Gen. Lew Wallace Challenged.

LEBANON. IND, Feb. 19.-George y.
Oaks, of Indianapolis, has written a
challenge to Gen. Lew Wallace to
mortal combat on the field of honor.
At tie banquet here on Lincoln S
birthday, Gen. Lew Wallace in a
speech told of a personal interview
with Lincoln when Gen. Mcclellan
had been forced back by Lee to llarri-
sons Landing on the James river
Lincoln was sad and Wallace inquired
what was the matter. Lincoln said:
Il must 90 to Harrison S Landing to
tell Mcclellan rot to surrender the
army
Gen. Wallace said half an hour later
Lincoln was in boat bound for Har-
rison's Landing. That is the first
time I ever related this fact
George +. Oaks, who was private
soldier in the First Michigan infantry
under Mcclellan, dcnounces the story
as fabrication, and champions the
cause of his dead commander.

Hurrying Rifle Guns South.

BosroN, February 19.-The Evening
Herald says: crush orders have been
received at Fort Warren directing the
commander, Col. Woodruff, to send a
detachment of one corporal and eight
men to Fort Winthrop, where they
will get eight-inch converted rifle guns
to the dock in readiness for shipment.
The guns 30 to Mobile, Ala, where
carriages from New York have been
sent to mount the rifles on. 1t was
learned to-day that orders received
some time ago from the department at
Washington, bearing upon the equip
ment and efficiency of the men, are
being carried out at the navy yard,
and that every marine remaining there
has been inspected, his equipment in
creased to that Of active service, and
extra drill is being held daily. The
apprentices on the Wabash. as we'll as
the regular seamen and recruits, are
being given practice at the guns and
with the cutlass.

Figures fer Farmers.
JAMES G.. HOLMES,
Chief of Staff.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 1S.-Mr. H. N.
Neill, the we'll know cotton Stats
tician, to-day issued circular as to
the probability of consumption CT
American cotton for the current sea-
son. After reviewing the results OF
previous seasons Mr.. Neill says: In
America the Southern mills are doing
we'll and will probably consume l00,-
600 bales more than last year. But
the reverse is the case with the
Northern mills.
With these premises we may now
form fair idea of the actual consump-
tion of American cotton during the
year ending the 1st of September, 1878.
Now as to supply, European and Amer-
lean mill stock Sept. l, 1897, 400, 900;
visible supply American Sept. l, 1897,
500, 900; crop of 1898, 100000;
total supply of American for the year,
12,20O,0OO. From which, deductins
total consumption of all countries
8, ,O5O, 900, and you have left,with vis-
ible and spinners' stocks 3,15o,oOo
against visible 100000 and spinners'
400. 900 last year, 100000. Visible
and invisible excess at Sept. l over
last year, $4,000.
While | have used the figures of
II 900. 900 bales in these calculations
it is quite manifest from the move
ment tnat the crop will be consider
ably moro.

Families of Maine Victims.

WAsuINGroN, February lit is
probable that the families of the vic
tins Of the Maine disaster will be
cared for by the Government as we're
the survivors of those who were lost
in the Samoan hurricane several years
ago, when one hundred and ffty-four
American officers and sailors were lost
from the Nipsic, Vandalia and Tren-
ton, which were wrecked on that oe-
casion. Representative Mcclellan, of
New York, introduced joint resolu-
tion appropriating $l5O,00O for this
purpose in the House to-day. The
resolution is as follows:
Resolved, by the Senate and House
Of Representatives, That the Secretary
of the Navy be, and he is hereby, di-
rected to pay out of any money in
the treasury not otherwise provided
for, sum equal to twelve months
pay to the legal heirs or represent
atives of each of the officers and crew
of the ship Maine, who perished in
the disaster at Havana, February 10,
1898, and the sum of sl5O,OOO, or SO
much thereof as may be necessary, is
appropriated to carry out the pro-
visions OF this Act.

