RICH MEN ARE NOT ALL HAPPY.
CroesWs, King of Lydia, Had Troubles
of His Own, and There Are Others.

Croesus, the John D. Rockefeller of
the kingdom of Lydia was very Well-to
do in worldly goods and chattels. AS
rich as Croesus" is a saying about g.
500 years old. He had his troubles,
however, and some of them were full
grown. He was taken captive once by
Cyrus and only saved himself from
being burned alive by quoting say
ing from Scion, the Sage. He finally
had to flee his kingdom for parts I'M
known.
Many OF the rich mans troubles to-
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds of rich, heavy foods at
irregular times, lack of proper exer-
else, undue mental strain, unnatural
stimulants, etc. and are commonly
known as Indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach. They are serious
troubles alright, but not ouly can they
be avoided, but can also be cured, and
that without loss of time or proper
food and nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief of dyspeptics, rich and
poor alike. There is no such thing as
stopping their onward progress now.
A great nation has placed its stamp of
approval upon their noble work. The
thousands and thousands of cures
they have effected and the happiness
resulting therefrom have made their
name a household word throughout
the land.
The story of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets can be told in a word. They
actually do the work that the weak
and wasted stomach is unable to do
and allow it to recuperate and re-
gain its strength. They contain all
the essential properties that the gas
trio juice and other digestive fluids do.
and they digest the food just as a
sound and we'll stomach would. They
relieve the stomach just as one rested
and refreshed workman relieves the
one on duty that is tired and worn,
and nature does her own work of res
toration. 1t is a simple, natural pro-
cess that a child can understand. You
can eat all you want without fear of
results. Stuarts dyspepsia tablets are
for sale by all druggists at so cents
a box. Druggists all know better
than 10 try to get along without them,
as the demand for them is great and
universal.

AT FEET OF ROOSEVELT
The Mississippi Republican Commit
tee stands.


Jackson, Miss, Jan. 1.-The RepubI-
can State Committee met here to-day
and fixed March % as the time and
jackson as the place for holding the
State Convention, at which delegates
will be chosen to the National Conven-
tion in Chicago. Resolutions indors-
ing President Roosevelt were adopted
unanimously. They We're the follow
ing
Whereas, The administration of
President Roosevelt, both as to nation
al and international affairs, has been
eminently successful and satisfactory;
Therefore, be it resolved, by the Re-
publican State Committee of MISSISSIPPI
pi, composed of fifty-one members,
That it is the sense of the Republicans
of Mississippi that a continuance of
his administration is essential to the
welfare and prosperity of the country,
and this committee cordially declares
for him as his own successor, and
points with pride to his conduct of
public affairs, to the splendid person
mel of his appointees, and to his able,
honest, progressive and courageous,
non sectional administration; and that
in so doing, it but anticipates the ac-
ton of the Republican State Conven-
ton which meets March %, 1904, to Sc
lect delegates to the National Republi-
can Convention that assemblies in Chi
cago June %, 1904, which in turn, we
are confident will register the will of
the rank and file of the party by plac-
ing upon it's victorious banner the
name of this illustrious American, pure
patriot and dauntless soldier.
Resolved. further. That the speedy
construction of the Panama canal is
necessary to the continued prosperity
of the nation, and especially to that
of the Gulf states. and it is our DELHI
crate conviction that those who oppose
the construction of the same. under
whatever guise. are consciously or un-
consciously. enemies to the best inter-

DAY OF FUNERALS.
Church Bells TOIIed Solemn Re-
QUEENS to the Dead.

SOAcIHh
QUEENS to the Dead.
Chicago, Jan. Church bells tolling
at noon, business activity suspended,
many celebrations postponed and long
lines of funerals making their way to
the outlying districts where the ceme-
teries are situated-these circum-
stances evidenced Chicago's outward
grief for the victims of the Iroquois
Theater disaster to-day. Priests and
ministers of the gospel went from flu
neral to funeral to-day as they will to-
morrow and Monday.
The unidentified dead will be kept as
long as possible at the morgues. If
no one then comes to lay claim to the
bodies, they will be buried at the city's
expense.
By common assent of the clergy
Lead, Kindly Light" the hymn writ
ten by Cardinal Newman, is being sung
at all the funerals.
When it was II o'clock the chimes
of the Northside Church tolled dirge,
and the northeast wind carried it over
the city. Before the first notes had
died away another chime further
south sounded a mournful information.
Then a hundred bells broke forth in
mighty dlaphaSOn whose IRON means
seemed to reach the gray clouds and
echoed back again in solemn concord.
The bells tolled for an hour
A snow storm added to the solem-
nifty An intense quietness in the
atmosphere itself, the absence of all
holiday appearances and the numer-
Gus funeral corteges as they moved
slowly through the snow storm, while
the church bells were slowly tolling,
combined to make the occasion one as
peculiarly cherries as it was solemn
and impressive.
The City Hall, except absolutely nee
essary departments, was closed to-day.
The Board of Trade closed an hour
earlier than usual, and d number of
mercantile and manufacturing estab-
lshments also closed early. The big
State street department stores closed
their doors at noon. The belief of the
proprietors had been that the afford
ing of facilities for the bereaved thou
sands to secure mourning goods by
keeping the stores open would be an
act of mercy; but this belief was al
tered, the demand apparently having
been quite fully met. Nearly all the
trade of the hours the stores remained
open was in the class of goods men
toned.
Thirty-four teachers in the public
schools are known to have lost their
lives in the fire, and the schools will
be closed Monday in their memory.

