Not a Patent Cure-All, Nor a Modern Miracle, but Simply a Rational Cure for Dyspepsia. In these days of humbuggery and de- ception, the manufacturers of patent medicines, as a rule, seem to think their medicines will not sell unless they claim tkat it will cure every disease under-the | sun. And they never think of leaving out dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They | ere sure to claim that their nostrum is absolutely certain to cure every dyspep- tic and he need look no further. In the face of these absurd claims it is refreshing to note that the proprietors of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have care- fvily refrained from making any undue claims or false representations regarding the merits of this most excellent remedy for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They make but one claim for it, and that is, that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is & radical cure. They go no farther than this and any man or woman suffering from indigestion, chronic or nervous dys- pepria, who will give the remedy a trial will find that nothing is claimed for it | that the facts will not fully sustain. It is a modern discovery, composed of barmiess vegetable ingredients acceptable to the weakest or most delicate stom- ech. Its great success in curing stomach troubles is due to the fact tht the med- ical properties are such that it will digest whatever wholesome food is taken into the stomach, no matter whether the stomach is in good working order or 'not. It rests the over-worked organ and re- pienishes the body, the blood, the nerves, creating a healthy appetite, gives - Te- freshing sleep and the blessings which al- ways accompany a good digestion and proper assimilation of food. In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets no dieting is required, simply eat plenty of wholesome food and take these Tablets 8t each meal, thus assisting and resting the stomach, which rapidly regains its proper digestive power, when the Tablets will be no longer required. Nervous Dyspepsia is simply a condi- tion in which some portion or portions of the nervous system are not properly nourished. Good digestion invigorates the mervous system and every organ ia the body. A Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by %l druggists at 50 cents ‘per package. ul consequences of this | , Rochester, N.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—Lake Chelan | and the surrounding mountain region in | Central Washington {s being topographic- ally mapped by the engineers of the Unit- ed States Geological Survey. | 'This region is in the heart of the Wash- | ington forest reserve and is noted as one | of the wildest and most picturesque sec- | | ticns of the West. It is still little known | te the country at large, but in the esti- | mation of some its scenery compares fa- | | vorably with that of Switzerland. R.

Considerable diffieulty was ex- | perierced in penetrating the country oni account of its extremely rough character | ard the large amount of snow and ice | | which, although the summer was well | advanced, was encountered upon the high | | mountain ranges.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. 5., Nov. 15.—The United States Senate Committee on Terri- tories made an important change in its | itinerary to-night by which the time of the committee at all points is affected. Instead of going from Albuquerque to El | Paso, thence over into Arizona, the com- | mittée left at 11 p. m. for Ash Fork, A. | T. From there it intends to go on down | | toward Phoenix, where 1t will stop. It | may also stop over at other points on the way to that city. The detailed itinerary of the committee is governed wholly by the work on hand. At Albuquerque the committee heard many witnesses -representing practically |every phase of the population and re- sources. Besides, it took frequent drives | inte the country districts unaccompanied by local citizens. In this city in addi- tion to witnesses, Delegate Rodey and citizens selected by him were heard in ar- | guments favoring statehood. The new {itinerary of the committee includes Ok- |lzahoma and the Indian Territory. The | committee expects to continue its hear- |ings in each city visited.

LONDON, Nov. 15.—Emperor Willlam concluded his visit to King Edward this morning and started on his visit to Lord and Lady Lonsdale at Lowther Castle, Penryth, Cumbérland. Hours before the Emperor's departure the'road to the railroad station was lined by hundreds of spectators. A strong force of police guarded the route and the ap- proaches to ‘the depot were rigidly cor- doned. The imperial and royal proces- sion, which was attended by considerable display, was headed by a detachment of ‘cavalry. Emperor William, King Edward and the Prince of Wales ocgupied an open car- riage drawn by four horses and preceded | by outriders. Before entering the train the Emperor inspected the guard of hon- or. Emperor Willlam and King Edward entered the saloon carriage together and kissed each other on both cheeks. King Edward then left the car and stood chat- ting with the Emperor until the train moved, when he again shook hands with the Emperor. The King's last words were: “Good-by again. “Au revoir.” Emperor William stood for some time at a window as the train moved away, acknowledging the cheers of the crowds | about the station.

