TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, TO Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make a Test of Stuart'a
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience Of nm Indians
apoIis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo-
pie having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring rem
edies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of: the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any,
pain whatever in the stomach nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
not in the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular; in others the kid
neys are affected; in others the bowels are
constipated. with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite with
accumulation of gas, sour risings and heart
burn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind. writes as follows:
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to

antinng Houston on his return from that

Potatoes in ireland bad.

LONDON, Oct 11-Timothy Healy, Anti
Parnellite member of Parliament for North
Louth, who has just returned from a tour
in Ireland, says, in the course of an inter-
view: THE potatoes are generally bad, but
all the crops have been saved where the
farmers had the sense or the money to
spray them. No doubt there will be keen
distress in the southwestern and western
counties during the coming winter and
spring. In some places it may approach
starvation.
Mr.. Healy admitted that there had been
some eXaggeration of the difficulties as he
said 1.-The fact that the landlords belittle the
stories of dearth makes the other side more
insstent in order to get a hearing" He ex
pressed the hope that recent improved
weather had partially saved the situation

Bitter Speeches at John Redmond's
Irish Convention.

DUBLIN, Oct. 1.-THE first general ma
tional convention Of the Irish Independent
League, organized by John Redmond. M.
p, the Parnellite leader opened this after
noon in the ancient concert rooms here.
Eight hundred enthusiastic delegates
packed the hall and actively participated in
cheering vociferously every. point in the
speeches which met with their approval and
in jeering the names of Dillon. Healy and
Davitt, as well as kissing the name of Mr..
Gladstone, when Mr.. Redmond character
lied him as the "Englishman who betrayed
Ireland" Every reference to the struggle
of 1898 was greeted uproariously particu-
larly Mr.. Redmond's reading of the oath
taken by the revolutionists. All the
speeches paid tribute to the patriotism of
the late Charles Stewart Parnell. and warm
cheers greeted the entrance of the Red
monds John Parnell and Patrick o Brlen
into the hail.
The climax of the convention was reached
when, during a speech delivered by William
Redmond, he said that when the DllOniteS
rejected Parnel they "alienated the United
States, thus killing the goose that laid
the golden egg" Continuing Mr. Redmond
said he would never walk into any room to
be controlled by Dillon and Healy, though
he was for unity, adding: With all the
royal professions through our streets it Is
time for lrishmen to say something. The
great mass of the Irish people are to-day,
and will be until liberty is given them the
enemies of England England is bully,
pirate and a savage. Whether in India or
Africa, the bloody flag of the British en-
pire has been advanced by plundering and
destroying poor people. Our sympathy goes
out to these poor people. God bless them
and give success to their efforts. Three
cheers for the men in India who are fight
ing England"
The delegates thereupon climbed on their
seats and shouted: Down with Britainl'
The meeting had up to that point been of

nunciation of England and talk of 1898 fol-

stance, saying that Ireland would have her
jubilee in 1898, "oversthe attempt OF honest
men to do honest work for Ireland" There
was also much denunciation of Great Brit
ain's proposed policy to give Ireland Cath
Ole university. The participation of the
priests in politics was condemned and the
Healyites were condemned as 1.-The assassins
of Parnell." There was however, no dis
cord whatever, and the resolutions were all
adopted with enthusiasm, and the reading
of a telegram from the Irish Independent
League of New York was heartily cheered.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Judge Hancey to-day
appointed Joseph w. Suddard and Arthur
Walsh permanent receivers for the Me-
chanics and TradeEs' Savings, Loan and
Building Association, for which temporary
receivers were appointed last July. A
rather startling state of affairs was dis
closed when the report of Expert Bard,
who had been appointed to examine the as
sociation's books, was made. According to
this report, Secretary Charles G. French
owes the association about $3.50 900. He
holds property of the association, either in
his own name or in the names of friends, on
cured by mortgages on property, the APP
praised value of which, according to the
pert's report, does not exceed SIS, 900. French

