BOUNTY FOR COND0RS.
An American Who Has Made From Seven to
 Eight Hundred Dollars.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 Chili offers a bounty for condor heads, and an American in that country has made from s7OO to $500 a month killing that bird of prey One month he got warrant for $1 ,Os0. Condors steal sheep and calves. He writes:
 How did we capture these ferocious birds? Our first job every morning before we had even a peep of sunlight over the mountains was to carry the carcass of dead animal-a horse or cow-out on the plain where it could easily be seen from all points of the compass. We sometimes made a carcass do service for a fortnight. but 1t required a strong stomach and fn- difference to stench. We moved about every few days from one locality to an- other, and never put the rotting body twice in the same place. because of the ex- treme suspiciousness of an average condor. Generally we would move three or four miles every twenty-tour hours.
 After we had placed our bait carcass we set up our tents and the canvas flies that concealed us and our horses from the view of the condors. Breakfast was no sooner over than we could see from the peep-holes in the canvas that hid us sev- eral condors coming down through the clouds from the mountain crest straight toward our bait. When the birds had eaten heartily we sprang to our horses, which stood near, bridled and saddled ready for the chase. When condor has gorged itself with food it cannot rise without running to give itself momentum. An expert lassoer could send his rope over a condors head and so manage it that was slipped down until it touched the shoulders or the wings before 1t would be frightened on the bird. Then the rider would turn the horse about and lead the chase himself, forcing the unwilling bird along until it tumbled spent, to the ground, and was dragged to death at the horses heels."

GRATIFYING RESULTS.
INTERESTING ENTERTAINMENTS WITH THE
 Nhw STOMACH REMEDY.
Not Patent Medicine, But Safe Cure For
 All Forms of Indigestion

The results of recent investigation have established, beyond question, the great value of the new preparation for indigestion and stomach troubles; it Is composed of the digestive acids, pepsin bismuth, Golden Seal and einiilar stomachcs, prepared in the form of 20 grain lozenges, pleasant to the taste, convenient to carry when travel and probably the safest most effectual cure yet discovered for indigestion, sour stom- ach, loss of appetite and flesh, nausea, sick many symptoms arising from imperfect di- gestion of food. They cure because they cause the food to be promptly and thor oughly digested before it has time to sour, ferment and poison the blood and nervous system.
 Over six thousand people in the state of Michigan alone In 1894 were cured of Etom- ach troubles by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Full sized packages may be found at all druggists at soc, or sent by mail on receipt of price from Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich. Sand for free book on stomach diseases.
