Kert Hi Temrer.-There was an
elderly Indian colonel whose boast 1t
was that he had very tranquil dispo-
sition that nothing could ruffie. He
took up golf, says the San Francisco
Argonaut, and for long time his
friends failed to notice any disturb
ance of the colonel's outward calm; but
one day when playing foursome he
got into a notorious devils punch
bowl" bunker and spent terrible fif-
teen minutes trying first to find the
ball and then to play 1t out.
He tried every club in vain, and at
last. glaring like demon, ne smash

standing this fact many otherwise sem

comes to the matter of buying life in

Is a fact that the managers, general

reason that they cannot always be fair

JUMPS FROM ROOF.
Man Pursued by Police Commits Sui

Salt Lake, Feb. 9.-Coming from the
mock tragedy of a moving picture
show, a crowd on Third South street
was Mortified by real tragedy last
night A large object HURTING from
the sky. fell upon the sidewalk and
lay at the feet of the pleasure seek
ers. the crushed and bleeding body of
a man.
The victim is believed to be George
Johnston of Denver. He had been
proving about the alleys in the bus
mess section and two policemen were
looking for him as suspicious char
acter.
In his flight he knocked down a
night Waterman and finally climbed a
fire escape to the roof of the Luna
theater. The officers lost the trail and
were still looking for the fugitive when
screams in front of the building ex-
planned his disappearance. Johnston
had evidently reached the roof and
jumped to the sidewalk three stories
below. He died on the way to a hos
pital.
Letters on hisoperson were address,
ed to George Johnston, general de-
livery, Denver, Colo" Most of them

OFFICIAL SILENCE.
Nothing Doing in the Japan-Manchur
ian Railway Project.

Toxic. Tuesday. January 1S.-The
most rigorous official silence followed
the receipt of the note suggesting the
naturalization of the Manchurian rail-
ways presented by the United States
government to Japan. While the high
err officials were absolutely close
mouthed, the subject was discussed IN
all it's phases by the press and by the
public. AS a whole the newspapers
were conservative. One or two of those
which are known as Chauvinists and
Jingoes gave vent to sarcasm and I'M
kind remarks about the motives OF the
United States, but these were but scat
tering and the more conservative news
papers, indeed those representing pub
lie sentiment, were remarkably mod
crate.
After a week of discussion. the idea
gained ground that there was in reality
no Interior motive and that the Ameri-
can government, always friendly TO
Japan. was simply trying to clear up a
situation which it Is admitted is full OF
difficulties. The objection, however,
seemed to be insuperable.
One of the principal of these and one
that it took the newspapers some time
to discover, is that a section of the
South Manchurian railway runs
through Japanese leased territory and
that it is not to be supposed that Japan
would permit of the internat1onal1za-
ton of a railroad running through her
own leased property. The refusal by
Russia was taken for granted and 1t
was announced long before the Jap
anese answer was sent in that Russia
would under no circumstances count
enance the passing from her control OF
the Chinese Eastern railway or the
connection via Manchuria of the two
portions Of the Russian lower country.

COIN WAS A "RESTRIKE" .
New York Mans Visions of a Fortune
Took Wings.

New York Feb. 9.-Having read a
newspaper account of a silver half dol
lar of the confederate states, said to
be worth $4,000, as the only metal coin
of the confederacy now in existence, S.
l. Heller, a New York business man,
went rummaging through an old bureau
in his home and brought out a dupli-
cate. The coin, he recollected. had been
given him many years ago by an old
soldier for whom he had done some
trifiing service.
Mr.. Heller took the coin to a dealer,
who offered him $50 for it,
NO" said Mr.. Heller. ''if it is worth
$50 it must be worth more
His dream of sudden wealth was
rudely shattered. however, when he
submitted his silver piece to the ex-
perts of the Numismatic club. They told
him that the coin was undoubtedly a
reproduction or "reStrike.''

CREATING Worse
Than Starvation
Seven Deaths Arise From This Cause
To One of Lack of Food.
A Trial Package of Stewards Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

An English medical observer claims
that for one death to starvation there
are seven from over eating.
His investigation is appalling and
leads one to believe that among the
Anglo-Saxon race over-eating is a ma
tional crime.
This investigation proves over-eating
to be the cause in ten cases out of
twelve of dyspepsia, Indigestion and
stomach trouble.
These diseases bring on decay. and
decline of the other organs and death
ensues because of an inability of the
system to furnish proper nourishment
to the dying and afflicted parts.
When one over-eatS. one exhauStS
the gastric fluids, throws undigested
food into the intestines where it Gre
ates poison and germ life and is finally
absorbed in a rutrid state or thrown
from the system in a decaying form.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will over
come the i'll effects of gluttony and ir-
regular eating. They will digest an
leave the stomach until everything has
been digested.
A single one-grain ingredient of
these tablets will digest 5000 grains of
food and in this proportion is seen how
even gluttony can be overcome or at
least its most harmful effects removed.
Make up your mind to try Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take
q tablet after each meal and upon re-
them in stock; price SOC. If you have a
