 One grain of the active principle in Etuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat. eggs or other wholesome food. and this claim has been anyone can perform for himself In the following manner: Cut hard-b boiled eggs into very small pieces. as it should be if masticated, place the egg and two or three tablets In a bottle Or jar containing warm water, heated to 9s degrees (the temperature of the body1, and keep 1t st this temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as 1t would have been in the healthy stomach$ of a hun
 Ths point of this experiment is that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle it will do to the egg or meat in the stomach, and nothing else Will rest and 4nvigorate the stomach so safely and effectually tablets with safety and beneht if its digestion is weak and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular daily use arc easily explained when 1t Is vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal which min gles with the food and digest 1t thor oughlY, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate.
 Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines. which simply irritate and inhame the futestines.
 When enough food is eaten and promptly digested there will be no con- Btipatipns nor in fact will there be dls- ease of any kind, because good digss- tion means good health In every oF- gan.
 The merit and success of stuarts pys- pepsia Tablets are worldwide and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cts Tor full-sized package in every efu8 store n the United States and Canada ab well as in Europe.

REPUBLICANS AT eooDWArER.
3. w. Walker and others Speak on
Fifth District Contest.

Goodwater, September 2o.-(Specia1)-
B. w. Walker, candidate for congress
opposing J. Thomas Hefiin. o. r. Humid
ley and ]. T. Blakemore spoke on the
streets here today to good crowd. The
republican speakers seemed to all be of
different political faith. Mr.. Walker be-
ing on the white wing of the republican
party and Mr.. Hundley being a recent
republican convert on the black wing and
Mr.. Blakemore being a life long republi-
can. and each tried to defend his posi-
ton. When they finished their speeches
the crowd called for D. II. Riddle one
of the candidates who was defeated by
Mr. Helm in the recent democratic pri-
mary. Mr.. Riddle responded and said
that he agreed with Captain Walker in
one thing and that was the party made
a mistake in nominating Helm but two
wrongs did not make right and that
1t would be a more serious mistake to
defeat Helm with Walker, and before he
got through discussing the national is
sues and ridiculing the attitude the
speakers had placed themselves In by
their past political record both Captain
Walker and Mr.. Hundley got very ner-
vous.
Mr.. Riddle said the policy of President
Roosevelt was particularly offensive to
the south and that while he fully en-
dorsed the cause of the United States
or the state In doing all he could to stop
lynching he thought the law against con-
spiracies should be enforced everywhere
alike and that a great field is open for
the operation of detectives and anti-con-
spiracy statutes of the United States in
prosecuting before day" clubs.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN.
crosstles Piled on Central of Georgia
Track Near Columbus.

Columbus, Ga, September 9O.-(Special)
Had not an extra freight train struck
a pile Of cross ties and cleared the track
the morning passenger train from Sa-
vannah to Birmingham might have been
wrecked at point thirteen miles east
of this city yesterday.
Train wreckers made a desperate at
tempt to wreck the passenger by piling
cross ties to a height of three or four
feet, the arrangement suggesting a Sec
tion Of rail- fence and making a for
midable obstruction.
1t SO happened, however, that the ex-
ira freight pulled out of Columbus bound
for Macon at an early hour in the morning
and when the heavy engine, which was Of
the 'battleship" variety, struck the nile
of erossties, they were scattered in ali
directions. The steel pilot to these big
engines is very low and this acted as a
kind OF scoop and sent the crossties fly
Ing on both sides of the track. Neither the
engine or any of the cars were deraied.
Engineer Bozeman was In charge of ti.e
train.
The Central Railway officials will sift
the matter to the bottom.

Kamakura letter in Chicago Tribune
Twenty years ago one had to ride or
go in jinrikishas all the rs miles from
Yokohama to Kamakura. and the poor,
lean old priests in the monastery by the
Dai Butsu warmly welcomed the rare
foreign visitors. The compound was a
bare stretch of baked clay. and the image
baked in the sun without green relief or
back ground. One priest learned to take
photographs. and he permitted his pat
rons to climb over and sit at will on
the lap. the thumbs, the ears of the

were photographed in groups in the hands
of the Buddha.
It was surprising and shocking at the
time, l remember, but the priests per-
mtted it. and kept a ladder for the pur-
pose of mounting the pedestal.
With railway extension the increase of
foreign touris travel, and the conversion
of Kamakura. into summer resort, a
village of seashore hotels and Villas, the
fortunes of the Jodo monastery mended
the place was taken in hand. the gate
ways and grounds put in order, trees
planted, and visitors were forbidden to
mount the image. The exclusive privilege

Sergeant Goooh TestifIes.
FIRST Sergeant Victor Gooch testified
as follows: Il fell into line with the
soldiers at the armory and marched to
the jail. l did not hear any orders from
the sheriff to either of the officers Of
the company. I was instructed to nost
the sentrtes, which I did. There were
several on the posts and about ten al
the jail.
AS the crowd made its rush l went m
the corner where it broke through and
there aided In holding 1t at bay for sew
eral minutes. The only Instructions re-.
ceived from the officers were not to
load until orders to that effect were is-
sued by Captain Hay. My Instructions To
the sentries were to hold the crowd back
from the ropes. did not instruct them
anything about the loading and firing ex-
eept as | have stated, that they were
to await further orders
II believe that IL the soldiers had baan
ordered to fire the four men on duty at.
the corner could have easily held the
mob had they been reinforced by the
reserve at the Jail. We could have he'd
the jail had we been ordered to fire. 1
heard Captain Hay order the soldiers not
to fire unless the sheriff told them to do
SO, after they had retreated to the jail"
Lieutenant Hay Recalled.
Lieutenant Hay was called back and
testified that he could not remember
whether or not Sheriff Rodgers gave
Captain Hay instructions to hold the jail
and protect the prisoner. He said:
Sheriff Rodgers did not give me or
ders to hold the jail and protect the
prisoner neither did he say ~ want you
to protect the jail and hold the prisoner"
at any time, nor did he say that in the
presence of my brother when we first
reached the jail. He gave no orders
whatever to Captain Hay In my presence
regarding holding the JAIL"
Captain Hay then came back to the
stand and swore that Sheriff Rodgers
never did give him any orders to hold the
jail, or to take charge OF the jail and
| the prisoner
The counsel for the company and the
officers then stated that they had no
more evidence to offer, and the court an
nounced that 1t did not have any more.
The counsel for the defense did not wish
to make any arguments, and the court
adjourned subject to the call of the pres
ident.
