What might have been a very serious
runaway was stopped before any damage
was done this morning. Mrs. Knglish,
who lives near the fairground, was driv

short distance above the Methodist
church, the horse began to run. Mrs.
English was holding one of her children
in her lap, which prevented her from
handling tho lines to any advantage.
She held on to the lines until Second
street was reached, when, with the as

be on the spot, the horse was luckily
stopped.

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.

The guests began to nssemble at 8
o'clock in the Btntll hall, nnd after the
Bed Men finished their tribal affairs for
that sun, they graciously snrmiilored
their hall so that they might have suffi
cient room for tho large crowd which at
tended the exercises. Tho program was
just lengthy enough to sharpen tho ap
petito of the young .for the enure that
was forthcoming. Every number of the
program was good and showed unusual
care In selection.
Tho music commiltco took charge of
the floor after tho entertainment was
over, and the dance was on, being en
joyed by young and old until 12, when
the guests departed, well pleased with
the entertainment and hoping the Sons
of Veterans will give another in tho
near future.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE IDEA
OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA AND STOM
ACH TROUBLE.
Klitlcule, However, is Sot Arcuineut,
and Facts are Stubborn Thtugs.
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.
They aro sold bj dinggists everywhere
at 60 cents per package, Address Stuait
