Bank Failure Waves.

The failures Of national banks have
come In waves. Between 1868 and 1879
there were only A failures, and their liza
bilities were small. But In the next six
years-lS73 to 1878 inclusive-there were
256 failures, with liabilities aggreRating
about $40, 100000. That was the panic
period of 1873
Between 1878 and 1898 there were a
good many failures, aggregating 325 In
number But as rule their liabilities
were small.
The second great era of national bank
failures began in 1893. In that year 276
banks failed. In 1894 the number was 10.
In 1895 IL was III and in 1896, up to Oct.
1, it was 81.
1t will thus be seen that the panic OF
1873 resulted in the downfall of 256 banks,
while the panic of 1898 led to the failure of
528. The two panics, therefore, led to the
failure of much more than one-half of all
the failures I'm the third of century which
has elapsed since the law went into force
and to perhaps two-thirds of all the liabil-
tiles and losses. WALTER WELLMAN.

Catarrh Of the Stomach.
4 Pleasant, simple, but Safe and
ETectunI Cure for II.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been con-
sidered the next thing to incurable the
usual symptoms are full or bloating sensa-
tion after eating, accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery risings, formation OF
gases, causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing: headaches
tickle appetite, nervousness and general
played out, languld feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen 1t would show
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which causes
the food to be readily thoroughly digested
before it has time to ferment and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. lIarlanson the safest and
best treatment is to use after each meal
a tablet. composed Of Diastase, Aseptic
Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit
acids. These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medic can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr.. NJ j. Booher of 271O Dearborn ST.,
Chicago, Ill., writes: "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from neglected cold in
the head, whereby the lining membrane Of
the nose becomes inlamed and the poison
Gus discharge therefrom passing backward
into the throat. reaches the stomach, thus
producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
Authorities prescribed for me for three years
for catarrh of stomach without cure, but to-
day l am the happiest of men after using
only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

my good feeling. l have found flesh, ap-
petite and sound rest from their use.

preparation as well as the simplest and most
convenient remedy for any form of indiges-
ton, catarrh of stomach, biliousness. sour
heartburn and bloating after meals.

Chnfes Under the LashinEs Given by

A small crowd of fusionists under the
name of thd Fifth Ward Fusion club held a
meeting at Erfling's hall last evening. JOSEPH
Redman was elected chairman and introduced
as the first speaker G. p. IIalligan.
Mr.. Halligan talked for about half an
hour, and told of many reforms which he
would inaugurate if he were given the chance
to be police judge.

lines of turn the rascals out"
Ed Howell came into the hall about this
time and was escorted to front row OF

which he has delivered to every political club
audience during the present campaign. He

The Bee and declared with more emphasis
than good grammar: "If The Bee knows
anything about my public reputation which
is off color let her come out and say So She

Garfield Republican Club to Rebuke
UnsentinS of Burmnn.

About 1875 members OF the Scandinavian
Garfield Republican club gathered together
in Patterson hall last night and showed an
enthusiastic interest in the issues of the local
campaign generously applaudng the men
ton of tho republican candidates.
Charlie Unit was the first speaker OF the
evening" and he went fully into the history
of the campaign last fall resulting in the
election of the legislature, recited the acts
of that body after its organization, and an
ayzed the efforts of the members from
Douglas county to provide themselves with
soft berths through the enactment of char
ter to which a majority OF the people were
opposed. He said the unseating OF the repub-
lican members OF the house on the ground
of bribery was dishonest act, and called
upon the members OF the club to testify that
their countryman, Frank Burman, did not
use money illegitimately in the campaign,
for they all knew he Is not that KIND OF a
man. He said the adoption or charter
which threw men out OF office who had been
lawfully elected by the people Of this city
was a fraud upon the ballot box, and that II
the fusionists could do 1t once, there was no
law to prevent them re-enacting the old
charter requiring another election next fali
when they found after the election this
month that they had been repudiated by the
people of the city. He said the issue in the
campaign was whether the voters OF the city
should endorse the actions OF Howell ana his
cohorts, and he urged the members OF lhe
club to place their seal OF condemnation upon
that record by voting against the trinity
composed Of Ed Howell, the father, Frank
Ransom, the son, and John o. Yeiser, the
holy ghost.

HUMMER AT THE HEADQUARTERS
Hall Packed to the Doors and En-
thusiasm BOisterOus.


The large room in the Helman block oc-
cupied by the republican central committee
was packed to the doors last uight, repub-
licans, democrats and populists turning out
10 listen to a discussion of the political is
sues. The first speaker of the evening was
Beecber Highly, republican candidate for city
clerk. He devoted considerable time to a
review OF the new charter. detailing the ad-
ditlonal offices that we're required under its
PROVISIONS ana showing conclusiyely that in
stead of the new charter being an economical
measure 1t meant an annual increase of from
100000 to $4,000 in taxation. exclusive OF
tho expense Of holding the elections that are
required every three years.
After referring briefly to his own candi-
dacy, Mr.. Highly gave some attention to the
cnuncilmaniC record of Il. E. Howell, the
popocratic candidate for mayor. He declared
that Howell was a man with a record, a man
who invariably would take up measure,
promise 1t his support and then vote against
1t. Concerning the Macdonald garbage con-
tract Mr.. Highly showed that when the mat
ter of originality came before the city coun-
ell Howell who at that time was a member
of the council was conveniently absent when
the vote was taken, but that afterward and
when the contract was awarded, he voted
to gr3nt the monopoly. The speaker referred
to the fact of Howell refusing to give KEN
merlng credit Tor ton of coal, at the same
tine informing him that his legislative candi-
dacy had cost him s675 to be elected to an
office that paid but 5000
Mr., Highly explained that the democrats
had no sympathy that was In common with
the pOpnlsts ana the silyerites, their main
object DeiGg to secure the election OF the
mayor and five councilmen, that they might
ride rough shod over everything thereafter.
RAISES MAYORS SALARY.
A. E. Walkup reviewed the methods
adopted by Howell In assisting TO unseat the
republicans who were elected TO the leglsla-
ture the session OF which has just closed.
He detailed The testimony given at the con-
test showing that there was no evidence
tending to show fraud committed upon the
part of the republicans or the republican
party He showed that under the provisions
of the new charter the salary of the mayor
had been increased $500 by reason OF that
official being made a member OF numerous
boards. TO accomplish this. Howell had bar
tered away everything. He had frittored away
the chances To secure a respectable appropri-
alton FOR the Transmississippi Exposition and
for no other reason than that he might Sc
cure votes TO pass his charter bill.
Touching upon Frank b. MooTes' candi-
dacy, Mr.. Walkup predicted that his cleo
tion was certain; that the republicans. the
respectable democrats and the old soldiers
were rallying around his standard. While
in office the speaker maintained that Moores
had always been honest and that his record
stood out as bright and pure as the stars.
