THE TARIFF QUESTION.
The Posts Washington special says:
1t is understood that Representative
Newlands of Nevada has successfully
negotiated a treaty with a sufficient
number of free silver senators from the
mountain districts of the west to in
cure the passage of a tariff bill at the
special session which will be called by
Major Mckinley next March
Mr. Newlands has been at work upon
this matter for weeks and has carried
on the negotiations with great skill. The
deal has been of the most confidential
character and few persons outside of
those directly concerned and those in
the innermoSt secrets of Major McKin-
ley are supposed TO know anything about
1t. The perfect symmetry Of the new
tariff bill may be somewhat disturbed
by the necessity of robust recognition
of interests represented by the free sil-
Yer allies of straight out" Republl-
cans, but the practical side of the case
demands much care.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not De Alarmed, but Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due TO the excitement
and worry of American business life, 1t is
more often the result of weak stomachs, Of
poor digestion.
but not one case in q hundred OF heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way, also, the heart, if affect
ed by that form of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half d-
gested food: there is a feeling of oppression
and heaviness in the chest caused by pres
sure of the distended stomach on the heart
and lungs. interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes Il thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular use
after meals. of some safe, pleasant and ef-
Dyspepsia Tablets. which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain valu-
able, harmless digestive elements, in n
pleasant convenient form.
II Is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
ach trouble except cancer of stomach.
Full size packages of the Tablets sold by
most druggists at 50 cents, or by mail from

Divorce Case Reviewed.

Mrs. Mollie Jamison, who sued her hus-
band, ]. ]. Jamison, for divorce at the last
term of court, has filed in Judge Gates di-
vision a motion to review the decision of
Judge Dobson, who refused to give either
party divorce, and placed their child,
Peari Jamison. in the Children's home. In
support of her motion, Mrs. Jamison yes
terday filed an affidavit, in which she
states that she has worked as a domestic
until she has saved enough money to en-
ploy an attorney; that she cannot live
without her child, and that the latter, who
is about . years of age, is pining for its
mother.
AT the trial of the case Mr.. Jamison as
sailed his wife's character, and had a num-
ber of disreputable women on the stand to
prove that his wife had acted in an i'm
proper manner.
Mr.. Jamison charged that his wife was
passing off as her brother a man who was
living at her home. This man was brought
into court, and 1t was seen that there was
a very remarkable resemblance between
the two But, singularly enough, he and
details of their previous history, the num-
ber of children In their fathers family. the
time when they left home nor their move
mentS since that date. In view of this
discrepancy Judge Dobson refused to give
either party a divorce, and took the child
from the parents. Mrs. JamiSon created a
dr.: matte scene in the court room when the
decision was announced; declaring that she
would kill the child and herself before she
would allow her to be taken from her. She
is making a desperate fight to secure the
child.

THE NEW WAVE.
Physical Culture, Pure Food and
Drink Marks n New Era.

Drink Marks n New Era.
A great popular pure drink and pure food
wave is just now passing over the country,
and 1t seems to have come to stay.
More attention is being given to articles
of food and drink than heretofore and peo-
pie are slowly learning that good health
cannot be preserved under the present civ
ilization unless the habits are of a more
natural character. The apparently harm
less coffee habit now numbers its victims
by the thousands, producing obstinate
stomach and bowel troubles that will not
abate except by leaving off the habit.
1t is not always an easy task to drop a
lifetime habit.
One of the late discoveries is a pure food
coffee, made entirely of grains and possess
ing great fattening and nourishing proper
brown color of Mocha and, when cream is
added. it takes the rich golden brown of
old Java. The taste is pungent and piquant,
quite similar to coffee; in fact so close to
it in aroma and favor that the coffee
drinker who has had trouble with coffee
will freely take on the new grain drink
when he discovers that it agrees with him
perfectly, and its healthful properties
quickly dismiss his former ails.
The great feature of this new and ration
al method of dismissing sickness is to avoid
drugging oneself and quit hurtful habits
taking in only what is known to be pure
natural food, such as the Creator intended
for mans subsistence.
DIR. Wesley A. Dunn, editor of Medical
Current" Marshall Field building, Chicago.
says: Il am highly pleased with it,
Nothing is more to the point than this
new food drink made from grains 1t bears
the name of Postum Cereal." and is made
by the Postum Cereal Co, lim., Battle
Creek. Mich.
1t claims to be direct and quick pro-
ducer of new blood corpuscles by the nat
ural method of good nourishing food taken
in liquid form. 1t is quite bit less ex-
pensive than coffee, and altogether it's use
appeals to ones common sense.
Beware of fraudulent limitations of the
