DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF TEE NEW DISCoTERX IN
MEDICINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and stom-
ach Troubles.

DR.. Wurth in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There is
mona which is certain to be so valuable
and far reaching in benefit as STARTS
Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach
remedy; I say far reaching, because
people little realize how important a
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
IS to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption heart disease, Bright's dis
ease, diabetes, nervous prostration, Iiv-
@r troubles; why is this so? Simply be
cause 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 digested food it poisons
the blood and nervous system, creates
gas which distends the stomach and
bowels, causing pressure on the heart
lungs and other organs, and seriously
impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct
attention is not the nerves, nor heart
nor lungs, nor kidneys, but the stomach,
the first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomach Is not some cathartic,
but a remedy which will digest the
food, increase the flow of gastric juice,
absorb the gases. and Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will accomplish exactly this
result in any case of stomach trouble,
because these tablets are. composed of
the digestive acids, aseptic pepsin, Col
den Seal and biSmuth, pleasant to
taste, and not being a patent medicine,
can be used by anyone with perfect
safety. 1 believe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form of indiges-
ton and stomach trouble except cancer
of stomach

of him, began to yelp as If in great
pain. Wesley dismounted and proceed
ed to the brush whence came the sounds
and to his surprise saw his dog lying
hfeiess under the paws of a huge brown
bear. The young man was armed with
a $3.50 rifle and a 45 caliber revolver,
and throwing a cartridge quickly into
his rifle, he fired at the monsters head
and the bear fell stunned, but otherwise
uninjured. The bear regained his feet
in an instant and charged toward his
fellow stood his ground and proceeded
to pepper the bear with his remaining
cartridges in rapid succession. The
leaden pellets only served to increase
bruins frenzy and causing him to come
on at a more rapid rate.
His supply of cartridges being ex-
hausted and the bear within a few
yards of him the young hunter ran for
ing the first limbs and swinging himself
up just as the bear arrived under him.
Without looking downward the boy
climbed to the topmost branches and
paused to take breath.
The boys terror may be imagined
when he discovered the bear mounting
a limb directly beneath him not six
feet away. In his excitement Wesley
had forgotten his revolver and did not
think to use it until the bear had ap-
preached dangerously close to him. He
regained his presence of mind just in
time to save himself from a horrible
death and the first shot from the revol-
yer reached q vital spot and the bear
rolled off the limb lifeless to the ground.
Green's troubles were not over, how
ever, for he also fell out of the tree at
the same time.
Young Green was stunned by the fall
and when he recovered his senses he
discovered that he was pinned to the
ground by the bear lying on his leg.
He tried to roll the bear over but in
vain. Weakened from excitement and
the force of his fall the young man was
helpless and lay there for several hours
before he was found by a searching
party. He was taken to the nearest
ranch and properly cared for.
Young Green vows he will never
again tackle a bear alone.

GOOD CIRCUIT.
Columbus is To Be Dropped by the
Western League.

Chicago, Dec. buffalo has signed to
become a member of the Western league
The papers covering the deal were not re-
ceived in this city until today. The con-
ditions call for a transfer to Buffalo OF
the Omaha-St Joe franchise and seven
of the players of the latter organization
Buffalo does not get Danny Daub, the
former Brooklyn pitcher, who was a Stun
bling block to the deal for some time. 1t
is not certain what will become of the lat
ter player. The circuit of the Weste rn
league will be follows: Eastern cities,
Buffalo Toronto, Detroit and Indianapolis;
sas City and Milwaukee.
The history of the present deal that
brings Buffalo into the Western league,
and for that matter Toronto, is brief.
AS long ago a 5 last August Mr.. Franklin,
president of the Buffalo club, solicited an
offer from the Western league Mr.. Frank
lin said that the general sentiment IN But-
falo was for higher article of ball than
that shown in the Eastern league, and he
wanted to know what chance there was
for a franchise in the Western
Buffalo was then not thought of as a
possibility in the Western league, but a
canvass of the situation convinced the
magnates that it would be a GOOD thing,
and the deal was accordingly closed
If Toronto is secured to take the place
of Columbus, and Tom LOTUS is placed
there as manager of the team, which is
certain, the Western League will next
season have a circuit that will be a close
second to the National league as a money
maker. The circuit will be compact, and
little money will be lost in the matter or
transportation. The players will be nice
~ distributed, and the playing strength of
the teams will be well divided before the
sea is started.

A LION HUNT.
States of Colorado and Utah
After Mountain Pests.
Hope to Kill Them by Whole
sale in the CanOns.
THREE DAYS SPORT.
Ranchers Grow Weary Of Los
ing Their Cattle.
Western Slope Club Will Turn
Out on SnOWshOes.
THREE DAYS SPORT.

