MARX ADMITS
KILLING FIVE MEN
UGLY RECORD OF CRIME
CONFESSED BY ONE OF THE CAR
BARN BANDITS.
Marx Says That He Was One of
Three Men Who Robbed the Chi
cago and Northwestern Express.
The Company boat *lo2,ooo—Marx
Says the Hobber* Secnred Only
gK.OOO—His Amount of Men He
Killed.
Chicago, March 13.—Gustave Marx,
cne of the three car barn bandits now
under sentence of death, declared in a
confession made to-day that he was
one of the three men who held up the
Chicago and Northwestern express
train at Tower W.. near DeKalb. four
years ago.
The crime, which has passed into his
tory as one of the most desperate ever
committed in or about Chicago, has
never been fastened upon any one of
the suspects arrested, and the identity
of the bandits has remained a mystery
to the police until now.
Marx says both his confederates in
the crime are dead and refuses to give
their names. One of them, he declares,
died “with his boots on.” The railway
authorities admitted a loss of $102,000
by the robbery. Marx said the robbers
secured only SB,OOO, the rest of the
money having been destroyed by the
explosion of dynamite used to crack
tlie safe.
In a sort of foot note to this start
ling confession Marx admits the killing
ot live men in hie career of crime.
“Besides John B. Johnson, killed at
the car barns, Detective Quinn killed at
the time of my arrest and Otto Bauder,
who Rosekl is generally supposed to
have killed, I have killed two other
men,” said Marx.
“Eight years ago Neidermier and I
went to Janesville, Wis., to rob a train
and hid our dynamite alongside the
track. A track walker or railroad de
tective —I have never learned which—
came upon us and asked us what we
were doing there. I shot him, and we
threw his body into the Rock river.
The other man whom I killed 1 had
done criminal w ork with in Michigan. I
met him at Camp Goldfield, Colorado,
when Neidermier and I were there last
fall. He knewtoo much about me and
i killed him and left his body,.:* lying
in the suburbs of the camp. Both these
crimes can be verified by the police.”

SAW MILL MEN MEET.
questions of Interest Are Coming
I'p ttt Jacksonville.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 13.—The
Georgia Interstate Saw Mill Associa
tion will meet in this city
Tuesday morning. The saw mill
men of Florida are deeply in
terested in this meeting, and strong
pressure will be brought to bear to se
cure the adoption of the new rules for
lumber inspection, which were not act
ed on at the last meeting of the associ
ation, held in Valdosta.
At a meeting of saw mill men held
here on March 1, it was decided to urge
the adoption of the new rules by the
Georgia Interstate Association in place
of the rules known as tjie "Savannah
Merchantable.” There will be a warm
contest on this point at the meeting
Tuesday.
Some of the saw mill men who are
members of the association say that if
the new rules are not adopted there will
be a split and the majority of the Flor
ida mill men will withdraw from the
association. The moie conservative
members are of the opinion that every
thing will be satisfactory and that the
association will adopt the new rules.
POLITIC* IK FLORIDA.
Dnvl* Says He Is Reasonably Con
fident of Being Elected.
Tallahassee, Fla., March IS.—Hon.
Robert W. Davis, candidate for Gov
ernor, was in Tallahassee yesterday.
Col. Davis has nothing to say with re
gard to his candidacy aside from the
met that his prospects arb excellent.
He states that he is reasonably con
fident of success.
In county politics there seems to be
a movement, mainly among the coun
try people, to settle definitely on one
°f the numerous candidates for the
various offices and elect him In the
first primary, thus obviating the ne
cessity of a second primary. This ac
tion on the part of the voters of Leon
county would save considerable ex
pense and trouble both to the state
and the candidates for office.

