Hurry Call Sent In--Shemff NJ. r.
Pomeroy yesterday received dispatch
from j. w. Grove Of the A. & G. service
at Blind Slough, calling him up there
in q hurry to take charge of French
man who was to all appearances crazy.
The man was roaming about the country
in distracted sort of way, with his
head badly cut up, either from wea.
pom in the hands of some one, or by
contact with moving train or other vio-
lent means. The sheriff departed with
out loss of time taking Deputy Mclean
with him, on a launch. They found the
sufferer man by the name of Joseph
Defure, with three bad cuts on his head
and too luny to tell how he came by
them. He was brought to this city and
properly cared for by DR.. Fulton, and
will be examined today.

Affairs of the StensIand Bank Are
Being Rapidly Wound Up.

Chicago. Nov 16-Referee in Bank
ruptcy Frank L. Wean has ordered w
c. Niblack, receiver of Paul o. Stems
lands personal estate, to turn over his
holdings to John c. Fetzer, receiver Of
the Milwaukee Avenue State bank and
to make final report within five days.
The action was taken Immediately after
the creditors of the estate had elected
Mr.. Fetzer trustee by a practically
unanimous vote. Following his election
to the trusteeship, Mr.. Fetzer. filed d
bond for $4,000, signed by the Illinois
Surety company, and announced that
he expects to announce soon a final div
idend of at least 10 per cent to the de-
pOsitors of the bank and wind up the
receivership by the first of next year.
Receiver FHetzer made a settlement to
Judge McEwen. concerning the financial
condition of the bank before it failed.
Mr. Fetzer has just completed his ex-
animation of the books. It is declared
the records show irregularities dating
back farther than thirteen years. State
bank examiners, visited the bank at reg
conditions. Mr.. Fetzer tells the court
that to get a correct audit for thirteen
years would probably take a year and
cost not less than $4,000.
AT the time Of the crash the books
showed. according to the report. thai
the bank had assets of $551.48S over all
liabilities, but the irregularities place
big advantage on the liability column.
Judge Meow en- declared notes for So,

Boyesen, and a note for $1,000, bearing
the name of F. A. Ec<lund, TO be for

TrICked dyspepsia
The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where The
Trouble lay.


For the past seven years I have
been a victim of dyspepsia and chronic
constipation and have consulted the
most noted specialists to be found on
diseases of this character. None. how
ever, seemed to locate the difficulty or
give relief. In addition to this medi-
cal treatment. Il have resOrted to the
use OF many remedies and have given
them faithful trial, but all to no pur-
pose.
Upon the recommendation of close
friend, I purchased a soc package of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and in less
than five days noticed that I was re-
ceiving more benefit than from any
remedy I had used before. I contin-
ued to use the tablets after each meal
for one month and by that time my
stomach was in healthy condition,
capable of digestfng anything which
my increasing appetite demanded.

Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE
Ladies' Home Journal.
DR.. PIERCE'S TRADUCERS COME
TO GRIEF.

It is an old maxim that lie will

dreds of thousands of good people read
the unwarranted and malicious attack
upon DR.. R. V. Pierce and his e Favor
lite Prescription" published in the May
1901 number of the Ladies Home
Journal, with its great black display
headings, who never saw the humble,
groveling retraction, with it's inconspic-
nous heading, published tsc0 months
later. It was boldly charged in the
slanderous and libelous article that

tanned alcohol and other harmful in
gradients. DR.. Pierce promptly brought
suit against the Curtis Publishing Com
ipany, publishers of the Ladies' Home
Journal. The suit was for 5000, 900, 90
damages.
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, mahciously published the arti-
Gle containing such false and defama-
tory matter with the intent of injur-
ing his business furthermore, that no
alcohol, or other injurious, or habit
forming, drugs are, or ever were,
contained in his - FaVOrite PreScrip-
ton -; that said medicine is made from
native medicinal roots and contains no
harmful ingredients whatever, and that
T.
tUh0lIy and absolutely false.
In the retraction printed by said
Journal they were forced to acknowl-
edge that they had obtained analyses
of - Favorite Prescription, from
eminent chemists, all of whom certi-
fled that it did not contain alcohol or
any Of the alleged harmful drugs
These facts also came out in the trial of
the action In the Supreme Court. But
the business of DR.. Pierce was greatly
injured from the effect Of the publication
of the original libel with its great dis
play headings, while hundreds of thou
sands who read the original wickedly
defamatory article never saw the hum
bic grovehng retraction, set in small
type and made as incOnspicuous as pos
sible. The matter was, however brought
before jury in the Supreme Court of
New York State which promptly rem
dered a verdict in the Doctors favor.
Thus his traducers came to grief Their
base ISLANDERS were refuted and they
were obliged to veat humble pie"
During the trial of the libel suit DR..
Lee H Smith, Vice-President of the
World DispensaryN1edicalA Association,
stated under oath that the ingredients
of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
were wholly extracted from the follow
ing native roots; Golden Seal, Blue
Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black Cohosh
and Unicorn by means Of pure glycerine
of proper strength. He was asked how
he knew, as 4 physician and experienced
medical man, that the vFavorite Pre-
scription was a care for the diseases
peculiar to women, such as female
weakness, leucOrrhea, prolapsus, retro
