As Well Ss the Safest and Cheapest
 The new medical discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food in stead of making the Worn-out stomach do all the work, give 1t much needed rest, and cure of dyspepsia is the natural result.
 You get nourishment and rest at the same time because these tablets will thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken into the stomach whether the stomach works or not. A cure is cer- tain to result because the digestive organs are given chance to rest and recover their natural vigor and tone. The Tablets are then no longer re- quired
 To show the manner in which the remedy acts on different people and how quickly and effectually 1t cures stomach troubles we present a few re- cent cases.

CALLS IT A HOLY WAR.


President Capen Says IL IL Case OF In
transitional Self Denial.
In lecture before the students the
other night President Capen Of Tufts
college said, speaking Of the war with
Spain:
"It seems to mo the most holy war
since the foundation OF the world, not
for effect. not for glory, not fer domin-
ion, but to put an end to the suffering
Of humanity. If ever there was case Of
heroic international self denial, we have
1t before us.
"As TO results. we are likely to get In
its highest form the unifioation Of our
republic. In fact, this has been accom-
plished. Today tho nation is united.
We are getting the development Of our
national consciousness as we never had
it before. We are also experiencing =
deepening sense of national responsible.

him as If had found 1000.
"Say, let me tell what he was like.
He was feet and black headed. He
was as steady as clock and as cool as

1869, 1870, 1871 and 1872. and was

ONCE FINED DEWEY $25.

A Docket That Shows How the Commo-
dore Once Thrashed . Marine.
George Plaisted, trial justice Of
York county, Me-, has docket which
shows that Commodore Dewey was once
fined $25 by him and that the fine was
promptly paid. 1t came about in this
way:
Commodore Dewey, who married q
daughter of former Governor Goodwin,
was frequently at Portsmouth, Me-. and
one day, going over to the navy yard,
was met outside by q marine who was
in an ugly mood and who INDUCED in
back talk. At last Dewey's fighting
blood was up, and, discarding his rank
with his coat, he sailed in and gave the
man q thrashing.
Justice Plaisted heard the complaint,
found Dewey guilty of assault and fined
him $25. The fine was cheerfully paid,
Commodore Dewey remarking that it
was worth $25 to have the pleasure of
thrashing such disgrace to the United
States service. New York Journal.

expenditure of nearly $4,000, 900. The
estimate for subsistence is 20 cents per

A NEST OF MINES.

Captain King, . Diver, Says Havana Har-
bor IL FILLED with Them.
Captain King, a diver Of much expe-
rience, has arrived at Duluth. He says
he was employed for three months last
summer laying mines in Havana har-
Dor for the Spanish. He is thoroughly
familiar with the harbor and its
strength, but he signed articles binding
himself to secrecy as to the location Of
the mines and will not say much about
them except that the harbor is sprinkled
with them. Anywhere within the five
mile limit of the shore from the mouth
of the channel into the remotest part is
covered with these mines, he says.
Some are filled with dynamite and some
with gun cotton, and all are exploded
by an electric shock from the shore.
Captain King says:
''It is not going to be an easy thing
to take Havana. It may take two years.
The bay is fortified for many miles.
The harbcr is wide, but the entrance
is narrow and strongly fortified. 1t is
true many of the guns are old, but they
have some fine ones, too, Of the Krupp
make, and they will not be easily ST.
fenced. I think long siege will be
necessary to take the city. While pre-
venting supplies from being taken in
the forts will have to be battered down
one after the other. This done, boats
can be sent in with divers to cut the
mines. know little or nothing Of the
approaches from the land side. but il is
generally believed in Havana that the
mountain passes through which entrance
must be made are all heavily mined"
