In the Orphans Court.

In the orphans court yesterday
Judge A. A. Vosburg heard several
audits and disposed OF a number OF
motions. The estate of Rev. G. NJ
Peck, deceased the audit was continued
until November %. In the estate of
Sabina Matthias, deceased, evidence was
taken to show to whom distribution
should be made under the terms Of the
will. George S. Horn, appeared for the
estate.
In the matter of William Mosier, de-
ceased, evidence was taken to support
the distribution of the fund and de-
cision was reserved. T. T.. Wells and
George $. Horn, appeared for the
parties in interest. The evidence in the
estate of Jessie F.. Tompson, deceased,
was not concluded but will be finished
on November % at 10 a. m.
A large amount of evidence was
taken in the estate of Cornelius Comp
ton, deceased, upon the exceptions filed
to the account of j. j. Compton the ad-
ministrator. 1t is claimed that the adj
ministrator did not account for all of
the money which came into his hands,
and it is also alleged that the money
received by him from the D., l.. & w.
r. r. Mutual Aid society and the
Switchmens union formed no part of
the estate and should not have been
accounted for as such. The eXceptants
argue that this money belonged to the
son 6f the decedent and is not therefore
available for the payment of debts.
Several claims We're also presented, the
largest one being by the accountant for
support of the father of the decedent,
who is his brother, under the terms of
a written agreement between them. The
evidence was not concluded but will
be finished at a later date. The argu-
ment upon the legal questions involved
will be heard on Friday at 10 a. m

Ten more lists of words were received

Presents will be given to the boys or
girls, whose parents or guardians are
subscribers to The Tribune, building
the largest number OF words out of the
letters contained in The Home Paper "
This condition is easily met. If an as
pirant for Christmas present really
believes he stands Il show to win it by
having IL good list of words he should
be able to induce his parents or suardi-
ans to SO act as to place his eligibility
beyond question.
Yesterdays contributions raised the
total number of lists received to sixty
five, which is nearly six day since the
contest opened. Very few if any of this
number have gotten all the words that

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

1t Is easy to keep we'll IL we would
only observe each day u few simple
rules of health.
The all important thing Is to keef
the stomach right and to do this it is
not necessary to diet or to follow a SET
rule or bill of fare. Such pampering
simply makes capricious appetite and
feeling that certain favorite articles
OF food must be avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good adj
vice on this subject; he says: II am
Us years old and have never had n
serious Illness, and at the same time
my life has been largely an indoor one,
but | early discovered that the way
to Keep healthy was to keep a healthy
stomach, not by eating bran crackers or
dieting or any sort. on the contrary
| always eat what my appetite Graves,
but daily for the past eight years /
nave made 1t q practice to take one
or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal and 1 attribute my ro-
bust health for II man of my age to
the regular daily use OF the Stuart's
Tablets.
MY physician first advised Inc to use
them because he said they were per-
fectly harmless and were not secret
patent medicine, but contained only the
natural digestivesA peptones and distaste
and after using them a few weeks 1
have never ceased to thank him for his
advice.
honestly believe the habit of taking
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
is the real health habit. because their
use brings health to the sick and ailing
and preserves health to the we'll and
strong"
Men and women past fifty years of
age need a safe digestive after meals to
insure II perfect digestion and to ward
off disease, and the safest. best known
and most widely used is Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
They are found in every well regu-
lated household from Maine to Califor-
MIA and in Great Britain and Australia
are rapidly pushing their way into pop
ular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. full sized pkgs. at SO cents,
and for a weak stomach a fifty cent
package will often do fifty dollars
worth Of good.

THEY DIDN'T SURRENDER.
Men Who Accidentally Shot Myers
Have Probably Skipped.

Tony Jordan and Tony Ambrose, the
two young men who We're firing at a
target near which Harry Myers passed
when he was fatally shot last Sunday
did not surrender yesterday to the
police as it was expected they would
and efforts to locate them were unsuc-
cessfu. Their friends believe that they
have left the city because of the fear
that serious charge will be lodged
against them. AS the shooting appears
to have been purely accidental it is
not believed that they would be held
on any more serious charge than that
of discharging firearms.
Coroner Saltry said yesterday that
the facts in the case seemed to warrant
an inquest and it will be held later in
