Skeels, Lynnville, Jowa: “It has been six months since I took Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and am fully cured. Have not had a particle of distress or difficulty since. This is in the face of the fact that I had suffered from stom- ach trouble for twenty-five years and was pronounced incurable by the doctors.” James Newmestes, Eau Claire, Wis., says: “Two 50-cent packages of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets did me more good than any remedy I had ever before tried. They hit the spot with me, and I once more have an appetite and can eat what I please without fear of distress and bloat- ing afterward.” Dr. Harlandson relates the case of Miss Helen Sholes of Nashville, who was cured of dyspepsia and gained 18 pounds in weight after suffering from stomach trou- ble for eight years. The doctor uses them in all stomach troubles because they are not a secret patent medicine, but contain pure pepsin, Diastase, fruit acids and vals uable digestives, which digest the food whether the stomach works or not, gives it the needed rest, and a cure is the nat- ural result. Dr. Jennison says nine-tenths of disease is caused by indigestion and Stuart’'s Dys- pepsia Tablets is the safest and best cure, because they are not a secret patent med- fcine, but contaln the valuable digestive principles needed by every weak stomach, and a whole box would not hurt a child, being absolutely harmless. All druggists sell Stuart'’s Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents per package. Send to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., for little book on symptoms and treatment of stomach troubles. —_——————— A GOOD COMPLEXION Depends on Good Digestion. This is almost an axiom, although us- ually we are apt to think that cosmetics, face powders, lotions, fancy soaps, etc., are the secret for securing a clear com- plexion. But all these are simply superficial as- sistants. It is imposible to have a good complexion unless the digestive organs perform their work properly, unless the stomach by properly digesting the food taken into it furnishes an abundance of | pure blood a good complexion s impos- | sible. This is the reason so many ladies are using Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, because they promptly cure any stomach trouble, | and they have found out that perfect digestion means a perfect complexion and one that dges not require cosmetles and | powders to enhance its beauty. ¢ ladies diet themselves or deny themselves many articles of food solely | in_order to keep their complexions clear. | When Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are used no such dfeting is necessary. Take | these tablets and eat all the good, whole- | some food you want, and vou need have | no fear of Indigestion, nor the sallow, dull complexion which nine women out of ten | have, solely because they are suffering from some form of indigestion. i Bear in mind that beauty proceeds from | g00d health, good health results from per- | fect digestion, and we have advanced the best argument to induce every man or | Woman to give this splendid " remedy. a | rial. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can be found in drugstores, and costs but 50 cents per package. They are prepared by the | Stuart Chemical Co..

MILITARY TO BE IN CHARGE WILL BE KEPT IN CONTROL FOR A TIME. Cubans at Santiago Not Disposed to Accept the Conditions Imposed by the Armistice. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Gradually the framework of a government for the clvil administration of affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and such portions of the Philippines as this Government controls is being framed. The development of this plan of internal administration oc- cupled much of the attention of the Cabinet to-day, and later Secretary Gage, Attorney General Griggs, Post- master General Smith and Acting Sec- retary of State Moore held a two hours’ conference at the State Department, going over the Infini' ¢ detail of estab- lishing a civil administration. General Corbin was present part of the time. At the outset the military authorities will be in charge of all administrative affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and other acquired possessions. But the military forces can do little more than direct the | orderly execution of affairs. The car- rying on of postal communication, the collection of customs, etc., are civil functions which will be taken in hand by the appropriate bureaus here, the entire work being under the protection The result | of the conferences to-day will be made known through the various depart- ments. Already steps have been taken to restore mail communication between | this country and Cuba, but the plans 1w under consideration are likely to take in the question of handling mall | inside of Cuba, Porto Rico and other points. A mail steamer will leave New of mail to Cuba which has New York since the war began. The Spanish Government has been quite solicitous as to the method of ad- ministering affairs in the Antilles on account of the large Spanish interests remaining there. The French Embas- sador has received a number of in- quiries in this line, and these have been laid before the State Department. Af- left DEAL IN- HIGH SCHOOL DESKS, San Jose Board of Edu- cation in a Job. HELP TO LOOT THE TREASURY PAY FANCY PRICES TO FA- VORITE FIRMS. Much Lower Bids Are Completely} Ignored—Agents Given No Chance to Make Expla- nations. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 16.—The City Board of Education took a hand in the loot | of the city treasury last night by pur-} chasing 300 school desks for the new High School at exorbitant figures. The favored bidders were the L. Lion & Sons Company and San Jose Furni- ture Company. From the former 150‘ “Beauty” desks were bought at $3 50 each, and the San Jose Furniture Com- pany sold the city 150 Haney desks at $3 10 each. There was no money in the fund to make the purchase and they will be paid for at the end of the year. Until paid for the Board of ~Education has agreed to pay $1 per year rent for each desk. All the trusteees, with the exception of Wemple, voted for the proposition. It was the evident intention to give the job to Lion & Sons, but the mem- bers were afraid to be so bold and di- vided the business with the Ban Jose Furniture Company. The Board of Education held three meetings yesterday, but it was not un- til last night that the deal was consum- mated—ruthlessly voting away the peo- ple’s money. The rooms had the ap- pearance of a furniture factory, and were almost filled with chairs, teach- ers’ desks and school desks. The firms of George H. Fuller & Co. of San Francisco, L. Lion & Sons, M. M. Haas and the San Jose Furniture Company were the competitors. Agents were | given no chance to explain then bids before the board. which considerea the bids in executive session, Last evening the matter was fixed up and Trustees Graham, Kenyon, Lang- ford and O'Neil voted as stated above. In doing so they ignored the lowest bid- ders. George H. Fuller & Co. offered desks superior to those chosen at $272 each, the Haas Company had a bid in at $345 and Lion & Sons offered a| cheaper desk at $250. The Trustees picked out the most expensive desks, with utter disregard to the expenditure of city money. Lion & Sons’ bid was ir- regular and not according to printed 9 ADVERTISEMENTS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—According to George William Hart, of the law firm -.of Hart & Hopkins, the steps taken last week for the appointmént of a guardian for the three infant claimants of A. T. - Btewart’s miilions are but preliminary ".to a general attack upon the part of all living relatives against the present . holders of the estate of the deceased .dry-goods prince.

