DEATH BY INDIGESTION.
Lonar Tralk of ratal Ilia la the
- . Direct Hcsaltaf t adlaeated Food.
Undigested .'food, by fermenting, forms a
potsen'-ta thf stomach and this is absorbed
in thf blood. If this goes on very long, and
your heart, happens to be weak, you'll be
foup.4 gome, mornjng. dead In bed, or you
may fall back down the stairs about an
hour grid a half after dinner, and the doc
tor wlU call U heart disease. . Yes, that, may
be ihs result, but not the cause. T,he cause
: la Indigestion. Indigestion Is a simple, com
mon word, but it has a terrible import.
And so you may get apoplexy and die sud
denly while you'rs standing.
If you have a weak liver, the poison of
undigested food will attack It and you will
get Jaundice. It you have weak kidneys
you ,wlll get. Bright a Disease or diabetes,
from which there la no rescue for any man.
It was a learned physician who said that
the progress of a race depended upon the
stomachs of Its members.
And you havs at soma time In your life
eaten a heavy meal, or eaten in a hurry,
and felt that "lump of lead" Immediately
afterward. That lump of lead is a hard ball
of undigested food. The atomach can't dl
gst it, and finds It hard to throw It out.
And so it sours, and It makes you sour and
everybody sour who talks with you. It
gives yoa a bad breath and Is building for
ywu the road to dyspepsia and death, unless
you stop It. .
Btop It with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Junt think, these little tablets are every bit
as powerful as the gastrio Juice Irf your
stomach. One grain will digest 1,000 grains
of food. Isn't this wonderful? And it is
true. Just try it, and- prove It.
Jf you havs any brash, gsa on the to
iiaoh, fermentation, burning, bloaty feeling
Indigestion, dyspepsia or heartburn, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will make it disappear
before It cad do any harm to your heart or
other organs.
They will Invigorate the stomach, lelievs
the stomach of two-thirds of its work and
give it a chance to rest.' They will increase
the flow of gastrio Juice, and If you will
ever "live" In your lifetime. It will be after
you have satea a good, hearty meal, and
taken one of these little tablets Immediately
afterward. You'll Just feel hue.
Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
our next meal today and you will use them
rver afterward. You will be xheerfultvlg

