INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND PERMA-
NENTLY CURED.
A New Discovery, But Not a Patent Med
icine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting account
of what he considers q remarkable cure of
acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspep-
STA by the use of the new discovery, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was q man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years with
dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to
sour and create acid and gases in the stom-
ach he had pains like rheumatism in the
back. shoulder-blades and limbs, fullness
and distress after eating, poor appetite and
loss of flesh; the heart became affected. caus-
ing palpitationand sleeplesSness at night.
i gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood
remedies, but to no purpose. As an expert
ment finally bought a fifty cent package of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store
and gave them to him. Almost immediate
relief was given, and after he bad used four
boxes he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour watery
risings, no bloating after meals, the appetite
was vigorous, and he has gained between
10 and II pounds in weight of solid, healthy
flesh
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores, yet con-
slider them most valuable addition to any
physicians line OF remedies, as they are per-
fectly harmless and can be given to children
or invalids, or in any condition of the stomach
with perfect safety, being harmless and con-
tanning nothing but vegetable and fruit essen
ces, pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the safest,
most effective cure for indigestion, bilious
ness, constipation, and all arrangements of
the stomach, however slight or severe
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere at fifty cents for full
sized packages.

Since Gen Miles has been abroad he has
become imbued with the idea that the

entirely too simple lacking too much the

officer thing OF beauty when he wears his

the War Department to change his dress of

Capt. =. III. Ray, the Departments
special representative in the klOndike.
Capt. Ray recommends that the Govern
ment take steps to effectually check
immigration to the interior OF Alaska of
all persons without supplies to last two
years. Capt Ray says there is not now,
or likely TO be within II months, ade-
quate or efficient means of supplying
people now in Alaska or Northwest Terri
tory. He is Of the opinion that only
about seven per cent. OF all the people
who have entered during the past
year have earned their living while hun
dredS are now scattered along the river
destitute of food, clothing and money.
The people coming in have not had the
faintest conception of what to do to earn
a living, and after spending the money
they bring become dazed and helpless.
Capt. Ray says the rush will be great
next year, and any step that will pre-
want people from coming in their ignOr-
ance will be an act Of charity.
Feb. 5.-The House Com
mlttee on Library, through Representa-
tive Cummings, reported favorably a bill to
aid with an appropriation of $4,000 in the
erection of monument to the memory OF
Gen. William SmallwOod and the sol
dierS of the Maryland Line in the war for
American independence. The Commit
tee says concerning the service of these
soldiers: "The Old Guard occupied no
higher station in the French Army than
that held by the Maryland Line and the
Continental Army. The battle of Licking
ton was fought on the 18th of April, 1135.
On the oath of that month young and old
enrolled with the greatest enthusiasm in
Maryland, and were armed and equipped.
Forty companies Of mounted men were
raised. While the City of New York was
still cold and undecided, Maryland
troops were on their way to Boston. Col.
Smalwood commanded All men of
these troops. In addition, two companies
OF artillery and one Of marines were
raised"

SamueIs got up and said, This bond is
rretty high, and we would rather give
,ou a surety bond for, say, $4,000 or

lritiss Of more than that, although
hey may be wealthy people and able
o give the bond, but 1 would rather
aot."
Then the question of insurance
tne up. Our tender called for insur-
nee to satisfy the board-that is,
mple to satisfy their views in the mat
Grand a committee was appointed to
scertain what the proper insurance
should be. Members of the corporation
vent to a number of large insurance
.ompanies in the city, the names of
hich 1 don't know, and told them the
FACTS of the case. The committee was
+teered to call on these companies, and
when the companies were asked how
much insurance they would carry 1t
vas found that they would only carry
$4,000 insurance on these buildings,
which was another pretty good piece of
work
@. Who originated that idea?
A. Jim Shook.

nation?

nation. So that instead of the $4,000
Insurance advocated by Director Der
ham, we were permitted to insure for
s24. 000. saving us several thousand dol
ars a year.
@. Did you render any other services?
A. Yes. sir Our tender called for
the making Of all improvements in and
about the buildings by the corporation.
Subsequent to the granting of the lease
Director Burns ordered and had placed
in the basement beneath Phil Grim
Minis saloon sewer costing 5000,
which was charged to the city. An

whole one. I never was able to get the
three men to meet me at the same
time, and as a consequence never re-
ceived any satisfaction. 1 approached
Shook regarding the matter at a later
date and was told that I had got all
was going to get, and If 1 did not quit
kicking about 1t I would be assessed
out Of what had already been given to
me.
@, Did you ever get any money from
them?
A. From the corporation?
@. Yes.
a. Not from anybody whom I have
mentioned.
Q. Well. you hypothetical your
stock, didn't you?
a Yes, sir.
Q. How much did you get for that?
A. Subsequently, when James A
Shook was elected president of the cor
poration-
Q. [Interruptingl About when was
that?
A. Shortly after the lease was
granted and Henry Trevor elected sec
rotary and treasurer I decided to hy-
5000 from Sanford P1ummer. Shortly
after that, needing more money, bor-
rowed from Henry Trevor $500, turning
the stock over to him. Since that time
have received from Mr.. Trevor $1,000
in all.
Q. For which he holds your stock as
security?
A. He holds my stock as security.
Q. Did you ever have any dealings
with the members of the Board of Ed
ucation personally?
A. What do you mean? In the way
of passing coin?
Q. No; in connection with this bust
ness?
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-11-13

