THEY RIDICULE IT.
Absolute cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, Is Not Argu
ment, and Facts Are Stub
horn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases 50 obstinate to cure that people
are apt tolook with suspicionon any remedy
claiming to lie a radical, permanent cure
for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acuteness in
never being llumbugged, especially Oh med
icines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak dlges-
ton rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims of a
prepa ration SO reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not 4 secret patent
medicine. no secret is made Of their ingre-
dents, but analysis shows them to contain
the natural digestive ferments, pure aSeptic
pepsin. the digestive acids, Golden Seal,
bismuth, hydrastis and nuN. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerfully
on any organ, but they cure indigestion ON
the common sense plan or digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before IL has time
to ferInent, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret Of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion ana stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food That is all there is
to il. Food not digested or half digested
is poison. as IL creates gas. acidity, head
aches, paipitation Of the heart, loss of
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 80 cents per package. Address Stuart

stomach diseases, sent free.

and as you Will remember Parker was
named by Tom Carter, the silver Senator,
10 take charge Of the District primaries
along with Andy Gleescn and Perry Car
son.
'.Gleeson and Carson. being practical
politicians Parker soon say that they pro-
posed TO snow him under on the day of the
primaries. Why, say. Andy and Perry had
fellows who voted twenty times for them
that day why shouldn't they? There was
nothing to fear
Then Parker threw up his hands in
alleged disgust, and he and Lewis Il.
Wine went to the st. Louis convention with
a side show of their own. Wine hired Il
room for himself and proceeded 10 boom
Parker Andy and Perry were strong
enough to balk Parker, even II they could
not put through their own scheme The
matter was referred to the executive com
rnittee. and, naturally, properly and rea
souably, Parker was made national
committeeman from the District
This is the inside fact as to Farkcr's

the Craftsmanship? Well, l guess so, and
mighty quick, too.

tines as much as Col. Britton got for Har-

overcautinus He would not permit any
dunning OF clerks in the departments or
any letters TO be sent, and we had to de
pend solely upon money voluntarily sent in,
except that given by the committeeman
themselves. The Democrats, however levied
tribute in the good old political way, and
cot big fund. Why, Harrison would not
let us 90 near a corporation.

This time Parker sent from door to
door and caught corporations, clerks ana
individual. coming and going. Wood
ward gave $500, and many other Demo
cratic business men sent in their checks
fot good sums. 1t was a case of principle
more than politics, and everybody felt the
nations honor must be preserved.
Warner would be an excellent man for
the place l know he has enemies, but he
has many excellent qualities. He worked
hard during the campaign, made speeches
all through Maryland, and is looking ahead
10 a seat in Congress. The Sixth Mary
land district is safely Republican, and if
Warner ever should be nominated he would
be elected.
Its funny, but it's true that every citi-
zen is anxious to get on the inauguration
committees and for the brief period strut
the stage with badge and authority. None

I'm unloading them. I've got all the money

reckon upon that, unless a mass meeting

SIS, 900 FOR PETER AND JIM.
Purse Offered for Ten-ROund Go
Between Maher and COrbett,

Pittsburg. Pa, Nov. 81 There is to be Il
determined effort made to secure a match
TO- Peter Maher with James j Corbeu-
This is no advertising talk, but real
straight and genuine goods. Already there
has been a remarkably good offcrmade for
n ten-round go between the two m.n, and 1t
Is an offer that ought not To bc allowed to
r. without acceptance. II is certain that
Maher's manager means to have IL ac-
ccOted, if it is possible to get Corbctt to
agree to terms.
The offer Is Sl5 900 for a teE-round con
test between Mahcr aud Corb,tt, to take
place before a dub in New York. The
contest must be to decision, and TIL"
Maher party, in order to get Corbett to
agree, are willing to let the loser have
$1,000, and the winner twice that amount
This is an extraordinary offer for II
Battle-Ground contest, and 1T is entirely
based Oh the popularity Of Maher in the
East The manager of the club that has
made the offer is of the opinion that
Maher and Corbett would draw as well
as any two men In the business, and that
the ten-round contest would be equal to a
finish fight
JOIN, j. Quinn, the manager of Mahrr.
was sech last evening aud asked about
the offer. In reply to a question, he said,
1t is quite true that such an offer has
been made. Maher is willing to sign ar
ticles at once, ana we have written and
wired Corbett on the matter, hut the lat
ter has so far declined to answer our in
quirics. Now, l am not going to let an
offer like this 90 past without making a
Struggle to have il accepted. | am going
10 Il eet Corbctt next week in the East
and see if we cannot make terms with
him To have the contest.
"Mahcr is willing to let the winner take
all, or he will agree that tine winner take
$4,000 AMI the loser 5000. These terms
ought to suit Corbett, for lie is a boxer
more than fighter. But we insist on one
thing, and that is that decision must be
given. This ought to be very acceptable.
L. Corhett, as n,- claims To re the best
boxer IN the world while very few people
think that Maher can box mt all. We are
cuH;eut to let the referee decide at the
end Of ter rounds, If both III cn are on their
feet"
Quinn also said that he was thinking Of
taking George Plante, the local lightweight,
Ia New York, and try to get him matched
against Kid Mcfarland. II this could
be done it would be quite a pugilistic honor
for the SoutlIsider. He can easily get To
the lightweight limit, and. If in condition,
he would make great fight with any
man Of his weight.

