Denver, Colo, Jan. 1.-Manila dis
patches received at the headquarters of
the army of the Colorado in this city
state that Hilario Placido, a Filipino
who aided General Funston in the cap
ture of AguinaldO. has been sentenced
70 life-imprisonment for murder. De-
tails of the crime are lacking, but Cen
eral Funston and other army officers
here who know the scout believe that
the crime was committed since they left
the island, as it does not seem probable
that PlacidO could have been called to
account for something done during the
time he was engaged as an active par
ticipant in the revolution. In speaking
of Placido, General Funston said:
de was never my spy, and the only
money he ever received from the United
States was for the part he took in the
capture of Aguinaldo. He fought
against the Spaniards, and then took
up arms against the United States. In
1899 he was severely wounded, being shot
through the lung. He recovered and
again took an active part in the war
The following year he surrendered at
the same time that General Garcia did

and held him there until we made him

NOBODY IS EXEMPT.
A New Preparation Which Everyone
Will Need Sooner or Later.

Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the common
est thing they do for it is to take some
one of the many so-called blood puri-
I f1ers, which in many cases are merely
strong cathartics. Such things are not
needed. If the organs are in a ciogged
condition. they need only a little help
and they viii right themselves. Ca
thartics irritate the sensitive Innings of
the stomach and bowels and often do
more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing TO do is to put the food in condi-
ton to be readily digesfed and assino-
Hated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. They partly digest what
is eaten and give the stomach just the
help il needs. They stimulate the secre-
ton and excretion of the digestive
fluids and relieve the congested eondi-
ton of the glands and membranes.
They put the whole digestive system
in condition to do its work When that
is done you need take no more tablets.
unless you eat what does not agree
with you. Then take one or two tab
lets-give them needed help and you
will have no trouble.
