SAYS HE KILLED HER
But He Did Tito Put Her Out Of
Misery.
WIFE HAD FALLEN FROM ALoFT
Crown May Not BE Able to Prove
Wilful Murder Against u
Manitoba Man.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man, March 3.--An inquest
was held at Stuar:burn Saturday on the
remains of Mrs. Solomon, who was found
dead, evidently having been brutally muir
dered, as her head had been battered with
club or blunt instrument into almost
unacceptable form. The evidence, while
1t went to show that the woman had been
killed by her husband, was not by any
means clear that he was a Wilful murder
er. The two had not been happy to-
gether and the husband had frequently
suggested to his wife that she should
commit suicide or leave him forever. He
had also threatened her on various occa-
sions.
According to the prisoners statement,
on his return from from visit to a
neighboring town he found his wife in a
dying condition in the stable, she having
fallen from the hay loft She was in
great pain and he killed her to put her out
of her misery. This statement is not I'M
supported by other evidence, and the
crown attorney has doubts as to whether
wilful murder can be- proved against Sol
ONION.
The coroner's jury, however, returned
the verdict that Mrs. Solomon came tc
her death through violence from the hands
| of her husband, Usup Solomon
| The prisoner, was brought to the pro-
vincial Jail here, where he will be KEEP
until arrangements have been made fol
| his preliminary trial.

FEAR FOR MULES
Beers May Attack Purchasing De
pot at New Orleans.


pot at New Orleans.
-Ne,o Horz, sam Special Service
New Orleans, March 3.-Secretary Of
State Hay has written to Mayor Capde-
vile and Governor Heard expressing the
fear that the Boer representatives and
sympa thizers in New Orleans might at
tack the British horse and mule quarters
at Fort Chalmette, just below the city,
where the mules and horses are kept
awaiting shipment to the British army in
South Africa.
General Pearson, the BOer agent at
New Orleans, after the failure of his suit
in the United States court to break up the
mule shipment business, wrote a personal
letter to President Roosevelt on the sub
ject, in which he protested against the
British being allowed to use the United
States as the base of their war supplies.
The letter was so emphatic in denounc-
ing the mule depot at Port Chalmette as
to fill Secretary Hay with the belief that
General Pearson intended to organize a
force to attack the depot. He accord
ingly wrote to Mayor Capdeville, express
Ing his apprehension and asking him to
assure the British officers that the mule
depot was within the limits of st. Ber-
nard parish, where Mayor Capdeville is
wholly without power of authority The
mayor accordingly referred the communi-
cation to Governor Heard and he sent it
to Sheriff NuneZ of st. Bernard. The lat
ter has announced his intention to allow
no fights or other trouble in his parish
growing out of the Boer- British diff
Guilty, although he thought the secretary
of state unnecessarily alarmed. AS pre-
caution, however, he arrested two Boe1
agents, who were found in the neighbor-
hood OF the mule depot, and they were
warned to keep away from there.

Washington, March S.-The attitude of
the civil servi he commission toward the

has been defined in letters Commissioner
Foulke has sent to Postmaster ,McMichael
and r. Francis Wood, both of Philadel-
phia, in which he says:
we object to certain solicitations for con-
tributions, made by those in authority, be-
cause they are. in effect, coerclng the po~
htical action of employees; but would it not
also be coercing their political action to tell
them that they should not contribute and
that they must take part whatever in a
campaign? | have in years past always given
a modest contribution for political purposes,
and l shall not cease to do so in the future
because L hold office; but I do not intena
: to give any more or less that account
and / do not want my example to be con-
strued as an intimation to any employe of this
oftlce that he is to give or not to give or tina,
he Is not as free to give to the democratic
fund as he is to the republican fund, or tina,
he may not as freely give to the faction OPP
posed to me in my own party as to the fac
ton not opposed to me, if he desires. AS
to campaign contributions, it seems to me
that the purpose Of the law is to see that
they are really voluntary and not actually or
implicitly coerced; and seems to ME the pur-
pose of the law is that man should be
free to do what he likes in office as we'll as
out of it, with the Limitation that it must
not interfere with his official duies.

but Without good Erur
When Bobhe Burns sang
'sThe heart ayes the part aye
That makes us right or wrang,"

he referred to the mythical seat of the emo
tons, but the lines are quite applicable to the
bundle of muscles that every moment Of our
lives pumps the blood current throughout our
bodies and only entirely rests with that last
long sleep that knows no waking.
The heart, so small that a cat could eat it
at one meal, forcing the blood stream around
its current moves approximately about two
barrels Of blood every hour or nearly six
tons Of blood each day, averaging more than
beat each second from before the infant
draws the first breath to the last sigh of de-
parting life.
When the heart ceases to labor animation,
warmth and life Itself soon departs. How ex-
pedient then it becomes that we keep this
faithful slave, that works night and day that
we may live. in the best possible condition
that we remove influences that will derange,
weaken, or embarrass it.
Real or organic diseases OF the heart are
always dangerous and frequently fatal. For
tunately, most disturbances noticed in and
about the heart are functional, usually reflex
or sympathetic ills that will disappear as soon
rs their exciting cause, which Is most fire.
Quently stomach trouble, is righted.
Organic or structural heart disease is diff
cult and many times even impossible to cure,
but functional disturbances of a sympathetic
or reflex nature are easy to cure. Func-
tional wrongs, which are easy to cure, may,
II neglected, eventually induce organic dis
ease that is both exceedingly dangerous and
difficult Of cure. therefore 6he wise will seek
early relief for every disturbance they may
notice about the heart.
Three-fourths Of all cases of disturbed heart
function are due to stomach trouble and may
be entirely cured by taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. after meals
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-03-03

Branches of the same nerves (the sy1npa-
thetic and the pneumogastric nerve) go to
both heart and stomach, and through this
nerve supply, the two organs are in close
sympathy. Any unnatural irritation about
the stomach may, through sympathy by nerve
connection, produce reflex disturbance Of
preston, irregularity, palpitation or hutter
ing, momentary stopping-the missing of one
or more beats, etc.
Another way poor digestion may cause
| heart disturbances is because the gas due to
the fermentation of partially dgested food
so distends the stomach as to cause pressure
on the heart and interfere with it's freedom
| of action. In this condition there may be :.
| sensation of heavness and oppression, short
| breath, smothered sensation and weak action
| of the heart to which may be added any Of
| the symptoms of sympathetic or reflex ner-
vous disturbance.
| Again, the products of decomposition, due
! to insufficient Digestion being absorbed into
the blood poison the heart, as indeed they do
every other organ they reach.
| This shows the wisdom of attending to the
stomach whenever heart disturbance is no
| tced. For this purpose the most convenient,
| economical and efficient remedy is Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets. as they can be obtained
easy to carry and take and will effectually
correct every form Of faulty digestion.
| 1t is time enough to consult a heart spe-
Tablets haven't removed all the symptoms of
heart disturbance you experience. For func-
tional wrongs Of the heart you will find in
over seven in ten, that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are all the medicine you need.
! DR.. Jennisom says: "Nine-tenths Of the peo-
! pie who apply to me for treatment for various
| ailments I find, on close examination, have
stomach trouble. For such patients have
but one prescription, tell them to go to
the nearest drug store for a 5O-cent box OF
tablet before and after each meal. So great
is my confidence in the preparation that if
they do not cure know nothing that will. .
