GRATIFYING RESULTS.
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS WITH
 THE NEW STOMACH REMEDY.
Neta Patent Medicine, but Safe Cure
 for all Forms of Indigestion.

The results of recent investigation have established, beyond question, the great value of the new prepara- ton for indigestion and stomach troubles; it is composed of the diges- tive acids, pepsin, bisnuth, Golden Seal and similar stomachics, prepar- ed in the form of 20 grain lozenges, pleasant to the taste, convenient to carry when travelling, harmless to the most delicate stomach, and probably the safest, most effectual cure yet discovered for indigestion, sour stomach, loss of appetite and flesh, nausea, sick headache, palpita- ti0n of heart, and the many symp- toms arising from imperfect diges- tion of food. They cure because they cause the food to be promptly and thoroughly digested before it has time to sour. ferment and poison the blood and nervous system.
 Over six thousand people in the State of Mi.higan alone in 1894 were cured of stomach troubles by Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Full sized packages may be found at all druggists at Soc, or sent by mail on receipt of price from Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich. Send for free book on stomach diseases.

JAcKsoN's "LIMBLEss COTTON

JACKsON's "LIMBLEsS COTTON
 Col. R. J. Bedding, Director of the Georgia Experimental station, says:
 This station has received a num- Der of inquiries from farmers and others in regard to the merits of the so-ealled "Jackson's Limbless Cot ton; and as similar inquiries will probably be received in the future, it has been thought best to give the desired information in this form. Aside from this consideration how ever, and In the absence of any in quiries of this nature, it is the duty of the Stations to give information to the farmers in regard to the "ea- pacity of new plants or trees for ac- climation," and in general to give to the farmers the results of "sueh other researches and experiments bearing directly on the agriculture of the United States as may be deemed advisable"
 This so-ealled "Jaekson's Limbless Cotton" was first brought before the public, under this name, in the fall 1896. 1t was said to have sprung from seeds obtained in 1895 in Cen tral Africa. 1t was claimed that it belonged to q new genus; that it would produce four to six bales of lint per acre on ordinary upland; that the lint is extra long, fine and strong, etc.
 The claim of African origin, and that it is of new genus of Gossyp- ium, seems to have been abandoned, and the schedule of It's merits is as follows:
 ':This cotton has become famous throughout the cotton growing world, and it seems destined to work a revolution in the cotton business
 CD It is entirely limbless.
 (2) The stalk grows from ten to fourteen feet high.
 (3) The fibre is ineomparably the finest in the world.
 t4) The fibre is remarkably strong and one and half inches long, per- fectly twhite, and has a satln-like touch.
 (5) We have four acres in cultiva- tion this season, and expert cotton growers say that we will get twenty bales from the four acres, that is,tive bales to the acre.
 tG) It is most prolific cotton in the world"
 The price fixed for seeds of this "Limbless" $1.0O per 100 seeds, or $2.5O per 800 seeds. At $l.00 per 100 seeds one pound would cost $60.0O, and one bushel $1 ,SOO0O The price has recently been reduced to $70O per pound of seed. or $2l0.0O per bushel!
 The above are the claims put for ward for this remarble cotton by it's promoters.
 After considerable difficulty the Director succeeded in getting a small quantity of seed (of unquestioned purity and they were planted in d. rect competition with twenty other varieties comprising the Station s "variety Test" Of course, all the conditions affecting the twenty-one varieties were made precisely the same as far as practicable. Fhe fol- lowing table gives the total yield ner acre of each one of the twenty one varieties, up to October 6, which

General Bissell, and his position given to
Bernard Goode of Detroit, Mich, one of
Don Dfckinson's political henchmen AS
soon as Postmaster General Gary took

asked for his resignation. This brought
Don Dickinson to Washington to try to
save his political worker. Mr. Dickinson
has been in the city but one week and has
brought every possible influence to bear to
have Goode retained.
Yesterday Goode was notified to hand in
his resignation, and Don Dickinson en-

his man on the ground that he, Dickinson,
had worked for the gold democratic tick

RENEWED HIS BOND

main in Ohioe.
The Indien tions Arc That His Stay Mt
the New York Subtreasury Will
he hut Temporary.

