MANY SUFFERERS,
What a Large Number of People are Enduring.
A Distressing Condition in Which Many
American People are Involved The
Only Way to Alleviate it.
From the Moan.aineer, WalhaLa, N. Dakota.

The remorse of a guilty stomach is what
nation are suffering with to-day. Ii is q
well known fact that dyspepsia is a charac-
teristic American disease and il is frequently
stated that " we are a nation of dyspeptics."
1t is a distressing ailment and because of
its many forms is difficult to treat. Some
times it is the result of improper modes
Of eating, improper food or mental worry
and exhaustion then again it may be sort of
q depressed condition of the body and treat
ment should be directed to the restoration of
the health, without special attention to the
stomach. In other instances, the disease is
evidently the result of Inflammation of the
stomach.
Anyone Of these conditions produce a lack
of vitality in the system, by causing the
blood to lose its DEMONSTRATING elements. The
blood is the vital element in our lives and
should be carefully nurtured. Restore the
blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia will
vanish and perfect health follow.
For example, in the county of Pembina,
North Dakota, Q few miles from Walhalla,
resides. Mr.. Ernest Snider a man of sterling
integrity, whose veracity cannot be doubted.
He was formerly q resident of Lansdowne,
Ont, but removed to the west and is now q
prosperous farmer.
For three years he has been unable to do
his work because he was i'll with dyspepsia.
IL became seriously i'll about three years
ago." he says, and consulted q doctor who
gave me some medicine for Indigestion. I
continued to grow worse and several physi-
clans were called at inter walls who gave me
temporary relief, but the disease returned
with all its accustomed severity.

Hoar on Norton.

Some time ago Charles Eliot Nor
ton. of Harvard university, disgraced
himself and the famous old university
by INDUCING i'm some remarks on the
Cuban war. A short time since Sen
ator HOar, in a speech before the
Clark university summer school, took
occasion to pay his respects to Prof.
Norton for his unpatriotic utterances
and false teaching to the youth of
the college. Prof. Norton, upon read
ing the structures of the Massachu-
sets senator, made reply and en-
deavored to let himself down as
lightly as possible, and disclaiming
some OF the remarks attributed to
him. Senator Hoar was evidently
not satisfied and comes back at the
cold-blooded and snobbish professor
as follows:
Worcester, Mass, July 1S.-My Dear
Sir: l have your letter of July L.. L
am sorry that what you say does
not seem to impose upon me any ne
cessity for apology or regret. The
utbtE III oblElDuttu " you WHICH, l.
quoted We're printed in many of the
newspapers of the country for a long
time without being disavowed. 1t
seems impossible that a man who
substance should fail to disavow
hem if he have any care or respect
for the opinions of his countrymen.
But whether they We're literally re-
ported or not, they are in general ac-
cord. L am sorry to say with the
sentiments L am constantly in the
habit of hearing OF as coming from
you, both i'm public u~tterances and in
private speech, and OF a style with
which | used to be not unfamiliar
lovers of Harvard, all lovers Of coun-
try, have felt for a long time that
your relations to the university made
your influence bad for the college and
bad for the youth of the country. 1t
was high time that somebody should
say what l have said. / could easily
from my memory, from reports
of persons who have met you on
social occasions, point out many ut
terances quite as deserving severe re-
proof as those which l have adverted
to. | am afraid that the habit of
bitter and sneering speech about per-
sons in public life has SO grown upon
you that you do not yourself know
always what you say. At any rate,
there are plenty of persons who will
be able to Judge the matter. / should
be sorry to do you any injustice.
Indeed, it is not in anybody's power
to de you injustice but yourself. l
am, faithfully yours,

Sylvester Scovel is the name of a
young man who has made himself
quite obnoxious to our military forces
in Cuba hy his aggressiveness and dis
regard for propriety and decency in
gathering news. He represents that
yellow journal, the New York World,
which for news of events in Cuba is
about as reliable as the Police Ga
zette. The last exploit OF Scovel's is
liable to end d~isastrously for him, if
reports from Santiago are reliable.
1t appears that he insisted upon be
ing given the honor OF raising the
American flag over Santiago, and
upon being thwarted in his attempt
sought out Gen. Shafter and publicly
slapped his face. The yellow kid
was Immediately placed under arrest,
but what further disposition will be
made OF him has not been revealed.
Such an insult to the commander of
any other army in the world would
mean court-martial and death, but
Gen. Shafter will not he SO severe.
The danger is that he will be too
ienient. The disreputable cur should
be drummed out OF camp and not be
allowed to again enter the American
lines.

SMITH WEED.
Denies the Reports of the Proposed
Annexation of San Domingo.

PLATTSBURG IN. Y.) Nov. q
Smith Weed arrived home to-day from
the West Indies, where he was a pas
senger on the cruiser Montgomery
Mr.. Weed went to Nassau to meet
President Hereaux at the request OF
President Mckinley, or at least under
an understanding with the Admins
tration to settle the grievance San Do
mingo has against this country on ac-
count of the fernando affair.
It will be remembered that during the
early stage of the war fernando,
understood to be a Cuban patriot,
headed an expedition, organized by this
Government, for the relief of Gomez,
for whom he proclaimed great friend
ship. It turned out, however, that his
real purpose was to promote an insur-
rection in San Domingo. He landed on
the coast of the little republic, but was
promptly met by a Government force,
and out of party of sixteen he was
the only one to escape. San Domingo
naturally felt that she had claim
against the United Slater for damages
for fitting out an expedition which was
used to provoke rebellion on her own
soil. It was to settle this difficulty that
Mr.. Weed first visited the President,
and afterward went to Nassau.
Said Mr.. Weed to-day: "I acted in
an unofficial capacity. The matter was
satisfactorily adjusted. There is abso-
lutely no truth in the reports of pro-
posed annexation. Neither the United
States nor San Domingo desire it,"
