TOOK A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment in Res.
tdurant.

An advertising agent. representing 4
prominent New York magazine. while on
recent western trip, was dining one
evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the ad-
vertisement of well known dyspepsia
preparation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
as he himself was a regular user of the
tablets he began speculating as to how
many OF the other travelling men in the
dining room were also friends OF the
popular remedy for Indigestion.
He says: Il counted twenty three men
at the tables and in the hotel Office ]
took the trouble to interview them and
vas surprised to learn that nine of the
twenty-three made a, practice Of taking
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal
One of them told me he had SUI
fered so much from stomach trouble that
at one time he had been oblise; 10 quit
the road. but since using Stuart-s Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from indigestion. but he continued their
use especially while travelling. on ac-
count of irregularity in meals and be-

Another. who looked the picture Of
health. said he never ate a meal without
taking q Stuart Tablet afterward because
he could eat what he pleased and when
he pleased. without fear CT n sleepless
night or any other trouble.
still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach. causing
pressure on heart and lungs. shortness Of
breath and distress in chest. which h

Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-

he had ever found for sour stomach and

man and Price, brooding over his troubles
imagined that his wife had intentions OF

He was also a habituai drinker and had
Frequently threatened the life OF his wife.
thush but slight heed was paid to his
threats. This afternoon he went to his
home in d semi-drunken crazed condi-
ton. He kissed his little children good
bye and then pulling revolver. aimed
it at his. wife. His mother-in-law was
present and grabbed his arm just as he

The murder and suicide stirred the city
from the fact that Prices little children
are left destitute of parental care. and
the case is more distressing from the
face of the poverty of the family. Price
was a carriage maker and while he re-
ceived good wages, never gave any of it
to his family, hence an appalling case of
destitution and misery exists. the home

terror-stricken children presenting
pitiable spectacle in their poverty, rags.

the city are lending every aid to alleviate
the condition caused by one mans pro-
lisacy.
An operation was performed upon the
wounded wife tonight, but little hope is
entertained for her recovery.

Enid. Q. T.. Jan 27.-R~ y. Rupert and
Joseph Duncan Of okeene were arraign-

guil;y as charged and alleged in the
complaint and were each fined s. and
costs. in each case making a sum total
Of $50. They were then taken before
the justice cours. wherein a plea OF
guilty wss entered and a similar aae
imposed, making total Of s&5a. which
would seem 10 indicate that those who
violate the game laws in the territory OF
oklahoma in the future must stand the
consequences. and that they are rather
high. The game wardens are claiming
the fines and the matter has been re-
