Catarrh and Diseases
 of the Stomach. GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
Dr. Hofmeister in a recent

Dr. Hofmeister in a recent lecture says:
 "The unnatural motions of the stomach causing pressure and belchings, the irritations of the intestines resulting in catarrh of the bowels, and the inhamed mucous membranes are the most fruitful of all known causes of disease. Out of them grow most kidney and liver troubles, dia- betes, all rheumatic affections and gout. 1 have found that the unnatural motions of the stomach cease, the intestinal troubles be- come soothed, and health results from the use of Carlsbad Sprudel Water. The diuretic effects of this water, its quiet action upon the infamed intestines are beyond all praise"

w. J. DEBOE ELECTED.

End of the Kentucky Senatorship Dead
 lock-Seventy-One Votes Cast for the
 Republican Caucus Nominee-Gold
 Democrats Happy Also.
 Frankfort, Ky, April 2s-William J. Deboe, the nominee of the republican caucus, was to-day elected to the Unit ed States senate to succeed ex-Senator Blackburn.
 The vote stood: Deboe, rep, 71; Mar tin, pop, 12; Stone, 1; Blackburn, dem., 50.
 After the official declaration of the election of MT. Deboe there was a loud and prolonged demonstration. The gold democrats joined in the publication. There never was such a scene in the Kentucky state house. Senator Deboe will go to Washington at once with his credentials.
 W. J. Deboe is forty-seven years of age, a native of Crittenden county, Kentucky, and lifelong republican. He was delegate to the republican na- tional convention in 1888, and since 1890 has been member of the state central committee. Last year he was selected as one of the four Bradley delegates-at- large to the St. Louis convention, where he was selected as chairman of the del- egation in spite of the anti-Bradley faction. He is graduate of Ewing college in Illinois. He studied medicine in Louisville and practiced for some years. But he later studied law, and for eight years has practiced that pro- fession. His election is looked upon as a fortunate solution of the factional fight so long continued in Kentucky.
