GET FLESH.
Get Strength, VigOr, Clear Complexion
And Good Digestion, Not by Patent
Medicine, But in Natures Own Way.
adopted the report.

Any honest physician will tell you
that there is but one way to getinCreased
flesh; all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils to the contrary not withstand
ing.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor of mind and
body, that is through the stomach by
wholesome food well digested. There is
no reason or common sense in any other
method whatever,
People are thin, run down, nervous,
pale and shakey in their nerves, simply
because their stomaChs are weak.
They may not think they have dys-
pepsia, but the fact remains that they
do not eat enough food or what they
eat is not quickly and poperly digested
as it should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secre-
ton of gastric juice. - ......
Natures remedy in such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which do this, but none so readily as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, Which are
designed especially for all stomach
troubles, and which cure all digestive
weakness on the common sense plan of
furnishing the digestive principles which
the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect is to increase the
appetite and increased vigor, added
flesh, pure blood, and strength of nerve
and muscle is the perfect natural result.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form OF
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. May be found at druggists at
Soc for full sized package or direct by
mail from Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.

Senator Tillman, Until Then, Wants a
Head Tax on Immigrants.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Till
man has given notice of an amendment
to the tariff bill providing for a head
tax of 500 on all immigrants to the
United States. The amendment also
makes it misdemeanor punishable by

to enter the United States for the pur-
pose OF engaging in trade or manual
labor without intending to become a
citizen.
These provisions are modified by q
provision to the effect that they "shall
only remain in effect until silver shall
be admitted to our mints for coinage at
the ratio of l6 to /, on the same condi-
tions with gold.

HAWAII AND IT'S JAPANESE.

ed at Honolulu the "Chronlcle"
remarked that japan would never
90 to the extreme of coercing the
Dole Government, because of the
relations borne by Hawaii to the
United States. That opinion is
now being justified by events.
Far from indulging in jingoism
and buster the japanese Minister
at Honolulu is doing his best to
bring matters to peaceful CON
clusion. He wants to learn the
merits of the trouble over immi-
grafton and says that if japan
finds that her rights have been
abused she will ask for "exact
damages" regarding Hawaii,
meanwhile, as a ward of the Unit
ed States. So different is this
from the high tone which the Ha-
waiians expected when the sailing
of the Naniwa was announced,
that the war scare has wholly sub.
sided and the island people are
banqueting their hitherto unwel-
come guests.
The direct japanese issue need
not, therefore, be considered fur
ther. If it comes up on ques-
ton of damages it will be adjust
ed, as such things are, without Sc
rious friction. But what Hawaii
needs to look out for carefully,
and which really BODIES i'll to the
state, is the disposition Of the
horde of Japanese now on the
ground to foment domestic trouble.
If these people ever obtain the
suffrage which they seek they will
overturn white rule by their votes.
Ii not, they will be constan in
centive to the natives to rebel
again, and in such event would be
likely to join hands with the in
surgents and make their efforts
formidable.
Under island precedent one does
not have to be a citizen of Hawaii
to legally revolt against the Gov
ernment. Unnaturalized Ameri-
cans, Englishmen, Germans and
Portuguese have done it, and why
not Japanesep We regard it
as a moderate prediction that if
Hawaii remains indefinitely as an
independent power the local Japa-
nese will in some way get control
of it. They are proud, high
spirited and venturesome, and
they resent being classed as aliens
with the Chinese. when all the
privileges of the state are open to
Portuguese, Greeks and negroes.
Should the natives, by their help
or otherwise, get the upper hand
once more, the enfranchisement
of the Japanese would follow.
The United States could not pre-
vent it, yet such thing would be
a death blow to American in
fuence and trade.
The hope of Hawaii is to obtain
white labor in place of Asiatic
labor, and the planters have now
come to understand the fact. Yet
white labor is not going to blind
itself to the system of slave labor
now in vogue on the islands, but
will demand the same considera-
tion which is vouchsafed it here.
If the planters will take it on the
basis held by beet sugar growers
or manufacturers, or upon co.
operative plan, we do not doubt
that the labor will be forthcoming
and that the islands will be thor
oughly Americanized. Short of
that there is no domestic safety
except through annexation and
this, as the planters know, is
seriously impeded by the dislike
of bringing thirty or forty thou
sand contract labor Asiatics under
the Stars and Stripes.-San Fran

GLUE ASBESTOS.
Canada and Italy Have Serious
Connection im hfriCM.


