The mysteri ous murder of Miss Schafer remains un solved. A well-known man of this city, who is a member of the senior class at the State University at Bloomington, was closeted today with dotectlvcs. He ex plained his whereabouts on the night of the murder. The reason for the Investigation, it Is alleged, was a story told by Miss Senator's roommate and corroborated by their land lady, that the younfe man was requested on one occasion to leave Miss Schater's room because of objectionable conduct The letter written to Chicago by Miss Schafer was to Mrs. Frank Cross, her sister. In this letter, according to Mrs. Smith and "Miss Love, who Toomed with MIbs Schafer. the dead girl complained of the conduct of this young man in at tempting to kiss her, and It was in reply to this letter that Mrs. Cross wrote: "I wish you had strength to hurl him down " LINOTYPE MACHINES PROBABLE Their Use In the Government Print ing Office Looked For. (From Washington Dispatch to New,Tork Tribune. ) It is not considered Improbable that lino typo machines will bo Introduced In tho Government printing office in the not dis tant future. This would complete the per fection of mechanical equipment for that huge printing plant, for in all its other branches labor-saving machinery has been Installed. The subject will bo thoroughly investigated next month by a subcommit tee of the Houso committee on appropria tions in connection with tho consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. Members of this subcommittee have been Klvlng the subject serious consideration w'th a view to determining whether the in troduction of the linptype machine would facilitate the enormous work of the Gov ernment printing office, which increases at tho rate of 10 per cent a year. The action of tho committee will, of course, be based on the investigations already made and the arguments to be submitted at the hearing. The Washington Typographical Union is outspoken against any proposition looking to the installation of machines In tho Gov ernment printing- office, but in its opposi tion it stands alone among; the typograph ical unions of the country. Its antagonism took practical form whon, at a meeting held on December 27, a secret committee cf 25 was appointed to fight the proposi tion in Congress. The plan of campaign, it is understood, has been mapped out and "will consist of a personal appeal to Rep resentatives In Congress bv the members of this committee, pointing out to them the political risks they would run should they favor the proposition. They will urge that to vote for the introduction of so great a labor-saving device as the lino type machine In the Government printing office would be political suicide, for it would antagonize the labor olement and result in the subsequent defeat for re nomination or re-oloctlon of the members io voting. Little capital can be manufactured out o a campaign of intimidation, for the fal lacy of tho argument is so apparent that It will hardly have tho effect desired. Rep resentatives are at all times thoroughly in touch with the conditions existing In their districts, and we are aware that linotype machines not only are used In the offices of every dally newspaper published In the United States, with one exception, but that the various typographical Unions hav ing met the machine question as some thing inevitable have made machine scales and entered into contracts with publishers "using- linotypes. This has resulted in the unionizing of newspaper printing offices in various parts of the country, and members of Congress feel that under these condi tlons a vote for the ..Installation of ma- chines that would promote efficiency and decrease cost In tho great printing plant could not' alienate' the labor element- -an-' less that element should, repudiate Its own records. , POPPING THE ftTTESTIOir JJJ 1904 A Year in Which Proposing Is the Woman's Prerogative. Chicago Chronicle. The new year is a leap year, but the addition of another day to the month of February Is by no means Its most im portant peculiarity. For during this year, according to immemorial tradition, it will be good form for women if they choose to propose matrimony to men Instead of waiting for men to propose it to them. Most people of either sex would say without a moment's hesitation that this leap year tradition had never been a leap year custom and that It was either a Joke or an absurdity without a thing in reason or in human mature to support it. But, that is going too far, for there is no folklore of any description, whether song-, riddle or proverb, that is not, ,ln the last analysis, -founded on some immutable principle of human nature, and so it is with women popping the question in leap year. The principle of human nature on which this leap year tradition is founded is the paradoxical one that, while the verbal and external proposition of marriage proceeds from the man. every perfectly normal and happy matrimonial match has its Initiative in the heart of the woman. There are many kinds of courtship and marriage, but no marriage is ever a happy one un less tho woman courts the man, albeit without his knowing It. There Is a profound and Important rea son why this must be so. It is woman's naturer not only In affairs of the heart, but in everything else, to. be unable to change her spontaneous tastes and prefer ences. Her likes.' and dislikes display a remarkable fixity. She does not make them and she cannot unmake them. Whether it be in the realm of cookery, art. music, dress, amusement, friendship or love, this principle controls her. She can be dragooned away temporarily from her natural bent, but she is then a crushed woman, and sooner or later she will revert to her original- Impulse. One may say it is exactly the same with a