1t isn't SO difficult to strengthen a
weak Stomach if one goes at it correctly.
And this is true of the Heart and
Kidneys. The old fashioned way of
dosing the Stomach or stimulating the
Heart or Kidneys is surely wrong. DR..
Shoop first pointed out this error. Go
o the weak or ailing nerves of these
organs" said he. Each inside organ
has its controlling or inside nerve.
When these nerves fail then those
organs must surely falter. This vital
truth is leading druggists everywhere

OLD TOMB A DEATH TRAP
In All Five Persons Were Caught and
Suffocated One After
Another.

A certain native discovered the en-
trance of a tomb in the floor Of his
stable, says A. e. P. Weigall, in Put,
MANS, and at nee proceeded to
worm his way down the tunnel. This
was the end Of the man. His wife,
finding that he had not returned for
two hours Or SO later, went down
the newly-found tunnel after him.
That was the end of her, also. In
turn, three other members of the fam
lily went down into the darkness; and
that was the end of them. A native
official was then called, and, light
ing his way with a candle, penetrat-
ed down the winding passage. The
air was sc foul that he was soon
obliged to retreat, but he stated that
he was just able to see in the dis
lance ahead the bodies of the unfor-
tunate peasants, all of whom had
been overcome by what he quantity
described as the evil lighting and
bad climate" Various attempts at
the rescue OF the bodies having failed,
we gave orders that this tomb should
be regarded as their sepulcher and
that its mouth should be sealed up.
According to the natives, there was
evidently a vast hoard of wealth
stored at the bottom of this tomb, and
Would-be robbers had met their death
at the hands of the demon in charge
of it, who had seized each man by
the throat as he came down the tun-
and had strangled him.

INDIANS WERE DESTROYED
White Man Coveted Land Of onas
for Sheep and Used
Treachery.

In his article on his adventures
among the Ona Indians of TERRA del
Fuego in Harper's for August, Charles
w. Furlong charges the white colon.
lists with having wantonly destroyed
this once strong race.
LESS than three decades ago the
primitive Inhabitants, the Ona 1ndi-
ans, lived, hunted and fought from An
agarda point in Magellan strait to
Beagle channel.
Had the whole island been like
the southern half, to-day the Onas, IN
all probability, would be in control
of practically all of their original do
main. Had it been like the northern
half, the world would undoubtedly
look upon the hunting grounds OF an
extinct race. AS 1t is, within less than
thirty years the Onas have shrunk
from perhaps 5000 to 800, and all be-
u they possessed land the white
man coveted for his sheep, and a
Unborn courage and ferocity strong
enough to oppose him.
with the establishment of the first
sheep range, in the early SOS, began a
cruel and persistent warfare on the
part of the white man. In reprisal
for the land from which he was driv-
en-, the Ona raided the range at night
for the white %guanaco,' as he called
the strange animal, the sheep, which
he found not only easily captured,
S but sweeter and more tender to the
taste than the wild guanacos OF his
island.
These raids were SO persistent n
assumed such magnitude that 1t really
became a case Of Indian or sheep, n
the scattered settlers with their rang
ere began a warfare of determination
In which hirelings were engaged and
the 'chunkies' shot on sight. Occa-
sionally a large number with their
women and children were rounded up
and shipped to Dawson island, where
Observation-Disclosures quarters soon &C
complished their work. 1t being a
case primarily of bullets against ar
rows Ia an open country, he result
was obvious. In treachery the white
man outdid the Indian. He invariably
took him at a disadvantage and played
false with his truce, ever resorting to
poisoning one of the Ona's main food
supplies, the blubber of stranded
whale"

One hundred and fifty boys
agreed to work a plat of land
according to specific rules during
the year 1910. The boys, with
some outside aid, will hold a fair
next fall sometime in Oc-
tober. 1t is hoped that this will
grow into a regular County Fair

Pension Bill Not a Law.

Little Rock, Ark. -Statehouse
circles was thrown into a fever
of excitement when it was dis
covered that the one million dol
lar appropriation for the Conied-
crate pensions reported to be
passed by the last legislature
had never reached the governor
and consequently was not signed
by misunderstanding The bill was
passed by both houses in regular
form, but on account OF an over
sight had never been enrolled or
presented to Governor Donaghey
for his approval. The bill passed
on April 6, more than one month
beforethe legislatures djournsed.
The discovery means that no
pensions will be paid in 1910,
and the appropriation was in
tended to cover 1909 and 1910.
State Auditor Jobe stated to-
night that he had paid out
$465, 900 Of the appropriation be-
fore he discovered the error.
