SIBERIA'S MANY LARGE CITIES
They Are a Surprise to the American
Visitor.

One is continually surprised al
finding such large, prosperous cities il
Siberia, writes Prof. G. E. Blakeslee
in the Boston Transcript. Omsk has
some $4,000 Inhabitants, Oh 25, 900,
Tomsk $4,000, Krasniarsk $4,000 and
Irkutsk $4,000. In many ways, how.
ever, they still show the crudeness Of
frontier life. In OBJ hardly a house
is over n story high, and the dust in
the unpaved streets lies some inches
thick. On the other hand, there is q
large number of schools in the coun-
try. Tomsk is the educational cen
ter. besides being the largest city. 1t
has an institute of technology and q
university Of some reputation, which
Is attended by several hundred stu
dents.
After travelling for days over the
level, monotonous plains of the west,
1t is a pleasure to reach the borders
OF the hill country. which stretches
from krasniarsk some hundred miles
on to Lake Balkal. In ones first en-
thusiasm n is tempted to exclaim
that k%rasniarsk is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world. 1t GER
tainly is charmingly located, remind
ing one of many a town on the Rhine.
1t is built in the valley where the
katscha flows into the great Yenisel
mountains on every side, and the
high banks of the river above and be-
low. Seen from a distance, with its
many church domes glistening be-
tween the hills, it makes the most de-
lightful picture of all Siberia.
A further ride of a day and a half
through this hill country, much of
which is heavily wooded with a thick
growth of pine, brings one to Irkutsk,
which after Tomsk, is the largest city
In Siberia. 1t is in many ways a very
attractive place. Its main streets are
paved and it is lighted by electricity;
1t has three daily papers, a large thea
ter, a handsome art museum, a tech
nical school, a theological seminary,
26 churches and one of the most i'm

English travellers on the frontier be

Forrest, writes: The men of Ji-J.

PARTIES OF HENRY
COUNTY DIFFER
Split in Investigating Com
mittee Is Now Ex-
pected.
DEMOCRATS ARE THE CAUSE
DESIRE PEEP INTO COUNTY REC
oRDS OF MANY YEARS BACK,
ALTHOUGH STATE LAW LIMITS
PROBE TO SIX.

New Castle, Ind, Nov iS.--A split
Is confidently expected in the commit
tee which was appointed by the coun-
ty commissioners for the purpose of
selecting an expert to go over the
county books and records. The split
seems inevitable unless the republican
members concede the demands of the
democratic members and make the Pc
riod of investigation go farther back
than six years. The non-partisan
board appointed by the commission
ers is composed Of w. S. Chambers
and Edward Smith, democrats and
William H. Elliott and Lyn c. Boyd,
republicans. The latter are expected
to stand by the plan of the commits
sioners, all republicans, for the exam
ination to extend back six years. This
plan is not satisfactory to the two
democratic members, who will demand
that the investigation extend back for
4 period of fifteen years and in one Of
ficea period of seventeen years, or
since 1891. The republican members
in support of the commissioners, will
contend that the county cannot recov-
err for 4 period of more than six years
back, and this is in accordance with
the statute of limitations. But the
democratic members of the committee
will contend that, even If the county
cannot recover a cent, the inVestiga-
ton should be this far back as an ex-
ample for the future. 1t is known
fact that many fees, which courts have
declared illegal, have been collected
by county officers in the past fifteen
years. The democratic members ar
que that if an ex-official is honest, he
will willingly reimburse the county if
it is found that illegal fees have been
taken by him while in office or if mis-
takes are found that were in his ia
vOr.

Poor Tools And
A Good Worker
That Is What Makes Indigestion, pys-
pepsa, Sour Taste. Foul Breath
And Catarrh.

The stomach is a good strong vital
organ, which is constantly protecting
and feeding every other organ of the
body.
b 1t is the most abused, neglected and
scorned member of man also. Most
men abuse their stomach with under
cooked food, high living, alcohol, to-
bacco, pastries and scores of other I'M
healthy practices.
When the stomach at last sickens
of all this abuse and cannot do its full
duty, most men are not warned but
keep up their assaults on the stomach
until a. last it rebels and begins to
strike back and cry for help. Man by
his own abuse has taken away from
the stomach the tools to work with.
These tools are the gastric juices
which go to make up the digestive
agents. From to So lbs. of gastric
juice are turned into the stomach ey-
cry day.
When poor, poisonous food con-
sumes this juice, dilutes it, robs j. of
it's strength and throws it, ferment-
ed mass from the system, of course
fluid which cannot be readily supplied
by the blood.
When food comes into stomach
filled with depleted fluids lacking of
power to do their part, the good
strong stomach is using poor tools
and of course, cannot succeed in it's
work
condition which often prevails
is that which takes place when the
gastric juice contains too much alkali.
If the juice were wholly alkaline it
would not only devour and digest the
fluid but would eat and digest the
stomach itself. Such gastric fluid
does the digestion no good and at
tacks the walls of the stomach max
ing them raw and sore and setting up
inflammation and irritation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
strengthen a stomach filled with poor
gastric juice. They will remove any
abnormal alkaline condition, allay ir
ritation, sweeten the breath, remove
catarrhal conditions and digest food
no matter how the stomach has acted
before.
These little tablets contain an in
gredient, one grain of which will di-
gest perfectly 5000 grains of food.
They will digest an entire meal placed
in jar without the aid of any other
force except themselves. They have
demonstrated this time after time.
Every druggist carries them in
stock; price soc. and 10000 physicians
use them in their practice. Send us
your name and address and we will
mail you at once a trial package free.

INVESTIGATE DEATH
OF YOUNG WOMAN
Startling Disclosures Are Ex-
peCted.

An investigation of the death of a
local young woman at Indianapolis q
short time ago, is being conducted by
the police of the capital city. The
young woman died as the result of an
operation, which is believed by the To-
cal authorities to have been criminal
in it's nature. The matter was placed
in the hands of the Indianapolis au-
thorities as the young woman was in
their jurisdiction at the time her
death ensued.
1t may be probable that sensational
developments will follow the work of
the police. 1t is asserted disclosures
may be made that will involve other
persons, we'll known in this city. The
body of the young woman was brought
to this city for funeral and burial.

FIGHT FOR LIVES
Sailors Try to Prevent Lum-
Der Schooner From
Sinking. .
BATTLE FOR ONE MONTH.

New York, Nov. 1S.-With forestry
sail set the schooner Jennie Thomas
of Savannah, Ga, lumber laden, if she
has not gone to the bottom, is drift
ing 400 miles east of the capes of Vir-
ginia, waterlogged. Her captain, Will
liam Campbell, and his crew of six
men were brought here on the steam
err Afghanistan, from Arabian ports.
They had fought for their lives for
nearly month on board the leaking
vessel in a series of heavy westerly
gales and then abandoned her.
Describing the thrilling experiences,
Capt. Campbell said:
I'VE sailed from Savannah Oct. 16.
Stormy weather was encountered. On
the fifth day the gasoline engine
broke. The sails were handled with
difficulty. The foresail blew away
and the vessels seams opened. We
manned the pumps and for twelve
days kept them going day and night,
but the water gained steadily. The
storeroom was washed out and our
provisions badly damaged. On Nov.
16, when the men had almost given up
hope, the steamer Afghanistan came
along. We abandoned the schooner.

NOTHING CRIMINAL

there was anything criminal connect

daughter of Mrs. Emma Kerr, of Mum

been malpractice in connection with
the case. Prosecuting Attorney Jes-

lions of the law, other authorities are
the ones to investigate.
