BEDFORD, Ind.. Jan. 24. 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

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.

DEATH OF ASHERIF
Weli-Known Tillamook Offi
cial Kills Himself.
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.

DANGER !N SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follovv Its
Excessive Use.
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.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia TaDieu in an
cases of stomach derangements, and finds
them a. certain cure, not only for .sour
stomach, but, by promptly digesting the
food, they create a healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver. They are not a ca
thartic, but Intended only for stomach dis
eases and weakness, and will be found re
liable In any stomach trouble except can
cer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at 50 cents per package.

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. '
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
makes it thin and watery, whicn irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to Improve tne digestion and to
Insure the prompt assimilation of food.

It is safe to say that the regular, per-
slstent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

' 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. Stuart Company, Marshall,
Mich., and sold by druggists everywhere
at 60 cents per package. '
FREE TO Ml LLfbNsV' '
A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for
the Asking.
Medical books are not always Interesting
reading, especially to people enjoying good
health, but as a matter of fact, scarcely
one person In ten Is perfectly healthy,
and even with such sooner or later sick
ness must come.
It Is also a well-established truth that
nine-tenths of all diseases originate with
a breaking down of the digestion; a weak
stomach weakens and. impoverishes the
system, making it easy for disease to
gain a foothold.
Nobody need fear consumption, kidney
disease, liver trouble, or a weak heart and
nervous system as long as the digestion Is
good and the stomach able to assimilate
plenty of wholesome food.
Stomach weakness shows Itself in a
score of ways, and this little book describes
the symptoms and causes and points the
way to cure 30 simple that any one can
understand and apply.
Thousands have some form of stomach
trouble and do not know It. They ascribe
the headache, the languor, nervousness, In
somnia, palpitation, constipation, and sim
ilar symptoms to some other cause than
the true one. Get your digestion 'on the
right track and the heart trouble, lung
trouble, liver disease, or nervous debility
will rapidly disappear.
This little book, treats enureiy on me
i cause and removal of indigestion and Its
Tt describes the svmntoms of Acid Dys
pepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow Dyspep
sia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia, Catarrh of the
Stomach, and all affilctlons.Qf the digestive
organs in plain language., easily under
stood, and the cause removed.
It gives valuable suggestions as to diet,
and contains a table giving length of time
required to digest various articles of food,
something every person with weak diges
tion should know.
