FtsNED UP SOLDIER COAT.
Belonged 10 !. s. Kisksdden, of Fish. srs island and Had Been Weighted With a Stone,

1 While fishing in the willimantic river Sunday morning, party of men brought up a soldiers coat, which was weighed down with a heavy stone. The coat was that of a, gunnSr in the U. s. army, and contained card with
 .a1e name of Joseph F. KiskaddeTh of Fort Wright, Fishers Island, onvit. Diligent search failed to show any other clues to the owner or his be- longings. The matter was reported to the police station immediately. r. Several Of the soldiers from Fort Wright have been in town the past few days, and they stated they were on a ten days furlough. Whether the owner of the coat discarded it with h. intention of permanently quitting
 Uncle Sam's forces or not is a matter of conjecture, but thar is the belief of the officials, in view of the fact that the coat was weighted down. and fno other traces of the owner were found.

 Just make up your mind to help nature help herself. Give your body chance to make good. Heal the raw edges of your stomach and give your blood the tools to make diges- tive fluids with.
 There is only one way to make the body well - give it the chance to make itself well. Harmful and strong medicines handicap the system Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets go into the stomach just like food. They are dis weakened juices of the digestive ap- paratus until the digestion Is made normal.
 Tkere is nothing mysterious or magical about them. Science has proved that certain ingredients make up the digestive juices. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are these concen- trated ingredients-that is all there is to it. One grain of a certain ;n- sre1ient contained in Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will digest 3,00O grains of food. This illustrates how you aid nature to restore her worn-out ma terials. When a stomach which is filled with food receives a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet, it is more able to digest the food than it would be with out l., The work is not so hard nor | the task so long.

thus far arrived have had what
would be accepted as legal tender
by the steamship companies. The
assistant treasurer at New York
has taken checks, transportation
orders. and personal notes OF
these passengers, and sent them
all to Treasurer Burke to collect.
Mr.. Burke might have called
for help and been given addition
Al clerks to help him out, but that
is not his way of dealing with an
emergency. Instead he moved
from his sumptuously furnished
office down into the general work

stationed a stenographer at his
elbow, and personally took COM

treasury building is about the
