OBITUARY..

Mrs. Ann D. Price, the wife of Rev.
r. D. Price, an old aud honored mem
Der of the Minnesota conference, died
at her home at South Bend, Mimi:
Nov. 2, 1898, in her sixty-seventh
year.
She was born in Bont Newydd,
noar Carnarvon, North Wales. March
4, 1888. The family moved to this
country in 1914 and settled at Ran
dolph, Columbia county, Wis. Early
in life she sought God through faith
in Jesus Christ and found him to the
JOY Of her soul. Her religious life
was happy, joyous one. She joined
the church and was loyal and de
voted to 1t all her life. April T. 1852,
she was married to Rev. r. d. Price,
then member Of the Wisconsin con-
ference. That year they were ap-
pointed to Cambria Welsh Mission,
where they remained two years, do
ing excellent work, and from there to
Dodgeville mission, where they also
remained two years. She was a
great help to her husband in his holy
calling and blessing to the work.
The people all loved Sister Price. La
1856 they were transferred to the
Minnesota conference and appointed
to the Welsh Mission in the Mime
sofa valley and located at South Bend,
where they have lived ever since. She
shared cheeIfully the tolls and sacri-
fees of her husband in this hard
frontier field. Her log cabin was the
home and resting place of the timer
ant in those days. Many were fed at
her table and cheered and blest by
her earnest prayers and pure Chris
uian character.
Her husband, six sons and two
daughters survive her, one daughter
being the wife OF Rev. G.. S. Perry, a
worthy member Of the Minnesota
conference. Sister Price had been in
poor health for some time and con-
fined TO the bed for about seven
weeks. She was great sufferer but
endured it with Christian patience
and fortitude. When the end came
she was ready and anxious to go and
be "forever with the Lord" She
died in great peace, expressing to the
last her confidence in Jesus and hope
of heaven. The large funeral at
tested the esteem in which she was
held by her neighbors and friends.
Presiding Elder Stafford and Rev. J..
W. Powell had charge of the funeral,
assisted by DR.. Driver, A. G. Petrie
and two Welsh ministers.-J. S.
Midland Christian Advocate, Nov. %.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion

Indigestion
The national disease of Americans
is Indigestion or in it's chronic form.
dyspepsia, and for the very reason
that 1t is SO common many people
neglect taking proper treatment for
for what they consider trlfllng
stomach trouble, when as a no after of
fact, Indigestion Lays the foundation
for many lncurable diseases. No per
son with a vigorous, healthy stomach
will fall victim to consumption.
Many kidney diseases and heart trou
bles 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 Indigestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it Is
not surprising that nearly every Sc
cret patent medicine on the market
claims to be cure for dyspepsia, as
we'll as a score OF other troubles, when
In fact, as DR.. Werthier says, there is
but one genuine dyspepsia cure which
is perfectly safe aud reliable, and
moreover, this remedy is not patent
medicine, but is Scien ific combina
ton of pure pepsin free from animal
NATTER, vegetable essences, fruit
sails and bismuth, 1t is sold by
druggists under name of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. No extravagant
claims are made for them, but for in,
digestion or any stomach trouble,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far
ahead of any remedy yet discovered
They act on the food eaten, no diet
ing is necessary, simply eat all the
wholesome food YOU want and these
tablets will digest it. A cure results,
because all the stomach needs is a
rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets give by doing the work of
digestion.

Short Speeches Made by Gen.
erals Wheeler Young and
LaWtOn.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 15.-President
Mckinley made memorable the first
day of the Atlanta peace jubilee by a
notable utterance in his speech before
the joint session Of the Georgia legisla-
ture. His reception by the general as
semply was warm and hearty and his
speech was punctuated with frequent
outbursts of cheering. 1t is admitted
on all sides that the address marked an
epoch in history and is on every lip.
When President Dobson of the senate
called the legislature to order the gal
leries We're thronged with men and
women and the body of the chamber
was fairly well filed with state senators
and assemblymen. The speaker raped
for silence and introduced the president
to the audience after congratulating the
state of Georgia upon the presence of
their distinguished guest. AS the presi-
dent rose the audience applauded. Dur
ing the course of his speech Mr.. McKin-
ley constantly paused for the cheers to
stop. A scene of intense enthusiasm
followed when, amid impressive silence,
these words fell from the lips of the
president.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Spanish ship
ping is not to enjoy preferential treat
ment in the Cuban and Porto Rican
trade under the terms of the peace
treaty. Something of that nature may
be brought about in negotiations that
must follow between the United States
and Spain as part of the project fol-

but so far as it has not been provided
for, although the Spanish commissioners
made such a request. The text of the
treaty has not-been received at the state

missioners are expected to sail Saturday

A Tribute to American valor.

