THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Di-
gested = Some StomaChs Must
Have Help.

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
true statement as far as it goes, and a
great many dyspeptics go only this Tar
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 other
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 own
capacity as it is for a man to starve
himself to relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business:
Likewise the sensible dySoeptic will
employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of a great portion of digestive
action. Their component parts are
Identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretionS of the stomach.
and they simply take up the grind and
carry on the work just the same as a
good. strong. healthy stomach would
do It.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural III 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
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stOmachs. By this
means the body and brain get all the
good. nutritious food they need and
fhe man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and per-
form his duties. He could not possibly

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. by reliev-
ing the stomach of its work, enable it
to recuperate and regain its normal
health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues just as she
heals and knits the bone of broken
limb, which is of course not used dur
ing the process of repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 80 cents box
and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell something
in the place of that's "just as good :
Their unqualified merit and success and
the universal demand for them has
placed them within the reach of every
one.

GARTER DEFEATS cHoYNsKI.
Both Fighters and Referee Arrested
After the Battle.

Boston, Jan. 20-Kid Carter of Brook
lyn knocked out Joe Choynski of Chi
cago after 2 minutes of fighting in the
first round before the Criterion Ath-
letic club last night. Choynski had the
better of the round up to the knockout,
when Carter landed a vicious right
hand jab for the stomach and the
Chicago man went down and out.
The blow looked low to the specta-
tors, and the referees decision award
ing the bout to Carter, WIS greeted
with cries of Foul.
Choynski was out nearly four min
utes and appeared in great distress.
The men were matched to fight fiji
teen rounds.
Carter and Choynski were arrested,
charged with mutual assault. Eight
other men. including seconds and ref
cree and the managers of the club were
also arrested on the charge of aiding
and abetting a prize fight. Each was
bailed in the sum of 5000.

THE NEW BRIDGE AT EUDoRA
City and Two Counties Agree to Share
the Expense.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 20.-At a joint
meeting of the county commissioners of
Leavenworth and Douglas counties and
representatives of the city of Eudora,
held in Eudora, it was decided that
Douglas county and Leavenworth coun-
ty should each pay $4,000 toward the
rebuilding of the Eudora bridge across
the Kaw, and the city of Eudora prom
Used to bear the remainder of the ex-
pense, amounting to $8,453.
The Eudora bridge was washed out by
the May flood last year and SO far moth
ing has been done toward rebuilding it.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the best way to build the bridge. Some
favor building a bridge entirely across
the river, while other think it best to
build from either side to an island in
the middle of the river and fill the is
land in enough so that road may be
built connecting the two sections OF
the bridge. The expense would be
practically the same in either case, as
making use of the island would save
only about 400 feet of bridge Those in
favor of using the island hold that it
would be less expensive to maintain the
bridge if built in that manner.

Neosha River Is Afire Over the
Surface at Chanute.
Waters Boil and Bubble With
Earthquake Effect.
GAS WELLS THE CAUSE
Big One Near the Bank Is
Plugged at the Top.
Hot Air Fuel Escapes Through
Ground to the River.

Chanute, Kan, Jan. 20.-A curious
phenomenon is apparent in the Ne
OSLO river east of the city to-day For
a space of about 300 square yards OPP
posite Riverside Park the waters of
the stream are in ceaseless agitation,
boiling as if from sub-aqueous fires,
and on the north side along the bank
the water is covered with a sheet of
flames, which rises up out of the river
to a height of two feet
The fire was first observed by Gas
superintendent Manley. He knew at
once that the condition was caused by
natural gas which had escaped from
one of the many wells adjacent and
was forcing its way to the air through
vents in the river bottom, causing the
waters to be perturbed and bursting
into flame as soon as the current came
IN contact with the air and the blaze.
Mr.. Marley thinks that the gas is
escaping from the big well drilled in
by the Garden City Oil & Gas Co.
Ihis well was wonder, showing a
capacity of 100000 cubic feet a day
when it was tested. Its product has
never been utilized, and the gas has
accumulated until now the pressure
must be something terrific.
The well was not packed, but was
simply capped at the surface. It is
Mr.. Manley's idea that a piece of cas-
ing has broken a short distance below
the top of the ground, and the gas has
rushed out and percolated through all
the earth for yards around the WELL
following up the vents in the ground
and making others by its powerful
current.
The well is about 100 yards from the
river, where the fire may be seen. There
seem to be four vents in the bottom of
the stream from which gas is escaping,
and three of these patches of troubled
water are ablaze 1t forms an amusing
sight to the spectator who beholds it for
the first time. There rising apparently
off the surface of the stream to height
of two feet is a fierce conhagration which
burns steadily, neither consumed nor
quenched by the hurrying waters which
pass beneath its fiery base.
W. E Barker, secretary of the COM
pany which owns the well. was notified
and went to the scene this morning to see
what might be done. Mr.. Manley fears
that the gas may burst out of the earth
close to some of the other gas wells in
the immediate vicinity and become ig-
nited, resulting in the loss of much val
liable property. There is no way of ex-
tinguishing the blaze on the river, and
the only way it can be subdued will be by
putting an end to the supply of gas by
which it is fed.
It is probable that a packer may have
to be put in the bottom of the well and
the broken casing drawn and a perfect
piece substituted, if Mr.. Man1ey's idea
as to the cause of the trouble Is cor
rect.

Gamblers Have Fled.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 20.-The gam
blers and the proprietors of the large
gambling houses here have gotten out
of the way of the subpoenas Of the
Wyandotte county grand jury. Sub
poenas were issued for some of them
early yesterday and two deputy sheriffs
searched for them the greater part of
the day. but none of them could be
located. Some of the gambling houses
have been open this month and the
proprietors were feeling secure in the
belief that the grand jury would not
disturb them, but things have taken a
different turn. The greater part of the
time of the jury yesterday afternoon
was devoted to investigating the viola
tons of the Cubbison gambling laws.
