RICH MEN ARE NOT ALL HAPPY.
croesus, King of Lydia, Had Troubles
Of His Own, and There Are Others

Of His Own, and There Are Others
Croesus, the John ID. Rockefeller of
the kingdom of Lydia was very
well-to-do in worldly goods and chat
tells. LAS rich as Croesus" is a saying
about $500 years old. He had his
troubles, however, and some of them
were full grown. He was taken cap
tive once by Cyrus and only saved
himself from being burned alive by
quoting a saying of Scion, the sage.
He finally had to flee his kingdom for
parts unknown.
Many of the rich mans troubles to-
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds of rich, heavy foods at
Irregular times, lack of proper exercise
undue mental strain, unnatural stimu-
lants, etc. and are commonly known
~ indigestion, dyspepsia and weak
stomach. They are serious troubles, all
right, but not only can they be avoided
but can also be cured and that without
loss of time or proper food and nour-
lshment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief OF dyspeptics, rich and
Door alike. There is no such thing as
0SOpDln& tlelIs OuWdIu PIoSIeSs nv"
A great nation has placed its stamp OF
approval upon their noble work. The
thousands and thousands OF cures they
have effected and the happiness result
Ing therefrom have made their name
household word throughout the land.
The story of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets can be told in a word. They
do the work that the weak and wasted
stomach lis unable to do and allow II
to recuperate and regain Its strength
they contain all the essential proper
ties that the gastric juice and other d.
Kestive fluids do. and they digest the
food just as sound and well stomach
would. They relieve the stomach just
az one rested and refreshed workman
relieves the one on duty that is tired
ana worn, and Nature does her rown
work OF restoration. 1t Is simple,
natural process that child can un-
derstand. You can eat all you want
without fear Of results. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are for sale by all drug
gists at so cents per box. Druggists
all know better than to try to get
along without them, as the demand for
them Is great and universal.

creditors of the Tama Paper Mills d
Filler Co, bankrupts, met in the of
flee of Attorney l.. C. Huber, at Tama,
Iowa, yesterday. The petition of trust
ees asked for the sale of the possession
of the equity of redemption, the per-
sonal property and whatever other in
terest in the property the trustees
might have. Attorney Archer and f..
NJ Clifford, of Chicago, representing
Armour & Co. made a proposition 10
the creditors, of leasing the mill dur
ing the year of redemption. They of
fered $4,000 cash plus the insurance on
the plant, said insurance not to
be in less amount than $4,000, they
to pay the taxes, county and state and
put the mill in good repair for opera
ton, aggregating in all, approximately
$4,000 for rental.
Attorney S. c. Huber made motion
on behalf OF the trustee that the court
order and direct the trustee to enter
into a lease with Armour & Co., COM
porting TO the above offer, said to ex-
pre Jan. IA, 1905, when the motion
was put to a vote by the referee. Sew
enty-nine creditors voted for, and one
against the proposition. The court or
dered the trustee to enter the lease and
also ordered a sale of the equity of re-
demption of the other property to be
held. Jan. 30 1904. The court further
ordered that the trustee sell the per-
sonal property at not less than IS per
cent of the appraised value at private

The Armour Packing Co.. in taking
the plant, expect to use the output OF
the mill for their own consumption and
no doubt will increase the capacity of
the plant in the near future If they can
buy the same from the First Mortgage
