A SOUR STOJIAOH
Is Ofton tho Real Gauso of n Sour
Tompor.
That the condition of the digestive
organs has a marked effect upon tho
character or disposition Is a truism ns
old as the hills. Old lien Johnson
wisely raid "the pleasure of living de
pends upon tho liver" nnd It is a fact
which none muy dlsputo that a sunny
disposition more often results from
a healthy digestion than from any
other cause,
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
sour stomach or heartburn, is caused
by slow digestion of food: Instead of
being promptly digested nnd converted
Into blood, bono and muscle, It lies In
the stomach for hours, fermenting and
decaying, creating gnses which causa
pressure on tho lungs and heart, short
breath and general discomfort nnd ir
ritation. Such hnlf digested food Is Indeed
poor nourishment for tho body, brain
and nerves nnd tho lcsult Is shown
in irritable tempers, unaccountable
headaches and that depressing condi
tion called tho "blues" but how quick
ly nil these disappear when appetite
nnd digestion are restored.
Laxative medicines only IrrlUto the
already lultatcd ntomach and bowels
and have no effect upon actual diges
tion of food.
The sensible coiuse to follow Is to
make use of simple lmtural digestives
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals until the stomach has a chance
lo recuperate.
The natural digestives which every
healthy stomach contains arc pop
tones, diastase nnd Hydrochloric and
lactic adds, and when any of them
tite lacking the trouble begins; tho
reason Stuarl's Dyspepsia Tablets are
so valuable and successful In curing
stomach troubles Is because they con
tain, In a pleasant concentrated tablet
form all these absolutely necessary
essentials for perfect digestion and as
similation of food,
Henry Klikpatiick, of Lawrenc
Mass., says: "Men nnd women who-ie
occupation ptecludes an active out
door life should make It n dally prac
tice to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tnblets
after meals. I have done so myself nnd
I know positively that I owe my pres
ent bee 1th and vigor to their dally
use.
"From the time 1 was 2.', when I
gi initiated from school with broken
health from overwoik, until I was fll,
I .scaicely knew what It was to be
fiee from stomach wenkneso; I hai
no appetite whatevei lor breakfast
nnd very little for nny other meal.
I had acidity and heirtbuin nourly
every dny and sometimes was alarmed
by Irregularity and pilpltatlon of the
heart, but all this gradually dlsap
peaied after I began using Stuatt's
Dyspepsia Tablets and I can eat my
meals with relish and satisfaction
which T had not known since I was a
giowing boy."'
The success and popularity of Stu
art's dvspepsla Tablets is enormous,
but It Is deserved, and every druggist.
In the T'nlted States, Canada nnd
Oreut Rrltaln has n good word for this
mei Itorious preparation.

The Revival Services.
The revival meetings at the Metho
dist church now being conducted by
the "diuiunier evangelist," Rev. W. II.
Williams, are growing In numbers and
inteiest with tioch succeeding set vice.
Mr. Williams Is proving himself a
master hand lu conducting such meet
ings. This evangelistic woik has been
his woik for a number of years before.
Ill, pleaching Is up-to-date, with Ihe
subjects for e.u h service. Ho took for
his subject last night "Conversion,"
John, :i-T, and said, In part;
"Nleodemus believed In Jesus. That
was not enough. He felt the need of
something more than this, and camo
to Jesus bv night lo find out what
more he must do to have eternal life.
"Conveislon is a change of heart, it
Is the commencement of u divine life.
A change of character In this, the
things we once loved, we now hate.
Wheio this love and hatred Is wiought
by tho Holy Clhost It Is tho new bltth,
for conveislon generates a hatred to
all evil.
"To be born twice Is eternal life. To
bo born once Is eternal death. We may
or may not know the time nnd nlace
of conversion, but all should nnd can
Kuoiv it is done. The question Is: Has
theie been a change of character and
citizenship? Has our chief Intsrest
been tinnsfetred fiom this to the world
to come.
"Conversion Is not teais, smiles,
emotions or leellng. It Is a chnngn of
character by divine ginco. Heatls
made tight. Tho old life will give
place to tho new; the toul Is moved
and iiwnyed by tho power that will
finally laud It In glory. Tho soul will
inn In the lino of duty to Qod and
man, und the set vice of Clod will bo
natural and pleasant
"This birth Is iiom above. (lod Is
at overy man'B door. AVe must h.uo
It or hetuen is lout. 'I am morally up
light,' says one. Yo must be born
again. 'My character Is above te
proach,' says another. Ye must be
born again, for the must ivllued nro
not lit for heaven without It.
"The hand that knocked at thu Jew
ish i tiler's heart Is now knocking at
youis. Shut the door against him and
all Is lost. Impenitent becomes peni
tent; proud becomes humble; unkind,
kind; unfaithful, faithful. Ask my
wile, she will tell you If I am con
verted. "If you will obey Him. the seed of
heaven will fall lnt6 your heart and
ripen into immortality. No Ufa Is so
sinful, no hcait so hard, that this new
birth will not cure."
Mr. Wllllnms will conduct a kinder

CHOKER'S TRIAL TOR MURDER.
Was Once Accused of Shooting a Man
in a Saloon.
W. E luitii In the Chicago Itecord.
Several people htivo written me for
lnfonnatlon concerning Mr. Crokcr's
trial for murder. Ho Is a machinist by
trade, and In his early days worked lu
the shops of the Now York Central
Hallway company at Forty-second
street. He started In politics in the
district In which the Grand Central
railway station is located, and his first
office was that of alderman for that
ward. He was u follower of Jumos
O'Bileu. but had a. falling out with
him In 1S74, O'Brien prevented Croker's
renomlnntlon for the council and nomi
nated Beinard O'Nell In his place. On
election day Croker, who was making1
the lounds of the district accompanied
by a party of stiong-armed and des
peiato folloivei.s, had an altercation
with O'Brien and a number of his fol
low eis at tho corner of Thirty-fourth
Htreet nnd Third avenue. According to
the testimony at the murder trial
O'Bilen and Croker called each other
hard names until both lost their tem
pers nnd began to fight. Mr. Croker
testified that he hit O'Brien twice and
that O'Brien struck him in thn teeth.
Then friends tried to separate them
and u general melee followed, during
which some ono fired a pistol, nnd John
McKenna, one of O'Bilen's frlends.who
was struggling with Croker, fell mor
tally wounded, The whole party wan
arretted anil taken to the station
house, whero Croker charged O'Brien
with assault and O'Brien charged
Cioker with murder.
In his ante-mortem statement John
McKenna stated that Croker shot him.
Ho said:
"I saw O'Brien and Croker quarrel
ing and I ran, und Croker shot me. I
saw Croker stilke O'Brien und shoot
him. Tho revolver was so close that
the powder burned my ear."
Two policemen gave similar testi
mony. Mr. Ci'oker was indicted for
murder and spent two months In tho
Tombs awaiting trial. After deliber
ating seventeen hours tho Jurors re
ported that they were unablo to agree
and were discharged. Six members of
the Juiy wero in favor of a verdict of
murder In the llrst degree. Tho other
six wero willing to find him guilty nt
manslaughter, but did not believe thfk
he llred the shot deliberately with II- '
tent to kill MolCenna. Thus ho was
neither convicted nor acquitted.
