may undertake and trust they may

encouraged. The unusual appearance

gratitude. In fact it has been six

Truly yours,
MRS. SARAH \. SKEELS.
Inc reason why stuart DySpcpSil
Tablets arc SO successful in curing indi-
gestion and stomach trouble and the
reason why it never disappoints those
who need it and use it is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it will
actually perform. 1t is not Il cure-all
and no such claims are made for it. 1t
is prepared for the sole purpose of cur
ing Dyspepsia and the various forms of
Indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure dyspep-
sia as well as a hundred other troubles.
When as matter of fact a remedy
to cure Dyspepsia must be prepared es-
pecially for that and nothing else; and
among all the remedies, patent nostrums,
bitters, etc. so extensively advertised
you will find that Stuart'S Dyspepsia
Tablets is the only one advertised rs n
cure for Dyspepsia and nothing else.
The remedy is prepared by the Stuart
Company, of Marshall. Mich, and for
sale by all druggists ut 30 cents per
package, and if You suffer from any
form of stomach deargement or indi-
gestion trial will not disappoint you.

CLOSE THE GATES
Middle of the Road POpulists at
st. Louis
Have Given the Butler Wing the
Last Chance
TO COME TO THE FOLD.
The Bars Are Put Up and They
Cannot Enter Now.
The Tom Watson People Will
Save the Country Alone.

st. Louis. MO, Jan. IA new party
was born last night in the conference of
the Populists and named the Peoples
party.
The Peoples party proposes to go it
alone. It has severed all connections
with the national Populist committee and
made arrangements for administering its
own estate without the aid or advice of
any other party on earth.
With few exceptions, the delegates de-
clared themselves unequivocally in favor
of going it alone in the future The ref
erendum system was most highly com
plimented and recommended foruse among
the middle-of-the-roaders in settling mat
ters of national Importance to the order
and there was practical agreement
among the delegates that a national presi-
Dental convention should be held this
year.
The entire afternoon and evening was
spent in discussions, and it was not until
a late hour last night that the mode of
procedure for fuller action was agreed
upon. Finally a report was adopted, as
follows, in part:
ITO the People of the United States:
1.-THE fusion movement consummated at
st. Louis in July. 1896, and the inexcusa-
BILE treatment of our candidate for vice
president in the campaign that followed.
gave rise to such dissatisfaction among

the rank and file of the Peoples party as
to threaten the absolute ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of the only political organization honestly
contending for the social and political
rights of the laboring and producing
classes of the country.
1T has been the purpose of the COM
mittee always to be courteous to the ma
tional committee and our supreme desire
has been at all times to promote a har-
monious cooperation with said committee
that fractional differences might be oblit-
Grated, our party prestige regained and
our organization restored to its once
splendid estate. This committee feels
confident of its ability to show that it is
fault of ours that the national commit
tee is not present as a body today, but it
does not choose to waste valuable time
in wrangling over questions of official eti-
quette. We avow it to be our sincere
purpose, now, as heretofore, to promote
in every honorable way the reform move
ment on true Populist lines, and we deem
the issues too momentous and the dan
gers threatening free government too i'm
minent to allow US to pause to consider
personal grievances or affronts, or permit
wounded dignity, real or imaginary, to
overshadOW patriotic duties.
Under present conditions our beloved
organization is slowly but surely disin-
tegrating and our comrades are clamOr-
Gus for aggressive action.
Having in vain opportuned those who
assumed to be our superiors to permit
to aid them in the grand work of reOr-
ganizing the Peoples party, that it may
accomplish it's glorious mission, we now
appeal to the people. the true source of
all political power"
The referendum committee appointed is
as follows: Messrs. Dixon of Missouri,
Tracey of Texas, Reynolds of Illinois,
NIatsinger of Indiana and McGregor of
Georgia
A number of rules were adopted for gov
eminent of the national organization

books from the regularly authorized
agents of the Pennsylvania company, the
tickets being bought by the brokers on

davit from Albert J. Gels, ticket broker
of Chicago, stating that he had paid with
a check for $500 for mileage books pur-
chased from H. R. Deering, assistant
general passenger agent of the Pennsyl-
vania at Chicago. Speaking of the af
fidavits presented by Mr.. Mckenzie, Mr.
Boyd said he had no authority to speak
for the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burg. He remarked, however, that the
Pennsylvania line had a traffic arrange
ment with the Vandalia line, from whom
the mileage books were procured The
Vandalia line was a separate company
and operated as such, and at present was
in the hands of a receiver.

Lead Them Into Mischief.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The interstate
commerce commission of the senate con-
tinued its hearing in the scalping bill
yesterday with George w. Boyd of the
Pennsylvania railroad as the principal
witness. He was sworn, under the reso-
luton recently adopted by the senate He
said that the ticket brokers preyed cspe-
cially upon the poorer classes by dishon-
est methods, by altered, forged and stolen
tickets. In reply to a question from Sen
ator Tillman, he stated that five conduct
tors on the Pennsylvania road in one
batch had been convicted in the courts for
stealing tickets, but that in the majority
of cases persons suspected were only dis
missed and not prosecuted. He said that
the corrupting of young men in the rail-
road service was one of the sad features
of the business. Mr.. Boyd also contro-
verted the opinion that a railroad ticket
was like other merchandise. Concluding
his prepared statement, Mr. Boyd de-
nounced the ticket brokers as a pest to
society, and as thieves, who were break
ing up homes, seducing young men into
ways of vice and doing more mischief than
could well be conceived
When Mr. Boyd concluded George NJ.
Mckenzie was called in behalf of the
ticket brokers and sworn. Before pro-
ceeding Mr.. Mckenzie sought to make a
personal statement III E0pAy u S1llelCEAS 0p-
on his character which, he said, was
dearer to him even than the cause he
represented. He referred to indict-
ment found against himself in St Louis in
1882. The Indictment, he said, was quash-
ed and the railroad men who examined his
books completely exonerated him. Not
satisfied, he brought suit for damages for
malicious prosecution and recovered 5000.
He made a counter attack upon the de-
tectives of the railroads, who had pur>
chased tickets from his firm under prom
Use to return portions of them, but in
stead of doing so had turned them over

Mr.. Cullom called Mr.. Mekenzie's
attention to a statement he (N1cKenzie)
had made to the effect that he had per-
sonal relations with many of the rail-
roads.
