M'KINLEY At OMAHA.
The City Gorgeously Decorated in
Honor Of the President.
Al OVATION GIVEN Hin IN IOWA.


Omaha, Neb, Oct 12--President
Mckinley and the other members Of
the presidential party from Washing.
ton were greeted on their arrival In
Omaha by the largest crowd that has
ever lined the streets of the city. For
several hours before the train reached
the depot the sidewalks along the
streets over which the president was
to pass were densely packed by citi.
zens Of Omaha and visitors from all
parts of the country who have come to
participate in the peace jubilee cele.
bration, and the welcome that was &C.
corded to the head Of the national
government was enthusiastic in the
extreme.
At the depot to welcome the distin.
guished guests to the city were King
Ak Sar Ben Nv. in person and the
board Of governors Of the knights Of
Ak Sar Ben and also the equestrian
club of south Omaha The festival Of
Ak Sar Ben was held last week, but
the knights assembled to welcome the
president In line Of carriages the
party started for the hotel. Along the
whole line the crowds on each side of
the street and in every window kept
up a continuous ovation. The build.
ings were gorgeously decorated.
At the city hall the party alighted
and the visitors were assigned to seats
on temporary platform from which
they reviewed q magnificent parade Of
40 floats. The floats were the same
which had taken part during last
week In the Ak Sar Ben parade OF
Tuesday and the electric. parade OF
Thursday and the two gorgeous pa.
rades combined made great spectacle.
The president left the train for the
first time at Cedar Rapids, and from q
platform addressed for few minutes
the thousands who had gathered to
pay their respects to him. His re.
marks were brief and touched briefly
upon the war, as we'll as commenda-
tory remarks regarding the western
states. At Dixon and Sterling, where
brief stops were made, the crowds
were so dense that hundreds could not
even obtain glimpse OF the presi.
dent. Mr. Mckinley made no attempt
to talk at these points, but occupied
the time with shaking hands,
The largest crowd OF the trip had
gathered at Clinton. Here Senator
Allison, Congressman Curtis and Gov.
Shaw and staff boarded the train.
After the cheering Of the people had
subsidized President Mckinley made a
short speech.
The stop at Mount Vernon, the seat
OF Cornell university, was so brief
that the president only had time to
say, II am very glad to meet you all"
Tumultuous cheering was indication
enough Chat the crowd was equally
glad. After Mr.. Mckinley entered his
car he remarked to Senator Allison:
THAT Is the best speech have made
yet"
The gathering Of people at Cedar
Rapids broke the days record for mum.

STATEMENT BY ALGER.


Washington, Oct. 12--The warm
tigating commission devoted It's session
yesterday to the examination OF Secre-
tary Algers statement and the papers
furnished him in reply to the commits
sions' inquiries, The accompanying pa
pers include the reports from the va
rious bureaus Of the war department,
and also various letters and kilograms
bearing upon the conduct Of the war.
Secretary Alger in his report replies to
the various questions propounded by
the commission, but he gives es-
pecial prominence to the plan Of
campaign and to the changes that
were made in the original plans. He
states that Tampa was chosen as the
base OF operations because Of its prox-
unity to Havana, at which point it
was originally intended the landing
should be made. The determination
to make change was due to- the
developments on the southern coast of
Cuba and TO Admiral Cervera's course
in locating his fleet in the bay Of San.
tiago. When it became quite certain
that he was securely entrapped, Ad-
miral Sampson wired the fact to the
secretary Of the navy asking that
troops be sent Immediately. He said
that he had silenced the batteries
which were accessible from the sea
and that 10000 men could capture the
town within As hours The text Of this
message is given, as Is the text
OF various other kilograms showing
the cause Of delay in getting the expe.
dition off. The report shows that
Gen. Miles advised in the beginning
that the first move should be made
against Porto Rico and that after that
island should be subjugated, that the
American forces should be landed on
the north coast Of Cuba at some point

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 inteL5ad for a medicine. and peo-
pie who use 1t as such will some day re-
gret 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 mechanical lrritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels,
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated in the intestines, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach,
(acid dyspepsa) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name Of
Suart'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.
Or. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements, and finds
them certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create 4 healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action Of
the heart and liver, They are not ca
thartc. but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness, and viii be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 50 cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed
