THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Senators Still Discussing the Dupont Con-
tested Election Case.

tested Election Case.
WASHINGTON, April 13. Tho Dupont
election case is being reviewed in the SEN
ate today, Senator Chandler speaking in
support of the committee report favorable
to seating Mr.. Dupont. He probably will
be followed by Senator Gray in opposition
to the report. If there is any time left the
consideration of the Indian appropriation
bill will be proceeded with. There will
then be an effort to go ON with the Indian
bill until 1t shall be disposed Of but there
are several special orders on the calendar
for the week which may interfere more OF
less with this program.
There Is a unanimous agreement to take
up Senator Peffer's resolution for the in
vestigation of the bond issues for the past
two years tomorrow. If not set aside the
question probably will give rise to a
spirited financial debate of uncertain dura-
tion. The bill to reduce the cases in which
the death penalty may be imposed in the
United States courts is a special order for
Wednesday. Senators Lodge and Nelson
have given notices for speeches on Thurs
day on the immigration bill reported by
Mr.. Lodge from the committee on immi-
grafton
The sectarian school question is still un-
disposal or, ana Un6 ueDhUe on lnls may
require another day. Either Senator Platt
or Senator Jones viii propose the amend
ment agreed upon by the committee on
Indian affairs looking to a change of the
land system and the breaking up of the
tribal relations of the Indians in Indian
Territory.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill-the last Of the supply bills-is in pro
cess of preparation in the house appro-
priation committee and pending the re-
porting of the bill to the house variety
of matters, which have been held in abey-
anoe in order that the appropriation bills
might be pressed, will be brought up for
action. The most important of these is
the bankruptcy bill, to which 1t Is expected
the house will devote several days There
are also several minor banking bills, in
elHding bill TO increase the circulation
of national banks to the par value of the
bonds deposited, and one or two general
pension bills. 1t is expected that the for
tification bill will be passed before ad-
journment tonight.

INTERESTING STATEMENT
OF A NEW YORK GENTLEMAN.
Regarding the New Discovery for Cure of
Dyspepsia and Indigestion

Some weeks ago the newspapers of the
country devoted considerable space to an
account Of an interesting discovery in
medicine, which, it was claimed, would cure
all forms Of dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
Since that time many experiments have been
made with the remedy in order to demon
strate just how much real merit it possessed.
The results of these experiments have been
all that could be desired in fact, in many
cases the cures very little short of wonderful.
The remedy is prepared in lozenge or tab
let FORM pleasant to the taste, and harmless.
No secret is made of its ingredients, being
composed Of vegetable essences, fruit salts,
pure pepsin and bismuth. They are sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsa Tablets, and are undoubtedly the
safest and most reliable remedy to use when
the stomach is weak, or any trouble what
ever with the digestive organs.
Mr.. G. Bensinger, of the firm of Bensinger
& Co., and Dey street, New York City,
relates his experience briefly but unmistaka-
/ bly,. He says: Some three months ago |
purchased at drug store two boxes of Stuart's
| Dyspepsia Tablets and take great pleasure
in stating that after using about half of one
/ fifty cent box l felt such wonderful relief
from the dyspepsia l was suffering from that
l did not need the rest of the box Having
many friends who were equally troubled with
some form or other of Indigestion, | suggested
and offered to them some of the Tab
lets and the verdict of all who have
taken them is the same, that they
are wonderful in their effect and the best
thing of the kind. have nothing but the
best wishes for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Very truly,
G. BENSINGER,
and Dey St., New York
Thoughtful men and women are cautious
regarding patent medicines and very prop
erly so. Being secret preparation you can
not know just what you are taking into your
stomach. With Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
composed as they are of pure, fresh pepsin,
vegetable essences fruit salts and bsmuth,
no risk is incurred. The overworked, irri-
table stomach is at once invgorated and
rested, and perfect digestion means strong
nerves and mucles, clear head, energy for
mental or physical work and capacity to
enjoy life.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. If yours does not happen to have them
he will get them for you, as they are sold by
all wholesalers.
