Michael on the steamer Garonne. says
that the Garonne sighted considerable
wreckage west of Unamik Pass. The
wreckage appeared to be that of
schooner, but no marks of Identification
were found. Mr.. Strong says:
"Kotzebue Sound has proven to be an
other source of disappointment. Mis-
fortune has been the lot of a large
number of prospectors who were lured
to that section by stories of its golden
wealth. Parties just from there report
most distressing condition of affairs
Not one dollars worth of gold has been
found and one thousand men are camp

to get away. Nearly as many more are
in the mountains working their way to
the beach to secure transportation out.

offered for sale, but purchasers cannot

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not Paten
Medicine.

DIR. Redweu relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss Of
flesh; the heart became affected, caus-
ing paIpitation and sleeplessness at
night.
[ gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose As
an experiment finally bought fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and II pounds IN
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet 1 consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians's line OF
remedies, as they are perfectly harm
less and can be given to children or IN
valids or in any condition ofthe stomach
with perfect safety, being harmless ana
containing nothing but VegetsDLS IN, an
fruit essences, pure pepsin ana Goloen
Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indlges-
ton, biliousness, constipation ana all
derangements of the stomach however
slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co. of Marshall. Mich,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.

20 GUNBOATS SECURED.
Spanish Vessels Which Escaped to Be
Used in Revenue Service.

Boston, Mass, Sept: 14.-Under the pro-
lions, all gunboats of Spain in Cuban
waters become United States property,
and the naval authorities have just receiv-
ed an official statement that there are
twenty of these vessels which escaped de-
Struction during the war by keeping with
in the confines of fortified ports.
The. principal vessels to be turned over
are the Herman Cortez, Pizarro, Vasco,
Nunez de Balboa, Diego Velasquez, Alerta,
Ardilla, Tradera, Flecha, Iigera, Satellite,
Margarit, Vigia, General Blanco, Intrepida
and Cauto.
The majority of the gunboats are of less
than 800 tons, and carry one Six-pOunder
and one Maxim-Nordenfelt gun. They are
all light draft craft, being built especially
for service in shallow waters. Eight are
in Cienfuegos and the remainder are di-
vided between Batabano, Tunas, Havana,
CardenaS and MatanZaS
Naval authorities favor assigning them
to coast patrol service, while number of
them, it is thought, will be transferred to
the revenue cutter service.

MADE A FOOL OF HERSELF.
Did Mrs. johnson Who Married q
Man to Reform Him.

Judge Hazen of the district court lis
tened to the testimony in the divorce
suit of Johnson against Johnson today
for two hours and then dismissed both
parties with a good lecture.
H. w. Johnson is a printer who was
married in 1888 The couple has two
children, one of them in his teens.
Several months ago Mrs. Johnson
commenced a suit for divorce. Her
husband retaliated by filing a cross
petition for divorce on the ground of
abuse and inf1deIity. Mrs. Johnson
charged drunkenness and abuse.
Mrs. Johnson testified that her hus-
band had struck her and choked her
frequently. She said he was frequently
intoxicated. Il married him to reform
him. said she, and that is when I
made a fool of myself"
On cross-ex examination Mrs. Johnson
admitted that she had hit her husband
with a board and that she had thrown
water on him on one or two occasions.
Policemen testified that women of bad
character had been freQuenterS of the
Johnson home and associates of Mrs.
johnson. She said she did not know
of their character.
When Mr.. johnson took the stand he
started a story of marital trouble which
would have worn out policeman.
Some of the things he told could not be
printed. He said his wife had fire.
quently confessed her intimacy with
other men.
Judge Hazen listened as long as he
could and then stopped Johnson. This
is the most remarkable case 1 ever
heard in this court" said he. Il am
only sorry that 1 cannot take these
children away from both these people
for the evidence shows they are not fit
to raise them. The testimony shows
that Mr.. Johnson is drunk much of his
time and that Mrs. Johnson receives
women of bad character in her house
as associates of herself and her child
rem. The divorce is refused to both par
ties. I want to say to you, Mr.. Johnson
that if you keep sober and your wife
continues in the way she has been doing
I shall take the children away from her
and give them to you. I also want to
give you both fair warning that unless
you both dobetter I shall take the chill
dren away from both of you and give
them to, some one who can raise them
