—Almost everybody has, at some time
of their life, felt the despondency caus
ed by dyspepsia, or acute indigestion,
and yet but few know how differently
it affects different people. For instance
—some years ago a Butler man ate a
late supper at one of the country hotels
of this county and his only associate at
the table was a travelling peddler, a
short, stout man who was driving
through the country. The peddler had
encumbers for his supper and ate freely
of them. The next morning the twe
men met at the breakfast table, and
ag-tin the peddler was eating encum
bers. The Bntler man remarked it,and
the peddler said, "Oh, yes; I eat cucum
bers three times a day for my dyspep
sia," while the Bntler man's brand of
dyspepsia forbade his touching the
things. Sour milk (or bonny-klaber) if
rank poison to some people who can
drink freely of good sweet milk 01
cream; and ordinary fermented bread if
almost indigestible to some people,
while hard tack or unfermented bread
agrees with them. Good meat agrees
with most people, but some have to pas.-
it by eutirely. No two cases of dyspep
sia are similar. The disease or weak
ness or whatever it is, cannot lie cam"
by drugs, and every victim of it musl
find out for himswlf what he can eat
and what mixtures he can safely make

A Remarkable Suicide.
While despondent and in pain from
stomach and heart trouble. Ferdinand
Feigel, took his own life, by shooting
himself, at his residence on West North
street, Butler, last Friday evening.
Mrs. Feigel and their two children,
Ernest and Ollie, were away at the pic
nic held by the English Lutheran
church, of which the Feigel family are
members, at Cascade I'ark. Rev.
Mouatz, their pastor, and his wife ac
companied them.
During the Feigel went
to Koch's grocery and inquired by tele
phone when the picnic train would leave
New Castle. Nothing unusual was
noticed in his conduct at the store, but
it is thought he was in a spell of de
spondency at the time, as he went home
and wrote two letters, one to his neigh
bor and business associate, ililton
Shanor, and the oth>-r to the public. In
both he expressed his determination to
end his life. He gave Mr. Shanor di
rections concerning business affairs. In
Lis letter to the public he stated that
life was rendered unbearable by heart
and stomach trouble, that two weeks
ago while on a vimt to some oil wells
south of Connoquenessing an attack of
heart trouble came on him while walk
ing in the woods from Reibold station
to the wells. He became unconscious
and lay in the woods in this condition
from ten o'clock in the morning, the
time he became sick, until four the next
morning, when he recovered and drag
ged himself to shelter. He then stated
that he felt another of these spells com
ing on him. he could not bear it and
would end his life.
Mr. Feigel then took a bath, shared
himself careful!}*, pnt on a night shirt,
and laved down on the floor of the bath
room, "his head resting on a pillow, and
shot himself twice with a revolver. The
first shot was in the middle of the fore
head and glanced along the skull with
out penetrating. This must have
stunned him for a time but on regain
ing consciousness he placed the muzzle
to his abdomen and tired, the bullet tak
ing an upward conrse and passing
through the heart.
The shooting was done about 8:30 in
the evening. Several neighbors heard
the shots but could not locate them.
About nine o'clock Mrs Feigel and the
children arrived home, and found the
husband and father lying dead, and the
house filled with smoke from his night
clothes which were slowly burning and
would probably have set the house on
fire within a few minutes. Physicians
and coroner John L. Jones were at once
called and a coroners jury consisting of
William Stein, Louis Stein. William A.
Mitzger, Ea<j. Jacob Keck, Henry Miller
and Rev. Eli Miller was summoned. A
verdict was rendered according to the
facts.
Mr. Feigel was in his forty-eight year.
He was a son of Valentine Feigel and a
brother of William Feigel of Colorado.
Mrs. Christopher Troutman of Pitts
burg, and Mrs. George Ketterer and
Mrs. Christian Aldinger of Butler. Pie
was a carpenter by trade and was in
comfortable circumstances financially.
He was a member of the First English
church.
His wife was Margaret Kader,
daughter of Peter Rader of Connoque
nessing. She has the sympathy of all
in her sad and bitter affliction.

A Traveling Pain.
There is no disease quite so peculiar
as rheumatism. The pain which is in
the little finger to day may be in one of
the toes to-morrow. Ana so it travels
alt over the system, seeking an outlet,
and finding none it settles permanently
in one place, and from its home other
pains start out, and settle down and
multiply. Dr. Drummond's Lightning
Remedies for rheumatism attack the
disease from all points at once, and
their work is always successful. If
your druggist has not got these reme
dies, write to the Drummond Medicine
Co., New York, and describe your case.

DEALERS in ready made clothing
represent their wares as "Tailor made'
"cnstorr. made" &c., but they ask the
regular prices of ready made and the
boast is understood. But when they
offer to take your measure, promise to
have the clothes made for you and
charge the tailors price, they impose
upon your credulity Whether their
misrepresentation is wilful or negligent
the result to you is the same,
Most men want what they pay for and
are willing to pay for the superior
quality of made to measure clothes.
Our garments are cut and made to your
measure in our own workshop in But

men, but by expert tailors.
