EWING SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
Evidence Secured Indicating He kiIle,

Evidence Secured Indicating He Killed
His Wife in Des Moines.
Des Moines, Oct. 2S-That John
Ewing murdered his wife by smother
ing her with bed clothing or by forcing
her: to drink laudanum, and tried to
cover the crime with a seeming at
tempt upon his own life, is the belief OF
Hattie Ewing's mother, Mrs. Carter
Barstow, of Osceola, and other rela-
tives.
On the strength of the theory, Ewing
is under the constant watch of a police
man in his room at the Mercy hospi-
tai, where he was taken yesterday fol-
lowing the discovery of the tragedy in
removed from the hospital he will be
placed in cell at the city jail
A patrolman was sent to Ewing s
room this morning, following a long
conference between Coroner liver c.
Newlen and Acting Chief Of Police w.
d. Sims. Both the coroner and the
acting chief are probing into the cir
cumstances surrounding the tragedy
which resulted in the death of Mrs.
Ewing.
Sensa tional developm ents are ex-
pected at the coroner's inquest over the
body Of Mrs. Ewing, to be held at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. Coroner
Newlen has secured witnesses to APP
pear at the hearing who are said to
have told him that Ewing had threat
ened repeatedly to kill his wife.
Evidence that will be most damaging
to Ewing in the event that the coro-
ner's jury entertains a theory of muir
der, will be given by Mrs. Florence
Strait, housekeeper at the Rex hotel.

death chamber yesterday morning.

Hampton. Oct. 2S.-According to a
recent announcement, which purports
to come from reliable sources. this city
is likely to come into possession with
in a short time, If 1t will agree 10 al
easy condition, of a tract of land COM
prising about ten acres for public
park.
The gift is to be made by Mrs Helen
Harrim according to the story. and
the tract is located near Spring creek,
three fourthS of d mile north OF the
Great Western tracks, and will extend
west from the Bridge street road one
fourth mile to an extension OF Main
street that is to be made north 20 in
tersect the new playground.
1t is said that Mr.. Fl. y. Hartman
had IN mind this tract as a public
park for the city for some time before
his death. and the late move by his
widow is carrying out of that plan of
her husband, made many years ago.
Much of the Hartman fand has been
disposed of by the heirs within the
past few weeks, preparatory to going
to California, and the announceme of
this gift comes probably as a part of
the plan to close up as much of their
affairs here as possible at this time.
This beautiful spot has been a ia
vorite one for numerous picnic parties
during the summer months. and many
families and parties have enjoyed the
shade and grassy plats that abound for
a camping place when the vacation
season comes. 1t is just the right dis
lance from town-within walking dis
tance-and yet far enough out to give
one a taste of real country air, shade
and pleasant vistas.
The tract is we'll wooded with ma
tural oak and black walnut trees and
the creek that runs thru it will add the
finishing touch Of water so necessary
to a public park.
The only condition so far made
known is that Main street be opened
north to the park and it is said that the
Harrimans will donate the land neces-
sary for this street.

Food taken into. the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the con-
aition.s of the stomach, is not digested,
Is worse than no food at all. This is a
true statement as far as it goes and
4 great many dyspeptics go only this
far with their reasoning They argue
with themselves that because their
stomachs do not do the work given
them, they must be given less work:
In other words, they must be starved.
It would be just as sensible for BUSH
ness man who is unable to do all his
own work to cut down his business to
his own capacity as it is for man to
ktarye himself to relieve his stomach.
The sensible business man employs
help and goes forward with his bust
ness. Likewise the sensible dyspeptic
will employ help for his stomach and
give his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of al great portion of digestive ac-
ton. Their component parts are iden-
teal with those Of the digestive fluids
and secretions of the stomach and they
simply take up the grind and carry on
the work just the same as good,
strong, healthy stomach would do it.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their

How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak Stomachs. BY this
means the body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and the
man is properly nouriShed and equipped
to carry on his work and perform his

Catarrh is deep-seated blood dis.
