RELATIONSHIP PUZZLlNG
lntermarriages of Stepchildren in
New York Town Start Possible
ties of Dizzy Figuring

Special to The Herald.
GOUVERNEUR, N. Y, Feb. 3.-If
the people of this place ever begin to
figure out the relationships that are
likely to grow out of the several mar
riages between members of the Brown
and the Price families here the harvest
OF lunatics will be appalling. When in
1900 Francis l.. Brown, widower, and
Electa M. Price, widow, each with three
children, were married, there was some
speculation as to how the two sets of
youngsters would assimilate into one
family. Not a few pessimists wagged
their heads and sagely prophesied that
there would be a grand "bust-up'
sooner or later.
Brown, with his wife and the six
children, took up his home on the
Price farm, and there, despite the
croakers, all lived in harmony year
after year. And as for assimilation,
young Earl Brown and his stepsister,
Alice Price, fell in love and were mar
ried two years ago. The second step
in amalgamation, with the promise of
consequent genealogical complications
was made yesterday when Eugene
Price, brother of Alice Price Brown,
married Lena Brown. sister of Eugene
Prices brother-in-law, having by the
marriage of her brother to Alice Price,
Hcl SISpolSISl, DSCOlllG lIlG Sis lcl -lll-ldW
of her stepsister, and by her own mar
riage the sister-in-law of her full
brother, to say nothing of being double
sister-in-law to the aforesaid Alice
Price-Brown. Lena's father and her
stepmother are, through her marriage,
her father-in-law and her mother-in-
law, and the same rule applies to all
four of the children who have married.
The foregoing is a base for calcula-
ton, il any one dares to discount the
future and place the relationships of
the children that may come to Alice
Price Brown and Lent Brown Price and
the children OF these children. There is
still left unmarried one child OF each
set 81 boy and girl. They are too
young to marry, but they have shown
such a strong attachment for each
other that the outcome of their fond
ness will no doubt result in u wedding.

STOMACH ON THE BRAIN
What III Man Gain the Whole World
And Lose His Appetite:

The man with wel-behaved stom-
ach never thinks about it. He eats
what he likes and likes what he eats.
Ee knows he'll enjoy it, because he
knows he has u stomach that will
easily digest it. All things look good
to him: he will sit close to the table,
and with a merry twinkle in his eye
and a world-peace expression he will
start" on the delicious meal before
him.
But the man with the bad, brashy,
gurgly stomach is the man who is al
ways thinking about it. He can seldom
eat what he most likes, and seldom
likes what he eats. His stomach Wor-
ries him before meals, after meals and
between meals 1t Is on his BRAIN 1t
robs him of his cheer and interferes
with his daily work. Around him is
dark spirit which presses itself forward
in his thought, crying: II am agony l
am disgust, l am nausea. 1 am sick
ness, languor, worry. l am conceived
in quick lunches and pappy food, and
nourished by gulpy meals. 1 rob brains
of their force and bodies of their life.
/ steal away nerve and vim. bring
heart disease and apoplexy. l make the
world pit of weariness and darkness.
am woe, l am death. / am dyspep-
sia. But yet. bring also hope, light
and future health, because by my
gloomly presence l give you warning
and a chance to escape me-"
This Is a bad dream, but 1t is the
daily dream Of the dyspeptic. If it We're
not for the white we couldn't tell the
black. II 1t were not for dyspepsia, we
couldn't know the joy, the happiness Of
a well-ordered digestion. All the world
looks bright to man of good health,
and good health Is impossible without
a good, hardy stomach. And any sick
or weak stomach can be made a good,
strong one by just taking something
which will digest your food for you,
instead of letting your tired stomach
do IL. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
the most effective little tablets in the
world for this very thing. If you feel
bloated after eating, or you have nau-
sea, aversion to food. brash, irritation,
sour stomach. heartburn or dyspepsia,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will stop 1t,
because one grain of an ingredient OF
these tablets will digest 5000 grains Of
food.
Your stomach Is overworked. Let II
take a rest. You're not yourself when
YOU have a bad stomach. These tab |
let's will do the work that the stomach
has to do and make you feel bright, |
power TO concentrate your attention on
Your work. You'll feel good You
should always have a box OF Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets OH your dining Ia
BILE. They will make you get all the
good possible out of everything you
eat. and you'll enjoy il.

