A PrinceIy Dandy.

The greatest dandy in the world is
Prince Albert Of Thurn. This fastid-
ious young man attires himself in a
new suit every day, enough yearly to
keep twenty experienced workmen 60
ing, and to run up a bill Of $4,000.
Each suit of wearing apparel is highly
perfumed with altar Of roses at $25 an
ounce. He wears no less than 1000
neckties during year, being an aver
age of three a day. A laundry en-
plOying u people is kept specially for
washing his soiled linen, which he
never wears more than twice, and his
cast-off boots number 00pairs year.
The cigarette bill of this highly-scent-
ed young gentleman reaches the re-
spectacle total of $1,000 per annum,
and the different sports he engages in,
including hunting, shooting, fishing,
golfng and bicycling, cost him more
than $4,000.

Rabbit Drives in Idaho.

About 20000jack rabbits and black
tails have been killed with clubs on the
broad sage-brush plains that stretch
across Eastern Idaho during the past
six weeks, as result of seven "rabbit
drives, in which the trembling little
animals have been surrounded and
driven into great corrals and merci'
lessly dubbed to death.
Rabbits are probably the greatest
pest against which the Idaho farmer:
and ranchers have to contend. They
are death to young orchards, to grow
ing grain and young vegetables. II
one night they lay waste a field o
growing wheat or nibble to the grounc
the green alfalfa meadows. In the
sage-brush plains they are bred by the
hundreds Of thousands. They multi
ply with fearful rapidity. A section
of country from which 5000 have beer
driven and slaughtered has been know
to yield half as many more for a sec
ond drive within three days.

What Else Would You Expect?

Those powerful Democratic daily
papers, by whose assistance the Re-
publican party were enabled to wreck
the party by which they had been
built up, are now dead SOLE on the
party they assisted into power. The
New York Post in writing editorially
about the pending legislation as pro-
lection to trusts etc. has this to say {:
The Dingley bill, we regret to say, is
the worst one IN this respect that ever
came before an American Congress with
any prospect of passing. 1t is consider
ably worse than the Mckinley bill of
1890 although we were led to believe in
the campaign Of last year that while Re-
publican success would require some in
crease in the tariff it would be moderate
and reasonable. Undoubtedly the Re-
publican leaders were sincere in hold
ing out this view, but they reckOned
without their host. Their host was
composed of powerful private interests
which are organized on the principal of
grabbing all that is in sight. The Sugar
Trust is one Of these. 1t Is no worse
than the rest, but is little more con-
spicuous by reason of its size. The law
Of its being is to make money, and if its
directors omitted any opportunities for
profit either through tariff legislation or
any other means, they would be unfit for
their places and would not hold them
long. The mischief at the bottom is
that the protective tariff affords the OPP
pOrtunities for private profit at public
expense. When our fiscal system is con-
structed on this basis. we must expect
these consequences. No band or body of
men organized for profit will ever post
pone present advantage which is GER
tain for future one which is uncertain.
1t is useless, therefore, to tell the wool
growers or any other class that this mon
strous bill, even if enacted, cannot be
permanent. Indeed, they were told this
very thing when the Mckinley bill was
pending, and the prediction came true,
but the result had no effect except to
make them hungrier than before.

A Poets Kindness.

A story has been going the rounds
of the newspapers, which is partly
true but it puts facts in false hight
as stories always do when only half
told. 1t was originally printed several
years ago, and ran as follows: Mrs.
Field had laid by enough money to pay
the quarterly installment upon Mr..
Fields life insurance, and she handed
him the sum to make the payment. On
his way down town he met a man who
had large collection of butterflies,
consisting of 800 specimens, which so
fascinated Mr.. Field that he forgot all
about the life insurance, and immedl-
ately purchased the entire collection.
The truth is that Mr.. Field did start
ont to Pay for Or buy something which
was needed, but not to make life In
surance payment. Also, he did meet
an old man with collection Of butter
flies. The old man was a gentleman
he knew, friend who had lost his
wife and two children. Besides, the
week before, the house with all its
contents had been destroyed by fire,
The man was absolutely without means,
home, or friends. He happened to have
the butterflies left, as at the time Of
the fire they were in the house of a
friend. When Mr.. Field returned he
said:
81 did not want the butterflies, but
I had to give that poor old man the
money, and he would not take it I'M
less I accepted the collection.
1t was simply one more instance of
the fact that the gentle-hearted poet
could not leave friend in misery while
he had the money in his pocket to help
him.-Martha Nelson Yeno'ri1ae, IN 81.

Free Stop-oyer at Washington.

On all through tickets between the
east. west. north and south, reading via
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Stop-over
al Washington can be secured, without
extra charge for railroad fare. by depos-
i1ing the ticket, upon arrival at Wash
ington. with the B. & o. station ticket
agent at that point. Washington is al
ways attractive to visitors, and particu-
larry SO while Congress is in session.
This arrangement for stop-over privilege
will doubtless be appreciated by the pub
lie, and will bring to the National Capt.
tai many travellers to view its superb
public buildings, monuments, museums
and thoroughfares.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE
IDEA OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE
FOR DYSPEPSIA AND
STOMACH TROUBLES.
Ridicule, However, is Not Argu-
ment and Facts are Stub
born Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
In many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestlon. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
bugged, especially on medicines.
Ihls fear Of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak di-
gestion rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
of preparation so reliable and uniyer-
sally 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 a secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of
their ingredients, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
terments, pure aseptic pepsin, the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth,
hydrastis and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerful
ly on any organ, but they cure indiges-
ton on the common sense plan of a..
costing the food eaten promptly,
thoroughly before it has time to fer
ment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is tie only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because 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 it., Food not digested or half digest
ed is poison as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite, and
many other troubles which are oft n
called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 90 cents per package. Address Stuart

blood from them. We assure Mr.. Grant
that the silver issue il not dead and is
not likely to be in 1900. Mr. Grant will

will re.affirm the Chicago platform OF

State Department Expects to Receive
Result of Blanco's Policy.
New York, Nov. 15.--A dispatch to
The Tribune from Washington says .
Important advices are expected from
Consul General Lee in Havana this
week. By this time it is thought some
idea should be had as to whether Cen
eral Blancos policy is cansiug improve
ment in the condition of the starving
reconCentrados.
The prospects of negotiations be.
tween the Spanish authorities and the
insurgents may also be determined by
the presence of General Lee. The in.
surgent leaders have already stated un.
mistatably that they will not accept
autonomy. Little hope is felt IN ad.
ministration circles that they will
change their minds.
Nevertheless an intimation has been
thrown out that General Gomez and
his associates i'll the field were waiting
an opportunity to communicate with
the representatives of the United States.
Their position is said to be that, as this
country has offered it's good offices to
Spain to end the war, 1t is competent
to receive q suggestion from other
parties to the war.

WILL REBUILD
And Under a New Name Substantial
Strides in a New Business

Messrs. William Dannemiller, w. f.
Schario and W. p. Ginther are organizing
what is to be known as The Canton Clay

some time ago. 1t is the purpose of the
new company to rebuild on the site of the
old Champion, and work has commenced
on building 1S1 feet long with an aver
age width of so feet. Besides the plant
in the city, the company owns 2S acres of
fine clay and coal lands along the Canton
& Waynesburg road. Insulators and clay
novelties will be manufactured under
the direction of a competent superinten-
dent,
