WCOLwORTH ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON
His Presence There Gives Rise to
RumOrs of IA Bitter Contest
Over the Vacancy on
the Bench.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-(Special Tele-
gram)-Hon. j. NJ. Woolworth and Miss
Woolworth of Omaha arrived in Washington
today. The coming of Judge Woolworth at
this time is decidedly significant and means
a strong fight to be made for the confirma-
tion of w. d. McHugh as judge of the dis
e trlct court of Nebraska. Failing in that and
tho withdrawal of McIIugh's name from the
Judiciary committee by the president, accord
Ing to a well authenticated rumor abroad,
Judge Woolworth will urge the nomination
of Alonzo Crounse, ex-governor of Nebraska,
for that position. The name of G. NJ. Lam
bertson of Lincoln is also heard in connec-
tion with the nomination should the presl-
dent decide to withdraw McHugh's name
In any event, a fight of no small proportions
is to be waged
Among the congressional delegation the
mention OF ex-senator Manderson for the po-
sition is not looked upon at all seriously
Judge Woolworth's activity for McHugh as
one OF the leading lawyers of the United
States and president of the National Bar
association, very materially contributed TO
his nomination by the president, and un-
doubtedly any name that he might suggest
as compromise would be seriously consld-
ered by Mr.. Cleveland.

ITO PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-At the instance
of the State department, the secretary of the
navy has ordered the gunboat Machias to
Bangkok, the capital of Siam, and she has
sailed from Canton China, for that place.
The mission of the ship, according to the
records of the Navy department, is to pro
tect American interests" but the more def
mite reason is to AFFORD Mr.. Barrett, the
United States minister and consul general
at Bangkok, moral support in certain repre-
sentations he has made to the Siamese gov
ernment in respect to the treatment of Ed
ward V. Kelet, the vice consul general there.
Mr.. Kelet has become involved in trouble
of some sort with the Samese officials, and,
although the State department affords no
information on the subject, it is gathered
that he has been i'll treated and subjected to
assault by Siamese soldiers.
1t is believed the affair grows out of the
old Cheek claim, which has been the subject
of correspondence between the United States
and the Siamese government for several
years Cheek was an American, who left a
large estate, including plantations and ele-
plants, in Siam, but the Siamese officials
objected to the heirs taking possession, and
the property has been in litigation. The
Siamese officials learned some time ago that
some OF the elephants on the property were
being sold off, and as Mr.. Kelet was con-
nected with the movement, he suffered from
their resentment.
While vice consul general at Bangkok, Mr..
Kelet is not a salaried official. and is be-
lieyed to be engaged in private business
which, perhaps. has involved him in his pres
ent trouble. 1t is not believed that any con-
fct will arise over this affair. but 1t is
deemed best to have war ship at Bangkok,
according to the suggestion of Minister Bar
rett to afford him moral support and remind
the Samese that there Is such a country as
the United States. inasmuch as they seldom
see our flag on a man-of-war. The distance
from Canton to Bangkok Is about 800 miles,
and, as the Machias must stop at Hong Kong
a day or two for coal, she will probably take
a week for the trip.

tation OF the remains to the United States

HEART DlSEAES.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not lie Alarmed, but Look for the


Heart troubles, at least among Americans,
are certainly increasing, and while this may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
or Ameiean business life, 1t is more often
the result OF weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real organic heart disease is inrurable.
but not one case In q hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion Is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart II affected
by that form OF poor digestion, which causes
gas and' fermentation from half digested
food; there is feeling OF oppression and
heaviness In the chest caused by pressure of
the dlstended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action hence
arises palpltation and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood, makes
1t thin and watery, which irrltatas and
weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and to
Insure the prompt assimilation OF food
This can best be done by the regular use
after meals, OF some safe pleasant and Of
fectiye digestive preparation, like Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain valuable
harmless digestive elements In a pleasant,
convenient form.
II Is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use OF stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time Will cure any form of stomach
trouble, except cancer OF the stomach.

