PEPSIA, OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as n Cause Of scri.
Gus Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form
of indigestion resulting from fermenta-
tion of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest 1t. the food
remains until fermentation begins, fill
ing the stomach with gas, and bitter,
sour, burning taste in the mouth Is
often present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic and being an every day
occurrence Is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t Is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and Is now becoming rapidly used for
every form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at so cents per
package. 1t IL prepared by the Stu

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Dec. S.-The stock market
opened this II Crning with a tremendous
show of amin alton and vigorous upward
tendency, gains being uniform pretty
much throughout the list. 1t was evident
that the strength displayed by the mar
ket yesterday had brought orders to the
commission houses to buy stocks. Sugar
was the one exception in the strength OF
the market At the opening, but its loss
soon widcned and heavier liquidation in
the stock set in, offerings being very
heaNy and active support being Of no
avail to recover its losses. Yesterdays
rumor of an extra dividend was thor
oughly discredited this morning, and yes
terday's gain was. in consequence, COM
pletely wiped out before the announce
ment of the regular dividend. The stock
was very feverish all day and fluctuated
widely and frequently, but worked con-
stantly towards a lower level and closed
near the lowest at net loss of ias. Total
sales were nearly l2O,oJ0 shares. Tie
market was kept unsettled all day. When
the general advance came to stop dull
ness intervcned and there were fire.
quent rallies. Early in the final hour
prices of many stocks were at the best,
but the final drop in Sugar again weak
ened prices all around ard left net gains
confined to fractions in almost all cases
and a fair Sprinkling of losses all through
the list. Total sales were i35,J0o shares.~

A MAN IN A RED CRAVAT

NEW YORK, Nov. %. Mark Twain cables to the World from Vienna:
 In the Austrian House of Deputies on Thanksgiving Day, in the midst of a deafening tumult, l saw mo- tion read which nobody heard and passed by nobody knows whom for, indeed, it was not passed at all.
 It was aimed at the obstruction ists and placed autocratic powers in the hands of the president of thepar- llament. This was a victory for the government, but was unlawfully won and vas simple Hsurpati0n, Naturally Saturdays session would be historical. I went early, arriving when the house was empty. In an hour two or three members were on the floor and the galleries were packed.
 was in the gallery directly oppO- site the presidents tribune, and had perfect view.
 There was not much noise then, but the atmosphere was charged with suspense and expectancy. All the vast house was holding it's breath. A long wait, then a stir and craning of necks, and by a door far to the right the presidents and presidents entered.
 The house rose and q hurricane of insults and generations burst from the opposition and blew them to their places. Both sides roarcd and shouted and stormed.
 Two dozen Socialists stood in a body below the ministerial desks, shouted up at the president and shook their fist furiously at him.
 He said something to the house at least one could hear his lips move and he spread his large hand de

No matter how poor a man in this world may be, he can consider himself fortunate if he was born of honest and industrious parents, , says the New Orleans States, be cause, with few exceptions, what is
 born in the bone comes out in the flesh, and this has recently been
 shown as a result of some interest ing studies on the doctrine of hered-
 ity made by Dr, Peelman, a distin-
 guished professor in the University of Bonn. The case he investigated
 was that of Frau Ada Jurke, who for sixty years has been a resident of Cologne. She was a confirmed
 profigate, addicted to all debasing vices, and frequently convicted of crime; was the mother of several children, and six generations of her posterity, numbering altogether 834 persons, can be traced. Professor Peelman located and secured the bi- ographies of 709 members of this re- markable family.
