aexli'it. Nearly everyone will admit that ns a na
tion wo cat too much meat and too llttlo
Tcgotablea and 1ho grains.
For business men, oftlce nten nnd clerks,
and In fact everyone engaged in sedentary
or Indoor occupations, grains, milk and
vegetables nro much moro healthful.
Only men ongnged In a severe out doo
rrianunl lnbor can live- on a heavy meat diet
nnd continue In health.
As a general rule, meat onco a day is suf
ficient for all classes of men, women ana
children, and grains, fruit nnd vegetables
should constltuto the bulk of food eaten.
Hut many of the most nutritious foods nri
dlfllcult of dlgustlon and It is of no uso to
advlso brain workers to eat largely of
grains nnd vegctnblea where tho digestion is
too weak to assl.-nilato them properly.
It Is always bent to get tfio best results
from our food that some simple and harm
less digestive should bo taken nfter meals tt
assist the relaxed digestive organs, nnd sov
cial years' exporlenco hnvo proven Stunrt's
Dyspopsln Tablets to bo a very safe, plea-s
ant and cffectlvo dlgtstlvo nnd a remedy
which may bo tuken dally with the best
retmlts.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly ho
called a patent medicine, as they do not
act on tho bowels nor any particular organ,
but only on the food eaten. Thoy Mipply
what weak stomachs lack, pepsin dlataso
and by stimulating tho gastric glands In
creasn tho natural secretion of hydrochloris
acid.
Peoplo who make a dally prnctlvo of tak
ing ono or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal are suro to have perfect
digestion which means porfect health.
Thero is no danger of forming an Injur
ious habit as tho tablets contain absolutely
nothing but natural digestives; coealne. mor-
phlno and similar drugs hnvo no place In a
stomach medicine nnd Stunrt's Dyspopsln

In OiiiiiIiii,
NBW YOKK, March 20. When tho trlat
of James 11. Kellogg, Indicted for grand
larceny and conspiracy In connection with
tho E. S. Dean company, was resumed to
day beforo Recorder Ooff, Miss Emily Goebcl
was the first witness called. Miss Oocbel
wns much agitated. Miss Oocbel told of
Kellogg having said to her that ha was em
ployed by Mrs. E. S. Dean.
"I heard Kellogg say once," she asserted,
"that ho wns 'very much worried about tho
business and that he had been doing criminal
things, and If tho authorities learned of
them tho only country he could go to wns
Druzll, from whonce he could not bo ex
tradited." She told of going to Europe at Kellogg'3
solicitation, nnd returning in September,
1807. After her return from Europe, Miss
Joebcl said, speaking of a conversation bIip
had with Kellogg, "Wo quarreled. Ho told
mo ho was going to tho penitentiary Bure.
Ho said to mo: Tvo got that money and
Vvo got It planted good nnd plenty, and I'll
do tlmo beforo I'll glvo It up. I'll go to tho
penitentiary for a year and then I'll get out,
but I'll take Sara Keller with me.' "
In reply to questions Miss floebel said
that she lived with Kellogg ns his wife.
When nsked If nho was mnrrlcd, she said sho
did not know. Sho onco had n husband
named 3oobcl, but did not know whether or
not ho wns dead, nnd said there had been no
divorce. Sho testified Hint sho had been
married to James II. Drutnmoll, but was di
vorced in Omaha,
A typewritten paper wok produced nnd
Miss Qoebel recognized the elgnnturo as
hora. Sho said that when sho signed It, it
consisted of ono paragraph, merely being a
receipt for $500. As It now reads tho docu
ment states that she acknowledges the re
ceipt of $500 received from James H. Kel
logg, obtained by constantly annoying nnd
harassing him, and ns "blood money" nnd
contained an agreement not to annoy him
further. Miss Goebel maintained that theso
sentences wero written In nfter Bhe signed
tho receipt.

NEW YORK, March 20. Much excitement
attended tho early dealings on tho Stockt
exchange today. Tho occasion was the an
nouncement that the Metropolitan Street
railway had obtained control of tho Third
Avenue. This was appalling nows to many
speculators, who, counting upon an indefi
nite decline In Third Avenue stock, sold It
short with such a reckless disregard of the
symptoms for several days that tho floating
supply of tho stock was being diminished
and a corner being formed.
Tho nows that tho Metropolitan Street
railway had ncqulred this stock, and the im
proved status thus given tho property.
caused a wild sceno nt the Third Avcnuo post
at tho opening, which was "wide." Simul
taneous sales wero made all tho way from
90 to U0, compared with 85 at yesterday's
close and C6 early yesterday. Metropolitan
btroet railway sold from 164'4 to 107 In tho
first few minutes, compared with iCOli last
night. Prices for the two Btocks quickly ran
off, Third Avenue reacting several points
and tho feverish tono of the market caused
profit taking.
All of the New York City Blocks, which
havo been sold short by the bears on tho bo-
Ilef that tho franchise tax law would bear
heavily on thorn, soon reflected tho serious
state of mind of the shorts. Hrooklyn Tran
sit roso nearly 8 points and lumned from
C3i4 to 72 on o single sale a very unusual
variation oven for pnnlc conditions. Tho
other Now York stocks, Sugnr, People's Oas
and Tobacco reflected the same demoralized
stato of mind on tho part of tho shorts. In
tho loan crowd 2 per cent premium wns bid
tor tne uso of Third Avonuo stock on loans.
ihlrd Avcnuo later touched loou. nnd
Metropolitan 171&. Between tho perturba
tion of tho bears and-tho beaw ninnt.tnw.
intf by thoso long of tho stocks, tho fluctu
ations were violent nnd sentlmont so much
unsettled that tho general markot fell Into
neglect and becamo rather dull.

heroes nro known only to the reader of nb

warden of tho penitentiary has announced
that ho will begin receiving orders this week
for binding twine. Kansas uses about 7,000,

has about 200.000 pounds of twine on hand
land expects to havo 1.2u0.000 pounds for salo
during tho season. This Is enough to dis
turb tho market. While regular dealers nro
nsklng retnll merchants to pay them 1U&

they will sol) theirs direct to the farmers
at 10 cents per pound. The warden believes
that tho plant will turn out 3,500,000 pounds
of twlno next year. The plant now fur
