CoNvERGING AT FRISCO.
The First Troops for the Philippines
 May Sail Tomorrow.

San Francisco, May 2o.-The Ne braaka volunteers who were delayed at Reno by a railroad accident at Boca yesterday arrived here this afternoon and were given the same cordial re- ception that greeted their predecessors who arrivd last night Troops from many sections of the country are due here tonight. A special train bearing 17o men and officers is due from Min uesofa. Two divisions from Kansas numbering about 675 men will arrive about Il o'clock, and 25e men rom Colorado will arrive later In the night.
 General Otis. who Is to command ths first Manila expedition, has not been officially informed when he Is to start, but thinks he will get away on the City of Peking on Sunday. Every thing is in readiness for the recep- ton of the men on board the steamer and provisions arc being slowed as rapidly as possible. Rations to last 1,400 men for six months will be taken, besides arms and ammunition and machinery for the repair of Ad- miral Dewey's feet
 The steamer Australia has been coaled and the work of arranging quarters for troops is about con- pleted- The only thing that delays the departure of the vessel is the non- arrival of the government stores, and the troops could be comfortably in- stalled in a few hours if hurry orders were issued, but they have not beer issued The same dilatory tactics art pursued in the case of the City of Syd- ney, which is lying at her dock ready to receive both troops and supplies.

FOR A GREATER CHICAGO.
Movement for the Annexation of
Several Towns.

Movement for the Annexation of
Several Towns.
Chicago, Sept 1.-THE city council has
started a movement for Greater Chicago
by the passage of resolution calling for
constitutional convention. The present
government of the city cannot be chang
ed unless authorized by the legislature,
and the power of that body is limited by
the present law of the State so that moth
ing can be done unless the constitution be
changed. 1t is planned to make the towns
OF Evanston, Cicero and Proviso part of
Chicago, and then incorporate the re-
manning twenty-three towns of Cook
County into the adjoining counties of
Kane Lake and McHenry.
This would increase Chicago's popula-
ton about 100000. The plan, also con-
templates the limitation Of Cook County
to the limits of the Greater Chicago thus
formed, and the doing away with the diff
ferent township organiza tons in the city.
Chicago is now governed under law
framed for towns and villages which does
not meet the needs of the municipality.
AS the various towns have been annexed
to the city they have retained their town.
ship organization, until at present there
are seven distinct township governments
in the city, each authorized to levy taxes.
The new plan would work reform, in
that it would abolish these different gov
ernments and put them all under one
management.

A SAN FRANCISCO MYSTERY.
Head of a Woman Seen Floating I'm
the Ray.


San Francisco, Sept. 4.-The discovery
of human arm floating in Lake Merritt,
in the vicinity of Oakland, and the pre-
vious sighting of woman's head in San
Francisco Bay, near East Berkeley, may
result in the uncovering of some foul
crime.
Physicians do not agree as to whether
the arm is that of a woman or man. If
il is that of a woman, she was evidently
a working woman as the hand is large
and calloused. If it is that of man, it
would seem that If crime was commit
ted there were two victims instead of one.
The arm was the left forearm and had
been cut from the body by some one moro
or less acquainted with surgery. The
dead person was not drowned, to judge
from the dismemberment of the body and
the post mortem use of the knife on the
recovered arm.
Two Coburn boys saw the head floating
in the bay. The only description they can
give Of the grewsome object Is that the
face was white and the hair was long and
black 1t appeared 10 have been severed
quite low, as several inches of backbone
was visible where the flesh had been cut
As IL rose and fell on the outgoing tide
the boys say, II turned over and over, so
that they were able 10 view IL on all SIDES
The boys have told their story several
times without any variation from the first
recital.
Medical students state that while II is
sometimes customary to get rid of cer-
tain parts of dissecting room subjects by
casting them into the bay, it is rare for
any one to dispose of a head or skull in
that manner. A woman's head would not
be thrown into the bay. The closest watch
is being kept for the temperance of the
head along the shore.

A strict censorship was Immediately i'm

The fever appeared first in the Nine

On guard at the city Jail, where many
malefactors are confined.
Private Minor, of Company E, who
had been placed in the general fever
ward of the main hospital died on Fri

cause Of death was yellow fever beyond
doubt. 'f ~
An Illinois private, whose name is not
given, died in the convalescent camp on

the case was virulent typhoid fever. but

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanent.
Iy Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
New Discovery, But Not a Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discov-
cry, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: THE patient was a man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate SEEM
ed to sour and create acid and gases in
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back, shoulder blades, and
limbs, fullness and distress after eating,
poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart
became affected, causing palpitation and
sleeplessness at night.
81 gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS an
experiment 1 finally bought 50-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
drug store and gave them to him. AL
most immediate relief was given and af-
ter he had used four boxes he was to all
appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour wa
terry risings, no bloating after meals, the
appetite was vigorous, and he has gained
between ten and twelve pounds In weight
of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores yet
/ consider them most valuable addition
TO any physicians line of remedies, as
they are perfectly harmless and can be
given to children or invalids or in any
condition of the stomach with perfect
safety, being harmless and containing
nothing but vegetable and fruit essences,
pure pepsin and Golden Seal
without any question they are the
safest. most effective cure for indiges-
ton. biliousness, constipation, and all de-
rangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the Stuart Co, of Marshall, Mich, and
sold by druggists everywhere at 80 cents
per package.
