was agreed that F. T. Frank should be
appointed collector of internal revenue

an unusually large number of people
at the White house, all anxious to see
the president. The South was especial

cations from Texas, Mississippi, Flor

much concerned over the representa-

wing condition in Alaska and it is prob
able the matter will be fully discussed
at the next cabinet meeting. Secre
tary Alger saw the president, but not
alone on the Alaska matter. The sec

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
ETectuaI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or Watery
risings, q 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 foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show q Shiny, infiamed condt-
ton.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the sa-
fest and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, little NuX, Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tab
lets can now be found at all drug
stores, under the name Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Delegation Coming to Washington
From Hawaii.


From Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Word has
been received here that the delegation
Of Hawaiians who will come here to
oppose annexation, is made up of
Prince David KaWananakoa. James K.
Kaulia David Kalauokalani and J. M.
Kaneauka. The prince will pay his
own expenses, but that of the remain
ing delegates will be met by a sub
scription among the natives, the
amount to be raised being $4,000 The
delegation is to arrive at Washington
about Dec. 1. Mr. Kaulia will act as
official chairman. He will bring with
him the resolutions adopted at mass
meeting of natives, the essential fea-
ture being opposition to annexation.
The delegation will not urge the res
toration of the former queen, or of
any other representative of royalty,
but will confine their efforts to having
the present status of Hawaii as a
republic maintained. The committee
will communicate with Queen Liliuok-
alani and endeavor to secure her in
dorsement Of this plan but, failing in
this, they are authorized to proceed
without her cooperation for the MAIN
tenance Of the present status. The
delegation expects to have an early
interview with President Mckinley.

ment by the natives may be offset by

LABOR CONTRACTS INVOLVED.
Right to Terminate Them Must Be
Mutual.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 6-The
supreme court of Arkansas today,
handed down decision which is of the
greatest interest to the public in gen
eral, as we'll as to the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers in particular. 1t
is we'll known the locomotive engineers
are all employed under a contract by
which seniority of service gives priority
of right to employment, so that when
Slackness of business demands that one
or two engineers shall be discharged,
the last engineer employed shall be the
first dismissed. One of the senior en-
gineers having been discharged, he
brought suit on the ground that he was
discharged without cause and in viola
ton of his contract of employment. 1t
was conceded that his contract gave
him the right to quit at pleasure, and
the court denied his right to recover on
the ground that no control can be valid
that gives only one party thereto the
right to terminate it. The court holds
that the right to rescind or Terminate
contract must be mutual. The deci-
sion is far-reaching, affecting as it does
organized labor Of all classes work
ing under contract agreements.

WARDEN WAS TOO JEALOUS.
Details of the killing OF WeidseII
and Three Indians.

WALKER, Mimi, Nov. 6.-Dr. Hart, sub
agent at Leech Lake reservation, has just
the purpose of investigating the reported
killing of three Indians and game warden.
He says:
Upon arriving at Leech lake James Fisher
reported that he had just visited the place
where the fight took place, and there found
the body of the game warden. Evidences
of a terrible conflict remained, and this after
six days had passed, There was good deal
of blood upon the ground which was trampled
and torn up. Mr.. Fisher did not examine the
body carefully, only making a general eX-
animation of the surroundings. The body
lay upon it's side with the face to the ground.
There were three wounds in the back made
with a large knife and the head and face
were badly disfgured: This was done with
a club, which was lying by the side of the
body. The game warden's boat was close by.
and contained a number of nets, which had
probably been taken from the white people
in the vicinity.
shot, but are yet alive about first
reported The Indians, two men, one woman
and boy, were camped on Turtle Lake
river, and were skinning muskrats when the
game warden Whose name was Charles Weld
SELL came up in his canoe, and after land
ing showed them his star and revolver. He
took their axe and two guns and then be-
gan taking the muskrat skins. Very few
words passed between them, when the war
den placed his revolver at the old mans
abdomen and fired. The young man told
the warden to stop, when he, too. was shot
one ball making flesh wound on top of the
head and the second passing through the
abdomen The woman was also shot, but
made desperate attack upon the warden
The old man, having revived, also attacked
the warden with knife and killed him.
1t seems beyond belief that this man the
old Indian) over sixty years of age, with a
gunshot wound completely through the abb
dominal cavity. could have succeeded in over
coming and killing the warden. This is
however, no more wonderful than the fact
that these three Indians, wounded as they
were, travelled over ten miles in a canoe to
DR.. Hart says that this family is one of
the best and quietest on the reservation,
and would be less apt to do anything wrong
than any he knows. The two Indians who
were reported as certainly dying are in good
shape and, if nothing unforeseen happens,
will get well.

PINE NEARLY GONE.
Only One-Eishth of the Original
Timber Remains in Wisconsin.


ASHLAND, Wis, Nov eff all the
white pine timber cut in Wisconsin
from 1873 to 1896, both inclusive, could
be reduced to boards an inch thick and
twelve inches wide, these boards would
cover a roadway almost half a mile
wide extending around the world. Any

The increase in the value of pine has
lead to a closer scrutiny of land re-
jected in former years, and no little
timber is now being cut which old es-
timators refused to consider.
Quite a few years ago the pine was
cut from 100000 or more acres of Wis
consin Central land, and the operator
made good profit. A few years later
another man went to the same land
and logged, also with good profit.
And little later a third man re-
peated the operation. Here was land
from which all pine was supposed to
have been cut by the first operator,
profitably logged afterward at inter-
walls by two men. 1t was current gos-
sip that the last man cleared as much
money as the first one, owing, of
course, to the increase in the value of
pine.
