He WAS FROM CHICAGO.
And He Gave an Exhibition of Windy
CITY Enterprise.

Ut is the Washington Post which
says: He was from Chicago, and he
darted into the office of an uptown
hotel at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, putting and breathless. He want
ed to know where Secretary Lyman J.
Gage could be found; his business
with the chief of the treasury was
pressing and important. 1t was given
him, and away the man from the Lake
City scurried. He was doomed to dis
appointment for on inquiry the sad
news was related that Mr. Gage had
taken a revenue cutter and sailed down
the Potomac.
Thirty minutes later the Chicagoan
was at the foot of Seventh street, bar
gaining with the owner of a modest
skiif to row him Alexandriaward.
When opposite the docks of that an
cient and historic city the skipper
sung out that the revenue cutter was
in sight and steaming toward them at
a lively pace.
Get right in the channel and row
for the cutter as hard as you can"
sung out the solitary passenger.
But she'll run us down and drown
u.s." quoth the boatman. "I want to
live few years longer, and have a
fancy for burial on dry land"
do as I tell you, and I'll add $40 to
your feet. Mr.. Gage is my friend. and
he'll never let us be run down. Where
is your nerve. mani"
The officer in charge of the govern
:nent boat was astounded to see a small
skiff bear right down on Uncle Sans
craft carrying a member of President
Mckinley's cabinet. Personally, he
would have liked to sink the impudent
fellows in the row boat, but he had TO
give heed to the frantic shouts and
waving handkerchief of a supposed lu-
natic, who wanted to stop the cutter.
Mr.. Cages attention was attracted by
the racket, and Immediately the secre-
tary espied friend and neighbor in
the little boat. He gave orders to have
him taken aboard, and the cutter pro-
ceeded on it's way to Washington get
ting here in time to let the enterprs-
ing Westerner catch a fast train for

FOR THE BABY.
A Valuable Hint TO Every Father and
MOtber.

There are two kinds of babies In the
world; the kind who have too little nour-
shment and the kind who have too much.
The first kind of babies starve because
their stomaChs are too weak to digest the
amount of food necessary for their
growth and healthful development ana
the other kind are overfed with the result
that the delicate stomach and tntestines
are inflamed and as every mother Knows
thousands of infants die yearly when
warm weather begins, from stomach ana
bowel disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrup and cathartics,
however mild, are not what is demanded.
Go to the root of the trouble, assist the
chid's digestion, give the little stomach
the aid necessary to thoroughly ana
promptly digest its food and the little
one will thrive and grow and gladden. the
mothers heart.
To give perfect digestion to the child 1t
is only necessary to give In pleasant
form the harmless digestive contained IN
the well-known tablets sold in drug
stores under the name of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets. Stuarts Tablets contain
no so-called drugs, but are composed OF
pepsin, pure aseptic, fruit acids, starch
dgestives and are put up in lozenge
form with sugar of milk, very pleasant
TO the taste and have been used for years
as the safest, best remedy for any form
of indigestion 2nd stomach troubles in
ADULTS, Dul Recently many iShi''i fN"Di,
cures have been made In the cases OF
weakly babies who failed TO grow ana
thrive as they should.
A Buffalo mother a short time ago who
despaired of the life of her babe was so
delighted with the results from giving
the child these tablets that she went be-
fore the notary public of Erie Co., N. Y,
and made the following AFFIDAVIT:
Gentlemen:-Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
were recommended to me for my two
months old baby, which was sick and
puny and the doctors said was suffering
| from indigestion. 1 took the child to the
| hospital, but there found no relief. A
| friend mentioned the Stuart Tablets and
| | procured a box from my druggist and
used only the large sweet lozenges in the
| box and was delighted to find they were
| just the thing for my baby.
| | feel justified in saying that Stuarts
| Dyspepsia Tablets saved my childs life
Mrs. w. T. Dethlopf
| Subscribed and sworn to before me this
18th day of April, 1897.
Henry Karis,
| Notary Public in and for Erie Co., N. Y
For babies. no matter how young OF
| delicate, the tablets will accomplish won
| ders in increasing flesh, appetite anc
| growth. Use only the large sweet tablets
| in every box. Full sized boxes are solo
| by all druggists for 80 cents, and no pa
| rent should neglect the use of this safe
| remedy for all stomach and bowe
troubles if the child is ailing in any way
regarding it's food or assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets has beer
| known for years as the best preparation
! for all stomach troubles whether II
adults or infants.

large barns on the farm of James j.
Leighton were struck by lightning and
burned to the ground. The bolt killed
two horses and one COW. Nothing of
any value could be saved, as the fire
started in the hay loft and spread
with great rapidity. The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000, with $1,5OO in
surance.
Mr.. Leighton's son, Frank, had just
put out the team which was killed, and
was leaving the barn as the building
was struck. He was thrown to the
ground and found by his father in a
dazed condition.
