SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet II Cures the Worst Cases Of Dys-
pepsia aud Indigestion.

Dr. Jennison, who has made a life
study Of stomach troubles, says: All
forms OF indigestion really amount to
the same thing, chat Is. failure TO COM
pletely digest the food eaten; no matter
whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia,
or sour stomach, belching of wind, ner-
Nous dyspepsia or loss of flesh or appe-
tite; q person will not have any of
them II the stomach can he induced by
any natural, harmless way to thor
oughly digest what is eaten. and this
can he done by a simple remedy which
/ have tested In hundreds Of aggra-
waited cases with complete success. The
remedy Is a combination of fruit and
vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin
and golden seal put up in the form of
pleasant tablets and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. one or two OF these tablets
should be taken after meals and al
lowed to dissolve in the mouth and
mingling with the food in the stomach,
digests it completely before 1t has time
to ferment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat. eggs
and similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say If this wholesome
remedy was better known by people
generally, it would be a national bless
ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion and
nutrition.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not
secret patent medicine, but fifty cent
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach that llfty dollars worth
of patent medicines and a person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
he is putting into hisstomach, which
he does not know, when widely adver-
tised patent medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized packages, so cts.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street itcvirw.

New York, March S-The tone of the
stock market was improved today as COM
pared with that of yesterday, the ground
Tor the greater confidence in values be-
ing the apparent desire of the Spanish
government to deprecate any idea that
they desired a rupture with the United
states on their own initiative or that
they sought TO irritate the United States
government into assuming the offensive.
The effect of this was most clear in a
sharp recovery in the price of Spanish
fourS both in London and Paris. Ameri-
cans also were much steadier on the for
eign exchanges, but there was nothing
in the early quotations from there to give
foretast9 of the sharp advances at the
opening here. The market was quite eg-
gressively strong du ring the whole OF the
earlier part or the day, but II is question
aDle Whether this was due to any large
amount of buying for new accounts. That
the short interest was largely increased
yesterday was easily to be seen and
shrewd professional manipulators were
able to discern this morning that the mar
ket was In an ovcrsold condition, The
better outlook in the relations between
Spain and the United States made the
shorts nervous and there was something
or scramble to cover at the opening.
1he manipulation for the rise was de-
signed to uncover bear margins and the
demand at the advance proved the man
require a very large advance to invite
1urther liquidation and the last hour saw
prices fall almost to last nights
point. Covering by belated shorts caused
a slight stiffening again in the final deal
ingS. outside of the professional man
ipulation there was little doing in the
market. Total sales were 352, 100 shares.

Baracoa, on September 1st Major Wylly
and two companies dsembarked, and with
due military ceremony raised the first
American flag that had been unfurled on
the northern coast Of Cuba.
Major Wylly, in establishing line Of
sentinels in advance of the pickets, neg

footsteps on the hillside and without
challenging, fired about sixty shots.
FUN FOR THE SPANISH.
No harm was done. but the men were
much demoraiZed. and there was con-
siderable amusement among the Spanish
officers over the incident.
