The Excitement i'm Watertown.

Great interest has been manifested
here the past week in the state of af-
fairs existing between our country
and Spain, and the bulletins of war
news received and posted by The
Daily Times have been eagerly sought.
When the first grave realization of
war was at hand Saturday, the sterling
American patriotism of our people
cropped out and the stars and stripes
were liberally exposed to the breeze.
In the evening large crowds gathered
on the postoffice corner, the Sinnissippi
band played inspiring music, several
volleys were fired from guns and
number Of cannon crackers were ex-
ploded The scene reminded the older
residents of the stirring times thirty
seven years ago.
Saturday morning Lieutenant-Col-
onel Albert Solliday, of the Second
regiment, and Captain f. G. Moulding,
first assistant surgeon of the same
regiment, were ordered by Adjutant-
General Boardman to pack up and
hold themselves in readiness to join
their command at moments notice.
The gentlemen complied with the re-
quest, arranged their business and
private affairs, and were ready to
respond to their country's call in the
afternoon. Thus far the final orders
have not been received, but they may
come at any moment. The Second
regiment is expected to rendezvous at
Fond du Lac.
During Saturday night some patri-
otic wags rugged up row-boat after
the style of a United States man-of-
war and anchored it in the river near
the Hartig brewery, where, with ''Old
Glory waving proudly above it, it
majestically swayed on the waves and
greeted the eye of passers-by on Sun
day. The craft was armed with a
small cannon. 1t is reported that the
boat belongs to Andrew ROegner, and
that it was loaned from repair shop.
While at Ripon last week Colonel
Solliday purchased a fine saddle horse
for use when called to the front.
Captain Moulding made a like pur-

John Lueders, bandmaster of the
First regiment band at Madison, mas
written here to ascertain if volunteer
musicians can be enlisted in case he
forms a band for the war. VIII Sergel
and other members of the Sinnissippi
band have expressed their willingness
to join such an organization.
The Daily Times continues to fur
nish the most important war news
each day, and in order to encourage
this desirable undertaking and assist
in defraying the expense, which is no
small item, collection is being taken
among the business men. This is as
it should be.

Split Among County Seat Democrats.

The merry war between the gold
and the silver Democratic factions at
jefferson seems to continue. This
spring A. r. Bechaud, leader of the
silverites, was, elected mayor. He sub
sequently had the appointment of a
member of the school board in place
OF James Lytle, a staunch and prom
inent goldite, and our former towns
man, Albert Goerz, editor of The
Journal and The Record, uncom-
promising silver organs, was named
for the position. The Banner evidently
is not pleased with the selection and
comments as follows:
''We are surprised that Mayor
Bechaud should have appointed a man
on the school board to succeed James
Lytle, who has been resident of this
city for only a little over two years, a
man who is not property holder, who
is a man of no family, has neither
wife nor children, and who resides in
the Second ward, from which two
members are already serving

Wisconsin Semi=CentenniaI.

During Carnival week in Milwaukee,
June 27 to July 2, when the citizens Of
! that city will spend 800, 900 for fes-
tivities Of all kinds, there will be
program of athletic entertainments such
as seldom has been offered to the people
of this country. The Milwaukee Ath-
letic club is making arrangements for
a gala day of field sports which will
bring together cracks of the country.
There will be a shell race between
the crew Of university of Wisconsin and
a crew yet to be decided upon.
There will be a boxing carnival at
the athletic club and a National gun
tournament, under the auspices of the
Milwaukee National Gun club, which
will bring to Milwaukee the most ce le-
brated shots of America.
There will be yacht races on the
bay for which prizes amounting to
several thousand dollars are offered.
There will be games of lacrosse
between native born Indians of this
state.
There will be baseball games
between Western league clubs and
many other attractions yet to be de-
cided upon. The committee on trans
portation states most positively that
the railroads have promised very low

WARNING TO USERS OF BAK.
ING POWDERS.
A CASE OF POISONING,
Cheap Alum Baking Powder the Cause.
.LLOgansport,EInd. Times


