Constipation and

The Latter Usually Caused BY The
Former, Which, In Turn, Has Its
Origin In Intestinal Indigestion.

Chronic constipation is a disease
which is about as prevalent as oyspep-
Sla and indigestion. Nearly every one
suffers from II occa sionally. but there
are millions OF people weo endure II

Many people seem TO have devel-
oped a perfect mania for taking pills,
and instead Of trying 10 ascertain the

ours, which reaches the appendix, and
the result is appendicitis
In investigating and tracing the
csusative factors OF constipation and
Its frequent sequel, appendicitis. IL has
been noted by physicians that the ma

companied by a long standing CASTRO

The idea that appendicitis is brought
on by foreign bodies, such as seeds,
etc. becoming lodged IA the appendix
IS an exploded theory. It is now de1-
nitely known thar constipation is the
most prolific ca use of this dread dis

Photographic Imitation Is Un-

The United States secret service is
sending out circulars giving warning
of the appearance of a new counterfeit

sign, Of the series of 1899.
1t is stated that the counterfeit is
well executed Photographic produce
tion on two pieces of paper, between
which a few pieces of red silk have
been distributed. The treasury number
is ID 6T061242, and secret service off,
cials are confident it will appear on all
the counterfeits owing. to the fact that
it is Photographic reproduction.
The counterfeiters have made no at
tempt TO color either the treasury num-
Der. seal or .denominational character
on the left end of the bill.
The edges of the new counterfeit
look as though the paper had been cut
with a penknife, being ragged and

entirely serious terms that IL either
balloon lands in a vacant lot next door

the balloonist $50 In cash The letter
is signed by the restaura teuf AS the

wire fences, they can not reply TO the
letter with any degree of certainty.
Miss Geneva Schaffer will go up in
the Queen OF the Pacific as mascot with

VAN TASsELL TOO HEAVY
Captain Park A. Van Tassell who
piloted the City of Oakland on its initial
Journeys. viii not take part in this race,
because of the fact that he weighs more
than some OF the other aviators. This
means that the other balloon would be
able TO carry more ballast than the one
in which he made the flight, so in order
to further the chances of his Club he
has insisted that less weighty men
make the trip.

Two Dynamite Explosions In Chicago
Stir up the People Again
In the Loop Dis
trict.
CLUB ROOMS WRECKED
Renewal Of the Outbreak Between
Gaming Factions is Supposed
to be Cause Of the
Bombs.

CHICAGO, Nov. Bomb throwing
last evening, when two dynamite ex-
plosions occurred in the loop district,
frightening pedestrians, theatre pat
rons and hotel guests to the verge Of
panic and doing property damage esti-
mated at $4,000. The first explosion
occurred at 6:10 p. M. In the building
at 260 State street, the fifth and sixth
floors of which are leased to the EN-
pire Club, and the second occurred
thirty minutes later at ITO Madison
street. the third floor of which is in
part occupied by the Worth Jockey
Club. While there are no clews to the
perpetrators of these latest outrages,
which in police circles are known as
bombs '33 and 34," the police private
ly express the conviction that they can
be traced to the renewed outbreak be-
tween the warning gambling factions,
They are the first important explos,
ions Of the character since the arrest
and indictment of Vincent A. and JOS.
eph Altman, who stands accused In
connection with the outrage In the
rear Of the Chicago telephone office on
June ~, and which by the police was
charged to labor troubles. The fact
that bomb-throwing practically ceased
when Inspector LAWN prepared tc
fasten the crime on the Altmans has
occasioned much comment, but lately
1 the public seemed to forget all abou
such outrages. However. the memor.
of the people was refreshed this morn
ing when there appeared in all TIL,
Chicago newspapers copies OF the let
ter States Attorney Wayman wrote
the judges in seeking additiona
4 iurists to try criminal cases. In hi
letter Wayman called the attentio,
to the fact that he was about to tr,
the cases against the Altmans.
