RICH MEN ARE
 NOT ALL HAPPY.
Croesus, King of Lydia, had Troubles of His Own, and There are Others.

Croesus, King of Lydia, had Troubles
 of His Own, and There are Others.
 croesus. the John D. Rockefeller of the Kingdom of Lydia, was very well-to-do In worldly goods and chattels. "As rich as Croesus' is a saying about 2,50o years oId He had his troubles, however, and Some of them were full grown. He was taken captive once by Cyrus and only saved himself from being burned alive by ouotinR a saving of Soion, the Sage. He finally had to flee his kingdom for parts unknown
 Many of the rich mans troubles today come from high living and could be avoided. They are brought on by eating an kinds of rich, heavy foods at irregu- lar times, lack of proper exercise, undue mental strain, unnatural stimulants, etc, and are commonly known as indigestion, dyspApsiL and weak stomach. They are serious troubles all right, but not only can they be avoided, but can also be cured and tn tt without loss of time or proper food and nourishment.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the cer- tain relief of dyspepsia, rich and poor alike. There is no such thing as stopping their onward progress now. A great na- tion has placed its stamp of approval upon, their noble work. The thousands and thousands of cures they have effected and the happiness resulting therefrom have made their name household word throughout the land.
 The. story of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be told in a word. They actually do the work that the weak and wasted stom- ach is unable to do and allow 1t to recu perate and regain its strength. They contain all the essential properties that the gastric juice and other digestive fluids do, and they digest the food just as sound and well stomach would. They re- IIeve the stomach just as one rested and refreshed workman relieves the one on duty that is tired and worn, and Nature does her own work of restoration. It is a simple. natural process that a child can understand. You can eat all you want without fear of results. Stuart's pyspepssa Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box. Druggists ah know better than to try, to get along without them. as the demand for them is great and universal. su-wed-frL

MORE PAY FOR MINERS.
Total Advance I'm Wages over Last
Year VIII Aggregate About
F35,OOO,OOO.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 1.-The old
miners and operators of nearly 20
states expired Tuesday. The 1902
agreement will continue in Tennessee,
Alabama and several other western
and southern states, until June or July.
In Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Penn
sylvania and other states where the
miners and operators have agreed, a
new scale, based on the action of the
national convention here in January
and February, will take effect.
A few figures compiled by Secretary
Wilson show that the bituminous min
ers, as result Of the national and
state conventions, will this year re-
ceive an aggregate increase of $19.-
$4,000 in wages over last year. This
is based on the output of last year. 1t
is probable the amount will be even
more, as the production is likely to be
greater. Including the advance re-
ceived by the anthracite men the total
will be about $35, 900. 900 this year.

SIX KILLED IN MINE.
Carries Death-six other Men
Are Injured.

Centralia, ILL.,, April IAN explosion
of gas and coal dust in the coal shaft
at Sandoval, ILL.,, six miles north of
the city, Tuesday, resulted in the in
slant death of four men, the death of
one other before the top of the shaft
was reached and the death of another
who died soon after reaching home.
Those who were killed in the mine
were: Lafe Leanny, Frank Deiro, Joe
Thebasco, John Giacino and Joe Bian-
co. Six others were terribly burned
about the head and chest. Those seri-
ously burned were: Allen and Henry
Newhouse, Henry Wheeler, Frank Day,
Charles T. Lewis and William McFad-
den. Henry Newhouse died soon after
being taken home. The accident was
due to an accumulation of gases in the
mine from imperfect ventilation and
coal dust, which has been allowed to
gather two feet in depth in many
places. The force of the explosion
wrecked the interior of the mines, de-
stroying trap doors and knocking
down props. The coal shaft is the
property of the Sandoval Coal COM
pany.

COTTONSEED PRODUCTS.

In 1870 there were but four cotton
seed oil mills in this state, and they
were small affairs. In 1890 there
were thirteen mills. Now there are
seventy-three mills, employing a
capital of about six million dollars.
and turning out annually products
worth In the markets of the world
over eight millions of dollars. The
once almost valueless, and even
burdensome, seed is now worth from
$l4 to 500 a ton, and there is no
probability it Will be worth less.
The new vegetable fat is now
turned into an ever widening variety
of articles of fine commercial value,
and not few Of these articles come
back TO us and we eat our own oil
without knowing it. 1t is trans
formed into butter, leaf lard, olive
oil and the like, and when it comes
back to us it is so changed we do not
recognize our own product.
None of this refining, which is the
most profitable part of the Industry,
is done in this state. 1t is not ex-
aggeration to say that if the crude
oil produced IN this state were
carried in the state to its ultimate
POSSlDlO III tl1S oSGd vi CtIC 5tftIO
would be equal in value to the lint
that covered it.. In that case the
meal and bulls would be fed in the
state, and hIgh-grade refineries
would be established at every
cOttonseed center. The want of
capital is all that stands in the way,
and this want Will be supplied In the
course of another decade if the
present progress of the industry is
maintained. There will soon be as
many oil mills in this state as there
are counties, and it will be strange,
indeed, if some of them do not soon
begin to seek larger profits by refin-
ing the oil to It's ultimate uses. The
fattening of cattle at the oil mills is
already an established feature, and
the work of refining the oil comes
