A Receiver for Cuba.

An ingenious plan for the settlement
of the Cuban problem has been sug-
cested to the president by Representa-
tive Beach of Ohio. He proposes that
the government of the United States
intervene on the ground of humanity,
the interruption of commerce, and the
destruction of property. Mr.. Beach
submits that existing conditions IN
Cuba Justify the Intervention Of the
United States. which, next to Spain,
is a party with the largest interest,
and that the easiest solution of the sit
uatiCn would be to have a receiver ap-
pointed Just as would be done if the
directors of a firm or corporation were
engaged in a quarrel which was caus-
ing the destruction of the property ana
the interests of the stockholders. 1t Is
believed that Brazil, Venezuela, Col
ambia. the Central American repuh-
lies. and other governments of America
would unite with the United States in
such a proceeding, and join in a rec
concentration for the appointment of
President Diaz as the receiver of the
property. He is of Spanish descent. tie
has shown an administrative ability
that is without precedent in the Span
ish American countries; he under
stands the Spanish character thor
oughly, and is more competent to gov
ern Cuba than any Anglo-SaXon that
could be named"
There are, it is pointed out, num-
her of precedents for such settlement.
During the fight for the independence
of Greece the powers of Europe inter-
fered in the name of humanity, and Sc
lected Prince George of Denmark as
the ruler Of that country. a similar
proceeding took place in Crete. The
Turkish provinces of Bosnia and Her.
zcgovina We're. by the treaty of Ber-
lin in 1873. handed over to the govern
ment of Austria for administration and
military occupation. These provinces
were at that time in rebellion against
| the sultan, and in his attempts to sub
due them the countries were being rap
idly destroyed. 1t being clear that Tur-
key could not conquer them without
litII ull'l lNSii l~Nlpll ''iiN tiN N'N'~i
mination of the population, the Euro
pean powers interfered and the two
provinces have since been successfully
governed by an Austrian arch duke,
and pay tribute to Turkey. Egypt is
another illustration. Great Britain in

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is indi-
gestion or in its chronic form dyspepsia, and
for the very reason that 1t is so common
many people neglect taking proper treat
ment for what they consider trihing stom-
ach trouble, when matter of fact. indi-
gestion lays the foundation for many incur
able diseases. No person with vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall victim TO con-
sumption. Many kidney diseases and heart
troubles date their beginning from poor
digestion; thin. nervous people are really so
because their stomachs are out OF gear;
weary. languid. faded-out women owe their
condition to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion ii is not sur
prisng that nearly every secret patent med
icine on the market claims to be a cure for
dyspepsia, as well as a score of other
troubles, when, in fact as DIR. Werthier
says there is but one genuine dyspepsia
cure which is perfectly safe and reliable.
and, moreoEer this remedy is not patent
medicine, but is u scientific combination OF
pure pepsin free from animal matter),
vegetable essences fruit salts and biSnuth.
1t is sold by druggists under the name OF
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. No eXtravagant
claims are made for them, but for tndlgeS-
ZION or any stomach trouble, Stuarts Dys-
pepSia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy
yet discovered. They act on the food eaten.
no dieting is necessary. simply eat att the
wholesome food you want and these tablets
VIII digest 1t. A cure results. because all the
stomach needs is a rest. which Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work
OF digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at 80 cents per
package. Little book IN stomach diseases

FARMERS NOW EDUCATED.
Want Something Beside "Fantasma'
at Theaters During FAIR Week.

Secretary Kennedy, of the State Board of
Agriculture is arranging for meeting of
the executive committee with the local
traffic association, at which Messrs. d. M.
Parry and c. S. Denny, who constitute the
advisory board, will also be present. Messrs.
Perry and Denny act in an advisory
capacity on behalf of the Commercial Club
and Board of Trade. The purpose of the
meeting is to arrange the rate to be charged
by the railroads to the state fair next fall
The meeting will probably be held next
Monday. although that is indefinite. As
soon as it is arranged the five members of
the executive committee will be summoned
to Indianapolis by telegraph. The local
traffic association will be asked to make the
usual one-fare rate for the week, with a
1-cent-a-mile rate good coming to Indian
apolis on Wednesday and returning Thurs
day and Friday, applicable to through lines
and on long hauls. This rate has been con-
ceeded in cities like Chicago by the local
associations, who urged the reasonableness
of the request on the Central Association
The members of the Indiana board believe
this is but reasonable to ask of the rail-
roads, since the companies all requested
that the date Of the fair be so arranged as
not to conflict with the knights of Pythias
encampment
There has been some complaint from out
of-town visitors to the fair at the character
of theatrical entertainments furnished fair
week. 1t has been the custom of some of
the theaters to give "Fantasma.'' BLACK
Crook" or some twin spectacle of that
character year after year, so that those who
come to Indianapolis seldom, if ever, ex-
cept on fair week, have not had a chance
of enjoying a new show. Mr.. Kennedy re-
Gently conferred with Messrs. Dickson &
Talbot on this subject. He has reason to
believe that a different sort of attractions
will be arranged for fair week this year as
nS.rlf Of fhn foil Ono IF no NrOlNl Ion
that confrontS the state fair management
is to provide popular attractions and forms
of amusement. 1t is the intention this year
to secure good attractions.
I'VE are often asked why we do not offer
something special in the way of unusual at
fractions, but when we ask those making
the suggestion what we shall get. they seem
up tree said the secretary. 1t is hard
to get good attractions. Last year every
body was anxious to see the horses that had
made sensational records, but no one would
care to see them again..

regulars had packed the meeting, and not

named the secretary, passed the resolutions

GRADING PAY OF POLICE
AN ORDINANCE PROPOSED TO
CHANGE THE EXISTING: SALARIES.
To Increase with Service of the Men
Mayor Signs Park Fund Trans
fer Ordinance.

Councilman Bernauer will probably intro
duce an ordinance soon in the Council pro-
viding for an increase in the pay of mem
bers of the police force. His idea is to grade
the men, paying them according to the
length of their service. 1t may be, in order
10 make the proposition feasible financially,
necessary to make the minimum salary,
that of new men, smaller than it is at pres
ent. 1t is thought that patrolmen who have
been in the service for five years or more
ought to receive $2.75 day instead of 1925.
The scheme now in mind is to pay new men
81 a day for the first year, increase to 81.
for the next two years, giving them $3.50 for
the following two years, and $2.75 there
after
1t is argued that this will insure better
service. as the men will work harder to re-
main on the force, and will have something
in view as a reward. Five years, it is ar
gued, will determine d mans competency.