Toast of the Town"
one hs to look again at the announcement
of the bill to make aure that Clyde Fitch
wrote It. It 1 like him In only one regard;
the act beer little if any relation to one
another. Each la complete and perfect in
detail, and each might be lined aa a play
by Itself, or be et Into another play with
out much dlturbance to either. In one re
gard, at least, Mr. Fitch 1 the atage man
ager' delight. If it become necessary to
, n.,ll.nlBnM fnr unv roBiiin an I
ruiiririi . i..i.iiniiv.. , ...... .
act or a scene may be omitted anywhere
and the continuity of the play I in nowise
disturbed. In this piece, though. Mr. Fitch
open with a cliurniing comedy act. and Im
mediately proceed to tragedy of the most
sincere tvpe. each of hi successive acta
differing from the other, each plunging the
heroine a little deeper into the abyss, and
not one Df them redeeming the promise
made In the first. Betty Singleton, queen of
the London stage and "toast of the town.
loves a duke and weds him. He drinks and
they quarrel; she leaves .hi home and he
seeks her out and begs her to return. She
is Jealous of another woman and fondly de
termines to sacrifice herself that her hus
band may be free and wed the other
woman. To do this, she professes to lovs
a man who ha long pursued her, and her
husband believes her. Betty's cup 1 em
bittered by the poison poured into It by the
selfishness of a girl she befriended when
at the theater. The end la easy to guess.
Miss Allen lavish on the role of Betty
the wealth of her talent for audi roles.
It I quite within her scope, the character
being that of. a gentle, loving woman wfTo
wants to cling to the object of her affec
tions and who cheerfully give over her
own for his happiness. She la misguided
by her own affection and wrecks her life
because she has not the courage to face
an. apparent evil and not the confidence to
trust her husband. In a measure It is
Hermlone and Perdlta combined, but at
the. best It la not a satisfying part. It
docs afford much opportunity for varying
moods In which Miss Allen excels, and
allows her to use all her little tricks of
vocal and facial expression and to dress
herself charmingly In the. gowns of a
century and more agone. But Betty is not
a heroic figure In any sense, and while she
has the sympathy of the audience It !'
for her, sufferings, and 'does not excuse her
apparent weakness. '
One fancies one sees in the first act,
and especially In the trick! speech, when
Miss Allen comes before the curtain and
addresses an imaginary audience, some
thing prophetic of her approaching fare
well -to the stage. It 1a known that she
ha been married since the season began
and It has been whispered that she In
tend to give over the glory of the mimic
world for that of the real at the close
of the present season. -It truth there be
in this, then the speech she has In the
person ot potty ' .Singleton , Is .. most gpt
and appropriate, and Its sincerity is surely
appreciated by a host of warm friends
who will follow Miss Alien Into her home
Ufa with only warm wishes for her well
being and the fondest hope that she real
ises mors of ths real Joys of living than
fell to the lot of poor Betty. ,.
Isable Irving; Is sharing with ths star
the honors for a well developed character
In the selfish, shallow and vain Roxanila,
who calmly accepts favors from one and
all and does nothing good la return. In
the third act, when Roxanna topples over
the newly built happiness of her Betty
by telling a lot' ot Idle gossip and scandal
under the guise of befriending and warning
her. Miss Irving does a really splendid
bit of acting. Mrs. Fannie Addison Pitt
as the dowager duchess has the best
comedy character in the play and does
It as she does all her work, with an ar
tlstlo finish that is delightful.
The male characters In the piece are less
clearly defined than those for the women.
Mr, Conway Tearle's duke of Malmsbury
Is a creature of negative virtues and posi
tive vices. He rids himself of hla vlcea,
but ha cannot bring his virtues far enough
to the front to hold his wife. Mr. Tearle
makes this phase of the character quite
clear. Mr. Hunter's Lord Phillips Is much
the same sort of man, although he does
show at times to a little better advantage
than the duke. Mr. Short has a silly
boy part, which he does s very well, and
Mr. Allen affords a much relished flavor
of comedy by his lucidly expressed notion
of the old .Scotch theatrical manager.
The play la splendidly stsged. It opens
In a green room of the London theater In
which Mistress Betty !s the leading
woman;, from there It proceeds to the
Malmsbury family seat, where Mra. Betty
Is found, surrounded by ducal finery and
unhappy; the third act iset in the garden
of an inn on the banks of the Thames,
and is most effective, and the final act Is
In a London lodging house. A year elapses
between each act, making the time of ths
play three years, and accounting In a
measure for the sharp contrasts afforded.
A large audience witnessed the play last
night and paid to Miss Allen and her as
sociates the tribute of enthusiastic ap
plause for the excellent work done in their
efforts to make the. piece seem Interesting.
'The Toast of the Town" will be given
at a special matinee .thlu afternoon and
again this evening. v

