WHOLESOME ADVICE.
For People Whose stomachs Are
Weak and Digestion Poor.

DR.. Harlandson, whose opinion In
diseases is worthy of attention, says
when a man or woman comes to me
complaining of indigestion, loss of APP
petite, sour stomach, belching, sour
watery-risings. headaches, sleepless-
ness, lack of ambition and a general
run down nervous condition advise
them 70 take after each meal one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing the tablet to dissolve in the
mouth, and thus mingle with the food
eaten. The result is that the food is
speedily digested before it has time to
sour and ferment. These tablets will
digest food anyway whether the sto1n-
ach wants to or not, because they con-
tain harmless digestive principles,
vegetable essence, pepsln and Golden
Seal which supply just what the weak
stomach lacks.
/ have advised the tablets with great
success, both in curing Indigestion and
TO build UP the tissues, increase flesh
IN thin nervous patients, whose real
trouble was dyspepsia and as soon as
the stomach was put to rights they
did not know what sickness was.
a ffty-cent package of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be bought at any
drug store, and as they are not n
secret patent medicine, they can be
used as often as desired with full as
surance that they contain nothing
harmful in the slightest degree; on the
contrary, anyone whose stomach Is at
all deranged will find great benefit
from the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. They will cure any form Of
stomach weakness or disease except
cancer Of the stomach. Full size pack

AMERICAN COAL IN ENGLAND.
Welsh Strikers Warned Against En-
couraging Imports from Virginia.

couraging Imports from Virginia.
From the London Engineer.
So used have we become in this
country to regard Welsh steam coal as
the only coal suitable for economic
steam raising that we entirely over
look the fact that on the other side
of the Atlantic there are mines of huge
extent which produce fuel little, if
anything inferior to the famous steam
coal of the Rhondda Valley. 1t is one
value of the coal strike that it has
brought home to us many salutary
hut unpleasant facts. The present is
case in point. A few days ago a
cargo ot Pocahontas steam coal ar
rived in the Thames. and has by this
time been transferred to the bunkers
of a steamer belonging to the Castle
Mail Packet company, of South Africa.
Under normal conditions the importa-
tior into this country of coal from
Virginia would, OF course, not pay;
but now that the strike has raised the
price of Welsh coal to over 30s. a TON
1t is then of doubtful quality-the i'm
portatioI can be effected profitably.
That the foreign coal is excellent
there is absolutely no room to doubt
is, as stated by Messrs. Hull. Blyth
e. Co., that this has been the only de-
scription of fuel supplied to the Gu
nard and White Star lines at New
York for several years past" 1t WILL
OF course, be contended that the pres
ent case has no bearings upon the
conditions existing under normal cir
cumstances. Perhaps not. but it is as
we'll to remember that iron can be
sent by the Americans into this coun-
try and sold at cheaper rates than our
home produce. and it is not impossible
that a somewhat similar state of things
may occur with regard to coal in fu-
ture years. In any case. that the Vir-
ginia mines will ultimately be able
to offer the Welsh mines very severe
competition in the trade with Western
nations South America. the Atlantic
islands and South Africa, and other
of our own dependencies, there can be
little or no question. IT is to be wish
cd that the force of such a lesson as
this could be brought home to the in
telligence of the labor leaders in South
Wales,

