FLEET WILL BE
FORMIDABLE
Twenty New Vessels Now in Various
Stages of Advancement, and Ma
terials are Being Gathered for
Thirty-Five Others.

NEW York, Oct. ia dispatch 10
the Tribune from Washington says:
The remarkable rapiditY with which
the naval power of the United States is
being increased at the present time may
be realized when it is stated that fifty
five war vessels are now under contract
for the government, and their tonnage
far exceeds that of the vessels building
at any one time during the civil war.
This vast construction program, which
has excited more attention abroad than
at home, has been authorized gradually
by congress, until the vessels soon to be
completed will place the United States
third in rank among the sea powers.
IN addition to the enormous fleet, in
Guiding auxiliaries, actually in compile
tion at the present time, twenty vessels
are in various stages of readiness, and
the ship-builders are hurriedly gather
ing material for thirty five others. OF
the fifty-fve vessels, eight are frst-class,
heavily armored, sea-going battleships,
thirty eight are torpedo boats, four are
monitors and one is a powerful cruiser.
Chief CONSTRUCTION Hicborn has COM
pleted a tabulated statement, showing
the degree of completion of the twenty
vessels now nearly ready for commission
or rapidly approaching that condition
from which it appears that seventeen oi
these vessels have already been launched
and five others will be afoat before the
first of the year.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
it was never intended for medicine,
and people who use it as such will some
day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people practice
almost daily, and one which is fraught
with danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and IN the end
the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it ac-
cumulated in the intestines, causing
death by Inflammation or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has
time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver. They are not a
cathartic, but intended only for stomach
di2eases and weakness and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at SOC per package.

DEATH OF MRS.
GEER AT OMAHA
Wife of the Governor Elect of Ore gOn
Expired Suddenly this Morning
Heart Disease the Cause.
first of the year.

OMAHA, Oct. 13.-Mrs. Nancy Geer,
wife of T. T. Geer, governor elect of the
state of Oregon, died at Barket hotel
this morning, shortly after midnight,
from disease of the heart. A physician
was summoned when the attack seized
Mrs. Geer, but she was beyond help.
The remains will be started for Salem
this afternoon.
Mrs. Geer was for some time affected
with heart trouble, When she arrived
in the city Tuesday with her husband,
she was tired, and this probably brought
on the fatal attack, although she was
about the hotel even yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geer were married
twenty-eight years ago in Union county.
Mrs. Geer was formerly a Mrs. Bate.
She was. born in Missouri and married
at very early age, coming in 1864 with
her father and husband across the plains
to Oregon, settling in Union county.
Tie following year Bate mysteriously
disappeared, and from that day to now
no word from him has ever been heard.
Five years later, when preparing for her
marriage with Mr.. G eer, Mrs. Bate, as
matter of precaution formally obtained
divorce.

SEN. PRlTCHARD INJURED
ALMOST DROWNED IN A RAGING NOUN
TAIN TORRENT.
leo Badly Hurt to Attend the Republican Con
vention but Wrote a Letter TO Post
master Bailey.

State Senator James l.. Hyatt, Of
Yancey county, who is here attending the
Republican convention, says that on last
Sunday while ON his way to attend court
at huntsville Senator Pritchard was Sc
rously injured. The Forks of Ivy was
much swollen by heavy rains. The Sen
ator attempted to cross and was swept
down stream 30 or 40 yards and washed
from his vehicle. He finally succeeded
in reaching land, but received a serious
wound in the leg and deep cash in the
face. The vehicle and the Senators va
lise were lost. 1t was Il close call and
the Senator was not able to attend the
convention because of his injuries.
A letter received here by Postmaster
Bailey from Senator Pritchard gives
much the same version of the accident.
AS the Senator would hardly have writ
ten to the postmaster merely to detail
his personal injuries it is to be inferred
that he also touched on politics. Mr. Bal
ley stated that in the letter Senator
Prltchard did not recommend that steps
be taken to secure fusion with the POpu-
lists The letter was turned over to Con
gresham Pearson for safe keeping.

PEN DIRECTORS MEET

MOUSLY APPROVED.
After Which Arduous Labors Waermelons were
Served and they Came Back

The board of directors Of the penniten-
tiary held its meeting at that in

board was in session about an hour ana
a half. Nothing but routine business
was transacted so far as could he
learned.
The eminent gentlemen were not
counting notoriety and Temporary Chair-
man Clark said the question of publlca
ton of the proceedings would have to be
considered by the board before anything
could be given ont. Possibly the board
has a treat in store for the public.

This morning the board meets again
when individual members will submit

Tertiary. consider Castle Hayne farm.
and will inspect Warden Russel's new
gratings and trap doors. and review the
Second Battalion of Prison Guards. The
proceedings of the previous meeting will
also be edited for publication.
After the business had been transact
ed yesterday watermelons were served
in the council chamber and then the
board hurried away to get the news.
There is a simultaneity about the meet
ing Of the board of directors and the
meeting of the Republican convention
that is suggestive. The State pays the ex-
penses Of the director of the peniten-
tiary when he comes to the capital it
does not pay his expenses when he
