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


Mrs. 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 read
ers, many of whom have doubtless suf-
fered in the same manner and will,
therefore, be interested in learning how
all stomach troubles may be avoided
and cured. Mrs. Skeels says: | used
only one package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and / received such great and
unexpected benefit that | wish to ex-
press my sincere gratitude. In fact 1T
has been six months since l took the
medicine and / have not had one par
ticle of distress or difficulty sinee. And
all this in the face of the fact that
the best doctors l consulted told me
my case was incurable as | had suffer-
ed for twenty-five years. 1 want half
dozen packages to distribute among
my friends here, who are very anxious
to try this remedy. Truly yours
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS.

1t Ii unavoidable that the policenan's
hands should be taken from their hold on
the prisoners arm. and thus the "oppor-
tune moment is present to every quick
witted chap who finds himself in custody.
In large places Of detention this work is
invariably done behind bars, or at least
behind ratings high enough to prevent
the ready egress of wouldbe fugitives.
There seems no good reason why the
searching in the city station house should
not be done in the cell, or in any event
within a room more securely closed than
by the swinging doors which ordinarily
form the entrance to the station. The
danger in the present case would be mini
mized IL 1t were possible to station police
ran or guard at the door. This. however.
cannot well be done here as long as the
force is kept at its present low ratio OF
numbers. This escape, coming so close
upon that of the murderer Powell short
time ago from another station house, tends
to weaken public confidence in the efficacy
of the police arrangements at these central
points of detention.

Conquered Assets, Not Liabilities.

From the London Chrcpicle.
Once more we cannot conceal our sur
prise at the ignorance of commentators in
general. and the Spanish government in
particular, of the relations between Spain
and the United States. The correspond
ents and the Spanish representatives on
the peace negotiations in Paris are now en-
gagged in discovering with amazement that
the United States will not take over the
Cuban debt, and proposes. the other
hand. to retain the Philippines. 1t has
been perfectly certain from the first that
the United States would not dream of max
ing herself responsible for the large Cuban
debt. incurred in coercing the people Of
Cuba and filling the pockets of corrupt
Spanish officials. What victorious nation
conquers is assets, not liabilities. More
over. we have said from the first that Spain
lost her opportunity to retain the Philip
pines. or any part Of them, by her mad
folly in pushing the war to it's bitter end.
We are quite sure that the next step will
be a very sharp reminder from the United
States that, after all, the war is not over,
and that unless Spain accepts the inevita-
BILE with what grace she can it will prompt
ly begin again.

Sample Campaign Stiffness.
From the Philadelphia Times (dem.),

One of the worst of recent examples of
reckless sensationalism is furnished by the
New York World in displayed article pur-
porting to connect the Presidents brother
Abner Mckinley, with War Department
jobbery." 1t may be said in advance that
while 1t would show bad taste in the Presi-
dents brother to be connected with govern
ment business in any way, and worse than
bad taste If he made use of the influence
which his name might give him in the de-
partments, 1t would not reflect upon the
President unless he was aware of what his
brother was doing. But in the case related
by the World it appears either that Abner
Mckinley was not in it at all or else that he
had no influence.
who bid on army supplies and failed to
receive a contract. He was then approach
ed by an unnamed "go-between." who told
him that the way to get contract was to
secure the influence Of Abner Mckinley
and that he could do this by agreeing to pay
him percentage of the proceeds. An
agreement was accordingly signed to this
enect-the payment to be made. Of course,
to the 'go-between"-but still the contract
went to others. When the victim complain
ed he was consoled with a conversation over
the telephone-in which Abner Mckinley
was supposed to be at the other end-as a
result of which he came down with a fur
ther percentage. Stin ne did not get a con-
tract. And when he went down to Wash
ington and inquired at the War Department
he was told that they knew nothing about it.
Now, there are only two deductions pos
sible from this story. either that Abner Nc
Kfnley was selling an influence he did not
possess or else. and more probably that the
assumed go-between was q swindler on his
own account and had nothing to do with
Mckinley In either case 1t is clear that
Abner's influence did not avail and that
as far as these contracts are concerned he
had nothing to do with the War Depart
ment. To construct an implied indictment
of the President upon such grounds as this
strikes US as playing 1t pretty low, even In
yellow politics.

