Some people have the mistaken idea
mat they can make their stomachs
work by starving themselves. They
might cure the stomach that way but
lt would take so long that they would
nave no use for stomach when thew

the difficulty is to let the stomach
rest IT 1t wants to and employ a sub.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work Of your stomach for you and
digest your food just as your stomach
used to when it was we'll You can
prove this by putting your food in
glass jar with one of the tablets and
sufficient water and you will see the
food digested in just the same time as
the digestive fluids of the stomach
would do it, That will satisfy your

Dyspepsia Tablets after eating-eat

feel in your mind that your food is
being digested because you will feel
no disturbance or weight in Your
stomach, just as you did when you
were healthy boy or girl.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a
natural way because they contain only
the natural elements of the gastric

NO REASON ASSIGNED
Controversy Between Two Parties as
to The Wage Scale Has
Been EndIess--Is For In

The Hawkeye Pearl Button COM
nanv's factory in this city suspended
operations Indefinitely late yesterday
afternoon. Nearly one hundred but
ton cutters are affected and it is re-
ported today that number Of them
are preparing to leave Keokuk with
their families. The action, coming as
ii does in the midst Of considerable
labor difficulties, is believed to be
a direct slap at organized labor, in
thai the movement to organize but
ton cutters of the Mississippi Valley
into a gigantic union had its origin
among button cutters here. However,
considerable mystery attends the
con,panys action, for superintendent
!. A. Alexander today refused to give
out any statement to the press.
The notice that work would be sus-
pended was handed out yesterday af-
ternoon about 4:30 o'clock and sub
sequently the button cutters were
paid and concluded their work at the
regular closing hour. Today there
was lltllC dSIlNiby dDodl Inc ldClOly ,
but there was a report current that
negotiations have been entered into
with the railroad for the shipment OF
the raw material on hand to the COM

Is substantiated, it is believed that
the shutdown will continue during

of the Commercial club heard of the
close-down this morning. He is un-
able to assign any reason for the
company's action. but is likewise in.
clined to believe that labor difficult
ties have much to do with it. 1t is
stated with authority from another
source that the fear of an impending
strike has led to it. When the order
for the close-down went into effect
there were seventy-eight men at work
the force being depleted somewhat
during the past few months.
Ii is declared by union men that
the action on the part of the company
is aimed as blow at the unions. Some
time ago local button cutters were
organized into the keokuk Buttor

pleasing to all.
Captain lie Bron made the opening
address, speaking of the duties of the
men toward the company as indivi-
duals and of the citizens of Keokuk
erecting an armory here. The toast
master stated tnat this company mad
been particularly favored in having
the regular army sergeants here as
there has not been another company
in the state that has had the same
advantages that Company J. has. Cap
tain LeBron said that the local COM
pany had been particularly favored in
having received the new uniforms as
all companies have not received
them and the olive-drab uniform IS
entirely new and complete in every
other equipment which is of excel
lent standard.
Captain LeBron said; Il hope the
interest you have shown in the past
will continue, and | want to see Com
pany j. not only the strongest com
pany in the regiment, but the strong
est in the state. | want to see you
carry off some OF the laurels at our
next and first encampment'
Captain LeBron closed by thanking
the sergeants for the interest they
he'd taken in the company and the
prGsress the men have made under
their direction. Continuing, the toast
master said Now men if you will do
your part, there is no question but
what the citizens of Keokuk will do
their part in the building of an ar.

Sergeant Wiscombe was the next
speaker on the program. He replied
to the captains remarks thanking
him and in reply said that it was not

$500 FEE FOR AD-
VICE TO WE'D
SUIT BROUGHT BY ATTORNEY
TO COLLECT FROM WEALTHY
DEATHBED CEREMONY.

Chicago, Feb. ia fee of $500
for advising a client to marry a man
who lived only an hour after the
ceremony, is demanded by Attorney
Seth F. Crews in a suit brought yes
terday against Mrs. Sarah Smith,
widow of the late John R. Smith, a
wealthy mineowner, says the Trib-
une.
Smith died in September OF 1908
at St. Luke's hospital. Mrs. Smith,
then Miss Sarah Peterson, had been
engaged to the mine operator seven
or eight years. Attorney Crews de-
clares she came to him for advice as
to whether her marriage would be
binding if it was deathbed affair.
Client Falls Heir to $500, 900.
The attorney counseled her to go
ahead, and the marriage was per-
formed. BY the death of her hus-
band she fell heir to 100000.
In view of the magnitude of the
estate Clews claims that a fee of
$1,000, which he has already received,
is not sufficient, and that it should
be augmented
Following the death of Mr.. Smith
his widow inherited 100000" said
Attorney Crews 81 handled all the
legal questions in the case and ap-
peared as her counsel in the probate
court, where the will was approved.
''Mr Smith was wealthy mine
owner and had large real estate hold
ings. He had been engaged to Miss
Peterson for several years. Sudden
ly, in September, 1908, he was strick-
en- with pneumonia and was taken to
the hospital.
Advises Her to Marry Mineowner.
Miss Peterson then asked me
about the legality of the marriage.
Seeing that Smith was rational and
not delirious, I told her that it would
be perfectly legal. A Methodist min
lister was called in and the marriage
was performed. An hour later Smith
was dead"
