A possible death sentence awaits Janer.
 Janer elected to be tried before three iuGges instead of the usual jury and judge. in the hope that he would thus stand a Better chance of escaping the death penalty owing to the intense in- dignation felt throughout the city over his offense of five weeks ago At first Jal;er seemed indifferent to his posi- tion but he is now in a highly nervous state. according to his counsel. Edward c. Clark. While no statement has been made as to the nature of the defense. it is believed the plea of insanity will be advanced. This is the theory of the prisoners wife. who renOunced him when she learned what he had done.
 The Loersch girl has been at the House of the Good Shepherd here since she and Janer were discovered in Wen deller's Hotel here- She was not all lowed to return to her home for fear that an attempt would be made to prevent her from appearing at the trial.
 Janer is 34 years old. the son of Joseph Janer. who was a wealthy com- mission merchant of Brooklyn. On the evening of February 1, Janer called at the Loersch home and said he was go- ing to Baltimore. He asked permission to take Catherine to the railroad sta ton in his automobile. declaring that Mrs. Janer would accompany them. Permission was granted them.
 Mrs. Janer was not In the automo- bile and he brought the girl directly to this city. It is believed by many that he exercised some sort of hypnotic power over the girl. Janer took the girl to a hotel in a disreputable part of the city on arriving. Later Janer tock the girl to Wendeller's hotel from whence she wrote a letter to her moth CT. Janer was drinking heavily when arrested.
 The girl told a story of gross mis- treatment by Janer. The latter is also under indictment in Brooklyn for ab- duction.

 Loss is Immense.
(SDeciaI from Tinted PraSSS

 Vienna, March S.-A total death list of more than two hundred with mil lions of dollars worth of property de- stro yed. will result from the blizzard that has ragged throughout a large part of Europe for the last three days, ac- cording to struggling reports that are reaching here today. It dS known that more than 150 persons have been killed in avalanches in the Austrian noun tains alone. A farmhouse at Granz was buried, killing seventeen persons, some of whom were children.
 Forty people lost their lives in the crushing of a shelter house for railway men in the Anlauf Valley. Twelve men were rescued from this house.

HIGHER DUTY OF
 A NEWSPAPER
Mot Obliged to Sanction Every Candidate
 of its Political Party.

, New York March S.-In decidins T whether or not a certain New Rochelle newspaper can be called Republican"
 when it has at times refused to sup port minor candidates of that party. Justice Woodward says:
 ''The mere fact that a newspaper re- ; fuses to give its sanction to every candidate who is placed in nomination
 in the name of a great political party
 js not conclusive of it's standing as a
 fair representative of the party; there are times when newspapers owe a lhfgher duty than allegiance to a mere
 party name, and under such circum-
 stances they are not to be judged from the standpoint of those whose selfish purposes may be interfered with but ! by what Emerson would call the "av- terage tendency"

FIatuleney or Wind
 On Stomach
As It Is Commonly Named, Means That Decaying
 Food Is Making Gas.

This most serious condition is very prevalent and results most distress ingly and fatally oftentimes. The stomach in cases of f1atulency is un- able to digest the food properly. De- cay 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 short ness of breath. belching, foul odors and many times sudden death.
 Foods which are filled with gases, when taken into a deranged stomach cause f1atulency rapidly,vegetables be- ing especially given to this quality. Against such a condition the stomach can do but little, because these foul and poisonous gases affect its glands, muscles and tissues to such 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 if they do force the gas from the stomach it goes elsewhere in the system with even more haraSs- ing results, and then the decaying mass still remains to generate more gases.
 The most effective method for al- laying iatulency is to remove the cause of gas making. An emetic will do this but the stomach will have the same trouble the moment new food enters it.
 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 its 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 50 cents per box. ,Tke demand for these little digesters is constantly increasing Forty thou sand physicians in America and Can ada use them and prescribe them.

EARLY COAL STRIKE UNLIKELY Miners Not Expected to go Ont Before
 Fall.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, March S.-In the opilnion of a man who was here with the mine workers representatives dur ing the last three days there will be no strike of the anthracite workers even if the operators refuse all the miners demands, as they have publicly said they would.
 It is his belief that if the operators persist in their refusal to grant any concessions the mine workers will be advised by President Lewis and the district officers to remain at work for the summer, while the union is being strengthened, and wait until fall when there is a brisk demand for coal be- fore taking further action.
