point. What is it for?" we con.
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermon we turn and ask: "What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR z" AS easily
answered as asked: It is for Dys-
pepsia. 1t is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's

thing, and does it right along-it

The Kaiser,s Latest Fad.

BERLIN, Dec. 2.-The kaiser, it is ru-
mored, has seriously spoken of submit
ting himself to medical examination as
to his sanity in order to offer conclu-
sive refutation to the critics in France
and England who have been throwing
out hints rejecting upon it. Should the
kaiser conclude to take the step, the
leading experts would be invited from
England, and perhaps from Italy and
Sweden, who would make thorough ex-
animation and complete report upon
the cerebral condition of the illustrious
patient. Whatever may be the founda-
ton for the rumors, it is certain that
the kalser's mental condition is sub
ject of general discussion, or rather in
situations, and it is believed that the
current gossip cannot have failed in
some form to reach the kaiser's ears.

Three Families After His Money.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 2.-Thirty -one
years ago Joel R. Carter married in
England. After the birth of his two
children he came to America and estab-
lished himself in Akron, Ohio. He
prospered and for time corresponded
with his family, but finally moved to
Peoria, ILL.,, where he was known as
Cramer In 1870 he married again and
had two children by his second wife.
A younger woman fell in his way, SO
that he in turn deserted his later wife,
and came here with his new flame,
bringing with him $50, ,000 in greenbacks.
The second wife obtained divorce from
him. He left her and his children in
possession of property valued at 500, 900.
As soon as the divorce from him was
secured he commenced proceedings
against the English wife, who had ad-
vertised for information, concerning
him. A marked copy of the paper con-
tanning the history of the divorce had
been sent her. She objected to the di-
vorce, saying he had deserted her.
This turn of affairs worried him so
he took sick and died. The three
families are now claimants of his
estate. Joel R. Carter, jr., a son by his
first wife, is here. An amicable settle
ment is possible, as there is enough fol
all. He was exceedingly successful In
all his business ventures.

is Crazy---Fined the Anarchists
Don't Believe the Tale.

8 ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 2.-Advices
from Sarnara state that the peasantry,
driven to desperation by the extortions
of the stleoolaks,' as the native usurers
are called, have killed number of them,
and robbed their dwellings of the money
and valuables wrung from the Starving
country people. In one Samara village
a "koolak, y noted for his grasping dis
position, had come into possession, since
the beginning of the famine, of nearly
all of the jewelry worn as heirlooms by
the women of the neighborhood. His
life; was spared ON surrendering the
pledges. The s'koolaks" are known to
be in many cases in collusion with the
officers, who aid them in extorting their
exorbitant interest. One effect of the
famine, however, has been to make
these peasants reckless of the profound
respect which authority in Russia has
heretofore commanded, and several OF
the local officials are among the victims
of the recent outbreaks.

This Time 1t Affects People Well Known in
Theatrical Circles.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-London is certainly
having a surfeit of separation and divorce
cases This time, however, the parties in
volved do not belong to the peerage but are
well known to the theater-going public of
England and the United States. The
parties to this suit are Miss Florence ST.
John, the actress, and Du Plany Maurius,
and the charges made against the
latter are the only ones on which
an absolute divorce can be obtained in Eng
land The case came up to-day before Mr.
Justice Jeune, of Her Majesty's High
Court of Justice. Sir Charles Russell ap-
peared for the prosecutor, and Mr.. c. F.
Gill for the respondent Mr.. Gill admitted
that the serious charge was true, but
claimed the ofense had not been committed
until after Miss ST. John had deserted her
husband
Miss st. Johns suit is a counter action
brought to offset similar suit instituted
against her by Marius. He makes Arthur
Cohen, sub-editor of the Financial Neus, CO.
respondent. Marius asks no money damages
against Cohen, but only asks the Court to
rid him of his marriage ties. Miss st.
John denied all the allegations to-day.
The testimony was quite sensational.

QUIET PREVAILS IN BRAzIL.

The National Guard Reported to Be Dis
arming in the Provinces.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-A dispatch from Brazil
was received to-day after silence of four
days The intelligence just received shows
that affairs in the State of Rio Grande Do
Sui are assuming more pacific appear
ance. To-day's dispatch comes from the
city of Rio Grande Do Sui and states that
Senior Castillo has declined to accept the
Governorship of the State. Senor Castillo,
it will be remembered, was Governor of the
State at the time of the resurrection there
and resigned and placed the conduct of
affairs in the hands of the Provisional
Junta.
Subsequent to the overthrow of the Die
tator the new Government ordered that
Senior Castillo be reinstated in the Office he
had resigned. This order created great ex-
citement in Rio Grande Do Sui and for a
time trouble was feared. The National
Guard was mobilized and it was thought
that the order of the Government would be
resisted by force. Senior Castillo's action in
declining the Governorship has caused .
much better feeling to prevail The
National Guard is disarming, and quiet is
being restored throughout the province

BRITISH WORLDS FAIR EXHIBITORS.

They Object to Paying for Space for the
Privilege of Displaying Their Goods.
LONDON, Dec 5.-An order in Council
has been issued declaring that the condi-
tions of the patent act, by which an
application for a patent will not be
iEvalidsted by the exhibition of the
invention at an international exhibition,
will apply to British inventions of discov-
cries exhibited at the Chicago Columbian
exhibition. Complaints have been made
that the Royal Commission, though it OBJ
tanned space at Chicago free, is charging in
tending British exhibitors price for space
that will realize profit of e5O, 900.
Replying to these complaints the Com
mission states: "We cannot make the
British section a success without selling
space. The Government grant of e25, 900
is wholly insufficient to meet the expense.
The cost of the British section at the Paris
Exposition, which was much smaller than it
will be at Chicago, amounted to total of
e28, 900 pounds. We ask Britishers shil-
lings square foot in order to cover the
heavy cost. The Commission will not make
a penny out of the business Any surplus
will be distributed pro rata among the eI-
hibitors''

A Wedding Celebration in the New Mosque

rBY CABLE TO THE E'DIsPATcH.1
LONDON, Dec 5.-The community of
English Mohammedans at Liverpool, to
which reference has been made in THE DIS
PATCH, is prospering exceedingly. Its
membership steadily increases, and 1t has
now a nice mosque, in which three mar
riages have taken place within the last few
weeks. The last of these was celebrated
yesterday, when Sheikh Meeran Buksh, a
young barrister educated in Lahore and Lon
DIN, and scion of one of the oldest
Moslem families in the Punjaub, was united
to Miss Amely Davis Bright, a young
English woman whom the Sheikh had con-
verted to the faith of his fathers. The bride
wore blue dress trimmed With gold braid,
but she was quite put in the shade by the
bridegroom, who shone resplendent in an
Indian costume weighed down with bullion
trimming and surmounted by a jeweled
turban.
The ceremony vas conducted in the
orthodox Mohammedan manner, and ended
with prayers to Allah to bless the union.
Mrs. Meeran Buksh will accompany her hus-
band to India. Whether she is to be veiled
and immured in a harem, and what are Mr..
Meeran Buksh's views in regard to
polygamy, are questions which are exciting
much interest here, but to which no answers
are Forthcoming.
