Rich MEN ARE NOT ALL HAPPY.
Croesus, King OF Lydia, Had Troubles
of His Own, and There Are Others.

CfoeSus, the John ID. Rockefeller of

AS rich as Croesus" is a saying about
1910 years cid. He had his troubles
however: 80 some of them Wera foil
grown. He was taken captive once by
Cyrus and only saved himself from be-
ing burned alive by quoting q saying
of Solon. the Sage. He finally had to
flee his kingdom FOR parts unknown.

Irregular tines, lack of proper exercise,
undue mental strain, unnatural stimu-

as 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
nourishmcnt.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief of dyspeptics rich and
poor alike. There is no such thing as
stopping their onward progress now.
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
a household word throughout the land.
The story of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets can be told in a word. They
actually do the work that the weak and
wasted stomach is unable to do and
allow it to recuperate and regain it's
strength They contain all the
essential properties that the gastric
Juice and other digestive fluids do, and
they digest the food just as a sound
and we'll stomach would. They relieve
the stomach just as one rested and
refreshed workman relieves one on duty
that is tired and worn, and Nature does
her own work of restoration. 1t is q
simple, natural process that a child can
understand. You can eat all you want
without fear of results. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all
druggists at so cents a box. Druggists
all know better then to try to get along
without them, as the demand for them
is great and universal.

Record Breaking Balance in
Treasury at Close Of Year.
Confusion Among Aroostook War
Pension Claimants.
Norway Deer Hunter in TroubIe-New
Corporations.

1t Is now unofficially stated that Maine
VIII close the present year with a round
nall million dollars in the treasury, the
largest cash balance at the end of year
in the history of the State. Moreover the
State has no temporary loans to meet,
and is steadily reducing the bonded debt
caused by the Civil War.
The yearly balance in the State treas
ury has Seen some striking fluctuations
IN the last half-ccntury. In the days be-
fore the war, when the State was doing
a business aggrcgating only about halt
a million in the gross, the balance was
OF corresponding SIZE and $4,000 or
100000 was plenty of capital on which
to do business. Nowadays, with a gross
business of over two and one-half mil
lions, $4,000 is none too much to have
for working capital to carry the State
through the months when little comes in
and much goes out.
An examination of the treasurer's re-
ports since 1889 shows the following
changes in the yearly baance:-

In paying pensions to veterans of the
AroostOoli war, under the act of the
last Legislature, State Pension Agent
Millkcn is having difficulty in de-
ternining who served as soldiers in the
from the State. In the winter of 1855
80 Rufus Mcintyre was land agent.
When the depredations of the timber
thieves from the Canadian provinces
became frequent he and party of men
visited the border to suppress their
operations. After his arrival he and
several. others We're captured and
placed in Fredericton Jail.
Charles Jarvis was then appointed
land agent to serve until Mcintyre was
liberated and returned to his duties.
Meanwhile volunteers were called for
to drive out the invaders, an act of the
Legislature being passed. Some 1909
meu, lumbermen, farmers and others
responded. and in the dead of winter
they made their way to the ArOoStook
border, enduring many hardshipS.
Joseph Porter of Burlington was APP
pointed their colonel
Shortly after their arrival the militia
was called out, and their services being
no longer needed they returned. Now
survivors of these men are claiming
that they are entitled to the benefit of
the Aroostook war pension act. Mr..
Millillen thinks there may be some
doubt about it. They were never
regularly enlisted, and there is no list
of their names in the adjutant-generafs
Office as there is of the militia who were
called om. The pension agent has Deen
looking for their names, but so far has
been unable to find them. He IS going
through the old records of the land
agent, but as the land office was on
wheels fer many years it is not likely
that he will discover list. 1t is
thought that if the survivors of these
carly volunteers get pensions they will
probably have to wait until another
legislature for them.

MRS. TAYLOR CONFESSES
KILLING HER
HUSBAND.
Aided by Her Daughter, She Chop
ped His Body to Pieces, Burned
Them in the Stove, Ground
the Bones and Fed Them
to the Chickens.

Monticello, n. Y, Feb. 9.-Mrs.
Lafayette Taylor, Of Centerville, Sui
livan county, confessed to having
killed her husband, Lafayette Tay-
lor, and burned the body on January
26, to escape detection. Taylor dis
appeared on the night of January 25,
and - -, p2sc1 : S2cc-r-c f02C"st@0c5'
his family. On February 6, Mrs.
Taylor attempted to sell horse to a
Centerville man, who would not buy
for fear Taylor might come back and
claim it. Mrs. Taylor told him to
rest easy on that point, for she had
killed him and burned his body.
The 14-year-old daughter of the
Taylors was asked about the story
her mother had told about having
killed her father. She said the story
was true. Mrs. Taylor was arrested
and to-day made full confession.
Her story is that her husband, who
was hard drinker, came home on
the night of January 25, very drunk
and began to abuse her. She secured
a revolver which she had purchased
a few days before and tried to fright
en- him. He attempted to take it
from her and in the struggle it went
off, the bullet striking him over the
eye and killing him instantly. She
was so frightened for fear of being
arrested for murder that she decided
to cut up the body and burn it. Her
14-year- old daughter witnessed the
shooting ard helped her to cut up the
body in small pieces with an axe ana
burn it in the kitchen stove together
with the clothing of the victim. The
burnt tones were ground fine and fed
to the hens. The blood spots were
covered with paint.
The Taylors lived on farm q mile
from the main road and the chances
of discovery were few. Mrs. Taylor
is about 40 years old. She says she
confessed because the crime haunted
her. She was brought to the Monti-
cello jail tonight. The daughter has
not been arrested yet.

Last Night.
Raleigh News-Observer, Feb. 5.

Raleigh News-Observer, Feb. 5.
Many hearts will be sorely grieved
this morning when il is learned that
Miss Florence Tucker Boylan is dead.
Since Saturday she has been seriously
i'll, but none thought that the bright
life of this most popular young wo-
man would thus end so suddenly.
The end came to relieve her suffering
last night at II o'clock.
Miss Boylan was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Boylan, the
granddaughter Of Mrs. Florence P.
Tucker, and the sister of Miss Marv
Kincey Boylan, Miss Margaret T.
Boylan, Miss Katheryne Boylan,
MIR. William Boylan, and Mr.. Rufus
L. Boylan, all of whom are heart
broken to thus have their daughter,
rand-daughter and sister so sud-
deniv taken froro their v.91.Eo+
The sincere sympathy of the whole
community goes out to the grief
stricken family.
Miss Boylan was known in social
circles throughout the State, Her
friends are legion. She was known
as bright young woman, possessed
of a lovely, enviable character. IT
was only to know her to be her
friend. Her presence shed a raw of
happiness on every gathering. Her
short life of twenty-one years is
marked with innumerable deeds of
kindness and charity. 1t is needless
to say that she will be sorely missed
III Fsaleigh and throughout the State.
The funeral arrangements will be
announced later.

Senator's action, and that is. he has
made bold effort to outbid Mr.
Roosevelt for the negro vote. Every
Republican politician in the present
day apparently trims his sails to
catch the negro vote, and it would
seem tnat Mr.. Hanna has fallen in
line.