A Spanish "HOrrOr Shin"

When the Spanish transport Montserrat
reached Cadiz from Havana with repatriat-
ed Spanish soldiers, she brought the record
of ninety eight deaths during the passage
and 800 sick on board. None of the .'hor-
ror ships which reached these shores from
Santiago or elsewhere in the Cuban or
Porto Rican country had tithe of this
amount of sickness and death Something
seems to have been the matter with the
Spanish process as well as that of the
Americans. Our people are right in grow
ing indignant il a single life was lost
through the neglect of some one or more
officers or officials In the equipment of the
transports. 1t remains to be seen whether
Spain will be proportionately aroused over
the Monserrat 1t is already suggested
that the blame for the vessels sad record
is to be laid in Spain upon the American
officers who insisted upon the embarka-
ton of dying Spanish soldiers" This
charge is not likely to be substantiated
But, whether 1t is proved or not, 1t will af-
ford Spain one more opportunity to whim-
per about the cruelty of the conQueror.

The IangdOn TraEedy.

The suburban grade crossing Is still eX-
acting its toll of death from the citizens
of the capital Last night two more lives
were taken by a train at Langdon, at
crossing which has frequently been COM
planned of as particularly dangerous. 1t is
hut little more than q year since Judge
Claughton and Miss Custis were killed at
Deanewood. and meanwhile there have been
many additional illustrations Of the need
FOR some form of protection in and around
the city. The Langdon case is especially
distressing in view of the fact that some
months ago the railroad company, at the
urgent insistence of the residents of that
suburb. sent a commission there to inspect
the crossing to find a favorable location
for a gate barrier. Nothing further, how
ever, was ever heard of the matter. and
so the crossing remained unprotected, and
last nights tragedy was the result. A
heavy burden of responsibility rests upon
the officials who have thus neglected the
evident requirements of the case. after
their attention has been pointedly called
TO the matter. There are many of these
crossings in the Immediate neighborhood of
the city where disaster is hourly imminent.
The traffic across the tracks is at times
heavy and the menace is especially grave
when the train users alight at their sta
ti0ns and try to cross the tracks to reach
their destinations.
The Star has frequently called attention
10 the fact that some of the more progress
i've railway corporations of the north have
reduced this evil of suburban grade cross
ings to a minimum. The case of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford road has
been cited SO often that it is doubtless ia
miliar to most citizens of Washington.
Last nights affair warrants a brief repetf-
ton. ON this line for as many as thirty
miles outside of New York the trains have
clear run without once crossing at grade
a street or country road. Walls, banks
or fences prevent access to the tracks at
all points. and 1t is impossible for person
to be struck by train unless death Is de-
liberately invited. This is as 1t should be
i'll and around every large city. The rail-
ways enjoy valuable franchises and are
bound to protect the people from harm.
1t will not do to allege that accidents at
crossings are the result of the victims
carelessness. The tracks should be so
guarded that even careless person will
be safe. The Langdou case illustrates this
point emphatically. The women were walk
Ing to reach the station. The only way to
do SO was across the tracks at grade In
some manner as yet unknown they were
struck by a passing train and killed. Had
the road been properly arranged the vic
tins could not have approached within
dangerous proximity without being aware
OF the approach Of the train. A gate would
have warned them, even though 1t might
not have prevented them from passing
across if they persisted. But In the alb
sence of gate, or bell signal or barriers of
any kind they were helpless

Another Police station E.c.p..

1t is evident from the facts connected
with the escape OF a prisoner from police
station number one the other evening that
immediate and careful attention must be
paid to the interior arrangements of these
houses Of detention. No blame is officially
attached in this instance to the policeman
from whose clutches the man broke away.
He was not speedy enough to overtake
the prisoner. who had taken advantage Of
an opportune moment to dash for the door
while he was being searched. But 1t ia
necessary that some means should be pro-
vided to prevent these escapes. There
should be no "opportune moments" Other
wise the chances of escape by q prisoner
would be largely relative to his fieetness of
foot compared with that OF the policeman
guarding him. The practice of searching
the prisoner in the open room or station
office Is not commendable. At such time

Tammany's Latest Recruit.

