Dieting for Dyspepsia,

When one finds the digestive organs
weak and unable to perform their ac-
customed duties, the first thing should
be, to giDe them rest. There is no
danger of starving. We can live days
and suffer but little Inconvenience on
little or nothing. When the stomach is
in a weak state, it should be called
upon to digest very little at a time A
few spoonfuls OF oatmeal Cruel suited
me better than anything else, taken at
regular intervals five times q day. As
my stomach grew stronger, / took
more. OF course l was hungry, but
that is a sensation easier to bear than
pain. After time L added bit of
dry bread and little butter. | soon
added mealy baked potato and a
small piece of rare beefsteak, which at
first | only chewed.
Having had no trouble before with
my food during my life, it was an act
OF much self-denial to say "no, |
thank you" TO many dishes well suited
to tickle the palate; but for three years
and more have done so, and am now
once more in the enjoyment of good
health.
A dyspeptic should eat no fat meats,
no rich grayies, no pastry, no fried
meats, no pork in any form, fresh or
salt, fried, baked, or boiled; also,
should not allow one mouthful of any
kind to pass his lips between meals;
and, when tired, should eat very light
ly. A tired stomach can not digest.
have found slipping half cup of hot
drink before eating very beneficial
very weak tea or coffee with little
milk and sugar, or clear hot water and
milk. Drink nothing with food, and
eat everything as dry as possible. After
making your dinner of meat and pota-
to, if you want any dessert, eat piece
of dry bread and butter, or pilot bis
cult, a soda cracker or common
cracker, and drink nothing with it or
after it. Digestion, you know, COM
mences in the mouth, and these dry
morsels promote the secretion of moist

think cooked fruit of all kinds highly
beneficial, and indulge in it to my
hearts content.
A physician can not tell you what to
eat or drink; you must do your own ex-
perimenting, and when you eat any
thing that you know does not agree
with you, give it wide berth after
ward. know it is hard, but we can
get used to it in time. Oatmeal and
milk, plain bread and butter, stewed
fruits, lean meats, and potatoes will not
only keep one alive and in good work

white hats on canes and waved them
about In response to the ocean of hand
kerchiefs waved by the ladies in the gal

How TO Get Rid OF Beggars.

There are more ways of killing dog
than choking him to death with butter,
and there are several ways of getting
rid of beggars, besides telling them to go
to Halifax. When an unfortunate mendi-
cant applies to Gilhooly for aid, that
philosopher cheerfully responds:
80, certainly. Have you got change
for dollarP" l,.
In ninety-nine cases out of hundred,
the mendicant replies that he has not.
'Tm sorry, but I've not got anything
smaller. am always happy TO help
the deserving poor"
In case the beggar says that he has
got change for dollar, Gilhooly bowls
out:
police! Police!' and denounces the
unfortunate man as an impostor foS
begging when he has got his pockets
full OF money which he must have
stolen from somebody, whereupon tha
'mendicant skips off.-Ieras SiJtings.

The perpetuity of our institutions rests upon

rupted by long and continued applause
The name of President Arthur was re-
peatedly cheered and at various stages
In cheering the reading of the section re-
lating to the tariff, the vast audience be-
came almost uncomfortable and made the
roof ring with its applause. A similar
greeting gave recognition to the state
ment that there should be no foreign in
tervention with American affairs. 1t was
the most enthusiastic moment of the
Convention, and the vast audience seemed
in thorough accord with one and every
sentiment expressed in the document.

Detective Griswold arrived here yester-
day morning bringing with him thirty
three witnesses from the vicinity of Gil
rard and Bunker Hill, in the Mt. Pulaski
triple murder cases that will come up for
trial before Judge Herdman to-day. II Is
the belief that the case against j. II. Hall
and VIM. Ferris is clear one, and that
they will be convicted for the horrible
crime for which they are indicted. Belle
Hall, wife of the former and sister of
Ferris, is also under indictment as an ac-
complete, and will be defended by T. r..
Beach, appointed by the Court. He was

past history of the party was, the Union
victims on the floor of the convention;
financial strength maintained and the
pulse of industry throbbing. These were
scrae of the fruits of Republican work. The
embarrassment of the Republican party
was not in the want, but in the plenti-
tude of material for Presidential timber.
New York had true and tried candi-
date. [Cheers. Vermont, one whose
virtues were as solid as rock. Ohio,
one whose history is lasting. The Re-