man, but It Is not. A man's prefer ences are largely a matter of ratiocina tion. They are modified by argument, by expediency, by considerations of Interest, by his conceptions of duty by his Ideas of prudence. This makes his heart. In mat ters of love, a sort of chessboard on which all these feelings contend for the mastery. He is capable of loving a wom an for a great variety of reasons besides the involuntary admiration called falling in love. It is on account of this essential differ ence between men and women that the woman's preference Is the thing mainly to be considered if marriage Is to be. stable and happy. -Happy is tho man, therefore whose wife by mere Instinct pitched upon him as her Ideal and woe to the man whose wife was swerved from her Instinctive choice by the advice of parents, the love of money or any other Influence to wed him. This is the reason that It Is folly for a man to set out to win a woman's heart at least, by devotion. The only wise thing he can do in this line is to stand around, accidentally and unconsciously, as it were, and let her do the rest. A fair woman who has been begged and entreated to love a man untill she has consented is not worth having, for she will most assuredly make him miserable. It Is the woman who has courted the man who makes a happy marriage and a happy home. It Is certainly a most singular thing that while this is the eternal law and Inevita ble course of true love it should still be contrary to Nature for a woman to pro pose to a man In words. Yet so It Is, and courtship forever remains the man'B in form and the woman's In spirit Both In leap year and in every other year the woman virtually proposes in every happy marriage. BURGLARY ON EAST SEDE. Thieves Ransack House, but Secure Little of Value. Several trifling articles of Jewelry and a pair of women's stockings made up the booty stolen by burglars from the home of G. K. Miller, 593 East Ankeny street, yes terday evening. The exact time the burglary occurred Is not known. Mr. Miller and family left their home early yesterday afternoon, and upon their return yesterday evening at 9 o'clock found a sad state of affairs. Every thing in the house had been ransacked, and the only articles that found favor with the thieves were trifles of little value. A window at the back furnished the entrance to the building. The case was reported to the police, but careful Investigation failed to reveal any clew to the thieves' Identity. Raised Fund to Buy Pictures. SALEM, Jan. 24. (Special.) Through the efforts of a number of public-spirited citizens of Salem, led by City Superin tendent L. R. Travcr, a fund of $S00 has been raised for the purpose of of pur chasing pictures to be hung upon the walls of the schoolrooms In this city. The pictures are large-size photographic reproductions of famous paintings, and will be well framed, so as to constitute a permanent decoration for the schools. The purpose Is to make the rooms more pleasant in appearance and cultivate in the children an appreciation of good pic tures. The fun was raised by means of a scries of exhibits and entertainments. Some of the best of the pictures to be purchased were hung upon tho walls of the exhibit room, and a popular programme was given for the entertainment of those who attended. A small admission lee. 10 to 15 cents, was charged. In addition to this, a number of men and women have con tributed from 51 to 515 each for the pur chase of pictures. Governor Chamber lain, ex-Governor Geer and Superintend ent of Public Instruction Ackerman de livered addresses at the entertainments and aided very materially In promoting the success of . the movement. When the pictures have been placed upon the walls of Salom schoolrooms, this city will have the most attractive schools in the state. Bay City Store Robbed. TILLAMOOK. Or., Jan. 24.

A -BULLET IN "HIS MOUTH Despondent From Financial Troubles, Henry H. Alderman Ends His Life-Mind Doubtless Un balanced. TILLAMOOK, Or., Jan. 24. (Special.) Henry H. Alderman, Sheriff of Tillamook County, shot himself in his own barn early this morning, death resulting in stantly. Sheriff Alderman had been seriously ill for more than a month and in addition to bis physical troubles there had arisen unfortunate gossip growing out of a dis pute with accountants regarding a dis crepancy in his books, which he declared he could and would make good In full. Combined with his ill-health, his finan cial troubles apparently unsettled the Sheriff's mind temporarily, and he became despondent. When ho arose this morn ing he had apparently no thought of com mitting the deed, as he at once began the usual routine. About 7:30 this morning he got up and awakened the hired girl. Then he appar ently went Immediately to the barn, a short distance away. When the girl went to the barn half an hour after to milk she noticed blood stains upon the ground floor. Going to tho upper floor she dis covered the body of Sheriff Alderman ly ing prostrate upon the boards. Evidently when alone in the barn his despondent condition had reached Its climax, and prompted by his characteristic Impetuous nature, he had committed the deed in stantly. The pistol from which he had sent a bullet into his mouth was lying a few Inches away. Sheriff Alderman was about 40 years of age. He had lived In Tillamook County formany years, and had held the office of Sheriff for the past seven years. A month ago he made a trip to the southern part of the county, and there was taken sick, from which ' he never fully recov ered. He left a wife and one child, a girl of 11 years. The dead Sheriff was a member of the Masonic Order, as well as of the Odd fellows, Knights of Pythias, Woodmen of the World and Ancient Order of United Workmen. He has one brother, W. P. Alderman, residing