Grover Cleveland throws his name into
the New York scale in favor of Tammany
Hall. 1t is entirely fit that he should do
so. His expressed desire Is that the state
be saved from "maladuninistration and ex-
travagance." He knows Theodore Roose-
Welt well. and has given his character and
ability official recognition He knows him
to be an absolutely honest man, truthful,
straightforward, and, to an unusual de-
gree, capable. He likewise knows Tam
many Halls familiar with its past and
its present. and finds IL an easy matter, as
other men do. to compare Theodore Roose-
Welt with Richard Croker. He decides for
Mr.. Croker.
Is this gratitude? One finds it difficult
to believe that. because Mr.. Cleveland is
not man OF sentiment. He Is deeply in
debted to Mr.. Croker. The Tammany boss
has served him well. In 1884 when John
Kelly. an intelligent man, returned from
Chicago thoroughly disguised with his
party's nomination for President and
threatening to let the campaign in New
York go by default, 1t was the plug-ugiy
element of the Hall led by Mr.. Croker

The War Cloud Grows Blacker,


For some days past there has been
seeming incongruity in the warlike prep
arations of England and the willingness of
France to withdraw from Fashoda. Inas-
much as the Fashoda affair was taken in
the beginning as the animating cause of
the mobilization maneuvers in England, it
that England was unnece esSarily persistent
in her bellicose operations in view of the
French attitude of acauiescence. It was
reasonable enough. of course, to suppose
that England preferred the work of making
ready for war until France had actually
withdrawn or had given some substantial
guarantee of her purpose to do so. Perhaps
Frances willingness to get out of Fashoda
was the result of England's warIike front
1t is sometimes difficult to differentiate be-
tween cause and effect in international
dealings
Now comes new suggestion to account
for the English preparations, which is more
vitality interesting. Russia Is said to be the
object of these aggressive movements, not
France Stranger things have happened in
world politics than this shifting of attack.
Ell gland had good excuse for mobiiza-
tion proceedings in the Fashoda dispute,
which would cloak her real designs if she,
in fact, intended to move against the Rus
sian domination of the far east. The trick
Ii 1t were really played may not have de-
ceiyed Russia, and the cable news shows
that the latter has rot been inactive while
the London diplomats have been pointing
out to France her evident duty in the
SUDAN. October 10 a Russian regiment oc-
crpied the town of Niu Chwang and the
fcrts at the mouth of the Liaou, thus s,cur-
ing military command of the outports of
trade of which England has hitherto con-
t1oiled 80 per cent A British gunboat
lying in the river at the time did not i'll
terfere, and the Chinese garrisohs retired
without resistance, acting under orders
from the empress dowager and Ii Hung
Chang. ~.
If this move should be followed by a few
others Of q like character, it is evident that
the "open door, of Chinese trade will soon
be ehectual1y closed. Meanwhile English
warships at Wei-Hai-Wei have cleared for
action, and thus the war-scene is suddenly
shifted from Africa to China with many
more chances of hostilities between the
powers conc armed than would be the case IL
the issue had continued between England
ard France. The attitude of the British
public on the Fashoda affair has evidently
indicated clearly to Lord Salisbury and his
colleagues that little patience will be
shown toward a ministry which permits
any other power to wrest from England
any privilege or prestige which may now
belong to her. The dispute over Marchand
thus has its effect upon the Chinese situa-
ton, and it may eventually prove serious
factor. In view of the understanding be-
tween Russia and France

out the democratic vote sufhctently to per-
init New York to be counted against Mr..
Blaine by narrow margin.
In 1892, when Tammany under Mr.. Crok-
er showed disposition TO be ugly. the
friends of Mr.. Cleveland said, Let Tam
many have the local Offices" And Tam
many got them. The Cleveland men that
year helped to put Tammany back in power.
and Tammany helped to put Mr.. Cleveland
back into the White House. How Tam
many used that Cleveland-given power;
how it assessed doggeries, brOthels,
green goods men. and every other form Of
vice and brand of criminals. the Lexow in
vestigation, held couple of years later,
brought plainly to light.
But MIR. Cleyelands reputation even
among his own admirers will not admit that
gratitude for favors received explains this
boost to Tammany. One must go further
than that. Is it the expectation of "favors
still to come" that induces Mr.. Cleveland
at this time to give his hand publicly to
Richard Croker and cast a slur upon Theo-
dore Roosevelt? There are, despite Tam
many assertions to the contrary, national
issues involved in the New York campaign.
and one of them is national expansion.
Theodore Roosevelt stands for that. He
favors keeping the flag up where it now is
flying. Mr.. Cleveland stands for the other
thing. He would if he could return Ha-
wall to the gang from whom 1t was
snatched In the interests of civilization;
Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippines to
Spain, and recall Weyler to Cuba to COM
plete the work Mr.. Cleveland SO long toll
