From the Commercial, Nation. Ill.

Mn. Christiana Foster is a matron
of Nation, who has recently been re
stored TO the ranks of health after
many years of suffering. She gave
her statement to q reporter in such
concise shape that we print it:
my name is Christiana Foster; !
am fifty years of age and q housekeeper.
I have lived in Illinois eve since I was
twelve years old. During the latter
years of my life I have been much
emfcted with stomach trouble, blood
disorders and nervousness, and these
were greatly aggravated about two
years ago, when I became subject to
most ~disagreeable hot flashes (or per
haps I should say 'fushesO.

time, not being able to obtain any ap

an advertisement of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale people, determined
to get some of them, and did SO, begin

directions. I had not taken half a box
before I experienced relief, and before

say, we'll. OF course I am growing

THAT COMMON TROUBLE ACID DYs-
PEPSIA, OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as Cause of Sc
rious Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form
of indigestion resulting from fermen-
tation of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest it, the
food remains until fermentation begins,
filing the stomach with gas, and
bitter. sour, burning taste in the mouth
is often present. This condition soon
becomes chronic, and, being an every
day occurrence, is given but little at
tention. Because dyspepsia is not i'm
mediately fatal. many people do moth
ing for the trouble.
Within recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuarts. Dyspepsia Tablets
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at so cents
per package. 1t is prepared by the
Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich, and while
it promptly and effectually restores
vigorous digestion, at the same time is
perfectly harmless and will not injure
the most delicate stomach. but On the
contrary. by giving perfect digestion

DIPLOMATIC COMPLICATION,
The State Department. Preparing to
Give 1t Attention.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-The department OF
state is about to press TO the end the issue
that has been raised between it and the
government OF Nicaragua growing out Of
the refusal OF Nicaragua to- receive United
States minister in the. person of Capt Merry.
Of California. The United States legation at
Managua. which has been closed through the
retirement Of Minister Baker. will be per-
mitted TO remain closed for the present and
Capt. Merry has been ordered to proceed to
San Juan. in Costa .Rica,3 to take up his
mission.
DR.. Hunter. of Kentucky, who had been
appointed minister to Guatemala and Hondu-
ras, was at the state department today, and,
having received his final instructions, will
sail from New York on the 10th inst He
goes to Guatemala City, the capital of
Guatemala but as his case is in many re-
spects similar to that offs Capt Merry, it
is probable he will be confined in his min
istry to that country, and will not be received
in Honduras. to which country he is also ac-
credited. In that case Honduras also will be
without United States legation
The trouble arises from the fact that when
the Greater Republic was formed 1t was
agreed upon by the party nations that their
foreign relations should be conducted
through diet and they insisted that minis
ters from other countries should be accred-
tied to this diet. Congress had divided the
missions of Central America in such fash
ion that each of the two missions includes
country within and one without the Greater
Republic.

1000 MOoNsHINERs IN COURT.
4 Georgia Judge Has Seven Weeks
of sIOOnshine Docket.

Nearly 1905 moonshiners will have been
tried during this term OF the United States
court when Judge Newman finishes with the
criminal docket of the present sitting, says
the Atlanta Constitution. This is a record
that proves beyond all possible doubt that
the moonshine business is not dead in Georgia
by a long ways. The old bands of whitecap
pers and the desperate gangs of outlaw moon
sinners who once ruled North Georgia have
been wiped out, but the festive m0onShlner
still pies his occupation in the wilds Of the
Georgia mountains. For days Judge New
man has been trying moonshiners at the rate
Of twenty-five a day. This will continue for
five weeks longer before the mConshiae
docket is finished. The aggregated sentences
of the moonshiners will make something less
than a century. The cost Of furnishing the
moonshiners is quite heavy. Some of them
are given sentences of six months in Jail.
This means six monthsqwith plenty to eat and
nothing to do. with the government paying
for everything. The smocnshiners are fire.
quently fined. but nearly always they take
the pauper's oath and avoid payment.
An average OF one-half of the moonshiners
put on trial are convicted Y The daily con-
victions average from eigit to fourteen. FG-
ton county gets the largest number Of the
government boarders. 1.-The Jail here is kept
full nearly all the time.s Every county in the
northern district that has good jail is given
a proportion OF the sentenced moonshiners.

CENTRAL ROADS AT ODDS.
Trouble Over the New interchange
able MiIenge System.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-At the meeting OF the
mileage ticket bureau Of the Central Passen-
ger committee, which was held today, large
sized fight developed over the handling the
Interchangeable mileage tickets. The Lake
Shore and the Michigan Central championed
a resolution to alter the method by which
tickets sold at present. The plan now in
effect is for the traveller to present his ticket
to the ticket agent, announcing how far he
desires to travel. The ticket agent tears
from the mileage book the requisite number
of miles and issues to the traveller ticket
which is good on the train. The Michigan
Central and the Lake Shore desired that the
interchangeable ticket be made good for
transportation when presented on trains, and
a number of the other lines objected TO this.
There was the warmest kind Of a fight and
it lasted for the greater part Of the day, but
the resolution was lost when the matter came
to a final vote twenty Of the roads voting
against it and eight for It. The chief OBJ
lection urged against the change in the ticket
was that it would necessitate the alteration
Of the machinery CT the mileage bureau and
in other ways prove a heavy expense to all
the roads concerned.