Mary liaise lillmore.
OMAHA. April S. To the Editor of The
Rre: Chicago papers announced the death
on Saturday last in that city of Miss Mary
Louise Ollmore at the advanced age of 77
years. This event should have a more than
passing Interest to residents of Omaha.
whne recollection go back to the period
of Nebraska's territorial history from 1R54
to 1W7 during all of which time the Gll
more family was an Influential factor In
the official and social life ot this city.
Addison R. Gllmore was the first receiver
of the land office located in Omaha. He
came here from Illinois a the appointee of
President Franklin Pierce, and was an ar
dent adherent to the Douglas democracy
of that day. Stopping first at Bellevue,
with Oovernor Burt. Judge Fenner Fergu
son and other officials, he removed to
Omaha when it became the territorial cap
ital, and where he tiled after the explia
tlon of his term of service about the rear
18"t. He was a man of marked character
istics, with a full sense of personal honor
and Independence, and was a resolute de
fender and practlcer of honesty and recti
tude In public office. The name is still well
remembered here and In Barpy county,
where It Is preserved by Gllmore station on
tlte T'nlnn Pacific railroad.
Mary Louise, the elder of hi two daugh
ters, wa well known and Is affectionately
remembered as the first principal of Brow
nell Hall, while that institution was located
at Saratoga. Going later to Chicago with
the family she took a position In the post
office, there and wa retained In service,
under all changes of administration, to the
end of her long life. This exceptlial ten
ure was due to the high Intelligence, rare
fidelity and special aptitude displayed In
the work assigned her. In a long, patient,
self-sacrificing life, given far more to the
welfare of others than to her own. In the
sincerity and dex-otedness of her home life
and In her Christian character, she came
near to the ideal of pure and noble woman
hood. She was an active and assiduous
member of the Trotestant Episcopal church.
Besides that her life, her teachings and
her example would have been of themselves
a creed to believe In, to Inspire and to ex
alt, regardless of articles of faith. Her
many friends In Omaha and her pupils
scattered throughout the state, now better
wives and better mothers because of her
precepts and Influence as their teacher In
Brownell Hall, will cherish her memory
with peculiar regard. E. WAKKLEY.

