INQUEST COMPLETED
investigation Into Circumstances Of
Death Of Cyrus Motif

Attorney General John G.. Sargent
left today after the completion Of the
inquest over the death of Cyrus Moi
fit who was killed in a fight at
dance in Manchester the night of Fri
day, March II.
The inquest was before County
Judge G. B. Kent and was conducted
by States Attorney Meagher under
the advice and direction of the at
torney general. An inquest In a case
of this kind is not public.
A score or more of witnesses from
the section where the crime was COM
mitted which is near the line between
Manchester and Sandgate, were pres
ent.
Some of the witnesses talked about
the case outside the inquest and from
what they said it would appear that
the Dupluis brothers came over to the
dance from Rupert with the avowed
intention of getting into a row and
, cleaning out the Beartown crowd.
There is a good deal of criticism
of the Arlington doctor who attended
Motif Saturday but did not report
the seriousness of the case to the au-
thorities until Monday, thus giving
the Dupluis brothers time to get out
of the state.

ENDS STOMACH TROUBLE
Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Gas or Indiges
ton Go Five Minutes Later

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of Indi
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin 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 af-
ter.
Tell your pharmacist to let you
read the formula, plainly printed on
these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapep-
sin, then r"g 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 Gas,
Fluctuations of sour, undigested food,
Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness, Con-
stipation and other Stomach disord.
ers.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out-of-order stomach
with the common, everyday cures ad-
vertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong, or believe theirs is
case of Nervousness, Gastrltis, Ca
tarrh of the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead, it ferments
and sours, turns to acid, Gas and
Stomach poison, which putrefy in the
digestive tract and intestines, and,
besides, poison the breath with nause-
Gus orders.
A hearty appetite, with thorough
digestion, and without the slightest
discomfort or misery of the Stomach,
is waiting for you as soon as you de
eide to try pape's Diapepsin.

the niece have any knowledge that
her aged aunt was still in the land of

to assist in the observance OF her
ninetieth anniversary and the Ben

Globe sent to that paper a portrait
and sketch of the nonogenarian. Two

Grover Cleveland assumed the presi-

Gratis has been invading Washington
for several days in anticipation of or
ganization of the new Democratic
House, next week, when 500 Republi-
can employees who draw salaries ag-
gregating three quarters of a million
dollars annually, will be turned out
upon the world.
Washington boarding houses not
iced early last week that business
was increasing and all of them are
making great preparations for the
horde Of Democratic officeseekers
who are expected here before the eau

the great rush of Democrats for
the jobs under the control of the
House of Representatives. 81 live

more than hundred of my constitu

full that most OF these fellows wont

them are coming though not on my

easy job with good pay"
There are 267 Democrats in thu
