TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEP STA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean. Make Test Of stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience Of an indianapolis
Gentle man.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having 1t think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight of; the stom-
ach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep-
sia shows itself not in the stomach so
much as I'm nearly every other organ;
in some cases the heart palpitates and
is irregular; in others the kidneys are
affected; in others the bowels are con-
stipated, with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and ap-
petite, with accumulation of gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Pros
pect St., indianapolis, Ind, writes as
follows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines
regarding the new and valuable medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
have been a sufferer from nervous dys-
pepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable
result. They sometimes gave tempor-
ary relief until the effects of the medi-
cine wore off. l attribute this to my
sedentary habits. being a bookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but l am
glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles, for have
gained in flesh, sleep better and am
better in every way. The above is
written not for notoriety, but is based
on actual fact"
Respectfully yours,
A. w. Sharper,
81 Prospect ST., Indianapolis, Ind.
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of

loss of flesh and appetite. sleepless-

tion and headache.

The Butte and Anaconda racing sea-

This event promises to eclipse the Labor

The meeting Of Scottish Chieftain, Sena-
tor Bland, Ostler Joe and Tempo. under

senator Bland has three pounds on

Chieftain on six pounds better terms.

One of the North Dakota Volunteers
Writes From Cavite About the
Way the Trip From Hon.

f. f. Gibbs, a member Of the North

San Francisco on the transport snip

follows:

fire. 1t killed seven of them. IL Is

dropped back INTO the entertainments

Mr.. Gibbs also kept a diary during the
voyage from Honolulu. and each day
noted therein items of interest. The
Valencia left Honolulu at . o'clock on

downs of the Morgan City, Ohio and
other ships and the Valencia had "a
stop nearly every day to allow the Nor

ships passed the 1S0th meridian and
thereby gained a day of time. on the
10th the Morgan City lost a man over

hour. but without success. About this
date Mr.. Gibbs writes that the men on
board were getting ugly on account OF
the long and tiresome voyage. There
were three fights i'm one day.

the best the Valencia could possibly do
was II knots. There were only two

Rains Have Done Some Damage to Hay

L. ]. Glass. section director for Mon

bulletin, complete to Sept. 6:
Heavy showers have characterized
the week in nearly all sections. The
rains have done some damage to the
hay and grain, causing considerable
losses II some localities; but they nave
been very beneficial in eXtinguishlng
prairie fires, and helpful to the pastures
and in putting the ground in condition
for fall blowing. Hail has fallen In
some portions. Some correspondents
report light frosts, but no damage 10
crops. The temperature has been, on
the whole. too cool for maturing the
late grain. The heavy rains have I'M
peded the harvesting of hay, some OF
which has been damaged.
The grain is nearly all in and thresh-
ing is general throughout the state,
although i'm some sections II is stu ne
ing cut. The wheat crop is, in general.
the best crop; but in some Localities the
grain is showing signs of smut. the
hail storms have done considerable
harm to grain. 1t is estimated that
from 30 20 20 per cent. of the crop mas
been lost in some places. Som grain

4 Return Engagement of the Excellent
Comedy The New Dominion"


Comedy The New Dominion"
1t is doubtful II ever the Margaret
theater held an audience of men and
women who were better pleased, who
had the pathos in the depths Of their
natures more deeply stirred, or an au-
dience who laughed oftener, longer and
louder than that which saw Clay Glenn
ent as Baron Hohenstauffen, and the
excellent company supporting him,
when they presented Mr.. Clements
play. The New Dominion" last Mon
day night. IL was a comedy treat OF
the rarest over offered in this city, and,
while there was a good audience pres
emit. there should not have been one
vacant seat in the house, when the
merit Of the play and the players are
taken into consideration.
The management of the Margaret
theater is certainly to he congratulate
ed that they have secured a return
date from Mr.. Clement before he fin
ally leaves the state for the East. He
will present The New Dominion in
Anaconda again on Friday night, Sept
9Th. and no n enjoys something
really good should fail to be present.
