stantiated Policeman Wyatt. Tho result
was that Mr.. Wyatt found himself alone.
There were some vague run1ors OF pos
slb!e action against him. It became ne
cessary for him to vindicate himself, to
show to the public that he was right
when he maintained that gambling had
been permitted and could be stopped
He did it And for him that was the
end. To-day no man in this city speaks
more highly OF the personal character
of some OF the gamblers than does Mr..
Wyatt: there are only a few OF the
gamblers who have anything but a kind
word for him But the end has come.
Mr.. Wyatt Is vindicated and that is all.
Personally Mr.. Wyatt is a man who
at times talks a great deal: at other
times. when any information might cause
justice to uliscarry. he says nothing. 1t

thirty-eight or forty years. he Is mar

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself OF Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down to First
Principles.

A man Of large affairs IN ono OF our
prominent eastern cities. by too close at
tention to business. too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally began
to pay natures tax. levied IN the form
of chronic stomach trouble: the failure
Of his digestion brought about nervous
irritability, making It impossible to ap-
ply himself to his daily business and
finally deranging the kidneys and heart.
In his own words he says: II consulted
one physician after another. and each
one seemed to understand my case. but
all the same they each failed to bring
about the return OF my former dises-
ton. appetite and vigor. For two years
I went from pillar to post, from one sanI-
tarium to another l gave up smoking.

daily glass or two OF beer, but without
any marked improvement.
Friends had often advised mo to try
weII-known proprietary medicine
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments OF the remedy. but never took any
stock In advertised medicines. nor could
believe a 5O-cent patent medicine would
touch my case.
ITO make a long story short, I finally
bought couple OF packages at the near
tablets after each meal and occasionally
a tablet between meals. when I felt any
feeling Of nausea or discomfort.
II was surprised at the end OF tho Hrst
week to note a marked Improvement In
my appetite and general health and be-
fore the two packages were gone I wa,
certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
was going to cure completely. and they
did not dlsappoiat me- can eat and

SAID NOTHING

About this time there came rumors OF
promotion for Mr. Wyatt Public senti-
nrent said Yes. promote Mr.. Wyatt y
And still Mr.. Wyatt had nothing 70 say
Friends who had only shaken hands be-
fore. began to fawn now; Mr.. Wyatt was
a man OF some consequence. He had done
more IN q few weeks than the Police De-
partment had done in twenty years in
the way of convicting the gamblers
Before this metamorphosis had come to
pass. Mr.. Wyatt had been releyet of
regular duty and had donned his citi.
zen's clothes. In this guise he began TO
reap harvest OF Witnesses He had 1O3
on his list when he had finished One of
them was Sunday school teacher,
another was scholar in the class which
the Sunday school teacher taught. And
as the harvest Of witnesses grew. Mr..
Wyatt spoke.
I'm convict them ALL" he said.
Witnesses began swarring around Mr..
Wyatt, Commemorative Attorney Rioh-
ardson and specially engaged attorney.
Mr. John Garland Pollard: They begged
for the suppression Of all names. Re-
porters who worked on the gambling
cases were begged not to mention names.
And Mr. Wyatt said he couldn't help II.
and kept being busy.
4 month before the final pleading OF
the gamblers an attorney interested In
the case stated that the gamblers would
plead guilty and take almost any fine. if
the TAIL sentence OF two months. the
smallest possible under the charge In the
first warrant, was removed in some WAY.
When finally it was found that this
could be removed by swearing out new
warrants, the new warrants were sworn
out the prisoners pleaded guilty, and
the gamblers were sentenced to day
In jail. They went there at o'clock
and left there at midnight; they held a
reception
WHY HE DID TT.
That is what Mr.. Wyatt has done.
The story Of why he did it may be
interesting In this connection. Several
months ago, about April 1t was, Mr.
Wyatt stated to q friend that he had
received orders not to raid gambling
places without the order Of his captain:
that he could convict every gambler in
Richmond II allowed to do so. Three
months later this statement was print
ed, Mr. WAITS name not being given.
Then about the time the special Grand
Jury became living. breathing presence
the man who was responsible for the
publication was called before the Grand
Jury and required to give his mforma-
ton.
Then. when the Grand Jury had finish
ed with this man, there was a special
meeting OF the Police Board to hear the
story. Under protest, and acting under
the advice of Judge Witt in Hastings
Court. the same facts were told to the
Police Board There Mr.. Wyatt repeat
cd to the Board what he had said to the
man who was responsible for the publ

licemen had received the same order.