In this county. The financial troubles reached their height on last Friday, when a warrant was made out for his arrest, it being alleged that his accounts were $7000 short. By his residence of many years In Tilla mook County Sheriff Alderman had ac quired property worth considerably more than the sum said to be missing. He also carried a heavy life Insurance. He had declared that he was able to fully pay for any unconscious error Jn his books, and If the report of the accountants Is confirmed, this will be done. A num ber of friends have stood by him faith fully, never doubting his integrity. MURDERER CASHIEL CAUGHT. Police Discover Him Within a Few Miles of Winnipeg. WINNIPEG, Manitoba. Jan. 24. Ernest Cashlel, the condemned murderer who es caped from the Calgary police garrison a few, days before the date set" for his exe cution in December last, was caught by the police today a few miles from here. He Is supposed to have been hiding In an old cellar since his escape. Cashlel is now In the guardhouse. Ernest Cashlel, the youJg murderer and desperado who escaped recently from Cal gary. N. W. T., while awaiting execution for the murder of a Canadian officer, en tered upon his criminal career In Northern Wyoming three years ago. Cashlel was only 18 years old then, but he was one of the shrewdest and most desperate crimi nals that ever infested that region. Cashlel's first crime was the theft of a watch from Attorney M. B. Camplln, of Buffalo, Wyo. Cashlel was arrested, and while awaiting trial escaped from the County Jail at Buffalo In a most Ingeni ous manner. For several days he com plained of feeling 111. His muscles both ered him, Jtre said, and he was permitted to spend much of his time In the corridor. One night Cashlel, after placing a dummy in his cell, crawled on top of the cage. He was not seen by the Jailer when he was locked up for the night, and during the midnight hours Cashlel sawed off the bars of a window opening on a back street. He then broke Into the Sheriffs office, secured a rifle and some ammunition, and made his way into the mountains. While in the mountains Cashlel again rosorted to a shrewd move to evade cap ture. He tied back one of his fingers, ban daged It carefully and covered the ban dage with the blood from a rabbit he had killed. He told the mountaineers that he had accidentally shot off one of his fin gers. A few months later Cashlel was ar rested at Casper, but as he did not answer the description of the fugitive in that thore were no missing digits, he was re leased. Cashlel was next arrested In Kansas, and Sheriff Kennedy, of Buffalo, started after him, but the wily youth again eluded tho officers by crawling through a water- closet and escaping. He was next heard from in Northwest Territory, where he was arrested for cattle-stealing and forg ery. While awaiting- trial he overpowered the jailer, killed the Sheriff and made his escape, and it is for this crime that he has been sentenced to die.

NO FAITH CUR N About Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They Core Stomach Troubles and I digestion, Anyway, Whether You HaVe Faith in Them or Not. All physicians agree that the element of faith has a. great deal to do in the cure of disease. Firm, belief and confidence in a family physician or the same confidence and faith In a patent medicine havo produced re- marKaote cures in an ages. This is especially true in nervous troubles, and no field offers so prolific a ' fectlve digestive preparation, like Stuart's harvest for the quack and charlatan as , Dyspepsia Tablets, which may bo found at the diseases arising from a weak or run- j moat drugstores, and which contain valu down nervous system. I able, harmless digestive elements in a Nevertheless, the most common of all t pleasant, convenient form. diseases, indigestion and stomach troubles, heart troubles, consumption, and loss of flesh, requires something besides faith to cure. Mero faith will not digest your food for f ou. will not give you an appetite, will not ncrease your flesh and strengthen your nerves and heart, but Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things, because they are composed of the elements of digestion: they contain the Juices, acids and peptones necessary to the digestion and assimilation of all wholesome food. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest food if placed In a Jar Or bottle in' water heated to SS degrees, and they will do It much more effectively when taken into the stomach after meals, whether you have raitn mat tney will or not. They invigorate the stomach, make pure j blood and strong nerves In the only way that nature can do it, and that is from flenty of wholesome food, well digested, t is not what we eat, but what we digest that does us good.

Common soda Is all right in Its place, and indispensable In the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never Intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret It. We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almost dally, and one which is fraught with dan ger; moreover, the soda only gives tempo rary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and, worse. The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels, and cases are on record where It accumulated in the Intestines, causing death by in flammation or peritonitis. Dr. Harlanson recommends as the safest arid surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists uhder the name of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large, 20-graln lozenges, very pleasant to taste, and contain the natural acids, peptones, and digestive elements essential to' good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before It has had time to ferment, sour. and poison the blood and nervous system.