Competitor In ifricu.
Canadian and Italian asbestos will
find serious competitor in the blue as
bcstos recently discovered in the Cape
Colony, since the South y frican product
is less than half as heavy and furnishes
fibers considerably finer and longer
than any other, says the Detroit I'ri-
bune. The South African fiber has been
worked into webs, which are but little
inferior to those made of vegetable
fiber, and are absolutely frepruuf.
Twine. cord and rope made of this blue
asbestos will not only resist fire, but
also most of the known chemicals. COR
rosive vnTnrs and atmospheric intlu-
ences. These qualities will open a
new field for the employment of ashes
tOs fabrics in chemical laboratories. and
for the caulking of chemical apparatus.
a novel application of this material
is the working of blue asbestos fiber
into mattresses for hospitals. They
are cooler in summer and warmer in
winter than those made either of ami
NAL hair or vegetable fiber, aud no ver-
min can live in this mattress. Expert
ments are now being made of working
this fiber into cloth for iiremen's APP
parel. OF course the long fiber blue as
bestos can also be employed for all the
uses TO which white asbestos has been
put heretofore. While tritle more ex-
pensive, its superior qualities make it
we'll worth the difference

CANNON BALL STORY.
Alfred GrissoEn Tells of n Narrow Es-
cape In AIabamn


sAlfred Grissom, the manager of the
summer excursion boats. has a cannon
ball story which he says is Gospel truth.
People in the excursion business have
a strict regard for veracity, aud many
OF his friends believe every word OF it.'
says the st. Louis Republic.
Several years ago. the story rams,
Mr.. Grissom was in st. James parish,
La. He had occasion to visit "A sawmill
where the big cottonwood logs were be-
ing cut into lumber. His attention was
attracted to a particularly large log.
when suddenly there was a loud crash
like that of the teeth striking n nail.
Windows were broken, men shouted
and the machinery was stopped. Mr..
Grissom was not hurt as he had i'm
agined. Something had happened and
he stopped to see the cause. The big
log was removed from the rack and
split open. A large cannon ball was
imbedded in the center. The saw had
struck it and broke into myriad of
pieces which few in all directions. Five
pieces passed through his hat, one
struck his watch and glanced off, an
other hit a silver dollar in his vest
pocket and left n scratch along its sur
face. Luckily, none of the flying par
ticles struck his body or did other in
jury than break few panes of glass in
the Office compartment.

TeetotnIers Were No Good.

One Of the best-known stories in con-
nection with the late Sir Benjamin
Ward Richardson's advocacy of temper
ance tells how he had been on a visit to
one of the three or four small towns
in England which have no public
houses. Although there were 1000 peo-
pie there the doctor was nearly starv-
ing. One day young medical man
came to Sir Ben jamin for advice as to TAX
ing thepractice, and Sir Benjamin, plac-
ing his hands on the young doctors
shoulders, said: Take my advice and
don't. Those wretched teetotalers not

Tho ovcen,s MeiskonIer.

In the Contemporary Review Mrs.
Emily Crawford, writing her reminis-
cences of Queen Victoria, thus describes
the purchase of one of the cleverest lit
tie canyases Meissonier ever painted.
The occasion of the buying of the pic
ture was visit to the Palais de lin
dustrie in Paris. Prince Albert sin
gled out as worthy of admiration a hor-
rid little painting that had every quail
ity manipulation could give--'Le RiXie,
or The Brawl.' Ruffians were shown
engaged in deadly tussle. The tech
nique was marvellous. Meissonier up to
that time a struggling artist. was the
painter. The emperor bought the
painting behind the queens back for
{ 1000, and presented it next day to
her husband as a birthday gift. The
subject was inauspicious. 1t would
have startled an old Roman in the
princes place" Certainly Prince Al
bert had good taste. and so had Louis
Napoleon, as far as Meissonier is con-
Cerned.

COLONEL j. b. Thomas Superintend-
ent OF the Dayton Soldiers Home, was
asked at the Gibson how much fUundat-
ion there is for the popular impression
that the old soldiers are now rapidly dy-
ing of. There is mighty little," said he,
"for the deaths during the p st year have
been fewer than for some time. and are
uever much over the average among
people of their ages. we average about
600 inmates the year around, and dur
ing the past year the number of deaths
was 343. believe somebody has figured
out that according to averages and pr5-
cedents the last old soldiermust die be-
fore 1887. Taking the Revolution as a
precedent it will be a hundred years or
more before the last widow ofa union
vetern will be no more. J his, of course
is accounted for by the fact that young
girls oi II or so become attracted by the
grizZle1 old warriors, and marriage
takes place when the man is 70 50 or even
80 years old. Say man went into the
Rebellion when he was II; by 1880 he
would be S5 years old; let him marry a
girl of fifteen then, and she would be on
