James Jeffres, the present champion heavy
weight of the world, and his gallant opponent,
Tom Sharkey, in the greatest pugilistic en-
counter that has ever taken place, both pur-
sued much the same course of training, and
the first and most important 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
dts highest capabilities.
This was not done by secret patent medi-
cine, but both of the great pugilists used
druggists under of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and composed Of the digestive fer
ments which every stomach requires for
healthy digestion. aEtf -
Champion Jeffries says: ''stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets prevent ,acidity, strengthen the
stomach and insure perfect digestion They
keep a man. in fine physical condition" /"
Signed, James J. Jeffries champion of the
world.
The gallant fighter sharkey, says: "stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets remove all discomfort after
it to a healthful condition I heartily recon-
mend them Signed Thos. ]. Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is that they keep people
valuable to well persons as to the dyspep
ties. Another advantage is that these tablets
! contain no cathartcs or posons of any char
acter but simply digestive ferments which are
gestion is imperfect it is because the stomach
lacks some of these elements, and Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic,s but perfectly
safe and efficient digestive, and the. demand
for them is greater than the sale of all other
sp-called dyspepsia cures combined, No rem
edy could possibly reach such a place in
public esteem except as result Of positive
merit. s3 vs.
F'ull-sized packages are sold by all druggists
al 90 cents, and the best habit you can pos
sibly form is to take Stuart Tablet after
each meal. They make weak stomachs strong

the withdrawal of the largest transporta-
tion companies. :
The announcement is made at Dawson
by the Alaska Commercial company.

tinued.

POOL OF LAKE VESSELS
OUTSIDE THE STEEL CORPORATION
Sequel to the Recent Collapse of the
Combination of Ves-
selmen.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, March 21.--The collapse of the
vesselmen's combination in it's fight with
the steel trust over freight rates on iron
ore has been quickly followed by propo-
sition to unite in pool the greater num-
ber Of the ships outside of the steel trust
and other mining companies, with head
quarters at Cleveland. Offers have been
made to vessel owners around the lakes
to charter their boats to the pool at an
agreed price If a pool is formed. Most OF
the big vessel owners in Cleveland are in
the deal and will form the executive COM
mittee of the combination.
Every effort is being made to keep ships
out OF service until May 1, in order to
lessen the carrying capacity of the lake
fleets for the season. The collapse Of the
combination, 1t is charged, was directly
due to the bad faith Of Cleveland vessel
Owners.

Joseph Hopkins Choice Was to

PISTOL BRINGS REVELATIONS
Fatal Quarrel Tends to Establish
y Chicago Man as Church Pillar
and Bank RObber.

Special to Tho Journal.
Chicago, March 21.--A bullet wound
suffered in an early morning brawl
prompted police investigation that has
disclosed a Jekyll and Hyde career. Jo-
seph Hopkins was shot by Daniel kipley
in a quarrel in the latter's fiat and is re-
ported dying. nr.-
Palos Park respected Joseph Hopkins
until last night "Levee" resorts knew
him as a good spended. Police hunted
for him as a safe blower. In pretty
suburban home Dr. Jekyll lived as a
well-to-do churchman. In Twenty second
street resorts Mr.. Hyde bought wine.
When the combination man was not pray
ing or spending he was looking longingly
through bank windows, the police say,
and occasionally plunging into vaults and
cracking safes. Besides, they declare, he
is an eX-cOnvict with a number of aliases.
Incidentally Mrs. Joseph Hopkins led
In Palos Park society: policeman says
her real name-that Is, her more proper
name-is Blonde Marie" All these
revelations have started a suburb and
shocked Chicago's bad lands. ...
The quarrel with Kibley followed an all
night drinking excursion. Hopkins Is con-
nected with the $4,000 postot1ce stamp
robbery, it is suspected. Police had been
hunting for him for some time for other
alleged crimes. .&
Hopkins went SO far as to pay $25 for
new altar in the church. He owned his
own home and had installed the only gas
plant in his home in the town. He owned
fast horse and was respected citizen.
Although some Of the mans actions have
been looked upon as suspicious, the citi-
zens of Palos Park thought Hopkins moth
ing but Chicago man living there.
The man Is an electrician, but he does
not work at his trade as far as the po-
lice know His hands are as soft as a
woman's, but these things the people OF
Palos Park did not notice. They saw a
big, good man of more than ordi-
nary intelligence who always paid his
bills, attended to his own business and
took care OF his home. In this way Hop
kins tricked the citizens of the park

Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D., March N.-Albert Saun-
ders, who has been in jail here some
months on charge Of forging $400
check at Casselton, was taken before a
justice and arraigned on similar charge
preferred by Cashier Sherman Of the
bank at Tower City. This was done in
case Saunders escaped conviction in the
district court on the first charge, which
is to be tried this week. Saunders pur-
chased horses over the country and after
| making a deal would request the owner
to identify him at the bank SO checks
for large sums could be cashed. It Is
said he operated similarly in Kentucky,
and one Of the witnesses here testified
| that the defendant has been under arrest
there as J. H. Burton.
Later-Saunders pleaded guilty this
morning and was sentenced to Ave years
| in the penitentiary.
