States might expect heavy reverses when
those troops encountered the trained
Spanish troops ON the island. 1t would be
grave error to underestimate the
strength of the adverslries Of the Amer

Americans even temporarily beaten, as
all my sympathy is with them,'
Continuing, Lord Wolsely said 1T Is
fortunate for the United States that its
war is not with u drst class power, for
it is evident that in such an encounter
they would be badly beaten in the begin

dyspepsia, and for the very reason
that lt is 80 common many people
neglect taking proper treatment for
what they consider trifilng stomach
trouble, when AZ a matter OF fact,
indigestion lays the foundation for
many incurable diseases. No person
with q vigorous, healthy stomach
will fall victim TO consumption.
Many kidney diseases and heart
troubles date their beginning from
oor digestion; thin, nervous people
IRE really 80 because their stOmachs
are out OF gear; weary, laOPuid, faded
out women owe their condition to
imperfect indigestion.
When nearly every person you meet
Is afflicted with weak digestion 10 is
not surprising that nearly every Sc
cret patent medicine on the market
claims TO be cure for dyspepsia, us
we'll as score OF other troubles,
when in fact, as DR.. Werther says,
there Is but one genuine dyspepsia
cure which Is perfectly safe and re-
liable and moreover, this remedy Is
not a patent medicine, but II is

stomach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are far ahead Of any remedy
yet discovered. They act on the food
eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply

SALEM CRY FINANCES.

With accumulated interest," tue ciJy
Of Salem has a floating debt Of about
$4,000. These warrants are drawing
eight per cent interest. and until they
are paid of or funded the city debt
will grow.
For several years we have been told
that money was becoming more
plenty aod interest cheaper than ever.
Oregon produces more wealth per
capita than almost any state In the
Uulon, and Is ssdeveloplnR few enter
prises that need capital.
Oregon has almost no saying banks
few corporations pay dividends, build
ing and loan associations are not pro-
fltable, foreign money lenders are
keen to get all the real estate loans,
the warrant spectators and officIals
gobble up every warrant before 1t is
issued. Money by hun dreds OF dol
lars is lying idle 10 the banks paying
the depositors not nickel.
When the question arises what shall
the city do to reduce its interest
burden and get on a solvent basis, the
warrant speculator says: +" let me hold
my eight per cent warrants, or issue
new six per cent warrants to me for
my old warrant with from one to five
years accrued interest, so 1t Will pay
me as much or more interest than l
am getting now at eight per cent"
The debt would then pile up against
the city until his warrants, principal
aud interest, could be paid. The city
would use up It's current funds for
other purposes and the debt would
grow and grow. That plan OF tinanc-
ing the boating debt should never be
adopted.
The other plan offered is TO issue
$4,000 Of thIrty-year bonds at or 5
per cent and sell them ln the East.
They would sell at premium. That
has bees done before. 1t is the bond
disease that is keeping the West a
financial invalid. Salem has that
sickness badly enough now, The
bulk OF our taxes 90 East every six
months TO pay bond lnterst now. The
Eastern bondholder, who may live In
Europe, does not care a ig what kind
OF city government we haYe. The
only person enriched here Is the
agent who sells the bonds aud collects
the seInI.annual Interest.
ReIssulng warrants aud selling long-
time bonds abroad are no solution OF
the problem, Both are make-shift-
