SILL IN THE DARK.
Nothing Settled About the Formation Of a New
French Cabinet.

Paris, Oct. 27.-Nothing definite has yet
been settled in connection with the FORM
ing of a new French cabinet. The air,
however, is full of ministerial lists, in
which the name of NJ. Ribot figures prom
inently. He is said to be the favorite can
didate of the Elysee palace and it is gen.
orally believed that President Faure will
appeal to him to form a cabinet of Re-
publican concentration, with NJ. Delcasse
remaining in the foreign Office. Such ;,
cabinet would not oppose revision of the
Dreyfus case. NJ. Ribot has always been
regarded as not being favorable to a re-
opening of the case.
President Faure received NJ. Delcasse,
today, and had a long conference with
the minister of foreign affairs. NJ. Del
casse had long talk, this afternoon.
with Captain Baratier, the French officer
sent to Paris by Major Marchand with
the latter's report of his explorations and
arrival at Fashoda.
1t is reported here, this evening, that
the British cabinet, at today's session,
decided to proclaim the protectorate
of Great Mritain over Egypt.

NO FAITH CURE.
About Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indigestion
Anyway. Whether You Have Faith In Them
or Not.

Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give an appetite, will
not increase your flesh and strengthen
your nerves and heart, but Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things,
because they are composed of the ele-
ments of digestion, they contain the
juices. acids. and peptones necessary
TO the digestion and assimilation of all
wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest food if placed in jar or bottle in
water heated to SO degrees, and they
VIII do it much more effectively when
taken into the stomach after meals,
whether you have faith that they will
or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do it. and
that is, plenty of wholesome food we'll
digested. 1t is not what we eat, but
what we digest that does us good.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by nearly all druggists at SO cents for
full sized package, or by mail from the

He has saved up now cents, so he

And l reckon then that the old man
will have to turn loose and help him.