Mich. ONLY ONE WAY TO PUR1FYTHE BLOOD, I NCREASE FLESH AND STRENGTH, AND TO CURE INDIGESTION. SECRET PATENT MEDICINES WILL NOT DO IT. There Is a Simpler and Better Way. There is only one way to purify the blood, only one way to Increase flesh, and that is through the stomach and digestive organs. Why? Because the stomach and digestive i i organs make blood and flesh, bone, nerves. 1 and sinew. Did you ever see a person : ; uiaacu n-iu a. iicuiuij. unuwuii oiu.ucu.. ' and dltrestlon Who had ImDure blood, mud blessed with a healthy, vigorous stomach hy. sallow complexion, or who had weak nerves, sleemess nlKhts and the thousand and one pains and aches arising from poor j digestion? No, because perfect digestion j converts tho food eaten into nure blood. . strong nerves, and muscles, and all the symmetry and beauty. Every person knows whether or not his or her digestion is what It should be, but every person does not know what is the safest and best way to secure and pre serve a healthy condition of the digestive organs. It is not done by the use of any wonderful secret patent medicine, but by the use of certain harmless digestive prin ciples, which, taken at meals, will digest the food anyway, regardless of the weak confiltlon of Uie.stoma.cn. Dr. Brooks recommends a combination of vegetable essences, fruit salts, pure asep- tic pepsin and Golden Seal, prepared in convenient taDiex lorm, ana soia Dy a rug gists everywhere under the name, of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These nleasant tasting tablets are to be dissolved in the mouth after each meal, and, mingling in the food In the stomach, digest It perfectly. There is nothing won derful about this. Any physician of chem- l T V.t . at..n)a nmi-ancla OVitOo.. will do this because repeatedly tested and , proved, and thousands of cured dyspeptics ! havo found it to be true also. 1 Dr. Harlandson states that these tablets Increase flesh because- they digest flesh- . forming food like eggs, meat arid ordinary everyday food; for the same reason they ; purify the blood and .strengthen weak t nerves. In no other way can It be done, j because flesh, blood and nerves are ob tained from tho food wo eat. "Dr. Jennlson once stated that he believed a 60-cent package of Stuart's DysoeDsIa . Tablets would give more real benefit than $50 worth of ordinary doctor's fee3. These tablets may be found at any drug store. HEART DISEASE. SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES. Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look for the Cause. Heart troubles, at least among Ameri cans, arc certainly Increasing, and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion. Real organic heart disease is incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same sreat nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu mogastrlc , In anotner way aiso me neari is aneciea 1 by that form of poor digestion whict I causes gas and fermentation from half- . digested food; there Is. a feeling of 1 oppression and heaviness in the chest, ' caused by pressure of theJIstended stom- ach on the heart and W2ss. interfering j with their action; henciTartee palpitation and short breath.

BECOME ' A FEW SIMPLE RULES. Flesh, and Not Fat, Is What Needed. is , Wha- thin people want is flesh, and not fat. To be symmetrical and properly pro portioned every person should have a cer tain amount of flesh. To be plump does not necessarily mean to be fat. Fat is un desirable; it clogs and retards the action of every muscle, interferes with the healthy action of the heart and lungs, and when excessive predisposes to fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say noth ing -of the discomfort, more or less, result ing from excessive adipose1 tissue. Common sense would suggest that if one wishes to become fleshy and plump, the thing most needed would be flesh-forming foods; in other words, albuminous foods, like eggs, beef, oatmeal, etc. The kinds of food that make flesh are the foods that form the greater part of our dally bill of fare. Now. the only reason so many people remain thin t$ because their stomachs do not properiy and completely digest and as similate the flesh-forming beefsteak and eggs we eat every day. There are thousands of such people, and they are really dyspeptic, although they may not suffer any particular pain or In convenience from their stomachs. If such persons would take., with their meals, some preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the food would be quickly digest ed, and the proper degree of plumpness very soon secured, because these tablets are prepared exactly for that purpose. They will digest every variety of flesh forming food, which Is the sole reason why they so quickly build up and strength en tnin, dyspeptic men ana women. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspep sia and every form of Indigestion on this common-sense plan, that they digest the food promptly, giving strength to every nerve and organ of the body, while at the same time the stomach has a chance to 1 rest and recover its natural vigor. Noth- ing further Is required to cure any stom ach trouble, or to make thin, dyspeptic people strong, plump ana wen. . This excellent preparation Is manufac tured by F. A.
