depend on the Kidneys and Liver. If
you have pains everywhere and at all
times in your back, and in.your head, a
dull, heavy, tired sensation, you are
sick and miserable—cross and unhappy.
Your pains indicate trouble—growing trouble. They may be the fore-
runner of Rheumatism, or Lumbago, or Diabetes, Jaundice, or Brights
Disease of the Kidneys. Statistics prove that nearly all ills originate from
a disordered Liver or diseased Kidneys, or both. These much abused
organs are unable to perform the work imposed upon them until they have
regained their normal condition of health.
In the effort to obtain relief, don’t use liniments or lotions. Rubbing the
muscles and joints may temporarily ease the pain or drive it into some other
part of the body. You are not curing the disease by external applications. Con-
stitutional treatment is necessary.
Take a vegetable remedy only. Mineral remedies, that are almost univers-
ally prescribed, fail to cure, because they weaken the digestion, thus impairing
instead of building up.
DR. McLEAN’S
LIVER AND KIDNEY BALM
cures Kidneys and Liver, and tones the stomach. During the one-half century
of its use it has cured hopeless cases. If you are one of the many who have
become disheartened by repeated failures with other remedies, don’t despair.
A bottle ($1,00) will convince you that Health and Happi ness can still be yours.
It’s purely vegetable. It’s absolutely safe. At your druggist’s.

Broke Into J. Lieberman’s Office and
Got Nothing ..for 'dis Pains.
Some burglar ibToke into the office
of J. Liebermanns on 22d street near
Market, last night and made a very
large water haul. In fact the burglar-
izing party did mat get as much as a
5-cent piece for his pains. Entrance
into the office was effected by smash-
ing one of the windows in the show-
case of a jewelry establishment that
has a store in the same room with Mr.
Liebermann. Xl
When Mr. Liebermann arrived at
his place of business this morning and
saw the glass broken he surmised at
once what had transpired, but was not
the least bit uneasy about the valu-
ables he had stored in his safe.
The big safe in the back part of the
office Is one of the best burglar proof
safes in Galveston. Mr. Liebermann
purchased it from the United States
custom house here. The safe was sold
because it in some way got fastened
and would not work. Such a thing as
sending a drill through the steel cas-
ing is well nigh impossible. After he
purchased the safe Mr. Liebermann
-opened it by using electricity, and
even then it took two whole days be-
fore a hole could be boredi.
After ransacking the office of Mr.
Liebermann the thief went upstairs
and broke into the offices of the phy-
sicians there, but nothing of value
was found. There is, of course, no

Buffeted by Gales for 137 Days on Voyage

New York, Dec. 30.—One hundred and
thirty-seven days at sea, during which
time two of her crew were buried and a
score or more gales encountered to im-
peril the lives of the survivors, is the
record of the ship Paul Revere, which
has just arroved from Japan via Cape
Horn. August 14th the Revere, of which
Captain Wilson is the skipper, sailed
away from Kobe for New York. On the
Pacific the weather was ideal, but soon
after the Horn was turned gales, prin-
cipally from the northeast, began to gath-
er, following each other in rapid succes-
sion. On October 17th a young sailor
from Providence, R. I., named Mils Mjel-
strom, while perched on the foretopsail
yard, lost his balance and fell to the

died shortly afterward. 'The other death

organ, causing palpitation, irregular
and lungs, causing palpitation, irregular-
ity and shortness of breath.
The danger from this condition is' that,
the continued disturbance of the heart
sooner or later may cause real organic
heart trouble and in fact frequently does
so.
Furthermore, poor digestion makes the
blood thin and watery and deficient in red
corpuscles, and this farther irritates and
weakens the heart.
The most sensible thing to do for heart
trouble is to insure the digestion and as-
similation of the food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and ef-
fective digestive preparation, like Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found
at most drug stores and which contain
the necessary digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient, form.
Thousands of people keep well and vig-
orous by keeping their digestion perfect
by observing the rulb of taking one or
two of these tablets after each meal, or
at least after each hearty meal.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets contain U.
S. P. pepsin, diastase from malt and othei’

food, digesting it perfectly and prevent-
ing acidity, gases, and the many diseased
conditions which. accompany a weak

There has been a persistent rumor in
Galveston during the past two weeks to
the effect that Marsene Johnson was con-
templating instituting legal proceedings
to set aside the act of the legislature
creating the Galveston commission char-
ter. Mr. Johnson was seen by a Tribune
reporter this morning, and he entered a
Vigorous denial to the statement. He says
there is a considerable difference between
applying to- the courts to right certain
allged wrongs that are committed by
the commission and attacking that body
in its entirety.
He says he is not now nor has he ever
been employed, nor does he expect to be
'employed to institute a fight upon the ex-
istence of the commission. If there is
any such a movement under way he is
not aware of the fact. He has no idea
•how the rumor was started, but he is cer-
tain it was started by some one with no
other purpose in view than to simply to
hear himself talk. It is utterly without
