guilty and placed the costs on the de

IS A SKIUOUS MATTER.
The Most Serious nnd Fatal Diseases
Arise from Indigestion,
Chronic Indigestion or Dyspepsia,
while n very common trouble, has for
some time been looked upon by able
physicians as a serious thltipr, and that
no time should ho lost In treating It
properly nt the start, because recent
researches have idiown that tlio most
serlotiH, fatal and Incurable diseases
have their origin In slniple dyspepsia
or Indigestion.
Diabetes Is simply one form uf Indi
gestion, tlm sugar and starchy food not
being assimilated by tho dlKCstlvo or
gans. In TJrlffht'sj disease the albumen
Is not properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia tire
twin diseases, and It Is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption. But the
trouble has been to tlnd a remedy that
could be depended upon to cure dys
pepsia, as it is notoriously obstinate
und dllllcult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics nllkc,
until the question was solved three
years ago by the appeuranco of a new
discovery In the medical world known
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which it
was claimed was a certain, reliable
cure for every form of stomach trouble.
Physicians, however, would not ac
cept such statements without first giv
ing the new remedy many tests und
carefully observing results.
For three years the remedy lins been
thoroughly tested in every section of
the country and with surprising nnd
satisfactory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can bo
honestly claimed to bo a specific, a
radical lasting cure for indigestion in
the various forms of acid dyspepsia, or
Four stomach, gas or wind on stomach,
too much bile, undue fullness or pres
sure after eating and similar symptoms
resulting from disordered digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
years' trial left no doubt as to their
value and they have recently been
placed In the trade and can be found
on sale ut ull druggists at the nominal
price of CO cents wor package.
No extravagant claims are made for
the remedy, it will not cure rheuma
tism, pneumonia, typhoid fever, nor
anything but just what it is claimed to
cure and that is every form of stomach
trouble. No dieting is necessary, good
wholesome food and plenty of it, and
you may rest assured that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest it. Drug
gists claim for it that it is a pleasure
to recommend it to dyspeptics, because
it gives such universal satisfaction,
was on trial charged with breaking In
to the store of Cumnilngs Brothers In
tho Price building on "Washington ave
nue on March 23, last. Sullivan was
employed there and after the store
closed that night he entered it through
it rear door and carried oft' a. package
of lace curtains and other articles. He
was arrested with the lace curtains in
his possession. The commonwealth
rested just before court adjourned. Sul
livan is defended by Attorneys M. J.
and T. A. Donahoe.
BEFORE JUDGE WHEATON.
The trial of William Lisk, charged
with selling liquor without a license in
the Exchange hotel in Dunmore, on
April 12, last, was resumed yesterday
morning. The defense was a complete
denial of the charge. The case was
given to the jury at 2 p. in. and two
hours later a verdict of not guilty, de
fendant to pay the costs was returned.
Pu'ul Wargo was then put on trial
charged with larceny and receiving by
Constable M. J. Gnughan, of Olyphunt.
Wargo rented a. house from George
Spitzer and did not pay ids rent. His
goods were levied on by the constable
and after this was done Wargo moved
them out of the house. All of the evi
dence for the commonwealth had not
been heard when court adjourned for
the day.
Opinion in the Smith Estate.
Judge A. A. Vosburg In Orphans'
court, yesterday, handed down an opin
ion in the estate of W. W. Smith. He
says, in part:
The executors under the will ot" W.' W.
Smith, deceased, presented their petition
asking leave to mortgage certain real
estate of the decedent, for the payment
of debts, a schedule of which was at
tached to this petition. Opposition to tills
request was made by certain parties In
interest, but after a bearing, an order
was made allowing the .executor to bor
row twelve hundred dollar-', which fund
Is now to be distributed. A elalm
Is made upon a. Judgment at Xo, ciij
March term, 1001, and the amicable re
vival of the same at Xo. ,1!iS May term,
1001, in tho court of common pleas of
Lackawanna, county. In favor of Frank
M. Colvin against AY. K. Smith and W.
W. Smith. It is agreed that W. H. Smith
is the principal debtor, kml W. AY. Smith
tho surety, upon the noto upon which
this claim Is based. The revival was for
the sum of .V7ti.9o. and costs, and was
tiled on April 18. 1901.
