WAR and THE HORSE.
General Sherwood Makes Some
Pertinent Comments.
CANNOT sUPPLANT THE EoUINE.

The Obstructive Land Engines of War OF
Little Avail Unless the Horse Is
Taken Into Consideration
Prices VIII Advance.
Even the horse journals take time from
the harness racers ana stop the races
long enough to give us something of in.
terest on the impending conflict. General
Sherwood prints particularly trite re-
ference to the war as 1t lie likely to affect
the horse business. In an editorial In
the American Sportsman the General
says:
"It looks like war-rei handed, lurid
war. 1t is at our doors now. Here Is
where war commences, when 1t sDatohes
like thief our best young manhood.
And yet, since history began, the men
who bring on war never suffer bodily
in war, and seldom in purse; while
those who die with their boots on in the
murderous hell of battle, would never
have become the benefciaries Of war had
they survived the conflict. OF course
war makes heroes, but of the millions
who fight and tens of thousands that die
in battle, scarcely half dozen like
heroes ever survive to wear the laurel
wreatbs. But what do we care for heroes
or patriotic ardor or triumphal process.
sions, say the delivers in material things,
and every day the commercial element
is asking the question: Will war help
business9 This is an easy question. 1t
will. And next to the maker of coarse
box cofIlns, the manufactures of brass
buttons and gold lace, the weaver of
blue cloth, the tombstone carvers and
the devils who delve in gunpowder, the
horse business will strike jog at the
outset and then canter. All the internal
devices for killing men at long range that
the genius OF wholesale murder has in
vented cannot supplant the horse in war.
Already there is an active demand for
officers saddle horses, for our stunning
array of majors and brigadier generals, our
more numerous display of colonies and
lieutenant colonels and adjutants and
staff officers, and hundreds of horses for
the swift orderlies to ride to death down
in the fever haunted hell holes and dar k
morasses of Cuba Then the artillery
horses for the big guns that speak sure
death at three miles; the horses for the
cavalry all along the seaports of Cuba;
the horses for the baggage wagons, and
last and most numerous of all perhaps in
Cuba will be the horses to haul the fever
stricken soldiers in the ambulance
wagons. Yes, the war will make the
horse business boom. Even the chap
loins all ride horses in war, hence horses
carry our prayers along with our hard
tack and bacon and the dire engines of
death"

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was. Cured of
Dyspepsia After Suffering for Twenty
five Years.

OF an Iowa Lady Who Was. Cured of
five Years.
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co.,
Iowa, was for twenty-five years suf-
terer from Dyspepsia, and her complete
rest Grafton to health is so remarkable
that We pI9sent the facts in the case for
the benefit of our readers, many of whom
have doubtless suffered in the same man.
ner and will, therefore, be interested in
learning how all stomach troubles may
be avoided and cured. Mrs Skeels says:
| used only one package of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and received such great
and unexpected benefit that | wish to
express my sincere gratitude. In fact it
has been SIX months since | took the
medicine and / have not had one particle
Of distress or difficulty siuCe. And all
this in the face of the fact that the best
doctors | consulted told me my case was
incurable as had suffered for twenty
five years. l want half dozen pack
ages to distribute among my friends here
who aIe very anxious to try this remedy.
Truly yours,
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing indi-
gestion and stomach trouble and the
reason why it never disappoints those
who need ii and use ii is because moth.
ing is claimed for it except what it will
actually perform. 1t is not a cure.all
and no such claims are made for it. IL
is prepared for the sole purpose OF cur
ing Dyspepsia and the various forms of
indigestion.
There is scarcely patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure dys.
pepsia as we'll as hundred other trou-
| bles. When as matter of fact reme-
dy to cure Dyspepsia must be prepared
especially for that and nothing else; and
among lit remedies, patent nostrums,
bitters, etc, so extensively advertised,
you will find that Stuart's Dyspepsis
Tablets is the only one advertised as q
cure for dyspepsia aud nothing else
The remedy is prepared by the Stuart
Co., OF Marshall, Mich, and for sale by
all druggists at so cents per package
and if you suffer from any form of stom'
ach arrangement or Indigestion trial
will not disappoint you.

MADRID, April 25.-Spain has offici-
ally declared war. In decree she pub
fishes to the world the annulment of all
treaties, protocals, agreements or con-
necticns in force between her govern
ment and that of the United States.
She gives United States ships 30 days
to leave her harbors.
She reserves to herself the right Of
privateering and announces that she
will consider as pirates all foreign pri-
vateers.
The government has received no Off
cial information of the capture of any
American vessels, but instructions have
been sent to the Spanish naval authori.
ties to effect the capture of the Ameri-
can line steamship Paris, now on her
way to New York from Southampton.
At cabinet council, presided over by
the queen regent, summoned to con.
slider the capture of the Buena Ventura,
it was decided to claim that the vessel
was unlawfully captured, and the min.
lister for foreign affairs, Senior Gullon,
was instructed to seek the support of the
representatives of the foreign powers at
Madrid.
There have been slight demonstra-
tions, but they were dispersed by Gov
ernor Aguiloia. The one subject of
conversation throughout the day has
been the capture of the Buena Ventura
prior to u formal declaration of hostili-
ties or the lapse of the time limit in the
American ultimatum.
Many rumors are afloat as to captures
ON both sides. The papers warn the
populace not to be elated or depressed
by such statements, insisting that many
of them originate ON foreign bourses
for gambling purposes.
The attitude of the citizens of Madrid
is irreproachable. Several American
correspondents left by the Sud express.
Advices have been received from
Manila, Philippine Islands, to the effect
that when news was received there of
the sailing of the American squadron
from Hongkong, an imposing popular
demonstration took place, all classes
Offering their property and lives in de-
asm is described as tremendous.
Rumors are being circulated that the
Philippine filibusters are cooperating
with the American squadron, but there
is no official confirmation of them.
The cabinet council has approved the
general budget. Despite statements
published in New York to the contrary
it is declared here that the Spanish
navy is fully supplied with coal. The
government has received no official in
formation of the capture Of any Ameri
can vessels.
