A DENVER Republican special says,
the house committee on Territories
held a meeting on Wednesday last, and
discussed the bill of the New Mexico
legislature, requiring insurance com.
panies to deposit $40. 900 in money or
collateral before the company can do
business within this Territory. No
action was taken, but there seems to
be an impression that the committee
will favorably report the bill annulling
this act. The pressure brought by
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts
and other eastern states for the annul-
ment of this act is very great since
many Insurance companies are located
in the east. There is no danger of the
annulmcnt being declared, however,
because the senate is unalterably op.
posed to the legislation and in favor Of
allowing New Mexico to regulate its
own affairs. Mr.. Fergu: son thinks
that the bill will never pass, even if it
is reported from the Territorial CON-
mittee.

oArARRH or THE sToMAOH.


Catarrb OF the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are q full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or wAtery-
risiogs, a formation OF gases, causing
pressure on tho heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle
appetite, and q general
played out, languid feeling.
There Is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and il the
interior OF the stomach could be seen II
would show a shiny, imflamed condi.
lion.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stlnate trouble Is found In a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
throughly digested before it has a time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy d.
gestion is the n necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastate,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden
Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can be found at all
drug stores under the name OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a
patent medicine, can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after
meals.

While January has given certain

liza has been much worse. VI course,
it is hummer down there and an ex-
cessively warm summer at that. Re-
ports Just received In this country tell
OF temperature Of ITO and l24 degrees
in the shade. This would not be re-
markable on the alkali plains OF New
Mexico or Arizona, but in the humid
atmosphere OF an arabic region 1t is
calculated to makethe flesh melt and
the spirit weary. Along with the
heat there has been destructive tor
nadoes.
Considering that sort OF weather for
Australia, tho kind the United States
has been having, and such as Ia re-
ported from other parts Of the world.
it is q fair question whether the unusual
sun spots have not something to do
with it. This theory prevailed In
scientific circles for q time, bat more
recently there has been a tendency to
discard it for something new. With
electrical devices OF sufficient sensitive
ness for telegraphy without wires 1t
ought to be possible to determine
whether the cyclonic storms on the
sun have any influence that might
create torrid and tornado conditions
on the earrh.
The fact that the sun spots and alb
normal mundane meteorciogy are not
precisely coexistent is not necessarily
a bar to their connection. Recent ex'
periments have demonstrated that the
electric spark may be passed through q
mechanical vacuum, somewhat re-
sembling that of stellar space, and have
made 1t possible to measur the speed
of electrical energy-of varying inten-
sity-travcling in such a rarlfied
medium. These should assist ia making
approximate calculations. OF course,
no amount OF knowledge of the subject
will enable man to prevent the abnor-
NAL conditions, but precise information
concerning the phenomena would be
some comfort to him ia his sufferlngs.
