like disagree with us, and all the
things we don't like, agree with
us. Dyspepsia turks IN most OF

Indigestion follows the graft

IT isn't Natures fault. Nature
does the best she can, and if a

what he likes and as much as

with Nature. They effect per.

them regularly only a little
while. After that, use them Oc-
easionally when you need them
when you have eaten anything

may be taken Just as freely az

used they are always in favor.

will be more light shed upon the much-vexed

PREPARING FOR FETEs IN GERMANY
Emperor William Issues Orders
Berlin Crowded With Sightseers.

Berlin, March 2.-The Army Gazette
publishes the following order of Emperor
William to the German army:
"The army will henceforth don the
German cockade which is in accordance
with the resolution which the federal
government has bestowed upon their
troops as Il visible injunction to defend
the greatness of Germany
In memory of March %, 1897, the emper-
or Institutes medal made out of bronze
from captured cannon and ornamented
with the portrait of William the Great to
be bestowed in the first instance upon
members of the army. Prince Luitpold
regent of Bavaria, and other federal
princes of the empire publish a similar
order.
The weather today has been cloudy, but
with occasional glimpses of sunshine
The streets of Berlin are crowded and
present an unusually animated appear
ance, almost everybody wearing the corn
flower, which was the favorite flower dec
oration of the old emperor. The members
of the imperial household attended divine
services at the Emperor William Memo
rial church. After the service the en-
peror drove in the state carriage to the
Potsdam station. There, mounting his
horse he went at the head of a militia
procession to transfer the military colors
to the William I. palace, where the EN-
press and the young princess stood at the
window, while the cheers of the populace
all but drowned the music of the bands
Other features which will occur in the
memorable program eliminating tomor-
row with the unveiling of the monument
on the Schoss Freihart are the banquet
given by Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial
chancellor, to the federal ministers and
other distinguished state officials, the i'm
posing ceremonies in the spacious halls of
the reichStag in the presence of the en-
peror, empress and imperial princes, and
all kinds of popular amusements.

FOR A FIFTY YEAR EXTENSION.
Baltimore & Ohio Asks Time in
Which to Take Up Bonds.

Cincinnati March 21.-The Farmers
Loan and Trust company of New York
has sued the Baltimore az Onio and other
holders of the consolidated bonds of the
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Com
pany, The trust company, as trustee of
the property conveyed to it by the Bal
timore & Ohio Southwestern Company
at the time of it's consolidation under
that name with the o. & NJ company
holds certified bonds amounting to $12,-
000,0oo, issued to take up the outstanding
bonds of the O. & NJ. Railway Company
a first lien on the property of that com
pany.
The Baltimore & Ohio Company guar
anteed that these bonds would be taken
up by the consolidation, but the Balti-
more 4 Ohio went into the hands of a re-
ceiver in February, 1896 and has been un-
able to make its guaranty good, SO that
the bonds of the consolidated company
have largely declined in market value
The Baltimore e Ohio Southwestern
Company, the mortgagors, proposed an
extension of the bonds for so years at 4
per cent, and the plaintiff asks the ad-
vice of the court in the interests of the
holders of bonds, payment of which will
default unless such extension is Sc
cured.

SETTLING FUR SEAL QUESTION.

One Way to Protect Life,

San Francisco, March 21.-Professor Da-

mission appointed by the United States
to investigate the fur seal industry, has
returned to this city from Washington
He says the new administration is taking
steps for the final settlement of the fur
seal question. The only wav. he says
to preserve the seal hord, is to totally
prohibit pelagic sealing. Great Britain
will be asked to join with the United
States, but if that government declines,
the United States would take aggressive
measures
The female seals at the rookeries will
be branded, and the value of their skins

SECRET SOCIETY RESERVE FUND
New Organizations Corresponding
ON the Subject.

Chicago, March 21.-The fact has devel-
oped that confidential correspondence has
been and is still in progress between the
national officers of the various fraternal
beneficial associations. including the Roy-
al Arcanum, National Union, Royal
League and the Maccabees looking to
united action at the next meeting of the
National Fraternal Congress, in favor of
the adoption by the societies of reserve
fund. and the incl ease of regular assess
ments or the calling of special assess
ments for that purpose. The step will be
a radical departure, inasmuch as opposi-
tion to the reserve-fund plan has hitherto
been the backbone and main argument Of
the fraternal organizations, on the
ground that no more money should be
called for than is actually needed from
month to month; and that, further, the
reserve-fund plan means the creation, in
Vestment and care of a large fund, adds
to the number of officers, materially in
| creases the salaries and other expendi-
lures, and to all intents and purposes,
puts the fraternal society on the same
plane as it's arch-enemy, the old-line COM
pany.
The supporters of the plan, however
and they include supreme officers of a
large number of organizations that have
hitherto been bitterly opposed to it-take
the ground that the steady increase in
deaths, and consequently in assessments,
| must inevitably lead to disintegration
| of the fraternal society, and that it is alb
solutely necessary, for the protection Of
the older members, to create a reserve
fund.- in order to meet such demand up-
of the finances as might be brought
about by an epidemic or similar catastro-
phe. The membership of the various Sc
cret societies that are working towards
this end runs into the hundreds of thou"
sands; and if the proposed reserve fund
is indorsed by the fraternal congress,
,in1, of ny,fa fi1,n If
all the societies, it will bring about a
storm of incalculable dimensions.