"EveTy soldiers grave made during
the unfortunate civil war is a tribute to
the American valor. And while, when
those graves were made, we differed
widely about the future of our govern
ment, those differences were long ago
settled by the arbitrament of arms, and
the time has now come, in the evolution
of sentiment and feeling under the
providence of God, when, in the spirit
of fraternity, we should share with you
in the care of the graves of the Confed-
crate soldiers"
A wild cheer went up from every
throat in the typical Southern audience,
cheer that echoed and re-echoed
through the chamber until it was taken
up by the crowds outside. Old men
who fought for the South rose from
their seats and waved their hats. One
Confederate veteran, now legislator,
had pressed forward until he was lean
ing against the speakers desk hanging
on each word the president uttered.
When reference was made to the Con-
federate dead this old man buried his
head in his arms and while the cheers
rang out, cried like little child.
Nothing Like 1t Since Grants Speech.
OF all the many conciliatory speeches
which have been made since Grant said
"Let there be peace" nothing has more
deeply stirred Southern audience than
the simple words OF President McKin-
ley. When the president concluded
short speeches were made by Generals
Wheeler, Young and Lawton.
The president held private reception
in the senate and afterwards a public
reception on the steps of the rotunda.
Then hundreds of Southerners crushed
and jostled each other in their anxiety
to shake Northern presidents hand
Many had came from miles distant and
when, at 2:15 p. H., the president left
the capitol there were still hundreds
bitterly disappointed because they had
not been able to make their way through
the surging throng to get a seconds
hold on his hand. In the evening the
members of the Capital City club
opened their clubhouse to the president
and Mrs. Mckinley and the guests of
the city.

ADJUSTMENTS AND CHRISTIANS It Is Necessary Part of Religion,
 Says Dr. Rader.

Dr. Rader of the Third Congregational Church delivered an interesting sermon last night on "Amusements and Their Application to Christianity. He said
 That man is practically dead who has passed the dead line Of real amusement. Nobody doubts the necessity of relaxation from care or the need of recreation. But right here the morality Of the world is influenced The amusements of men help hinder Christian ity.
 To Christianize amusements is as necessary as to Christianize industry or politics.
 People must be educated up to a full appre- citation of dignihed amusement. That which caters to the lower self is to be avoided. The amusement which does not recreate is danger ous. Then 1t becomes dissipation. That which restores the shattered nerve is Christian. As sociations make amusements dangerous. Card playing has a bad reputation for which cards not responsible.
 Dancing has suffered in the same way. large church in Jersey City Is making an effort to redeem dancing by making 1t Chris tian. Hence 1t Is being conducted under the athletic exercises.
 The theater Is the most difficult problem in the world of amuements. The stage Is very old. Once 1t stood for art. Now it represents much that is not art. The stage, so far it represents art, fs to be commended; far as 1t falls below that standard is to be condemned.
 Another danger is in becoming the victim of the amusement habit. There people like babies who must always have a rattle or drum. They are possessed with the habit of being amused, and that is the way they spend their lives.

WILLIS DROPPED,
The High-Wire Walker in New and
 Thrilling Role.

Glen Park was well patronized yester- day by an eager crowd which gathered to see Professor Willis make his thrilling leap from the clouds into a net below. The bills promised all sorts of wonderful things "a 300 feet descent "a human bomb from clear sky, personified by the worlds greatest atmospheric performer"
 The first disappointment the great and trusting public experienced was the view of the drawn wire from which the leaper was to leap. A few of the spectators were satisfied that the height from the wire to the ground was as indicated in the shoWbillS, but there were others who did not place such implicit confidence in the veracity of the promoters glowing prospectus, and they came to the scene of Professor Willis downfall armed to for height ascertainment.
 The skeptical won the day, If column Of mercury means anything. By the most scientific investigation 1t was dis covered that the wire was just s3 feet s14 inches in a perpendicular line from the ground. The net which received the pro- lessor was stretched on a frame of stilts that scared heavenward about twelve feet.
 Before the tumbler did his act he treat ed the crowd to a few thrills by walking the wire across Rockydike Gulch. From his eminence the crowd below did not recognize him, but when he came to earth he was discovered to be no other than the canary bird' man of the ocean beach Then a blast of trumpets tore holes in the air of the glen and an impresario told the people that the great show was to begin. By rope running through a pulley fas- tened to the wire above Canary Birds was hoisted skyward Sitting on the trapeZe he slowly reached his altitudinal limit, the small boys below yelling all the time about frigid neither eXtremities. The great dropper was pretty high up and there was only one way to come down, so he hung from the trapeze and dropped. With bated breath and stiffened hair the crowd watched his mighty and successful fall, and then a cheer went up which shook the sky few feet above the wire and the crowd dispersed.
