the armored train from the rebels fire.

ford the river, the general himself
wading up to his neck in getting across.
Then the capture Of the trenches on the
other side of the river was easy, and
our troops quickly took possession Of
the town, which was In flames. The
F'ilipinos left 70 dead In the trenches.
McArthur's troops added to their
daily victories on Thursday last by
capturing Apalit, together with 20

But M uCes.
SALEM. Feb. 16. 1899

sSALEM, rep. 10, 1888.
Last Wednesday was the most excit-
nag day of the present session. The
O&eat mutes came in from the school
to attend, in body. the sitting of our
lawmakers. and see how laws were
made. The lesson learned was not evi.
. re0tly, a profitable one, since the deco
rum of several persons on the floor of
Nthe house during the forenoon session
was not up to the standard grade which
At is supposed lawmakers would assume.
This lack of good conduct was caused
by comment and debate which was be-
ing held in regard to the merits and de-
fects of the proposed Daily school text
book commission law.
The afternoon was taken up in the
house with consideration in committee
~ot the whole, Moody in the chair, of the
three appropriation bills. The sums
1a0aed in these three bills, which have
been passed upon by the committee, ag-
gregate 81 1872 ,924.62, and of this sum
the asylum gets 1897 $50, or a sum
Wtlich is $3,641.80 greater than one
Ehird of the total sums allowed for the
rznning expenses of the state, besides
Ghe large Gums allowed for schools, fol
extending several wings on public build
Tag, and other large sums paid for claims
against the state. From this, it seems
chat this same asylum is something of {
graft itself.
Today work in both houses is being
rapidly pushed through, and great ef
forts are being made to finish up the la
saors of this body by Saturday night.

CATARRH OF Z
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple: but Safe and Eff
fecual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or boat-
ing sensation after eating, accom- panied
sometimes with sour and watery risings.
formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out
languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure OF this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found IN a treatment
which causes the food to be readily, thor
oughly digested before it can to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucus surfaces
of the stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the eafest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diatase, ,Asep-
tic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drugstoIes under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepeia Tablets, and
not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will certainly follow their regular use af-
ter meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher, of 27IO Dearborn
street, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh
| is local condition resulting rom a
neglected cold in the head, whereby the
lining mem branes of the nose become
infamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but today 1 am the happiest OF
men after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 cannot find ap-
propriate words to express my good feel
ing. have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form oi