POLICEMEN QUELLED
PANIC IN THEATER.

New York, Jan. Am immense holi-
day audience, which packed the Thalia
Theater on the. Bowery at to-days
matinee performance, all but repeated
the scenes of wild panic of the Chi
cago theater fire when a shrill cry Of
Fire" ran through the house.
Only the chance circumstance that
several policemen We're standing in the
lobby at the moment and met the
emergency with strong measures
checked the wild, unreasoning frenzy
of the audience in their desire to es-
cape from the building by the main
entrance. The clubs and fists met
the rush the moment it began, the
police and the employees of the theater
rushing through the crowd and liter
ally lifting the leaders from their feet
and forcing them into seats.
The attack of the police in front
was as sudden as had been the fire
alarm and served to quiet the crowd
and avert what could not have failed
to have been murderous stampede.

A DOLLAR DINNER"
IN HONOR OF BRYAN.
One Is Being Arranged at Lincoln
for His Homecoming.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 2.-An invitation
signed by T. D. Worrall, Bryan DEM
ocrat, asks all the faithful to ban
quet Jan. IS. After telling of the hon.
ors conferred on Mr.. Bryan abroad,
the call declares:
loyal Democrats, therefore, deem it
only fit and proper that this splendid
American citizen and great Democrat
be honored by his fellow Democrats
upon his return home and to that end
are arranging a Dollar Dinner" a,
be held at Lindell Hotel, Lincoln, on
Jan. is, 1904.
1T is to be a Democratic banquet,
in fact as well as in name, given by
Democrats, who not only refuse to
apologize for remaining true to the
principles of the Democracy as enun-
ciated in the Chicago and Kansas City
platform, but deny with true Demo-
cratic emphasis that they owe any
apology to the Democrats who desert
ed the party during those campaigns
and lent their aid and comfort to the
enemy"

New York, Jan. 2.-Snow beginning
early this morning, with brief alterna-
tions of hail and rain, combined with
bitter clustering gales to create
condition of intense discomfort in New
York to-day. During the day the fail
was not sufficiently heavy to seriously
impede street car traffic, although dur
ing the evening rush hours the Broad
way cars were frequently stalled.
Owing to the storm most of the
theaters were practically deserted.
Late tonight the storm increased in
force, heavy northwest wind piling
the snow in drifts and giving promise
of trouble on the surface lines to-
morrow. The local Weather Bureau
reported that up to 10 o'clock about
seven inches of snow had fallen, and
that there was a prospect of the down
fall continuing all night to a probable
depth of ten inches or more.

Chronic catarrh is so undoubtedly
and directly the result of an ordinary
cold that it would be quite correct to
call chronic catarrh a settled or old
cold. At least one-fourth of the in
habitants north of the fortieth degree
OF latitude are more or less afflicted
with catarrh in some form. To saw
that this vast multitude of people is
miserable is only to give a mild state
ment of the case.
When TO Treat Cold.
The treatment of colds ought to be-
gin with the appearance of the first
symptoms. Since a cold has the in
variable effect of producing conges-
ton of some mucous surface. the rem
edy for IT ought to operate there also
The compound Peruna was devised
with especial reference to this effect
1t operates by increasing the circula-
uon in the mucous membranes of the
whole body, and no matter where the
cold may have settled, whether in the
head throat, lungs, kidneys or urinary
organs Peruna win Immediately re-
heve the congested membrane and
stop the discharge.

from eight to ten seconds slower than best

new book, just out, estimates the difference
at ten seconds.
II we take all the facts and circumstances
In consideration 1t is probable that the real
difference in speed between George Wilkes
and Cresceus (both rugged the ssme) would
not be more than six or seven seconds.
This Is a guess, Of course, but look at the
reason for It. George Wilkes's record does
not indicate his speed limit. He worked a
half mile over the old Union track on Long
Island In .04 hitchtd to a a l20pound
road wagon. He trotttd a quarter In 20
seconds hitched to an s5pound wagon. 10
this trial he was timed by Wesley Bishop

horse In the world easily. In this Mr.. Bus
hey is entirely mistaken. Modern speed
