Starved to Death.

Our text today is the story of the
miser who taught his ass to live on
straw, of which he gave him small
er portion every day.
Just as the mser had got him so
trained as To eat one straw a day
the poor ass died.
He is an ass who starVes himself to
death-as thousands are doing, misled
by foolish teachers-because their
stomachs have become too weak,
through neglect or disease, to do the
work viii in p';tu-a has I'ro' I5el Tor
their stoma ms to do.
Because the engine is out of gear,
would you consign it to the junk
heap?
Why, no. Mend ~
Commit slow suicide because your
digestive organs leak?
Certainly not! Take Stuarts Dys-
pepsa Tablets.
One thing is sure as shooting.
You can never get a new stomach.
You must mend it. or it will lead
you miserable existence.
The only way to mend 1t is TO take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and Scien-
tifically demonstrated by the many
thousands whom Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine,
mineral waters, pills and slow, suicidal
starvation had failed.
These methods are ali unScientlhc-
therefore false.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are scien
tific-therefore true and successful.
Having cured so many thousands
many of whom doubtless have suffer-
ed more than YOU do-do we claim too
much when we say that Stuart'S Dys-
pepsia Tablets will surely do good to
YOU?
Surely not.
Especially wn n we make it plain
that no nromi1e is made to cure more
than one disease dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
positive cure for just this one disease.
They are scientific combination OF
ingredients which, search our the weak
spots in all the digestive organs and
make them strong and well.
They have an immediate digestive
action on undigested food, and thus,
while curing weak organs they at the
same time help them to do their
work.
They thus stand for all that is good
in the medical treatment of Dyspepsia
and for nothing that is bad.
They are not a fad but q fact.
They are safe, pleasant, certain anu
permanent, and can be taken by the
most delicate invalids without fear of
harmful results.

NORTHERN PACIFIC TINS.
wsidsnfsid's Petition In Peter Power
 Case Dismissed.

St. Paul, March 14.-A decision dis missing the appeal of Camille Weiden- field from a decree in the United States circuit court dismissing the appellants intervening petition in the case of Peter Power against the Northern Pacific Railway company was handed down by the United States circuit court of ap- peals to-day.
 The suit originated in the district court of Hennepin county. Peter Pow CT, as the alleged owner of one hundred shares of common stock in the North ern Pacific company. seeking to obtain an injunction restraining the Northern Pacific companys directors from enter ing into a combination with similar off, cials of the Great Northern and Chica- go, Burlington and Quincy roads to merge and consolidate the three sys- tems, which were alleged to be parallel and competing. Power also sought to restrain the Northern Pacific company from retiring it's preferred stock. dlllOullllllS lO 9iOVVV,vuOs dl1C6lAlS l1Adl this was being done in the interest of the alleged merger.
 The case was removed to the United States circuit court, where the defend ants conclusively showed that Power never owned ony stock in the Northern Pacific, and that he had no interest in any of the matters alleged in the com plaint.
 Camille Weidenfeld, with the permis- sion of the court filed his intervening petition seeking to have the retirement of the stock declared unlawful and fraudulent. and to have the Northern Pacific company declared guilty of hav- ing unlawfully consolidated it's lines with those of the Great Northern com pany.
 The decision is against the conten- tions of the appellant at every point, the court holding that the Northern Pacific company acted entirely within it's powers in converting the preferred stock into common.

MURDER TRIED IN THEATER.
Great Excitement Caused in New
 York Playhouse

Great Excitement taused in New
 York Playhouse,
 New York. March 14.-Great excite ment was caused at the American the ater tonight by what appeared to have been a deliberate attempt to shoot one of the performers by man who sat in stage box. For few moments after the shooting the audience was on the verge of a panic, but the prompt action of the house manager, who rushed out on the stage and assured the audience that no harm had been done, prevented it.
 During the third act of the play the manager while passing one of the boxes heard man within exclaim: There he is; I'm going to get revenge.' Im- mediately afterwards a shot was fired and two men ran out of the boxes. Ed ward Gain, the treasurer of the house, attempted to stop them, but was knock ed down and one of the men fired at him, but missed. The two occupants of the box then ran from the theater and disappeared. The performers on the stage fled at the first shot, one of the women fainting, and the audience rose in semi-panic. but was quilted by the manager. The police searched in vain for the man who fired the shots.

