ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP
CONDUCTOR IN HIS CAR

Conductor II. Mintonye. Of the
Brush-st. line, was held up by two
men in his car on Jefferson-ave., near
Randolph-st.. about 1880 Sunday
night. and only the timely interior
ence OF Motorman Sullivan prevented
the bandits from getting away with Il
nice handful OF change. The men
boarded the car at the Brushst. depot
and were the only passengers. One
of them handed the conductor an In
yitation TO a dance and then demand
ed two bits" for it. When Mintonye
refused TO come up with the money
the other crook struck him violent
blow in the face, while the man who
had first accosted him made a grab
for his pockets. Mintonye put up a
good fight until the motorman, failing
to get his go-ahead signal after stop
ping at the Randolph-st crossing. look
ed In and saw what was going on.
With the motorman's approach the
would-be robbers fed. Two men,
thought to be the same pair, ran
when they encountered Patrolman
Nau at Woodbridge and Hastings-sts.
10 minutes later. Nau fired several
shots after them, but both got away.

ing extremely difficult It was d
day to make one want to hug ones
own fireside.- In consequence many
pews were deserted in the city
churches The street railway COM
pany was bothered considerably. but
managed TO maintain fairly good SER

graph companies suffered some damage
by reason OF broken wires and the tele-
phone company also had its troubles.
Toward night the mercury went
down below the freezing point and the
slush was turned to ice. The storm
continued throughout the night, but in
the colder temperature the big wet
fakes were transformed into small dry
particles. the kind that make trouble
for the street car men. The storm
had apparently spent Itself early Mon

Do You Enjoy -FOUR Meals?
One of the Most Important Questions
TO Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health.

The burning question, TO you, is,
Are you getting out OF life all the
pleasure and the health you are en-.
titled tor If not, why not?
No matter whether every organ
and member of your body is in a
sound state OF health and strength,
IL your stomach is in any way dis.
ordered. you are not going TO be
yourself" You are going to be a
worried, out-of-sorts, nervous or sui
len individual, whose actions will re-
feet your condition inside, and the
people will naturally avoid you.
The world wants to smile and be
cheerful, and unless you are cheer
full and smile, at least, occasionally.
you will have few friends, fewer OPP
portunities, no success, and you will
go down in defeat.-defeate by dys-
pepsia and bad stomach.
A good and thorough digestion has
a quick, wonderful reaction upon the
brain. You must have noticed 1t
many times, for the brain and stom-
ach are as intimately connected as a
needle and its thread, one-can hard
ly be used to advantage without the
other. II your stomach Is slow and
lazy In digesting your food, it will
produce at once a slow, lazy and
cloudy influence upon your brain.
Mark III II your stomach has abb
solutely quit work, and fermentation
is poisoning your vitals as a results
surely your brain is going to be slug
gish and correspondingly depressed.
No one need tell you that.
But why continue 10 suffer all the
miseries and torments that a disor,
dered stomach brings you?
If your stomach can not digest your
food, what will? Where's the relief?
Where's the cure?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
relief and the cure. Why? Because.
"a all stomach troubles arise from
indigestion and because one ingre-
dent OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
is able to thoroughly and completely
digest 5000 grains OF any kind OF
food, doesn't II stand TO reason that
these little Dyspepsia Tablets are go-
ing to digest all the food and what
ever food you put into your stom-
ach? Science nowadays can digest
food without having TO use the stom-
ach for IL. And Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the result OF this scien-
tific discovery. They digest and d.
gest thoroughly and well, anything
and everything you eat
So, II your stomach refuses to work
or can't work. and you suffer from
eructations. bloat, hrash. fermenta-
tion, biliousness, sour stomach, heart
burn. irritation, indigestion, or dys-
pepsia OF whatever form, \iust take

CURRENT PALAVER
OF The POLITICIANS

! That the Wayne County Democracy
learned a great lesson In politics In
1904 is evidenced by the lively interest
already being shown In the selection
of presidential candidate. The local
leaders want some other champion
than William j. Bryan, preferably Har-
mon, OF Ohio, or Johnson, OF Mime
sofa, but they are prepared to hurrah
even for the Peerless Leader IL he
wins and to whoop things up In red
| fire style.
Four years ago the Detroit Demo
cratic chiefs did not care much about
national issues. They thought Alton
B. Parker would be good man be-
cause 1t was anticipated that his nom
ination would mean a big campaign
fund. But all hopes were OF. After
the Wayne leaders had given Daniel
J. Campau 10 votes TO fall the rest
OF the state into line for Parker. they
broke with him because he would not
let them nominate Justus Stearns, a
Republican, but a millionaire, for gov
ernor.
All the while, the Connolly-Hender-
son-May bury-Th combination
had been figuring on local issues, and
when Ferris was nominated for COVER
nor, they spiked the national gun and
refused to even allow the name or
Parker TO be used on the stump. When
John Sharp Williams, minority leader
in congress, spoke here. he was care
fully told how hopeless 1t was to men,
ton national matters and he did not
once name his presidential candidate.
And the outcome:
Roosevelt carried Detroit by $4,000
and Codd by $1,000 says one OF the
leaders reminiscently. III we had
made a fight on national issues, we
might have cut of some OF those
straight tickets.
So In the hope OF strengthening an
old-time national Democratic spirit
and bringing over lot OF straight-tick-
ct voters to the Democrats side, the
Democracy will mix in the national
campaign from the start and Will have
the biggest speakers and raise the
loudest dust for many year.
