Killed . Bear and Bob Cat and said
II Was Bully Sport.
GlenwoOd Springs. Col. April 1s.--
President Roosevelt has killed q bear
and a bob cat. He is saLisfied with his
hunt for the biggest game the Rockies
afford To quote his own words: II
got what I was after. It was bully
sport, and hope 1t keeps up"
This is the story brought to Secre-
tary Loeb by Elmer Chapman, a cou-
rier, who was chosen to bear messages
between the President and the tempo
rary seat Of government at the Hotel
Colorado in this city.
The courier got through Newcastle
without talkingand the president made
good to those who complied with his
wishes.
But if the courier was reticent at
Newcastle. he was different when his
journey was at an end. Secretary Loeb
had removed the INJUNCTION Of secrecy.
His eyes hndled with fire that told
his admiration for the presidents
prowess as a hunter more than could
the words at his command. One ex-
preston which the hardy mountaineer
injected into his story was: Say, fell
lows, he's a beaut and no mistake.
The way he scents game would make
you think he was born in the noun
tains and had never left them. Say.
now, being president don't make any
difference with a man that's got the
real stuff in him. Goff said he was the
real thing and didn't need showing,
but l didn't believe it.

tor, Who Seized Figure.
LOgansport, Ind, April 1S.-In broad
daylight, C. D. Billman, a sculptor, re-
moved from its pedestal in City Park
an heroic statue to William Mckinley
which had been erected by citizens as
a memorial to the martyred president.
Billman alleges that the statue had
not been paid for. Taking advantage
of the absence Of all city oficers at n
Municipal League meeting, Billman
backed a wagon against the base Of the
monument and, with block and tackle,
transferred the monument to the back
yard of his home.
The monument was arranged for by
a committee of citizens shortly after
McKinley's assassination. Subscription
papers were circulated to raise funds,
but through some mistake, Billman al
leges, the sculptor was never compen-
stated.
The statue represented a draped fe-
male figure holding a laurel wreath.
The monument had been the subject If
some adverse criticism because 1t was
situated opposite a livery stable and
a saloon. Many persons peacefully
watched Billman cart away the sculp-
ture.

Only a Suggestion.

There are thousands of people who are really
confirmed dyspepties although they may not have
any particular pain or Inconvenience from their
stomachs.
II such people would lay their prejudces aside
and make regular practice Of taking after each
meal one or two of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly dieested,
because these tablets contain the natural pepones
and dtastase which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is enabled
to reach Its natural tone and vigor.
1t viii cost SO cents to find out Just how much
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets win help you. Try
them-that's the best way to dsclds All druggists.

when the frozen silence" had covered
the sidewalks with but coating of sleet
and ice. several persons were injured by
falling. well-dressed, middle-aged
woman was picked up by the crossing
policeman at Tth and G streets north
west. She had evidently fallen and IN
jured herself and cried piteously. She
was taken to the office of DR.. Ernest Sell
hansen, on G street near 7th street where
she began to yell loudly and act IN
frantic manner.
Conveyed to Hospital.
The policeman had her conveyed to the
Emergency Hospital, where. because of her
rawlings. 1t was found necessary to contne
her in a strong room. The surgeons say
she was not seriously injured by the fail
on the icy sidewalk, and are unable TO
account for her frantic conduct unless she
was suffering from an over-indulgence IN
intoxicants.
The cases of accidents from falls treated
at the several HOSPITALS were all of minor
