Interesting Experience OF an Indian
apOIis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood 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 reme-
dies 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 perhaDs
any of the usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not
in the stomach SO much as in nearly every
other organ: in some cases the heart palpi-
tates and is irregular, in others the kidneys
are affected; in others the bowels are con
Stipated with headaches, still others are
troubled with loss OF flesh and appetite,
witf accumulation of gas, sour risngs and
heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
St, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts me

nobody dreamed that he would ever again
return to the Senate, much less rise to
the supreme leadership and almost abso-
lutte mastery of his party and State.
Born in Owego, Toga County, July Is,
1883, Thomas Collier Plat was educated
at Yale, and at the age of 20 entered mer-
camille life in Owego. As a young man
he become president of the Tioga Nation
al Bank, made money in Michigan lumber
and became an officer of the United States
Express Company. OF the latter he has
been president since 1880. In 1872 he
was elected to Congress-, reelected two
years later, and in 1881 was chosen the
successor of Hon. Francis Herman in the
United States Senate. The historic dis
agreement of Senator Conkling and Pres
ident Garfield regarding New York Fed
eral patronage led to the dramatic resig-
nation of Mr.. Conkling and Mr. Plat in
May, 1881, after Plat had served but a
few months. They sought vindication
in reelection and were denied it. Conk-
ling left the political arena forever, but
Plat remained. Though the party was
wrecked in that State he was not dis
couraged and when better times appeared
he reaped the harvest.

LOST, STRAYEO OR STOLEN.
1 Valuable Island Which Has
Dropped Out Of Sight.

It wouldn't seem that anything so big
as an island could be easily mislaid, so
that diHgent searching failed to find it
again. But such seems to, be the case
with a certain valuable island in the
Southern ocean. 1t may have sunk out
Of sight or it may have been blown up,
but at any rate it seems to be hopeless
ly lost. The little schooner Moonlight
has just arrived in San Francisco after
diligently searching the seas for this
island, in the longitude and latitude
where it is supposed to be. but the
search was in vain.
Treasure island, as this island Is
known on the chart of an old sea cap
tain named Martin, is believed to be
rich in phoSphates and deposits OF
guano. For number Of years the lost
island has been searched for by am
bilious seamen. The stories concern
ing it are various and romantic, and,
to a great extent, conflicting, though
the narratives all seem to center on the
fact that the place exists somewhere
about 400 or 500 miles southwest Of
Clipperton island. and is a low coral
atoll, which is covered with the richest
phosphates. The little unknown also
has it's legends of pirates treasures,
and, according to an old volume con-
tanning mention Of Lord Clipperton's
voyages, was once the rendezvous Of
pirates.
One Of the expeditions of recent date
which have been fitted out to look for
the island was the Vine expedition.
The Vines owner, Capt. Burns, ac-
cording to the first officer of that craft,
secured his knowledge of the place
| from an old sea captain named Martin.
who died some years ago, and who left
an old chest among his belongings
which told Of small island in the South
Pacific, not down on the regular charts,
enormously rich in phosphates. Mar
| tin claimed that his vessel was driven
out Of her regular course by head winds.
and came across the island, which he
described. He took a note Of the lati-
| tude and longitude, hoping some day to
| raise enough money to fit out vessel
| to proceed to that spot and take pos
session. But death put an end to his
aspirations.

SATURDAY..

In the senate on the Esd the principal
business was the final passage of the
Palmer railroad bill. Senator Kel-
lars resolution declaring against
the single gold standard and
against the retirement of Greenbacks
caused considerable debate. Senator Gun
derson, Republican, offered a substitute
that the present standard be maintained
until such time as the coinage of silver can
be brought about by international agree
ment. The resolution was lost by vote
OF q to Is. Senator Prather, Republican,
moved as further substitute, that ire
deemable paper currency be made the sole
standard. Lost by an almost unani-
nous vote. The original resolution
then carried by strict party
vote. The house passed the swine
quarantine bill and the bill by which the
state board of equalization can only change
the equalization of county boards as far as
it relates to state taxes. Representative
Holmes introduced a bill providing that
railroads shall erect strong fences along
their tracks and shall not be liable for
damages in case Of loss of property
through trespass.

The sensation of the day, the ed, was the
appearance of a company of militia, which
boarded the train at Huron as escort for
the state cash in transit from Chicago.
Under this guard and with the attendance
OF six armed messengers, who had accom-
panied the money from Chicago, a process
sion formed at the express Office and
marched to the capitol building, where the
funds were counted by the legislative COM
mittee appointed for this purpose. The
militia escort was requested by the state
treasurer as precaution against robbery.
When the cash is shipped out Company X
will escort the funds to the state line.
The funds on deposit in the three Pierre
banks, amounting to 1000, were also
taken to the state house under militia es-
cort. The count was completed and the
committee reported they found in the
treasurer's Office the full amount of the
state funds and the governor will approve

The Palmer railroad bill finally worked
through its second reading in the senate.

SIX members were absent.
Speaker Colvin has been i'll since Friday
and the chair has been filed by Represent
alive DAILY. Routine business was being
transacted quietly, when Mr.. Kidd of
Brown County introduced the following
resolution:
Whereas, Certain statutes of the United
States known as the civil service law, pro-
hibit federal officials from interfering or
participating in elections, and
Whereas, A United States senator, rep
resentatives, registers and receivers of land
offices OF the United States, attorneys and
other federal officials and employees of the
government are conspiciously seeking to
influence the members of this legislature,
therefore be it
Resolved. that it is the sense of the house
that these officials be directed to return to
their several posts of duty and leave the
election OF the United States senator to the
members of the legislature, whom the peo-
pie elected for this purpose.
Representative Kidd stated that his reso-
luton was copied from the senate journal
Of 1891, introduced by NJ. w. Sheafe, and
supported by Senator Kyle, who was then
member Of the legislature. Representa-
tive Swartz moved that this resolution be
made special order for March Z, the last
day of the session, but was defeated. Rep
resentative Hair moved to include circuit
judges, of whom there are four
at the capital, and Mr.. Swartz offered fur
ther amendments to include a senator now
in Washington. He wanted also to include
in the resolution the wives of members who
are seeking to influence the members. An
attempt to table the resolution was lost
and Mr.. Holmes of Pennington, offered an
amendment to include everybody but men,
bers, but this was voted down unani-
mously. A war of words followed and Mr..
Swartz protested against rulings of the
speaker. Finally the resolution Of censure
was defeated by a vote Of AZ to Is.
Bills were introduced in the senate
excepting narrow guage railroads from the
Scent passenger rate; prohibiting the &C
ceptance of railroad passes by members of
the legislature and judges Of the supreme
court; to abolish capital punishment:
creating the office of commissioners of
Cancellation, county office, to be filled at
general elections; three commissioners to
act as arbitrator in justice courts.
