PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN rHe HUMAN BODY.
The Result of imperfect Digestion of FOOD.

Every living thing plant or animal, con
taius within itself the germs Of certain decay
and DEATH
In the human body these germs of disease
and death tcalled by scientists Ptomaines) y,
are usually the results Of imperfect digestion
Of food the result Of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse. weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the food
The result is a heavy sodden mass which
ferments (the first process of decay poison
ing the blood making it thin, weak and
lacking in red corpuscles poisoning the
brain causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart. causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys causing
Brights disease and diabetes
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal, and weak diges-
tion shows itself not only in loss of appetite
aud nesh but in weak nerves and muddy
complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxlep, said
the best start in life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity of
digestive acids lactic and hydrochloric) and
peptooenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of Indigestion, is to take
after each meal, one or two of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets because they supply in a
pleasant, harmless form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack
The regular use of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 80 cents full sized package or by
mail by enclosing price to Stuart Co.,
Marshall, Mich, but ask your druggist first

CAPTAIN o'BRIBU IN COMMAND.

The steamer Secures Her Load from n
Tug and a Schooner which Eluded
the Revenue Cutter Colfax-Generai
Nunez on Board.
wilmington, N. G., May 8i.-The
Messenger today prints a detailed ac-
count Of the loading Of the tug Alex
ander Jones and her departure with
the schooner John d. Long on a Cuban
nlibustering expedition. The facts were
obtained from a member of the crew
of the Alexander Jones' which return
ed to port several days ago. His story
substantially is as follows:
On Thursday night, May IS, the
Jones took on cargo of rifles. ma
chetes, rapid fire guns and ammunition
at the wharf Of the Wilmington, New
bern and Norfolk railway. in the south
ern limits Of the city. Before she had
entirely finished her cargo a report was
started that officers were approaching
and that the revenue cutter Morrill, was
getting up steam. Taking alarm at
this, the Jones pulled out and started
down the river at 10:45 p. m, and in a
few hours crossed the bar and anchor
ed outside. The schooner John D..
Long, having meanwhile been loaded
with coal and other material at the
Wilmington and Weldson railroad
wharf, was shortly afterwards towed
out to sea by the tug Jacob Brandon,
going past the revenue cutter ColfaX.
on the schooner were General Nunez
and another officer Of the Cuban army
a Cuban pilot and Captain John O'Brien
of the flibustering tug Dauntless. At
the sea buoy they went on board the
Jones' anchored near by, and Captain
O'Brien took charge of the expedition,
A hawser was made fast from the
Jones to the schooner, and early Fri
day morning the tug steamed to the
south with her tow.
On Thursday morning, May co. the
hlibuster Dauntless hove in sight and
came alongside the Jones and the
schooner. She coaled from the schooner,
took a cargo of arms from the Jones,
and, with Captain OBrien in COM
mand, headed for the Cuban coast,
about 60 miles away. The Cargo car
ried out of here was valued at s7S,O
and is said to have been the second
largest ever landed in Cuba.

ATTRACTING commissioners Colboun

Havana, May S1.-In a leading ar
ticle El Diario De La Marina makes a
scathing indirect attack upon Commits
sioner Calhoun by criticizing articles
which have appeared in a Washington
newspaper over the signature of Mr..
Pepper, who, in the gulse of an inti-
mate friend Of President Mckinley and
Mr.. Calhoun, accompanied the latter
to Cuba. The paper maintains that
many incidents of the interior working
of the mixed commission, which are
wholly private, have been divulged in
Mr.. Peppers letter, thus tending to
compromise Mr.. Calhoun. The paper
also resents Mr.. Peppers unfriendly
attitude toward Spain in his reports
on the Cuban question.

FOR THE LEGION OF HONOR.
Papers Have Been Filed Requesting
q RECEIVER.

New York, Aug. 10 The Herald says:
1t is announced in Jersey Cry that papers
have been filed In the UnfJed States court
in Boston on behalf OF James Mcnamara
of Jersey City for a receiver for the Lee
giOn Of Honor. The application asks that
the receiver shall take charge of all
monies paid in as assessments by men,
bers OF the order and the Legion of Honor
be enjOinsd from separating moneys re
eeived by il from former assessments
as is now done. The bill sets forth that
when MSNamara became a member of
the Legion of Honor each life insurance
certificate was a charge upon ali moneys
received from assessments and Uhe num-
Der of deaths regulated the assessments
ordered, so that on Dec. !, 1896, a change
was made and persons holding certificates
We're divided into two classes and that the
money received from each class was held
separately and WAS charged only with the
which the moneys belonged, thereby
changing the object of the original CON
tracts without the assent Of the members
who made the contracts and also fucreas-
ing the number of assessments
The filing of this petition for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the American
Legion of Honor IS the continuation Of
the fight which has been made by some
of the members against the order. More
than a year ago IL councils or branches
of the organization in this city and
Brooklyn seeded because of the increas-
ing number of assessments. There were
in these branches about 10000 Germans
They contended that the assessments
were made SO frequently that they were
unable to bear the burden.