most drugglsts at 80 cents, or by mail from

The lecture delivered by Nine Yale was
highly interesting, and contained many use
full points of information on hygienic mat
tiers. 1t was delivered without notes and
was more in the nature of conversation on
a matter of common interest.
Beauty" she said in substance, "is what
all women desire, what comparatively few
possess, and what any can attain by going
properly about it. When women begin to
lose their personal lovelness their ambition
and their self-respect begin in a measure
to go with it. Some characters are so beau
tiful that they shine out through a re-
pellant exterior, as the sun breaks through
obscuring clouds; but consider how much
more attractive such character would be
in connection with lovely outside than
in spite of physical disadvantages. Science
has made great advances in all directions
during the present century, but in none
more remarkably than in the application
of the laws of nature to the prolonging of
human life and the acquiring and retaining
Of all the essentials of physical beauty.
No woman. even at co. need be wrinkled,
withered, bent and gray. With proper care
and the employment of a hygienic diet

and sleep, a system of simple exercises de-
signed to develop and strengthen the body

arations as are calculated to feed the waste
tissues. she may keep the bloom and the
vigor of youth until long past the age when,
as a grandmother, she might otherwise re-
tire altogether from participation in the ac-
tivities of life"
TEA, COFFEE AND CoRSETS.
Nine Yale advises total abstinence from
tea and coffee. and is an unreenting foe to
the corset. These beverages" said she.
"are altogether harmful. They are stimu-
lants, not nourishing foods They play
havoc with the nerves and with the liver,
without the healthy working OF which no
woman can be beautiful. And as for the
corset, 1t is my belief that 1t is responsible
for a greater part of the ills of womaniind
than any other cause--I had almost said than
all other causes put together"
Then followed practical illustrations of the
exercises prescribed. shown by Nine. Yale
first in the Diana costume referred to, and
afterward in a modern ball dress. None of
the exercises are complicated in their nature
aud mono call for special apparatus. They
are all such as have been long used by teach
ers of physical culture, and are well adapted
to the purposes for which they are intended.
Nine. Yale also gave careful directions for
bathing and for the use of her own various

be placed on sale in Omaha.

road Through China.
WASHINGTON. Jan, 16.-United States
Consul General Karel at st. Petersburg has
furnished the State department with full par
tcuars of the conditions under which the
plans for the Siberian railway were changed
so es to run the eastern portion of the
line through Chinese territory. He says it
was not the original plan and the execution
of which was abandoned owing to great
technical difficulties encountered. Thus, on
one section OF LOS miles the cost per mile
would be $46,26 1t was this fact which
first led to the consideration of a Chinese
section and investigation showed that by
running the line through Manchuria. not
only would the construction be cheapened
but the line be shortened and other ad-
Vantages would be secured. The Chinese
government gave concession TO the Russo
Chinese bank. which formed a new com
pany, the Eastern Chinese Railway company
capital. $2,570,000-to construct that part
OF the road in Chinese territory. This
project WAS sanctioned by the czar's govern
ment in December. The road is to run from
a point on the western frontier of the
province OF Hei-Lung-Chlng 20 a point on
the eastern frontier of Kirin and to be
connected with the branches of the Trans
siberian railway. The company may also
work coal mines and mining, industrial
and other enterprises in China. Only Rus
slams and Chinese may hold the shares of
the COMPANY, the payment on which the
Russian governments guarantees At the
END or eighty years the road passes into the
hahds OF the Chinese government.

UNCLE SAM HAS A TRUST.


The Sale of Postage Stamps Yields
the Government Large Profits.
1t costs the government now just five
cents for 1000 stamps delivered any
where in the United States. One thou
sand two-cent stamps are sold for $50.
1t win thus be seen that Uncle Sam has
a trust worth having, and that his
profits are not to be despised, even by
a bloated bondholder. In fact, Uncle
Sam is envied so much by other capital
lists that frequently other parties start
into the business of printing stamps,
without first securing a license or even
trying to get one. Sometimes the Sc
cret service Office catches the guilty
parties, but in case due discretion is eX-
ercised, the counterfeiting of stamps
is not very difficult. as little close atten.
ton is bestowed upon them in the mails
But the expense is so great and the re.
turns so small that the counterfeiters
do not linger long at a stamp job.

printing and engraving prints about