RUSSIANSTROUGHT THEY
HAD A NEW GRIEVANCE.
St. Petersburg, March 13.—The cir
culation here of an untrue report to
the effect that the Washington cabinet
had decided to support the protest of
the commander of the United States
gunboat Helena, now at New Chwang,
against the action of the Russian au
thorities in sinking Chinese junks in
the channel of the Liao river, and that
Washington would notify Russia that
the neutrality of New Chwang must
be respected, has created something of
a flurry.
The Novoe Vremya makes this the
subject of an editorial article entitled,
"More American Meddling,” in which
it is contended that as New Chwang
is within Manchuria and is only six
miles distant from the railroad to Port
Arthur, Russia has a perfect right to
take defensive measures there, and
that unless the United States were
seeking a cause of a quarrel it would
not insist upon supporting the protest
of the commander. Fortunately a de
nial of this story reached here to-night
in time to head off what might have
proved a fresh cause of irritation.
CONFIDENCE SHOWN
IN RUSSIAN REPORTS.
St. Petersburg, March 13.—The confi
dence displayed by the Russian people
in the reports of the government on the
progress of the fighting in the Far
East, which is one of the most notable
features in Russia of the war thus far,
has been largely due to an entire
change of policy inaugurated by the
Emperor some time ago with the aboli
tion of the censorship on foreign news
paper dispatches. This abolition was
followed when the war broke out by
the Bmperor’s decision to make public
as fully as possible all reports regard
ing the war in the belief that the loyal
ty of his subjects would be strengthen
ed by acquainting them with the truth
in victory or defeat. It was an appeal
to the sentimental side of the Russian
character, which has been more than
Justified by the almost instantaneous
effect.
Hitherto the government has con
sidered it unwise to give the people in
formation freely at critical moments,
and the result was that the people, be
ing pessimistic, were often inclined to
imagine things to be much worse than
they really were.
The Associated Press is assured by
a high authority that all official tele
grams always have been given
out accurately. In so far as
their sense was concerned, and
in most cases textually, although
occasionally words have been changed
where the original words were subject
to misconstruction. For instance, in
one case the words “the enemy was at
our heels” were altered to read "the
enemy was behind us,” lest the original
language should give the ignorant the
impression that the Russians were fly
ing before the Japanese.
Even the habitual critics of the gov
ernment have been astonished at the
manner in which the authorities are
taking the people into their confidence
in the war, and this policy of fair deal
ing would seem to be uniting the na
tion as never before in her history.
Gen. ICuropatkin’s open warning to
the people, in his speech to the munici
pal council, not to expect too much at
first, but to exercise patience, is an
evidence of the frankness with which
the people are being treated. The ut
terances of the'General on that occa
sion were commended warmly by the
press, as much better than glittering
promises which might not be redeemed.
SAYS THATtHE GOVERNOR
WAS SLIGHTLY WOUNDED.
Tien Tsin. March 13.—A Russian re
fugee, who arrived here to-day,
throws valuable additional light on
the bombardment of Port Arthur last
Thursday. He says twenty soldiers and
two civilians were killed and three
civilians injured. Col. Vershinin, governor
of Port Arthur, was slightly wounded.
The Japanese used three or four
hundred Russian shells, which they
found on the captured transport Man
churia.
The refugee says only four Japan
ese cruisers were actively engaged.
Besides the Retvlzan, the battleship
Peteropavlov6k received slight damage
from a shot.
The actio/i of Vice Admiral Maka
roff of the armored cruiser Noviak in
taking a portion of the fleet out of the
harbor on Friday morning appealed
to the patriotism and excited the ad
miration of the gorrison.
The food supply of Port Arthur is
reported to be abnormal, though it
is necessary to govern prices by
ordinances. Three merchants have been
•punished for raising prices.

