MAIER & BENTON THROUGH A CHIMNEY. Convict Escapes From the Penitentiary tit Salem Despite tho vigilance of pen'tontiai y officials since the enforced idleness of prisoners by reason of the shutting down of the foundry three weeks ago, it was discovered Monday morning that Con vict Charles Kenedy escaped Sunday night, It was one of tho mo9t ulover escapes ever made from the Oregon stale penitentiary. Kenedy drilled a hole through his iron cell, made the chimney large enough to crawl through by removing bricks from the thick wall, cut through tho tin roof and swung from the top of the 'main building to to front yard by means of a rope made of blankets.To reach the roof he had to dig through about twenty-four feet of brick. Following the course of a small aperture made the work consider ably easier. It must have have taken some time to accomplished the work, yet suspicion was not aroused until he failed to an swer to roll call. Khinohart, his call-mate, a noted bur glar, was left behind without either clothes or blankets, Kenedy having car ried them to tho roof, while Khinehart was too largo for tho aperture. Kenedy was sentenced from Washing ton county in 1S95, to ten years for as sault with a deadly weapon. Soiih of Vetcmiih' Kiitertulinnent. Tho entertainment given by Vnrney Camp.

Stomach troubles are so common and in many cases bo obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to bo a radical, per manent cure for dyspepsia and indiges tion. Many such pride themselves on never being humbugged, especially on medicinps. This fear of being humbugged may be carried too far ; so far, in fact, that many persons suffer for years with weak di gestion, rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims of a preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuarts Dyspop 8ia Tablets. Now Stuart's Dyspopsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for tho reason that they aro not a eecret patent medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shown them to contain the natural digestive ferment?, pure aseptic pepsin, tho di gestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hy drastis, and mix. They are not cathar tic, neithor do they net powerfully on any orpan, but they cure indigestion on tiie common sense plan of digesting the food eaten promptly, thoroughly before it haa time to ferment, hour anl cause tho mischief. This in the only secret of their success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cmo indigestion and stomach troubles bec.iusu they act entirely upon the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in tho stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af ter meals, digests tho food. That is nil there is to it. Food not digested or half digested Is poison, as it creates gas, acid ity, headaches, palpitation of tho heart, loss of flesh ami nppotlto, and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
