many Alliance with Wall st.

tributions to campaign funds.

DR.. Hyde was released today after

Don't Blame
Your Stomach
When Without ExertiOn or Cost You
Can Enjoy Meals and Cure
Dyspepsia
Trial Package of stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets Sent Free


lets Sent Free
Don't blame your stomach or your
luck when your meals declare war on
your system.
When the stomach won't do its work
II is because 1t cannot.
When foul smelling odors come from
your stomach, when the headaches
and the sourness of mouth every morn
ing make you hate your breakfast,
when dreams and nightmares assail
you. don't give up the fight.
This is the appeal of nature and 1t
should be heard.
Overeating, late suppers, poorly
chewed food, too rich pastries and up-
derdone cooking are some of the causes
of the stomach's i'll health.
When the stomach is busy 1t presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with its juices dissolves into
liquid form or pulp everything which
comes into it.
If such food be poisonous it affects
the juices, attacks the stomach, goes
into the blood and weakens the entire
system.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest a full meal easily without mate
rial assistance from the stomach. They
will restock the gastric fluid with all
the elements needed They build up
breath belching, stomach and bowel
trouble and quickly restore natural
conditions.
The method of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets is the method of nature.
They contain every requisite for the
stomach and digestion. After meal
one OF these little tablets when it en-
ters the stomach mingles with the
Juices, attacks the food and digests it,
ii removes the fermented and decayed
mass lying stagnant there, and eases
the stomach at once.
1t is wholly a question for you to
solve. Your druggist will furnish Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets Soc the box,
or send us your name and address and
we will send you a trial package free.

vEsTIGATION INTO THE BIG COT
TON FAILURE IN THAT CITY

The departure of Postoffice Inspector
Dilts for Decatur last night, where he will
pursue the government Investigations into
the Knight, Yancey & Co. failure, created
tht impression here that the government
investigators were nearing the end of
their work in connection with the case
Inspector Dilts and Inspector Keys have
been delving into the Knight Yancey COM
pany cotton failure for the past ten days,
and as yet not one word has escaped
their lips in regard to their findings. 1t is
stated that the government agents recog-
nize the extreme Importance of a careful
and panstaking investigation and that no
half-hearted work is being done. 1t Is
also said to be the policy of the postoffice
department to be reasonably sure of a
conviction before making arrests. These
precautions are said to account more for
the delay in developments than any other
feature of the case
In addition to the investigation of the
United. States postal officials, it is report
ed that Gov. b. b. Conner has been in
communication with the county authori-
ties at Decatur and thae the grand Jury
of that county may take a hand in the
