STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has RevoIutionizec
the Treatment Of Stomach Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as a
| wonderful discovery nor yet O., secret
patent medicine, neither is it claimed
to cure anything except dyspepsia, in
digestion and stomach troubles with
which nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges, con-
tanning vegetable and fruit essences,
pure aseptic pepsin government
test), golden seal and diastase. The
tablets are sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Many interesting experiments to test
the digestive power Of Stuart's Tablets
show that one grain Of the active prin-
oiple contained in them is sufficient to
thoroughly digest 5000 grains of raw
meat, eggs and other wholesome food
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics, which simply irritate
and infame the intestines without
having any effect whatever In digest
ing food or curing Indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover it's normal vigor,
as no organ is so much abused and
overworked as the stomach.
This is the secret, If there is any se-
cret, of the remarkable success of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy
practically unknown a few years ago,
and now the most widely known Of any
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon it's merits as a digestive
pure and simple, because there can be
no stomach trouble If the food is
promptly digested.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting it
completely, SO that it can be assimi-
lated into blood. nerve and tissue.
They cure dyspepsia, water brash.
sour stomach, gas and bloating after
meals, because they furnish the diges-
tive power which weak stonlachs lack
and unless that lack is supplied it is
useless to attempt to, cure by the use
of "tonics," pills and cathartics
which have absolutely no digestive
power.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regu-
lar use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit
better than any other argugment.

LIVES IN THE PAST
s. swendson, of Clinton County, Who

in the state Of Iowa. if not in the en-

1904. and thus viii be 1O1 years of age
If he lives until that date this year.
In the past couple of decades of his
long life. Mr.. Svendson lost count of
his years. and was uncertain Of the
year of his birth. He believed that he
had passed his hundredth anniversary
however, and to satisfy his fatherin-
law on this point, Mr.. Mason went to
the old home of the venerable Olive
township man about year ago, in
Norway, and looked UP the church rec
ord of his birth. After some difficulty
he found the ancient records, and as
certained the date of the birth of MI.
Svendson. Thus the record is abso-
lutely correct, and Clinton county has
among its residents man who has
attained the unusual age OF 1O1 years
two score or more years more than is
allotted to the average man.
Mr.. Svendson remembers little Of
current events, seeming to live in the
past He has vivid recollection of
the scenes of his early manhood, in
the land Of the midnight sun, where
he passed the prime of life, and lived
until old age was creeping over him.
Twenty-Five years ago he left Norway
and came to this country, settling in
this county Immediately upon his ar
rival here. Although his health is
good considering his extreme age, and
he does not suffer from any cause but
weakness, he is physically helpless,
and at times does not appear to recog-
nize his daughter and son-in-law, or
the friends who visit him.

noon recess, admitted to the supreme
court of the District of Columbia. The
court was then engaged in the trial of
John H. Suwatt for participation in the
murder of Lincoln. After the assass-
nation he had escaped to Italy and
was serving in the Pope's guards. He
had shortly before been located aud

Oskaloosa, Oct. 8.-The plans Of the
National Holiness Association to es-
tablish a university and old peoples
home, are beginning to materialize
fast. Sometime ago this city was
chosen as the site for their university
and tract of land was purchased at
the southeast part Of town. Although
progress is being made slower than
was expected at first, work upon the
grounds will begin soon. Mr. w. r.
Adams, of Omaha landscape artist
and park specialist, was summoned
here and for the past few days has
been in consultation with the local
parties who are pushing the university
in regard to laying out the grounds.
Mr.. Adams, after a day in the Nelson
woods, and the almost ideal site which
has been chosen for the school, has
accepted the commission and will i'm
mediately begin the work of beautify-
ing the grounds The grounds are 120
acres in extent and is rolling and COW
cred with natural scenery, which will
be mostly spared. The three larger
university buildings will be built on
small i-circular plateau, around
which are beautiful pieces Of natural
woodland. This is to be the campus,
and will be the site Of the tabernacle,
and the tented city, which will come
with the big conventions and meet
ings of the association. South of the
campus the land will be offered for
not in the usual city lot
shape, but in such as are more suitable
for beautiful, even If modest suburban
homes
The grounds will be leveled off and
the roads laid out at once, and the
foundation of the main building will
be laid as soon as possible. 1t may be
delayed till spring, but it is thought it
will be done before winter begins.

AN IOWA FRUIT FARM.
Great Success Of a Hardin Count,
Man With Apples.

Eldora, Oct. 6.-David Pidgeon, OF
New Providence, Hardin county, has
this this fall proved that all kinds of
the hardest species of winter apples
may be successfully raised in this
state in paying quantities. A number
of years ago this Quaker fruit man
determined that there was too much
money lost to continue to feed cattle at
the high prices of corn and the way IN
which the fat cattle market worked
almost every spring. Acting upon this
idea he planted an orchard in every
available spot on his farm, and today
has one of the largest crops of apples
ever raised in Iowa.
Mr.. Pidgeon believes in the culture
of small fruit as well as apples, and
the Pidgeon home fruit farm in Provi-
dence township is proving gold mine
to it's owner. Grapes this season are
also big crop on the Pidgeon farm,
and his apples alone on the fifteen
acre orchard will net Mr.. Pidgeon over
$4,000

Dubuque, Oct. 6.-It is understood
that the grand jury. which is in ses-

1t is said that gambling will be given
a hard rap and slot machine operators
may be indicted. The judges instruc-
tons in this regard were very vague,
nevertheless they were specific enough
to guard the grand jury in its inves-
tigation. The sale of cigarettes, which
is prohibited in Iowa, will also be in
vestigated. Gamblers and slot ma
chine. operators are on uneasy seats.
In many places the machines have
been removed until the result of the
jury's deliberations is known. 1t is
expected that the jury will return eight
or ten indictments on other criminal
cases.
