ADVERTISEMENTS.
 HEALTH CATECHISM. - To Be Committed to Memory by All Dyspeptics, Invalids and
 ConsumptiVeS.

What is the first cause of nine-tenths of all disease?
 Imperfect digestion of food
 Why does imperfect digestion cause disease of other organs?
 Because blood, nerves, muscles, bone and flesh are derived from the food we eat and digest. If digestion is perfect the blood is pure, nerves and muscles strong, flesh firm. If the digestion is poor, the blood is supplied from half digested, fermenting food, irritating every nerve and organ. The result is, sooner or later, organic disease, be- cause: every organ being poorly nour- fished the weakest gives way first and we have liver trouble, kidney com plaints, heart disease or consumption.
 Is not dieting the usual and best treatment to cure indigestion?
 No, because the dyspeptic has been starved long: enough; what is needed is abundant nourishment, not the lack of it. The stomach and blood demand nutriment, not bran crackers.
 What is the best method of cure?
 Plenty of wholesome food we'll di gested.
 But how can a weak stomach digest plenty of wholesome food?
 By taking with the food after each meal certain harmless remedies which are KnOWn 10 digest IOOu anu LIluS nourish the blood and rest the weak stomach.
 What are these harmless remedies?
 The most valuable are vegetable fer ments, pure pepsin, Golden Seal and fruit salts. All of these are now com- bined in the form of pleasant tasting tablets sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. E Are these tablets superior to the va rious liquid preparations so-called dy- spepsia cures?
 Most decidedly because all liquid medicines become stale with age and lose whatever good qualities they may have had originally, while the tablet re- tains it's properties indefinitely. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be carried in the pocket, always at hand ready for use when travelling or at daily occupa- tion. They cost but 50 cents and should be kept in every family. They keep the digestion perfect and save doctors bills by warding off disease.
 Are Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets adapted to all forms of dyspepsia?
 Yes. because in all cases the trouble results from indigested, fermenting food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cause the food to be digested before it has time to ferment.
 If you wish to know more about them ask your druggist for package and try them.

WARNED AGAINST SPANISH SPIES
Representatives of Powder Works Receive Timely Tip From Cap
 tain Bailes.

ST. LOUIS, April 3o.-Local represen- tatives of powder manufacturing con- cerns were warned to-day that two Spanish spies were in town and were planning to blow up powder mills and magazines near St. Louis.
 The information was laid before Chief of Detectives Desmond and he imme- diately detailed men to investigate. The informant is Captain H. J. Bailes of the Cuban insurgent army, who has been in St. Louis about month. His statements are positive and he says these men have been, gathering every possible bit of information about St Louis. A third was with them, but he has gone to New York. The other two, Captain Bailes said, visited Jefferson Barracks and left for Eureka Mo, to- day. The powder magazines of a num- Der of St. Louis powder companies are situated at Eureka and telegrams of warning have been sent there.

SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS :
 ... WED AT SAN RAFAEL
Dusky Aristocrats United for: Life < According to the Christian
 Rites +''<

SAN RAFAEL, April 30.-Cupid Bon neau was considerably surprised few days ago while engaged In the marriage license traffic, accustomed as he is to incidents of peculiar nature, to have good-looking South Sea Islander, dressed in immaculate style, drop into the office and ask for the document that would make himself and some dusky belle one. The novelty of the affair lay not in the application for a license and the appearance of the man so much as it did in the explanation given.
 You see," remarked the applicant, with a suave smile, 1T came here several years ago from Tanning Island and brought my sweetheart with me. We entered the bonds of matrimony in accordance with the regular tribal customs, but residence under the protection of the American eagle has civilized us somewhat. A day or two ago my wife came to me and explained that some Caucasian friends had informed her we were not living ac- cording to the rules laid down by Hoyle j; so I guess I want a marriage license"
 Bonneau gave the man the license and he went away happy, to be united later to his inamorata by q Christian minister in the parlors of the Tamalpais Hotel.

 Clipper. Gap: Conapany'ss Plant in Placer. County :. :. Destroyed.
Disaster Suppoeed to: Have Been '~' Caused by:a Bolt of Lightning
 During a Storm.

AUBURN, April 30.-Buildings in Au- burn shook quite perceptibly at 5:90 o'clock tonight As it had been thun- dering. and lightning, most of the citi- zens thought nothing of it, but those living on an eminence saw a pun or white smoke to. the north. which seemed to go up and explode: like bai- ioon.: Some heard a report.
 Soon word came that the Clipper Gap powder works had blown up.. The re- port was. soon verified, and it was found the glazing and wheel mills had been struck by lightning and the pow der contained therein exploded, reduc- ing the buildings to splinters. One man, Levi Hill, an old .empfoye, who had worked with powder for fifteen years, was killed. .,:..-.
 Superintendent ". H. .Gaffett says the damage is comparatively slight. The works had been running only since Monday of this week, having been shut down several months. But 5000 pounds of powder was blown up, and the dam age to buildings and all will not amount to more than. $500 ..,. .. :"You can say" said Gaffett, that the lightning struck both the glazing and the wheel mills simultaneously, and that no internal Span1ard had any thing to do with it. The only lament able part of it was the death of poor Hill We will be running again in four or five days.''
 :. The Clipper Gap powder works are located on the main line of the Gen. tral Pacific. seven miles above Auburn. The works are the property of the Giant Powder Company of San Fran cisco. and manufacture black powder solely. This is the third explosion at the works, the first one killing several men, and the second doing great dam age to property All have taken place in<the glazing mill The powder manu- faetured here was used in the mines.
