PILIBUSTER LOST AT SEA.
STEAMER COMMODORE GOES DOWN
IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.
Only Twelve of the Twenty-eiGht Men

Crane Missing.

Jacksonville. Fla. Jan. 2.-Thc steamer
Commodore. which cleared from this port
for Cicnfue2os. Cuba. on Thursday. with
a cargo of arms and ammunition. foun-
dtrcd off New Smyrna at an early hour
this morning. Twcnty-eieat men were on
board of the steamer and, 80 far as known
only twelve were saved. one boat was
washed ashore empty and one landed
with the twelve men. hut they have not
been heard from.
The steamer is reported to have sunk
about twenty miles out to sea.
The Commodore struck twice while cross
ing the bar ut the mouth of the river. and
had been leaking almost from the start.
Major Ricardo !. Dclgado. one Of the
crew, arrived here this evening on the
train from New Smyrna. accompanied by
eleven other survivors. all of the latter be
ing Cubans. Major Delgado was met at
the train by J. n Huau, Florida represen-
tative of the Cuban iunta. to whom he told
the story OF the wreck. DelSado reported
that ne was awakened about l. midnight,
Friday night. by the report that the steam
cr was leaking. The pumps would not
work and the men set to work to bail the
steamer out. This proved Intellectual. and
soon the engineer reported that it was i'm
possible 10 go amy further, the water
had put out the fires under the boilers.
The Commodore was then twenty miles
out to sea, and was running toward Mos
quito inlet light. The boats We're l"we, ed
and Delgado and eleven others got into one
boat and pulled away. The sea was rough.
1t was go a. m. and everything dark.
DeleGado was of the impression that the
other boats We're lowered at the same time,
but he WAS not certain. He knew nothing
about the sinking of the steamer, or wheth-
er any others than those in his boat were
saved.
Stephen Crane the novelist, probably
the best known American on board. was
with Captain Murphy i'm one of the boats.
They have not been heard from.

An Interesting Case.

a case of unusual interest was that of
little Bessie Johnson, aged % months. who
was confirmed opium eater. 1t was alb
solutely necessary that she should have
six grains of gum opium per day. IL she
did not have it the doctor said she would
go into commissions. He> mother the wife
of prominent politician in Maryland. had
long been victim of the subtle drug. and
ut the time her daughter was brought to
the institute could not do with less than
fifteen grains every twenty-fOur hours. The
child had absorbed the poison into its sys-
TEN from the mother. IT was some time
after the birth of the child before the truth
was realized Commissions had almost
brought her to deaths door when a light
dawned in the brain of the family doctor.
He knew the mothers habit and at once
diagnosed that the child needed her supply
of opium. The opium was fed to her and
the commissions ceased. but the
mother awakened to the awful situa-
tion-the certainty that her child would
become a victim to the drug unless an alb
solute cure could at once be found. She
spared no efforts in her search for the
means of saving her child. Her own case
she looked upon hopeless. Fortunate

1t is not very long ago since the reading
public were startled by the assertion of "a
medical authority that the cradle and the
nursery are the places where the first seeds
of alcoholism are sown." But little inves-
tisation however. was needed to prove the
truth of that assertion. While the child
may not inherit the disease which pro-
duces the craving for the stimulant. it may
absorb the terrible poison from the moth

is prescribed 10 soothe the little sufferer in

Yesterday afternoon about half-past
TWO o'clock. Miss Nancy MaGee, an
aged and respected Benwood lady, was
seriously and probably fatally injured
by being run over by a street car at the
intersection of McMechen and Sixth
streets, Benwood. J. E. Slayter was
conductor of the car and LATE Shep-
pard, motorman. The car was coming
down McMechen street at a lively rate
and the motorman noticed Miss MaGee
apparently standing at the upper cross
ing of the street. He Supposed that she
wanted to get on the car and mOtioned
for her to go to the lower crossing, at
the same time shutting the power OH
and making an effort to stop the car.
Instead Miss Mace stepped across the
track and was carried by the car half
way between the two crossings. The
fender of the car was dropped, but Miss
MaGee went under the fender owing to
the ground between the rails being very
low. The motorman did all he could
to stop the car Immediately and Miss
MaGee was picked up unconscious and
carried TO the home of her nephew,
Richard Nolan. on Sixth street, nearby.
DR.. Leonard Eskey was soon at the
house and examined into the condition
of the lady. DR.. Haskins was also
called later The physicians found that
Miss MaGee's injuries consisted OF a
broken collar bone, a bad confusion OF
the spinal column and several bad cuts
on the head and bad bruises about the
body. The physicians are not very
hopeful of her recovery, as Miss Ma
Gees age is much against her, she being
so years old. She recovered conscious
ness after the accident, and stated that
she had not seen the car and had not
heard it coming. The latter circum-
stance is due to the fact that she IS
very deaf The news Of the accident
TO Miss Nancy became known in a few
minutes all over Renwood and there
many expressions o. sympathy and sin
cere regret as she was well and popu-
larly known. Besides her many friends
Miss MaGee has many relatives in Ben
wood among whom she has made her
home for many years. Shortly after the
accident Manager Wright and VIM.
Erskine. attorney for the street car line,
went TO Benwood to learn about the
details Of the affair, and authorized
that proper medical assistance be pro-
cured for Miss MaGee at the street car
cOmpany's expense.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
a Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Ehectuai
Cure for IL.


Catarrh Of the stomach has long Deen
considered the next thing to lncufaDie.
The usual symptoms are 1ull or Dloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or Watery rlslnSs'
a formation OF gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing: headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often a sour taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and If the interior
of the stomach could be seen il would
show a Shiny. infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food 70 be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cous surfaces of the stomach. TO Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion Is
the one necessary thing TO do and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrh-
al condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use AFTER
each meal tablet, composed OF pa
tase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little NuX, Col
den 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 medl-
cine can be used with perfect safety ana
assurance that healthy appetite ana
thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
street. Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from
neglected cold in the head. whereby the
lining membrane Of the nose becomes
iniamed and The poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Med