Objection Is mado to tho allowance of
this Judgment as a claim upon tho fund
now before tbn court for distribution, for
tho reason that It was not Included In
the schedule of debts attached to tho
petition for leave to mortgage; but buth
in principle, and upon the authority of
tho cases cited below, which, while not
directly in point, seem to sustain the
claimant's contention. I am of the opin
ion thnt this Judgment must participate
In this dlstiihutloii,
lu oiiler that there may be an express
ruling upon this question, upon which
there Is u singular dearth of authority,
f hold that where tliern Is 11 Judgment
entered as a lien upon tho real estate of
a decedent, nnd In nn application by the
ropresentatlves of the estate, tor leave to
mortgage thli real estate for the pay
ment of debts, this particular Judgment
Is omitted from tho schedule of debts,
attached to such petition, tlio plaintiff lu
said Judgment Is nevertheless entitled to
como In upon tho distribution of the fund
arising from snld mortgnglng, und claims
paymont out of said fund In tho order of
tho priority of his lieu upon tho land cov
ered by the mortgage.

HAS NOT GIVEN
UP ITS WORK
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE IS STILL
VERY ACTIVE.
Agent Wilson Explains the Reason
for the League's Action in tho
Mnloney and Thomas Cases Men
They Were Anxious to Reach Aro
Higher Up They Wanted to Catch
the Bribe-Givers Still Much Work
for the League and It Is Being
Done.
"Nu, the Municipal league Is not
going out of business," said Robert
Wilson, its agent, yesterday. "Wo per
mitted ti hoi proa, to be entered in tho
Maloney bribery case because wo reel
that his punishment lias been more
terrible than the lnw could possibly in
flict, and ns the Simon Thomas and
Maloney cases are interwoven, wu can
do nothing else than allow that case to
bo nol prossed also, upon payment of
the costs.
"Wo feel sorry for Maloney, lie was
but the agent of other men higher up,
whom wo had hoped to reach. When
ho was arrested we had a very strong
case against him. He left the city, but
Influences that were set In motion
brought hihi back, and he agreed to go
on the stand and make u, clean breast
ot his relations with tho councllmen
and name the men who furnished the
money. These were tlio men the Munici
pal league were really after. We wanted
to reach the brlbe-glvers.
Persuaded Him to Leave.
"He had been back only about three
days when men who stand high In this
community persuaded hlm that it would
be best for hlm to leave the city. They
wanted to shield themselves, and they
eared not what became of their unfor
tunate agent. Mr. Moloney left, and
wandered from place to place, AVher
ever lie went lie heard men talk of
municipal and political corruption, and
of men who had to leave home because
of their participation in them. Ho felt
he was pursued by detectives wherever
lie went, and gradually his reason was
dethroned.
"Finally he drifted ,to Chicago, and
there on street corners made speeches
In which he roundly denounced munici
pal corruption, and advised young men
to beware ot bad companions:. He was
picked tip by tho police, and when his
condition was noted was placed in an
institution there.
"His friends came to us and asked it
we would consent to have hlm brought
to ids home, where under proper treat
ment it was hoped he might win hlm
buck his henlth and reason. AYe con
sented with the understanding that it
he recovered the case would go to trial.
His case was nol prossed on these same
conditions.
An Awful Penalty.
"It seems to mo that the penally the
men who were mixed up In the munici
pal corruption paid and aro paying is
something awful, and It is ndt right
that the men who gave the bribes
should walk our streets claiming the
respect of this, community, while the
sufferings their tools endured Is more
than the courts could possibly Inflict
by sending them to the penitentiary.
"AVo have not finished our work in
this community by any means. AYe are
at work' all the time, and because of
our work this city and county has been
lifted to u very much higher moral
plane than it was three years ago.
There is much yet to be done, and we
will try to do it."