Mr.. Jordan, assistant treasurer at New
York, had an interview with Secretary
Gage at the Treasury Department today,
which resulted IN the renewal Of his official
bond to cover his administration of the
affairs of the subtreasury at New York
until such time as the President may deem
1t expedient TO make a change in the office.
Mr.. jordan is now under bond in the sum of
Sl00OG0 under his present commission which
expires on the 22d instant. The renewal of
his bond under the arrangement effected
today will permit Mr.. Jordan to continue in
charge of the subtreasury indefinitely with
out the necessity, of reappointing for stat
ed term. In other words, 1t has been ar
ranged that he snail remain in office with
out new commission until his successor
shall nave been appointed and qualified.
Although there may be no immediate
change in the office of treasurer of the
United States now held by Mr.. Morgan. it
seems to be well established that Mr. Ellis

Geive that appointment, and that Senator
Platt will acquieSce In the temporary reten-

Much Pleased With Their SOjOurn in
Washington and Their Treatment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and
their household returned to New York to-
day at IL o'clock, after having spent three
delightful months in Washington. The
Vanderbilts occupied the Lowery mansion
at the corner of K street and Vermont
avenue. and their coming caused quite
flutter in fashionable circles. 1t was quick
1y made known. however, that Mr.. VAN
derbilt was an invalid. and that he would
participate in no social gaieties.
By common consent, the wishes of the
family were respected, and their retirement
was in nowise intruded upon. The result
CT this was that Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
returned to New York with a feeling of
deep obligation to the people of Washing
ton and its newspapers for the respect
shown their wishes for privacy. Mr.. Van
derbilt and Mrs Vanderbilt have constant
ly commented upon this, and before their
departure spoke of their temporary resi-
dence here as having been most enjoyable
1t was particularly gratifying to them
however, on account of the improvement
of Mr.. Vanderb;t's health. He has spent
most of his time out of doors driving and
has gained strength steadily. The Wander
bilts. as stated, lived very quietly. but they

were ex-Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, Dr.

IVORY'S DEMAND.
Government Will Not support His
Claim for Indemnity.

The United States government VIII not
support the demand for indemnity upon the
British government of Edward Ivory, who
was for some time in prison in London
under suspicion of being concerned in
dynamite plot. Ivory was arrested in
Copenhagen and seat to England. There
he was kept for several months in prison,
while the government officers. were en-
deavoring to collect evidence TO sustain the
charge made against him under the ex-
plosives act. When the case came to trial
the British attorney general on the third
day admitted that it was not worth while
to proceed further with the prosecution
and the jury at the direction of the court
returned a verdict of not guilty, and Ivory
was set free. Now he seeks through an
attorney to collect, through the Department
of State, large indemnity-about $1U0,0oo-
on account of Illegal imprisonment and
hardship suffered by him. 1t appears, how
ever, that the proceedings to which Ivory
was subjected were regular in every re-
spect and similar in every point to those
that would be imposed in the case of any
foreigner or native in the United States
The authorities therefore hold that there Is
no substantial reason for the interference

N ON ! NATIONS S
Senate District Committee Expected to Meet
Next Friday.
They VIII Then Dispose of the Dis
trfct COmmissiOnershfp
Nominations.

1t is likely that there will be a meeting
of the Senate District committee on Friday
to dispose of the District commissionership
nominations. The committee are In 10
special hurry about the matter, but If
a sufficient number of the members of
the committee are in the city Friday and
Mr.. Faulkner is then on hand they will
meet on that day
1t does rot appear that there is any bit
terness in the opposition to Mr. Ross, and
many of the best silver men in the Senate
think that the idea of making an issue in
his case is a mistake, especially in view
of the fact that he has never been AFRO
CANT or offensive in the expression of his
difference of opinion with other demo-
Gratis.
The more the matter is considered the
more unteTable the opposition appears. The
fact that he has served six years as Com
missioner and occupies a position above
criticism, and Is the popular choice of the
District without distinction as to party
or factions, is regarded by many who do
not believe as he does on the money ques-
tion as sufficient reason why he should be
confirmed.
He is respected by every one in the SEN
ate who knows him, and has many warm
friends among the silver men. as well as
among others. 1t is thought that very
few of the older men in the Senate will
sanction the opposition, and it is believed
that those who now feel that they should
vote against confirmation in their devotion
to silver will finally relax their opposition
when they come to consider how insigniIi-
cant would be the political point to be
made by defeating the nomination.
1t is believed that those who feel that
they should irsist upon the appointment
Of silver man will content themselves
with formal vote against confirma ton,
and i; is possible they may decide not to
go even as far as that in view of the fact
that some of the most prominent and earn
est silver men in the Senate are friends
of Mr.. Ross and will strongly support
him. t.-r--.-.
