INTERESTING, IF TRUE.
You Can Try It For Yourself and Prov«
It.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
3,000 groins o£ meat, eggrs or other
wholesome food, and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment
Which anyone can perform for himself
In the following manner: Cut hard
boiled eggs into very small pieces, as It
•would be If masticated, place the eg®
and two or three of the tablets In a
bottle or Ja:.- containing warm water,
heated to 98 degrees (the temperature
of the body), and keep it at this tem
perature for three and one-half hours,
at the end of which time the egg will be
as completely ciigested as it would have
been in the healthy stomach of a hun
gry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
What Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the egg in the bottle it will do to
the ere meat in the stomach, ana
nothing else will rest and Invigorate
-t the stomach so safely and effectually.
*V'Bven a little child can take Stuart's

Capture of Beutliien May Help
In Clearing' Up Tangled Af
fairs of Institution
TWO FAILURES COINCIDENT
Beuthien's Peculations from the New
Liberty Bank Said to Have Been
Partially Covered Up by the Trans­
fer of Ciood Securities from Dixon
Bank for Worthless Paper.
Special to Times-Republican.
Davenport, Nov. 25.—That the cap
ture of Arnold Beutliien, the default
ing cashier of the iNew Liberty bank
may shed a new light on many phases
of the Dixon bankruptcy case Is the
opinion ol- a number of Davenport at
torneys, particularly those interested in
the case.
Another certainty is, that if it can
be possibly arranged, Arnold Beuthien
will be brought before Referee Hel
mick, to give testimony at the first
meeting of the creditors of the bank.
This meeting takes place next Satur
day morning- at 10 o'clock in Referee
Helmick's office.
Up to the present time the 215 cred
itors of tlie insolvent financial institu
tion have been largely at sea as to the
size of their individual losses. The
schedules prepared by Attorneys Ruy
mann & Ruymann show liabilities of
f45.C(i0, and assets considerably over
th,s amount, consistingly largely, how
ever. of doubtful securities.
In case Arnold Beuthien Is brought
before the referee he will doubtless
bs able to unravel a considerable por
tion of this tangled skein of facts and
reveal the true situation at the bank
Whether or not he could be compelled
to testify was another mooted ques
tion today In legal circles.
It is well known that a man, ac
cusf 'o:! any state offense need not
Kive any evidence which can be used
against him, and under this rule Beu
thlen could scarcely be compelled to
teil of his dealings in connection with
the New Liberty and Dixon banks.
Rsfere« Helmick Is of the opinion,
however, that Beuthien can be brought
to the meeting and be made to testify.
He sayi that the federal bankruptcy
law expressly provides for an instance
of thl3 kind by saying that such
person can be compelled to give such
testimony as is needed, but that such
exldence cannot be used against him
in the criminal proceedings.
The attorneys for the bank's cred
itors are very anxious to secure Beu
thlci's testimony In one .particular in
stance. They claim that the failure
of the Dixon bank was largely due to
drains made upon it by the New Lib
erty bank at the time Arnold Beuthien
absconded with considerable of its
funds and securities.
At this time the state bank examiner
came to New Liberty and it is said
that he and the older Beuthien trans
ferred a. quantity of gilt-edged paper
Irom tha Dixon bank to the New Lib
erty institution, leaving In its stead
valueless securities from the former
bank.
If thl:3 fact can be proven by Beu
thien's testimony the Dixon bank may
be able to pay Its creditors dollar for
dollar, as the bankruptcy law nullifies
any transaction of this sort which
may have happened within four
months of the time the bank went into
bankruptcy. The New Liberty bank
could then be compelled to return all
securltliajs which came'from the Dixon
bank. On this account a determined
effort will be made to secure Beu
thien's testimony at the creditors'
meeting, and interesting developments
the expected. *K
Beuthien Will Return.
Special to Times-Republican.
Davenport, Nov. 26.—Deputy Sher
iff Van R. Rowe, received a telegram
from Sheriff E3. G. McArthur last night
stating that the sheriff would arrive
in Davenport with Arnold Beuthien
Thursday evening.
This would indicate that Mr. Beu
thien had consented to return to Dav
enport without requisition papers. The
telegram stated that nothing of the
particulars of the case and the details
of his capture have not yet been learn
ed from any authentic source.
Why the sheriff did not return last
night with his prisoner is not known,
but it Is thought that Beuthien wanted
to arrange some of his affairs in Chi
cago before coming and that the sher
iff consented if he would agree to
come without securing requisition
papers.
Ari Indication of what a deep inter
est the affairs of Beuthien have excit
ed among the citizens was evident
yesterday from the inquiries made in
regard to his return.
Every train from Chicago was also
watched by an eager throng of p'eople
anxious to c&tch a glimpse of the
young man who is charged with the
embezzlement of some $50,000 al
though he Is but little more than 30
years of age.
Now that the man has been cap
tured there will be a demand for
the $it00 reward offered for his cap
ture which was put up a short time
ago.
The money was raised thru sev
eral sources and the two detectives in
Chicago will doubtless come in for a
large part if not all of the money if
the reports that have been received
from Chicago are true.
WOMAN BADLY BURNED.
Thanksgiving Day Blaze Causes Ser