KUROPATKIN RECEIVED
AT ANCIENT CAPITAL.
Moscow', March 13.—The day Gen.
Kuropatkin spent here was marked by
decorations rivalling those in St.
Petersburg. Immediately on arriving
he went to the Sergius monastery,
where he attended a Te Deum. After
this service, lie tvas conducted to the
Abbot’s cell, where he was blesred with
the ancient Ikon of Sergius.
Returning to Moscow, the general
proceeded to the Governor General's
palace, where he spent several hours in
receiving deputations of peasants, mer
chants and nobles, as well as the city
elders, who were headed by the senior
elder of all Russia.
From the palace the General was
driven to the nobles’ assembly rooms,
where he replied to the greeting of
Prince Troubetzkoy, who expressed the
universal confidence in Gen. Kuro
patkin’s leadership.
Gen. Kuropatkin said: “Russia lias
outlived trials many times than
those which have now' fallen to her
lot and ever issued victorious. With
out belittling the difficulties which
confront us or the strength or worth
of our foes we can confidently await
the victorious termination of a fight
which was not begun by us.
“A mighty host already has assem
bled in the Far East by the Em
peror’s order, but if this does not suf
fice the Emperor will send out fresh
forces.
“The prayers of Moscow and of Rus
sia will maintain us and give us
strength to stand up for Russia’s in
terests in the Far East; w'e w'ill not
spare life or health in the service of
the Emperor and the country.
“Representatives of Moscow, accept
the most humble thanks of the Man
churian army for your warm greetings
and prayers. The Ikons are not taken
away for me alone, hut for the whole
army, and as soon as I reach the Far
East 1 will tell Viceroy Alexieti and
the troops of the farewell tendered me
by Moscow and Russia. ,
“I hope and pray that I shall be vic
torious. I wish you good health and
prosperity.”
Turning to the Governor General of
Moscow, Gen. Kuropatkin said:
"I will conclude by asking you to
join me in three cheers for the Em
peror."
A mighty hurrah greeted the General's
closing words.
Gen. Kuropatkin dined on board his
private car and left at 8 o’clock this
evening for the Far East amid popular
demonstrations.
IT IS SAID MEDIATION
MAY SOON BE TRIED.
Paris, March 14.—The Figaro this
morning prints an interview with a
person of much importance in the
diplomatic world, who declares that al
though the recent rumors of probable
mediation beween Russia and Japan
are premature, the positive denials of
these rumors are equally baseless.
“I can assure you,” this person says,
"that favored by the comparative calm
which prevails at this moment, a most
active exchange of views is going on
between European cabinets.
“The chancellories have begun to
play the part of 'international firemen,’
in other words, they are trying to re
strict tho spread of the conflagration
and to protect adjoining states."
After referring to the wild rpmors
circulated of late, the informant of the
Figaro said in conclusion: f
“One thing remains certain; namely,
the new and striking affirmation of the
close friendship uniting Nicholas II and
King Edward VII. Everywhere peace
is desired and governments are work
ing for it with all their strength."
ALL MANCHURIA IS

NEWS OF THE FAR EAST
AS LONDON GETS IT.
Reports of llie Damage Hone Port
Arthur by the Japanese Fire.
London, March 14.—The rumor of the
evacuation of Port Arthur is repeated
this morning from different points, hut
it is absolutely without confirmation.
According to the St. Petersburg corre
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, vague
rumors are current there that later
telegrams describe the bombardment
of Port Arthur as much more serious
than has been admitted ofticially.
Special dispatches from Tokio and
Yin Kow also give reports of heavy
Russian casualties at Port Arthur,
amounting to forty men killed and 100
wounded, but they are so conflicting in
details that it is not wise to give uiem
much credence.
In a dispatch from Tokio, dated
March 13, a correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says that in the latest at
tack on Port Arthur, two Russian tor
pedo boat destroyers were sunk and
great damage was done to the docks,
forts and arsenals, including the ex
plosion of a powder magazine.
Dalny is reported to have been al
most entirely destroyed; several guns
there were dismounted, and the crews
of four torpedo boats in the inside har
bor are said to have deserted.
The Daily Telegraph publishes a dis
patch from a correspondent at Yin
Kow w-ho reports that the Russian
battleship Retvizan at Port Arthur
was hit five times by Japenese pro
jectiles and that there were tw'enty
casualties on board.
This correspondent declares further
that the presence of Japanese at Feng-
Huan-Cheng (the Manchurian town
about forty-five miles northwest of
WIJu) has been confirmed.
The Yin Kow correspondent of the
Dally Mail reports that serious dis
putes occur daily between the Russian
naval and military officials at Port
Arthur, the latter reproaching the for
mer with incompetency and cow'ardice.
Gen. Stoessel (in command at Port
Arthur) has been ordered to the Yalu,
the correspondent concludes, and he
will be replaced by Gen. Smirnoff.
In a dispatch from Che Foo, dated
March 12, a correspondent of the
Daily Mail describes an Inspection of
Port Arthur made on the 11th instant
from a boat. The new city seemed to
be on fire: three colums of smoke
were ascending from it. The Bread
Hill fort appeared to have suffered
terribly; the defences were shatter
ed and the earthworks torn up. No
guns were visible. The line of forts
on the Tiger's Tall also appeared to
have suffered damage. At sunrise no
signs of life could be seen anywhere,
and Port Arthur looked like a city of
death.
Special dispatches from Port Arthur
say there are rumors among the
Chinese population that the projected
Japanese descent on the Liao Tung
peninsula is Imminent.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Dally Chronical reports that 10,000
Japanese are nearing New Chwang.
The Times publishes a dispatch
from Seoul, dated March 11, in which
the correspondent confirms previous re
ports that it is the intention of Japan
to wait until the ice breaks up before
making laryje disembarkations, in
order to avoid difficulties on the roads.
Some time is likely to elapse before
any great achievement Is attempted.
tan Get the Laborer*.
London, March 13.—The Colonial Of
fice issued a statement to-night con
firming the explanation received from
Johannesburg to the effect that King
Edward’s decision regarding the Asiatic
labor importation ordinance will not
prevent the Transvaal from proceed
ing with the execution of the ordinance
forthwith, the suggested delay in the
matter meaning only that certain ne
gotiations have to be completed with
the Chinese government before laborers
can be shipped.

