INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of Dys
pepsia After Suffering for Twenty-Five


Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper
County, Iowa, was for twenty-five
years a sufferer from dyspepsia, and
her complete restoration to health is so
remarkable that we present the facts
in the case for the benefit of our read
ers. many of whom have doubtless suf
fered in the same manner and will,
therefore be interested in learning how
all stomach troubles may be avoided
and cured. Mrs Skeels says: 1 used
only one package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and 1 received such great and
unexpected benefit that 1 wish to ex-
press my sincere gratitude. In fact it
has been six months since l took the
medicine and 1 have not had one par
ticle of distress or difficulty since. And
all this in the face of the fact that
the best doctors I consulted told me
nv case was incurable as I had suffer-
ed for twenty-five years. I want half
a dozen packages to distribute among
my friends here, who are very anxious
to try this remedy Truly yours.
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
reason why it never disappoints those
who need it and use it is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it will
actually perform. 1t is not a cure-all
and no such claims are made for it. 1t
is prepared for the sole purpose of cur
ing dyspepsia and the various forms Of
indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure dys-
pepsia as we'll as a hundred other
troubles. When as a matter of fact
a remedy to cure dyspepsia must be
prepared especially for that and moth
ing else: and among all the remedies,
patent nostrums, bitters, etc, so ex-
tensively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
one advertised as a cure for dyspepsia
and nothing else The remedy is pre-
pared by the Stuart Co. of Marshall,
Mich, and for sale by all druggists at
so cents per package, and if you suffer
from any form of stomach arrangement
or indigestion a trial will not disap-
point you.

HOME INDUSTRY LEAGUE.
1t Holds Well Attended and In
terestiug Meeting

There was a right royal good time at
the meeting of the Home Industry
League at Federated Trades Hall last
night, and the attendance was ex-
traordinarily large.
The usual reports of committees were
received, that made by the Committee
on Labels being of special interest.
Labels were shown such as the several
manufacturing firms could use. The
matter was finally referred to the Board
of Trustees of the League.
The Trustees were empowered to levy
assessments on members TO meet any
obligations outstanding.
Remarks were made by n great many
of the manufacturers present, and also
by number of laboring men.
The meeting then resolved itself into
a social affair, and singing, speaking
and solid refreshments were in order.

the principles of moral education into
the young mind.
The industrial problems with which
America is struggling. Professor Griggs
said, are being faced by England and
Germany, and they will only be solved
when for universal, and not sectional
benefits, the concentrated wisdom OF
ages is brought to bear. In political
campaigns, notably the last one IN
America, one party proposed to so reg
ulate the finances IS to bring prosperity
to the United States at the expense of
England, and the other proposed to
adopt tariff regulations which would
bring prosperity at the expense OF
England, and this when England her
self was struggling with precisely the
same problem. If it were possible to
build a wall around America and cut
loose from the whole world, our civil
ization would suffer for it. Educa-
tionaI and social questions are the same
the world over, and until both problems
are solved for all, it will never be sue
cessfully solved by any one.
Any power that man cannot use'
the Professor said, he would be better
without Any money, or land he can
not use to advantage, he is better with
out. Everything we have that we
cannot use, uses US. The questions or
government are so complex that men
who have given them the study of
lifetime have come to diametrically op-
posite conclusions, and yet in America
they must be determined by popular
vote. Such questions were before the
people yesterday, and will be to-mor-
row, and tomorrow will the people be
called upon to settle them. Democracy
cannot succeed without the highest
universal education and moral train
ing of the masses, in order that all
people may appreciate and understand
the ideals and aims Of the American
experiment

Awaited News of the Battle in Asiatic
Waters Tell of the Great Loss Inflicted on
Spain---An Exciting Engagement.