The fact that Mr. Dare has He has rendered valuable service to the Republican | party on the stump, and is widely known as a practical news- been willing to make public the great benefit derived from the use of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is a strong argument in favor of that widely advertised prepara- tion. Here is what he has to say : S8an Francisco, June 20, *98. F. A Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. Dear Sirs—In view of the fact that I have been for | years a great sufferer from Dyspepsia and kindred stomach troubles, I think it only a matter of justice to make public the remarkable effect of your well-known remedy, Stuart’s Dyspep- sia it wi Tablets, for the cure of such maladies. as practically an impossibility for me to eat anything but While one year ago select foods, I am happy to state that after three months’ use of the Tablets I find no difficulty in eating the heartiest meals of any kind of food desired without disagreeable after effects. You are at liberty to use my name in the exploitation of your remedies, as I consider it is your due that those who are benefited should make public the benefit so derived. Yours very truly, " FACTS WITH POINTS. Every One of These Statements Ab- solutely True. Mr. A. W. Sharper, 61 Prospect street, Indianapolls, Ind., says: ratituda JOHN T.

Mrs. Skeels says: I used only ome package of Stuart’s Dys- pepsfa Tablets and I received such great and unexpected benefit that I wish to ex- press my sincere gratitude. In fact, it has been six months since I took the medi- cine and 1 have not had one particle of distress or difficulty since. And all this in the face of the fact that the best doctors I consulted told me my case was incur- able, as had suffered for twenty-flve years. I want half a dozen packages to distribute among my friends here who are very anxious to try this remedy. Yours truly, MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS. | The reason why Stuart'’s Dyspepsia Tablets are so successful in curing indi- gestion and stomach troubles and the rea- | son why it never disappoints those who need it and use it is because nothing is claimed for it except what it will actu- ally perform. It is not a cure-all, and no such clalms are made for it. It is pre- | ared for the sole purpose of curing | yspepsia and the various forms of indi- gestion. There {s scarcely a patent medicine made but what is claimed to cure dyspep- sla as well as a hundred other troubles. ‘When, as a matter of fact, a remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be prepared especi- ally for that and nothing else; and among all the remedies, patent nostrums, bitters. etc,, so extensively advertised you will find that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets s the only one advertised as a cure for dys- pepsia and nothing else. The remedy is g{rnpnred by the Stuart Co. of Marshall, ich., and for sale by all druggists at 50 ‘cents per package, and if you suffer from any form of stomach derangement or indigestion, a trfal will not disappoint you.

We have been at work for two years on this matter and have worked out the Stewart ancestral tree until we know every branch of it.”” Mr. Hart said that he has a mass of documents which satisfy him that his clients have a genuine claim. He said that he represented no illegitimate chil- dren and that the proceedings were be- gun in good faith. AMERICA'S FUTURE POLICY. Prominent Men Will Enter the Dis- cussion at Saratoga.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 15.—(De- layed in transmission).—This morning a Cuban was shot by a sentry who caught him stealing commissary stores at the dock. Yesterday It was discovered that enough goods had been stolen to make threc carloads, which had been taken out surreptitiously to the Cubans in the fleld. The man under suspicion returned to the whart last night, evidently with the in- tention of continuing his thefts, but he was warned off. Early this morning he was again found there. When the sen- try challenged him he ran, refusing to obey the order to halt. As he was ltkely to escape the sentry fired and killed him, The occurrerice is regretted by General Wood, but the American officers think it will have a salutary effect, as stores have been stolen tob frequently for the prac- tice to be tolerated any longer. ITALY IS SATISFIED, Colombia Agreer to All Points in Her Ultimatum. ROME, Aug. 16.—Admiral Candiani, the commander of the Italian squadron now off the Colombian coast, received on Aug- ust 14 a definite reply from the Govern- ment of Colombia agreeing to all three points included in his ultimatum as to the payment of the Cerrut! claim, namely: “'A formal and absolute recognition of President Cleveland’s award and under- taking to estop within eight months all proceedings on the part of Cerruti’s eredi- tors and an immediate mune{ Ipnymen( to Italy as a guarantee of the full execution of the award within the stipulated time.” This dispute is thus settied to Italy's satisfaction.