Pekin, March 13.—The reports that

I’BHIB ITCHIJO TO LEAVE.
He, Too, Was Approached, It I*
Said, by Martin.
Paris, March 13.—1 t is affirmed in
Paris that Prince Itchijo. naval attache
to the Japanese legation, will leave
France shortly as a result of a con
ference between Foreign Minister
Delcasse and M. Motomo, the Japanese
minister, on the subject of the Martin
treason case.
Martin, a non-commissioned officer
pow under arrest, who was employed
in the Ministry of Marine, is said to
have attempted to sell French naval
secrets to the predecessor of Prince
Iltchijo and to have approached the
Prince to the same end.

MAY FORM A‘GREAT
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Washington, March 13. —A plan has
been suggested to unite the Columbian,
American and National Universities of
the District of Columbia to form the
nucleus of a great national university
at the capital. The trustees of the
American University, with its endow
ment of over $2,000,000 and its tract of
ground in the northwestern Suburbs,
have discussed the project. Bishop
McCabe, the head of the university, has
spoken favorably of the idea.
President Needham of the Columbian
University, and a number of the other
officers of that institution have ex
pressed a willingness to meet the Amer
ican University people and consider the
project. The National University of
ficials are favorable. It is entirely
probable that within the next few
months that such a meeting of the dif
ferent interests will be had.

An Appetite Like
a Hired Man’s
Will Surely and Swiftly Follow the
Use of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
You Will Enjoy Being Hungry
Again and Be Happy
When You Eat.
THE REASONS WHY THEY CURE DYSPEPSIA.
People who have never lived on a
farm and witnessed the gastronomic
feats of a hungry hired man have cer
tainly missed a sight for gods and
men. After six long hours of good,
hard, hot work In the harvest field,
he gets his feet under a well-laden
table and woe be unto the good things
thereon. The manner in which he
stows away the fat of the land is no
delusion. Yellow-legged fried chickens,
green peas, new potatoes, good corn
bread, hunks of fresh butter, cherry
pies, and numerous other wholesome
and substantial articles of diet disap
pear one after the other in rapid and
regular succession. That meal is well
worth ail the hours of hard work he
has put in to earn it. and many a
man who is regarded as being more
fortunate than he, would pay hand
somely for the hired man’s capacity
to enjoy such a meal. A stomach like
his would be worth a fortune of any
man’s money, who suffers the' constant
and continuous pangs of dyspepsia.
Such a stomach every one can have,
rich and poor alike, and for a price
that is within the reach of all.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dyspeptic’s certain relief throughout
the regions of the earth. They act
in a natural, mild, but firm, determin
ed manner, and never fail to cure dys
pepsia. They do the work of your
stomach for you, and digest your food
Just as your stomach used to when it
was well. You can prove this by put
ting your food into a glass jar with
one of the Tablets and sufficient water
and you will see the food digested
In Just the same time as the digestive
fluids of the stomach would do It.
That will satisfy your mind. Now',
to satisfy both your mind and body,
take one of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab
lets after eating—eat all and what you
want—and you will feel In your mind
that your food is being digested be
cause you will feel no disturbance or
weight in your stomach: in fact, you
will forget all about having a stom
ach Just as you did when you were
a healthy boy or girl.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets act In a
natural way because they contain on
ly the natural elements of the gastric
Juices and other digestive fluids of
the stomach. It makes no difference
what condition the stomach is in, they
go right ahead of their own accord
and do their work. They know their
business, and surrounding conditions
do not Influence them in the least.
They thus relieve the weak stomach
of all Its burdens and give It its mueh
needed rest and permit It to become
strong and healthy. Nature restores
and rebuilds the wasted tissues of the
stomach Just as she restores any other
injured tissues of the body, or a brok
en bone, when not Interfered with.
All Interference with Nature’s work
of restoration is entirely prevented by
the use of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab
lets.

