END STOMACH TROUBLE NOW,
Dyspepsia, Gas, SOurnesS or Indi-
gestiOn Go in Five Minutes.

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of Indi-
gestlon or some form of Stomach trou-
Bile, why don't you keep some Dia-
pepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and overcome a
sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula plainly printed on these
50-cent cases of Papes Diapepsin
then you will readily see why it makes
Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn
and other distress go in five minutes
and relieves at once such miseries as
Belching of Cas- Fluctuations of sour
undigested food. Nausea, Headaches,
Dizziness. Constipation and other
Stomach disorders
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia
or an out-of-order stomach with the
common everyday cures advertised
minds that they have something else
wrong, or believe theirs is a case of
Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the
Stomach or Cancer.
This. no doubt is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat does
not digest; instead, 1t ferments and
sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach
poison, which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intestines, and, besides, poi
son the breath with nauseous doors.
A hearty appetite. with thorough di-
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you decide
to try Pape's Diapepsin

RESCUED BY 7. R.
Nine Year-Old Boy Was Lost in Big
New York.

New York. Feb. 25.-''What's the
trouble, SOM" asked a thick set man
with glasses and strong white teeth
of a youngster he found crying against
the iron fence that surrounded Gram
mercy park.
I'm lost" shifted the lad
Better turn him in to Flannelly,
hadn't we?" suggested the man to his
companion. 81 think it's Flannelly
now at the Twenty-second street sta
ton"
The small boy continued to sniff1e,
but he went along docilely. At the
station house desk Lieutenant Flannel
ly looked up from his blotter in
amazement as he saw standing before
him Theodore Roosevelt. formerly his
chief, and Col. Francis Vinton Greene,
who later succeeded him. As for the
boy, he was SO amazed and delighted
to learn what distinguished citizen had
rescued him that he almost forgot his
name. He is Albert Guenet, 9 years
old, of Monongahela, Pa. He came
with his parents, who will sail tomor-
row for Belgium on the Lapland. He
strayed from his hotel this morning
and could not find his way back.

CUPID HAS TROUBLE.
Youthful Bridal Couple Arrested
After an E1opement.

Kansas City, Feb. 25.-Love may
laugh at locksmiths, but had it not
been for threatened habeas corpus
proceedings and wakeful justice of
the peace last night in the case of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ray L. Courier, newly
wedS,'' it would have had little mean
ing echoing dolefully through the cor
ridors of the city Jail. But the pro-
ceedings were threatened and the
justice was awake, and therefore Love
was allowed to engage in its knocking
lifts, first having put up a $500 cash
bond.
Courier is the son of Grant Cour-
ter of Philadelphia, superintendent of
the shop work of the Armour-Swift-
Burlington bridge. now under course
of construction. The CourterS, father
and son, live in boarding house at
500 East Ninth street, and have resi-
dence in Kansas City since May. The
name Courier seems admirably adopt
ed to Ray, now % years old. Soon
after he arrived here he wooed and
won the affections of pretty Miss Ruth
HoStetter, foster daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. v. Hostetter, 1907 Harrison
street. Miss Hostetter was book
keeper for the United Factories COM
pany. She was either Is years old
or she was not The Hostetters al
ways claimed she wasn't. They said
she was not more than Is. Also they
were very fond of Ruth and disliked
the idea of giving her up to anyone.
The pair eIoped Tuesday, however.
and were married quietly by Judge
John 7. Sims in Kansas City, Kan,
young Courier obtaining the license
by declaring the girl to be Is years
old. The Hostetters learned Thursday
of the step taken by their foster
daughter and Mrs. Hostetter went to
Kansas City, Kan, where she swore
out a warrant for Courier charging
him with perjury with regard to
Ruth's age.
The Kansas City. Mo, police were
notified last night of the warrant and
detectives were sent to the Courier
home and found it to be sheltering
one more. The elder Courier, espec-
tally, was there, according to the de-
tectiveS' report
eff you put my son in jail, I will have
him habeased out at once" he is quo
ted as having threatened. 'All in the
world he is guilty of is getting married
and, blame me, I'm guilty of that

tice warrant and have him arraigned at
once and let out on bond
The warrant was forthcoming. Chas.
H Clarke. justice of the peace, ar

bond at $500 which the father furnish

but a few moments when Ray was at
the justice court and his wife was talk
ing the matter over with Inspector Ed
ward P. Boyle at police headquarters.
They returned home together.
Il am just sure it will come out right
in the end" the bride said. "I was
told was Is years old and could do
as I pleased.
You see L don't know much about
my age. My real name is Haines.
was taken out of the St.-Louis Orphans
Home when I was about years old
by Mr.. and Mrs. Hostetter, who adopted
me.
Mrs Hostetter often told me she
would prosecute me If got married,
but thought it would be all right if
ran away and didn't ask her. Tues
took my clothes along and Ray and I
went to Kansas City, Kan, and got
married"
Mrs. Mary Hostetter the foster moth
er, said: Ruth isn't even 10 yet, and
as I know I didn't give my consent,
he must have misrepresented either her
age or my opposition to the match"
Judge John T. Sims, probate Judge,
who married the couple, searched his
records and found the girls age as 1S.
Courier boarded at the Hostetter
home until married, and then went to
the East Ninth street address. Mrs.
Hostetter did not know until last night
where the couple was stopping. Mrs
Hostetter says she adopted Ruth 10
years ago when the girl was 8 years
old.
Ruth is entirely too young to be
married" she said yesterday, "and af-
ter raising a girl you don't want her
carried away by the first fellow that
comes along"

WORE A HAREM SKIRT.
Young Woman Blocked Traffic on the
Brooklyn Bridge.

