stormy Session of spanish cortes.

MADRID, March 7.-The initial ap-
pearance in the senate yesterday of
Senior Silvela as premier was marked
by somewhat stormy session. He
attempted to read the decree of dissolu-
ion, and Count d 'Almenas tried to talk
but his voice was drowned with cries
of "Consquez, consquez." The presi-
dent of the house vainly endeayored to
quell the disturbance. but finally Senor
Silvela completed reading the decree
amid cheers for liberty mingled with
cheers for the queen, the army and the
navy. The session was declared closed
amidst an uproar. There were similar
scenes in the chamber of deputies and
shouts of "Down with the Jesuits, :"
and cheers for liberty. The session
was closed in a general uproar. The
ushers had to drive the public from the
floor and the platform of the chamber.

No Trouble with These Natives.

WASHINGTON, March "a cablegram
from General Otis at Manila indicates
the satisfactory and agreeable reception
accorded to the American troops which
recently landed at the island of Negros.
They were sent there by General Miller,
in command of Colonel Smith, to take
formal possession for the United States,
which he did without trouble. Previous
to the time the troops arrived, a COM
mission from the island visited General
Otis, saying they were willing to sur
render and asking that he take the in
habitants under his protection. The
congratulatory dispatch to General
Miller by the natives is gratifying, as
it is believed there will be no trouble in
dealing with the natives of that island.

BOUGHT in BY THE ROAD
Union Pacific Railway Lands
Sold at Auction.
ONLY ONE BIDDER APPEARS.

Takes In the Thousands of Nebraska
Acres That Are offered by the Special
Master-Tyyo Protests Are Filed Against
the Sale.
OMAHA, March 7.-All the lands of
the Union Pacific Railroad company in
Nebraska covered by the sinking fund
mortgage of 1878 given by the old COM
pany to the Union Trust company of
New York as trustee, were sold yester-
day for 1865, ,Sl4 and We're bought in by
the new Union Pacific company. The
description of the lands was read by
counties and when finished, the special
master would ask for bids on any por-
ton OF the lands in each county, and
none being offered. he called for bids
for all i'll tbs county. Only once was
bid for an individual tract offered. A
man wanted a piece of the land in
Dawson county and made q bid upon it.
The Union Pacific representative at
once raised the bid and it took onl;-
about two minutes for the western man
to learn that he was outclassed and he
withdrew from. the contest This par
ticular piece OF land sold for $3.50.
w. d. Cornish of New York, vice
president of the Union Pacific company,
represented that corporation at the
sale, and made the bids which were ac-
cepted by the special master. Just as
the sale was begun two protests were
filed with the special master. H. T.
Clarke, who owns q number of con-
tracts of sale to portions Of this land,
nH q <hok
portion OF the property in which he is
interested. The other protest was q
long document covering some 25 type
written pages. A copy was filed in the
clerks Office of the United States cir
cult court and another copy served en-
the special master. The author of this
protest is B. G. Burbank of this city,
who alleges that he represents parties
who desire to homestead the land
under the laws of the United
States. 1t is set forth in. the protest
that the Union Pacific company for
feited its rights to the lands in not sell
ing or disposihg Of them within three
years after the compile ton Of the road,
as provided in the contract with the gov.
ernment.
The total number of acres of land af-
fected by the sale in Nebraska is /, ,1O7,-
1887, but over half this amount is now
under contract of sale, and the equity
in these contracts makes up part of
the 100000 bid for the contracts at the
sale. It is estimated that about SOC, 600
acres are not contracted for, and it is
this portion which it is said by some
should be thrown open to public settle-
ment under the general land laws.

Condition of Range stock.

DENVER, March 7.-For the past
month the headquarters of the National
Live Stock association has been engaged
in gathering reports of the condition Of
live stock on the western ranges. These
reports include almost the entire west,
and cover loss from winter weather and
storms, together with general conditions
for the spring. While most of the cat
tie have wintered well, the winter has
been of unusual severity, and while
losses are light thus far, the cattle are
as rule very weak and in poor condi-
tion to Withstand severe storms Of the
spring. One of the worst features in
the outlook is the scarcity of forage re-
ported from many districts. Very early
grass is an absolute necessity to keep
many of the cattle alive.