own doetor is real honest with you, he
will tell you frankly that there Is
nothing on earth so good for dyspepsia
as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
RICH MEN ARE
NOT ALL HAPPY
Croesus, King of Lydia. Had Trou
ble* of Ills Own, and There
Are Others.
Croesus, the John D. Rockefeller of
the kingdom of Lydia, was very well
to-do In worldly goods and chattels.
"As rich as Croesus” is a saying about
2,500 years old. He had his troubles,
however, and some of them were full
grown. He was taken captive once by
Cyrus and only saved himself from
being burned alive by quoting a say
ing of Solon, the Sage. He finally had
to flee his kingdom for parts unknown.
Many of the rich man’s troubles to
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds of rich, heavy foods
at irregular times, lack of proper ex
ercise, undue mental strain, unnat
ural stimulants, etc., and are com
monly known as indigestion, dyspep
sia and weak stomach. They are se
rious troubles all right, but not only
can they be avoided but can alao be
cured, and that without loss of time
or proper food and nourishment.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief of dyspeptics, rich and
poor alike. There is no such a thing
as stopping their onward progress
now. A great nation has placed its
stamp of approval upon their noble
work. The thousands upon thousands
of cures they have effected and the
happiness resulting therefrom have

A HOUSE DIVIDED
AGAINST ITSELF.
— - i
When the St/mi.'ich Declares War
Against the Rest of the Body
There Is Always Plenty
of Trouble.
A Safe and Certain Cure In Reach of
All.
There is very little comfort or hap
piness on this earth for the individual
whose stomach is at war with all the
other organs of his body. The human
body is called the habitation of the
soul, but both body and soul suffer
greatly when the stomach refuses to
act in harmony with the rest of the
system and dyspepsia is established.
The functions of all the body and the
brain itself are so Intimately dependent
on those of the stomach that, when
that organ, for any reason, ceases to
Perform Its duties, the trouble becomes
general and great mental and bodily
suffering always results. Under such
conditions there is only one thing to
do and only one way to do It. The
stomach must be pacified, and pacified
In the right way.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are the
only safe, reliable, certain remedy for
all stomach troubles. The reason Is.
they are the only perfectly natural
remedy. They perform the digestive
work of the stomach Just as the stom
ach did when It was able to do It In
exactly the same way. Their principal
component elements are identical with
those of the gastric Juice and other di
gestive fluids of the stomach. They do
the work of the stomach In a natural
way without causing any disturbance,
and thus permit that organ to rest and
recuperate and grow strong and well.
That Is what they do and that’s the
way they do It. Anybody can under
stand it and anybody suffering from
dyspepsia or any stomach trouble can
always get safe and certain and nat
ural relief from Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box.
Buy a box and then go and eat a good
square meal and then take a tablet and
note the result. You will forget all
about It If you are not careful, for
there will be no pain nor disturbance
and the food will be digested Just as
It used to he when your stomach was
well and strong. Furthermore, your
stomach will soon be well and strong
again if you keep on taking them. Just
as thousands upon thousands of other
stomachs are from the sole and exclu
sive use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
PERFECT HEALTH
can be had only in
connection with perfect
digestion. When the
food is properly digested*
the blood carries the
nutriment to all parts of
the body and the process
of assimilation and repair
is kept up uniformly* re
sulting in healthy organs
and members.
STUART'S
Dyspepsia Tablets
guarantee perfect diges
tion* no matter what
the condition of the
stomach is. The reason
is plain. They them
selves digest the food
and permit the stomach
to rest and get well*
