Mrs. Richards Letter.

Waterloo, Ia, May 20.-My atten-
ton has been called to a criticism
passed by Mrs, Mitchell of Des Moi1es
on certain of the delegates in attend
ance at the recent biennial of the |.
F. w. c.. at. OskaloOsa, which appeared
in The Register and Leader of last
Saturday.
Permit me to say tnat in my opinion
Mrs. Mitchell takes too seriously the
disposition of women to wear pretty
gowns whenever opportunity is afford,
eds hence she arrives at the unwar-
rantcd conclusion that the wearing OF
handsome gowha distracts the attca-
ton OF the womietI from %cighticr mat
tiers which are supposed to be under
consideration at gatherings such as
the recent biennial. via
at seems to me, there is no reason
why woman should not discuss just
as intelligently and even enthusiastic
ally the child labor question or house
hold economies orthG federation spirit
while clad in a, shimmcriIg siiken
gown as in a gingham dress.
There is perhaps ground for criti-
cism when a reception gown is donned
in the morning. However, the wearer
may have been invited to a luncheon
and, in order to do honor to her host
ess, was compelled to wear this dress
to the morning session, which was the
case in several instances, as | was in
e.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: A pity it's,
that town should lose such women.
Mrs Sadie Chrissinger of Oskaloo5a
committed suicide, because her nephew
had confessed to forgery AID had been
sent to tne reform school. She ought
to nave lived down the shame OF it..
And then, the school of Eldora is a
fine institution. A large majority of
the boys who are sent there, do well
So she might have had the satisfaction
of seeing that boy grow up good, use
full citizen, one who would be of value
to the state. While the deed itself
may be regretted, it is impossible not
to respect and admire the fine feeling
that prompted il. Whether or not a
lad of fifteen who does wrong is to be
branded a tramp and a forger, that is
another question. Perhaps the spirit
of Judge Lindsey is needed in many OF
our towns.

A Voice From
 The Stomach
A BIOodIess Fight Between n Tablet
 and a Habit-The Tablet Wins.


 At the age of 22, Clarence had good digestion. He had gastric juice that could dissolve doughnuts and turn ap- pleskins into good blood corpuscIes.
 At the age of "A he began to be profuse about the waist and lean back wards. He also began to cultivate several chins. In his new-found pride he began to think 1t his duty to gorge himself on everything, the good and the bad. for appetite feeds on appetite and every good thing is abused.
 His pictures showed that he took on weight after he put his collar on.
 At the age of 26 Clarence married and went to boarding. On top of all this, he attended oyster suppers and wine dinners, which reduced the size of his collar from 16 1-2 to Is. With still abiding faith in the strength of his stomach he gulped his meals, and chewed them afterwards.
 At the age of 2S Clarence began to hear an inward voice--a warning from the stomach. After each meal, he would feel bloated-and belching be- came a habit.
 He began to be a light eater-and heavy thinker. He tried to think out a cure, for now he would sit down at his meals absolutely disgusted at the thought or sight of anything to eat.
 He woulS sit down at his meals without the trace of an appetite, just because 1t was time to eat.
 He would often feel a gnawing, un- stomach, even after he was through eating, whether his meals was well cooked or not.
 And he suffered a good many other things with his stomach that he could not explain, but that made him grouchy, miserable. out-of-sorts and generally sour on everybody and every thing.
 Finally he read an account. some thing like this. about the truly won derful results obtained from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet in all cases of stom- ach trouble, dyspepsia. and so on. He bought soc box at the drug store. and took the whole box. When he started, he had little faith-and less appetite. When he finished he had absolute faith-and more appetite, and more good cheer. Things began to taste different and better to him.
 Now he has no more dyspepsia, no more Indigestion, no more loss Of ap- petite, brash, irritation, burning sensa- tion, heartburn, nausea, eructations' bad memory, or loss of vim and vigor.
 Remember one ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest for you 5000 grains of food. just as 1t did for Clarence.
 This relieves your stomach Of &he work of digesting until your stomach can get strong and healthy again. Your stomach has been overworked and abused. It's Tagged out It needs rest.
 Let Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do the work of your stomach. You will pc surprised how fine you'll feel attsr eating, and how lusciously gooa every thing will taste to you.
 Heed the call of the stomach now! There's a world of good cheer in one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia TabIets-at any drug store, soc.

Thieves In PensaeoIa.

Thieves and holp-up men were work ing overtime in the city last night and this morning, although they got away with only horse and buggy.
 Early in the evening a white man. attempted to grasp two ladies in his embrace in the western section of the city, and got away before officers could arrive. A short while afterwards, a hack containing a number of West Hil residents returning from the bay shore, was stopped by white man on North Hill, but the party seeing the number in the hack. turned and fled. Later, a horse and buggy were stolen from in front of the court house, while reports of two attempted robberies of stores were received and investigated.

City Hall Accepted l.

Pensacola's new city hall has been accepted from the contractor, and the last of the payments are to be made for the building. which cost in tlie neighborhood of $100.000.
 With tho acceptance of the building came the question of demurrage, as the contract called for it's completion on July 30. The demurrage was at the rate oe about s15 per day. and as a result the contractor is indebted to the city in the sum of about $1,400.
 This matter was discussed at length by the City Council at its meeting last night. but no action was taken. the matter being postponed until the next meeting.
 Many of the Councilmen have taken the position that inasmuch as the city is no loser by the Sdelay in the com pletion of the building, that the de- murrage should be waived. The po- sition is also taken that the contractor, being a native of the city, has ex- pended his best efforts in constructing an up-to-date building, and really a better hall than was called for. and also that he has made many changes ordered by the Bond Trustees without extra cost to the city. and for which he could have collected a neat amount.
 The new building will not be occcu- pied before January as the furniture has not yet arrived, and the grounds are to be placed in condition.

WOMAN BURIED BY BROTHER
 OF MAN SHE MURDERED
Mystery of Miss Grace Smith Unsolved up
 to Time of Her Intermert.

to Time of Her Intermert.
 New York, Nov. 2s.-fSpecial. )-The body of Mrs Grace Smith was laid to rest yesterday fin the little burial ground at New Rochelle. No claim was made for her body and it was buried by Samuel K Smith of Baltimore. brother of the man whom Mrs. Smith murdered before she killed herself.
 It was at first decided to take the body to Baltimore to bury it beside that of her husband but the plan was changed and the funeral was held at New Rochelle with as little ceremony as possible. The mustery which surrounds this womans life and her pretensions has not been solved. The few facts that have come out add to the belief that her claim that she was the real daughter and heiress of former Lieut.. Gov ernor W H. Bulkley of Hartford. Conn. was not altogether due to an insane belief, but that she had at many times used this story in attempts to defraud tradesmen. That the woman was more or less insane there sems to be no question. But who she was and where she came from is a secret that she has probably taken to the grave with her.
