Several Candidates Are Already in
the Field and One County Yet
to Hear From.

Stockton, Mo-. Jan. 25.-(Special.) The
Twenty-sixth judicial district of Missouri.
consisting of Cedar. Vernon, Barton and
Dade counties. is one Of the strongest Dem
oCratic strongholds in the state. Judge Dan
P. Stratton. of Nevada, has held the
judgeship of the district for the past twelve
years. and as his term of office draws TO d
c.ose the Democratic politicians in the dis.
trict are arranging to press the demands OF
various candidates for his position.
All the counties IN the district have can
didates except Cedar. and. it is thought by
many that 1t will only be a few days until
she will be represented also, despite the
efforts of some to keep Cedar out OF the
race.

sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings, a forma.
ton of gases, causing pressure on the heart
and lungs and difficult breathing; headache
tickle appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny. inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily. thoroughly
disested before II mas a time to ferment
ard irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of
the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do. and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr.. Harlanson the safest

MEMORIAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
Trustees of American College at Har-

mag

Boston. Mass. Jan. 25.-The annual meet
ing Of the board of trustees of the Amer
lean college at Harpoot. Turkey. which is
incorporated under the laws of Massachu-
sets. was held in this city to-day. This is
the college of which about two yearsaSo the
buildings. apparatus and personal property
of the college teachers, valued at s6O. 1000.
were destroyed by alleged mobs led by
Turkish soldiers. A bill for indemnity was
nut in at once, but up to the present time
nothing has been received. The trustees to-
day authorized a memorial to President
Mckinley. calling attention to these con-
ditions. and setting forth the fact that col
lege work has been continued in rented
quarters at greatly increased cost. 1t is
declared to be very important that steps
be taken at once to restore the destroyed
buildings in order to provide for the 500
students now enrolled. 1t is represented
that the future safety of the college and
property in Turkey depends upon the assur-
ance which it may receive from the United
States government that it will protect
American property and life in that empire.
The president of the college is Rev. c. F.
Gates formerly of Chicago. He is a gradu-

Appropriation for Car
Isle SCHOOL,.

Washington. Jan. 25.-Under the pariia-
mentary fiction of discussing the Indian
appropriation bill, the house devoted al
most the entire day to a political debate In
which the main question was whether
prosperity had come to the country as q
result of the advent of the present admin
istration. AS speeches were limited to five
minute each. many members participated,
and partisan spirit kept the interest keyed
up to a high pitch. The acrimony which
usually characteriZes such debates was al
most entirely absent: but. although good
natured, some hard knocks were given and
received.
MIR. Richardson, Democrat. of Tennessee.
adduced some figures and financial authori-
ties to prove that prosperity had not yet
appeared.
IF prosperity has not returned" asked
Mi. ". a. Stone, Republican. of Pennsyl-
yania, how does it happen that in all the
Industrial regions men are employed. and
that they are not supported by charity. as
they were under the Cleveland administra-
tion?"
THE trouble with the gentleman" replied
Mr.. Richardson. lis that his premises are
all wrong. Labor is not employed in all the
industrial regions. In New England. TO-
Geo workers are now out on strike.

in the confusion Mr.. Richardson called out
that he had no desire to interfere with MIR.
Stones gubernatorial boom.
Il am glad to have the Endorsement OF
that side" replied Mr.. Stone. smiling
Mr.. Grosvenor cited the wool-raisinS in
dustry. and other examples OF what the
DinsIey law had done.
Mr.. Dockery, Democrat, of Missouri, in
discussing the cottonmill strike, contended
that the strike had been urged by the oper-
ators in order that they might dispose or
their surplus stock The trouble was we
were enormously over-producing in this
country, and. in the face of that fact, tho
Republican party was restricting ana nar-
owing our markets.
The political debate continued for an
hour. the Republicans maintaining and the
Democrats denying the existence OF pros
perity.
Mr.. Smith. Democrat. OF Arizona. made
an attack on the present system of educat-
ing the Indian. He declared that the Car
Isle and HAMPTON schools We're n mistake,
that an Indian could not be civilized by
teaching him to read and write and sing u
psalm. The Indian, he said, must receive
an industrial education. but it must be Civ
en- him in the vicinity of his home, not in
the East. In this bill he said s2,5o0.00o was
wasted.
Mr.. Walker. Republican. of Massachu-
se,ts. agreed with Mr.. Smith that the
present policy WAS unsatisfactory. Illogical
and impracticable. He moved to strike QUE
the appropriation for the Carlisle school.
