Mr.. McCue told those who came in
that some one had entered the house
upon their return from church; that
he had been knocked senseless and
his wife probably killed. An investi-
cation led to the arrest on the charge

days before had retired from the high

Mrs. McCue had received the con-

Washington, Nov 5.-The advisable
ity of increasing interest in rnarksman-
ship among the soldiers of the Tinted
States army has been recognized by the
army authorities, and, in connection
with the work of the National BOARD
Tor the Promotion of Rifle Practice
with the militia and civilians. it is in
teresting to note that there is a plan
on foot to increase the pay of soldiers
in the regular army who qualify as
expect marksmen.
In the infantry and cavalry the ex-
pert rifeman now receives 81 a month
extra for the year in which he ouali-
f1es as an expert. but after once win
ming this inadequate prize there is no
additional reason for the men to keen
up their standing. 1t has therefore
been suggested that there should be a
fair-sized increase of pay for quail
ncauons of this kind and a small one
Tor each succeeding qualification
thereafter. In this manner the mans
pay would be increased each year ac-
cording to his accuracy in markham
snip and eventually the amount re-
ceiVed would become commensurate
with the value to the government of

POOR one.
proposed Rate of Increase in Pay.
With this end in view, it has been
recommended that each enlisted man
on his first qualification as an expert
rineman receive a monthly increase in
his pay of 81 and an additional increase
OF 81 per month after every other
yearly qualification as an exnert
marksman so long as his service re-
mains continuous. 1t is further recon-
mended that each enlisted man on his
first qualification as sharpshooter re-
ceive a monthly increase of 81 and an
additional increase of so cents per
month for every qualification as
sharpshooter so long as his service re-
mains continuous It is also suggested
that instead of donating medals at the
various competitions as the sole prize
for the ones winning thereat, the fol-
lowing increases in the enlisted mans
pay in addition to the medal prizes be

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down to
First Principles.

A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent Eastern cities, by too close
attention to business too little exer-
else and too many club dinners, final
ly began to pay natures tax, levied
in the form of chronic stomach trou-
BILE; the failure of his digestion
brought about a nervous irritability,
making it impossible to apply himself
to his daily business, and finally de-
ranging the kidneys and heart.
In his own words he says: II con-
suited one physician after another,
and each one seemed to understand
my case, but all the same they each
failed to bring about the return of my
former digestion, appetite and vigor.
For two years l went from pillar to
post, from one sanitarium to another.
I gave up smoking, quit coffee and
even renowned my daily glass or two
of beer, but without any marked inn
provement.
Friends had often advised me to
try well known proprietary medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
l had often perused the newspaper
advertisements of the remedy but
never took any stock in advertised
medicines nor could believe a 50-cent
patent medicine would touch my case.
ITO make a long story short, /
finally bought couple of packages at
the nearest drug store and took two
or three tablets after each meal, and
occasionally tablet between meals,
when 1 felt any feeling of nausea or
discomfort
Il was surprised at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general
health, and before the two packages
were gone l was certain that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure
completely, and they did not disap-
INT -, i 81 =
JOY my coffee and cigar, and no one
would suppose I had ever known
the horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity / wrote
to the proprietors of the remedy ask
ing for information as to what the
tablets contained. and they replied
that the principal ingredients were
aseptic pepsin government test,
malt distase and other natural diges-
tives, which digest food regardless Of
the condition OF the stomach"
The root of the matter is this, the
digestive elements contained in
Stuarrs Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
ach chance to recuperative and the
nerves and whole system receive the
nourishment which can only come
from food stimulants and nerve
tonics never give real strength, they
give fictitious strength. invariably

featured from our daily food, and IL
you can insure It's prompt action and

OF so good and wholesome remedy
as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. YOU

W0MEN'S CONVENTIONS.

Marked Contrast Between Those of
Thirty or Forty Years Ago and Now.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Several hundred representative wom-
en- of Illinois are taking part in the
proceedings of the tenth annual state
convention of the Federated Women's
Clubs at Danville. In one particular
this convention of women is in marked
contrast with the womens conventions
of thirty and forty years ago.
In the older conventions the main
topic of discussion was woman's suf-
frage or woman's rights. Woman was
pictured by strong women as suffering
under great wrong because she was
denied the privilege of voting. The
conventions were dominated by aggres-
sive spirits preaching a new crusade
for the progress of the race through
the acknowledgment of women.
The programmes were limited to dis
cussions of womans rights, the chief
of which was the suffrage. The elo-
quence of the conventions-and there
were eloquent women then. too-was
given to please for suffrage. The le-
gal knowledge of the conventions-and
more often than not great lawyers
were present-was given to arguments
for Woman's suffrage. Woman's suf-
frage was the central thought of every
speech, and woman's suffrage was the
subject over which convention battles
ragged.
In the convention at Danville. made
up of delegates from Isl clubs. and
representing a membership of 2A0eO
women, woman's suffrage is not dis
cussed, and is not mentioned on the
programme. The women scheduled for
speeches are to speak of schools and
their needs of work in social settle
ments, of conditions in our factories.
of the field of industrialism occupied
by women. of domestic science. of the
home training of children, of literature
music, and art in the home and in viii
lagos and cities.
The men invited to address the con-
vention are to talk. not on the legal
status of woman as a voter, not of
the wrongs of women under man-made
laws, but on how children in our large
cities may be rescued from crime. how
manual training may be utilized in
the school and the home, how women
may contribute TO the betterment of
society in general.
1t will not be denied that the women
In the convention at Danville as truly
represent their sex as did those of the
conventions of thirty years ago, who
had different idea of woman's sphere
and mission. II will not be denied that
the clubs represented by the several
hundred delegates at Danville are as
fully alive to woman's interests as
were the clubs represented in suffrage
conventions. It may even be assumed
that the women at Danville represent
in their delegate capacity more kinds
of women than did the delegates to the
older conventions.
Therefore, the contrast between the
old and the new conventions indicates
that the woman's point Of view to-day
is different from the woman's point OF
view thirty and forty years ago. n
the difference between the old and new
conventions does not mean that, what
does Il mean7
