The DEATH Of

BELGIAN MONARCH SUFFERS RE-
LAPSE TONIGHT AND COURT
CIRCLES GIVE UP HOPE or HIS
RECOVERY.

King Leopold appears imminent.
He had a distinct relapse this

alive through artificial means.
Court circles have practically no
hope Of the patients survival.

nope OF the patients survival.
Brussels, Dec. 15.-The condition
OF King Leopold took turn for the
worse this afternoon. During the
night he had held his own apparently.
In the middle of the afternoon word
came from the sick chamber that his
majesty had suffered a relapse. This
evening there appears to be no i'm
mediate danger of death, but the king
experienced return OF the intestinal
complication and it is feared this will
initiate against the ultimate success
OF yesterdays operation.
Interest in Heir Presumptive.
In view of the condition of the king,
interest is concentrated upon Prince
Albert Leopold, the heir presumptive,
son Of the late Count of Flanders,
King Leopold's brother. Prince Albert
is in striking contrast to his uncle. He
is distinct family man, happily we'd
ded. He has Travelled and studied in
America and is a great student of
economics and politics, often lecturing
in public.
Nevertheless he has quite modern
tastes, is splendid horseman, and is
very Iond OF motoring. He has even
made fight in a dirigible. He has a
frank, good natured face and invites
confidence.
The art shops in the city are freely
exhibiting in their windows pictures
Of the royal family-above King Leo
pold, aged, austere and reserved; be-
low, Prince Albert, young, brilliant
and pleasant. Moreover. the prince
is popular with the people, whose
sympathies and respect he is certain
TO win as sovereign.
Yesterday had double momentous
significance in Belgian history, on ac-
count of the operation on King Leo
pold and the action of the senate in
Passing an army bill that has aroused
great interest in this country.
So far as the Kings illness is con
cerned, the people of the country show
some Indifference with reference to
the change that would occur in case
of his death.

Bowel Tonic For Old Folks
 Free

No matter how sound and healthy old people are they still suffer with their bowels. The machinery or the system doesn't work as It did when they were young and active. but wniLe i. you can't restore youth you can help old age to live more pleasantly
 That laxative is needed every little while by people as they get around 90 and beyond. there Is no doubt, put lt IS people, women and all, except those who are in the prime of life, shoulc avoid anything that gives shock to the system and which at best Is but the bills and cathartic tablets. salts and purgatiye waters. They are too strong and only do temporary good. Not only that. but they really bind the bowels
 what you want Is something that will regulate the bowels and again get them in the habit of performing Ger tain function at certain time Wniie at the same time toning and strength. ening the muscles of the stomach and bowels. Such a remedy Is Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin, and if you have never used 1t let the doctor send you @ sample bottle free of charge. In this way you can try it without cost. All druggists sell 1t at 50 cents and $1 a bottle. and those who have used 1t will continue to buy 1t. It is pleasant to take, very effective and very economi- cal as a household remedy, as all the family can use 1t. But pr. Caldwell Is eager to have all readers unacquainted with it to send for free sample.
 Thousands of old people and heads of families are never without 1t, for in this way they cure and avoid constipa- tion, liver trouble, indigestion, sour stomach. sick headache; sleepiness af- ter eating, .belching and similar stom- ach. liver and bowel disturbances. Mrs. Tiliie Homan, 404 Wautanga Street, Knoxville, Tenn, and T. H. Marshall, Nail, Ok as well as thousands of oth- CTS, attribute much of their present good health to this grand laxative tonic.
 Dr.. Caldwell personally will be pleas cd to give you any medical advice you may desire for yourself or family per taining to the stomach, liver, or bow els absolutely free of charge. Explain your case in a letter and he will reply to you in detail. For the free sample simply send your name and address on Q postal card or otherwise. For either request the doctors address is Dr. w. B Caldwell. R. 50I Caldwell building, Monticello, III.

TRADE GROWING LARGER
PLANS OF REBATE ASSOCIATION
 PROVING BENEFICIAL.
DetniIs of the sums Refunded Out-of- Town shoppers-ThOusands of
 Dollars Are
 Spent.

Through the efforts of the Montgom- cry Rebate Association. the out-of- town trade in the city has been mate- rially increased. During the past few weeks thousands of dollars have been spent by visitors with the local mer- chants and the association has refunded several hundred dollars in railroad fares. The bureau is now considering the pla nof arranging with the rail- roads for weekend rates.
 The records of the Rebate Associa- tion show that the out-of-town trade has been almost doubled. and that the scheme has proven a live-wire in bringing trade to the city and boosting Montgomery. Secretary J. M Hollo- way Is urging the members to send folders to shoppers in surrounding cities. calling their attention to the rebates.
 During the past week the associa- tion refunded s250.72 in railroad fares. The proceeding week. $31S.67 was re- funded, and during State Fair week, the sum of $417.63 was refunded for fares. During the same periods the local merchants have prospered and the trade has been a record-breaker.
