 Indigestion is the curse of this coun- try" says a New York medical jour nal in recent editorial. Both men and women suffer from this distressing complaint and it causes a tremendous amount of misery"
 This is all very true. but there is no reason why any man or woman should suffer from indigestion when there is a ready means of preventing it. Thou sands of people have discovered a sure cure and some of them have given the public the benefit of their experience.
 Mrs. F. Tarlton, 345 Park avenue, Cincinnati, says: "I had dyspepsia for fifteen years and was entirely cured by taking Duffys pure malt whiskey I had tried almost everything and know that this Whiskey cures where all others fail.''
 w. F. Anderson. 617 w Indiana street, Chicago, says: 1T used Duffy's pure malt whiskey for indigestion and dyspepsia. My stomach is now in bet ter condition than it has been for years past"
 These are only two cases selected from thousands of others, but they are sufficient to prove that dyspepsia and indigestion can be always avoided by the regular use of Duffy's pure malt It will not only keep the digestive or gans in perfect condition, but give tone and energy to every part of the body Make sure that you get no inferior imi- [ tation.

much annoyed on account of the con- fusion in the public mind in regard to the connection between the money con- tributed to the jubilee fund and money paid for advertising in the official jubi- lee souvenir The true state of the case is that money contributed in the latter way does not come at all into the hands of the jubilee finance committee.
 After the meeting of the executive committee the parade committee con vened and decided to allow the "Mis- sions" float to be paraded with the Ma tive Sons, as had been suggested.
 The Young Mems Institute has noti- fled the jubilee committee that it will take part in the parade, and has asked to be assigned to a suitable place in the line. The membership paraded will not be large, for a great many of the members of the Young Mems Institute are also members of the Native Sons, and in the Jubilee they will naturally give the Native Sons the preference.
 The executive committee of the Cali fornia State Miners Association met last evening in N. s. G. w. Hall for the purpose of receiving reports from standing committees and to consider the invitation of the Golden Jubilee promoters to form a miners division in the parade.
 4 resolution passed by the Commer- cial and Merchants clubs of Omaha was read. It was accompanied by a re- quest asking that the mineral exhibit be removed to the exposition at Omaha following it's presentation here in the | Mechanics Pavilion. It was decided to deny the request.
 An invitation was presented request ing the Miners Association to take part in the parade on January 24. and after considerable discussion a com mittee. consisting of Colonel Stone and MT. Halloran and MT. Cowdray, was appointed by the chair to act in the
 matter and make arrangements to have a good showing of members on that day.

somehow. as he remembers 1t, seemed
to be part of the dainty maid. At any
rate, he never fails to associate her
with 1t. Speaking of the blue dress,
somebody has said of It: "Of all the
arts and wiles which the ingenuity and
skill of woman have devised there is
probably nothing which so enraptures
the animal man as does the latest freak
Of fashion, the blue dress. The idea
was copied from the novelist, because
no well-regulated and eminently proper
heroine was ever known to swirl
through the pages of a society novel
unless she was arrayed in garments of
heavenly blue. So far the scientists
have been unable to explain the chro-
matte influences, and laymen should
certainly hesitate to undertake an ex-
planation Of SO abstruse a question, but
the fact remains that garments Of blue
exercise peculiar influence upon the
sterner SEX. / do not know how Alto
gether true the last statement is, but
1t is fact-isnt it?-that the charm

man may not know whether a gown is
after the latest and smartest mode, but
he does know in a minute whether its

the wise matron to the girl who would
be charming. let me add this: II you

cles that 11s.137 tons came to the Unit
cd States from Sicily in 1897 and that
the year before the importation was
even larger. says the New York Trtb-
une. This commodity comes exclusive
~ from Sicily. and to great extent
from the port of Palmero. 1t is ship

stone about the size Of those which are
used on macadam roads. It is duh

according to its quality! the higher

handled by the large importers in its
crude form only and these dispose OF 1t
to the manufacturers. by whom 1t is
subjected to processes which eliminate
the dross and bring to the surface its
valuable properties. 1t is used by the
manufacturers of fertilizer mr terials
and sulphuric acid, and large quantities
are consumed by the manufacturers OF
wood pulp and paper. The birthstone

sulphur 1t plays an important part in
the manufacture of vulcanized rubber.
The addition of sulphur to plastic rub
Der, vulcanizing the mass between two
tin sheets as an experiment, gave the
world the valuable commodity known
as hard rubber. and no substitute has
yet been found for the yellow dust in
the process. The birthstone statistics
show that United States receives more
of the material than any other country.
For the same time that 118.137 tons
reached the ports Of New York, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Charleston, Boston,
Wilmington and Norfolk, the following
exports were made from Sicily to other
parts Of the world France, 1896 tons;

Holland, $3.50 tons. The wine
growing districts of Europe use
large quantities Of the material to de-
stroy the insects which attack the
vines. and although many substitutes
are employed. the most careful grow
ers never abandon birthstone for that
purpose. The supply in Sicily ready for
transportation is larger than 1t has ever
been before. there being no less than

Calvin Huson, an old-time lawyer
OF this city, who died in Libby prison,
used to tell good story Of William H.
Seward, In whose Office he studied law
for about two years. Seward retired
from the governors chair $1,000 in
debt. He returned to Auburn and
went to practicing law, says the Roch-
ester Democrat and Chronicle. 1t was
not long after this that Woodward, the
famous manufacturer Of plows, began
to have q lot Of trouble with firms all
over the country who infringed his
patents. He began to look about him
for lawyer to prosecute them. Realiz-
Ing that 1t was q gigantic task, he
would have none but the best lawyer
to be secured. In his search he went
to Albany and attended the court of
appeals for several days. Seward was
arguing case in that court and Wood
wards attention was attracted to him.
woodward became convinced that the
lawyer. whom he did not then know,
was the one to conduct the case, 90
one day when court was over he made
his way to the clerk Of the court and
asked who the young lawyer was. He
was much surprised to get the reply:
why. that's Gov. Seward" When
Woodward went to find Seward 1t his
hotel It was to learn that the latter
had taken the train Immediately after
the close Of court for Auburn. Wood
ward followed him ON the next train
and engaged Seward to conduct his
case for him. After some months Sew
ard went to Albany to have the first
case against the infringers tried. The
opposition was represented by twelve
lawyers. among whom were senators.
congressman and some OF the best at
torneys in the state. After much de-
batting among themselves as to who
should conduct the defense. they ANAL
ly settled the Job upon one of their
number. He was no match for Seward,
who easily won the case and got Q
strong opinion from the court. Armed
with the opinion. Seward went back to
Auburn and began to tight all along
the line. wherever there was an In
fringement. He sent . copy Of . vol
luminous brief to every man who was
concerned In the infringement. and
they were scattered all over the United
States, together with the opinion. For
several weeks briefs left Stewards Of
nee BY the bushel-basketful. He car
risd the enemies works by storm.
There were no more suits. At the end