acted in his own way. slessrs. Stew
cnson, Patton, Jno. p. Thomas, .Jr.,
and Bacot maintained the regulations
they had previously made as lawmak-
ers. This session Mr.. Simkins, of
Edgefcld, developed greatly and dis
played much real ability. Dir. Cush-
man was another man who was always
clear and pointed in what he had to
say. Mr.. Hydrick developed into a
painstaking Legislator more quickly
than perhaps any new man who has
been here in several years. Messrs.
Winkler and w. S. Smith watched
things carefully and saved the State
considerable money in having debate
shut off at times when such step was
necessary. Mr.. Pollock was better
Legislator this year than heretofore.
He talked plainly when necessary.
Mr.. Mccullough had many occasions
for the display of his ability this year
and became quite prominent figure.
Mr.. Werner. of Oconee: stirred the
boys up considerably with his liquor
sample resolution, which was the SEN
sation of the closing days of the ses-
sion; he also made strong fight on
his seduction bill which the Senate in
it's wisdom saw fit to dose with knock
out drops.
The speaker and the entire clerical
force, despite their arduous labors,
gave universal satisfaction throughout
the session.

MARIE DRESSLER
 4 MAGNETIC HIT She and a Good Company Lend Fun to "COurted Into
 Court" The Piece Is of the Usual McNally Order, but CIeVerly
 Played.

The fun of "Courted Into Court" like that of any other McNally farce-comedy depends entirely on everybody who is mixed up in the piece save the author. To me McNally is the severest possible test to which farce-cOmedy players can subject their skill. It may be for this reason that the best of these people choose to be funny through the medium of McNally. Certainly success in such circumstances is precious and unchal- quet we San Franciscans can offer Miss Marie DresSler, who comes a stranger, is to acknowledge her triumph in a piece that could have been made to succeed by but one other woman under the sun, and that is May Irwin. In "Courted Into Court there is, of course, no plot; and the absence of this is not compensated nor any noticeable number of good gags, nor any situations that are, by them selves, especially Comical.
 The whole piece, with the exception of such parts of it as are devoted to song, depends for life on the sheer personalities of the players. Miss Dressler is blessed with bounding temperament, heroic and an air of good-fellowship; she is in- formal without being familiar, and she sings with jovial vigor and keen de- scription. The burden of the entertain ing falls on her, and she carries 1t with happy distinction.

NEW TO-DAY.
TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make Test of Stuart's
 Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are tc blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and spring remedies the real seat Of the mischief is lost sight of; the stom- ach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms or stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep- sia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ. in some cases the heart palp1tates ana is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are con- stipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and ap- petite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 Mir A. W. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect street, Indianapolis, Ind. writes as fol- lows: "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medi. cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. have been a sufferer from nervous dys- pepsa for the last four years; have used various patent medicines and oth- CT remedies without any favorable re- suit. They sometimes gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore eff I attributed this to my sed- entary habits. being a bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but l am glad to state that the tablets have over- come all these obstacles, for I have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way. The above is writ ten not for notoriety, but is based on actual fact. Respectfully yours,
 A w. SHARPER, "61 Prospect street, Indianapolis. Ind"
 It is safe to say that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness CT disease except cancer of stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness. palpitation, heartburn, constipation and headache.

"A fellow who had been arrested for drunkenness was brought up before the Judge, and. notwithstanding the fact that he pleaded the arrival of a son and heir the morning before as an excuse for his condition on the previous day, he was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of s60. The unfortunate prisoner thought he was being too severely dealt with, and proceeded to tell the Judge what he thought of him, using for that purpose a string of explosives that, even in that locality. was remarkable for its length and variety. Mahew listened for few moments, and then, turning to Bill Ball. the bailiff of the court. said, Bill, are you going to stand by and hear your su- perior abused like this? Bill in reply hit the prisoner with a pair of handcuffs he was carrying and stretched him un- conscious on the floor. Now, Bill,' said the Judge, See if you can collect the flne.'