NOTABLE MEN HONOR RETIRING EMBASSADOR Jules Cambon, the French Diplomat, the Guest at Great % Dinner. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—A rare tribute was paid to-night to Jules Cambon, the retiring French Embassador, in the form | of a dinner given in his honor at Sherry’'s by Senator James H. Hyde. which Embassador Cambon is held was gitested by the presence of more than 250 | of the most distinguished citizens of the | metropolis, members of the Cabinet, prominent officers of the army and navy and visitors from other cities. To the strains of the “Marsellaise” the guest of the evening was escorted to the seat of honor by Senator Depew and Mr. Hyde. Following them came Governor Odell, Senator Platt, Archbishop dreland, ‘Whitelaw Reid, President Nicholas Mur- ray Butler of Columbia University, Mel- ville E. Stone, Judge Alten B.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 15.—Details of Finance Minister Witte's journey to the Far East are beginning to arrive here by Post. A letter dated October 12 describes his stay at' Viadivostok. The principal matters laid before him_ there were peti- tions for a free port for ships at Viadivo- | stok, for exemption of all Chinese goods from customs duties, for commercial and naval schools at Vladivostok, for freedom of commerce in transit from customs in- spection at Vladivostok.and for various | minor reforms in the customs inspections in the interests of passenger traffic. ! It is generally realized here that the abolition of the free port at Vladivostok | has dealt a most severe blow at the city’s Prosperity; nor are veoices wanting in the criticism of the scheme of the Minister of Finance in the modern and costly new city of Dainy. The Dalny Vostok of Port Arthur not'only throws doubt upon the ne- cessity for fountains and parks in a city which so far has no inhabitants, but pro- nounces the choice of the site for the new city most unfortunate. Dalny has no natural harbor, lying on the open sea, where the water is shallow. The artificial i harkor' had to-be connected with the sea by a canal two miles long, which it is | dangerous to approach in even moderately windy weather on account of rocks and sand on both sides. | Up to February $6,500,000 had been spent at Dalny, of which only one-half was for the harbor. Work on the harbor had to be stopped half way because the appro- priation had been esceeded, large sums having been expended for the beautifica- tion of the site. The brick and stone houses, however, are be- lieved to be exceedingly inconvenient and cold, the architects having, as is usual with Russian architects, subordinated the interior arrangements for cemfort - and convenience wholly to supposed exterior beauty. The Dalny Vostok declares that Inkou, on the river Liao, should have been se- lected as the principal shipping port of Manchuria, the Chinese transit trade hav- ing taken this route for ages. Ice break- ers can easily keep this harbor ice free. Dalny is no longer an ice-free port, since the moles of the artificial harbor cause an accumulation of ice floes that were formerly swept away by the wind. It is feared that official favor will never be able to make Dalny a genuine competitor of Inkou, which is over 150 miles nearer the Manchurian markets. The report of the Minister of the In- terior on the famine relief in 1901 is con- sidered an important document. Von Ple- hewe admits that the central government did not distinguish itself in this work, which it withdrew from the hands of the | Zemstovoes in 1900, many local officials taking action only after the need was very great. The Minister recommends a partial return to the old system, declar- ing that no form of relief is comparabie to public work and only the Semstovoes can take such work. Plehewe also admits ‘the famine of 1801 not only had extremely unfavorable re- sults for the afflicted districts, but testi- fled to the géneral deteridfation of the coadition of the peasants.” . ST.

