A CRITICAL TIME.
During the Battle of
Santiago.
Sick or Well, a Rush Night
and Day.
The Packers at the Battle of Santi-
ago de Cuba were all Heroes
Their Heroic Efforts in Getting
Ammunitions and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.

P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3, writ
ing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d,
says: eve all had diarrhoea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed we
had no time to see doctor, for it was
case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammuni-
tions and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy, we were able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine was
the indirect saviour of our army, for if
the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way of getting
supplies to the front. There were no
roads that wagon train could use. NV
comrade and myself had the good fortune
to lay in a supply of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left Tampa, and
l know in four cases it absolutely saved
life"

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured OF Dys
pepsia After Suffering for Twenty
Five Years.

Nrs Sarah A. Skeels an estimable lady
residing at Lynnville, Jasper county, Iowa,
was for twenty-five years sufferer from
Dyspepsia and her complete restoration
to health is so remarkable that we present
the facts in the case for the benefit of our
readers. many of whom have doubtless
suffered in the same manner and VIII,
therefore, be interested in learning how
all stomach troubles may be avoided and
cured Mrs. Skeels says: l used only one
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
I received such great and unexpected bene-
fit that l wish to express my sincere graft
tude In fact ithas been six months since
I took the medicine and / have not had
one particle of distress or difficulty since.
And all this in the face of the fact that
the best doctors 1 consulted told me my
case was incurabe as I had suffered for
twenty-five years. l want half dozen
packages to distribute among my friends
here who are very anxious to try this
remedy. Truly ours,
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS.
The reason why Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets are so successful in curing Indigestion
and stomach trouble and the reason why it
never disappoints those who need 1t and
use 1t is because nothing is claimed for it
except what it will actually perform. 1t
is not a cure-all and no such claims are
made for 1t. 1t is prepared for the sole
purpose of curing Dyspepsia and the va
rious forms of indigestion
There is scarcely a patent medicine made
but what Is claimed TO cure dyspepsia as
well as a hundred other troubles. When as
a matter of fact remedy to cure Dyspep-
STA must be prepared especially for that
and nothing else; and among all the RENEE
dies, patent nostrums, bitters, etc. so ex-
tensively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only one
advertised as a cure for dyspepsia and
nothing else. The remedy is prepared by
the Stuart Company of Marshall, Mich,
and for sale by all druggists at 50 cents
per package. ard if you suffer from any
form of stomach arrangement or indiGes-
tion trial will not disappoint you.

FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE.
Two Oregon Men and a Dog Have Desperate
Struggle

A very handsome specimen of the cray
eagle family, which has been in the pos
session of r. L. e. Simmons and Dr. Hol-
comb, of Albina since Sunday, has at
tracted much attention, and has also
aroused the curiosity of their friends, as
they declined to say how they became pos
sessed of the bird and both declared that
they were at church on Sunday, and S
could not have had anything to do with the
killing of it, says the Portland Orogonian.
Yesterday a gentleman who resides out
on Columbia slough came to town and
told a story which has let the cat out of
the bag. He said that on Sunday two men
whom he knew to be residents of Albina,
but whose names he did not know, were
out hunting along the slough, and had a
desperate encounter with a big gray eagle,
which he witnessed with much interest I'M
til a charge of shot came pattering around
him. When he first observed the hunters
they were making a sneak under cover of
a fence. trying to get shot at some
geese. Just as they were within shooting
distance large gray eagle swooped down
and fastened his talons in one of the geese.
Without Offering to shoot at the other
geese as they few away the two hunters
and their dog rushed forward to attack the
eagle, which was endeavorng to carry off
the goose. but was not able to rise into the
air with it on account of its weight. The
dog reached the eagle first, and, not having
had any experience with this sort of
game" boldly attacked 1t. The eagle at
once abandoned the goose and turned its
attention to the dog, fixing its talons in the
sides of his head and beating him furiously
with its strong wings. The hunters, ar
irving at this juncture, the eagle released
the dog, which ran off yelping, and faced
it's more dangerous antagonists
In their excitement they DISCHARGED their
guns without taking aim. and one of them
came near shooting the interested specta-
tor They then dubbed their guns and did
their best to beat off the eagle, which was
desperately endeavoring to fasten its talons
in one or both of them, with the amiable
intention of pucking their eyes out. There
was a hot time on the slough for awhile;
the eagle having apparently lost all fear,
founced around and seemed to have more
beaks and talons than any double-headed
double breasted Prussian eagle ever seen.
The hunters made lively play with their
guns but the eagles SOAR plexus could
not be reached The hunters called and
called for their dog, but he had had enouah
and continued to calmly watch the fight
from a distance.
Finally a lucky blow stunned the gallant
bird. his wings dropped and he came to the
ground. and the hunters sprung on him ana
put an end to him.

The Wedding

The wedding will be particularly quiet
for many reasons. Mrs Mackay has never
recovered from the death of her son. She
is swarthed in Grape from head to heels
Several of the bridesmaids and number
of friends of the bride, such as Colonel
william Jay, who lost his daughter Laura,
are in deep mourning also, so the wedding
will be comparatively private. Yet hun
dreds of invitations are out.
But there are other reasons. Miss Duer
has a great distaste for show and ostenta-
ton an dwould never consent to great
display The honeymoon will be spent on
Long Island, where the groom-elect has
purchased a beautiful place. The supple
mentary honeymoon will be enjoyed in
Paris at Carlton House Terrace, where MIS-
Mackay lives. The young couple propose
then to visit Japan and wind up the globe
trotting season with a visit to London in
June and return to America next sum-
mer for the Newport season.

pine Islands a5 q question in which the
European powers are vitality interested
and they agree in saying that another
element of discord has been introduced

appears, had already heard of the re-
verse, declared that while the loss OF
so many ships was q misfortune, there
was satisfaction in the reflection that
the Spaniards had covered themselves
