No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia People
having it think that their nerves are to blame
and are surprised that they are not cured by
nerve medicines and spring remedies; the
real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the
stomach it the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly every other
organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and
is irregular; in others the kidneys are
affected; in others the bowels are cOnstipated,
with headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite, with accumu-
lations of gas sour risings and heartburn.

The Scott Jackson Murder Trial.

NEWPORT, Ky, May 4-There is posi-.
bility, if not prospect, that the trial OF
Scott Jackson will consume all of the
present week. If the defense gets its tes-
timony all in by tomorrow or "Wednesday
noon it will do well. After the defense
will come a number of witnesses brought
by the prosecution for rebuttal. This will
certainly consume one and halt or
two days. No one can tell how much time
the arguments will consume During the
past week the defense has revealed its pur-
pose to attack the testimony of at least two
witnesses, if not three One manifesthope
of the defense is to establish case of non
jurisdiction by showing that the murder
was committed in Cincinnati by overriding
some treatment with chloroform or other
anasthetic, and that the body was after
wards taken to Kentucky and beheaded to
avoid recognition.

CLEVELAND, May 4.-The delegates to
the Methodist general conference are ex-
pectantly awaiting the contest over the
woman question. The majority report,
signed by twenty members Of the COM
mittee, holds that the women delegates
are eligible to seats in the conference. The
minority report submitted by DIR. ]. NJ.
Buckley, editor Of the New York Chris.
tian Advocate, consists of arguments
based on biblical and constitutional
grounds against the granting of the priv
ilege OF delegates to the women. The CON
sensus Of opinion among the delegates is
that the majority report will be adopted.
If it is, the conference will say, 1t is as.
serted, that the constitution ought to be
changed and IA precedent will be estap
lished which will result in giving seats tc
women in all future conferences.

CHICAGO, May 4-Sixty thousand dol
lars has been expended in the construc-
tion and equipment of great observatory,
and number of years of the valuable
time OF two noted astronomers and their
assistants will be devoted to what is ex-
peoted to prove the most important astro-
nomical expedition of the country. Per-
ciyal Lowell has built the observatory and
great telescope, and will be one of the two
principal scientific workers on the expedi-
tion. DIR. I. j, See, of the University of
Chicago, will be the other. Both are scien-
lists of renown. Their operations will be-
gin in July from the movable observatory
to be erected on the lofty Mexican plateau
near the City of Mexico, and will probably
be continued in 1898 somewhere down in
Peru. Mr.. Lowell will study the planet
Mars in systematic way that has never
been pursued and DIR. See will search the

BRAZIL MoNARCHlsTs BUSY


Against the RepuDltc.
RIO DE JANEIRo, May 4.-The mon
archial movement in Brazil is beginning
to take a very serious turn. Prollting by
the general disorder which continues
among the republicans by reason of for
eign and domestic troubles, the monarch
lists are picking up courage, and declare
openly thcirintenJion TO restore the mon
orchy As long ago Us Nov. 10 last they
made u considerable demonstration at blo
and at San Paulo in favor of restoration.
What adds to the gravity of the situation
Is that numerous officers of high rank IN
the army and navy, who have hitherto
maintained their neutrality, have declared
openly for the monarchy.
General Thomaz Pompen, professor in the
military school of Fortalez, few days ago
at a public meeting invited hts pupils ana
colleagues to join the monarchlsts. Inc
republican journal Paiz recently de-
manded that all soldiers and sailors ABOVE
a certain rank declare their faithtulness
to the republic. Very few army officers
have responded, and many are suspected
of sympathy with the conspirators.
The dispute over Trinidad Island with
England, the troubles in Rio Grande DO
Sui, and the turbulent Tendencies OF the
Jacobinos, all serve to encourage the mon
archial conspirators in their campaign
against the government. They have
emissaries all over Brazil as well as the
work they do through the press.
Several new monarohist newspapers
have recently been started, and number
of the established journals do not hide
their sympathy for the old imperial re-
gime. The actual situation in Brazil is
considered serious.

THERE are reports that the Mckinley
managers are getting nervous over Harrison S
possibilities as a rival but the basis for these
stories is not discernibe to the average
person. However, Cleveland's success il
1892 is an example which will help ex-Prcsi-
dents hereafter who chance to be defeated
at the polls for second term while holding
the Office The reason, though, for giving
Cleveland third nomination-the lack Of
available men in his party-does not exist in
the Harrison case. Still if the ex-Presidont
chances to get the nomination he will be sure
of a big majority at the polls. Any Republi-

The election of a county superintendent Of
public instruction takes place tomorrow
morning, at Pottsville. As we have previ-
ously stated, the two candidates for the posi-
tion are the present incumbent, &. w. Weiss,
of Schuylkill Haven, and Prof J. w. Cooper
principal of the Shenandoah High school.
The canvass has been an active one on both
.ides and we can say for Prof, Cooper thal
his has been an honorable, and we think,
Successful one. The present incumbent has
fhis press bureau at work, the papers OF the
county seat being filled with paid notices
in an endeavor to prove that he should nc
retained in the position for eighteen years.
We know Of but one paper that has endorsed
his candidacy, the Pottsyillc Republican,
while there are any number that have
spoken fayorably Of Prof Cooper, Especi-
ally is this true at his former home III
fremont The press and people OF that
town are enthusiastic for his election. The
McAdoo Tidings charges Prof. Weiss with
using his Office for political purposes to the
detriment of the schools II says: we
make the assertion without fear Of contradic
tion that Mr.. Weiss would be relegated year
ago except for the sword Of Damocles that he
holds over the heads Of certain directors anC
for favors shown to others which are Away
considered as reciprocal. Everyone Is ae
auainted with the manner in which he hold
his power aud yet for some unaccountabl
reason it is allowed to continue. The tint
