The scheme of autonomy proposed
for Cuba by the new Liberal ministry
goes farther than previous projects OF
the kind. IL 1t We're carried out, Cuba
would have It's own legislature, chosen
directly by the people; ana this legisla-
the tariff, public instruction ana all
matters of internal administration.
There would be a ministry, appointed
by the Governor General. from this

II has been predicted that Africa

dorses the opinion. There are already
signs OF the coming trouble. Germany
Is watching British progress In Africa

Germany's foolish hostility to Eng
land, as voiced through her monarch,
naturally gives offense to Austrian ard
Italian statesmen, and to that ext .nt
weakcns the tie between the three ma
tlons. Thus far the net result of r'c
Kasicr's freaks in his efforts to Isolate
England has been the creation of n dis
trust toward himself among his friends

DANGER IN SODA.

Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's
 Excessive Use.
 Common soda is all right in its place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes. but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it.
 We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, hab- 1t which thousands of people practice al- most 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 ifnftant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record where it aecumu- lated in the intestines, causing death by inflammation or peritonitis.
 Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyapepsia) an excellent prepara- ton sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab lets are large 20 grains lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive clements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the foed perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system.
 Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stua-t's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach heterogeneous and finds them a. certain cure net only fer stom- ach but by promptly degesting the food they create healthy appetite increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not cathar- tic, but intended ony for stomach dis eases and weaknesses ard will be found reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

WANTED-A MAN

Speaking after the commercial mann r of the times it may be said that colleges are factories where the raw material boy-is turned into the finished product man. The many colleges in the land gre fast turning out this finished product: yet there Is no danger of overwhelming the mal'ket-+there is always work for a man to do. Every rsw enterprise, every railroad, every college, is on the lookout for a man. Sometimes 1t is very difficult to get the right article. The state uni versity Is still looking about for a presi-. dent. The Commercial club of this city IS still looking for a suitable man for conn. morcial and industrial agent Tn both of these positions combination man is wanted. The university wants a man who is scholar and also a business man. Scholarship and business rareiy go to- gither. There are many eminent scholars sn the state, and many successful busd- ness men, but there are few scholars who have succeeded in business and. there are few business men who are scholars
 The Commercial club desires man of many qualifications good and success ful business man, one who is thoroughly acquainted with Jefferson county. one sw who is accustomed to large affairs, one who knows how to approach men and convert them to his way of thinking
 The tendency of the age Is toward special education, and perhaps we have gone too far in that direction. There are plenty of men who are good bookkeepers, rnachimsts, editors, lawyers, teachers, etc. but they can do only one thing well. There are positions that must be filled by combination men, and we must .cultl- vate a few specimens of this variety. The horse that will work in harness and under the saddle Is always in demand.
