HACKED UP GIRLS BODY.
Atrocious Crime Committed Near Ge-
neva for Revenge.

Geneva, March IA most atrocious
crime has been committed at Ropraz,
near Geneva. on last Thursday NJ. Gil
leron. one Of the foremost citizens of
the town, followed to the grave the re-
mains OF his daughter. beautiful girl
of 20 years.
Yesterday morning a peasant passing
along the road by the cemetery saw
that the grave had been opened, and he
Immediately reported the matter to the
mayor OF the parish. When the authori-
ties reached the scene they found that
the body of the young woman had been
literally hacked to pieces.
The head was found a few yards from
the grave badly mutilated. and por-
tons Of the body had been scattered in
every direction. The heart has not been
recovered.
The only explanation of the matter is
that M Gilleron presided over jury
which convicted four members of the
Gallait family Of the murder Of a milk
man several years ago. The four men
were all given long sentences, but the
other members of the family vowed that
they would be avenged
They have since moved elsewhere, but
it is known that NJ Gilleron had not an
other enemy in the world, hence the
police are endeavoring to learn the
whereabouts of the various members of
the Gallait family

LOYE-MAKING SWINDLERs.
Women of Prussia Are Said to Be
Easy Victims of This Glass.

London, March 11.-How great is the
credulity of young women in Prussia
who are anxious to enter the marital
state has been demonstrated within the
past few days by the large number of
matrimonial swindles which have been
brought to light.
DR.. Glenn Christensen, prominent citi-
zen of Schoenberg, became engaged to
two women, one a noted musical in
structor and the other a former pupil
of his.
Though the two women were intimate
friends and saw each other almost daily,
he managed to keep each in ignorance
of his relations with the other, until he
succeeded III obtaining something over
81 500 from them, ostensibly to be used
in scientific research, and then he dis
appeared The police have thus far fail
ed to apprehend him, and it is said that
he has gone to America
Another swindler, who operated in
somewhat the same maner, except that
he moved in somewhat more obscure
circle was arrested in Berlin. He gave
his name as Gustaye Stark, and seems
rather proud of the fact that he has
won so many hearts.
He Travelled through Germany, made
assiduous love to every woman he met
who had any savings at all, and in
duced them to- entrust it to him He
feeced scores of young women, recefv-
ing various sums up to $500 from each
of his victims.

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man over Fifty.

You can Unrest any man over fifty
years of age in anything that viii make
him feel better, because while he may
not as Yet have any positive organic dis
ease he no longer feels the buoyancy
and vigor of twenty-five nor the free
dom from aches and pains he enjoyed IN
earlier years, and he very naturally ex-
amines with interest any proposition
looking to the improvement and preser-
walton Of his health.
He viii notice among other things that
the stomach of fifty is a very different
one from the stomach he possessed at
twenty five. That greatest care much be
exercised as to what is eaten and how
much Of it. and even with the best of
care, there viii be increasing digestive
weakness with advancing years.
a proposition to perfect or improve the
digestion and assimilation of food is one
which interests not only every man of
fifty but every man, woman and child
of any age because the whole secret of
good health, good blood, strong nerves,
is to have q stomach which viii prompt
~ and thoroughly digest wholesome
food because blood, nerves. brain tissue
and every other constituent of the body
is entirely the product Of digestion, and
no medicine or health" food can posi-
bly, create pure blood or restore shaky
nerves, when a weak stomach is replen-
ishing the daily wear and tear of the
body from mass Of fermenting half di-
gested food.
No. the stomach itself wants help and
in noround about way either; it wants d.
rect unmistakable assistance, such as is
given by one or two Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
/ because their use give the stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate; one Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains di
gestive elements sufficient to digest 5000
grains of ordinary food such as bread.
meat, eggs, etc
The plan Of dieting is simply another
name for starvation. and the use Of pre-
pared foods and new tangled breakfast
foods simply makes matters worse as
any dyspeptic who has tried them
] knows.
As DR.. Bennett says. the only reason
can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
/ Tablets are not universally used by ev-
/ erybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
! people seem TO think that because a
/ medicine is advertised or is sold in drug
stores or is protected by q trade mark
must be a humbug whereas as a matter
of truth any druggist who is obseryant