New York, Feb. 25.-Brooklyn bridge
has broken its record as a scene of
dare devil exploits. A suicide or pro-
fessional bridge jumper never thrilled
the throng of bridge promenaders more
than did the appearance of a dashing
young blonde on the great thorough
fare.
She was attired in the new harem
skirt-the first of the millions of New
York women publicly to venture the
new affection of mems clothes, which
has stirred continental cities to riot.
1t nearly came to that on the bridge.
Pedestrian traffic was blocked by the
crowds which collected in her wake
and followed her bold lead right into
Newspaper row, Postoffice square and
down Broadway, finally vanishing into
the underground station of the Hud-
son tubes. The boldest of newspaper
reporters fell down. on the story, all
baking at the suggestion that some
inquire the heroine's name.
There were few who even observed
the detail that she was a blonde, that
her eyes were blue and that she wore
black fur coat. The focus of at
tention was on the split skirt reaching
little below the knees, disclosing black
ploomers-like contrivances tightly
gathered up about the ankles.

BRAND IS DISGUISED.
The French Premier Is Anxious to
Retire From Office.

| Paris, Feb. 25.-Premier BRAND
for the first time in his brilliant career
as the controlling influence in the
/ government of France, finds himself
on shifting sands.
! 1t is quite probable the resignation
of the cabinet will be presented to
/ President Fallieres on Monday. If
| this course is not adopted it will more
| likely be because of the urgency of
personal friends and the fact that no
than because of any desire on the part
| of the premier to continue the fight
against the radical socialists and anti
clericals
The premier's friends described him
today as sick of it all, worn out ply
sically and weary in spirit over the
chickering's and petty distractions"
Only a broad sense of duty will hold
| him if he remains at his post.
But beyond the matter of his per-
sonal inclinations there is the unques-
| toned weakening of the premier
| power and of confidence in his minis
| try. The leader, who has before sur
ViVed grave crises and come out with
triumphant vote of the chamber of
| deputies last night escaped censure
| of the government by a bare majority
| of 16 votes.
The socialists who have never f1r-
given the premier for modifying the
extreme ecclesiastical views which he
championed when he first entered
public life, have attacked him per-
siStently and at last nights session all
but forced his immediate retirement.
Recently BRAND was assailed joint
| " by the clericals and socialists. Last
night he was charged with clericalism.
The discussion arose through inter-
pellations blaming the government for
not having applied the laws against
religious bodies with proper severity.
The onslaught was led by the radical
| socialists
Meunier.
Following the adjournment of the
chamber the cabinet met at the pre-
mier'S office and considered the situa-
ton. Foreign Minister Pichon and
Minister of Commerce Dupuy were for
resigning at once.
All the other ministers were oppos-
ed to an immediate retirement unless
further developments should make
| this move imperative.
Brands personal wish was to be
free from the obligations of his Of
fee but his responsibility to the parlia-
mentary groups supporting him and
the country persuaded him to remain
for the present. After a discussion
that continued for six hours an ad-
journment was taken until 9 o'clock
this morning. When they reconvened
today the minister in a conference of
one hour decided to postpone the
question of their designations until
after the obsequies of General Brun,
the late minister Of war on Monday.
The cabinet will meet at 1870 o'clock
Monday afternoon.

BAD WEEK FOR STOCKS.
Railroad Rate Decisions Had a De-
pressing Effect on Business.

New York, Feb. 25.-Prices on the
stock exchange, which had been main
tanned on a fairly even level for a fort
night, were upset violently by the de-
cision of the interstate commerce
commission against the railroads in
the freight rate cases, which was the
event of overshadowing Importance of
the week in Wall street. The decision
was contrary to expectations of traders
and for a time at least bligkted the
growing hopes of better things, so
that the market was demoralized at
the opening yesterday. The partial
recovery which followed, however,
brought about a better feeling and
careful observers were inclined to the
belief that no protracted i'll effects
would be felt.
Aside from the freight rate decision
the week was an uneventful one. The
holiday on Wednesday and knowledge
that the decision was close at hand
served to restrict operations, although
a good undertone was shown. Heavy
transactions in Gould stocks and
bonds was the prominent feature and
presumably was the result of absorp-
ton of those securities by interests
which are bent on obtaining control
of the properties

disturbed since the fistic events of

the suggestion that there should be
