The Stomach Does
. Hot Cause Dyspepsja
Neither Will It Cure It Because the
. Lack of Gastric Juices
Prohibit Kelief.
The stomach la a strong, powerful or
Tan, which is composed of muscles of
great strength. It la filled during diges
tion with gastrlo Juices which, when the
stomach, extending and compressing the
food, dissolve It and separate the nour
ishment from the waste matter. If, how
vver, these gastrlo Juices are lacking, the
stomach is not capable of digesting its
food because it has not the tools with
which to work successfully.
The gastric juices when In a perfect
state do away with all foul odors, fer
mentation and decay, reduce the food to
disintegrated maia and the stomach
'.hen prestos it Into the Intestines where
mother form of digestion takea place.
Then the Intestines take from this mass
of food all that Is nourishing and give It
to the blood. The waste matter It throws
from the system.
If Instead of nourishment the Intestines
reoelve Impure deposits combined with a
poisonous and Imperfect gastric juice. It
f.-an be readily seen that they must turn
such Imperfect nourishment Into the blood.
The blood then being unable to give each
part of the body that which It requires, be
comes Impoverished and disease la spread
broadcast.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta corrects
such a condition at once. If the gastric
Jutoes are lacking and Imperfect these
tablets do their woik Just the same. They
betid up the elements In the Juice which
are lacking and remove those elements
which cause disturbance.
Meat, grains, fluids, vegetables and
delicacies. In faot each portion of a
large meal have been placed In a glass
vlal and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta have
digested them to a perfect fluid just as
a, healthy stomach would do.
A. large complex, hearty meal holds no
terrors for a dyspepetlo if Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tsblets are used. Abnormal est
Ing, late dinners, rich foods cause ill ef
fects. to tne stomach, but when Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are used one may eat
when and what one will wtthout.dunger
of dyspepsia or discomfort.

loonmen to live up to the mulct law, no
tice of Injunction suits were served yes

In three of the Injunction suits the pro

of these were Indicted by the grand Jury
on the charge of violating tho provision
of the mulct law.
One of the injunction proceedings f
against Mrs. May Noble, proprietress of
the Riverside hotel on North Thirty-seventh
street, against whom the grand Jury re
turned two indictments, one on the charge
of keeping a house of 111 fame and the
other on the charge of selling liquor con
trary to law.
Injunction suits are brought against the
following because of their failure to file
bonds in the sum of 83,000, as required by
law:

ORINNELL. Ia., Dec. 23.-(Special.) On
the morning of the fourth of January, 1906,
near Brooklyn, was discovered one of the
most brutal murders that has stirred this
part of Iowa for many a year. An old man
named Thomas W. Read, who was known
to live by himself upon a farm near
Brooklyn and not far from the homes of
some of his children, was found dead that
morning with all the circumstantial evl
dence pointing to robbery as the motive
of tho crime. The old man had made a
brave fight for his life, but his assailant
had been too strong for him and- had beaten
him horribly and left him dead. Detectives
were put to work and every effort was
made to discover the murderer and have
him brought to Justice, but, while suspicion
was strong, no sufficiently strong evidence
could be produced to warrant any arresta
Recently some parties have been Indicted
by the grand Jury and on trial have been
convicted and sentenced on various
charges, one of which was breaking and
entering a box car at Brooklyn. In con
nection with these cases evidence seems to
have been obtained that may lead to the
conviction of the murderer of Mr. Read,
and n Saturday afternoon last County
Attorney If. E. Boyd filed information tuid
secured the arrest of one Jesse Flnley, who
is said to lead a wandering life and to
have been away from Brooklyn most of
tho time since the murder mentioned above
was committed. The officers of the law
hate been persistently watching this case
and piecing together scraps and larger
pieces of evidence until they are quite sure
they now have the perpetrator of the
crime. When arrested Flnley waived exam
ination and waa committed to jail to wait
for the action of the grand Jury at the next
tern, of tho district court.
Water Bonds la Desuuil.

Tlhe Story of Nebraska
The Omaha Bee has planned to publish "The Story of Nebraska," not
the story of the prairie schooner, ths sod house, the trapper or the fur trader,
but of prosperous, progressive, busy, up-to-the-minute Nebraska. Many
of the new and some of the older settled counties have been making prog
ress so quietly that the world at large is not aware of their achievements.
Our object is to bring all loyal and progressive citizens into closer touch in the commercial ami social
relations, and to work for the development of the natural resources of the state, to foster and build up
manufacturing industries, and by every consistent effort encourage the employment of skilled labor and
improve the conditions of the laboring classes. The story will give only a glimpse, a mere outline. The
reader will be shown among the print just enough to give him a general idea of the state. Its opportuni
ties to the dairyman, and its openings to the home maker. The free rural mail box and the telephone pole
are crowding the frontier. The wolf and the wilderness have retreated. jf during her early history Ne
braska has surprised her own people, surely a brighter future awaits them.
There will be a little about the towns dnd cities, just now somewhat
misunderstood and misjudged, and something about the rural districts the
farm and the stock ranch. Here and there will be found a few figures, not
many, just a few, as measurements and for the information of those who
enjoy such things.
It will tell the achievements of a people, who in less than half a century have wrought ont of a
boundless prairie a progressive, productive state. It will give in brief the new life in the new country,
the swift passing of events, the possibilities of advancement and pleasure. These articles will be fully illus-
trated and will appear in the Sunday Bee from week to week.
