TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite aud Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of An indianapolis
Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having il think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat OF the
mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspaptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows Itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every, other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar; in others the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite, with ac-
emulation Of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.

was, however, a unanimity of sentiment
in favor of petitioning the committee
through mass meetings, clubs and COM
mittees to nominate a Bryan man for
judge on the Bryan platform.
The silverites appeared to mean bust
ness. Former Congressman Hosea H.
Rockwell of the Elmira district, who was
permanent chairman of the Buffalo state
convention last year, took a prominent
part in the conference.
Jay w. Forrest of Albany, said that
since the last presidential election, free
silver club had been formed in every cleo
ton district in Albany county. He also
said the free silver Democrats of his
county would probably favor the holding
of a state convention if the state com-
mittee should nominate sound money
Democrat for judge of the court of APP
peals and ignore the issues involved in
the last national campaign.

THAT SPECIAL MESSAGE.

Regardless of the fact that the last
campaign was fought on the currency
question and the further fact that the
people elected Mr.. Mckinley believing
that something would be done toward
securing a better system, it seems that
the tariff makers have been able to pre-
vail upon the president to delay action
Indefinitely. They seem TIC have over
come his Judgment and his sense of du-
ty to the people.
On Wednesday it was announced that
an executive message would be sub
Initted to congress at once asking that
body to appoint committee to devise a
plan for revising the currency system.
The next day Senators Aldrich and AL
Iison, Congressman Dingley and other
tariff leaders visited the White House
and the visit was Immediately followed
by the statement that the message
would not be submitted until after the
tariff bill was out of the way and prob
ably not at this session.
Just now the work of the bimetallic
commission which is in Europe gives
promise of hopeful beneficial results.
Senator Wolcott's committee is reported
to have so far enlisted France in the
work it has undertaken that the French
minister of finance has appointed a
committee to join the American bimet-
allie commission in London in it's eff
forts to secure the cooperation of
England.
The American commissioners and the
French government are clearly in
earnest in what they have undertaken
France saved gold from demonetiza-
ton during the period following the

for fear it would become too cheap
France continued to take it in and pay

WI TING FANG TO GO.
The New Chinese Minister Will be
Recalled to Take Japanese
Mission

Washington, D. c., July 9.-Wu Ting
Fang, the new Chinese minister, is to
be recalled some time in August. This
information comes in the nature of
surprise, as he reached this country
only about two months ago to assume
diplomatic relations between this coun-
try and China. No official document
has as yet been received ordering the
recall of the minister, but the private
advices were accompanied by copies of
Chinese. newspapers, all containing the
same intelligence, which leaves but lit
tie doubt that the information is cor
rect. Inquiry was made at the lega
ton, and while it was impossible to see
the minister, the secretary acknowl
edged that such information had been
received, but in the absence of official
information declined to confirm the re-
port.
1t was, however, learned that WI
Ting Fang will be transferred to Toxic
to succeed Yu Keng, who was formerly
minister at that place. Charges have
been preferred against Yu Keng, and
his conduct of affairs in Japan has been
under investigation by Lii Hung Chang
for considerable time. 1t was finally
decided to remove him, and he will
probably be replaced by WI Ting
Fang. The latter will be succeeded in
this country by Lee King Ye, who is at
present chief clerk of foreign affairs
and is directly under Ii Hung Chang.

the police force has been named to take
charge of an election board. 1t is De-

assigned to the second precinct of the
First ward. His service this board will
be in direct violation of rule 10 of the
rules and regulations as published by the
police board which is as follows:
while policemen lose none of their
rights as citizens by their appointment,
yet active participation by them in man
aging political affairs, and in what is
known as 'electioneering', interferes with
the discharge of their duties. and it is
hereby forbidden, and such participation
by a policeman will be regarded as suffi-
cient cause for dismissal

THE DOOM OF THE TIP.

OLIVE BRANCH TAKEN
By the Silver Republicans From
"SOund Money" Men
But Will be Carried Over Into
POpulfst Camp.
A Curious Story That is Given Out
Among Politicians.

The controversy between the two fac
tons of the Republican party which has
resulted in the exclusion of free silver
supporters from the regular Republican
primaries in many counties of the
state, has assumed such proportions
that the managers of the sound mon
ey' wing fear a total disruption of the
party in Kansas, and Mr.. Leland and
Mr.. Simpson, the state chairman, have
adopted a plan, so it is asserted, by
which they hope to bring about a set
Element of the quarrel and at the same
time keep the silver men in line for the
next campaign.
This story is in general circulation in
Topeka and has some interesting fea-
lures.
The contention emanated in Shawnee
county. This was the first county in
which the line was drawn against the
silver men to whom the sound money"
Republicans denied the right of an I'M
hampered registration of their views at
the ballot box.
The silver men were excluded. They
were told through the action of the
county central committee that their
services were no longer needed to main
tain the responsibility of the party of
Lincoln, Grant and Harrison, and were
politely but effectually barred from
participating in primaries and conven-
tions as had been the custom in years
past.
Following the example of the Shaw
nee county Republicans, who Intention
ally or otherwise, started a buzz-saw in
operation, other counties in the state
shut out the silver men. Protests and
indignant remOnstrances against such
action were Immediately. registered, but
they came too late. Soon after the
sound money" men had taken these
radical steps, Chairman Simpson arriv-
ed home from a trip in the east and to
a Journal reporter declared his unqual-
flied dfsapproval of the action of the
partisans in barring the silver men.
Mr.. Simpson, through the medium of
an interview in the Journal, sounded a
note of warning which was instrument
tai in preventing a number of counties
| from following the lead made by Shaw
nee. Some of the radical members of
| the party did not heed the admonition
| of the chairman, and additional COM
| plicationS were produced by a rein
dorsement of the sound money principle
and a denunciation of the sympathizers
and supporters of Bryan.
Mr. Simpson and Mr.. Leland have de-
| cided, so the story goes, that the thing
| to do now is to permit the silver men to
| name many or all the candidates for
| county offices and throw to them the
the party. In this manner they hope to