HAMBURG, Oct. 1.-THE editor in chief
of the Hamburg Echo, Herr Rheinbold
Stencil, charged with lese majesty against
Leopold, King of the Belgians, was tried
here to-day, convicted and sentenced. The
proceedings were taken at the request Of
Baron Greinedel Belgian minister at Berlin.
The offense imputed consisted in the
publication of several articles asserting that
King Leopold had habitually encouraged
gambling; that he had his own table at
Ardennes and personally protected the
gambling saloons at OStend. Herr Stencil
denied the authorship of the offending arti-
cles but accepted responsibility for them.
The public prosecutor demanded a sentence
of six months imprisonment. The court
imposed a sentence of eight months and
ordered the immediate arrest of Herr Stem
eel. There is reason to believe he will en-
deavor to evade the execution of the war
rant by leaving the country.

Department store Closed.

CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-THE department store
of the Simmons Company, POP and 2O4 State
street, has been closed by creditors under
chattel mortgages. The amount of indebt-
edness represented in the failure is esti-
mated in the neighborhood OF $100, 900, and
the assets, it is believed, will aggregate
about the same figure. Inability to meet
payments promptly was assigned as the
creditors under whose mortgage the closure
was effected were f. Seigel & Brother,
cloak manufacturers, and j. V. Farwen &
Co., dry goods. Their combined claims
amounted to $45 900. 1t is estimated that the
remaining creditors in Chicago and the East
would represent an additional $1,000 or
S55 600 of Indebtedness.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct 1.-THE an
nual meeting of the Indiana Synod of the
Presbyterian Church began tonight with
Rev w. O. baltimore of Crown Point, the
retiring moderator, presiding. DIR. Charles
Little, of Wabash, called the roll, and Rev.
r. V. Hunter, of Indianapolis. proposed the
election of an elder as moderator and placed
w. w. Beyers, of Laporte, in nomination.
There was opposition at once to this radi-
cal proposition and President Burroughs, of
Wabash College, a minister, was placed in
nomination against the elder. The minis
ters were greatly divided, but Mr.. Beyers
was elected. The vote was not announced.
1t is said that only two other synods in the
country have ever elected an elder as mod
orator. Mr.. Beyers was principal of the
High School in this city for many years I'M
til his removal to Laporte few years ago.
DR.. Little facetiously said he wouldn't want
the elders to get everything and nominated
the Rev. George Knox and the Rev. Oxto-
by for temporary clerks, and they were
elected.
During the sessions, which will continue
until Wednesday evening, there will be adj
dresses by the Rev. William II. Weaver
and the Rev. Erskine White, of the church
board, from New York. Tomorrow after
noon the Lords supper will be administered
to the members of the synod and the sacra-
ment address will be delivered by the Rev.
Douglas Pitman, of Logansport. A popular
meeting in the interest of foreign missions
will be held in the evening, when the prin-
cipal address will be made by the Rev DIR.
Arthur ]. Brown, national secretary of the
board of foreign missions. Wednesday aft
ernoon reports of committees will be re-
ceived and then will come the exciting dis
cussion of the sessions. Some of the minis
ters are of the opinion that the services of
the Rev. Frank Hays as state mission or
ganizer be dispensed with, while others
believe that it is essential that there be in
the fleld state ORGANIZER. me last session,

the Rev. Sol c. Dickey, the Rev. Frank
Hays and the Rev. r. V. Hunter.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11.-Capt. ]. S.
Humphrey, superintendent of the Pacific
Steam Whaling Company, having his head
quarters on Prince William sound, but who
spends most of his time in the Copper river
country, is in the city. He declares the
whole region is rich but that food is very
scarce. Before leaving Alaska Capt Humph-
rey took party of fifteen from San Diego,
with ex-Sheriff O'Neil, of San Luis Obispo,
at their head, to the Copper river. He left
them about ten miles up the stream. He
says they were we'll equipped, but he does
not expect they will succeed in getting
much further up the river at least for
some time.
