GEq. LEONARD WOOD.
Col. Roosevelf'x Description OF An Ameri-
can Soldier Of the Highest Type.
Scribufr,s

Seminars.
There was one friend who was steadily
in Washington This was AN Army Sur
geon, DIR. Leonard Wood | only met him
after | entered the Navy Department, but
we soon found that we had kindred tastes
and kindred principles. He had served
in Gen. Miles's incOnceivably harassIng
campaigns against the ApacheS. where
he had displayed such courage that he
won that most coveted of distinctions
the medal of honor; such extraordinary
physical strength and endurance that he
grew TO be recognized as one OF the two
or three white men who could stand ia
tigue and hardship as well as an Apache;
and such JUDGMENT that toward the close
of the campaigns he was given, though a
SIR eon the actual command OF more
than one expedition against the bands OF
renegade Indians.
Like so many of the gallant fighters
with whom it was later my good fortune
to serve ne combined, in a very high de-
gree, the qualities of entire manllness
with entire uprightness and cleanliness
of character. 1t was pleasure to deal
with man OF high ideals, who scorne q
everything mean and base, and who also
possessed those robust and hardy quail
ties of body and mind, for the lack OF
which no merely negative virtue can ever
atone.
He was nature soldier of the high
est type, and, like most natural soldiers,
he was, of course, born with a keen long
ing for adventure; and, though an excel
lent doctor, what he really desired was
the chance to lead men in some kind OF
htztrd. To every possibility of such adj
venture he paid quick attention.

Catarrh Of the Stomach.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
Efectual Cure for it.

Catarrh OF the stomach has long been con-
sidered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are full or blpating sensl-
ton after eating accompanied sometimes with
sour or waterv TiSlDgS. 4 formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle appe-
tite, nervousness and a general played out,
langud feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show Shiny,
intlamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble IS found in treatment which causes
food to lie readily. thoroughly digested before
it has time to ferment and lrritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure 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.. Harlandson the safest and
best treatment is to use after each meal
tablet composed of DiaStase, Aseptic Pepsin.
a little Nux, Golden Seal, and fruit acids
These tablets can now be found ut all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being patent medicine can

will follow their regular use after meals.
Mr. ~ j. Booher, of 27i0 Dearborn ST..
Chicago. H., writes: "Catarrh is a local con-
dition, resulting from neglected cold in the
head, VIII reby the lining membrane of the
nose becomes intiamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh OF the stomach Medical authorities
prescribed for me for three years for catarrh

box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. cannot
find appr, pirate words to express my good
feeling. l have found flesh, appetite, and
sound rest from their use"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as we'll as the simplest aud most
convenient remedy for any form of indiges-
ton, catarrh of the stomach, biliou-ness, sour
stomach, heartburn and bl"ating after meals.

of any sort to make.

one problem of the campaign and it taxed

A DAY OF SUSPENSE.
Operatives at New Bedford Ready to
Begin the Struggle.

Begin the Struggle.
New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 16.-Ths
has been a day of suspense in New
Bedford, citizens and operatives alike,
hoping against hope that they might
hear that the manufacturers had con-
sented to take down the notices of the
10 per cent reduction, and that the
spindles and looms of the nine groups
Of mills Involved in the strike might, on
Monday morning, take up the work of
the week as usual. Nothing has hap
pened. however to avert the impending
struggle.
In the churches, some of the ministers
alluded to the situation in their prayers.
Rev. John Stewart, at the North Bap-
fist Church, which includes many oper-
atives in it's congregation, during his
sermon spoke in justification of the re-
sistance to the reduction, but warned
his parishioners to avoid anything which
would take from them the sympathy Of
the public.
In the Wamsutta, the Bristol, Pierce,
Grinnell, Acushneu and Hathaway
mills, the weavers, at least, have been
given to understand by their overseers
shat the new schedule, even under the
10 pen. cent reduction notice, would give
them wages which would be practically
no reduction. The operatives, who are
determined to strike, look upon these
promises with divided views and there
is an open question as to now many of
them, will in the belief of what has
been told them, attempt to go into the
mills in the morning. Should some try
to go to work, it is feared there may
be trouble. The city has been very
quiet today

FIGHT IN BIDDEFoRD.
Operatives There Will Not Report for
Work Today.

Biddeford, Me, Jan 16.-Tomorrow
morning a labor war which promises to
be the most bitter ever known in this
city will be inaugurated by the $500 tex
tile workers in the Pepperell and La
coma cotton mills. Mass meetings have
been held by the operatives almost con-
tinually since sunrise, and plans have
been mapped out for conducting the
struggle of labor against capital. Today
the web drawers and slashers held a
meeting and unanimously voted to
strike Their action was reported at a
big mass meeting, and was received with
tremendous applause and cheers by the
operatives.
AT this meeting the non- union EN-
ployees organized, and all favored
striking in the morning. The mule
spinners tonight voted 10 join forces
with the other operatives end resist all
cut downs. The mill gates; Will be
opened as usual IN the morning, but if
only a small number go to work they
will be dismissed and the mill gates will
be locked. No trouble is anticipated
around the mill gates in the morning, as
the union men have been cautioned not
to loaf around the entrances The
operatives are much in earnest and say
they will fight to the bitter end.

ginning of an industrial battle greater
in extent and more disastrous in effect
than any in the previous history of cot

The battle against the corporations
undoubtedly would have been fought ev-
erywhere had not the voice of men and
women who are ill-prepared at this time
of the year to go into enforced idleness,
been needed by those who are classed as
conservatives. AS it is, the great ma

take upon themselves the task of forci-