Cheap Alum Baking Powder the Cause.
.lLoganspOrt,sInd., Times.1
''Dr. SOuder was summoned by tele-
graph last Sunday night to attend the
family of Braden Harper, living south
west OF Logansport. Four of the
family were poisoned from eating
dumplings. The father and one child,
who had not partaken of the dumplings,
were well, while the mother and three
children we're in a serious condition.
1t is probable that had not vomiting
ensued, emptying the stomach, the
four would have died from the effects
1t is supposed the poison was caused
from baking powder used in making
the dumplings. The wife probably
added larger quantity than she usual
ly did, which in the greater quantity
proved a noxious poison. The bak-
ing powder used was branded the
manufactured by the * *
This should be warning in using
cheap baking powders, which flood
the country. People buy them be-
cause they are cheap, and the mer-
chant buys them because he can sell
them for profit. In many stores one
cannot purchase a standard brand.
You have to purchase the cheap stuff
or do without. We are of the opinion
that most of the prize baking powders
belong to this class."O
The above makes plain the caution
that is necessary to use in adopting
new baking powders that are put in
the houses as samples, or offered by
grocers simply because they are
cheaper than well known brands.
Burnt alum or phosphates we are
assured will be found in nearly every
brand selling for from 20 to 80 cents,
whereas a first-class powder is usually
sold in stores for about As cents per
pound. Some of the powders that
are peddled from house to house at
thirty cents per pound are said to
be made of alum, although they print
misleading notices on their labels
affecting the public to believe that
they are made of cream of tartar or
some other harmless Ingredient
Why people in order to save a few
pennies on pound can of baking
powder which may last for months in
ordinary family use will take up with
every scheme that comes along or
comply with the requests of every
one who asks them to try some new
poison, is one of the things that peo-
pie OF common sense cannot under
stand.

sensations on the Spanish -American
situation In the same connection an
informal meeting or the ambassadors
and ministers in this city OF the SIX
great powers of Europe was held late
I'm the day. Several of h foreign es-
Establishments received cabl advices
from their foreign governments tonight
as to the opening OF the exchange OF
notes. This had been anticipated in
view Of the prevailing sentiment In all
the foreign quarters here that the ac-
ton thus far taken in congress made
war inevitable. This common opinion
had been officially reported to the sew
eral European capitals and IL was
doubtless Instrumental in starting the
active exchange between the great
powers to-day. The same exchange oc-

powers presented to President McKin-
ley mildly urging a peaceful settlement
with Spain. II is understood. however,
that the present movement Is not OF
the same mild as the former
one Simultaneous with the opening Of
the exchange. word came from Madrid
that the Spanish government was about
to issue another appeal to the great
powers OF Europe. 1t Is understood
that this appeal Is an initiatory step to
the concerted action of the powers, and
there is an apparent agreement in ad-
vance that the appeal will receive ia
VOrable consideration
II is sale that SPANS appeal will re-
cite her grievance against the United

cessions she has made and pointing out

1t is the common belief I'm diplomatic
quarters that the Madrid authorities
have reached the limit of concessions
and should now be given adequate time
to try what they and the powers nave
offered as a means of restoring peace
in Cuba. There is no suggestion, how
ever. that this influence II present will
be of material character. but II liz ex-
pected to be an assertion OF all the
moral influence of the powers in check
ing tendencies, which, Ii is believed. in
evitably will lead to war. Up to a late
hour tonight word had not been re-
ceived at the various foreign establish
ments that any common basis of joint
action had been reached. although II
was the general impression that there
would be little difficulty in arriving at
this common ground. I'm view of the pre-
vailing sentiment abroad.

Results of the Test In Various Forms of
Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia.
Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia,
while a very common trouble. has for
some time been looked upon by able
physicians as a serious thing. and that
no time should be lost in treating il
properly at the start. because recent
researches have shown that the most
serious. fatal and incurable diseases
have their origin in simple dyspepsia
or indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indi-
gestion. III and starchy food not

While consumption M dyspepsia
are W 4 diseases, and II is beyond ques-
ton that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil
for the seeds of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a
remedy hat could be depended upon to
cure dyspepsia. as IL is VIGOROUSLY OBJ
stinat and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike,
until the question war solved three
years g by the appearance of a new
dyspepsia cure in the medical world
known az Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which IL was claimed was a certain. re-
liable cure for every form OF stomach
trouble.
PHYSICIANS, however, would not ac-
cept such statements without first Civ
ing the new remedy many tests and
carefully observing results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of the
country and with surprising and salts
factory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
honestly claimed TO be a specific. a rad
fcal lasting cure for indigestion in the
various forms OF acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach, gas or wind on stomach, too
much bile, undue fullness or pressure
after eating and similar symptoms re-
sulting from disordered digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this thres
years trial left no doubt as TO theiI

on sale at all druggists at the nominaI
