AMAZONS WILL FIGHT.
Nebraska Women Form a Company
and Intend to Lesso the Span

Chadron, Neb., April 22-In event of
war with Spain the same soldiers who
have been preying upon the women of
Cuba may be brought to face avengers
of the abused sex in a company of Wo-
men fighters which will be organized
in this city this week. The company
will be led by Miss Grille Adams,
sturdy frontier woman of this city, who
has spent the major portion of the last
ten years in the saddle and is noted as
one of the finest shots in the country.
The company will be drilled nightly for
the next two weeks. The broncoS to

late war and is handsome and educat-
ed Miss of Is. She is at present teach

WHERE'S. THEOREGON
Solicitude for the Plans
for Merchantmen.

Washington, April 22.-Nava1 officers
refuse most positively to say whether
they intend to force an issue by sending
supplies to the reconcentrados in Cuba
on merchant ship conveyed bya man
of-war.
1t is known that this plan has been
under consideration but a suggestion
has been made that the Spaniards
might avoid the issue entirely by per-
hitting the merchant ship to land the
stores without molestation and then
right afterwards seize the stores for
their own use.
Particular reticence is observed re-
garding the movements of the battle
ship Oregon and the gunboat Marietta
now on their way around the Horn to
join the war fleets in the Gulf of Mexi-
co. The Oregon sailed from Callao on
April 8, since which time nothing has
been heard from her. 1t is believed
she passed Valparaiso and is now
nearing the port of MonteVideo, Uru-
quay. A formidable Spanish torpedo
boat is supposed to be somewhere in
that vicinity awaiting the arrival of the
big battleship and some fear is eX-
pressed that she may creep upon her
unawares and consequently consider

CANADA TO BENEFIT.
dow the War Will Help Her Trade
Americans May Be Forced to
Travel Through Her Ports.

Montreal, April 22-The idea that
Canadla would benefit commercially by
her ne1ghbors engaging in a quarrel
over Cuba is pretty widespread. One
OF the strongest indications of the truth
or this was furnished by the proceed

relative to the availability of Montreal
as an ocean port for Danish shipping
In the event of war breaking out
All the Montreal transatlantic compa-
mes report an increase in inquiries for
information about the Canadian routes.
George Mannah, passenger agent of the
Allan line, said: 1.-The purport of in
Qu1r1es from the United States has been
much larger than formerly, and it looks
as II we might do the larger portion of
the carrying of passengers from that
country to Europe" The Dominion
and Beaver lines gave similar reports
the latter reporting an increase in the
bookings of American Travellers
steamship men did not regard a block
ade OF New York as possible, but the
extra insurance charged on freight by
that route would give Montreal an ad-
vantage. This, it was said would be
more than sufficient to make it profit
able to pay the extra freight on goods
from New York to Montreal. The rail-
way companies are alive to the posi-
bilities of the situation The Grand
Trunk and Canadian Pacific are making
efforts to meet any increase in trade
with Chicago for export via Montreal
A Grand Trunk official said that war
would divert business to the road.

WOODFORD GOES.
q. S. Minister to Spain Needed
No Second Hint
But Left Madrid Promptly by
/ First Train.
THE ENGLISH FLAG
Now Flies Over the American
Legation.
Crowd Cheers For Spain When
the Minister Starts.

