Company on Perry street. The buildings
are the property of j. b. Mason and he
has ordered changes made in thu
plumbing SO that the defects will be
remedied. Yesterday morning Plumbing
Inspector Kahles went carefully over the
pipes and traps and condemned the de-
fective parts. An old part of the plumb
ing Is held to be. responsible for the
sewer gas, though valve was found to
be faulty in the newer part.
Those who have been affected by the
gas are Mrs. Bowling, her father and
mother and her sister. Mrs. Bowling's
mother is still seriously sick. Her
fever this morning was reported to be
los degrees. The parents of Mrs.
Bowling have been visiting here for
the last two weeks. They arrived from
their home hale and hearty and began
to suffer from headaches soon after
their arrival. Mrs. Bowling also has
recently suffered from these head
aches, and the hired girl has COM
plained of the same. A few days ago
all were more or less sick and Mrs.
Bowling's mother and sister were con-
fined to their beds DIR. Hender was
called and he pronounced the sickness
In the household to be due to the pres
ence of sewer gas.
The work of repairing the plumbing
was begun this morning. 1t is
said that during the summer when the
doors and windows of the building
were constantly open the gas did not
accumulate in the building and the
extent of the danger could not be
known until the coming of the recent
cold weather

A. r. Hill and Mrs. kirkham caugh
in Compromising Situation.


in Compromising Situation.
Special to Times Republican
| Jefferson, Nov. 27.-The domestic
relations of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert T.
kirkham, of Bristol township, have
been pretty badly shattered since last
week Thursday evening, owing to a
public and sensational exposure of a
wretched liason between Mrs. kirllhanl
and Mr.. A. r. Hill, Il tombstone agent
from Crawford county. 1t is not a
pleasant story.
1t appears that some months ago
Kirkham suspected his wife of having
improper relations with Hill, who is a
married man.
Last Thursday Kirkham told his
wife he was going to the coal mines
and would be gone over night. In
stead of that he came to Jefferson, go;
up an official party consisting of
Deputy Sheriff Kendall, City Marshal
Kreger, Mac Wilson and himself.
Sheriff Anderson was unable to go on
account of sickness. The party went
to the house late in the evening, and
there was highly sensational de-
nouement, the guilty couple being
surprised in fiagrante delictu.
Hill is said to have begged hard for
some settlement, but he was at once
arrested on charge Of entering a
dwelling house in the night time with
intent to commit public offense.'
The criminal charge was thus worded
because nobody save Mrs. Hill can
inform against her husband for adul-
terry direct. A conviction under the
charge made, however, is even more
serious than the other. the maximum
penalty being ten years in the peniten
tiary, while for adultery the maximum
Is three years. There has already been
one conviction in Greene county upon
exactly the same charge that lies
against Hill.
Hill had preliminary hearing on
Saturday afternoon before Justice
Sayers. and after the presentation OF
the evidence of the four men who made
up the surprising party referred to
above, he was bound over to await the
action of the grand jury and his bond
was fixed at $1,000. His father and
other Denison friends who were pres
ent, at once qualified as bondsmen.
and he returned horne with them that
evening.

THEY ACTUALLY DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di-
pested-Soms stomachs Must Have

Vebps
Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the con-
dition of the stomach is not dlgested is
worse than no food at all. This Is a
true statement as far as 1t goes and
great many dyspe ptics go only this far
with their reasoning. They argue with
themselves that because their stomachS
do not do the work given them, they
must be given less work; in othes
words, they must be starved. 1t would
be Just as sensible for business
man who is unable to do all his own
work to cut down his business to his
capacity as 1t is for man to starve
himself to relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business.
likewise the sensible dyspeptic Will
employ help for his stomach and give
HIS body proper nourishment
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
DO the work assigned to chem. They
relieve weak and overwhelmed stom-
achs OF great portion Of digestive ac-
4ion. Their component parts are iden-
IDEAL with those of the digestive fluids
and secretions of the stomach and they
simply take up the grind and carry on
Che work just the same as a good,
strong, healthy stomach would do 1t.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural In their
action and effects They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance In
the stomach or bowels They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned In what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance OF the body.
How much more sensible IS this
5method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs! BY
this means body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and the
man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and per-
form his duties. He could not possibly
be in proper working condition by
starving himself or employing some
ew-fangied, insufficient food that does
not contain enough nutriment for e.
year old baby. A strong man doinR
strong work must be properly fed and
this applies to the brain as well as the
body.
