turned to the city a few days ago. He
stated to the police shortly after his
arrest, that he was married to a
young woman, with whom he had
gone away.
Stewart in the municipal court this
morning pleaded not guilty. He will
have preliminary hearing Oct. 20.

shows that he has a wife and child
living in Wisconsin and if his state
ment to the police Is true he may be
tried, on charge Of bigamy.
About three years ago Stewart was
convicted of stealing bicycles at Wau-
sau, Wis, and sentenced to a term

the sentence of the boy was RENTED.
Stewart was identified in this cpl
sode and was returned to Wausau,

Worked Largely in the

Edward T. Devine, Phi D., author Of
the "Practiee of Charity and secre-
tary of the Charity Organization So
ciety Of New York city, has consented
to deliver one of the principal adj
dresses at the state conference of
Charities and Corrections to be held
in Plym outh church Nov. 1912.
This conference will probably be one
of the most important charity gather
ings ever held in the state. The, pub
lie will be welcomed at any Of the ses-
sions. . s<@@ r
DR.. Devine is western man, and is
familiar with local conditions. After
taking the degree of Phi. D. at the
University Of Pennsylvania he became
interested in charity work and is one
of the foremost workers and writer's
on philanthropic subjects. He was
largely influential in securing the pas
sage of the effective tenement house
law in Greater New York. This law
is working wonders for the relief of
tenement jewellers, especially in the
congested districts. DR.. Devine is also
prominent in the present vigorous
campaign against tuberculosis.
The conference program committee
is expecting soon to announce other

1t is not at all certain that Min

Paul says that his recent conference
with his colleagues, Davis, Buchanan

do with this appointment. -
1T is not a delegation matter at
this time said Mr.. Stevens to- day.
THE place will be filled by Secretary
Shaw, who will select the man he
wants. If he decides on a Minnesota
man, he will ask the delegation to
signify Its approval Of his choice. Be
yond that the delegation has nothing

! There were an unusual number Of
outbreaks of this disease in the state
during the last quarter, and from what

more or less prevalent during the sum-

the outbreak Is the appearance of the

the disease is very puzzling.'

Better. Than Gold
Health the Most Valuable Asset of
All Mankind.

The schoolboy, looking down the
vista Of ambition toward the goal of
success, sees the golden image which
mankind at all ages worships. Wealth
is pictured as the sum of human hap
piness to him then and in after life
does not concern him, as the supply
seems to be so bountiful that it is
cheap. ,s--- ..==> . ..1f
But when disease has drawn him in

and the struggle to regain the lost
blessing commences. y And the most
devastating disease Of all is dyspepsia,

it know how distressing it is and the
difficulty with which it could be cured
according to the old methods.
But Chase's Dyspepsia Cure has
revolutionized the treatment Of dys-
pepsia and all disease of the digestive
organs This. unfailing remedy is
compounded upon a thoroly original
theory and by years of careful expert
ment has been perfected to such an
extent that it is practically infallibIe.
One Of the great mistakes made,
even In legitimate medical practice,
has been the attempt to adapt a rem
edy to several different complaints.
Chase's Dyspepsia Cure has been
produced for one single purpose-the
cure of dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles-and it never fails to ac-
complish this purpose. It soothes the
tender. inf1amed stomach while ex-
erting powerful influence as a
speedy curative. The first dose gives
