Leader a Band of Ghouls Proves a
 Surly Witness.


 Indianapolis. Ind, Feb. b.-In the trial of pr. J. c. Alexander indicted on the charges of grave-robbing. an effort was made today to unravel some of the stories that have been told in regard to the mur- der of Doc Lung, a Chinese laundryman. Some of the grave robbers under arrest, 1t has been said. know something of the murder.
 Attorney Spaan asked Rufus Cantrell. the negro and confessed king of the ghouls, on the witness stand, if he had not had a conversation at the jail with one of the grave robbers with regard to the killing of the Chinaman.
 Cantrell said he had not, and then added angrily: Let them tell what they know of the killing of Doc Lung If they want to-"
 Judge Bailey struck out this testimony The court room is packed with specta- tors.
 Cantrell was cross-examined and show ed much spirit. and the attorneys for the prosecution were apprehensive that he would lose his temper.
 Attorney Spaan was not satisfied with one of Cantrells answers. and told the negro that he did not want to argue with him.
 And don't want to argue with vou." the negro replied in surly manner Cantrell said he had been present when the Doehring grave was opened He de- nied that he had telephoned pr. Ander- son on October IS: Not to worry. am paid for doing this, and you will come out all right"

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Lead. CTS in Every Branch of Hu-
 man Achievement.

The ruling nations of the world are meat eaters and history records that they al- ways have been.
 Vegetarians and food cranks may ex- plain this in any way they choose, but the facts remain that the Americans, English. French. Russians and Germans are meat eating nations. and they are also the most energetic and most progressive.
 The principal food of the heroic Boer soldier known as Biltong, is sort of dried beef. affordng a great deal of nour- ishment in highly concentrated form.
 The weak races of people are the rice eating Chinese. Hindoos, and Samese, regarded sirce the dawn of history as non-progressive, superstitious and inferior physically and mentally to the meat eat ing nations who dominate them.
 The structure of the teeth plainly indi- cates that human beings should subsist upon variety of food meat, fruit and grains. and it is unhygienic to contine ones diet to any one of those classes to the exclusion of another.
 Meat Is the most concentrated and most easily digested of foods, but our manner of living is often so unnatural that the digestive organs refuse to properly digest meat. eggs and similar nutritious and wholesome food, but it is not because such food is unwholesome. but the real reason is that the stomach lacks, from disease or weakness. some necessary di- gestive element; hence arising indigestion and later on, chronic dyspepsia.
 Nervous people should eat plenty of meat convalescents should make meat the principal food, hard working people have to do so and brain workers and office men should eat. not so much meat but al least once a day and to insure it's per feet digestion one or two of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets should be taken after each meal, because they supply the peptones, diastase and fruit acids lacking in every case of stomach trouble.
 Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach gastritis, sour stomach, gas and acidity are only different names for indigestion, the failure 10 digest wholesome food. and the use of Stuart s. .Catarrh Tablets cures them all because by affording perfect di- gestion the stomach has chance to rest and recover it's natural tone and vigor
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the real household medicine; it is safe and pleas ant for the stomach ache of the baby, as it is for the imperfect digestion of its grand sire.
 They are not cdthartic. but digestive and no pill habit can ever follow their use: the only habit Stuart's Tablets in- duce is the habit of good digestion and consequently good health.

 T showed sufficiently six years ago that I am far removed from a policy of ad- venture. The Samoa question was set tied to general satisfaction. We came out of the Chinese action with undimin- ished power. in all honor and with a strengthened position in East Asia.

 Tn our foreign policy try to strike the middle course between the members of the Left Party and Professor Hasse (the pan-German leader). I am far from fol lowing parish politics whereby our paths would be undermined. but I am just as far from a policy which would extend our sphere of action excessively, and which would be dependent upon ebulli- tions of feelings Instead of being fixed by the well considered, plainest interests of the German people"
