Gus Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is form OF indi-
gestion resulting from fermentation of the
food. The stomach being too weak TO di-
gest 1t, the food remains until fermenta-
tiOn begins, filling the stomach with gas,
and bitter. sour, burning taste in the
mouth is often present. This condition
soon becomes chronic and being an every
day occurrence is given but little atten-
tion. Because dyspepsia is not imme-
diately fatal, many people do nothing for
the trouble.
Within recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspep-
sa and stomach troubles. II is known as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is becoming
rapidly used and prescribed as radical
cure for every form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
all druggists for so cents per package. 1t
is prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co, Mar
SHALL Mich, and while it promptly and
effectually restores a vigorous digestion,
at the same time is perfectly harmless and
will not injure the most delicate stomach,
but on the contrary by giving perfect dl-
gcstion strengthens the stomach. improves
the appetite and makes life worth living.

GIVES THEM THE SLIP.
AEuinaldo Escapes from the Trap
Laid for Him by Gems. Young
and Wheaton.

Manila, Nov. 90, 1850 p. m.-Agui-
naldo has escaped between Gems. Young
and Wheaton. Gen. Young is pushing
toward Bayambang.
The military officials here fear that
Aguinaldo has been successful in CIV
ing Gems. Macarthur, Wheaton and
Lawton the slip, and that he is now in
the northern part of the island. They
also fear that he has succeeded in talk
ing with him good-sized army, to-
gether with the greater part OF the
artillery which the insurgents are
known to have had.
In the opinion Of the military authori-
ties the escape of the insurgent leader
means the changing of the seat of war
to the northern part of the island. The
fear of Agunaldo's escape is intensified
by the silence of Gems. Lawton and
Young. for the authorities in Manila
now think that these officers have
passed beyond the range of communica-
tion while attempting to overt AXE Agui-
naldo in the northern mountains. No
fear is expressed for the safety of their
commands.
The whereabouts of Gems. Lawton
and Young is becoming as mysterious
| as Aguinaldo's. The belief is begin
ming to grow at Manila that Gen. Law
ton has struck the trail of the insur-
gent government" and is pursuing the
ministers into the Binqua mountains.
| IT has been his ambition to capture the
| Filipino leaders, and he and Gen. Young
believe that cavalry brigade, living on
| the country. can run them down to any
part of the island. One vague report
brought by Spanish prisoners is that

rounded by Americans soon after the
