 rence-More Than Twenty Dead. and Many Crushed and Manaied by Falling Beams-story of an Eyewitness.
 Hogansburg, N. r.. Sept 1.-Two south spans of the International bridge of the New York and Ottawa railroad. now under construction across the St. Lawrence river, about three miles above St. Regis Indian village. fell without warning while about 50 men were at work on the bridge yesterday. All We. e thrown into the river. some 60 feet be- low
 Thirty-three were picked up and talk en to Cornwall hospital. Eighteen of these died afterward- About 27 are now missing.
 The bridge consists of three spans. of which two were completed. and the third was nearly finished when the south pier gave way at its foundation, causing both spans to fall, taking It's load of human freight with 1t
 The names of the killed and drowned cannot at present be ascertained, as, excepting a few Indians from the St. Regis reservation, they were mostly from Pennsylvania.
 AS far as can be learned s7 men were on the pay roll of the bridge contract ors, of whom 82 reported for work yes- terday morning. Of this long list only S8 have actually been accounted for. Allowing that. some of those unaccount- ed for will turn up after the excite ment. the list of dead and injured will in all likelihood reach 25 and may Jreach 90.
 Among those thrown into the river was the foreman. Thomas F. Brady Cor Bricerly), whose home Is in Pottsville. Pa. He had not been accounted for up to late hour last night and Is suppos- ed to be at the bottom of the river.
 Just before dark the dead body of an Indian laborer was picked up on the Cornwall side. There was only a slight bruise on his forehead. He probably was stunned by the fall and drowned before help came.

NO FAITH CURE
STUART'S DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS
They Cure Stomach Troubles and In
digestion Anyway. Whether
You Have Faith in
Them Or Not

Mere faith will not digest your
food for you, will not give an ap-
petite, will not increase your flesh
and strengthen your nerves and
heart, But Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will do these things, be-
cause they are composed of the
elements OF digestion, they CON
tain the juices, acids and pep
tones necessary to the digestion
and assimilation of all wholesome
food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will digest food if placed in a jlr
or bottle in water heated to 0S
degrees, and they will do it much
more effectively when taken into
the stomach after meals, Wheth-
er you have faith that they will
or not.
They invigoratc the stomach,
make pure blood and strong
nerves, in the only way that
nature can do it, and that is,
pl .nty of wholesome food well
digested. 1t is not what we eat,
but what we digest that does us
good.
Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets are
sold by nearly all druggists at
80 cents for full siz d package, or

rived home Sunday morning on

a man, looking we'll and strong,
and say Uncle Sans fare agreed

friends are nightly pleased to
see the boys among us again, and
for thirty days, the time of their
furlOugh, the uniform Of the
United States soldier will sprinkle
our streets, after which the boys
will report to Tallahassee to be
finally discharged. While they
were disappointed in not getting
TO Cuba where the fighting took
place, our boys have every rea-
son to feel proud of their record,
which stands second to none for
discipline, obedience and good SER
vice. Their whole corps is proud
OF the high record made by the
Florida troops, and no company's
record is better than that of Com
pany A. They did their duty,
answered promptly, willingly and
cheerfulIy the call to arms of
their country, and did with their
might the task that their govern
ment set before them, which is
probably to the tru" soldier the
hardest and most lrksOme-that

Venality is not confined to the French
newspapers. & suit has recently been
instituted against the Austrian govern
ment by the editor Of the Reichsweht
at Vienna, who has published docu-
ments showing an agreement between
himself and the authorized representa-
tive of Count Badeni, the eX-Minister,
by virtue of which he was to make his
paper the organ OF the government and
control it for a certain sum. It was
further stipulated that if in three sue
cessive cases the orders of the govern
ment were not carried out the sub
vention was to be withdrawn and the
money returned. Up to the time OF
Count Badeni's fall this editor had re-
ceived 215,000 forms. 1t has also been
disclosed that two more Vienna daily
papers are in receipt of regular large
subventions, to say nothing Of smaller
sums paid to less influential journals.

MUST GOTO PRISON.
Ex-Treasurer Barley of Nebraska
Doomed to Wear Stripes.

Ex-Treasurer BARLEY of Nebraska
Doomed to Wear Stripes.
The twenty year penitentiary sentence
OF eX-State Treasurer Joseph S. BARLEY
was affirmed by the supreme court. Bart
ley was convicted of embezzement.
Joseph S. Bartley was elected to the
Office of state treasurer and began his term
in January, 1893. He was reelected two
years later, serving two terms. At the
expiration of his second term he failed to
account for more than $50O,OO0. Part of
this was warrant for some S1S1, 900 to re-
imburse the sinking fund. On April "a,
1897, BARLEY was arrested and charged
with embezzlement. His trial lasted from
June 8 till the %, when the jury
returned verdict of guilty. A motion
for new trial was Immediately
filed and argued. On June 26 Judge Baker
overruled the motion for a new trial and
sentenced BARLEY to term of twenty
years in the penitentiary, at the same time
imposing fine of 1903, ,76S.9o, or double
the amount that the jury found he had
embezzled. On June q the case was
taken tat the supreme court, where that
tribunal fixed Bartley's bail at s125, 900
pending the final hearing. Having been
unable to give bail, BARLEY has since re-
mained in Jail.

University Year Closes.

The University of Nebraska has juss
closed the most prosperous year in its
entire history. The total enrolment of
unrepeated names reached 1,9l6, more
than 250 in excess of the highest attend
ance last year. This growth is most graf
flying, and the fact the increase is shared
about equally by all departments shows
Nebraska's state university is keeping
pace with the state in its steady growth.
1t is worthy of note that the preparatory
department has merely held its own while
all other departments have proited by the
largely increased attendance. Owing to
the death of the high school law, it was
found necessary to keep up more of the
preparatory work than was at first in
tended, but the board of regents hopes 10
be able to drop the department entirely in
the course of two or three years. The
graduating class is much larger than ever
before, there being 20S candidates for de-
greeS in the various departments.

Ing Is now practically completed In the more
northerly sections and the crop has received
Its last cultivation in the Southern States.
where it Is suffering from drought.
In the principal corn States Of the central
valleys the week has been exceptionally
favorable for growth and cultivation. and
the crop is generally clean and in good con-
dition. In Nebraska and portions of Mis-
souri,, however, cultivation has been delayed
by rains. and in North Dakota 1t is back
