In this instance we are glad, that
the military autocracy struck a
snag, which will not be settled by a
money compensation simply, but

who leased the lands from Mr.. j. A.
Cummins and had started an exten-

and the trespass and injury to the

Barber's men are of great moment
to the poor industrious people. The

Consul, and their attorney, Mr..
Creighton, will take criminal and
civil steps to protect the inter-

A HOME FOR
SPANISH TROOPS
Transportation Offered Them to Mexico
If They Will Emigrate There, and
Additional Small Houses, Tools, etc,
With Which to Work.

New YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to
the Press from Washington says:
The Mexican government has sub
mitted a colonization project to the
Spanish authorities in Havana, by
which it proposes not only to aid the
Spanish government, but to give great
assistance as we'll to the Spanish soldiers
who have served in Cuban welfare and
are soon to evacuate Cuba.
The proposition OF the Mexican gov
ernment is to organize bands among the
Spanish soldiers and provide them with
free passage to Mexico, where necessary
tools, seeds and implements for agricul-
tural work will be furnished, and in ad-
dition oxen and small houses will be
given to the immigrants and a certain

A TERRIBLE
MINE EXPLO OSION
Kills Five and EntOmbs Twenty-Tree
Men, Near ShOteau, l. T.

SHoTEAU, I. T., Dec. ia few min
utes before 9 O'Clock last night in mine
No. 2, of the Indisnola & Railway Coal
Company, three miles from this place, a
terrific explosion took place. Five men
are known to have lost their lives from
its immediate effects, and twenty-three
more are imprisoned in the shaft.
The explosion was caused by the ;gni-
tion of of coal dust after a blast had been
fired. Over one hundred men were at
work in the mine at the time of the ex-
plosion, and only about half of these
have been accounted for. There seems
to be little hope of reecuing the en-
tombed miners. a hundred men are

tract of the public lands in Mexico will
be provided tor colonization purposes.
The government, in turn, is to take
lien upon the products, and exact a
return of 20 per cent each year until the
supplies are paid for by the coloniste,
after which the land will become their
own.
For those who do not care to accept
this proposition, arrangements have
been made by the government of Mexico
to supply large number of Spanish
soldiers with labor on the public works
and in the mines, at the rate of SIS per
month.
The Spanish authorities in general are
in favor of the proposition, for the ex-
pense of Transportation is thus saved, as
well as the necessity of caring in some
manner for the soldiers on their return
to their native country. 1t is also con-
tended that besides doing generous act
the Mexican government will itself be
benefited, as its population will be in
creased by persons of the same race
largely, and large sections of the public
lands will be utilized by substantial
agricultural class.

Indigestion or dyspepsia.

indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the frat process
of decay poisoning the blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles ::
poisoning the brain causing headaches
and pain in the eyes.
Bad Indigestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation end finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
week digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids dactic
and hydrochloric) and peptogonic pro-
ducts; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion is to take after each
meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply in a
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach

They increase flesh, insure pure blood

Delaware and Massachusetts Farming.

II. nj. Cooper, accompanied bv John
Jefferson, returned last week from }
visit to his son Watson, who has
been for several years professo1
at "llOraham Academy, Mass. Among
othes things the visit afforded
an opportuninity to compare the
alnerence between Delaware and
massachusetts farming, as he found
IL about Wilbraham. In many
!hlngs Delaware was ahead, but
III others Massachusetts,. This was
especially so in dairy farming. A
sward OF green grass is indigenous To
the soil, and besides the necessary Till.
ing OF grain and vegetables for family
use, the farmers give their attent;o3
mostly to cattle raising.
MIR. Cooper's greatest surprise how.
ever, was to find that they beat ms in
the matter of peaches, a Speciality so
considered of this Peninsula their
success being in the hillv section the
trees In the rich valley grounds going
out out almost directly by the veilows,
Inc stony hill sides produce very fine
peaches. On one of these farms visi-
Ied' Mr.. Cooper found the trees set 10
Dy 10 feet-about 25S per acre. The
yleld OF peaches this year was 500 bas-
i, Hets per acre, which netted him IN the
oprlntield market 81. 90 per basket. OF
course the peach grower was satisfied
with his years product. The apple is
trult generally relied on, adapted to
the valleys, but very imperfect this
year because of the insect, the apples
there being almost as knotty as at
home.

The complaints of certain persons
and papers against the conduct of the
war in bad treatment and starving of
the soldiers, has made no headway in
sustaining these charges. Major Gen
eral Wheeler, Fitzhugh Lee, General
Green, General Shaiter, and many
others have been examined before the
War Investigating Committee, and
while each one admitted the possibility
OF individual cases of suffering and dis
comfort, all said that in the vast ma
lority of cases complaints were exag-
gerated, if not without foundation.
They agreed in saying that no army
was ever so abundantly and luxuriously
supplied as was the American army in
the Spanish war.
They did miracles in the way of pro-
viding for the comfort of the troops, in
providing them with wholesome food
and the best medical treatment, and
impressions which we may hPve enter
tanned to the contrary were simply the
results of the nightmare from which
the country has just been aroused. 1t
is true, according to the War Depart
ment own statement, that we lost g.
01O men in the war with Spain, of
whom less than 300 were killed in bat
tie or died from their wounds. The
remaining 1850 passed out of exis-
tence in camps which were perfect
models of their kind and amid sur
roundings which were absolutely be-
yond criticism.