"ANN" PUZZLE HAS RIVAL
Relationship of an Ohio Family Is a
Problem That Stirs Up the
Whole Town
Speclal ID The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ANDOVER, o.. Feb. 3.-To Andovel
seems to belong the distinction of hav-
ing the most complicatingly related
family in the state. The intricacies
of this relationship would put to shame
the difficulties of figuring out How old
is ANN"
Jennie Hildebrand married Frank
Thomas and they had two children
before Thomas died. His widow then
married Josiah Mills, widower with
one grown stepson, Scott Mills. Scott
Mills married Audra, a sister of Mrs
Mills and the divorced wife of DR..
Howe OF Greenville. DR.. Howe has
one child.
No children to the Josiah Mills union
and when Mills died his widow mar
ried a brother Of Frank Thomas, her
first husband.
The result has caused a Relationship
that is most distracting and Andover-
ties are trying to figure it out.
The present Mr. Thomas is related to
his wifes children, how? What is the
kinship between Jennie'S present hus-
band and Audra? Jennie has a grand
child. and what relation is IL to her
present husband? Jennie and Audra
are sister and Jennie is Audra's step
mother in-law
Some people here say the present
Mr.. Thomas is Mrs Scott Mills step
and-a-half father-in-law.
What is the answer?

INDUCE CAMERAS TO LIE
Hunters Pictured in Maine Woods
With Stuffed Animals in Front
of Bogus Cabins
Special to The Herald


GREENVILLE JUNCTION, Me-,
Feb. 3.-The camera as an aid to cer-
tain class of hunters Is being profitably
used here by two brothers who furnish
them with misleading photographs to
show their friends at home.
AS site for their studio the brothers
chose a spot u short distance from this
village in a place as wild ss can be
found a hundred miles further north
There is a camp built like. those found
in the woods, but with three fronts or
rather, three of the sides are arranged
like fronts of camps, all different. These
are the backgrounds Then there are
stuffed deer, moose, birds and bear
galore, hunting costumes and all kinds
of camp paraphernalia.
The spurious sportsmeu SO to the
studio" where a scene is set for them
i'll short order. They pick out rough
board and quick work with the brush
produces a sign Camp Comfort oi
"Nimrod's Home or any other old
designation. Stuffed deer are brought
out and hung up and, il uecessarv
hunting togs are lent to the sitters
Then "supers" are called in 10 make ur
a hunting party. The phot )graphers
press the button and do the rest.
Many photographs have been pub
lished of a sportsman sitting upon a
standing, rifle in hand, beside fallen
forest monarch" The fallen monarch
which figured in many of these pic
lures is worn almost bald by being
dragged so often from the studio to a
little glen in the rear, and the deer are
often in need Of repairs to Keep the
hay stuffing in place. Not long since
the photographers turned out score
of hunting scenes for a railroad pub
lication. They made three different
camps of their one structure. The
NANCY moose was propped in various
lifelike positions, and the dear worked
singly and in groups, i'm short. the
whole game region of Maine was COW

Any money in it for the photogra-
piers? Well, it's cheaper for spurious
sportsmen to get photographs than

BRINGS MEMORY
OF GREAT CRIME
SILVER CARD FOUND ON THE
SANDY SHORE
Souvenir Bears the Name of n. j.
FIeishman and Was Issued by n.
w. Hellman Before Big
DefaIcaton

From the festive banquet board
where it was a priced souvenir, to be
buried in the sands at Ocean Park
where it was presumably lost by Its
owner who has since absconded and is
now an exile, little silver plate yester-
day fell into the hands of a Herald re-
porter. The plate bore the name OF
"Mr. H. j. Fleishman," and in the left
hand corner the date '1S74."
The little silver card was used as a
souvenir and place card at the silver
wodding of H. w. Hellman and his wife
in 1899, when $50 guests were gathered
around the banquet board, each place
being marked with one of the cards
bearing the name of the guest.
\ The card is 2x3 inches and is much
discolored on the face, but the bach
shows the quality Of the sterling silver
used.
The name of tho maker, Carl Enten.
mann, jeweler, now at 2171s Soutl
Spring street. was on the back Of the
silver sheet. Mr.. Entenmann identified
Il as one of the number he made for
Mr.. Hellman and succeeded in tracing
it to its original giver.
:, Reminder of Past GIories
.Chauncey d. Hulburt, son of r. c.
Hulburt. found the trinket yesterday
while strolling, along the beach at
Ocean Park. Mr.. Hulburt Immediately
recognized the name engraved upon II
as that of the absconded cashier.
Many of the prominent residents OF
Los Angeles will remember the silver
wedding anniversary of Mr.. Hellman
and wife, which was marked with great
brilliancy at their beautiful home,
Tenth and Hill streets, and in many
homes the little silver cards are cher
ished souvenirs.
The great excitement will be remem-
bered of the absconding of Mr.. Fleish-
man with 100000 of the money of the
Farmers and Merchants bank on De-
cember L, 1891. The news of the short
age was first announced by /. w. He'll
man, the president of the bank, who
was in San Francisco at the time
1t was a great surprise when the dis
appearance was made known, for he
had been with the bank for over twenty
years. He had worked himself up from
a small beginning to a trusted cashier.
FIeishman Still Missing
Mr.. Fleishman made the pretext that
he was not feeling well on the Saturday
preceding the Tuesday that the papers
had the news OF his disappearance, He
gave out word that he would be late.
He did not report to duty for some time
and even then no attention was paid
to his absence until the final discovery
of his defalcation.
When it was known that he had
really absconded with the 100000 there
was great excitement. Detectives were
sent after him, but having several days
the advantage he made his escape
Many flying reports were rife that he
was seen in different parts of the
United States, but nothing was accom-
plished in his apprehension.
The plate bearing his name found
yesterday is vivid reminder of the
excitement at the time of his disappear
ance.

pastor, will preach the sermon.

