40 per cent of the volunteers are un-

The Roman Emperors preserved
peace by constant preparation for
war, and 1 take it this is the mission
of the National Guard in conjunction
with the regular army in times of
peace to prepare the citizen for war
when it does come.
Our National Guardsanan Of to-day
is a volunteer. Did not he enter the
volunteers without changing his or
ganization in 1898? Why was the Ma
tional Guardsman accepted in place of
many good and patriotic citizens of the
State at large, who volunteered their
services? Because he had the benefit
of organization and the 100000 patri-
otic volunteers would have been but a
well meaning mob had it not been for
the National Guard training during the
long period of peace. 1t was the leaven
of that system that enabled the Presi-
dent to call forth and put into action
that splendid army inside of two
many of their best soldiers? They are
in our city to-day recruiting for the
army at Manila, and they are taking
many of the men who have been in the
guard to fill up their ranks We need
experienced soldiers, for in war moth
ing can supply the want of experience,
however brave nation may be. 1t is
not the gun that is the weapon, but
the trained man behind the gun. Not
the bullets of the enemy that are dam
gerous, but the skill with which they
are aimed at our lines The volunteer
needs also to learn, not alone in fight
ing, but in caring for himself. The
Comte de Paris says: AT the outbreak
of the Civil War the inexperience of
the volunteers was made evident even
more on the march than ON the battle
field"
Let US, then, get behind the Ma
tional Guard, support it as one of the
best systems of our Government No
man can tell when war will come upon
US. Give it your support. We need
the glad hand and good will of the
gray-haired men who have fought in
other years. We need the traditions
that you will hand down to us. The
National Guard of to-day has fought
battles 1900 miles apart almost on
the same day. We have fought side by
side with the regular under a good
many drawbacks. We had smoky
powder; they had smokeless We had
the old-time musket; they had the
Krag Jorgensen, but wherever called
into action they did splendidly
The mission of the National Guard,
the volunteer and the regular is one
and the same-the perretuation of the
nations honor and the defense of the
nations flag.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but Efectual
Cure for 1T.

Cure for It.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usual symptoms are full or
bloated sens alton after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
Tisings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the lungs and heart and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and general played
out and languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the inte-
rior of stomach could be seen it would
show a Shiny, infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate disease is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily aud
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mus
cousf surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy diges-
tion is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion Is secured
the catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet. composed of Diastase, AS
ceptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
anu 1Iull dclQS.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a
patent medicine. can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from a ne
elected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infiamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom. passing back into the throat,
reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical au-
thorities prescribed for me three years
for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but to-day 1 am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stuart's
: Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro-
PIRATE words to express my good feel
ing. 1 have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est preparation as we'll as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form of indigestion, catarrh of the
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach
heartburn and bloating after meals.

arose and rushed for the foyer. Strong,
cool voices recalled them to reason, and
after some confusion they returned to
their seats The incident at the time
did not deeply impress us. But refiec-
ton suggests that the mishap might
have resulted in a panic tragic in re-
suits, though the exit facilities of the
opera-house on all sides are unsur-
passed, probably unequalled. The man.
agement is so anxious to discover who
the disturbers were that it is prepared
to pay a liberal reward for information

after greater care than ever will be
taken to prevent the repetition of the
incident. Men who in a crowded thea
ter will be guilty of creating a dis
turbance such as may lead to a panic

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Belasco-Tha1l company had fine
audience at the operahouse last even
ing. About as varied a performance
was presented as one might wish to
see The clever, though rather ex-
tended three-act comedy, Lost for a
Day" came first, given with much
spirit, and introduced Miss Grogan in a
leading part, a petite and handsome
juvenile soubrette of good ability. She
assumed later in 1.-The First Born the
part of Loey Using" a role created by
May Buckley, and with whom she was
thrown into strong contrast. 1t is due
to her to say that she bore the ordeal
we'll and made the pathetic part of the
slave girl touching and effective piece
of acting The First Born" was we'll
played with many of the original char
acters. Mr.. Osbourne as the Chinese
doctor, the creator Of the part, of
course stood foremost. 1t is justice to
say that Mr.. DenithoIne's Chang
Wang is a decided advance upon the
same character in the hands of Mr.
Powers, the author of this strong and
tragic two-act drama. 1t was a more
vivid, natural and emotional work,
virile and full of the passion Of grief
and the terror of vengeance. The pipe
bowl mender of Mr.. Bates we are pre-
pared to say is a more artistic work
than that of the creator of the part,
who two years ago won so much credit
for his assumption of the role. The
piece was we'll mounted lacked nothing
in scenic effectiveness and realistic col
oring. 1t is not an improvement upon
the play to have the policeman in the
last scene say a word. It was a more
effective and impressive work when as
first given, when the officer simply
crosses the stage. So. too, the reappear-
ance of the slave girl at the window
after the assassination is a mistake
1t was better as Powers gave it, to
have her close her window in alright
and with Shrek of terror when the
hatchetnan struck his murderous
blow. But to those who did not see
the play in its first years these changes
would not be significant. Originally
the curtain went down upon the tragic
last scene in dead silence on the part
of the audience, a silence making the
scene far more impressive, and paying
the art of stagecraft high compliment.
But when the officer speaks, snaps his
fingers, and bids the girl close her Win
dow, the spell of awed silence is broken,
and here and there i'll suppressed
laughter bore witness to the mistake
made in. changing the scene. Between
the plays last night bright little girl,
Little Vernie," appeared in character
songs and acts and scored a decided
hit. Master James Horne also had a
number, and sang two songs in a
strong, sweet, clear, but uncultured
soprano. One of these, when Dewey