THE CONSOLIDATED LOAN
City Treasurer G. G. BOlaud Notifies the
Bond. Holders That Interest Will
Cease on December |.

City Treasurer c. G. Boland yester-
day sent out letters to the holders of
the $1,000 worth of bonds which fall
due on Dec. l, notifying them that in
terest ceases on that date and adViS-
ing them to forward them to his office
for redemption.
The bonds bear 6 per cent. and were
issued in 1876 under the title Of "thc
consolidated loan" which name was
given the issue by reason of the fact
that 1t wSs made to clear up an aggre-
cation Of debts. some of the debt be-
ing bonds previously issued, some of 1t
being to take up the floating debt. and
some of it to provide for expenditures
that had been made for improvements.
The loan was foated in Philadelphia
through the instrumcntality of George
SandeIson, ST., who was then chair
man of the city commissioners, body
holding about the same relative posi-
ton in municipal government as Is oc-
cupied now by select council, over
which George Sanderson. jr., son of the
senior George, now presides. 1t proved
to be a very expensive loan to the city.
the simple interest itself amounting to
10000, more than the principal, and
the loan all in all will on Dec. l mean
an expenditure of $25OOO0.
During the past uecaue tHe SllhiHS
fund commissioners have kept the re-
demption of this big loan constantly in
sight, and as a consequence the issue
will be taken up, without the necessity
of borrowing money or of even selling
the two lots of city bonds of other is
sues which the commission bought for
the benefit of the fund. 1t means the
blOtting out of an annual debt of S6.OOO.
The fund had about $4,000 in cash to
it's credit at the beginning of the pres
ent fiscal year.
To make up the 100000 before Dec. l
it was necessary that enough of the
1896 taxes should be collected to realize
$4,000 on three-mill percentage,
three mills being the amount set aside
for the sinking fund out of the general
levy of thirteen and sixteenth mills.
This balance has already been real
ICED and there is Il snug sum to spare.
By the time all the taxes are in there
will be good sized nucleus for anoth-
er sinking fund. Next Wednesday Is
the last day on which taxes Will be re-
ceived without penalty.

SCRANTON MEN
BRANCHING OUT
Have Large Interests in Valuable Coal
Properties In New Mexico.
GOOD MARKET CLOSE AT HAND
1t is BituminOus Coal of n Character
Suitable for COking .. United
States Geological Survey Has Dem.
OnstJated That II is the Only Avail.
able Coal Property in That Region.
Those Interested in the Enterprise.

Scranton business men are well
known for their enterprise. but few OF
them as yet have become interested in
anything so far from home as New
Mexico. For two years past, develop
ment work has been going on at ,iite
Oaks, New Mexico, by means of dia-
mond drills and outcrop provinSs and
the entire coal basin, comprising sever
al thousand acres has been secured.
The work was first begun under Charles
Il. Eddy, of the town of Eddy, New
Mexico, who discovered the coal basin
and made his Investigations with the
assistance and advice of number of
prominent business men of Scranton,
among them C. ID. Simpson, William
Connell Governor Watres and w. II.
Smith.
From those engaged in the develop
ment work it is learned that the coal
veins are from five to seven feet thick,
of a good quality Of bituminous coal,
suitable for coking.
A condition that will be appreciated
Is the advantage of a market with no
competitor within four hundred miles.
At FL Paso, Tex, the main smelling
point in that section, the lead and sill
yer smelters use a large quantity of
coke. as also at the reducing WORKS in
Mexico and Arizona.
Richard c. Hills, well known geolo-
gist of Denver. Col. has directed the
prospecting and proving of the field,
aided by the advice of J. C. Osgood,
president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, who Is also one of the heavi-
est stockholders In the enterprise.
Some years ago the United States
geological survey had corps of men
in this field and outlined its limits,
proving also that no other coal lands
will be found within many miles owing
to great disturbances in the geological
strata.
1t Is estimated that the coal will be
sold at profit of at least S1.5O per ton,
so the enterprise Is likely to prove eX-
tremsly profitable. besides being the
nearest approach to a natural monop-
oily of any coal region in the United
States

A month after she was deserted she
came to this city Dr. Paine was di-
rccted to secure an order of removal
