PLAGUE IS SPREADING.
Report That the Disease Exists IT
 Villa Union Is Confirmed.


 Mazatlan, March 5.-There was one death from the plague yesterday, that of a year-old girl.
 There are now 194 persons isolated and under observation.
 The statement that the plague exists at Villa Union has been confirmed, and Dr. Butron has been ordered to that place. Dr. Carbajal who was there yesterday, stated that two fatal cases occurred. The houses of the victims were burned and the persons who dealt with them were isolated. Villa Union is on the road to the interior country, so no efforts will be omitted to check the epidemic at that point The cpl demic was carried thither by the peo- pie who are constantly migrating from this port.
 Governor Canedo has just received message that serious disturbances have occurred at Villa Union. More than one hundred men of the lower class attacked the sanitary agents sent from this city and wounded one of them. The agents escaped and could not be overtaken by the mob, which threw rocks and drove them out of the pueblo. The mob then began to hunt up DTS. Carbajal and Butron, whom the people consider responsible for the burning of the houses where plague cases occurred, and declared they wou.4 kill them to stop turl destruction of houses. The govern. ment has ordered a detachment of the Eleventh infantry to proceed to Villa Union. The rurals have also been sent.

THE FEAR OF HUM8UlG Prevents Many People From Trying .
 Good Medicine.

stomach troubles arc so cor1mon anu III most cases so obstinate to cure that peo- ple are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be radical perma- nent cure for dyspepsia ana Indigestion Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, es- pecally in medicines.
 This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact. that many neople suffer for years with weak diges- tion rather than risk little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of A preparation so reliable and uni- versally used as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab lets.
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not secret pat ent medicine, no secret is maue or their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive rerments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal bismuth, nydrasiis and nux. They are not cathartic neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thor oughly before 1t has time to ferment sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely on the bowels. whereas the whole trouple IS really in the stomach.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That Is all there is to it. Food not digested or half digest ed is poison as it creates gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
 They are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package.