Madrid, April 22.-The United States
minister, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford,
left Madrid yesterday afternoon.
Gen. Woodford was accompanied by
his acting private secretary and two
servants.
Gen. Woodford arrived at the station
about quarter of an hour in advance
Of the hour at which the train was
scheduled to leave. The train started
half an hour late, and during the inter-
val Mr.. Woodford conversed with the
Representatives of the foreign press and
a number of friends.
An immense crowd gathered at the
station, composed of all classes. A
strong force of police and civic guards
maintained order, while amid the crowd
moved a large number of private de-
tectives.
A detachment of civil guards, accom-
panied Gen. Woodford to the front car.
The retiring minister maintained his
usual GOODNESS, but looked worn and ia
tigued.
When the crowd was thickest about
him, Gen. Woodford forced his way
through, and, approaching Col. Moret,
the chief of police, shook hands with
him cordially, thanking him for his kind
ness and zeal in guarding the United
States legation and his General Wood
ford'S) residence for so many months.
When Gen. Woodford took his seat in
the train there was a stir among the
spectators and a rush toward the win
dow of the carriage. The minister sat
dignified. Senior Anguelo, the civil gov
ernor of Madrid, his gigantic figure ris-
ing head and shoulders above the
crowds, in a stentorian voice raised a
cheer, which was thrice responded to by
the crowd.
Viva Espana," resounded throughout
the station until the train was fairly
outside This was not meant as a kind
ly farewell, but was an explosion Of
long pent up feelings.
The English flag is now flying over
the American legation, which is still
guarded by the police.
The queen regent presided in the aft
ernoon at the cabinet council. Senior
parture of Polo Bernabe from Wash
ington and that the United States min
lister, Gen. Woodford, had been inform
ed that it would be useless to present
any note.
The British ambassador, Sir Henry
Drummond Wolff, called upon Senior
Gullon, the foreign minister, and in
formed him that the affairs of the
American legation were in his, (the am
bassadors) hands.
In the Spanish senate, Marshal Mar
tinez de Campos asked Minister of For
eign Affairs Gullon, to make a state
rnent regarding the relations between
Spain and the United States, whereupon
the foreign minister replied that all re-
lations were broken. The former cap
tain general of Cuba then made pat
riotic speech in which he declared that
Cuba will never lose her Spanish SOW
ereignty.

the United States and Spain.
There is a bitter feeling here against
Great Britain, especially on the contra
band of war and privateer questions.
1t is the belief of the general public that

States.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Tomorrow night Clay Clements will
be seen for the second time this season
at the Crawford theater in this city in
his own production, 1.-The New Domin-
ion.'' The love of a German gentleman
for a daughter of the south is the basis
of the play, and about it Mr.. Clement
has built up a pretty story in which the
personality of the German baron is the
all important feature. Mr.. Clements
portrayal of this part is excellent, and
he is given uniformly good support by
his company. Special scenery is car
ried and finished performance in every
particular is given.
A week of attractions at popular
prices will be inaugurated at the Craw-
ford theater next Monday evening by
the Sharpley Lyceum Theater compa-

G. TRAVELLING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard
ing the Care of Health While
Travelling.

Mr.. r. W. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose bust
ness keeps him almost entirely on the
road, relates in the Sunday News the
dangers to health resulting from con-
slant change of residence and the way
he overcame the usual injurious eff
feets.
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food; the stomach
never has an opportunity to become ac-
custened to anything, and in a few
years or much sooner the average trav-
cling man becomes a hopeless dyspep-
tic.
For several years I suffered more or
less. from Indigestion, sour stomachs,
headaches, distaste for food, often no
appetite, gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion.
r Nearly every travelling man has his
favorite remedy for different troubles,
and tried all of them with Indifferent
results Finally on the train between
P1ttsburg and Philadelphia one day, 1
overheard a conversation between two
ladies, one of whom had suffered Sc
verely from indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by a remedy
which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets; 1 remembered the conversation
because it directly interested me; and
at the next town inquired at the first
drug store and bought package for so
have never been without them. They
are pleasant tasting tablets, not a Sc
cret patent medicine, but composed of
vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fruit
salts and Golden Seal; being in tablet
form they never lose their good quail
ties like a liquid medicine would but
are always fresh and ready for use.
l carry box in my pocket continual
ly, and whenever 1 see any symptoms
of indigestion take one, also one after
each meal, and for a year and a half
I have not lost a day by reason of poor
health and can eat anything and relish
what 1 eat; my digestion is absolutely
perfect as far as can judge from my
feelings, and although there may be
other stomach medicines just as good
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 do not
know what they are. Certainly for peo-
pie who travel they are far ahead of
any liquid medicine, as they are con-
venient, they can be carried in the pock-
ct and used whenever needed.
I believe they are sold by all drug
gists at so cents, and believe anyone
who will try them will agree with me,
that for indigestion and stomach trou-
BILE Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are I'M
eQualed.
