the track from there and pulled the

North Dakota had its first elephant
funeral this morning when Toby,
aged 23 years, owned by the Gentry
Bros, dog and pony shows, was killed
with a dose of poison, administered
because of an injury sustained in o
wreck about fourteen miles out of
Winnipeg Monday morning. -Four hun
bred and eighty grains Of cyanide
potassium, administered to the ele-
plant in an apple, brought on death
in Just twenty-one minutes and ac-
cording to DIR. G. Z. Carpenter, vet
erinarian of the shows, it is the short
est time on record in which an ele-
plant has been killed. The poison
acts directly on the heart and respira-
tory organs, p~aralyzing them, and
death occurred almost without q
struggle.
To remove the elephant from the
car in which he was killed it was
necessary to call into service the
Northern Pacific wrecking crew, as
the beast weighed six tons. Tusks
were removed and the carcass re-
moved to a point northwest OF the
city where 1t was buried.
Cars Telesc0ped
Back Of the killing here today Of
the big elephant there may be de-
velopments Of an exceedingly inter-
esting nature as q result of the wreck.
In the same wreck three ponies were
killed, as were several Of the big
horses, while v e a of others
were injured. Two cars com.
pletely %telescoped and others were
damaged considerably when the show
train ran into an engine running
light, It being a head-on collision on
. straight track and occurring about
$3.50 O'Clock in the morning.

the crowd below.

the crowd below.
All the coaxing Of the keepers failed
to make the ape come down. They
were afraid his new tailor-made suit
would be torn to pieces. Badly took
on his hat and examined it closely.
He liked the gold lettering on 1t. Then
he gave it an awful bang on the tree
limb, and the keepers expected to see
Its crown drop out. The large crowd
roared with delight. Horrors! Baldy
suddenly felt the desire to do n
of his giant swings on the tree limb.
Goodbye. coat" said Engelholm.
Goodbye, trousers" said SNYDER.
Badly heaved n way and then anoth-
er, kicked against the tree with his
new shoes, and did such fantastic
stunts that the clothes were strained
to the utmost. He unwittingly let one
leg hang down. Snyder grabbed it.
and then Badly came down with the
tug. He was brushed off, his suit was
examined to see if it had been torn,
and he was led around to other cages.
He was ctptured none too soon, for
he was about to begin disrobing.

CAUSES 05 PER CENT
OF DISEASES
Concerning Stomach Troubles
and How 70 Remedy Them.

Do not neglect Indigestion which
leads to all sorts of ills and compli-
cations An eminent doctor once said
that ninety-five per cent of all the
ills of the human body have their
own origin in a disordered stomach.
A physician who made a speciality
of stomach troubles particularly dys-
pepsia, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets leads us to believe in
them to be the greatest remedy known
for the relief of acute indigestion
and chronic dyspepsia. Their ingred-
tents are soothing and healing to the
inflamed membranes of the stomach.
They are rich in pepsin. one of the
greatest digestive aids known to med
icine. The relief they afford is almost
immediate. Their use with persistency
and regularity for short time brings
about a cessation of the pains caused
by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will in
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
and promote nutrition. AS evidence
of our sincere faith in Kexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets, we ask you to try
them at our risk If they do not give
you entire satisfaction. we will re-
