The Salvation army calvary corps un-

land and Major Hunter Of Cincinnati,
left here today for Wise courthouse.
They had not gone far before they met
with a thrilling experience, and one
which they will not soon forget.
They came upon q country barbecue
where in grove people were dancing
and making merry. A large space had
been cleaned of in an open spot, and
in the csater country string band
was furnishing music. On the out.
skirts men and boys were drinking
hard cider from barrels Many were
drunk and the county officers could do
nothing with them. The salvationists
were almost paralyzed. They had
learned while here that Letcher coun-
ty was one of the worst in the state,
having had more feuds and more MUIR
ders than any OF its sister counties,
and now the Salvationists saw q rea-
son for the trouble.
. 1t was some time before they could
make up their minds what to do, but
finally they opened services under a
large oak tree by the roadside, and
soon crowd gathered.
While members Of the corps were
exhorting the people assembled, some
drunken rowdies began firing off their
revolvers near by and the crowd began
to scatter. The shooting was so close
that the Salvationists, fearing to con.
tinue their meeting, closed with pray
er for the souls If the people and rode
away, continuing their trip.

YOU WILL Be ALL
SMILES AGAIN
Forget Your Stomach and You'll
Have Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO Do1r.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give a man forlorn and
friendless appearance and make him me,
bid and cranky" and disagreeable, tn
thing is dyspepsia. 1t makes one forg,
his friends and become morose and ir
table He is SO wrapped up in his o.
misery that he is inconsiderate of evers
one else. Relieved of this terrible and
depressing ailment, he again becomes a
good fellow and man among men.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond
question the most effective and popular
reiueds eyer offered 10 the sufferers of
this terrible disease. The thousands and
thousands of cures they have brought
about and the enormous increase of their
sales fully attest the truth of this state
uent
They are, above all, a natural remedy.
They possess exactly the same properties
that the gastric juices and other diges-
tive fluids of the stomach possess, and
they actually do the digestive work of
the stomach and enable that organ to rest
and recuperate and become sound and
well. They act in mild, natural man
ner and cause no disturbance in the di-
gestive organs. They prevent any fer
mentation of the food which causes sour
stomach. In fact. under their influence
the subject forgets that he has a stomach
and his resulting cheerfulness presents a
great contrast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold annually and they are
but ia the dawn of their popularity.
Every mail brings letters of thanksgiving
from grateful. ones who have been cured
of this terrible disease. The. following is
one of hundreds sareceived each week:
Rev. ]. f. Hoag, of Wymore, Neb.,
writes: 'sFor six years Iahave been troub-
led with dyspepsia. Last fall became
very much alarmed at some symptoms of
heart trouble and came to belive there

two diseases, or rather that the stomach

FLOATERS HERE
Police Have Detected Fake
Registry From Lodging
Houses But No Real
Fraud.

The following was handed out to re-
porters today from Police Headquar-
ters:-
The police say that on last registry
Gay there were large number of lodg
ing house buns, known as foaters,
around election day in this city. Out
of ffty-nine names registered from the
Montauk Hotel there are only twenty
five names registered at that house that
do not appear on the books of that house.
The police don't look upon this as an
attempt by anyone in this city to defraud
the elections. Previous to every fall
election there are thousands Of hoboes,
panhandlers and yegg men who come in
frcm the country places. and register
themselves as many times as possible in
the cities, so they can sell their votes to
the highest bidder on election day.
For some years back the police of this
city have seratinized the lodging houses
so closely that they have been able to
reduce the percentage of Illegal voting
from those places to the lowest mini
mum.
In connection with this election mat
ter the police would like to inform the
general public that squad Of men under
Inspector Archibald, who are detailed
to investigate the registry. have so far
gone over nearly seven thousand names
and have found very little if anything
that looks like a combined effort at fraud
They have found, however, great many
errors, such as wreng numbers, mis-
spelled names,-etc., and large number
have been found to have moved since
first registry day. The entire number
dred and fifty. The police, however, do
not say but what number of these will
prove themselves correct because of their
names being misspelled, moved, etc.
Therefore, the police desire to say that
a complete list of those not found moved,
etc. will be found on file at the desk Of
police headquarters for an inspection by
the public who are interested, at any time
of the day and night.
