Lower Main street and a greater part
of Fulton, the extreme eastern section of
the city were flooded. When the freshet
was near its height, fire, caused by the
waters coming in contact with lime, broke

Bitzer's purpose also to take his own
life, but his prompt arrest apparently
prevented him from carrying out this
purpose. He is about 50 years of age.
From a note left in his store by Bit

charged accidentally and the bullet hit
Miss COlumbe in the head, killing her
instantly. Overcome by the accident
Bitter rushed to his home, hatless and

Annie, was wounded through the left

MRS. Bltzer was hit in the face, the
bullet passing through the nose. The
sound of the shots brought neighbors
into the house and Bitter was arrested.
The police believe that Bitter is in
sane. The note which they found in
his store after the affair was almost
an ineoherent tumble Of words. After
telling Of the shooting of Miss Columbe,
Bitter wrote that he had determined
to go to his home and end the lives of
his wife and children and his own. He
asked that at his funeral the hymn
Nearer, My GOO, to Thee" be sung.
Substantially the same story was told
by Bitter after his arrest

Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans, is certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
element and worry of American bust
ness life. it is more often the result Of
weak stOmaChs, OF poor digestion.
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 nerve, the sympathetic and
pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is al
tected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling
of oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure Of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter
fering with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making 1t thin and Watery, which iTri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is TO improve the digestion and
TO insure the prompt assimilation of food
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe. pleasant and
effective digestive preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores, and which
contains valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-

Alleged Thief Who Deserted Wife
Had Prepared to Commit
Bigamy.

Butte. Mont, Dec. 31.-A special to the
Miner from Hamilton, Mont, says 3. X.
Anderson, alias Byron a. Keith, whom
the authorities all over the country have
been on the lookout for for a year past,
was arrested here this afternoon by De-
tective D. G. Charlesworth of the Pinker-
ton agency Of Chicago.
1t is said that Anderson, while telegraph
operator and express agent at Stuttgart,
Ark, about Oct. 1, 1900. stole a package
of currency containing 5000 and mysteri-
ously disappeared. deserving MS wife and
two children. Anderson, it transpires,
arrived in Montana about ten days later.
A few months afterward he went to
Hamilton and invested $500 in sheep,
passing under the name of B. A. Keith.
He bought an interest in a store and
became prominent in social circles and
was engaged to marry a highly respected
young lady here.
The prisoner acknowledges his identity
and has consented to return TO Arkansas
without requisitiOn papers, and will leave
with the officer Thursday.

Reported Offer to Kramer.

Frank Kramer, the famous short dis
lance cyclist, is reported to have refused
an offer Of $4,000 TO ride two months in
Europe, and while the great rider has not
stated his reasons for declining the gen
erous offer, it looks as if the amount was
somewhat exaggerated. Had the offer
been a genuine one there is hardly any
doubt that Kramer would have accepted
inasmuch as he could not under any cir
cumstances have earned such an amount
upon his native heath in at least six
months. Then, again. lie experience Of
other riders who have crossed the pond
has taught the American that it is no
easy matter to win the big end of the
purses, for many reasons, the principal
one of which is the difficulty of being
acclimated, while the men they are called
upon to meet are. as rule, particularly
fast and are shown many favors which
the visitors do not get. There is no de-
nying the fact that there is good money
in sight of the old world races, but in
every case it has fallen far short of $40, 000
Major Taylor. the negro rider, was guar
anteed 5000 for his trip last year. which
sounds quite reasonable, but TO jump the
offer $1,000 for Kramer seems TO be out
of all proportion.

Sent a Brick Through the Window
as His Card.
Parson Davies has just returned to
America, after an extended trip to Eu-
rope in the interest Of a Texas oil con-
Germ. The ''palson" incidentally played
the boxing game as a side issue and in
consequence came home with considerable
cash.
Davies has followed the game probably
as long as any other man living, and in
his time has met with number of funny
experiences. One that Is worthy of men
ton happened in a little town near Chi
cago, and Davies was the main guy in the
Clun that puiicd off the mill -'One-Eyed'
Connolly had made himself such null
sance around the place that Davies de-
cided to bar him and warned the door
keepers not to let him in for love or
money.
Connolly is as slick as an eel when At
comes to sneaking past the dOortenders,
but this night he was caught at every
trick he played. He fingered around the
front door until about time for the night
to begin and then made his way to q side
window. Parson Davies was In the Ing
announcing the conditions OF the even
ing's contest when a brick struck him on
the head Fortunately it dill not hit him
with great force and he was able to dis
Germ the window from which it came.
Looking uD, he saw Connolly making a
fist at him and evidently very angry be-
cause the object thrown did not take the
ton of the parsons head of. The lat
ter. however, was calm and collected. He
walked over TO the side of the ring and,
tapping enc of the ushers on the shoulder,
said in a low tone: Mr.. Connolly has
lust handed me his card. See that he is
passed in and given a good seat. The
crowd was soon onto the parsons" re-
marks. and as Connolly walked gleefully
to his seat he was cheered to the echo.
But the ''parson' only smiled.