TWO BIG RAIL ROAD MEN

Rumored That Louisville and Nashville and

Southern--WnI Hurt Business.

President Milton H. Smith, of the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad. spent all of
yesterday in the Birmingham district and
will leave this morning. He spent the day
making a trip over the Birmingham Min
eral, in Superintendent Newbold's private
car.
f. S. Cannon, third vice-president of the
Southern, also was in the city yesterday,
though he left in the afternoon.
The object of these two officials visit was
given out as being routine inspection trips
but some say that there is more in 1t than
a simple inspection trip. The threatening
aspect which the Birmingham Southern has
assumed has brought these high officials to
Birmingham, it is said. 1t will be remem-
bered that charter was obtained for this
road few weeks ago to build several lines
in the Birmingham district and to buy up
all of the lines of the Tennessee Coal. Iron
and Railroad company. All the money nee
essary to construct this system of mineral
roads was raised in New York before the
charter was obtained. If the Birmingham
Southern goes into operation, 1t is said that
it will take away so much of the iron and

and other citizens and tax payers OF this
city, tonight filed In the chancery court
bill which proposes to test the eonstitu-

December 16.
The bill is entitled "A bill to enJoin the

of Madison county from appointing inspect
ors to hold an election for the selection
of delegates to the constitutional conven-

The complainants allege that the said
county officers have no authority to APP

ing that there is no statute requiring them
to do so; that an election held by them
would be void; that parties elected as dele

articles of the present constitution and
that it does not require that the proposed
constitution shall be submitted to the peo-

to the human system by the skill of the

successful examples is the Syrup of Figs
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. Unlike a host of limitations and cheap
substitutes, Syrup of Figs is permanently
beneficial in it's effects, and therefore lives
and promotes good health, while inferior
preparations are being cast aside and for

temporary relief to individuals here and

a laxative remedy must give satisfaction to
all. If you have never used Syrup of Figs
give 1t trial. and you will be pleased with
it, and will recommend it to your friends or
to any who suffer from constipation, or
from overlooking, or from colds, headaches

inactive condition of the kidneys. liver and

In the process of manufacturing the

now HE CAME TO BE NAMED RUpYARD

From the Baltimore American.
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay
December 30, 1885, and is the son of John
Lockwood Kipling, head of the Lahore
School of Art in Bombay. The elder Kip
ling is a native of Staffordshire. England,
where he was formerly a designer of dec
orations in large pottery firm, Doulton's
formerly Pinder, Bourne e. Co. Pinder's
son, who is now a travelling salesman for
the pottery firm, tells the following story
of how Rudyard received his rather peou-
liar name.
"Ohe day my mother gave picnic to
the young people of the neighborhood at a
pretty little English lake between the viii
lagos of Rudyard and Rushton, not far
from Burslem. John kipling went of
course, and there he met a pretty English
GIRL Mary Mcdonald, the daughter of a
Methodist minister at Endon. Kipling fell
in love with her at once. They met very
often at my mothers house, and it grew
into a love affair on both sides. Then
John Kipling went to the art school in
kensington, and was afterward sent out
to direct the art schools of the Madras
presidency in India. When he went to
India he took pretty Mary Mcdonald along
as his WIFE
"In the fulness of time a son was born
to the Kiplings in Bombay. Their first
meeting at Rudyard Lake must have been
the pretty bit of sentiment of their lives
for when they named the son they took
for him that of the little lake on the
banks of which they first met one another

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.

Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for the Cause
Heart troubles, at least among the Amer
leans. are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, 1t is
more often the result of weak stomachs,
of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but not
one case in hundred of heart trouble is or
ganic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is effected
by the form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food. There is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness in the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
Tho most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements in a pleasant,
convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular persist
ent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets sold
by druggists at 50 cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free Address. F.
