cessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable iR the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
it was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use 1t as such will some
day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-

ing death by Inflammation or peri
tOnitIs.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acjd dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids, peptones and digestive ele
ments essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before it
has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements, and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, hut by promptly digest
ing the food they create healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliable In any stom-
\ ach trouble except cancer Of the stom-

pepsia Tablets at scots. per package.

this nature, and the gentlemen think
they have struck just the right idea.

Forty Millions In Fifteen Months.

Special to the Post Dispatch.
NEW YORK, May standard Oil
Trust stock is selling in Wall street at
1900 share This is about s. share
above the highest previous price. The
shares have risen forty points in three
months. The Standard Oil Trust is
controlled and practically owned by ten
men The real owners are John D.
Rockefeller. H. H. Rogers, John D.
Archbold, Henry Nj. Flager and
William Rockefeller. The trust
capitalization is nearly one hundred
million, so that at the market price the
shares are worth $500 900 900. all con
trolled by five men. The trust has paid
within the last fifteen months about
40 per cent in dividends, and at a meet
ing TO be held in few days it is
expected that an extra dividend of 10
per cent $50 900, 000) will be paid in
addition to the regular quarterly
dividend of 9 per cent. The fact that

owners nearly $40 600, 900 within fifteen
months accounts for the extraordinary
rise in price. These profits would
seem incredible if they were not a
matter of actual record. The wealth of
Monte Cristo was a trifle compared
with the riches derived from this
gigantic and mysterious trust, virtually
controlled by quintet of men.
When the Standard Oil Co. was lay
ing the foundation for its present
gigantic monopoly it controlled most of
the members of the Pennsylvania legis
lature from the oil region and one half
the newspapers published there. One
of the officers of the Pennsylvania rail
road, high in authority when the secret
rebates to the Standard Oil Co., are
said TO have been given, retired from
Office after few years ON modest
salary with fortune estimated at 50, =
900 900.
Nearly all the officers of the Standard
Oil Co., have been prominent as the
benefactors of churches.
A member of the Pennsylvania legis
lature once declared that the Standard
Oil directors built two country churches
for every independent oil refner they
ruined and endowed as many colleges as
they caused suicides of men whom they
ruined. The Standard Oil Co., is
explosive at one end and evangelical at
the other. said Mr.. Henry DeMarest
Lloyd.

nations and future generations be
shaped, and the same right to walk up

ness and courteous treatment worked
up a business for that institution that

best and the showing made was highly
gratifying to the stockholders.

CITY LEGISLATURE.

The city council met in regular
session Monday evening with all except
Alderman Wood present. Nothing but
routine business came up before the
meeting and it was speedily dispatched.
Claims amounting to s403.O 90 were
allowed and the usual amount of $50
was appropriated for street work for
May.
Considerable interest was manifested
in the meeting because it had been
rumored that Mayor Smith intended
resigning his Office. The Mayor, how
ever, manifested no intention of doing
anything like that and intimated that
while he might be be gone good
portion of the time, he would attend all
meetings, leaving Recorder Hunt to try
cases and attend to such other business
of the Office.

When it polled but one quarter of that
number, and the Democratic party
polled the largest vote in its history,
the threat became ridiculous.
Under the present election laws of
most states. which make the polling of
at least two per cent Of the total vote in
the last preceding election necessary to
party representation on the official
ballot, the Boltocrats will not be en-
titled as a party to run an electoral
ticket in any state. Last year they
polled two per cent in but four states.
These were Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
Vermont and New Hampshire. In
Connecticut they polled two and a half
per cent of the total vote cast, in
Massachusetts about the same
percentage, in New Hampshire about
four and half per cent, and in
Vermont about two and quarter per
cent. In none of these four states did
they poll as high as five per cent of the
total vote. In none of the other states
did they poll to exceed one per cent of
the total
This is the National Democratic
party which proposes to keep up its
organization as menace to Dem
ocracy. After one campaign it finds
itself in such a humiliating position
that, in the next election, as in the last,
it must go on the ticket by petition of
electors, if it goes on at all. For even
in the states where it polled two per
cent last year it is not maintaining the
form of organization or exhibiting any
of the activity or potency of genuine
party. Nowhere is it recognized as a
political force. Nowhere is it con-
sidered as an element in party calcula-
tons. But everywhere it is recognized
as floating derelict, too small and too
rotten to be dangerous, and not worthy
of place in political chartings.
But without it what would become of
Carlisle and Bynum and the others of
the invalid corps, who pose as its
leaders at Belshazzar s banquets, and
magnify its numbers as Falstaff did the
buckram men at Cad Hillf To these
and such as these it stands for a force
with which to bring Crs9us to terms
with them. To everybody else it means
nothing but impotent dishonor.

The action of Senator McMullen, who
up to the time that the matter came TO
vote had been declaring himself as
fayoring railroad commission, in vot-
ing against the measure Wednesday
evening. changed into defeat what
looked up TO that time as a certain vic

does not represent the wishes of the
people and there will come a time of
reckoning for those who opposed the
measure. The following is the vote as

Arkansas as a Corn Producer.

From the Little Rock Gazette.
Corn growing in the South has been
on the increase since 1890, and the
figures given show that Arkansas has
not been behind her sister states in the
matter of increase; in fact, Arkansas
stands next to Texas in the list of the
states that have shown an increased
production, and Texas stands first BY
the official census of 1880 there were
produced in the United States in that
year $50 900 900 bushels of corn. and
by the figures of the department of
agriculture in 1895, the corn crop of the
United States was $50 600, 900
bushels. The increase was greatest in
the South. Alabama increased from
25. 900 600 to As 600 900 bushels. Ar
kansas increased from "a, 900, 900 to
so, 900 600. Louisiana increased from
10, 900 900 to % 900, 600. Georgia from
%, 600 900 to AZ, 900. 900. Florida from
3 600 600 to 0, 600, 600. and Texas, most
remarkable OF all, from 2e, OOO, 600 to

South Carolina from II 900 600 10 20, d

have been increasing their corn product.
the former corn states have either made
no gain or have fallen off. The South
is the region in which there has been

The increase is largely attributable. no

Mr.. Carlisle's "PartI."

From the St Louis Post-Dispateh.
Elk Secretary Carlisle says he thinks
the National Democrats should
maintain their organization separate
from what he is pleased to term the
free silver party. but which is, as d
matter of fact. the national Democratic
party Of the United States.
When the boilers convention which
met at Indianapolis last year organized
a national committee and solemnly
resolved TO maintain party organic
alton. the Post Dispatch declared the
action to be threat designed to prevent
the Democratic party, if defeated in
1895. from making another campaign
on the lines of the Chicago platform.
At that time. however. it was supposed
that the indianapolis ticket would
command at least half a million votes.
