but the food they eat is Of no benefit
to them, they gain no flesh and feel
no stronger. The fact is the stomach
is too weak to perform its work, and
the little appetite they once had is
soon gone. The blood becomes more
thin and watery, bringing on faint
sick spells with loss of memory and
ambition. There is remedy for all
this that acts in the right way. 1t is
called DR.. Gums Blood and Nerve
Tonic. and is sold by all druggists for
75c. per box, or boxes for 81. 1t
turns the food you eat into rich. red
blood, making flesh and strength,
creating an appetite because the sys-
tenn demands sustenance. For sale

II You Have Dyspepsia, Read This.
The old way OF taking pepsin, bis
muth. etc., to cure dyspepsia Ii all
wrong. They may be put up in tab
let's or in liquid, the result Is just the
same. The object Is to create arti-
fetal digestion, but this does not
make cure. Stop taking the pepsin,
ETC., and you have your dyspepsia or
Indigestion back again. People use
cocaine or opium for nervous trou-
bles and sick headache, ii does not
cure, stop taking the drugs and the
pain and distress return. The only
Common Sense Method Is to drive out
of the system the cause of dyspepsia
and sick headache, by cleansing the
stomach and bowels, at the same
time using a. medicine that will act on
the liver. This forces through the
glands of the stomach the digestive
fiuid that nature intended. In this
way you cure dyspepsia. The medi-
cine that cures dyspepsia by this
method is called DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills. Druggists sell these pills
at 25c. per box. 1t only takes one pill
for dose. Sold by e. G. Shepherd,
druggist.

RODDER WAS 4 BOLD ONE
Conyersed With Members Of House,
hold While Ransacking House.
L.
Mr.. R. K. SEIBERT A VICTIM
The Homes Of Mr. R. S. EicaeIberger and
Mr.. Price Also Entered But
Nothing Was Taken.

One of the boldess robberies TO occur
in this city for some time was com
mitted Sunday morning between %
and o'clock at the residence OF Mr..
Robert Seibert on West Race street.
Without doubt the robber, whose
identity is not known, displayed the
most nerve ever shown by house
breaker here, which helped him to-
make his escape.
The man, who from all reports WAS
negro, entered the residence from
the rear, gaining entrance to the house
through window off the rear porch.
From the kitchen he passed to the
front room, were he 'confisicated
everything Of valne and what he
could conveniently carry. He took
Mr.. Seibert's gold watch and chain,
his gold cuff buttons and glasses,
which were in his clothing on the
rack and pair of new shoes. After
taking these articles, he started to
ransacked the house for other val
uables, but he was abruptly stopped
by Mr.. Hite, who is residing with Mr..
Seibert.
The robber made complete tour OF
the house, going to the second floor
by the front stairs and coming down
the rear stairway. In his tour he
passed through the sleeping apart
menr of Mr.. Hite, which is in the rear
of the house on the second floor, and
who was awake at the time. In pass
ing the bed he said good morning to
Mr.. Hite and paused for few min
utes to converse with him, and before
leaving the room asked him to come
down stairs as he wished to speak to
him about something. As it was
rather dark in the room, Mr.. Hite
supposed it was Mr.. Seibert or some
other member of the household, and
at once dressed and went down stairs,
but to his surprise he found no one.
Other members of the household heard
the walking, which was very heavy,
but supposed it to be members OF the
family, and they did not suspect that
they were the victims of robbers until
Mr.. Seibert went for his clothing, but
by this time the nervy individual had
made good his estate.
HIS NEXT STOP.
The home of Mr.. Robert Eichel-
berger, on West Race street onlv few
doors below Mr.. Seibert. was also en-
tered, and it is supposed by the
same man from the description, bat
here he was scared away before he
succeeded in taking ANYTHING. His
entrance was the same as at Mr.. Sell
bert's coming in through the kitchen
window. After getting i'll the house
he unlocked the door, so that he
could get out easily. He was sitting
on the edge of the bed of the domestic
when discovered. She was awakened
by his walking, and she soon aroused
the entire household by her screams.
He made his escape before he could be
apprehended.

The Future or This Vast Region Demands Mar

M IN Europe and the far east, are
SE based upon the development
W0V OF Siberia To see that vast,
tx and as yet undeveloped,
country the granary of the
world Is the ambition of the Russian
government To force its development
Russia has been willing to make many
sacrifices, and 1t is in line with this idea
that she has appropriated so much Of
China's territory. A study of the agri-
cultural possibilities Of Siberia is inter-
esting. especially at this time.
The population Of Siberia amounts to
about 5.700, 900 people. This figure alone
suffices to show OF what development the
country is yet capable In view of its
enormous material resources. AS a
matter Of fact, colonization, more or
less systematic. begun but recently,
after the government undertook its reg
ulation and direction. immigration,
which during the eighties amounted to
but 10000 to 10000 per year, has been
steadily swelling since 1892, and reached
about 224 900 in the year 1899. 1t is thus
clear that Siberia contains an available
area for the cultivation of cereals. fer
almost all these immigrants are agri-
oulturists and continue their occupation
on the new sites.
Official estimates of the Russian gov
eminent, given some 20 years ago, put
the cultivable area as high as 26S,000
English square miles. or 32.4 per cent. Of
the total area for western Siberia and
653, 100 square miles for eastern Siberia.

Says Standard Defeated County Seat.

A reader OF the TRIBUNE residing
In the northern portion of this
county, and n rcputcd good citizen,
writes the TRIBUNE this week "A
somewhat lengthy letter, In which
he charges the Standard with hav-
ing been the main cause oil the
defeat Of this city at the last
county seat election. He contends
TINT because OF the abuse hcaped
upon some OF the republican
nominees OF this county Mt that
time without cause or provocation
by the Standard and some Of its
leaders, when the republicans had
no means OF defense, did the whole
job. That such unfair and yet un-
successful means caused many
republicans to vote against the city,
thereby injuring 1t thousands
of dollars and lost IL many citizens,
when decent consideration for
their feelings would have turned
many votes and saved that
election and the big expense OF an
other. This matter is something
entirely new TO the TRIBUNE editor,
and IL one OF the mistakes which
comes to towns and people somc-
times from the doings OF indiscrete
politicians. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that even this city will
gather wisdom from experience,
and henceforth continue to grow
brighter, because OF having voted
the republican ticket from top to
bottom.

will be hercabouts for the next ten
days or longer, examining four
proposed rural delivery routes from

he will make his maps and reports.
That the people of Montgomery