Gently returned from a three years
missionary tour i'll the Hawaiian ISL
ands.
The reorganized church has a fol-
lowing in Los Angeles Of nearly $50
adults; some of the most prominent
and oldest citizens are affiliated with
this people.
The local church was organized in
1882. Since that time 1t has met in
several different places, finally erect
ing the present building. There have
been seven different pastors during this
time, the present pastor having acted in
that capacity for the last five years.
In conversation with one of the rep
resentative members OF the church, he
said:
',rhe public generally may. not be
aware that there are two churches
claiming nearly similar names. This
one of which we speak represents the
reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, with headquarters at
Lamont, Iowa, and the other, the
church with headquarters at Salt Lake,
Utah. These two churches have no af-
filiation whatever with each other, and
are radically opposed to each other on
several of the cardinal points of their
religion
I'VE claim to be distinctly orthodox
and stand for all that is real progress
sion in life. We have no creed. We
hold to no dogmas Every man is and
should be free to think and to formu-
late his thoughts in whatever way may
appear right to him. restraint is sell
dom a moral agent, and is ever detri-
mental to intellectual and spiritual
progress. We are distinctly monog-
amous, and maintain that our church
would today be among the foremost in
numbers and influence, were it not for
the Introduction of polygamy by
Brigham Young and the detection by
a portion of the original church.
"On the social question we take a
decisive stand and maintain that moth
ing short of the enforcement of the
golden rule will rectify the injustice
now obtaining in the industrial world.
0 We, stand for primitive Christianity and
affirm every tenet enunciated by Jesus
and believe that il men will only con-
form their lives to his teachings the
same blessings and privileges prevalent
among the followers of Christ in the
early centuries will be their heritage
now"

MAKING TEST
ON BULLETS

Springfield, Mass, Aug. 6.-Bullets
which are lighter and more pointed
than those now In use are being tested
at the government armory here. The
new bullets have much fiatter .rajec-
tories than the old type, and conse-
quently are more efficient against ad-
vancing enemies. On 1,000-yard
range the lighter bullet passed through
screen at the 500-yard mark at an
elevation ten feet lower than the bull
let now In use. 1t is believed that for
a distance of 700 yards out of / 1000 the
lighter projectile Is capable OF dam
age. while a heavier bullet would pass
completely over the heads of the en-
envy for much greater proportion of
the distance. The heavier bullet Is
admitted to be more accurate and thus
better for sharpshooters. The test to
determine the comparative merits OF
the pointed and blunt forms have not
been completed.

NO CONFLICT
RIGHT OF WAY
Electric Railway Fears
No Trouble at
Nez Perce

1.-THE stories about a serious conflict
between the Electric line and the
the Northern Pacific over rights of
way in the Nezperce prairie country
are highly exaggerated" said Presi-
dent G. w. Thompson this morning
when asked about the bitter legal
battle" that threatened to tie up the
work of construction on the electric
line.
"Plats Of our right of way show that
we cross the Northern Pacific survey
only at two points in the route through
the territory named continued Mr.
Thompson, land 1 apprehend that
about those crossings. We have had
no intimation Of trouble and are going
ahead along the lines Of development
we have already marked out"
The report coming out Of Nez Perce
is to the effect that the grading now
being done on the electric line was
being done on rights Of way owned
by the Northern Pacific and that a
restraining order would be asked from
the courts to prevent the electric line
from doing any more construction
work.
From reports made last week 1t is
known that the Northern Pacific has
been running lines from vollmer
toward Nezperce with the evident in
tention Of putting in a feeder to sup
ply the Nezperce country.

NARROW ESCAPE-James Evans,
a well known riverman, had a narrow
escape from a serious accident this
afternoon as the Clearwater train was
leaving the station. Evans attempted
to board the train after it was in mo-
ton and while he was yet swinging
on the platform his body hit the ex-
press truck that was standing close
to the track. and he was knocked from
the platform and fell within six inches
of the trucks. In his scramble to re-
gain his equilibrium his legs and arms
were often both across the track. and
had the train had any speed the
chances are he would have been run
over but bystanders helped him up
and out Of harms way.
