STEALS BOOTS, SELLS
THEM TO PARTNER OF
MAN WHO LOST THEM
MEMBER OF FIRM PAYS ST FOR
HIS OWN SHOES
Thief Who Robbed First Street Store
of Footwear Is Sentenced to
Twenty-Five Days In
Workhouse

For stealing a pair Of shoes from one
partner and selling them for 81 to the
other member of the firm Charles
Northrop was sentenced by Police JUS
tice Chambers yesterday morning to
serve twenty-five days in the work.
house on charge of petty larceny.
Northrop walked into the store of III.
Teinstein at 1873 East First street, and
while the proprietor was busy took a
pair of shoes and walked away. About
five minutes later he entered the store
of H. Bechinsky at 205 East First
street and offered the shoes for 81.
Bechinsky jumped at the bargain and
bought the shoes.
He was so overjoyed at his financial
coup he went to show Feinstein what
a good trade he had made. Feinsteln
and Bechinsky are partners, and each
have charge of store. When Fein-
stein saw the shoes his hair stood up
and he muttered almost inaudibly the
shoes had been taken from his place.
At that time Patrolman Krug saun-
tered by. In an instant he was grabbed
by the excited merchants, who told OF
their being buncoed. While they were
telling their story Northrop emerged
from a saloon a short distance away.
The merchants yelled THAT is the
man, and ran for him. Krug ar
rested the culprit and took him to the
central police station. A careful search
of Northrop's clothes failed to reveal
more than 25 cents. He had treated his
friends to several rounds of drinks.
He was taken into police court, where
he declared at first he had bought the
footwear from a bartender for quar-
ter. Then he admitted having stolen
them; When he was sentenced Fem
stein asked Justice Chambers to compel
Northrop to refund the quarter in his
possession. This the justice refused to
do, and the merchants left the court
room trying to devise some way by
which they could get their money back.

LIBRARY GIVEN ORIGINAL
PRINT BY PAUL REVERE
Specimen of Noted Hero's Work as
Engraver Bequeathed by
e. r. o'NeiI

Everybody knows about Paul Revere
on top of a horse. But few even of the
school children that recite the heroic
poem are aware that this same Paul
Revere was one of the first and fore
most American engravers, and that his
pictures were as patriotic as was his
midnight ride.
The public library has just received,
by bequest from the late Edward Il.
O'Neil, an original of Paul Revere's
famous print, engraved and colored by
himself, of 1.-THE Bloody Massacre in
Boston," This was one of the most
effective and famous of the earlier
American prints. OF late 1t has been
reproduced by facsimile for Avery s
history of the United States, but the
originals are very scarce.

Flatulency or Wind
On Stomach
As 1t Is Commonly Named, MeansThat
Decaying Food Is Making Gas

This most serious condition is very
prevalent and results most diStreSsingly
and fatally oftentimes. The stomach in
cases of fiatulency is unable to digest
the food properly. Decay sets in,
gases form, extend the stomach, force
their way downward into the bowels,
and If not relieved it extends upward,
pressing against the lungs, liver and
heart, causing shortness Of breath,
belching, foul odors and many times
sudden death.
Foods which are filed with gases,
when taken into a deranged stomach,
cause fiatulency rapidly, vegetables
being especially given to this quality.
Against such condition the stomach
can do but little, because these foul
and poisonous gases affect it's glands,
muscles and tissues to such a degree
as to incapacitate it almost at once.
These gases distend the stomach in
all directions, preventing the contract
ing muscles from doing their regular
duties, or # they do force the gas from
the stomach, 1t goes elsewhere in the
system with even more harassing re-
Suits and then the decaying mass still
remains to generate more gases.
The most effective methods for allay-
ing flatulency is to remove the cause
of gas making. An emetic will do this,
but the stomach will have the same
trOuDle the IIlOIilSill new lOOu OAtSIS IL.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets get at
gas food at once digest it, prevent
decay, quickly reduce food to nour-
ishment, make good, rich gastric fluid,
and pass the digested food to the in
testines, giving the stomach it's rest
and the system it's nourishment. Flat
ulency simply cannot exist where these
little tablets are used. They build up
the stomach fluids, so that it matters
not how many vegetables you eat or
food containing quantities of gas, the
stomach does it's work well and
quickly.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
everywhere and used the whole world
over by sick stomachs and stomachs
that want to eat heartily and yet not
get sick.
Every druggist carries Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, price so cents per box.

he has added many labor saving de-
vices which are being copied by the
machinery supply houses of the coun-
try. One of these devices is NOV
able belt frame, which runs on track
and on which all of the heavy betting
is carried. A certain piece of betting
is wanted. Say hundred feet of IL
inch. The frame holding this partic-
ular kind is carried to the measuring
point, and the betting unrolled along
the floor, which is also laid off in feet.
When the betting is unrolled and
measured 1t is then cut off and rolled
from the frame end, and the operation
ends with the roll of betting at the ele-
vator, and the operation is all done
by one man, work which by the old
way would have taken several. The
heavy wire rope is handled in the same
way.
On the third floor are the pulley
and roofing bins, and every size and
kind are carried in stock, all Of the
floors are connected by automatic ele.
vators, and every entrance and stair
way is fitted with fire door.
In the rear Of this building is the
machine shops, This is the old part
of the plant, and consists OF three
buildings, one 60 by 80 feet, one go by
40 and one SO by go feet.
The Komp Machine Works can
furnish anything in the machinery line
and is now putting in a stock Of fire
hose from the small garden hose to
the larger kind used by city fire de-
partments. The company also is agent
for the Westinghouse Electric Com
pany, and will in the future handle
the lamps made by this concern.
The company covers wide terri
tory in Its trade, reaching as far in
some lines as Mobile, New Orleans,
Meridian and Jackson, and is broad
ening every day.
The concern is one of Hattiesburg's
most prosperous business enterprises,
and gives employment to a number of
skilled men. Mr.. Komp, the owner
and manager, is a practical machinery
supply man, and his management is
proof of his ability in this line. He is
assisted by corps Of statesmen, super
intendents, whose united efforts go
to make this one of the most progress
sive concerns in the South.
