| Mrs. III. MiQhf

Mrs. Pinkhan claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof Of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that late
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures
but nothing seemed to help me. I was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
few days began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement,o or hassuch record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

| st. Peter, MIMI, Feb. 2I.-ValuabAe city prop

Traverse township. In settling up the estate OF
George s. Wright of Chicago, who died in the
Klondike in 1891, 1t has been found that the
title of parcel of land owned by Wright. is
cl6uded, and n. E. Osen Chicago attorney, is
In st. Peter to make settlement with Mr.. Wolf
and secure an outright conveyance.
| Wright, the testator, died in tragic manner.
Attic a man of wealth he possessed u rowing dis
position and when the Alaskan gold excitement
was at its height his love Of adventure took him
to the Klondike.. There he experienced the great
est privation and hardship, eventually dying OF
starvation. When his death occurred he was 200
miles from q habitation and his body was not
recovered until he had been dead month. On
pieces of wrapping paper and cardboard he wrote
the story of his sufferings and also directions as
to the division Of his estate These were not Sc
cured by the heirs until several years later and

BOYS ORGANIZE
A BANDIT GANG
PLAINVIEW STARTLED BY LATE
DEVELOPMENTS. szN i
Scions of Respectable Families Have
Been Robbing Stores and Putting
Away Money and Goods--Dugout in
the Woods Was Rendezvous
Money Used TO- Prevent Exposure.
Special to The Journal.


Plainview, Mimi, Feb. ga sensation was
created last evening when it was found that the
town is harboring an organized gang Of bandits
composed of boys from u to Is, several OF
whom are connected with the most respectable
families here. The organization and its work
are along professional lines, and the generalship
shown is truly remarkable for boys of that age.
They have been at work about two years, and
how much money and plumber have passed thru
their hands is not known, but, over $500 IL
money as we'll as jewelry and other goods were
found in their possession. :; :
OCCASIONALLY outside chum would discover
their secrets, and If he was 'tenderfoot' he
would not be taken into their confidence, but q
little ''hush money would be given him. 1t took
so much money to keep one little fellow In line
that his parents became suspicious Of him, and IL
the sweatbox he told enough to give clue from
which the rest was learned.
From one firm alone upwards of $50 has been
taken in small sums, while money and articles
from the stores were taken from time to time
and it was all done slyly that no one was
ever caught in the act.
The rendezvous in a dugout In the woods
on the outskirts Of town. Here the boys have
concealed and enjoyed their harvest unmolested
An abundance of food found there ind1cat
ing that they have been ejoying life in the true

TOOK A STRAW VOTE

Interesting Experiment in a Restaurant
An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on a recent western trip, was dining one
evening in a Pittsburg restaurant
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no
ticed the advertisement of a we'll
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart g
Dyspepsia Tablets. AS he himself was
user aa to 90 b1 the ath
er travelling men in the dining room
were also friends Of the popular remedy
He says: I counted twenty-five
men at the tables and in the hotel Of
fee I took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to, learn that
nine Of the twenty-three made a prac-
tice Of taking one or two Of Stuart g
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road, but since using Stuart s Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from Indigestion, but he continued their
count Of irregularity in meals and be,
| cause like all travelling men, he was oft
en- obliged to eat what he could get and
not always what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate a meal with.
out taking Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear Of a
sleepless night or any other trouble. d,
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, causing
pressure on heart and lungs, shortness
he no longer experienced since using
the tablets regularly. ..,..,
| Another claimed that Stuart s Dys
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stom
ach and acidity. He had formerly
used common soda to relieve the troli
BILE, but the tablets were much better
and safer to use.
| After smoking, drinking or other ex
cesses which weaken the digestive or
gans, nothing restores the stomach tc
a healthy, wholesome condition SO eff
feetually. as Stuart IS Tablets
| Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives,. pepsin, diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, az
well as nux, hydrastin and yellow pa
rilla, and can be safely relied on as
radical cure for every form Of poor Iii
