MIR. Allison expressed sympathy with
the desire to have a large number of the

fact must not be lost sight of that our

Replying to suggestion, Mr.. Allison
said the President had no. power to
muster into our army the natives of any
of the various islands until it should be
none by taking Them into our regular
army organization. He suggested legisla-
ton authorizing the utilization of large
percentage of the local forces in the out

however, for the committee on military
affairs and had no place in an. appropria-
ton bill and he hoped the present bill
would be left intact.
MIR Money said his experience had not
been the same as that of Other Senators
who had found reglmental and company
officers unwilling to assist their men to

Of THE. NEW DISCOVERY IN MEoI-

Dyspepsia Tat let's the new stomach Ie .u1- :

cry man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point OF con-
sumpfion. heart disease, Bright's disease,
diahstas- nervous prostratio on, liver
troubles: why is this 40? Simply because
every nerve. muscle and tissue in our
bodies is created and nouriShed from the
food we eat, If that food is by reason of
a weak stomach compelled to lie for
hours a sour fermenting mass of half d.
gested food. it poisons the blood and ner-
vous system, creates pas which distends
the stomach and bowels, causing pressure
on the heart. lungs and her organs.
and seriously impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct at
teution is not the nerves, nor heart nor
lungs, nor Kidneys. hut the stomach, the
first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some ca hartic, but
a remedy which will digest the food, in
crease the flow of gastric juice, absorb
the gases, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will accomplish exactly this result in any
case of stomach trouble, because THESE
tablets are composed of the digestive
acids, aseptic pepsin. Golden Seal and
bismuth, pleasant to taste, and not being
a patent medicine. can be used by anyone
with perfect safety. / believe Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form OF
indigestion and stomach trouble except
cancer of stomach.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. 6-There has
been wonderful Improvement In the Eighth
Illinois volunteers since the men received
tne1r new uniforms and equipment from the
government. This issue seems to have pu:
new lie and vigor into the sturdy colored sons
OF Illinois, and; they have entered upon their
duties with vlgor that is surprising But a
rev WEEKS ago Illinois had only one battalion
OF colored soldiers. Now she has a full reei :
ment composed entirely. officers and all, Of
colored men, and 1t would be hard matter to
distinguish the old soldiers from the new.
This is due to hard work. The rockies" or
raw recruits, and there are eight companies
OF them in all, have been drilled hard during
their time in camp, with good results. The
most marked Improvement, however, has been
since the uniforms were given out.
Colonel Marshall who Is In command, in
speaking Of his experience in raising regi-
1ent OF colored soldiers says: 1T seems like
dream. We brought to camp at least 500
men before we managed to fill up the reg-
ment. OF this number about $50 deserted and
ran OF, and lot of others were rejected on
account OF physical disability. Many thought
they were coming on a picnic or an excur-
sion. We have weeded out all the poor ma
terlal and now every member of the regiment
is man. All seem to be satisfied and take
deep interest in their drills. But few are ask
Ing for Burroughs, and none want to go home"
Colonel Marshall has probably encountered
more difficulties in raising his regiment than
any other colonel in Illinois up to this time
Troubles menaced him on every hand for a
time, but his indomiteble Split finally pre-
vailed and he has succeeded, thanks to his
many friends who stuck to him and gave him
their assistance from the start until the regi-
ment was mustered into the service of the
government. Colonel Marshall is a man with
a history. He bears the distinction Of being
the first colored man who has ever held a
commission as colonel in the army OF the
United States in Immand Of regiment COM

nothing but the quickest way to spend 1t.
Payment was made by battalions. The First
battalion was marched into the Dome building
and heavy guard was placed at all the doors.
None was allowed to leave until the entire
battalion was marched from the building and
loaded into the cars. Guards were placed at
each door Of the cars and the men were not al
lowed to leave E.ss.-l.r-. gs l. -. s,,-.s,4
The saloon keepers near the fair grounds
had men passing up and down the cars, SELL
ing bottles Of whisky. The officers did no.
discover the thing until fight occurred on
the train. Several men Of company "A, Chi
cago, Captain Theo Van Pelt, became intoxi-
Gated. A fight ensued and at its close several
were nursing sore heads All the men who
took part in the trouble will be severely dealt
with. Other fist fights between soldiers oc-
Cured in the afternoon but no one was hurt
much.
The scenes in the Dome building while the
men we're being paid were witnessed by many
and will long be remembered. Several per-
sons holding bills due against soldiers were on
hand and made collections. Probably the
soldiers Of the Eighth left $4,000 Of the
amount received today in Springfield. despi:e

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. Aug. s.-The Eighth
Illinois infantry Is on the way to Santiago
de Cuba. The regiment saw the last of
cars did not reach camp until afternoon. BY
that time half the regiment had been paid, so
that in reality the delay on this account was
only about six or eight hours. Major B. B.
Ray, paymaster, arrived in Springfield early
this morning and tonight had paid nearly
$4,000 to the regiment. He was accom-
panied by H. A. Steward, his secretary, and
E. R. Mears, his chief clerk. Major Ray had
received instructions before coming here to
pay from date of muster. Today he was in
structed to pay from date Of enrolment.
which means the time of coming to camp.
vate received $17.16.
The officers. however, were only paid from
date of muster, July q, giving them but ten
days pay. Many felt very badly about it, as
all Of them have been in camp since the
regiment was ordered here. In addition,
mary Of them have assumed obligations, pur-
chased uniforms and horses, for which they
wished to settle before leaving here. Be-
sides this, number of officers had given
their entire attention to the organization OF
the regiment for weeks before twas even
ordered out, and had also spent considerable
money in keeping the men together. All
feel satisfied that when the matter is ex-
planned to the department they will receive
pay for the full time since coming here.
Major Ray was assisted in paying the men
during the morning by Floyd K Whlttemore,
Republican candidate for state treasurer, and
who is at present assistant state treasurer.
The men were overjoyed at receiving pay.
Many Of them made immediate arrangements
for sending money home. Others thought OF