Catarrh Is a Disease That Does Not Cure Itself. There is a vast multitude of people who can subscribe to the above statement. In the first place, catarrh is a life-long disease unless cured. Catarrh is a dis- ease that does not cure itself, and is not easily cured by the best of remedies. The doctors all try to treat catarrh. Their remedies generally fail to cure. The peo- ple first go to a dogor and give him a faithful trial. After'they have tried one ADVERTISEMENTS g doctor they gen- erally _try an- other. Sometimes three or four. As a rule, how- ever, they are generally obliged to resort to Peruna at last. In Peruna they find what they have been seeking—a perfect cure. A cure that lasts.

DURBAR PRIGES LEAP SKYWARD IndianViceroy’s Celebra- tion to Be an Amaz- ing Hvent. ~— LONDON, Nov. 15.—The excitement over the Indian durbar continues. It is esiimated that nearly 50,000 British and Americans will visit Delhi for the occa- sion The enormous prices charged have caused many people to abandon the idea of being present. It will cost two per- sons with two servants $3000 in traveling expenses. The cost of the stay of visitors at Delhi cannot be fully estimated. The hotels there are already charging eight times their usual tariff and the available houses of the town have already been hired at from $30,000 to $45,000 apiece. {The Indian Princes are sparing no-ex- pense in taking steps to return the hos- pitality which was extended to them in England at the time of the coronation. Owing to the scarcity of houses some rude huts have been built among the camps, and though they will only contain fireplaces and a few simple comforts, ex- fravagant prices are demanded for them. . TLey will be of three classes. The first wiil cost $100 daily “for board and lodging for each person and $100 will be charged daily for carriage hire. Some of the travelers are taking their own carriages and horses. The most envied American going hence to the durbar is Mrs. Ada Adair, who starts at the end of the month. She will be Lord Kitchener's guest and will act:as hostess, entertaining a very large partyinvited by the British geveral.

PORTLAND, Or!, Nov. 15—Having a similarity of climate and a soil closely re- sembling that of Cuba, with the advan- tage of being an American district, it is believed tobacco equal in quality can be grown in the Philippines and imported into the United States in competition with that of the Antilles. To ascertain whether this ‘be true is’the mission of A. T. Kin- || ‘mey of New York, an importer of tobacco, ‘whose knowledge ‘of the industry is wide -enough ‘to include a thorough understand- ing of -domestic and foreign conditions. ~Kinney is now in Victoria. He will go to San Francisco and thence to Yokohama, | Hongkong and Manila. “An-opportunity for investment in the to- bacco industry is believed by Kinney to 1;-1 nggmntad in the Philippines and Porto He believes possibilities for tobacco -are greater in these possessions of the Unitad States than in any other place in the w:v;erhr; }femlltghere. ‘With the ad- vant of wving the product shipped moc‘“rfi. country free of duty, emflu— | tion with Cuba would be easy. He said to-day: “The: tobacco now obtained from the Philippines is not of a character that would receive a ready sale in this country, It lacks taste and is not made up so well. I do not believe Manila cigars will ever gain a foothold in the American markets. If Cuban tobacco could be transplanted there and grown successfully, there is a fortune in the venture.” COAST FLOUR COMBINATION.

PENVER, Nov. 15.—Speculation is rife at the City Hall as to the probable action of Distriet Judge John I. Mullins in the case of the Aldermen who passed an ordi- nance for an extension of the tramway lines in disregard of an injunction issued by him on petition of members of the Municipal League. The ordinance was passed by a vote of 11 to 4 The majority of the members of the board decided to ignore the injunction, as an opinion was given by Assistant City Attorney Ritter to the effect that the court possessed no legal right to interfere with a procedure of @ legislative body. Judge Mullins is out of the city to-day in attendance upon the quarto-centennial celcbration of the State University at Boulder and it is unlikely that any action wili be taken in the matter by him before Monday. The injunction required the Beard of Aldermen to make the new fran- chise conform to the terms of those al- ready in effect in respect to duration and faies. The court’s order also restrains the Mayor from signing the ordinance. ) (@) The universal judg- ment of the great pians excerts of the werld is decidedly in favor of the pianos we carry. deed. 80 well known, but are all 1 . of them with our guarantee. call, write us.
