MAY GET SWIFT JUSTICE.
Two White Men May Be Lynched for
s.thc Usual Crime.'

BLUEFIELD. w. VA. September So
Especial -Sheriff John Fleming and
Commonwealth s-Attorney j. c. Smith,
Of Dickinson county, Va, passed
through this city having in charge j.
W. and J. E. Mullins, who are charged
with assault upon Miss Sallie Wallace
and her 17-year-old sister, Cora. It is
alleged that the young ladies, who are
of one of the most prominent families
in Dickinson county, had started on a
visit to a neighbor, when they were
made improper proposals to by the Null
Inns boys. On being repealed they then
forced their foul desires and the young
ladies were considerably injured. The
cries. from the ladies attracted several
men, who reached the scene just in time
to see the criminals make their escape
through the woods. a mob pursued them,
they We're successful in reaching the
West Virginia State line. They found
work at WEIGH, where they were tried
and heavily fined on a minor charge.
Sheriff Fleming hearing of them In
this section. secured requisition papers
and hurriedly went to WEIGH. where the
prisoners were promptly delivered to
him. They were heavily chained to-
gether-hand and foot-and much fear is
entertained that an reaching the scene
of their crime they will be lynched. Feel
ing is high against the prisoners. and it
is claimed that a clear case can be proved
by a number of witnesses who saw them
dash from their fearful crimes to evade
being lynched.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy which Has Revo1utionize

a Remedy Which Has Revo1utionized
The remedy is not heralded as Won
derfuI discovery nor yet secret patent
medicine, neither is it claimed to cure
anything except dyspepsia, Indigestion,
and stomach troubles with which nine
out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form Of pleasant
tasting tables or lozenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aSep-
tic pepsn government tesD, golden seal,
and diastase. The tablets are sold by
druggists under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting
experiments to test the digestive
power of Stuart's Tablets show that
tanned in them is sufficient to thoroughly
digest 5000 grains of raw meat, eggs,
and other wholesome food.
StuartS Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after-dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and in
flame the intestines without having any
effect whatever in digesting food or
curing indigestion
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover its normal vigor, no
organ IS SO much ABUSED auQ OVeTWOTh0U
as the stomach.
This is the secret if there is any Sc
cret, Of the remarkable success of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. remedy
practically unknown few years ago
and now the most widely known Of any
treatment for stomach weakness
This success has been secured entirely
upon its merits as a digestive pure and
simple because there can be no stomach
trouble if the food is promptly digested
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely
on the food eaten, digesting. it com
pletely, so that it can be assimilated into
blood, nerve, and tissue. They cure
dyspepsia, water brash, sour stomach,
gas and bloating after meals. because
they furnish the digestive power which
weak stomachs lack, and unless that
lack is supplied it is useless to attempt
to cure by the use of "tonics.'' pills"
and cathartics, which have absolutely
no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drugstores, and the regular
use of one or two of them after meals
will demonstrate their merit better than
any other argument
