at it's highest capabilities.
 Tbis was not done by a secret patent medicine, but both of these great pugilists used a we'll known natural digestive tab let sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and composed of the digestive ferments which every stomach requires for healthy digestion.
 Champion Jefferies says: "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acidity, strengthen the stomach and insure per- feet digestion. They keep a man in fine physical condition Signed. James J. Jefferies, champion of the world.
 The gallant fighter, Sharkey. says: "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets remove all discomfort after eating. They rest the stomach and restore 1t to a healthful condition. heartily recommend them. v Signed, Thos J. Sharkey.
 The advantage of the daily use of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets Is that they keep people well and ward off sickness and are equally valuable to we'll persons as to the dyspeptics. Another advantage Is that these tablets contain no cathartics, or poisons of any character. but simply digestive ferments which are found In every healthy stomach, and when diges- ton is imperfect it Is because the stom- ach lacks some of these clements and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets supply It.
 They are no cheap cathartic. but a per- fectiy safe and efficient digestive and the demand for them is greater than the sale of all other so-called dyspepsia cures combined. No remedy could possibly reach such place in public esteem ex- cept as a result of positive merit.
 Full sized packages are sold by all drug gists at 90 cents, and the best habit you can possibly form is to take Stuart Tablet after each meal. They make weak stomachs strong and keep strong stom- achs vigorous. fri-sun.

SAVED BY SMALLPOX.
Negro Under Sentence of Death at
 pesthouse.

NeRf0 U0oef 8outeuCo OL Ooatu ht
 pesthouss.
 If under any circumstances a man can look upon An attack of smallpox as some thing to be grateful for. George Edson is In a thankful frame of mind, suffering as he is from an attack of the disease. Edson's gratitude for his case of small pox comes from the fact that he is sem fenced to hang for the crime of murder
 Edson perhaps would prefer to die Of smallpox rather than by the hangman's rope If the choice was left entirely to him. At any rate he was taken to the pesthouse yesterday with a well develop ed case of the disease.
 Edson Is more than a murderer. He Is a fratricide according to a verdict of a juryf in the City Court. He was con. victed of murdering his brother for the small sum of 60 cents.
 The killing occurred last Octobar at Sunrise" negro netghborhood in the southeastern portion of the city. George Edson had loaned his brother 60 cents. Last July while attempting to collect the debt the two brothers, George Edson and John Edson became involved in difiicul- ty and George Edsen drew a pistol. The shot he fired instantly killed his brother. Q He was tried at the October term of the City Court and the Jury found hi,n guilty of murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to hang on the 18th of March and would have been executed On that day, but his attorneys appealed for a new trial. This appeal Is now pending in the Supreme Court.
 In the meanwhile Edson Is at the pest house with bad case af smallpox and he is perhaps indifferent as to whether he gets we'll or not.

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
OF Physical Manhood.

No form of athletic exercise demands such perfect physical condition as prise fighting Every muscle in the body must be fully developed and supple. and the heart, lungs and stomach must act to perfection.
 Whether we endorse prlze- fighting or not, it is nevertheless interesting to know the manner by which men arrive at such physical perfection
