ELIHU ROOT MAKES
VERY BAD BLUNDER

Washington December 7.-Senator Root
of New York, presiding in the Senate to-
dav in the temporary absence of Vice
President Sherman. created, all unknown
to him at the time, sensation among
the newspaper men whose effects were
even International. Copies of the annual
report of the Secretary of the Treasury
were In the hands of the newspapers
throughout this country and Europe, TO
be held in confidence for publication to-
morrow afternoon. The report itself was
still unsigned on the desk of Secretary
MacVeagh in the treasury building.
By some means as yet undeciphered,
two printed copies OF the report round
their way to the desk of the president
of the Senate Mr.. Root is past mas
ter in the art of dispatching routine bus
mess In the Senate and deftly handed the
treasury report over to the desk, with
the routine announcement customary In
such cases. Instantly the keen cared re-
porters of the Senate floor dashed to the
wire the news that the report had De-
come public document and the re
lease" clicked off to Chicago. San Fran
cisco, New York and to Europe.
1t was well nigh two hours before the
fact that blunder had been made was
released. Upon the Secretary's instance
an effort was made to recall the release,
hut he soon came to appreciate that the
mischief was in fact irreparable and con-
scented to waive the technicality and the
release was confirmed.
An amusing nature of the mix-up was
in the fact that the report should not
have been handed into the Senate at all,
since. in accordance with the law, 1t Is
addressed only to the speaker of the
House of Representatives.

DOXEYS HELD ON
MURDER CHARGE

ST. Louis. December 7.--Dr. Loren D.
Doxey of Columbus, Neb., and his wife,
Mrs. Dora Doxey, who has been in Jail
here since Saturday on an Information
charging murder, were held to await the
action of the grand jury tomorrow, by a
coroner's jury late today.
DIR. Doxey was ARRESTED at the door OF
the Jail as he was seeking admission TO
his wifes cell.
Fourteen witnesses identified Mrs. Dox-
ey as the woman who lived with William
j. Erder, the man she is accused or
poisoning, as his wife.
DR.. W. H Warrens report showing
arsenic had been found in the body of
Erder was submitted.
Mrs Doxey did not attend the inquest
but the witnesses were taken to the jail.
Her sole reply to the identincation was;
.srhey are most certainly mistaken
Dr. Doxey did not testify The cor
oner's jury asked him two questions
which he refused TO answer. He was not
sworn.
Mrs Katherine Erder, mother of the
man Mrs Doxey is accused of killing.
testified her son became Ill after eating
a blackberry pie which his wife had
made.
Mrs. Doxey could not attend the IN
quest and was identified in prison by
nine men and five women who went to
the jail from the inquest room. Among
the latter was Miss Kate Erder sister
of the dead man, but Mrs. Doxey gave
no sign that she recognized the woman
whose efforts to clear up Erder's death
resulted in her imprisonment.
After 1--WE of the witnesses had pro-
nounced her to be Mrs. Erder, Mrs Dox-
ey was asked:
Are these witnesses mistaken as to
your IDENTIFY
'sThey most emphatically are" was the
reply given with considerable vigor
Then, as, another witness was escorted
into the room. Mrs. Doxey sank back
on her pillow. apparently in stupor.

The Dyspepsia
Of Old Age
Strong Digestion and an Adequate
Nutrition Invariably Mean Long
and Healthy Life,

There is O process known as meta
bolism going on constantly in the
body, and by which the tissues are
built up, and after having served their
purpose In the physical economy, are
torn down and cast off.
So long as the due relation between
waste and supply is maintained, nutri-
ton, and the various functions of the
body are continued. But after middle
life and in old age there comes time
when waste exceeds supply, and when
the various elements which constitute
the different fluids, tissues and organs
no longer hold their due proportion,
and the principal of life itself becomes
enfeebled, the body no longer having
power to assimilate new material as it
once did.
AS old age creeps on, all the func-
lions gradually fail, especially those
of digestion, absorption and assimfla-
ton, and the system being deprived of
its full quota of nutriment. slowly
wears out. If the nutritive and diges-
tive processes of old people could be
maintained unimpaired, life could be
prolonged almost indefinitely.
There are many old persons in whose
stomachs the gastric function Is almost
entirely suspended. When this trouble
occurs, the problem is. how to digest
the 1000 ana BeL dlOuS Without the
natural stomach juices There Is but
one way to overcome the effects Of this
condition, and that is to supply arti-
ficially to the stomach powerful d.
gestive substance to take the place of
the juices which 1t fails to secrete
naturally.
For this purpose, there is nothing
superior to STUARTS DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS known to medical science as
they supply the deficiency, and are such
a reliable and thoroughly efficient sub
stitute for the natural gastric juices
that If two or three are taken after
each meal the food will be digested in
SO complete a manner that the natural
digestive fluids will never be missed
stu. rt's Dyspepsia Tablets should be
used by all old and middle aged per-
sons, in order to prevent or cure the
dyspepsia of old age. Through their
use complete digestion of the food Is
assured, with a consequent increased
nutrition of the body, and STAYING off
of the sensibility and decrepitude of old
age.
This remedy is, however. not only
good for the indigestion incidental to
advanced life but Is also applicable to
the dyspepsia and stomach troubles OF
any age, from youth up.
Secure a package of this famous dys-
pepsia remedy from your druggist for
soc and If you find that as you get
older your digestion and assimilation
becomes weaker, this remedy viii as
sist the stomach in the performance of
its functions so that the general sys-
tenn will not suffer from the delin-
quency of the digestive organs.
A sample package will be sent you
if you will forward your name and adj
dress to the r. A. Stuart Company. 1870
