Are Confronted by Want and Priva-

PITTSBURG, Feb. 5.-Now that
the first shock of the Harwick mine
disaster is over and the widows and
bereaved children are drying their
tears and facing the stern necessities
of life with many puzzle as to whers
the pennies for their daily bread are
coming from, the question of possible
damage suits is heard Of the hun
dreds who will be wholly or partially
destitute, now that the main support
of the family is gone, there are many
whose future would be much brighter
could they know that there is a chance
of recovering from the owners of the
mine even some small sum to replace
the loss they have suffered at the hands
of the company
Truth is, and long experience has
proved it, there is small hope of OBJ
tanning anything from, the coal COM
panies for such accidents as befel the
unfortunate 1874 in the Harwick shaft.
In all the history of accidents. in both
the bituminous and the anthracite
regions. there are few instances where
the relatives of the dead or injured
have recovered money. Case after case
has been tried. based on the claim that
the accident was due to the negligence
of the employer. But it is hard to
show this and the great majority are
non-suited before they get to the

TENDENCY or THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science 10
toward preventive measures. The best
thought Of the world is being given
to the subject. 1t Is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of influenza tgrip),
and It has been observed that this
remedy ,counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven In many
thousands OF cases In which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence Of colds and grip In recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger IL apprehended until 1t is sud
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest then II is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. BE
on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold 10 contracted. II always cures.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do It by Starving It Either
Let a Subs titute Do the Work.

The old adage, "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" applies
just as we'll to the stomach, one of
the most important organs of the
human system, as it does to the man,
himself
If your stomach is worn out and
rebels against being further taxed be-
You'd it's limit, the only sensible thing
you can do is to give it a rest. En-
ploy a substitute for a short time and
see if it will not more than repay you
in results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
willing and most efficient substitute.
They themselves digest every bit of
food in the stomach in just the same
way that the stomach itself would,
were it well. They contain all the
essential elements that the gastric
Juice and other digestive fluids Of the
stomach contain and actually act just
the same and do just the same work
as the natural fluids would do, were
the stomach well and sound. They.
therefore, relieve the stomach, just
as one workman relieves another, and
permit it to rest and recuperate and
regain its normal health and strength.
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer
in Chicago. Read what he says: II
was engaged in the most momentous
undertaking of my life in bringing
about the coalition of certain91great
interests that meant much to: me as
well as my clients. 1t was not the
work of days, but of months. II was
at very critical time my stomach
went clear back on me. The undue
mental strain brought 1t abmt and
hurried up what would have happeped
later on.
What / ate I had to literally force
down and that was source of'misery

time. Ny head ached, was sluggish
and began to lose my ambition 70

pretty gloomy for me and / ennfided

drug store and brought box up to
the office.
Il had not taken a quarter of that
| box before 1 found that they would
do all the work my stomach ever did
| and as a rest or vacation was out of
the question for me, I determined to
give my stomach a vacation. 1 kept
right on taking the tablets and braced

Two MORE DARING
HOLDUPS REPORTED
highwHmen Stop RanChers and at the Point of
ReyOIverS Relieve Them of 1heir
vauabIeS.

Two more daring hold-upe on county
roads were reported today. The latest
victims are W. X. Decker, q rancher
from White Bluff Prarie, and w. w.
Kay, of Chester. a small town on the
Northern Pacific railway.
Decker was so badly ratified by the
unexpected meeting with the highway
men that he has just recovered his
breath and only now reported that he
was relieved of $35 and a watch. He
was on his way home and was about
IL miles from town when two masked
men stepped from either side of the
road. Each grabbed the horse by the
bit with one hand, and leveled revolt
vers at the startled rancher with the
other. They then forced him to give
up his valuables.
Mr.. Decker thinks they were not
mounted, as after they allowed him
to 60 on he stopped at bend in the
road and could hear NO noise Of re-
treating hoofs.

let him 60.