Commodore Dewey's squadron won
a decisive victory in PHILIPPINE waters
The expected naval battle was fought
off Manila Sunday morning between 5
and o'clock, resulting in the annihi-
lation of nearly all the fighting ships
of the Spanish feet. Spanish advices
show that both Of Admiral Montejos'
cruisers, the Castillo and the Reina
Christiana, the latter flagship, were
destroyed by fire. A guhboat, prob
ably the Don-Juan- De Austria, was
blown up; two other vessels, the gun
boat Ulloa and the auxiliary cruiser,
Mindanoa, were severely damaged.
Captain Cadarzo, of the Reina- Chris
tina, was killed. A considerable loss
of life is reported on the Spanish ves-
sells. There Is no authentic informa-
tion as to the injuries received by the
American feet. A Spanish report,
briefly referring to the great battle,
says they sustained heavy damage and
heavy loss on their side and that their
wounded were landed on the shores of
the bay. AT the conclusion of the en-
gagement, Commodore Dewey's ships
anchored in the bay. None Of the
American ships were destroyed from
the information at hand. As to the
composition Of the Spanish fleet it ap-
pears that but two unarmored gun
boats and two or three gunboats es-
capped destruction or severe damage.
Spanish reports say that several were
sunk, "to avoid capture"

with Emperor Francis Joseph, arising
from a heated discussion had in the af-

can imbroglio, in which the Austrian
emperor vainly tried to convince the
kaiser that 1t is his duty and interest
to assume, if not an unfriendly atti.
tude toward the United States, a more
friendly neutrality to Spain. Emperor
William reiterated that Germany's in
terests pointed to a policy of strict
neutrality and the retention of the
good will of the mighty republic. EN-
peror Francis Joseph was much hurt
by the haiser's heated, impulsive Ian
guage and plainly showed his dis
pleasure at the banquet given in the
evening. The situation grew so un-
pleasant that Emperor William took
his departure before the close of the
banquet.

HOUSE.

MONDAY-The house of representa-
tives today passed the bill declaring
the existence of a state of war between
the United States and the kingdom of
Spain, in O manner which cannot fail
to impress the world. The represent
atives voted for it without word of
debate, without a dissenting vote and
without roll call, but with solemn
appreciation of the gravity of their
momentous action. There was no ex-
citement; no word or question. 1t
was only in the great cheer that went
up from the floor and galleries when
the speaker announced its passage.
After the presidents message was read
the committee on foreign affairs
framed the resolution. 1t was passed,
signed by the speaker and on its way
to the senate in an hour and six min
utes. At $40 the house adjourned.
TUEsDAY-The war revenue bill was
reported to the house today and by on
arrangement made the date will begin
tomorrow and continue in the night
session until Friday. The contested
election case of Wise vs.. Young, from
the second Virginia district, was de-
cided today in favor of the contestant,
DR.. Wise, who is a Republican, by a

journed.

taken. There was signal absence of
that partisan rancor which has always
heretofore characterized debates on
revenue measures. Both sides, speak
ing through their respective leaders,
Messrs. Dingley and Bailey, concurred
in the necessity which existed for tho
immediate raising of hundreds of mil
lions to prosecute the war, but the op-
posing doctrines which they held clash
ed at the outset as to the methods by
which revenue should be raised. At 5
o'clock the house recessed until s
o'clock. The night session of the houae
was devoted to brief speeches by mem
bers who were unable to secure time
during the day. At 1890 the house
adjourned.
THURsDAY.-The general debate on
the war revenue bill closed tonight
after eight and half hours of speech
making. The debate lacked both spirit
and interest. There was little discus
sion of the internal revenue features of
the bill. The committee arose, and at
5:35 took a recess until o'clock. The
night session was occupied by brief
speeches, many of them mere pegs upon
which members, under leave to print,
could hang speeches in the Congress
sional Record. At 1890 the house re-
cessed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

At Durver near Wilkesharrc, Pa,
Friday rumbling noise was heard
and without warning houses were
shaken and chimneys fell. Many were
held fast In their homes, and men
with axes battered in the doors to set
them free. The cavern occurred in
side the halstead coal mine of tho
Delaware Lackawanna and Western
railroad company. To add to the
consternation, the water main burst
and the water poured in an incessant
torrent into the cellars and the hugo
assures of the cave. Seven men were
known to be in the mine, but five of
them ascended the shaft safely. Scores
of buildings are wrecked, among them
the German Catholic church.