Thomas Stafford, the murdered man, was a member of the Thirteenth Infantry, regular army. The murder was the result of a quarrel in a wineshop near Ponce. It was erroneously stated in a dispatch from Marinette, Wis., a few days ago that La Duke had been court-martialed the day after the crime and shot at Ponce on August 4. A CROWDED FOR COIN. Receiver for Alaska Transportation Company. SEATTLE, Aug. 16.—James Carroll was to-day appointed receiver of the Boston and Alaska Transportation Company. In the spgllcauon for a recelver it is stated that the indebtedness of the company amounts to $04,000. It Is also stated there is due the company from the Canadian Government 14,000 freight charges.

The names of these commissioners have been awaited at Madrid, as it is the purpose there to appoint Spanish com- missioners- of the same rank as:those named by the United States. The announcement of Admirals Sampson and Schley as members of the military commissions of Havana and San Juan, respectively, will have the effect of taking these officers from their duty on shipboard for a time. The Navy Department will relieve them from their commands temporarily, while the commissfoners are in session. In, the absence of Admiral Sampson, Captain Philip, who is the senior offi- cer, will probably be in temporary The War Department did not make | public the dispatch from General Law- but the order which General Corbin sent to General Lawton indicates some- thing of its. nature. General Lawton reports that the Cubans do not seem disposed to accept the conditions im- posed by the armistice, and some trou- bles have occurred. Secretary Alger, in speaking of the matter to-day, said that it might as well be fully understood that the United States would control the surrendered territory, and it would manage the affairs of that territory. Those who remained within the juris- diction would have to obey the laws and officers of the United States, as General Lawton was informed. The War Department began the work of mustering out the volunteers which will not be needed in the service. The order was prepared, but was not is- sued, as it was deemed best to awalt news from Manila before disbanding any of the troops. Tt is expected that the cavalry and artillery of the volun- teer force now in the United States will be mustered out. 5 Reports of better canditions in the various camps are being received, and especially do flattering reports come from Montauk Point, showing that the soldiers are being well cared for there. Preparations have being going for- ward for the movement of the troops from the camps which were originally established, in order to scatter them about the country. -The first report concerning yellow fever among the United States troops |’ in this country came from Key West to-day. Surgeon General Sternberg be- lieves that it can be kept under control. THANKED BY JAPAN. Tokio Pleased at the Settlement of the Immigration Claim. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Minister Sewall, at Hawali, has informed the State Department that Hawaii has pald to Japan $75,000 as indemnity for the re- fusal of the Hawailan Government to allow certain Japanese to-land in Ha- wali at various times during the past three years. Quite a _complication arose over the claim of Japan for a larger amount about the time the new treaty of annexation was negotiated, but this payment no doubt clears it all. Mr. Sewall says that the payment of $75,000 referred to was in full settle- ment of all Japanese claims, public and private. He also reports that the Jap- anese charge d’affaires at Honolulu ex- ressed thanks to the United States government for its eood offices in the matter. The action of the Hawailan Government in payine this indemnity was based upon the recommendation of the United States Government as ex- pressed by Minister Sewall, acting un- der instructions from the State Depart- ment at Washington. The administra- tion desired that the controversy be- tween Japan and Hawaii over the im- migration question should be settled be- forg the formal annexation of the {s- lands to the territory of the United States. Falls Dead in His Brother’s Store. SAN JOSE, Aug. 16.—George Hirth of Santa Rosa, who has been on a visit to his brother, Chris Hirth, fell dead in the latter's store this morning from heart failure. He has lived in California for ears, but was a native of Germany. He s no family. He was much esteemed in Santa Rosa. The funeral will be held ere. a deficiency of from $6000 t0$10,000in the “ School Department at the end of the| fiscal year. In taking Fuller & Co.'s| offer the Trustees could have saved the city about $1756 on the deal. Bids for | teachers’ desks and chairs were thrown | out. These goods will be bought from | Lion & Sons at private sale and the | eity will be the sufferer. The Santa Clara Trustees last night bought fifty Haney school desks for | their High School for $2 85 each. This purchase is made to accommodate pu- pils from this city who are boycotting the local High School because of the dismissal of Professor L. R. Smith. The Haney desk at $2 85 per desk Is 25 cents less than San Jose agreed to pay for the same desk last night. Just why there should be 25 cents less per desk in favor of Santa Clara is hard to understand. The city Board of Bducation -~ will probably be called upcn to explain why in choosing the desks the lowest bidders were not considered. This is not the first time San Jose has been robbed in buying school desks. Some 200 “Beau- ty” school desks were bought from Lion & Sons last year at $375. Bids were called for to supply 100 desks at that time, but the old school board rejected all the bids and purchased the goods from the Lions. The bill amounted to “over $600, and in-order to pay the bill without violating the charter, they sub- divided it. The signing of these claims was about the first official act of Mayor Martin, who is an uncle of the Lions. YELLOW FE CASES. Six Sufferers in the Key West Marine Barracks.
