An Associated Press dispatch from
Chicago follows: "Two Italian chil
dren, identified fiom photographs as
Tomasso and Grace Vlviano, who
were kidnapped from St.- Louis
August 2, last, and who have been
sought sinco by the police of many
cities, were found early today wan
dering aimlessly on the .north side of.
the city by Detective Stephen Parodi,
ox mo, unicago Avenue police station.
The children when found were sit
ting on a curbstone at North Hal
stod and Roes streets. Both were
weeping, tho little girl, who is less
than four years old, sobbing bitter
ly, and Tomasso, her cousin, who is
seven years old, trying to comfort
her. Detective Parodi took tho chil
dren in his arms and asked them
where tfioy lived. Tomasso said that
he did not know. Remembering the
Viviano case, he asked Tomasso If
his name was Viviano. The boy nod
ded his head as if to confirm his
identity. The detective hurried the
children to the Hudson avenue sta
tion, and later they were taken to
the north side headquarters station
at Chicago avenue, and Police In
spector O'Brien took charge of tho
case. Photographs of the missing St.
Louis children wore procured from
the central detective bureau, and In
spector O'Brien was convinced on
comparing them with the homeless
foundlings that tho recovered chil
dren were the long-sought victims of
the St. Louis kidnapping, which had
taxed tho ingenuity of tho detectives
in many cities for may weeks. To
masso, tho older of the children, was
asked by the inspector and Captain
Kehm where he and Grace, his
cousin, had been since they were
taken from their home in St. Louis.
The chUd could give no intelligent
answer. He said he did not know
where he lived and could give no
account of his abandonment. At
the Chicago avenue police station it
was stated that the boy appeared to
bo in a dazed condition and tho little
girl was too young to give any com
prehensive statement concerning her
self. Inspector O'Brien notified the
St. Louis police tonight of the re
covery of the children and their par
ents in St. Louis also were notified,
and are expected to arrive here to
morrow morning to reclaim them.
Meanwhile detectives are searching
Italian sections of the city in an en
deavor to learn who abandoned tho
children, and whero they had been
ilnce their mysterious disappearance
from St. Louis last summer. The
police beliovo that the kidnappers
had tho children secreted in a se
cluded section of the city and turned
them loose when efforts to extort
ransom had failed. Captain J. M.
Schoppe and Sergeant Adraveno, of
the St. Louis, police department, who
know the Viviano children, arrived
here tonight and made positive the
identification of tho boy and girl
found today. The children were
taken to a hospital to await the ar
rival of relatives from St. Louis to
morrow morning. St. Louis, Mo.,
Oct. 15. Grace and Tomasso Vivia
no, cousins, who were found in Chi
cago today, were kidnapped from
their home here August 2. They
were last seen with Samuel Turissi,
and since then ho has been sought
by the police. The girl is three, and
the boy five years old. Pour hours
after the children disappeared a spe
cial delivery letter signed 'Mouth
Shut,' and written in Italian, was re
ceived at the Viviano home. The
letter demanded a ransom of $25,
000. The parents were overjoyed to
night when they learned their chil
dren were alive and made arrange
ments to leave for Chicago."

who had driven him to tho bank in

diately following tho robbery of the
bank, forcing the principal perpetra

Sheehan, who was the target for
many bullets from the fugitive ban

Melancholy and
Mental Depression
Also Known as Low Spirits and " ,,.
Blues" Are Almost InvarluMv
Caused by Indigestion and '
Stomach Derangement
Chronic melancholy is a symptom
frequently encountered in the vic
tims of dyspepsia- and indigestion
Defective blood nutrition or anae
mia appears to be the physical state
with which the great majority of
cases of melancholy and mental de
pression are connected, and to which
all modes of treatment are directed
Powerful and permanent and de
pressing moral and mental emotions
act as effectively in arresting healthy
digestion and alimentation as the
eating of injudicious food, or the use
of nourishment under circumstances
such as the respiration of impure
air, or indulgence in intemperate
tendencies, which render proper as
similation of food impossible.
But while depressing mental emo
tions may cause disturbed digestion,
on the other hand, dyspepsia may,
in turn, cause mental depression, so
that cause and effect may bo trans
posed. Melancholy or "the blues"
should not be regarded as a distinct
and independent affection, as it is
almost invariably traceable to, and
dependent upon, some disorder of the
digestive system.
The victims of this distressing con
dition present not only the usual
symptoms of indigestion or nervous
dyspepsia, but also a long train of
symptoms of a peculiarly melancholic
and morbid character, such as ex
treme increase of nerve-Sensibility,
palpitations, strange internal sensa
tions, which simulate many other
diseases, together with an exagger
ated uneasiness and anxiety riiefly
concerning tho health. They imag
ine they have all tho diseases known
to -Pathology, and are great pessi
mists, prone to look on the dark
side of life. They are easily an
noyed by small things, which if their
health and digestion, were good,
would never bother them; and they
feel constantly irritable, have dark
forebodings, and fear the approach
of some imaginary evil, impending
disaster or calamity.
If they experience indigestion
pains in the heart region, they think
it is heart disease: uneasiness in the
chest means consumption, while tho
various other fugitive aches and
pains distributed over vthe system
they imagine to be symptoms of some
fatal, organic disease.
Every one of these morbid symp
toms depend upon a disturbed state
of the digestion, and for tho removal
and cure of this condition, there is
no better remedy in existence than
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They
get right at the seat of the trouble,
cure the dyspepsia, and remove the
cause. Every particle of food in tho
stomach is thoroughly and properly
digested, with the result that the
blood, which owing to a long-continued
indigestion, mal-absorption,
mal-nutrition and mal-assimilation of
food, is in a thin, anaemic condition,
is rapidly built up, and improved in
quality this improvement progres
sing along with the increased power
of the stomach to properly digest
its food through tho aid-giving and
toning-up properties of these power
ful little digestive tablets; so that
the melancholic and depressive symp
toms disappear along with the dys
pepsia. Don't allow yourself to be over
come with "the blues," but secure a
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
once from your druggist for 50 cents,
and begin taking them; also send us
