TUESDAY. FEBRUARY l6. 1897.

THERE has been another fire at Column
bus within one week after the acquittal
of man who openly boasted that he
knew as much about some former fires
as those who talked so much" While
it has not been disclosed who was respon
sible for last weeks burning, one thing is
certain-Charles S. Sharp. Jr., had
nothing to do with it.
In THE face of the demand for reduction
in salaries and economy in government,
the Senate last week passed law increas-
ing the salaries of the members of the
State Board of Taxation from $1,000 to
$500 each. The plea for the increase
was that the members should have the
extra sum for expenses. but this was met
by the argument of Senator Parry that for
years the salary was 800 and about all
the members did was to sign the warrant
for their pay, and 1t was only recently
that they have been called upon to do
any actual work. Senator Skirm also
spoke against the bill and agreed to fill
the positions at $1,000 year, with first
class men, if any of the present members
desired to resign. The bill passed by the
close vote of IL to 8, Senators Parry and
Eugle voting against it.

WANAMAKER,s.
PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. IS, 1897.


A singular store. That is why
yeu like it. Wanamaker's and
world-ful of stores-two classes of
stores. Just two. Always new,
always attractive-more than a
store. AS much more as we have
the room to make it. But first and
foremost a store-an outlet for
goods SO important to producers that
it is really downhill from every
where.
Dependable goods gravitate here;
a college of watchers scour the
world that Philadelphia shoppers
may have the best. Sellers of trash
avoid us-and save their time. In
teresting at all times. Interesting
these gray winter days because new
goods are getting first showing, while
lots of goods for present needs are
being turned to cash-to your ad-
vantage and ours.

GET FLESH.

Get Strength, vigor, Clear Complex
ion and Good Digestion, Not by
Patent Medicine, But in Natures
Own way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased flesh;
all the patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary outstanding.
Nature has but one way to increa Sc flesh
strength and vigor OF mind and body and
that is through the stomach by wholesome
food well digested. There S no reason or
common sense in any other method what
ever.
People are thin, run down, ner vous, pale
and shaky IN their nerves simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food or what they eat is n ct quickly
and properly digested a S it should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
of gastric juice.
Nature sremedy in such cases is TO supply
what the weak stomach lacks. There are
several good preparations which viii do this,
but none 80 readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets which are designed especially for
all stomach troubles, and which cure all di-
gestive weakness Oh the common sense plan
of furnishing the digestive principles which
the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effects to increase the APP
petite, andincreased vigor, added flesh, pure
blood and strength of nerve and muscle is
the perfectly natural result.
STUART Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
May be found at druggists at so cents for
full sized package or direct 10y mail from
Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. Little book
on stomach diseases mailed free.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Syracuse is to have Sunday baseball
next season.
Centerfielder Mcvey signed with the
Athletic club yesterday.
Roaring Blr' Hassamer is driving a
coal wagon FOR his father in st. Louis.
Manager Stallings had a look at the
grounds yesterday and last night took in
some OF the sights.
The Pittsburg club has received the
signed contracts Of Third Paseman Dom
nelly and Pitcher Tannehill.
Joe Quinn, it is said. VIII be the first
Baltimore player TO be released. In this
event he viii probably find berth in
Louisville
Indianapolis has traded Dick Buckley,
Marty Hogan and Fred Roat to Grand
Rapids for Pitcher wolters, Utility HASA
mer and Infielder Camp.
Il. r. Won der Horst, president of the
Baltimore Baseball Club, announces that
he viii endeavor TO play Sunday games
in the Monumental City next season.
There is talk Of Jimmy Rogers, the
first baseman, becoming the manager of
the Louisvilles. The ex-senator is very
that he can fill the bill satisfactorily.
The Eastern league is still excited
over Syraeuse's purchase of Lezotte and
Jud Smith. II the clubs IN that class were
not game enough to bid against President
Kuntsch their license to talk now should
be revoked.
Frank Shugart, who played on severa
League tea ms and on the st. Paul nine
last year, has been signed by Minneapo-
lis to play short. Arthur Ball, who
played this position for the Minneapolis
club last year, may be turned down.
Dave Foutz is mentioned as a possible
League umpire. Dawes advantage will be
in not having 10 move around to keep
players from obstructing his view, mas
much as he will simply look over them:
then, too, he is so thin that there is no
danger OF his interfering with the ball.

This morning the host of the occasion,
James L. Young, appeared against Tolivcr