Institute to be Held in Smyrna.

Many OF our citizens will be glad to
know that the Kent County Teachers
Institute will be held at Smyrna this
year. Professor G. G. Tindal, super
lntendent of the schools, gives us au-
thorlty to state that he will hold it in
Smyrna on November the Both and
December the 1st and 2nd.
He says that it is no stereotyped
phrase of his to make claims every wear
that ''the institute held is the best" j."
But he does express with emphasis,
that the one which he will bring to
Smyrna on the above dates, is the
strongest he has yet had. Great care
has been taken in the choice of instruc-
tors. The very name of NJ. G. Brum-
baugh of the University of Pennsyl-
vanla Will strike responsive chord in
the hearts of many, who remember him
last year with so much pleasure. He
needs no introduction to our people
and will doubtless draw immense
crowds. Professor Tindal has secured
the services of another man this year.
who bears the same reputation in Ohio
as Brumbaugh does in Pennsylvania
Institutes. He is recommended as
being just as bright and witty and an
Instructor of the first rank. Supt.
Q. I. Corson, of Ohio, after much diff
ticulty, was secured as one of the dav
instructors. In addition to the above
Supt. Geo. l. Aldrich, of Massachu-
setts, and Prof. Austin Appear, of the
Trenton State Normal School, and
several other well-known instructors
will be present on that occasion.
In arranging entertainments for the
night, Professor Tindal feels that he
can give Smyrna one of the finest
treats, if not the finest, ever given in
town. Note who will be here: Wal
lace Bruce, the noted humorist lectur-
er; Will Carleton, whose reputation as
a lecturer of the first rank is popularly
known throughout the States; and the
Boston Lovett Stars, one of the finest
musical troops of the bureau.
Our citizens may expect to be well
entertained. The Institute is brought
here at greater expense than the one
last year. Begin to make your plans
Tor that date and make up your minds
that you will give Supt. Tindal your
hearty support, and in return he will
give you an intellectual treat that is
rarely the privilege of Smyrna to have.

THE politics of Pennsylvania is al
ways interesting to Delawareans, and
particularly so this year with the great
'Boss", Quay, in the tolls of the law.
The Philadelphia Times draws a dis
NAL picture of the machine rule in
Pennsylvania in both the old parties.
1t declares, "'The Republicans" who
are in revolt against the Quay machine,
have even less respect for the Guffy-
Garman machine, and says:
CDR. Swallow is strong, and daily
growing stronger, as a candidate for
Governor very largely because both of
the old party candidates and their
leaders are weak, and steadily grow
ing weaker. Dissatisfaction is rife
among both the Republicans and the
Democrats, and the dissatisfied Demo
crat sees nothing in the Republican
party that is better than his own,
while the dissatisfied Republican sees
nothing in the Democratic party that
promises improvement on Republican
rule. They must, therefore, choose
between giving unwilling votes for
their party candidates and their dis
trusted leadership, or they must
abstain from voting, or they must vote
for DR. Swallow, who is not only hon
est in purpose and action, but who has
no debauched leadership behind him
to serve him from the right"

The 'Misticus Anxious" will be is

once month for the nine months of
the school year, and a subscription
price OF 90 cents charged. 1t is the
nope OF the business managers to put
1t on paying basis. What the sub
scrlptlon price will not make is ex-
pected to be fully made up by the
revenue from the advertising depart
ment. There will be four pages
wholly devoted to advertisements and
the management will solicit the coop
Grafton of the business men of this
town to help them make it a success.
1t is hoped that the journal will yield
net income over and above expenses,
which can go toward fitting up some
departments of the school. SO when
you take out a subscription or insert
an advertisement, you are not only
encouraging the young people in a
literary way, but you are helping to
contribute toward equipping some de-
partment of the school.
The paper will be wholly devoted to
school interests. Original articles.
editorials, &c, will be contributed
every month, and by the election above
indicated it will be seen that each class
of the High School will have q special
interest in the matter published. The
locals will be made bright and inter- |
esting, and the alumni of the school
will have share in its news columns |
The journal will contain twenty or |
more pages, neatly gotten mp, and |
issued from the press of the SMYRNA |
TINES the last Friday in each month |
An effort will be made to EXCHANGE
it with other High School or ColleSe
publications. If it can be made a sncs

ment OF the school work and parents
should encourage their children hS

support they can. The October nnn
