Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience OF an indianapolis
Gentleman.


Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and spring
remedies; 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 organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accumula-
tion Of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect

"A motive OF pure gratitude prompts me

Gus dyspepsia for the last four years; have

fact" Respectfully yours,
A. w. SHARPER,
61 Prospect St., indianapolis, Ind.
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or
disease except cancer of stomach. They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss OF flesh and
appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heart
burn, constipation and headache.

TRACING THE BONDS.
Half Those Belonging to the Illinois
University Have Been Found.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The disappear.
ance of $500, 600 of endowment bonds
of the University of Illinois has caused
a general scanning of securities held
w the different banking institutions
II ibis city, and it has been discovered
hat the First National bank has in its
vaults nearly 800, 900 of the bonds
which formed the endowment fund Of
the university, of which President G.
w. S~palding of the insolvent Globe
Savings bank, as treasurer Of the uni
verslty, was custodian. Some of these
bonds were sold outright to the bank,
others are held as collateral for loans
made to S~palding. Another national
bank is said to hold some of the bonds.
Some trace of the cash belonging to
the University Of Illinois has also been
found. On Saturday, April 3, the last
business day before the failure Of the
Globe Savings bank, Herbert Skinner,
%palding's private secretary, drew SD
900 from the Globe Saving Bank and
deposited in the Northwestern bank, to
~Spalding's private account.

Saving a mans life is looked upon as the
greatest service that can be rendered him.
If he is in danger. he feels forever grateful
TO the friend who saves him. If he is de-
livered from savages, or from wild animals,
or from drowning. or from the teeth of q
shark, he can hardly find words to express
Iis gratitude. Is it surprising then that DR..
Pierce has received thousands and thous-
ands of enthusiastic letters from those who
have been saved from death and lingering
disease by his wonderful Golden Medical
Discovery" Hundreds of these people
write to say that they had suffered for years;
that life had become miserable and that
death would have been welcome. Some of
them say that doctors had given them up to
die. when the use of the Discovery"
brought them back to happy life and health.
This great remedy is meant for any one who

Dies MONIES, April l5.-The house

has reported to the house. The COM
mittee find, much extravaganza IN
state officers III the employment of

IN number and salaries paid.
The report charges extravaganza by
the executive council and recommends
its power to spend money be curtailed.
Supplies have not been accurately ac-
counted for, and reform is demanded
in this respect. The number of com.
mittee clerks should be reduced. The
state census cos the state over Sl2S, 900
and is very unreliable. CLERKS were
pad 90 per cent too much, and some.
according TO the report, We're made to

are mainly against the system, not
against individuals, who are said 10

PICKED Up WORTHLESS OBJECTS
Result of Gathering of Scrap Metals by
Brussels School Children.

WASHINGTON, April 1+.-Consul Ger.
main, in a report from Zurich, with
regard to a plan recently introduced in
the public schools of several European
cities, says:
In Brussels the children attending
public school were" requested by their
teachers to gather up on their way to
and from the school, all such appar.
emily valueless objects as old metallic
bottle caps, tin foil, tin cans, paint
tabes, refuse metal, ETC.. and deliver
their collection daily to their respective
teachers.
In the period from Jan. l to Oct. /,
1893, or within : months, the follow
ing amounts were collected: Tin foil,
1903 old paint tubes 22O pounds; bot.
tie caps. 4,4lo pounds scraps of metal,
1921 pounds, total, 1881 pounds.
This apparent rubbish was disposed of,
and the proceeds applied so as to com.
pletely clothe 500 poor children, and
send 90 sick mes to recuperation col.
onies, and there still remained quite a
balance, which was distributed among
the poor sick of the city.

Trustworthy Reports Received Mt Larissa

LARIsSA, April j. -TrustwOrthy re.
ports received here confirm the state
ments that the Greek irregulars have
captured Baltino, in Macedonia. The
Turks lost 40 men killed. The insur.
gent chief Davelis occupied q strong
position in the mountains near krania.
His force was later attacked by a Turk
ish battalion from Villimiste, but the
Turks were repulsed with severe loss.
The Greeks then assumed the offensive,
cut up the Turkish detachment, cap
tared Is mules, a convoy of provisions
and a large quantity of ammunition,
and made prisoners of Is Turks. After
this success the Greeks advanced to XII
puri. on the road to Grevena, threatening
TO cut communications of the central
Turkish force at ~Elassona, with jan
ina, the Turkish headquarters in AL
bania. In all the skirmishes and fight
ing since crossing the frontier, the
Greeks lost only five men killed and
had l5 men wounded.
Fresh troops continue to arrive here
from the South. a third brigade has
been formed to assist in the defense of
the frontier.
The enthusiasm of the troops is un-
abated.
Dispatches from the Greek expedi-
tionary force say that the irregulars
have passed Kipuri, driving the Turks
before them, and are pushing on for
Grevena, where a strong Turkish force,
some reports say an army corps, is