machines under "full head of steam," and
then pushed Into their places on the ex

MUSIC AND MUSICIAXS
At the Lyric theater last night the fa
mous French violinist, Henri Martenu,
played a most scholarly and beautiful pro
gram to a handful of about fifty muslo
lovers who were familiar with his name
and reputation. It Is a sad comment upon
Omaha culture that such a master musi
cian should be passed by without Interest
or patronage. When he plays In the greet
cities of Europe It Is difficult at the last
moment to obtain even standing room, and
here In America his tour has been one of
triumph. Yet In Omaha ne played to an
almost empty house. Do people In this
town read any good Journals upon topics
of general Interest and Information? Why,
then, should they be Ignorant of the fame
of Henri Marteau? 'The Gingerbread
Man" ran pack Boyd's theater to the doors
a master like Marteau goes begging for
an audience. However, what the house
lacked In number It made up In enthu
siasm. The great violinist seemed to re
alise the sympathetic quality of his audi
ence and played a If thousands were
listening. He was conscientious snd gra
cious to a degree, giving two encores In
the course of the evening and altogether
behaving In marked contrast to certain
celebrities who have lately visited our city
and not found It worth while to give us of
their best.
The program opened with that most beau
tiful and profound of all Beethoven's son
atas for the piano and violin. "The Kreut
ser." Mr. Marteau gave It a masterly In
terpretation. His technique 1 marvelous
and crystal clear. He plays with a round,
deep and noble tone. To a poetic tempera
ment he add the scholars balance. The
combination I satisfying wonderfully sat
isfying. In the Bach air his tone took on the
depth and beauty of the 'cello. Such
sonority! Such classic and dignified beauty
of style! The Brahms Hungarian dances
were In complete contrast to the air and
given with a swing snd dash which
roused the greatest? delight. The Goddnrd
number, "Adagio Pathetlque," was
changed. Mr. Marteau playing lnsteinl the
lovely and familiar "Legende" of Wlenla
sky and giving it a dreamy, enchanting
reading. Shu ret' s ' "Farfalla" Sparkled
with life and showed still another phase
of Mr. Marteau's genius.
The final offering was Vieuxtemps' colos
sal fifth concerto in A minor. It was
difficult for the audience lo control Its
enthusiasm until the close of the number.
The concerto bristles' with terrifically dif
ficult passages. Marteau conqueFod them
without seeming effort, ' Carrying hi lis
teners along with him at a dlxry pace.
At the end only another appearance would
satisfy them. He finally, after five or
six recalls, came out and played
Puganlnl'g Etude opus 12.
Oh, music devotees of Omaha, what you
missed! The opportunity will not come
again right to your door.
M. Goellner Is a splendid pianist and
a worthy accompanist of M. Marteau. His
solp numbers, Chopin's nocturne n G and
the "Polanalse" in A flat, created much
enthusiasm. One could .wish for a little
more poetry and sentiment in his Interpre
tations, perhaps, but why Beek the flaw
when the whole was so good! I'm agraid
M. Marteau will not Include Omaha in
hla itinerary again. We j who went to the
recital were ashamed of our town and
felt like hiding our head. Mr. Marteau
practically presented us with his genius.
That he came out smiling' and played
his best showed' tbe kind .of .stuff he la
made of a gentleman.. 'well as a mas
ter. Good luck to him.
' MAP Y' LEARNED."
YOUNG MAN NIPPED AT DEPOT
Yonth (haraed with Grass ; Lareeay
Arrested Just Befnr Learlna
the City.
E. J. King was ' arrested yesterday
afternoon at the Union station by Detective
Ferris, who took the man to the city Jail
on a charge of grand larceny. King was
prepared to leave the city. The prisoner Is
charged with stealing valuable articles
from three roomers at the boarding house
of Mrs. L. Meyers, 22Z7 Dodge street, where
King resided since he came to Omaha. A
miscellaneous collection of stolen article
was found in two suit cases can-Jed by
King.
Mrs. Meyers reported to the police she
saw King going through one of her rooms
and questioned him. He said he was look
ing for money. When aevoral roomers
compla d of losses and' It waa learned
that King had packed his suit cases de
tectives were soon hot on his trail.
King Is a young man, with the appear
ance of education. He came to Omaha from
Chicago In January and secured work with
Allen Brothers. In connection with the
arrest of King a singular incident occurred.
When the prisoner was taken Into the city
Jail Patrolman W. R. Wilson happened to
be there and recognised King as the young
man he befriended at the Burlington sta
tion when King arrived here a few months
ago. King was sitting In a corner of the
Burlington waiting room when Wilson ac
costed him in a kindly way. King began
to cry and said he had never been away
from home before. Patrolman Wilson took
him over to a restaurant and bought his
breakfast.
.King lived at 4J04 Michigan avenue, Chi
cago, before coming to Omaha..
Among the articles found on King when
searched was what Is known among con
fidence men aa a "flath- roll," which con
sists of a currency note wrapped around a
bunch of paper in a manner to convey the
idea that the bundle represents consid
erable wealth. In King's case the bundle
represented $2.

SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE
Baron Rosen Present Suctfistion for
Another 8ession at The Harne.
DATE EARLY IN SUMMER PROPOSED
Pronoaal to Limit Freedom at
Aetloa la International Affairs
Will Meet with Onaa.
slttaa.
WASHINGTON. April J.-Vliexpettedly
the Russian government today made an
other movement toward the reconvention
of Ths Hague conference, when Baron
Rosen, the Russian ambassador, presented
to Secretary Root a proposal for ths re
convention of the conference at The Hague
early In the coming summer snd indicated
that The Netherlands government had as
sented to the proposition. It had been sup
posed that owing to the complexity of the
problems Involved even In the arrangement
of a tentative program for the conference
and the delays caused by the necessity ot
persuading the Swiss government to make
the time and program for the approaching
Red Croe convention conform as far as
possible to The Hague project. It would
scarcely be possible for the conference to
assemble earlier than a late date next fall.
There were seasonable objections, however,
to such a date and It was Intimated that
It might be necessary to defer the .conven
tion until next year.
Will Accept Invitation.
The mutter having been left In large
part to the governments of Russia and The
Netherlands to adjust the first named, be
cause the proposal for the conference had
originated with Emperor Nicholas, and the
latter, for the reason that the host should
be consulted wlien it concerned a matter of
date for the conference. The fact that they
have agreed makes It probable that the
other signatory powers to the original
Hague convention which have accepted the
Invitation to attend the next conference
will agree to the proposed date, although
the short period of time available will
make it necessary for some of tho powers
which have given little attention to the
subject recently to do some rapid diplo
matic work In order to arrange programs
according to their own desires. For it is.
certain that this proposed Russian program,
as conveyed to the State department today
by Baron Rosen, while not meeting possible
objections, will at least call forth some
projects differing materially in scope and
detail from the Russian plan.
Subjects for Discussion.
A casual reading of the proposal discloses
nothing that is calculated to arouse oppo
sition on the part of the United States gov
ernment, but unless the Algeclras confer
ence has materially modified the views of
certain of the European great powers
there Is a noable disinclination to enter
Into any engagements that would further
restrict the independence of action of a
power in International matters. The first
paragraph of the Russian program is re
garded as tending toward this restriction.
In that It makes It easier for powers to
engage In mediation or arbitration, and In
consequence enables a majority ot the
powers to force a settlement upon one ot
their number, when It would much rather
protect the use of strong diplomatic meas
ures snd even proceed to the verge of
forcibls compulsion.
Several of the Russian proposals are
really In substance the same as those pro
posed by The Hague conference Itself as
proper for consideration by another confer
ence, but there is a suggestion of the last
great war in the reference to a regulation
for "opening hostilities," for the Russians
have never admitted the legality In Inter
national law of the attack upon the Rus
sian warships in Chemulpo harbor and at
Port Arthur without, It was ssserted, due
notice.
The suggestion relative to the recognition
of private property rights In shipping
cargoes will find ready far with the state
department, for this government has been
foremost in advocating this for many
yean.

DEFENSES ARE INADEQUATE
Secretary Taft Surprises the Senate Com

BUT ONE QUARTER OF GUNS EFFECTIVE
This Condition Brought About by
a miter of Coast Artillerists
Who Caa Mas bat Oae
Fonrth o( Defenaea.
WASHINGTON, April .-Some surpris
ing facts regarding the Inadequacy of the
coast artillery force was brought out In
the recent examination of Secretary Taft
by the senate committee on military affairs.
The secretary presented data showing that
the present authorized force of coast ar
tillery is sufficient to provide one relief for
only 34 per cent of the guns, mines, range
finders, etc., now actually Installed or au
thorised for the coast defenses of the
United States. This Is exclusive of re
serves, supporters, etc., and Is based upon
the actual number of officers and men re
quired If the entire force of coast artillery
could be mustered in lino and each man
marched to his position. It was slao shown
that this 1 an average snortago ot more
than DO per cent In the coast artillery com
panies and that due to this shortage less
than 25 per cent of the defenses can be
actually manned by troops now in service.
In esse of a sudden outbreak of war 7E
per cent of the coast defenses would have
to remain Idle until such time as volun
teers or raw recruits would be trained to
handle the high-power guns, mines and
position-finding system, etc. This great
shortage le said to be due to the fact that
the pay Is not sufficient to Induce men to
enlist for the roast artillery. To obviate
these conditions Representative Hull of
Iowa has presented a bill In congress
which carries Increased pay for certain
grades In the coast artillery that require
technical skill and Increases the author
ised strength by about 6,000 officers and
men. This bill, If passed, will increase the
authorised strength to 46 per cent of that
required for one relief. -

THE GOOD THINGS OF EARTH

That our American forest abound In

valuable medicinal snd curative virtues,
S abundantly attested bv scores of the
most eminent medical writers snd iach

native plants before the advent of the
white race on thl continent. I his in

freely to the fricndlior of the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots and
herbs.

a medicinal agent. In order to be good
and useful, must have heon brought
scross the ocean or that "beinir carried
even times across the Sahara Desert on
the backs of fourteen camels" makes .It
the more valuable.
Dr. Pierce believe that our Amerlcsn
forests abound In most valuable medi

obstinate and most fatal diseases. If we

Iloth these world-famed medicines are
