CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
EffectuaI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incUrable.
The usual symptoms are full or bIoatlng
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery rslngs, Ior-
nation Of gases, causing pressure on the
heart and lungs and difflcult breathing;
headaches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and If the Interior or the
stomach could be seen it would show
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common ana obstinate
trouble is found in d treatment which
causes the food TO be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces or
the stomach To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and " ben normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and best trea tment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed Of Diastase, Asep-
tic Pepsin, a little sNux, 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 be-
ing a patent medicine can be used win
perfect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thoroug h digestion Will follow
their regular use AFTER meHS-
Mr.. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn ST.,
Chicago, ILL.,, writes: 'Catarrh is local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head whereby the lining mem
brane OF the nose becomes inflamed and
the poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh or the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
for me for three years for catarrh OF

THIEF IN A LADIES' CLUB.
indianapolis Society Matrens in a
Peck of Trouble.


ndianapois, A priI 2-The Kettle Drum
Social aud Literary Club, which has for
members forty of the best known young
married women in this city, meets twice a
week at the house of some one of them.
For the past six months there has been
general complaint after each meeting OF
the loss of money and yaluables. Last week
the club met at the home OF a member in
Capital avenue north Tbirty-seyen women
were present. At a secret conference held
on the day previous it had been agreed
by six women that each should mark a
two-dolIar bill with small piece OF court
plaster and leave the money in her wrap
After the program had been disposed OF
tnecommittee hurried 70 the room in which
the wraps had been deposited and looked for

one was required TO take down her halr
and to submit to a thorough search. The
last act was TO search the searchers, but the
entire scene ended without the thief being
unmasked. 1t was long after dark that
night before some of the club members re-

DIGGERS HARD TO CIYILIZE
Indian Bureau Has Failed to Make
Much Progress.
They Prefer to Haunt Their Mount
aims and Starve There to Coming
in Upon the Reservations.

THE Indian Bureau is disheartened at
its failure to civilize the Digger Indians
of California Under the Cleveland adj
ministration tract OF land adapted to
gardening and agriculture was provided
for these Indians, and the work of settling
the Indians on their new land was pushed
hopefully The Indians did not take kindly
to the idea, nd were not a success as agri-
culturists. The result is that today they
are in a deplorable condition. The de-
partmentIeaTned today through advices re-
ceived from one of its agents that these
Indians are destitute and threatened with
famine.
When the Diggers were transferred to
their new homes they were not prosper
Gus, and prosperity never suited them.
They were put into comfortable lumber
built houses, clothed and taken care Of by
the department. AS soon as they got a
few dollars in their clothes they sighed
for their old hauuts Most of them left,
and the few that remained refused to
work The agent has reported that APP

the fayors OF the Government
When the Government built pretty little
homes, with garden around each and
with plenty of water for purposes of irri-
cation, it was hoped that these poor, shift
less, vagabopd Indians would come ill.,
But they responded slowly. When the
acorn season was over and the storms of
winter had set in, some struggled in for
a few days, but declined to remain
The agent declared that these In:lians
would rather leave the reservation with
its food and shelter, andlive in the desolate
spots where for years they have known
only want and exposure. Probably of all
Indians the full-bIooded Diggers are the
most ignorant and depraved- The half and
three-quarter bred, it is said, combine the
bad qualities OF the full-blooded squaw
and of their worthless sires. They are more
intelligent, but none the better for that
reason. These Indians are scattered over
the country in small families, and these
families have very little intercourse with
each other.
The agent says: "These Indians seem
to believe in the common saying that the
only good Indian is the dead Indian for
while they abuse and neglect their parents
and wives while living, they seem to
yenerate their burial places, and are
willing to starve on their graves" The
thought has occurred TO the Indian Bureau
that it might be a good scheme to dig up
the bones of the ancestors of these In
dams and RENTER them on the rcserva-

ONE BUILDING FOR ALL WARDS.
An Important Improvement PropOs-
ed for Freedmani Hospital.

Hu Il
The Department of the Interior will,
within few days, take under serious
| consideration the advisability of erecting
| a large brick structure which shall accom-
modate all the scattered wards of Freed
mans Hospital. This proposition was en-
bodied in a report submittcd by DR.. Daniel
II. williams, surgeon-in-chief of the hos
| pital. In this report Sur geon Williams sets
forth that the necessity for such build
| ing grows more pr essing each year.
The frame structures now serving as
wards for the different classes of patients
scattered as they are throughout the en-
closure of the grounds require, by reason
of their age, more or less expensive repair
ing and renovating every year to make them
even tolerable abodes for the sick and dying
and even with the annual repairs, it is
impossible to adapt these antiquated build
ings TO the requirements OF well-ordeTed
hospital They can have neither thorough
ventilation, regulation of Temperature, nor
proper sanitation, which are, says Surgeon
Williams. indispensable factors in the
proper care OF the sick
Aside, however, from the mere lack of
convcniences in these buildings, far
more important CONSIDERATION lies In the
fact that the combustible character of the
material makes them an easy prey to
flames, thus constantly exposing the lives
of a class whose utter helplessncss would
seem to demand even more than ordinary
precaution for their safety. In a former
report Dr. Williams submitted estimates
fer the erection and equipment of such a
building as the work of Freedman's Hos
pital requires
Freedmans Hospital is pet of the Sec
rotary of the Interior, and Secretary Bliss
will do all that he can to make 1t safe
and comfortable haven for the colored sick
of the District.
The ambulance shed at Freedman's Hos
pital has been located at the entrance
to the grounds, thus reducing the distance