SAW IN A DREAM.
An Uncle of a Rough Rider De-

An Uncle of Rough Rider De-
scribed How His Nephew Fell ct
Santiago.
From the New York Journal
Just before the fierce battle at Sam
tiago in which Ham" Fish, Sergt.
Marcus d. Russell and other brave fell
lows fell, there was most remarka BILE
psychic phenomenon in connection with
the bloodiest tragedy of the war. Capt.
James Dennison of Warrensburg, an
uncle of Sergt. Marcus D. Russell, lay
on a sick bed.
On the Monday following the killing
of Sergt. Russell, and before any of the
family had obtained tidings of his
death, Capt. Dennison tossed uneasily.
He awoke at length from a troubled
sleep. Partly raising himself on his ell
bow, Capt. Dennison said to DIR. Gill
lespie, his attending physician:
Doctor. Mark has been killed. He
was coming over a rise in the ground,
fighting his way with revolver, when
he was met by small party OF Span
iards. He shot the first, second and
third Spaniard. but missed the fourth,
while fifth loaded his gun and shot
poor Mark, who died instantly"
After so speaking Capt. Dennison fell
back on his pillow and soon passed into
the unconscious state that had marked
his condition for several days. The next
day news reached the family that Rus
sell had been killed while fightine
Spaniards single-handed.
That the tragic killing was revealed
to Captain Dennison in a vision is now
generally accepted.
He knew that Sergeant Russell was
with the Rough Riders, but did not
even know that he had been reported
wounded. as stated in the newspapers
for all publications had been carefully
withheld from him on account of his
condition.
The case affords an interesting study
for those fond OF worrying over the un-
explainable movements OF phychis
forces.

In Iowa today are two societies
which, with an off-shoot of the parent
organization which went to California,
are the only purely economical indus
trial societies ever formed, all others
of the communist type having for their
basis some sort of religious enthus-
iasm. In Adams county, Ia, near the
county seat of Corning, two of the So
cieties referred to have about 1000
acres each of fine farming land. Ex-
cept for internal dissensions there
would have been but one community.
At the time when "Icaria" and New
Icaria" were visited each community
included about 80 men, women and
children, both nearly out of debt, far
more prosperous than any but a few
OF the individual farmers of the region,
were far better informed of the great
movements of the world, were educat-
Ing their children upon n system much
superior to that of the surrounding
schools, and altogether a thrifty, intel
ligent and contented community. They
have no church nor religion, the indi-
viduals being permitted to have their
own opinions upon such matters, and
the whole basis of the organization is
an ideal system of industrial econo-
mics.

Flood Tells of Horrors of the
Situation.

Paducah, Ky, April 5.-Whcn death
swept down upon Shawneeto7yn on the
crest of mighty flood there were a
few who watched its progress and lived
10 tell the story. One Of these eye
witnesses has reached Palucah. The
scene he beheld and the sounds he
heard will linger like a nightmare in
his memory for many day. Ed Wal
ton left ShaHncetown late Sunday
night and reached here Monday, com
ing the latter part of his journey by
rail. Possibly Of all those in Shawnee
town he had the clearcst view of tht
disaster
Walton says the wall Of water, 20
feet high, came without warming. The
first intimation he had was when he
heard q, roaring behind him to the
north as he lounged along the bank Of
the main levce. Then he saw the yellow
torrent of rushing waters coming. He
declares that ii looked like a low hill,
the spreading waters forming the slop-
ing sides and the crest of the food
the top. Walton was near n wharf
boat. Realizing what had happened, he
the waters began 70 fill the streets and
yards Of the wellkept place. Before
the citizens Of the community could
realize their doom. the yellow water
was pouring into sccond-story win
dows. Whole families died together.
Husbands went down to death with the
cries of their wives and babies ringing
in their ears. Children were swept
from their mothers arms into the
whirlpool.
Walton saw enc man slide of float
ing roof to help "a child which clung to
some floating wrcckage, and both per-
ished before his eyes. A few strong
swimmers saved themselves, but for
the women and children and older per-
sons there was no help. Some who
gained pieces OF drifting debris kept
their heads above water for n little
while, but most Of them finally per
ished. Some of the folks seemed to
grow crazy and drowned themselves
when they might have escaped. When
the flood stopped there was hardly
dry foot Of land anywhere.
1t was not long before the skiffs and
RATS were ont picking up those on
roofs and on the high ground. Out ON
the edge of town, where most Of the
survivors Went, there was nothing to
eat and no shelter. The women and
children were all crying and run
ming around looking for their families.
After it got dark it was worse than
ever, because all the lights were out.
