CHAINED TO A CORPSE.
DolefuI Punishment of the Ancients
Duplicated in Our Modern Life.

The Romans used to punish muir
derer by claiming to his body the
corpse of his victim. Wherever he
went he dragged behind him the de-
bris of his crime, the sleazy cadaver,
revolving thing that was once man.
Every day you see people dragging
around with them the corpse of their
sins. They can't get away from them
And many of them have become so in
innate with these corpses that they
become corpses themselves. The mis-
cry of these poor unfortunates has be-
come constitutional with them. 1t fits
them like an old shoe. They have be-
come accustomed to 1t.
And there are thousands of humans
who are walking the earth today with
corpses attached to them-dyspeptic
stomachs they can't get rid of. They
have to get along the best they can
with the stomachs they have. And
the owners of said dyspeptic stomachs
are to be found in every walk of life
suffering from some form of indiges-
ton, first cousin to dyspepsia.
They wear that forlorn appearance,
their energy at zero, nothing interests
them, and they interest no one, their
ed and their shoulders sag. Are you
one of the myriads who dandle and
crafty their palates, at the sacrifice of
who allow their senses to run riot
eating too much, drinking too much.
eating at the wrong time, eating the
half-cooked, the queer and the I'M
possible?
o,,I
imagine that it is your food that fills
you? Do you have nausea when you
look upon this or that, rebel at one
thing and be hungry for it, too at the
same time? And have you got
whole lot of other things the matter
with your stomach that you know
about but nobody else does, and can't
explain? If so, you have dyspepsia,
real dyspepsia. And the chances are
you have had ii a long time.
Your stomach is overworked, abused,
tagged out. The gastric and digestive
juices are weak, the muscles of the
stomach are jaded, and the whole bus
mess needs new life. 1t needs some
thing which will take hold of the food
as 1t Games in ana do the digesting and
let your stomach take a rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do that
very thing. They contain a most pow
erful ingredient which helps the stom-
ach in the process of digestion, cures
dyspepsia, sour stomach, Indigestion,
heartburn, eructations. acidity or fer
mentation. They invigorate the stom--
ach, increase the flow of gastric juice.
and do two-th thirds of what the stomach
would have to do without them That
gives the stomach some rest, and
chance to get right again.
You will feel the change first in your
mind and heart and then over your
whole body. You'll feel rosy and sweet.
That's the object. You can get these
effective little tablets almost anywhere
on earth for soc g. package.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
name.

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
70 the puhlic

How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.
The story of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people is rather in
teresting.
AS the story goes the possessor of the
hand was with some friends in pho
tographer's one day, and while talking
held UP a piece Of candy. The pose of
the hand with it's perfect contour and
faultless shape attracted the attention
of the artist, who proposed to photo
graph it. The result was beautiful
picture kept in the family until one
day, after reading a letter from some
one inquiring as to who wrote the Pos
tun and Grape-Nuts advertisements
Mr.. Post said to his wife, 1--WE receive
so many inquiries of this kind that it
is evident some people are curious to
know, suppose we ler the advertising
department have that picture of your
hand to print and name it "a Helping
Hand" (Mrs Post has assisted him
in preparation of some Of the most
famous advertisements
There was a natural shrinking from
the publicity, but with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture it's use was granted.
The case was presented In the light
of extending a welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grapje-Nuts, so
the picture appeared on the back COW
ers of many Of the January and Feb
ruary magazines and became known to
millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfest hand
in the world.
The advertising dept of the Postum
Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity Of
the public by refraining from giving
the name of the owner when the pic
ture appeared, but stated that the
name would be given later in one of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming adver-
tisements to learn the name of the
owner.
This combination of art and COM
merce and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration of
the interest the public takes in the per-
sonal and family life of large manu-
facturers whose names become house
hold words through extensive and
continuous announcements in newspa-
pers and periodicals.

SETTLING rHoMPsoN's ESTATE.
Wife of the Late Advertising Agent
Nee Calhoun, HopeIessIy Insane.


Nee Calhoun, HopeIessIy Insane.
The Chicago Commercial Union tells
of the efforts being made to settle the
estate of the late c. D. Thompson, a
wel-known advertising agent of Oma-
ha, who died a few months ago. Mr.
Thompson was a SON in-law of Mr.
and Mrs. w. H. Calhoun, of this city,
and his wife, whose health failed her
some time before her husbands death.
is now feared to be hopelessly insane.
The Union says:
The Administrator of the estate of
c. ID Thompson, Omaha. Neb., Is Of
fering to settle claims against same
on the basis of 40 cents on the dil-
lar. The county judge believes thai
the estate ought, with all allowances
and exper SEES figured out, to pay cred
itors at least 80 per cent. The Offer
of the administrator is made not with
view to get best results for the cred
itors, but to save as much as he can
tn the fund for the support of the
widow, who is insane and who will
p.'obably never recover her mind. If
the 40 per cent offered is accepted hy
c'tGitors, payment will be made at
once. but those who do not accept
the settlement will receive larger
amount but will have to await the
final settlement of the estate"

ICE GOING OUT
Rise in the River is Sending the Ice
Down Stream and Causing Gorses at
the Marietta and Nicholson Ford
Bridaes-Linn Creek Booming.

An unusually early rise of the Iowa
river and its tributary streams has
caused the ice to break up, and gorges
have formed during the past twenty
four hours at the Marietta and Nichol-
son ford bridges. Linn Creek is
doomed bank full, and small gorge
formed under the Great West
ern bridge west of Third avenue and
south of the Central car shops. This
gorge was dislodged after the water
threatened to do damage to the bridge.
The ice at the Marietta bridge has
piled up against the ice break, built
several years ago by the county, and
men were sent there Saturday to blow
it out. A similar gorge has formed at
the Nicholson ford bridge, northeast OF
the city, but the damage to the bridge
is not anticipated there.
The river is not unusually high, but
the breaking UP of the ice has come
at an exceptionally early date.

ings are instituted owing to the fact
that the l.. H. Hibben and c. j. Hoyt
estates are interested. These estates
have to be closed soon, and in order
TO effect the settlements it is necessary
that the estates realize on their shares
of the property held by the slate COM
panies. Proceedings thru the bank
ruptcy courts seem the cheaper ANA
more equitable means of effecting this
settlement, and the action is therefore
begun.
The slate companies are not in any
way involved, as their Indebtedness is Of
no consequence excepting that held by
the members of the companies them
selves.
The principal creditors are Mrs. Hattie

"Tony" Loses Wife and Money.

Tony Albert, young italian in the
employ of the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany at the Victoria Mines, in Preston
county, was in town today with about
as much trouble hanging to him as it
falls to the lot of man to meet with in a
matrimonial experience. A week ago
today Tony was the possessor of a happy
home at Victoria, he had wife, two
year-old son, six months old
baby girl, a watch and two chains,
four finger rings and ninety-four
dollars and thirty cents in cash. Today
he has his home and the two-year-old
son, but the wife, the baby girl, the cash
in hand and the jewelry all have van