Glenwood Springs, Col, Dec. IA
mountain lion hunt on the largest scale
that has ever been had in the two
states of Colorado and Utah will be
held 20 miles west of here this week
1t will begin on Thursday and last
for three days. 1t will be the first an
nual hunt of the Western Slope Hunt
ing association.
The place selected for the sport is but
so miles from the western line of Col
oradO, as the railroad goes. The most
expert hunters from both Colorado and
Utah will take part.
Special cars will bring hunters and
marksmen from Denver, Pueblo, Color
ado Springs, Salt Lake, and Ogden.
These will be side-tracked at the ham
let called Debeque, which will be the
nearest railroad point to the hunting
grounds.
The mountain lion of Colorado has
been accustomed to hunt for deer and
elk, but as this kind of game is growing
more scarce each year the lion has
gone into the cattle killing line, and
finds this game so much easier that
it has become a serious menace to the
rancher and cattleman of the mountain
ranges.
The lion of this section seldom weighs
over 200 pounds.
The scene of the hunt will be what
is termed here a mesa, being a scope
of country that is fairly level at the
high tops and something over 100 miles
in circumstance Within this mesa
are numerous long canOns and guleheS,
and all narrow.
Along these gulches are the 1airs of
the lions and through them pass the
deer, elk, or cattle.
On Monday the trappers and profess
sional hunters for miles each way from
this mesa started out with packs of
dogs, as far as possible to hunt the
lions into the range to be covered by
the three days shooting.
The hunters will be divided under
nine captains, who will so direct the
forces that at the windup each squad
will have for its center one of the larger
canOns, and it is here that the lion
slaughter will occur.
Many other varieties of games will be
caught in this elaborate trap, such as
bobcats, lynx, coyotes, and bears. These
will furnish sport for those who do not
care to enter far into the canons, where
the lion will surely retreat for his last
stand.
Nearly all of the older hunters will
travel on foot, many using snowshoes.
On Saturday the festivities will close
at DebeqUe with a grand barbecue and
various kinds of shooting matches, with
rifles and revolvers, will be had for
large prizes.
The association giving the hunt Is
composed Of some of the best known
men of the two states. It is the first
of the kind to be organized.

the Lavish Expenditure of Wealth

says:
TT seems to me that an a year of

cut down expenses; but this is done al

had to be called in from other cities.
But great as were the direct benefits
caused by this abnormal demand, the
indirect benefits to trade were far
greater still. The money placed in the
hands of the dressmaker, the tailor, and
so forth, enabled them to again employ
commercial travellers in their business
Thus an impetus was given to trade

SIOUX INDIAN FENCE.
Red Cloud Protests Against Paying
$4,000 for 70 Miles of Wire.

Chamberlain, S. D., Dec. 7-Advices
received by a correspondent from an
authentic source at Pine Ridge agency
show that there is no change in the sit
the construction of the great seventy
mile barbedwire fence along the north
ern and western boundary of the reser-
walton is proceeding as rapidly as is
possible, under the direction of Con-
tractor Assy of Rushville, Neb. Out
of the building of this line of fence grew
some of the Sioux on that reservation,
many of them, led by Chief Red Cloud,
having stoutly protested against pay
ing $14, 900 for it out Of money now to
their credit in the United States treas
ury. The Indians were not particularly
opposed to the construction of the fence,
but they wanted the government to
pay the bill. Red Cloud, who when in
his prime was all-pOwerfuI among his
brethren, in behalf of his people, pro-
tested by letter against the fences be-
ing paid for out of the Indians funds.
The grounds for their opposition to the
building of the fence were set forth in
the protest to Indian Commissioner
Jones, which is in part as follows:
I'VE can not See any reason, stretch
our hearts and minds as we may, for
such a fence It would cost many thou
sands of dollars to construct this fence,
and the expense of maintaining st would
be only an additional tax upon our re-
sources, which should be better employ
ed in sensible expenditure toward bet
tering our condition. Many thousands
of cattle and horses roam over the
ceded lands north of US, and, as far as
I have been able to learn and observe,
the men who own these vast herds are
men of honor, great power, and, as a,
matter of business and precaution, use
every means to keep their stock from
straying off their own range. These
men have made many dollars for US
by taking up at the eastern markets
stray beef cattle belonging to the In
dams of this reservation, selling them
and forwarding the proceeds to the
owners
1t appears that this protest was treat
ed with rather scant courtesy by
officials of the Indian bureau, who prob
ably lost all patience because, when the
building Of the fence was first agitated,
it was their understanding that the In
dams were unanimous In demanding
that the fence be built. There is no
doubt that some feeling has been oc-
caSiOned among the Indians over the
matter There is also reason to believe
that Red Cloud considers the treatm lent
accorded his protest as the greatest
affront ever put upon him, END is deep
ly grieved thereat.
Unusually severe storms experienced
two years ago this winter were respon-
sibIe for the great fence White river
which is the dividing line between the
reservation and the ceded lands, over
which roam tens of thousands of cattle
belonging to white stockmen-when

lands.
Even then all would have been well
had it not been for some eviI-dispOsed
Indians who wished to make the white
stockmen all the trouble they could.
They gathered all the stray cattle to-
gether, prior to the annual spring round
up of the white cattlemen, took them
to the agency and demanded the pay
ment of 81 a head for their release. AS
there were about 900 of the stray ami
mails in possession of the Indians, the
cattlemen objected and sent represen-
tatives to Washington, appealing to
Senator Kyle to secure the release of
the cattle. This finally was accomplish
ed, but not before considerable feeling
had been aroused. To prevent a repeti-
ton of the difficulty the fence was de-
cided upon as the best means to pre-
vent future tnvasions from the ranges
