SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Organized Uang of Chicken Thieves
Is Operating Extensively In Ml-nooka-Plnk.
Tea Tonight.
There Is an organized gang of chicken
thieves Infesting Mlnoolta, comprising
at least four young: men, and their
rendezvous is alleged to be In a drink
ing place on Main street. It is a strange
case It a night goes by without a raid
being' made on some hen roost around,
and It has got to the pass now that
the depredations are done defiantly and
almost In daylight. The members of
the gang are well known; they have
not done any work In months, and the
only way In which their ability to exist
without work can be accounted for, Is
to charge up to them tho numerous lar
cenies that have recently been commit
ted.
This Is not. the only evidence against
them; they have been watched, and
while actual discovery has not yet vis
Ited them, yet enough is known of cir
cumstantlnl evidence to establish be
yond question that they are the ones
who invade the roosts at night. It will
be either a load of buckshot or arrest
before long, if they persevere. The en
tire place Is up In arniH and toleration
Is any longer out of question. One of
their number bus been in jail many
tlmos.
DEATH OP MICHAEL QUINX.

PECULIAR POISOXS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food. ,
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within Itself the germs of cer
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the results of
Imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di
gest the food. The result Is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay) poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak, and lacking In
red corpuscles; poisoning the bruin
causing headuches and pains In the
eyes.
Had digestion Irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very Important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidnevs,
causing (right's disease and diabetex.
And this Is so because every orguu,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weuk digestion shows Itself not
only In loss of appetite und lleh. but
In weuk nerves nnd inuddv complexion.
The great English scientist. Huxley,
said the best start In life In a sound
stomueh. Weak stomachs fall to digest
food properly, because they, luck the
proper quantity of digestive adds i lac
tic and hydrochloric) und peptogenlc
products: the most sensible remedy In
all cases of Indigestion, is to take after
each nioul, one or two of Htuurt's Dys
pepsia Tablets, because they supply In
a pleasant, harmless form ull the ele
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dvspepsla
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase ilesh. Insure pure blood,
strong nerves, u bright eye und V 'h-ar
complexion, because ull these tiult
only iroin wholesome food well digest