seventy-sixth Aannai of the State Held
 in Danbury.
 Danbury, March 14.-Knights Tenn plar from all over the state assembled here to-day to be present at the seven ty-sixth annual conclave of the Con necticut commandery, which opens for mally tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The banquet of the Grand commandery and it's guests held tonight in the arm ory was attended by five hundred men and women, and was one of the most successful ever held Dy the Connecti- cut Knights Templar. Itwas the first time in the history of the Grand com mandery that ladies were allowed to be present at the annual banquet.
 Dr. w. c. Veil, of this city, was the toastnaster, and during the evening he called upon the following for speech es. Rev. A. c. Hubbard, of Danbury the grand commander; Judge Samuel J. Bryant, of New Haven, Rev. Henry w. Rugg, D. D., of Providence, V. E. C.. G. of the Grand encampment of the United States, and Costello Lippitt of Norwich.

LITIGATION NOT ENDED.
Appeal in Merger Case stu on ID .cNes Tn
 Minnesota.

St. Paul. Minn.. March H.-The gov ernment's victory in the Northern Se- curities company case does not end the litigation. There still remains on the docket an appeal of the state of Min nesota from the decision of Judge Loch- ren. Attorney General Douglass is on the way home from Washington and could not be interviewed to-day, but attorneys familiar with the litigation say that the case will have to be decided without reference to the federal deci- sion. It may be thrown out for lack of jurisdiction. So far as the result to the merger is concerned, the decision given to-day covers the same ground. There are different principles of law in volved, however, and attorneys for the state hope they can secure a decision of their case on it's merits. Such de- cision will determine whether the fed eral courts can be appealed to in order to prevent outside corporations from violating the laws of a state.

HALT MILLION IN FIELD.
Report That Russia VIII Mobilize an
 Army of This strength.

Army of This Strength.
 Yin Row, March 14-The local Rus sian authorities are apparently incens- ed and manifestly much annoyed at the solicitous inquiries of the commanders of foreign gunboats regarding the pro- jected blocking of the Liao river before the arrival of the Japanese, which lat ter event is regarded as a foregone con clusion. Although the blocking of the Liao and also the defense of the settle ment and native town are regarded as unattainable. it is certain that dispo- sition of guns has been made and de- fense plan has already been arranged. The arrival of General Kondratovitch few days ago, however, threatened to cause the abandonment of the original intention.
 The best Russian information obtain able at Port Arthur and New Chwang admits the governments intention to fall back indefinitely until it can con- plete the mobilization of 300,000 troops for the purpose of assaulting and oppos- ing the Japanese, and probably 100000 more to oppose the Chinese.
 The same opinion asserts that Vice. Admiral Makaroff will fight hard. He is determined to weaken the enemy at any cost and make the operation of tre Baltic Sea fleet in the Far East feasible, though it may be necessary to fight without the Pallada, Czarevitch and Retvizan, which, it is admitted, cannot be fully repaired within six months. On account of the uncertainty of suc- cessfully constructing a mud dock in which to repair the Czarevitch and Retvizan naval experts allow a year for the. work.

with this authoritative declaration"
 Paris, March 15.-The St. Petersburg correspondent Of the Echo de Paris says that the czar's refusal, following General Kuropatkin's advice, to permit Prince Louis Napoleon to go to the Far East Is much commented upon.
 The correspondent says that six new torpedo boats have been sent out of the Newski yards. and that ten others modelled after the French torpedo boat Cyclone are being contemplated and probably will be sent by railway to Port Arthur.
 In the course of his conversations on the train while travelling from Moscow, according to this correspondent, Gen. eral Kuropatkln repeated his desire that peace should be signed only in To- kio. The general said that France, Germany and Austria have agreed with Russia to prevent Great Britain inter vening with another Berlin treaty, add ing: We will never permit Great Brit ain to interfere for the purpose of de- priving us of the fruits of our dearly bought victory. Corea shall be Rus sian"
