A Celebration Today Marking New
York Homes Anniversary.

New York June 1.-THE New York
Christian home for incorporate men.
Madison avenue and Eighty-sixth
street Will this evening celebrate the
Goth anniversary of its organization.
The officials of the home believe that
drunkenness is a sin, not a disease.
During the past 20 years 5000 men of
all ages have been treated, of whom g.,
900 We're permanently cured of drum
kenness
The home is the only one in the world
conducted on the principle that drum
kenness is not a disease. Charles A.
Bunting, who has been its head since it
was esta blished, said today:
The treatment that we believe in, >"
he remarked "and have practiced all
these years, is that based on the doc
trine that Almighty God is the only
power that can save a drunkard and
keep him saved. We contend that the
victim of long drinking habits is so
undermined in will and self-control
that no mere human agency can fur
nish him with more than temporary
relief. We take none into the home
who will not pledge himself, or whose
friends will not give the pledge for
him, to remain five weeks under its
Christian influence"
The home is nOn-sectarian. and is
supported chiefly by voluntary contri-
buttons.

DANGER I'M SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
It's Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended for a medicine, and
people who use it as such will some day
regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a hab-
it which thousands of people practice al
most daily, and one which is fraught with
danger; moreover the soda only gives
temporary relief and in the end the stom-
ach trouble is worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it accum,
ulated in the intestines, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
let's are large 20 grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids. peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has
time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for stomach
but by promptly digesting the food they
create a healthy appetite, increase flesh
and strengthen the action of the heart
and liver. They are not a cathartic, but
intended only for stomach diseses and
weaknesses and will be found reliable in
any stomach trouble except cancer of
the stomach

Tablets at Scots. per package

Washington, D. c., June 11.-SenatOrs
Harris of Kansas, Pettgrew of South
Dakota and Morgan of Alabama pro-
pose to force, if possible, some action
by the administration on the Union Pa
cifc question. They have prepared
resolution which will be presented in
the senate declaring that the president
has the right to use the sinking fund
of the Union Pacific, Central Pacific
and Central Branch to take care of the
bonds of the roads upon which inter
est has been defaulted. They maintain
that under the law of 1887, the presi-
dent has full authority to use the sink
ing fund to protect the interest of the
government. and this. they insist, ought
to be done at once.
There is now in the sinking fund"
said Senator Harris, nearly twenty
millions of dollars. Until congress has
time to decide what shall be done with
the Union Pacific and the others, the
government should take the bonds
which have been allowed to go by de-
fault. For the next year or two at
least not more than four millions would
have to be taken up, and as the law of
1887 gives the government ample au-
thOrity, I am decidedly in favor of such
action We shall call attention to the
matter and do all that is possible to
he done to press it -

POLITICS IN G. A. r..
A Post Organized at Newton Compos-
ed Wholly of Populists

A new Grand Army post has been or
ganized at Newton, the membership
being composed entirely of Populists.
The post contains nearly 100 members
and their only reason for so organizing
and breaking away from existing
branches of the order was because of
the political attitude of the members
against them.
A charter has been issued from the
state department of the order and the
post has been organized and thorough
Iy inaugurated upon its work.
Some Republicans says a Newton
dispatch, who deprecated the disa-
greement which arose over questions of
politics, have assisted in the organiza-
ton of the new post, into which MEM
bers of the old parties are likely to go
because of the political conditions re-
ferFed to-
