Cannot contro, Terrorists.

At present the central committee is
but one of many branches, composed
of ten; six, and even three members,
and, although it's authority is greater
than that of most others, it can no
longer command or forbid with the
certainty of being obeyed, as hereto
fore. The result is that murders are
daily attempted and carried out by
small groups. These are so numerous
that large forces of vigilant police
could hardly prevent them.
Every Official in Terror.
Every official of the government,
every grand duke and every person Of
high rank. not even excepting the czar
himself, fears that his turn will come
neyt and that some obscure person, to.
tally unknown among the millions Of
Russia's vast population, may be the
means Of his taking of.
So saturated have the people be-
come with revolutionary ideas that
even the most humble among them
may become militant assassins.

APPLAUSE TO SELL.

New York, Dec 11.-An effort to black
mail singers at the Manhattan and Metro
polntan opera houses, it is said, has been
discovered by the managers.
Mime. Eleanora de Cisneros of Mr.. Ham
merstein's forces. is said to have been
one of the intended victims. According to
the printed story Nine. de Cfsneros was
approached by an italian a day or two
before her first appearance, who proposed
to her the employment of "Claque." All
that she need, to do was to furnish the
members of the .Claque" with tickets and
a small amount of money and they would
see that she obtained much applause. She
refused to do this and was threatened
with Kisses from the blackmaflers. On
her opening night she was enthusiastical-
ly received, but distinct Kisses were heard
from the audience. One OF the h1sSers,
her husband declares, was the Italian
who tried to blackmail her. Bassi and
Zenatello of the Manhattan company are
preached by members of the same
"Claque,' who offered them great ap-
plause If they would pay for it, Misses If
they would not.

Appendicitis.
How to Avoid 1t and Escape a Sur
gicaI Operation. Told by
One Who Knows.
A Simple Method That Is Always
EfiicaciouS

A Simple Method That Is Always
EHicacious.
1t has only been few years since 1t
was olscovered that a surgical opera
ton would cure appendicitis; in fact,
1T has been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and named
whenever there is an inf1amed condi-
tlon OF the appendix, caused by impact
ed faces in the small cavity opening
into the intestine, you then have APP
pendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
Inflammation Of the bowels, and were
puzzled to know the cause.
Even now, with all the knowledge we
nave OF the disease, no medical man
can tell you why we should have an
appendix, why we find it, where it is,
or what are its functions, If it has any.
The disease for which the operation
is cure is usually caused by indiges-
ton, and in many cases follows a large
and indigeStible meal.
Physicians have until recently rec
commended an operation, but now as 1t
is known that it is caused by indiges-
ton, or dyspepsia, a cure without an
operation is assured.
Where the patient is treated with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the un-
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear, the stomach and intestines
are placed back in their normal condi
ton, every organ of the body operates
as it should, and the Inflammation is
reduced and the operation is avoided.
Conscientious physicians who are
looking after the best interests of their
patients will always keep a supply of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy in
their Office, where in cases of sudden
attacks of indigestion they can relieve
the patient at once.
There is no record of a case Of ap-
pendicitis where the stomach and bow
els were in healthy condition and pro-
perly digested the food from meal to
meal
No better advice can be given to any
one who has attacks of Indigestion, or
who has been threatened with appendi-
citis, than to tell him to go to the drug
store. pay so cents, and take home a
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gas in Stomach
or bowels, heart disease or stomach
troubles, sour eructions, acidity or fer
mentation are present, act at once. Take
a dose of the Tablets and get relief as
soon as possible.
At all druggists-50 cents.
Send us your name and address to-
day and we will at once send you by
mail a sample package free. Address
