"J. W. Myers, 76 years, 406 North Six
tccnth street."
This Item appeared In tho death record of
tbo Omaha papers yesterday, nnd back of It
Is a story so strongo In somc respects thnt
It nppcars more llko rotnanco thun truth.
Mr. Myers was a resident of Iown, but
had visited Omaha frequently In the Inst ten
years. He was qulto 111 when he enmc to the
city on ono of his periodical trips last
Wednesday, and sought a place of shelter nt
ncc. A number of hotols refused to re
ceive him, becnusc he had tho appearance of
one ndllctcd with smnllpox. Mr. Myers had
often stopped at a prlvato boarding houso
kept by Mrs. Kathorlno A. Cutshall, nnd ho
found her present addrtss to be at 406 North
Sixteenth street. He nppllcd there for ac
commodatlons, and Mrs. Cutshall told him
her rooms wero nil occupied, but ho wns so
persistent thnt she finally agreed to allow
him to uso n couch for n day or two, until
ho could find another place.
Thursday morning ho beenmo very 111 nnd
a physician wns cnllcd, who said that his
condition was such that Myers might die.
The sick man called Mrs. Cutshall to his
side, and placed a brown paper package In
her hands, saying: "Keep this for me until
I get well; nnd If I never get well, keep It
always." From that tlmo on Myers became
steadily worse, and died at 1 o'clock Friday
morning. An undertnkcr wns sent for am
ho removed the body In the quiet of early
morning.
I'o rt ii lie I l.nlil Ax I ill-.
Mrs. Cutshall laid tho packuge carelessly
aside, thinking nothing of It, ns the soiled
rough appearance Indicated that It con
talncd nothing more valuable than a bunch
of letters or somo memento of bygone days
In tho meantime Mr. Myers' brother, living
at Lcmars, la., was notified of tbo death
though the brothers had been estranged
twenty years or more, and had not spoken
In that time, ho came to Omaha and nr
ranged for the shipment of tho body to
Iowa.
The strangeness of tho sudden death
somewhat disturbed .Mrs, Cutshall, and
kopt In her mind until sho decided to open
tho brown packet. Sho tore off tho wrap
ping nnd beforo her astonished cye3 were
100 crisp $10 bills, a total of $1,000. When
sho rcqovered from her surprise she pon
dored long. It did not seem right to her
that sho should retnln tho money nnd she
rcBolved not to do so. When tho brother
called Mrs. Cutshall told tho story nnd gave
him tho money.
In addition to the money Mr. Myers gnv
Mrs. Cutshall ho had $100 and small chance
111 his pockets. He owns much valuable
property, somo of which Is In Pierre, S. D.
While In the city tho brother wns extremely
taciturn. lie mndo a fow Inquiries concern
ing tho death, vouchsafed no explanation
of their past relations and gavo no hint nf
his future Intentions regarding the vnluablo
property.

(ho Treatment of Stomach
Trouble.
Tho remedy Is not heralded us a wouder
ful discovery nor yot a secret patent medi
cine, neither Is It claimed to euro anything
axcopt dyspepsia, Indlgostlon and stomach
troubles with which nlno out ot tou suffer.
Tho remedy Is In tho form of ploasant
tasting tablots or lozengos, containing veg
etable and fruit essences, puro asoptlc pep
sin (government test), golden senl and dins
taso. Tho tablets aro sold by druggists
under tho naino ot Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lots. Many interesting experiments to test
tbo dlgcstlvo power ot Stuart's Tablets show
that ono grain of tbo uctlvo prlnclplo con
talned In thorn Is sufficient to thoroughly
digest 3,000 grains of raw meat, eggs and
other wholesomo food.
Stuart's Tamets iio not net upon
tho bowols llko after dlnnor pills and
cheap cathartics, which simply Irritate and
Inflame tho Intestines without having any
effect whatover in digesting food or curing
Indigestion.
It tho stomach can be rested and assisted
la the work of digestion It will very soon
recover Its normal vigor, as no organ Is so
much abused and overworked as tho atom
ach.
This Is the secret, If thero Is any secret,
of tho remarkable success of Stuart's Dys
pepsla Tablets, a remedy practically un
known a few years ago and now tho most
widely known ot any treatment tor atom
ach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon Its merits as a dlgestivo puro and
slmplo because thero can bo no stomach
troublo It tho food Is promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablots act entirely on
the food eaten, digesting It completely, so
that It can be assimilated Into blood, norvo
and tissue Thoy euro dyspepsia, wator
brash, sour stomach, gas and bloating after
meals, bacause thoy furnish tho digestive
power which weak stomachs lack and unless
that lack Is supplied it is useless to attempt
to euro by the uso of "tonics", "pills" and
cathartics which have absolutely no diges
tive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablots can be found
at all drug stores and the regular uso ot
one or two of them after meals, will dem
onstrate tbolr merit better than any other
argument.

tho entire session' of today tho senate had
under consideration the naval appropria
tion bill. Practically, tho bill was com
plotod when It was laid aside for tho day,

bo placed on Its passage Mr. Ilutler pro-
clpltated a discussion on tho armor plate
question, In ordor to enable somo others

some forceful comments upon tho houso in
not taking action upon a bill providing n
pension for a Mexlcnn war veteran who had
resided In South Carolina during the civil

i
F you could buy a medicine that cures four separate and distinct
complaints, is it nol belter as a matter of convenience as well
as from a financial standpoint that you try
Dr. Caldwell'
Syrup Pepsin?
It cures Constipation, Indigestion, Sick Headache or Stomach
Troubles, and if you have a bottle on the shelf you will be tared
the inconvenience of having four different kinds of medicine for
the four different complaints so common in a household where
there are several people. So many things are said today, tht
truth of which we have no proof, that instead of idle words or long circulars of praise, we simply state that
we positively guarantee Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin to cure either of the four complaints mentioned. If,
after taking two-thirds of a bottle, it should fail in this, your druggist is instructed to refund yi the purchase
price, which we consider the greatest evidence of sincerity.
Sincerely yours,
am PEPSIN SYRUP COMPANY.
