HOUSE RADICAL IN TONE
DAY DEVOTED TO DEBATE ON
THE NAVAL BILL

All An:i-Spanish Sentiments Cheered
to the Echo by the Crowded Gal
leries-Frequent References to
Disaster in Havana Earbor-By
Re Taken Early This Afternoon.
WASHINGTON, March 24-The ma
val appropriation bill was taken up in
the house today. and. after consider
able difficulty, an arrangement was
made to close general debate at 1
o'clock tomorrow.
There was great pressure for time,
but the leaders desired to limit as far
as possible the opportunity for inf1am-
matory utterances. The debate today
was not on sensational lines, but every
radical expression was cheered to the
echo by the crowded galleries. The
speeches of Messrs Dayton CIV. Va)
and Arnold Pa.), both Of whom took
advanced positions in favor Of agrees
stve action to stop the war in Cuba,
aroused intense enthusiasm. Messrs.
Boutelle and Meyers confined their re-
marks closely to the bill and the eX-
traordinary emergency which neceSsi-
tated the large increases it carried
AS soon as the journal was read, on
motion OF Mr.. Boutelle, chairman Of the
naval committee. the house went into
committee Of the whole (Mr. Sherman
Republican, from New York, In the
chair) for the consideration of the
naval bill.
Mr. Boutelle attempted to arrange q
time for closing general debate. He
suggested o'clock. but there
was chorus of protests. whereupon
he moved that the committee rise for
the purpose Of fixing the time at which
the debate should close.
The motion was holly contested. but

Of Fischer except that he says he comes
from Chicago and has $500 to back himself
against any wrestler the city can produce.
The articles signed yesterday call for a An
ish match under Lancashire rules. Each man
is to weigh in at 1873 pounds or less four hours
before the match or forfeit the 800 posted
as side bet.
Fischer is apparently much larger man
than Dryer. but says he only weighs 16l
pounds at present. and can easily get down to
the required weight. He is taller than Dwyer
and more rangy. but the local man says he
is not afraid of any man of his weight. and
TIE match Will undoubtedly prove interest
ing.
Farmer Burns. the champion heavy
weight wrestler. was in st. Paul yesterday On
his way to Chicago from Spokane. where he
recently won a wrestling tournament. Burns
spent part of the day with Fischer. which
fact is believed to indicate that the new
rival IS of more less renown in the wrest-
ling arena. Burns says he has wrestled with
Fischer but mentioned nothing about the re-
suit OF the match.
Fischer says he has been wrestling for
about fifteen years. having begun his career
at Graeco Roman style in Germany when he
was but youth. He says he has met many
wrest,ers in this country. and has won a
number of matches and lost Others this be
ing the only line he gives on his ability.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
IndineStiOn

The national disease Of Americans is
Indigestion or in it's chronic form,
dyspepsia, and for the very reason that
it is SO common many people neglect
taking proper treatment fer what they
consider triling stomach trouble, when
as a matter of fact, Indigestion LAYS
the foundation for many incurable dis
eases. No person with a vigorous.
healthy stomach will fail a victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor dieestion thin, nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stom-
acbs are out of gear; weary. languid,
faded out women owe their condition
to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
IS afflicted with weak digestion it is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
TO be a cure for dyspepsia, as well as a
score of other troubles. when in fact.
as DR.. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover,
this remedy is not a patent medicine
but it is a scientific combination of pure
pepsin free from animal NATTER, veg
etable essences, fruit salts and b.smuth
1t is sold by druggists under name of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. No eX-
travagant claims are made for them
but for indigestion or any stomach
trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
far ahead of any remedy yet discover
ed. They act on the food eaten, no
dieting is necessary, simply eat all the
wholesome food you want and these
tablets will digest it. A cure results
because all the stomach needs is a
rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
give by doing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at scots
per package. Little book on stomach

 At first there would be no response. Then he would take from his pocket one of the borrowed twenties, unWrap a piece of the soap, enclose 1t in the money. rewrap 1t and throw 1t into the satchel Sometimes he would repeat this several times, at last inviting the spectators to pick out the pieces they thought contained the bills. Of course there was no difficulty in doing this. Then cupidity would be aroused, and at the point where buyers were tum- bling over each other to get to the satchel. the trick came in.
 It's an old trick, but nobody ever did it so well as Soapy. The packages which should have had the money simply didn't have it. Nobody ever captured a single piece of money. and vet the crowd would not stop trying as long as the soap lasted. By this time Soapy would have enough to keep him amused at faro for a night.
 But this scheme seemed to him petty, and as a rule he held himself above 1t. He much preferred quicker returns. It was more to his taste to work rus tic for purse of money. He started q gambling rooms with every robbing device known to the craft. The games appeared as fair as other games, but

They ascertained that the boast was well founded, and they kept hold of the miner. When they had him workably drunk they accused him of lying. de- claring a disbelief in the allegation that he had a cent on deposit The miner becoming indignant offered to bet that his word and his paper were good So a wager was made and the stakes together with check for $5000 placed in the safe The miner kept on drinking until he had reached the stage of being paralyzed, when he was tucked in bed. The sun was high in the heavens before he awoke, but it had not been very high before Soapy or some of his pals were at the bank. The first check presented was the one for $5000 and it was promptly cashed. When the miner awoke he was indignant, but he gained nothing by this beyond a compromise. Soapy and the gang divided the booty.
 But this man Soapy was known to be generous. He would give money to a beggar and delighted to shower it upon friends. One time he met a news paper man on the streets of Denver The journalist in his pursuit of his calling had frequent occasion to call the confidence man a thief, but Soapy viewed this in a strictly professional light and never manifested the slight est hard feeling.

He was continually on the lookout lest one of his numerous dupes might be in- clined to take a shot at him. But he had all the honor of the gambler, a strange quality hard to define. A thief by instinct and training, his I O U was good for it's face. If he borrowed $100, saying he would pay it at Il o'clock next day, at the hour he would be at the appointed spot with the money, even if he had to rob somebody to obtain it. In fact, from the time Soapy reached the years of manhood there is no probability that he ever earned honestly so much as a cent.
 Pictures of Smith show that at the time of his death he wore a beard. When the star bunko artist of Denver he had only a mustache and the face revealed had every appearance of frankness. This first impression was heightened by the smoothness of his tongue. Nobody ever accused Soapy of being coward. He had shot and been shot at many times before a bull let reached the proper spot. He did not hesitate to face heavy odds, and with unriffied mein, he took a gamblers chances. Anybody who had known him could easily imagine him as riding against the throng gathered to rebuke him and his kind, and if he knew the
