SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A Simple Harmless Remedy-Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
 pepsia and Indigestion.

Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study of stomach trouble, says: All forms of indigestion really amount to the same thing, that is, failure to com pletely digest the food eaten; no mat ter whether the trouble is acid dys- pepsia or sour stomach, belching of wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss of hesh and appetite; a person will not have any of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural harmless way to thoroughly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by a sim pie remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggravated cases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable es- sences, pure aseptic pepsin, and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken after meals and al- lowed to dissolve in the mouth and mingling with the food in the stomach digests it completely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour.
 On actual experiment. one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods,
 It is safe to say if this wholesome remedy was better known by people generally, it would be a national blessing, as we are a nation of dys- peptics and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their origin to imperfect diges- tion and nutrition
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine, but a fifty cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach than fifty dollars worth of patent medicines and per son has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stom- ach, which he does not know, when widely advertised patent medicines are used.

NEW YORK FOREST FIRES.
West Point Saved by Heroic Efforts of
Soldiers-Villages in Peril.

West Point, N. Y, April 5.-For hours
Saturday West Point and Highland
Falls were threatened with destruction
by fire. Last night the sky was illum-
mated and miles of mountain forests
were blazing on the east side of the
river.
About noon the government sentinels
discovered the forest back of West
Point on fire. An alarm was sounded,
and the fire patrol, consisting of de-
tachments from all the companies, sped
to the mountain. A telephone message
to Highland Falls stopped the hundred
men who were Iaboring on the road,
and they, with the village company,
joined the military in extinguishing the
flames. 1t was hard work, but after
several hours the fire was subdued, and
the post and village were saved
CONSERVATION was caused at High
land and Garrison by hundreds of wild
cats, whose homes were in the noun
tain. They rushed down through the
open country, and ran through the pri-
vate grounds of Hamilton Fish's place
and the SlOans. John Donahue, of Car
risOn, it is reported, blew the heads off
two enormous cats with shotgun.
