AN Q. JEuT LESSOR
In a Restaurant.

4 physician puts the query; Have you never noticed in ary la ge restaurant at lunch or dinner time the iaI ge number ol hearty, Vigorous oiu men at the tables; men whose ages run from 6O to SO yea 6; many of them bald and all perhaps gray, but none of them feeble or senile?
 Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to have escaped your observation or conn ment. but nevertheless it is an object lesson which means something.
 If you will notice what these hearty old fellows arc eating you will observe that they are not munchIng bran crackers nor gingefly picking their way through a menu card of new Tangled health foods; on the contrary they seem to prefer a juicy roast of boef, properly turned loin of mutton, and even the deadly broiled lobster is not altogether ignored.
 The point of all this is that vigorous old ago depends upon good digestion and plenty of wholesome food and not upon dietlng and an endeAvor to live upon bl an crackers.
 There is a certain class of food cranks who seem to believe that meat, coffee. and many other good things arc rank poisons, but these rada yerous sickly look ing individuals are a walking condemna- ton of their own theories.
 The matter in a nutshell is that if the stomach secretes the natural digestive juices in sufficient quantity any whole some food will be promptly digested; if ,he stomach does not do so. and certain foods cause distress one or two of Btu arts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will remove all difficulty because they supply just what every weak stomach lacks. pepsin, hydro-chloric acid. dias- tsse and nuX.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act unon the bowels md in fact are not strictly a medicine. as they act almost entirely upcn the food eaten, digestine it thoroughly and thls gIyipg q much need ed rest and giving an appetite for the next meal.
 Of people who travel nine out of ten use stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. knowing them to be perfectly safe to use at any time and also having found out by expe- rierce that they are a safeguard against indigo stion in any form. and eating as they haIe to. at all hours and all kinds Of food, the travesins public for years have pinned their faith to StuAfTs Tab let's.
 All druggists sell them at ao cents for full sized packages and any druggist from Maine to California. if his opinion yers asked win say that sfnart,s pys. pspsia Tablets ia the most poIqliar q ila siiccessful remedy for any stomaeh trouble. wed-fri-sun.

Structural Enxineer. ',

He was held in the charge Of attenipt- ing to defrahd the bank until evidence of counterfeiting could be found against him.
 Thirty days elapsed, and on the day seh for his trial, the turnkey took the usual breakfast to the various prisoners. I4ap- hams cell was empty. Not the slightesk means of escape could be discovered and suspicion of assisting the man rested up on the turnkey. who was dismissed.
 Two years later Lapham was arrested at Ottawa. Canada, and convicted Of counterfeitine. He served his sentence and has several times since operated In the United States and Canada He is now keeping the books at the Sing Sing, (N. Y.) prison, where he Is serving term
 A ctriously dove-taiied cutting in the floor of hls former cell at the jail was discovered after the cave-in of the tunnel this morning, although it had escaped ob- ssrvation all these years. The trap door thus formed closed very tightly upon 4.apham and stayed closed until today.
 The pathetic feature of the affair Hes in the fate Of the falsely accused turnkey, who drank very heavily for several months after his dismissal, and whose body was found a year later floating on the Kalamazoo River, several miles below this city

CORN FOR COAL.
Western Nebraska Turns to Farmers
 for Fuel.

Western Nebraska Turns to Farmers for Fuel.
 Omaha Special to New Orleans Times
 Democrat.
 Western Nebraska has turned from the coal dealers to the farmers for fuel. and thousands of bushels of corn are going Into stoves instead of ffto grain eleva- tors.
 The western part of tho State is entire- Iy without coal. and there is practically no wood in the State. Fully half of last years corn crop was unfit for market or for stock. and this is the grain which is being burned.
 Twenty years ago Nebraska farmers discovered that corn was good fuel. but all the time there was coal and no money. At present there is money and no coal, but still plenty of corn.
 h. Omaha, as in, most Nebraska cities. the coal situation has reached an acute stage. there being only a few days sup- ply on hand and severe weather.
 The public schools will probably be closed, as the supply has given out and none can be purchased.
 Several business blocks had no coal this morning, but managed to secure enough for the day.
 The past three days have seen a sud- den advance tn the amount of sickness among the poor, and the coal famine is said to be responsible for the change.
 Pneumonia is very prevalent, having been brought on by exposure.
 Salvation Army headquarters. as well as other charitable organizations, are be- sieged by the poor seeking relief. but the supply of the institutions was exhausted several days ago.
 At Sidney. Neb.. the Union Pacific had large quantities of coal stored. The local supply gave out. and the citizens de- manded coal from the railroad Fearing Ahe coal would be seized. the road quiet ly hauled all fuel away from that point last night.
 Council Bluffs is in worse plight than Omaha, and the large manufacturing plants. stree. cars, electric lights and gas companies are on the verge of closing. Coal dealers can offer no relief, but say the situation will probably be worse later In the week.

 Eight witnesses have been suinmo1sd to testify as to the alleged inoempetency of Solicitor lowe. The testimony will bs largely that of medical men. Four physt- clans from Montgomery. 1t is said. have been summoned to give evidence at the trial in the Supreme Court.

A ifth medical witness has been summoned from Huntsville.
 The phyeicians will testify to the na- ture, cause and result Of the illness Of Solicitor Lowe. which. it is alleged, has inoapacitated him for the duties of his off1ce. st
 The impeachment proceedings were be- gun by tho findings of two grand jufies of the Eighth Judicial Circuit in which 1t was stated that Solicitor Lowe had sb- sented himself from court and had not discharged the duties of his office not withstandine which he had continued to draw his salary from the State.
 The Impeachment proceedings were filed before the supreme Court by Attorney General Brown, who will have exclusive charge of their prosecution.

 Tn the reply to the information in the impeachment proceedings the line of de- fense is outlined in the contention that Mir. Lowe's affliotion Ia providential in it's nature and that it was not brought on by any act of his own. It is further contendsd that the Consultation does not contemplate punlshing ma because Of . providentiai affiiction.