stock and $500 900 for crops onhand, being
over $500 900.
What effect the flood will have upon
the crops of the present season depends
upon the length OF its continuance and
the pracucability of wheat planting after
the subsistence of the flood. The entire
region under water ON April 6 produced
last year about $4,000 bales of cotton,
valued at close on $l3 ZOO 900; over III, ;
900, ZOO bushels of corn, worth about ST.
400. 200, and wheat, oats, potatoes and
hay, worth over $500 900 more.
The most valuable portion of these crops
was raised iii Mississippi, W hose region now
submerged produced nearly goo zoe bales of
cotton, besides other products, mostly for
local consumption.
The counties wholly or partially sub
merged are among the largest cotton pro-
duclng coantiesin tlseSnited States, Yazoo
county, which alone has produced over
so, 900 bales in season, is one-half under
water, while Bolivar county, Coahoma, Is
saquena, Washington with productive ca
pacity Of 1OO, 900 bales and other famous
counties are partially submerged.
The Weather Bureau predicts further
extension of the flooded areas, but no at
tempt, of course, has been made 10 esti-
mate the serious possibilities OF such ex-
tension.
The bureau publishes map OF the couD-
try flooded on April 10, and says:
THE flood water now in western Mis-
sissippi, is just beginning to return to the
Mississippi River through the YaZoo ana
Millken's Landing, a few miles to the
north The gradually increasing strain ex-
pected during the next few days on the
Louisiana side opposite the place where

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine

PROTEST TOBACCO TAX.
Leading Manufacturers Gather Before
a Committee of Senators.

Washington May 27.-Representative
of practically all the tobacco manufac-
turers in the United States with the
exception of cigar manufacturers, met
here today to protest against the pro-
posed advance of 2 cents a pound in
the tax on tobacco contemplated in the
senate amendment to the tariff bill.
There were present and represented
about $50 manufacturers. General E.
McA1pin of New York was chairman
and T. E. Allen secretary. Resolutions
were adopted which briefly cited the in
jury inflicted upon the trade by the
frequent changes in the tax rate, and
protest against the adoption of the
senate amendment.
Mr.. Allen. in speaking of the pro
posed tax, said:
1T is not the amount of tax we OBJ
ject to. but the expense that will be in
VOlVed in a. change at all.
AN increase of 2 cents a pound will
mean smaller packages. That is the
only way the manufacturers could pay
it
While the senators asked several
questions, they gave no indication as
to whether the arguments of the to-
bacco men would result in any change
in the bill.

Teaolnths and Doilies.

It is rather a pity that fashion has
frowned upon colors in cloths and doilies
used on the O'Clock tea table. This in
formal service seemed quite the proper
outlet for gay and decorative effects, but
that stern azbiter who rules US all DEGREES
they are no longer the thing. Pure white,
with, again, white embroidery, or prefer
ably hemstitch and drawn work with no
faintest touch of color, is demanded not
only for the tea table, but the dining board
as well. The color effects of the feast, be
it simple or elaborate, must come from
the flowers and shades and favOrs. There
must be no hint of them in the linen.
This is undou btedly the inevitable reac-
ton from the riot of color that has latterly
surrounded all table service, and if it saves
US from black gauze over rcd satin or bill
lows of pink Grape or other millinery
schemes, one will be content to put away
for awhile the centers and doilies copying
the world of blossoms in their natural
hues The moderate use of these will I'M
questionably return. Meanwhile the table
linens show beautiful designs of flower
ghosts in colorIess weave.-New York

THE PASTOR ABSCONDS.
Rev. Mr.. Harrison of Washington,
Suddenly Disappears-$o,ooo
Short in Accounts.

Washington, May 27.-Rev. A. G..
Harrison, pastor of the Peoples taber-
nacle, and his family disappeared from
their home here yesterday and it is re-
ported that the reverend gentleman is
$4,000 short in his accounts.
He was given entire charge of the
church funds, and according to the
charge, failed to pay bills for furniture,
carpets and a church organ, for which
the money was given him, and also
borrowed large sums from his parish
toner's.
w L. Bruen, the builder of the tab
ernacle, is a loser to the extent of ST.
600.
When Mr. Harrison learned that an
investigation was to be made by the
church. he departed hastily, leaving
his household goods. He came to this
city from Texas three years ago, en-
gagged in mission work and gained so
large a following that the tabernacle
was built chiefly through the efforts of
Mr. Bruen to give him following.
At a meeting of the church council
last night the determination was reach
ed to dismiss Harrison from the pas
torate and his name has been taken
from the front Of the edif1ce. The debts
contracted by him will be paid by the
church
