Through a few country
papers the railroads have
opened their war against a
railroad commission. AS
they grow bolder we expect
to see their paid lobbyists
invade the halls of Legislation
in person instead of dlstrlbu-
ting free these papers among
the members.
The above editorial from
the Gazette is an indirect
way the "old lady" has of
saying that all country pa,

her views on the subject of a
railroad commission have
been bought by the railroads.

Gazette's editor lives down
at Little Rock, where the
governor, who dictates many
important matters for the

years and declares that
many things shall or shall
not be law; and where the
supreme court sits and
sends forth its edicts,

country editor should not
be surprised at the Gazette
for assuming that her views

THE OLD WAY

VI treating Dyspepsia and Ind igestion
by Dieting a Barbarous and Useless
One.
We say the old way, but really it is a
very common one at present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians as
we'll consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure Indigestion is to
diet, either by selecting certain foods
and rejecting others or to greatly di-
minish the quantity usually taken, in
other words the starvation plan is by
many supposed to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again, but still the
moment DYSPEPSIA makes its appear
ance a course of dieting is at once ad-
vised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting or starvation to a man suffering
from dyspepsia, because indigestion
itself starves every organ and every
nerve and every fiber in the body
What the dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases OF
dyspepsia; in other words, the patient
eats plenty of wholesome food and
Stuart's Dyspepsia, Tablets digest it for
him. In this way the system is nour-
ished and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest
~
not. One of these tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat or eggs.

ton. Sold at SOC for full sized pack

Poisonous persniration.

The question of the toxic qualities of
perspiration, though not quite a new
one Gnasmuch as M. Berthelot at a re-
cent meeting of the Paris Medical
Academy reminded his listeners that, if
Africanus can be believed, the perspira-
tion gathered from a horse was used
in ancient times to render arrows poison
ous), has recently formed the subject Of
research. Several experiments have
proved that human perspiration is toxic
A series of guinea-pigs and rabbits were
killed by inoculations of perspiration
gathered from flannel shirt worn by q
healthy young man after dancing a CO.
tillion. A glove worn by lady who
danced vigorously through a ball was
utilized for inoculations with equally
deadly results. NJ. Arloing's more re
cent experiments show that perspira-
ton resulting from muscular exertion is
more toxic than that consequent from
a vapor bath.-British Medical Journal.

AFTER THE SURRENDER.
Gen. Grant Would Permit No Ce1e-
bration at Appomattox.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning with Grant in the Century"
describes the surrender at Appomattox.
General Porter says:
Before parting Lee asked Grant to no
tify Meade of the surrender, fearing that
fighting might break out on that front,
and lives be uSeleSSly lost. This request
as complied with, and two Union offi-
GERS We're sent through the enemy's lines
as the shortest route to Meade, some of
Lees officers accompanying them to pre-
vent their being interfered with A lit
tie before 4 O'Clock General Lee shook
hands with General Grant, bowed to the
other officers, and with Colonel Marshall
left the room. One after another we
followed, and passed out to the porch
Lee signa1ed to his orderly to bring up
his horse. and while the animal was
being bridled the General stood on the
lowest step, and gazed sadly in the di-
rection of the valley beyond, where his
army lay-now an army of prisoners.
He thrice smote the palm of his left
hand slowly with his right fist in an
absent sort of way, seemed not to see
the group of Union officers in the yard,
who rose respectfully at his approach,
about him. All appreciated the sadness
that overwhelmed him, and he had the
personal sympathy of every one who
beheld him at this supreme moment of
trial The approach of his horse seemed
to recall him from his reverie, and he at
once mounted. General Grant now
stepped down from the porch, moving to-
ward him, and saluted him by raising
his hat He was followed in this act of
courtesy by all our officers present. Lee
raised his hat respectfully, and rode
off at slow trot to break the sad news
to the brave fellows whom he had so
long commanded.
General Grant and his staff then
started for the headquarters camp,
which. in the meantime, had been
pitched near by. The news of the sur
render had reached the Union lines, and
the firing of salutes began at several
points; but the General sent an order
at once to have them stopped, using
these words: THE war is over: the
rebels are our countrymen again; and
the best sign of rejoicing after the vic
tory will be to abstain from all demon
strations in the field" This was in
keeping with his order issued after the
surrender of Vicksburg: 'The paroled
prisoners will be sent out Of here to-
morrow Instruct the COM
manders to be orderly and quiet as these
prisoners pass, and to make no offensive
remarks
