FROM TaB PRESIDENT.
MR.. OTTO GRAAfM WRITES SOME
IMPRESSIONS OF HIS Eu-
ROPnAN TRIP.

The following letter from Hon. Otto
Gramm, president Of the board Of trus-
tees. was received In the city q few dzys
ago by MI. David McCuilagh. Think
ing that the many friends OF Mr.. Gramm
would be glad to hear from him We pub
fish this interesting letter:
Berne. Sept. 20. 1ss7.-Here 1 am In
the land Of candles and feather beds.
They have beautiful electric lights here.
which consist Of a match and q candle
for your room. and that sort Of light IL
not the best to write by. l have had q
very fine trip 80 far, everything has been
very nice, but the weather, which has
been bad most Of the time. rains. and
that is not pleasant. I stopped at Frie>
burg with SOM of my people for i've
days and had q very pleasant time. They
wished me to stop longer but l could not.
Yesterday was the first day that APP
peared natural, the sun a out and It
was good and warm, so l got thawed out
to sone extent. We arrived here at 4
o'clock and at this point you have a most
glorious view Of the snow-clad Alps,
something like you see from Laramie.
The sun-set was a beautiful sight and /
suppose that nowhere do you get the
same view.
The trip down the Rhine was magnti-
cent, as You pass 80 many old ruined
castles. The Romans occupied that whole
section. so they fortified il by building
castles on the high rocky points, but the
and now they are but ruins. There 10
but one castle that has been restored.
TIE hills are one mass OF grape vines.
This is the place where they grow the
best wine. 1 do not see how the vines
grow for the rocks, but the soil is carried
up on peoples backs to start the vine.
The country looks like a beautiful green
carpet. as every little bit Of soil Is culti-
vated. There are no fences, 50 they herd
the cattle or use them the same 10 we do
horses. You see a horse and a COW
hitched together, Of oxen and horses. but
they seem to get along together. I was
wondering now one Of MI broncos
would act tied to a cow. Seems to me
there would be q circus. Berne Is q
quaint old place. different from anything
that l have seen 90 far. Today w strike
a little farther into the Alps.

THE OLD WAY.

either BY selecting certain foods and re-

words the starvation plan Is by many
supposed TO be the drst essential.

Dyspepsia makes It appearance a course

All this Is radfcafly wrong. II Is fool

self starves every organ and every nerve
and every fbre in me 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
to digess 1t. This Is exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lelts 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 1t for
him. In this way the system Is nor-
lshed and Uhe overworked stomach rest
ed, because The tablets win digest the
food whether the stomach works or not.
One Of these tablets will digest 5000
gratns OF meat or esga.

until 1t reaches the mill. Nearly all of

py the practice of dealing in cotton at
gross rates. - -
Inc advent into the market of cotton
put up into new forms of bales, of proper
conultion, gives an opportunity to
remove these evils and their causes. The
du form of bales can be made entirely

AS large amount of cotton this sea-

we therefore, insist upon better bal
ing ana handling of cotton and upon n
system OF baling at net rate, and we
pleuge ourselves to give the strongest
possible preference to cotton so baled,
handled and Sold"
IL was stated in the course of the dis
cuSsi0n that Mt least two new forms of
cyiindrical bales will have been invented
ana are actively promoted, as well as one
new form OF the square bale, and that
the Vastly superior manner in which the
foreign cotton reaches the mills has made
lnanuIacturers more disguised with the
slovenly manner in which the American
cotton is put up.
Inc members showed firm resolution
to insist on better methods of preparation.

adoption OF any particular form of bale

to secure such improved methods of bal
ing as VIII assure them that they will re-
ceive ut the mills the cotton which they

adds. We're las steady as rocks and
drove back the enemy with heavy loss.
Further details from the Madam val
ley show that the loss to Gen, Kempster's
brigade is quite serious. The force con
sisted of the Dorsettshire regiment and
regiments of Sikhs and Ghurkas. The
insnrgent tribesmen made their usual Mt
tack upon the rear guard. but were bril-
liantly repulsed by the Sikhs. The Dor
settshires lost their way in the darkness
and were cut of by the enemy. Lieut.
Hale and Lieut.. Cook and nine men were
killed. The rest of the Dorsettshires at
tached themselves to the Sikbs and ar
rived in camp in safety. The officers
killed were Lieut. Wylie of the Ghurkas
and Lieut.. Warn of the Sikhs. Fourteen
Sikhs and Ghurkas were killed. Col
Abbott. Capt. Constantine and Lieut..
Wool Were wounded and twenty-eight
Silks and Ghurkas were wounded. 4.
This shows that fifty-cight men were
placed hors dc combat in this affair. of
whom twenty-seyen officers and men
were killed and thirty-one wounded.
Two. companies Of Sikhs holding the
spur Of the hill were SO fiercely assaulted
that they had to call for achievements.
Col. Haughton with the balance Of the
Sikhs regiment rushed to their support.
The whole force withdrew gradually,
fighting every step to the valley. Dusk
had now set In and the enemy were
crowding the British on nll sides. Col.
Haughton determined to camp for thu
night and sent FIVE companies to storm
a couple Of block houses. The Sikhs
drove the enemy out Mt the point OF the
bayonet. Six were killed and many
wounded during this, charge. The wound
