Appendicitis.
Hsw TO Avoid It and Escape a Sur
sieaI Operation, Told BY One
Who Knows.
"A Simple Method That 10 Always
Ehicacious.

1t has been only a few years since
It was discovered that a surgical oper-
alton would cure appendicitis; in fact
it has been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and named.
Whenever there is an inflamed con-
dition Of the appendix, caused by I'M
pacted faces in the small cavity open
ing into the intestine. you then have
appendicitis.
J 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 have Of the disease, no medical mar
can tell you whe we should have an
appendix, why we find it, where 1t is,
or what its functions, II it has any.
The disease for which the operation
is 4 cure is usually caused by indi-
Restion, and in many cases follows q
large and indigestible meal.
Physicians have until recently
recommended IN operation, but now, as
It Is known that it is caused by indi-
gestion. or dyspepsia, a cure without
an operation is assured.
Where the patient is treated with
0tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. the I'M
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear, the stomach and intestines
ere placed back In their normal con-
dition, every organ of h body oper-
ates as it should, and h infiamma-
ton is reduced and the operation Is
ANo.ced.
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 q relieve
the patients at once.
There is no record Of 4 case Of APP
pendicitis where the stomach and
bowels were in q healthy condition
and properly die;ested 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 appen-
dicftis, thar to tell him to go to the
drug store, pay so cents, and lake
home q package Of ,Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gas in stom-
ach or towels, heart disease or stom-
ach troubles, sour eructions, acidity
or fermentation are present, act at
once. Take q dose Of the Tablets and
get relief as soon as possible.
At all druggists-b0 cents.

lday and we will at once send you by

SUSPECTED FOR SOME TIME
Many Complaints Had Been Made to

Cars and Finally Agents Were Put
on Case, With Result That the Men
Were Caught Stealing.

Waterloo, Dec. 13-Local papers here
publish the story of a sensation IN To-
cal railroad circles, and in fact over
the entire country between Freeport
and Waterloo, because w well known
freight conductors of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad were peremptorily dis
missed from the service of the road on
charges Of a most serious nature. me
men had been under suspicion for
some time, but the matter was not
brought to a head until the hrst Oh
the week, when agents of n ROAD
COMPLETED their chain of evidence by
catching the conductors stealing goods
from some Of the cars while they were
stationed at Freeport. The two men
given their discharge in no uncertain
manner, but whether they are arrest
ed or will be arrested the officials OF
the road absolutely decline to state.
One of the conductors has been In the
service of the road for many years
and both of them are we'll known IN
this city, as they had runs betWeen
F'reeport and Waterloo.
During the past fall and summer
there have been many complains
made to the road about the loss of
.aol, f,o~, tho n hr1t for some
time the agents of the road We're un-
able to get any trace OF the perpe-
traitors of the thefts. Finally, n by
accident, circumstances began to point
to the two conductors IN question ana
several times their actions were such
as to arouse the suspicious of the OIL
fcers Of the road. Several agents
were put on the case and they fol-
lowed the men all over the DIVISION.
They had obtained some lrcumstan-
tial evidence against the men, u
they wanted positive proof. They got
that at Freeport the first of the week,
when agents of the road caught the
two conductors deliberately taking the
goods from the cars.
AS noted before in these
there have been robberies from the
cars at Freeport and the company
agents have been having all manne
of trouble. 1t is not known whether
the two conductors involved are re-
sponsible for the series of thefts OF
not. What is being done in the mat
ter the local officials of the road ab-
solutely refuse to state. Neither VIII
they make known the names of the
men who have been discharged from
the service Of the company, because OF
the thefts of which they have been
guilty.
Whether the company has any evil
dence showing where the two con-
ductors disposed of the goods or the
manner in which it was done, the
officials refuse to state.
Neither will they state the nature OF
the goods taken nor the manner in
which the two thieves were caught.
1t is known that two men were ar
rested in Freeport Monday charged
with stealing goods from the road, but
whether these are the two conductors
the officials will not state.

keokuk, Dec. 13.-After firing a
bullet thru the head of his wife, who
had run away from him, yesterday aft
stranger here, tried to escape and
failing, shot himself. inficting prob
ably fatal wounds. The double crime
was the climax of a long series of
domestic in~felicities, Craig having fol-
lowed his wife here last week from
South Dakota. Mrs. Craig came to
Keokuk in September, according to the
statement of her father, coming here
from South Dakota to live with her
parents and to get away from her hus-
band, with whom her life had not been
happy. Craig, it was stated by those
who claimed to know, had made life
SO miserable for the woman he had
sworn to protect, that she made up her
mind to return to the home Of her
father. He had avoWed that if she
deserted him that he would follow her
and take her life, so the story goes,
and it is said that after her arrival in
this city. she had lived in mortal fear
that he would carry out his threat.
1t is stated that when Craig ap-
peared at the house he did not seem to
be under the influence of liquor. He
asked her a few questions, wanted
her to return to him, saying that he
had a position in the city and would
provide for her. Suddenly he pulled
out a revolver and fired. Without
waiting to see the result of his shot,
he made a wild run down Ninth street
toward the bluff this side Of Bloody
Run. 1t is evident that he intended
to attempt to escape, but when he was
intercepted by Alderman Off and Street
Supervisor Farrell he decided that 1t
was all off, SO turned the pistol on
himself.
Craig has been in he city for about
two weeks and for several days has
beer in the employ Of the city, under
Supervisor Farrell. He was taken to
st. Joseph's hospital, and the physi-
clan in attendance states that he is
liable to die at any moment.

ton was given a Slightly different
trend by the drafting Of resolutions in

members.
