The great number of dyspeptics
is increasing daily. This is due to
hurried eating and lack of care in
selecting proper food.
There is nothing more effective to
the rundown digestive organs than
pure pepsin, and while pepsin alone
corrects the overworked digestive
organs, a tonic, such as pure port
wine, is also necessary to keep them
in this condition.
WaIther's Peptonized Port, to be
found at Anderson 81 Fowler's and
Jas. O. Cooks, combines in exact
proportions the purest pepsin and
richest port wine. 1t is highly
recommended by thoughtful physi
clans.

WARD in JAIL.
Fugitive captured in California
and Br, ught 10 Nashville.
Former Superintendent Of Odd
Fellows tiome to Be Taken to
clarksviile for Trial.

Homer d. Ward, formerly Super
intendent Of the Odd Fellows Home
at Clarksville, charged with Grim
inal intimacy with two little girls
who were inmates Of the institution,
arrived in Nashville Friday night
and is now confined in the David
son county Jail.
Wards hiding place was in the
mountains of California, at the little
town of Amador, about IS miles
north of Sacramento. For over two
months he had been there, holding
the position of book-keeper for the
Keystone Supply Company, his
salary being 500 a month. This
company operates gold mines,
and runs a supply store. Ward S
position was in the store.
After leaving Clarksville about
eight months ago, since which time
no trace of him could ever be found
until the Nashville officers got on
his trail, Ward worked his way to
the far West, stopping for a few
weeks at every large city until he
could earn money enough to push
further on. An employment bureau
at San Francisco secured the posi-
ton for him with the mining COM
pany, and SO remote was the place
that ii seems that he might have
spent the remainder OF his lite there
without something miraculous hap
pening in favor of the strong arm of
the law. Ward had been living
under the assumed name of Will
Wright.
Ward will probably be kept in
the Nashville Jail few days before
being taken to GAINESVILLE. There
has been some talk of probable vio-
leuce to Ward if he is taken back
to GAINESVILLE. but it is believed
that the citizens will be willing for
the law to take its course.
The circuit court OF Montgomery
county, Tennessee, will convene
this week, and it may be that steps
will be taken to secure an immed-
late trial of Ward. One indictment
has been returned against him, and
another little girl will be taken be-
fore the grand jury at this term
President Metzger, OF the Board Of
Trustees of the Odd Fellows Home
stated that Attorney Dancey Fort
Secretary OF the board, has volur
teered his services to assist in the
prosecution. Other counsel will
probably be retained by the odd
Fellows.

New York, Jan. 2.-Bradstreet' to-m NOR

Holiday obserVanCes and stock taking
limit new business but do not increase
satisfaction and confidence. Wholesale
distribution has been to a minimum
while retail buying though satisfactory
feels reaction from previous activity.
| Perhaps the most notable features are
| the strength OF prices OF staples as the
year opens and the hopefulness as to
the outlook for next spring and summer
! trade ono unfaNorable feature is the
continued shortage Of anthracite coal in
| the East.
Al Eastern points it is noted by Phila-
dclphia that the teXtile trades were gen
orally prosperous in 1902 and this outlook
| in the dry goods trade is bright.
| There is little now in the iron trade.
| Iittshurg notes the outlook is for a large
! business at steady prices.
| The most important feature in the East
| crn dry goods market this week s the
| increased buying for export to China Of
| brown cottons. Tho rest of the market
is steady with on the whole cautious buy
ing. Staple Cottons, as a whole, averaged
| lower at the close than at the beginning
| Of 1902.
| Wooden goods retain their old previous
| good conditions and raw and manufactur-
cd materials have closed this year at the
| highest prices with machinery we'll en-
ploycd.
| An excellent report comes from the foot

| Boston. Aside from this prices are firmly
held.

Wife Of Station Agent Brown of
Whiting Died After
Short Illness.
Mr.. BROWN CRITICALLY ILL
Son Can Live But Few Hours-Other
People in the Town Stricken-Be.
lieved They Are Victims OF
Ptomaine Poisoning in Pork

Niddehury. Jan. Word reaches this
town to-day from Whiting concerning IL
rather mysterious CcSc of what resembles
poisoning in the death Of Mrs frank r.
IroWn Of that town. wife OF tho station
aront 1T Whiting Mrs. Brown died on
saturday and her young son, Dalou, aged
about seven years will probably die. and
TN" father is in a very prccarious coudi-
ton.
THE family were taken i'll tho Monday
hefore Christmas and Dr Avoril Of Bran
don was called and treated the sufferers.
Later DrS. Noble. Martin and Farmer Of
this town were called in consultation and
everything possible was done To- rclcave
the people who we're plainly suffering from
some form of POISONING presumably pto-
maine. Mrs. Brown grew worse rapidly
and died late Saturday afternoon and an
autopsy WAS held on Sunday afternoon
and portions OF the stomach Of the dead
woman sent to tie State laboratory at
Burlington for analysis.
At the same time portions of cooked and
raw meat from the Brown home were sub
mittod for examination as the attending
physicians were OF the belief that possibly
death had resulted from some form Of
poison contained in the meat. The theory
of foul play in tho matter is secuted. as
the family who are among the most prom
inent in the town, are not believed to have
an enemy in the world. M. Brown. who
IS the Rutland railroad agent at Whiting,
Is one OF the most popular young men in
town.
Two ether persons who were at the
Brown house and ate some of the pork
from which the meat had been taken, be
ing recently killed, were stricken and
showed the same signs OF poisoning. bat