Special to Times-Republican.
Dubuque, Nov. 25.—l^ire Thursday
morning partially destroyed the home
of Louis Spielman, on South Locust
street, and Mrs. Spielman was badly
burned while attempting to save her
children and valuables.
Mrs. Spielman was at work In the
kitchen of ithe house preparing the
Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey had
been, dressed and placed in the oven
anrl the cooking commenced, when
Mrs. Spielman l^ft the room. She
•walked to the front of the house, and
almost immediately returned to the
kitchen. A couch was afire and the
ilsmcs were spreading rapidly. With a
mother's instinct she looked for her lit
tle ones and carried them to safety.
Shu returned time and again to ffet
articles. Neighbors saw the smoke and
a couple of firo companies were c.iile^.
Mrs. Spielman continued to carry
things from the house, braving the
flnines and exposing herself to danger.
The flamr-s gradually caught her, and
she was horribly burned. Her hair
eye brows, eye lashes, face and body
were b-.irned. She was assisted by
neighbors:, who took her to an ad
joining house. She tried to walk and

An examination of Mrs. Spielman's'
injuries developed the fact that she is
seriously burned, but not fatally, per

unable to resi because of her intense
suffering.').
After the fire was out, Mr. Spielman,

thereby hangs a tale ot disagreement
among physicians of this city, Webs
ter City and Des Moines. Several days
ago, Dr. Pagelson, of this city, an
nounced a patient at Georgetown sick
with smallpox and the premises were
promptly quarantined by the township
officers. Dr. E. N. Bywater, a homeo
pathic physician, was called and said
the case was one of chickenpox. To
settle the point, Dr. W. M. Morton, the
health officer for the township, was
jailed and said it was smallpox. Not
satisfied with this decision. Dr. By
water summoned Dr. Richardson of
Webster City and Dr. Lynn of the
staite board of health. Both of these
gentlemen agreed with Bywiater that
it was a close of chickenpox but this
did not satisfy the apathetic disciples
and so Dr. Sams of Clarion, another
member of the state board of health,
has been summoned here today to de
termine what the real nature of the
disease is.

The only question before the court
was to the amount of Mrs. DuBois' al

Mr. Bradshaw thought that $50 per
month was ample. The majority of
American families, he contended, were
supported on a less amount. Mr. Mil
ler thought $2,500 for the year's sup
port was not too great.
Judge McHenry, who had the final
say in the matter, fixed the amount at
$1,500 for the year. He didn't pass
on the demand for an allowance for a
surgical operation. "I am following the
example of the august body on the
bill and passing only on questions
which are before me," &ald the court.
Judge McHenry held that as the
Denver wife had been deserted by her
husband she shouldn't be allowed only
sufficient to meet what she had been
capable of earning. She was under no
obligations to support herself if her

the "city yesterday in search of daring
burglars, who on Tuesday night robbed
the Milwaukee depot at Jefferson, S. D.
of $12. He said he believed th men
came to this city.
The robbery occurred between 6 and
o'clock. Depot Agent Beck left the
station to go up town to get som'thing
to eau. While he was gone a 'obber
crawled over the transom, priec. open
the money drawer and made away with
the contents. The theft was nt dis
covered until some time after ivards.
When Mr. Beck came back to the depot
he sat conversing with a friend when
he noticed the drawer at the ticket
window. He then discovered, the
money gone.
With a posse he secured a ha ad car
and a search was made for the robbers,
but r.o trace of them could be found.
The sheriff believes the men to be a
:ouple of hoboes, who were seen hang
ing around the station during (he af
ternoon. They probably saw th agent
leave and embraced the oppo-tunity
to rob the station. Nothing aside from
the money was taken.

An Old Couple's Troubled.
There is an old couple of Usdale,
Kansas, the husband 71 and the wife
67. who made a discovery late in life
that would have saved lots of their
troubles, something they learned about
diet.
The old gentleman says: Cne day
the doctor told me my wife's trouble
was not heart disease, but her stomach
but she thought he was mistaken. As I
had read several statements in the pa
pers about Postum Food Coflee my
mind was soon made up and it was in
the fall of 1901 that I got a package of
Postum, asking my wife to try it.
"S5he said she did ndt believe it
wot.ld help her, so it was laid aside,
and she suffered all the winter, drink
ing coffee-all the time, until aDout the
firsi of May when she was In terrible
distress.
"One night about our bed lime she
saicl she must have the doctor, but be
fore you go, fix a little Postum and I
will tcy it.'
"So I prepared half a pint of Postum
according to directions, and as soon as
she had drank it she felt warm and
nourished all over, and in a litlle while
her pain was gone. It was liks magic.
For a few meals she used a little coffee
and then a wrangling began in her
stomach each time, so finally she gave
up coffee altogether and used Postum
only. Better and better she got and
grew stronger and finally all the old
disease left."
"Since that time we have us noth
ing but Postum, nor have we had any
occasion to call for the doctor since,
anc. I now advocate Postum ts every
once I meet." Name given by Postum
Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.
So many people say: "Coffee don't
hurt" and then tell you they "know a
{nan 70 years old who has drs.nk It all
his life." That doesn't prove that you
can drink it. "One man's meit is an
other's poison." If coffee agrees and
the drinker keeps well, stick :o it, but
if any kind of ails or disef.se show,
better heed the warning and quit cof
fee.
"There's a reason."
Look in each package for the
famous little book, "The Road to Well
vllle."