failed to discharge his public duty in the
Councils of the Nation, or on the field OF
battle. Maine had man who was en-
deared to the hearts Of his friends and
whose brilliancy challenges the admira-
tion of the world.
The scene when these words were ut
tered was striking. Half the convention
and nearly all the galleries rose to their
feet and cheered and waved their hand
kerchiefs, hats, etc. Silence was re-
stored, only for the same scene to be res
peated. A third time was it enacted.
Then a delegate from Iowa shouted
"Hit 'em again." and once more the hall
shook. 1t was the most striking and
hearty demonstration yet seen in the con
veution. A reference TO General Sher
man was warmly received, and the speak
er concluded.

FOURTH DAY.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. June 6.
The fourth and critical day of
the Republican National Convention
opened with the public pulse beating with
painful intensity, fGuratively speaking
1t looked as though all Chicago had turned
out to look upon or wait for the event of
the day. black mass of human beings
lined the lake font, and the streets lead
ing to the Exposition building were u jam.
laSide it was as bad If not worse
than last night. For the first time every
delegate was in his seat fifteen minutes
before the hour at which the Convention
was called to order and from floor to
roof the vast building was packed like
sardine box.
At 30 the Chairman assembled the
platform but seeing that the Convention
was not in mood for business settled
down in his seat. The band struck up the
familiar stains of "Down by the Swanee
River" which was changed to Dixie and
every foot in the audience stamped the
refrain.
Silence was restored at last and Rev.
DIR. Scudder led in prayer.
The roll was called for members of the
National Committee not named yesterday

roll for the nomination of President.

The Enterprise by No Means Laid on the
Shelf-The Projectors PIucky.


The Enterprise by No Means Laid on the
Shelf-The Projectors Pluclxy.
While some of the Western newspapers are
shelving the railroad enterprise known as the In
nianapohs, Eel River e Western road, the pro
jectors who are certainly plucky set of men,
are quietly working to place their financial mat
ters in such shape that they can proceed with
the work. For ten days past representatives of
its interests have been in Boston endeavoring to
raise $500, 900, offering to give the parties who
aid them full control over the road after it is
built until they are paid any moneys advanced.
The enterprise seems to hinge on that 5000, 600,
as English capitalists have offered to advance all
funds needed to build and equip the road
above that sum. E. B. Phillips late president
of the Toledo Cincinnati & st. Louis road, now
president of the Fitchburg road. gives them some
encouragement that the money be raised,
and expresses no doubt in the matter, providing
satisfactory security can be furnished, and it is
stated that as soon as the weather is more favor
able committee of Boston capitalists and an
eminent civil engineer will visit the West and
take a survey of the situation. The friends of
the road quite confident that their report will
be so satisfactory that the Boston people will
furnish the funds needed. 1t would seem that
the 20, 600 acres of coal lands controlled by the
company and the right of way, one hundred and
twenty miles of which has already been secured,
and the liberal proposition of the company as
regards operating the road, would furnish ample
gecuPitV.

The Long Island road has declared quarterly
dividend of per cent, payable Feb /.
The Western Trunk-lin Association covers
eight roads, carrying traffic over 10000 miles of
track.
Less than twenty railroad stocks on the New

of more than $3.50, 000 600 since Jan. l, 1888
Over one hundred through passengers are
daily carried from Savannah to Jacksonville via

Better Take In Sail.

There are those who believe that some of the
now prosperous Northwestern roads will sooner
OF later find themselves swamped in debt
Take, for instance, the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, which is, perhaps
the most spread out of either of the Northwest
ern lines. If comparative view of its fixed
charges be taken, it is found that the increase in
its bonded debt during thepsst six years has been
phenomenal In 1877 this debt was less than
$50, 100000. The end of this year finds it some
$l04 600 600, or an increase in six years of more
than SO, 900, 600. During the same period its
capital stock has been increased from $27 683 IA
up to about $46 600 900, total increase in LA
bilihes during six years from $57 63S pa to about
$152. 000, 600, or nearly $500, COO, 600