A. Yes.
Q. Who were thew?
A Mr.. Waller, as I have described,
and Director Head.
Q. What was the nature of the bust
ness that you transacted with Director
Head?
"A. Director Head was at that time a
candidate for the nomination for Sher-
If. Mr.. Crimmins called on him and
told him that he would like to have
him stand in on this proposition and
Head promised to do so. Mr.. Shook
was instructed to keep him in line, to
watch him. Mr.. Shook was incapaci-
tated from business on the night that
the lease was granite. and | heard
that Head had threatened to bolt and
refused to stand by the corporation. l
Immediately telephoned to Philip Grim
minis, telling him the state of facts and
asking him what 1 should do He said
Hold things out as long as you can
and l will go out there. Meet me in
the corridor" He came out immedi-
ately. l met him in the corridor and
he said, Send Ed Head out here" He
got into a dark doorway opposite the
head Of the stairs leading to the Board
of Education rooms and l sent Head
out to him. The conversation resulted
in Director Head advocating all mea-
sures looking to the welfare of the COM
pany.
o. Did you ever talk business person
ally to any of these members except
Waller?
A. No, sir; all of that was done by
Shook.
Q. Then you don't know as a matter
of fact that any of them received that
money which Waller had agreed to
pay them?
a. Except from the fact that they all
stood up and voted as they were ex-
pected to vote, reducing our bond and
insurance and making our fight in
every way.
Q. What are you going to do to OBJ
tain the balance Of 875 shares of the
capital stock of this corporation which
is due you under your agreement?
A. I have begun a suit against the
corporation and those with whom I mad
| agreements to pay me one-quarter e
1900 shares of that stock for the balance
due me, and l am going to make efforts
to press the suit to trial to force them
to pay me what is due me.

Take Most Vigorous
Action.
UNCLE SAM IN EARNEST
DETERMINED TO BRING PHILIP
PINE QUESTION TO A HEAD.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-The admins
tration has instructed the American COM
missioners at Paris to bring the Philip
pine question to head next week, as
a result of a cabled report from Judge
Day received this morning, indicating
that negotiations were not advancing
as rapidly as the President desired.
The President thought it sufficiently
important to require immediate cOnsid-
Grafton at a special Cabinet meeting.
which was called as soon as he had re-
ceived the cablegram. At this meeting
the situation at Paris was thoroughly
discussed until a general agreement
was reached that the American
Commissioners be informed that
SPANS Commissioners must be
brought to understand promptly
that they must definitely meet
our demand for the Philippines
and accept or reject it. No for
NAL ultimatum is to be given, but the
main question is to be settled speedily,
so that the only thing the United States
treats as open to discussion, namely
the matter of compensation, may be
taken up for early disposition.
The President received this morning
the views of every member of the COM
mission based upon the information
that they have received and considered.
and arguments submitted by the Span
ish commissioners as to the policy the
United States should pursue respecting
the Philippines. From what could be
gathered there is apparently some per-
sonal difference of opinion at least
among the commissioners as to the ex-
tent to which the United States
should go in taking territory in the far
East. 1t was reported that Senator
Gray was opposed to acquiring any ter
ritory in the far East except for coal
ing station, and that a serious differ
ence had arisen between himself and
the other commissioners. but this was
informed was absolutely untrue.
The action of the President in call
ing for the views of the American rep
resentatives is considered highly sig
nificant, and the authorities were very
much averse to discussing them in
any way. But it was stated that the
commission had been informed that the
matter would be left to their judgment,
and to expedite the negotiations as rap
idly as possible.
It is the desire Of the President that
the treaty shall be ratified by the time
Congress meets next month. 1t is ap-
preciated that such expedition will nee
essarily mean the making Of important
concessions to the Spanish commits
sioners, as they will undoubtedly resist
as long as possible the transfer of SOW
ereignty over the entire archipelago to
the United States.

G PARIS, Nov. 12.-The Gaulois 6
g this afternoon. after referring to &
g the Philippine question as pre- s
g senting serious complications, 6
g says:
6 THE thing to be faced is no {
. longer a renewal of the conflict 6
G between America and Spain, ow- s
G ing to a rupture of the negotia- 6
g lions, but general European {
g conflict. The Fashoda incident 6

g feels that something uncomfort- {
s. able is in the air. Spain knows &
9 that resistance upon her part, Z

9 chance of success, and she Is Z
g looking for a friend in Europe. {
g Before Fashoda any such search &
= would be useless, but now Eng Z
G land is anxious to satisfy her 6

g serts that Great Britain is try {
G. ing to bring about an offensive c
G and defensive alliance with the {
@ United States, of which alliance, {

G She will induce the United :
