DR. WURTH's OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDl
 CINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy fo Dyspepsia. Indigestion and Stom-
 ach Troubles.

Dr. Wurth, in commenting on re- cent discoveries i'll medicine, said: There is none which is certain to be so valuable and far reaching in bene- fit as Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets, the new stomach remedy; l say far reaching, because people little realize how important a sound stomach and vigorous digestion is to every man, woman and child.
 Indigestion is the starting point of consumption, heart disease, Bright's disease, diabetes, nery0us prOstrG- tion, liver troubles; why is this SC? simply because every nerve, muscle and tissue in our bodies is created and nourished from the food we eat. If that food is, by reason of a weak stomach, compelled to lie for hours, sour. fermenting mass of half di- geSted food, it pOisOns the blood and nervous system, creates gas which distends the stomach and bowels, causing pressure on the heart, lungs and other organs and seriously i'm peding their action.
 He says further, the point to direct attention is not the nerves, nor heart, nor lungs, nor kidneys, but the STOMACH, the first cause of all the mischief.
 The remedy to use for indigestion and weak stomachs is not some cathartie, but remedy which will digest the food, increase the flow of gastric juice, absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will ac- complish exactly this result in any case of stomach trouble, because these tablets are composed of the di- gestive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal and Bisnnth, pleasant to taste, and not being d patent medicine, can be used by anyone with perfect safe ty, l believe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets will cure any form of indigestion and stomach trouble except cancer of stomach.
 Full size packages of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents. A book on stomach dis eases together with thousands of testimonials willbe sent by address Ing Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich.

JEFFERSON FENCIBLES,
They are Ready to Go to Cuba and
 So Wire the Governor.

The Meeting of the Jefferson Fencibles held at the armory last night was the most enthusiastic in the history of the company. The attendance was the largest since the organization. Tho excitement caused by the explosion of the battleship Maine and the recent sen sational telegrams recently re ceived from Havana had fired tue spirits of the young men.
 Shortly after the drill was com menced a copy of the telegram re- ceived by Gov. Jones asking how many available troops he could fur nish, was handed to Capt. Brady. Tie company was temporarily dis missed, and Captain Brady verified the genuineness of the telegram by communicating with GeneralSehaer He then telegraphed Governor Jones that the Jefferson Fencibles were ready to be called upon at any moment.
 Though the company has only recently been organized. it is in Q fiourishing condition. It has about 40 members already and acts upon applications at each business ses. sion
 The Jefferson Fcncibles are ready to serve their country.

wANTEp-A BACKBONE.

EDITOR GRAPuIos Yesterday s dispatches inform us that in reply to the resolutions of Congress re. questing information oa the Cuban situation:
 'The President will reply to the resolutions of Congress in the fullest l spirit He will send in the reports of the consuls. The only reserva. ton will be such portions as might endanger personal safety
 Shade of the immortal Andrew Jackson, hear thatl The President of the richest and most pow erful nation on earth does not dare to send to Congress, unedited, the officia reports of our Consuls in Cuba for fear that it might lead 10 their assassination. Just imagine, if you can, Lord Salisbury sending in such report to the British House of Commons; what roar of indignation wauld go up from every loyal throat in Englandl The citi- zens of the United States are con fronted with the fact that the bond clipping, interest eating clement so completely dominates the admlnis- tration that we dare not call our souls our own. It is case of
 peace with honor, if we can, but peace at any price rather than di- minish by fraction Of Q cent the values of holdings" properties or securities.
 If the President should tell the Congress the plain truth, the sub jects of a sixth rate, semi barbarous power might assassinate onr con. suls and this might lead to war. Has the spirit of money getting SC completely emasculated the patriot ism of the American people that VIC dare not protect our citizens in for eign lands2 There is not British consul, Eor, fer that matter, Brt- ish subject, however humble, any where on earth, who fears death at the hands of mob as long as Che Cross of St. George floats over his head. Will the day never coma when the shadow of "Old Glory shall afford equal protection to the citizens of this great republic2 If the good Lord has any blessings in store for this people, we pray thai the first may come in the form of . good, old-fashioned American back bone for our chief men and a reviva of the spirit of Bunker Hill in his advisers.
