AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY,
So Thinks at Least One TraveIIno Man.


 l would as soon think of starting out without my mileage books and grip as to start on a trip without a box of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets in my valise, said a travelling man who represents a St. Louis hardware house. Why? Because 1 have to put up at all kinds of hotels and board ing houses. I have to eat good bad and indifferent food at all hours of the day and night and I don't believe any mans stomach will stand that sort of thing without protest anyway I know mine won't. It has to have something to break the fall and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the cruteh I fall back on.
 My friends often josh me about it. tell me I'm an easy mark for patent medi- cine fakers, that advertised medicines are humbugs, etc. but I notice that they are nearly always complaining of their aches and pains and poor digestion. while I can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for work when 1t needs me. and believe I owe my good digestion and sound health to the daily. regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, year m and year out, and all the 'joshing'' in the world will never convince me to the con- trary.
 I used to have heartburn about three times a day and a headache about three or four times a week and after standing for this for four or five years I began to look around for a crutch and found 1t when my doctor told me the best invest ment I could make would be a fifty cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and have invested about fifty cents a month for them ever since and when I stop to think that that is what I spend every day for cigars I feel like shaking hands with myself for l can keep my stomach and digestion in first class order for fifty cents month. I don't care for any better life insurance.
 My druggist tells me they are the most popular of all stomach medicines and that they have maintained their popularity and success because they do as advertised They bring results, and results are what count in patent medicine as much as in selling barbwire.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES.
Rev. A. c. Shepherd Makes Startling
Statement of Conditions at Some
State Institutions.

Canton, S. D., April 2e.-Rev. A. c.
Shepherd Of the First Methodist church
preached q sermon Sunday night on
Education and Environment in which
he made some startling revelations re-
garding some of the state institutions.
Rev. Mr.. Shepherd said the conduct of
some OF the professors in the state
schools rendered these institutions
practically unfit. if not unsafe, for
Christian parents to send their chill
dren to. A travelling mar of good rep
utation q reported 1t as an absolute
fact that he had played cards for
money n Saturday evening recently
with a professor at one Of the leading
state institutions, and when the game
was ended the travelling man was a
considerable sum poorer and the coll
lege professor c~orrespondingly richcr
than before, and to his unutterable as
constituent when he went to church
next morning he found the professor
occupying the pulpit.
At another prominent state school,
Rev. MI. Shepherd said, certain profess
sorts taught their students that 1t was
manly to learn to drink liquor, because
1T they would practice the drink or
leave it alone" habit, it would give
them splendid exercise in the art Of self
control.
"A prominent professor at one OF me
foremost state colleges had made a
practice of telling his students that he
admired some Of them for having bet
ter sense han believe all the super
stitions and foolishness that was
taught them in the bible. The preacher
regarded this as nothing short Of teach
ing infldelity.
Rev. Mr.. Shepherds statements
came as startling revelations t. his
congregation, and while many of his
hearers were wondering what particu-
lar school were referred to, the rever-
end gentleman did not %enlighten them

Missing Fort Meade Veterinarian Be-
Iieved to Be Dead,

sturgis, S. D., April 28.-Nothing has
yet been heard Of Samuel 2. Gelston, vet
erinary Of the Third cavalry, who disap-
peared from Fort Meade on the morning
OF March Is. All his friends were com
municated with, and every effort made to
locate him If he should have gone away
from this locality. His sister, who lives
in Washington, writes that she has no
doubt Of his committing suicide, as his
last letters showed dependency.
Acting upon this, and the fact that Gel
ston had absolutely no money to travel
on, the war department from %headquar-
tiers at Washington ordered that a thor
ough search be made Of every nook and
Granny on the military reservation and
adjacent territory, with the hope of find
ing Gelston's body, but up to this time
nothing has been heard that would give
the slightest clue to the cause or manner
OF MS strange disappearance.
