Their fame and popularity are now world-wide and they are relieving the sufferers of every land. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stomachs of a great portion of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions

of the stomach and they simply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as a good, strong, healthy stomach would do it. On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are perfectly natural in their acTHE LATE JOHX BULL. MONGOSA.

He was a picturesque old fellow, and had he not been so careless of his appearance would have been always a magnillcent specimen of the Indian race. He put in mos-t of his time in making line bows and arrows, and he was able to sell them for nice sums. When Governor Matthews was in Peru at one of the street fairs he presented the Governor with a set, and the gift brought forth a special letter of thanks later.

They themselves digest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment contained in what is eaten and carry out Nature's plans for the sustenance and maintenance of the body. How much more sensible is this method than that employed by many sufferers from weak stomachs. By this means body and brain get all the good, nutritious food they need and the man is properly nourished and equipped to carry on his work and perform his duties. He could not possibly be in proper working condition by starving himself or employing some new fangled, insufficient food that does not contain enough nutriment for a-year-old baby.

EXPECT NO AGREEMENT Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY. Ind.. Feb. 2$. Window glass cutters and flatterners here deny the report sent from Fairmount that a meeting of the cutters was to be held here to-day. No meeting was held that they know of and they also deny that it is the intention to break away from L. A. 300. A meeting of the cutters was held here Friday night at which all the cutters of the city were in attendance. This meeting was for the purpose of securing an agreement from the Idle cutters tnat they would not take the places of L. A. 30u employed in the American factories, who cut after the machines. In case they were discharged for refusing to pay the 25 per cent, assessment ordered by President Simon Burns. Glass workers say that the Muncie meeting was barren of results and that the Cleveland meeting called for March 26 is too near the end of the season s blast to accomplish any good, and besides, the national ofheers will not sanction an amalgation and there is little or no prospect of one.

erly fed and this applies to the brain as well as the body. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by relieving the stomach of its work, enable it to recuperate and regain its normal health and strength. Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she repairs any other injured tissue of the body or heals and knits a broken bone, which is of course not used during the process of repair. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box. They are so well known and their popularity is so great that a druggist would as soon think of being out of alcohol or quinine. In fact, physicians are prescribing them all over the land and if your own doctor is real honest with you, he will tell you frankly that there is nothing on earth so good for dyspepsia as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

Last night a play was given by the Kappa Alpha Th- t i Sorority at the chapter house, with about fifty guests in the audience. The selection was "A Fatal Message,' and boys' coats, ties, collars and language were used effectively, and there were beautiful moustaches, which, however, seemed to realize the peculiarity of their appearance and seemed to be trying to escape from the situation. The cast was as follows: Mr. Thaddeus Perkins, Miss Ruth Ritter; Mrs. Perkins. Miss Jessica Manlove; Miss Andrews, Miss Margaret Landrum; Mr. Edward Bradley, Miss Vera McCabe; Mrs. Bradley, Miss Beth Bushnell; Mr. Robert Yeardsley, Miss Ruby Farrls; Mr. Jack Barlow.
