DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right In its
place and indispensable in the kitchen
and for cooking and washing pur-
poses, but it was never intended for
a medicine, and people who use it as
such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach
a habit which thousands of people
practice almost daily, and one which
is fraught with dangers; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestines,
causing death by Inflammation or
peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stom-
ach (acld dyspepsia) an excellent pre-
paration sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large 20 grain. lozen-
ges very pleasant to taste and contain
the natural acids, peptones, and di-
gestive elements essential to good
digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the TODD perfectly
and promptly before it has time to
fermcnt, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invart-
ably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
in all cases of stomach arrangements
and finds them certain cure not
only for sour stomach, but by
promptly digesting the food they
create healthy appetite, increase
flesh and strengthen the action of the
heart and liver. They are not a ca
| thartic. but intended only for stom-
ach diseases and weakness and will
be found reliable in any stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cure

TO BLACKLIST Ex-EmPLoYEs.
Street Car Companies of Eastern Cities
and Chicago Combining.


and Chicago Combining.
The street railway companies of New
York and other cities, including the
Yerl1es line in Chicago, are charged
with having carefully marked out q
scheme which will cause trouble in the
labor world. The railroads call it q
plan for mutual protection and i'm
provement of the service.
The employees say it is just an extern
sion of the blacklist idea, and that its
aim is the crushing of the labor organi-
cations. Director Thomas T. Ryan, Of
the Metropolitan Traction company, is
credited with the authorship Of the
plan.
According to the traction employees,
he is going around among the directors
of the various corporations, suggesting
that they all agree not to employ men
discharged by any corporation in the
combine. The blacklist is supposed to
be aimed at dishonest conductors OF
extensively vigorous strikers. If it is
adopted the names of discharged EN-.
ployes will be issued in the form of q cir
cular, weekly or monthly, and distrib.
uted among the corporations.
To guard against the possibility Of q
discharged man giving an assumed
name-which is now against the law
there will also be regular Bertillon re

companies hope to keep their payroll.

Necessity Of Figuring.

A great majority of our North
western farmers have only a vague
idea of the costs and returns of their
yearly labor. Few there are who take
advantage of an idle hour to do some
figuring to find out what a given field
has done in the way OF profits, or if
it has not failed to give any reward
for its tillage. We have often thought
that the struggle Of our writer's upon
farming, and the men who are en-
deavoring to educate and bring into
practical existence better class of
tillers, might be materially aided if
the farmer could be induced to do a
little less logged labor and spend a
little more time Figuring" The Sc
lection of a crop for field is very i'm
portant matter. 1t should be long
takes made. What would become of
a merchant who started up his store
with goods that were not in demand
in his locality? If a country dealer
piled his shelves high with costly
silks and satins, instead of calicos
and ginghams, his farmer patrons
would be the first to see the mistake
he had made, and mark him down as
a man who had slot to learn" be.
fore he could run a country store
Many do not stop to consider what
their fields are best suited to raise
what the probable result may be, and
often SOW whatever may happen tc
be handiest to use when the time
cones. But now that the terrible
shrinkage of value of farm products
and scarcity of money makes it al
most a battle for life to attempt to
farm for living, it behooves oul
farmers to consider we'll what they
do, and try to calculate the chances

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900.
Needless Alarm.

1t is becomiming apparent that
eastern newspapers have entered
upon campaign of Justification and
SANDER for the purpose of injuring
Kansas, Nebraska, and some other
western states. The east will learn
before going a great ways in this di-
rection that in business and indus
trial way the west is likely to stand
together. There are seaports besides
New York, and transfer points besides
Chicago.-Cedar Rapids Gazette.
The financial press of the east pre-
tend to be greatly alarmed over the
bimetallic victories in Kansas and
Nebraska and over the growing
strength of bimetalllsm through out
the west as we'll as in the refusal of
Colorado to issue bonds to up take
the ''excess warrants"
In Iowa these "excesss warrants"
are represented in warrants issued
for the ordinary current expenditures
of the the government aggregating
$750,000. These warrants when pre-
sented for payment are stamped mot
paid for want of funds" and the date
of presentation noted from which
date they bear the legal rate of inter
est of the state and are as safe as u
bond of the state the difference be-
ing that when taxes are paid the state
will pay, and the interest will cease
though the owner of the warrants
would like the money to remain in
vested for a series of years accepting
the state as debtor.
The financial press of the east is
giving place to all kinds of rumors
about unfavorable financial legisla-
ton and to impressive threats that
no capital will be invested in the
states which have detied dictation of
Wall street influence. The alarm is
needless so far as unfavorable legis
lation is concerned. No laws will be
passed in any western state that is
either unfair Or dishonest. Capital
is as safe invested in any western
state as if invested in
any of the eastern state, has always
been SO, and will always SO remain.
Threats are idle and can safely be
: disregarded. Money will always &c
where money is to be made. If there
is profit in the industries and pro
ducts of any state or people there
,,,o,,a1, will va Far ipvost,nopt in l,,ci

A STRANGE CASE.
Up Police Headquarters and Reports that He Has Been Beaten and
 Robbed.

Late yesterday afternoon white man and a stranger turned up at Police headquarters and asked for help and assistance. The man was Il very pitiful object. His head was cut across the skull clear through the bone. He gave his name as Wm. Wilson and said that he had been hit on the head with a bludgeon by negro and robbed of twenty dollars. He was in semi-consei. ous condition and had no clear recollection of the past. When asked where the robbery had occurred he said that 1t was somewhere about one hundred miles below this city, but he could not tell the place, when the robery occurred or where he was from. He was sent by Chief Stewart to a cheap boarding house Q to spend the night, and this morning he showed up again at police head quarters. The condition of the un- fortunate man was reported to County Judge Jones who made an appropriation of $20 for Wilson 's relief, and this morning the latter was sent to the county poor house and given medical attention.
 It is not thought that he can re- cover.
