A Hundred Reasons

Can be given why Stuarts Dyspepsla Tablets are the best and most effectuai cure for every form of indigestion.
 They are in the tablet form which retains their good qualities indefinitely, while liquid preparations become stale and use less with age.
 They are convenient, can be carried in the pocket and taken when needed. They are pleasant to take.
 After each meal dissolve one or two of them in the mouth, and, mingl:ng with the food. they constitute a perfect digestive, absolutely safe for the most sensitive stom- ach.
 They digest the food before it has time to ferment thus preventing the formation of gas and keeping the blood pure and free from the poisonous products of fermented, half -digested food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach troubles and nothing else.
 One disease, one remedy; the successful physician of today is the specialist; the successful medicine Is the medicine pre- pared especially for one disease.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the com plexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
 They increase flesh by digesting flesh forming foods
 A whole package taken at one time would not hurt one but would simply be a waste of good material.
 Over six thousand men and women in the state of Michigan alone have been cured of indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Sold by all druggists at 50 cents per pack age.

New York March H-General Joseph Wheeler, who is at present in this city, re- fused today to discuss any further the sub feet of the battle of Las Guasimas. T think" he said to a reporter, "the state ment which I sent to the war department, and which the war department has seen fit to publish, covers the whole ground of the controversy. I am in too delicate po- sition to say anything further, even if there were anything more to say.
 Ut was at least dut to the officers in my division that the statement should be made and those officers should not be allowed to rest under a cloud of misunderstanding"

PETTUS ELECTED
As Delegate-at-Large Methodists Will
 Build New Church.

Selma, March 2.-(Special.) .)-The returns from all the precincts are in from the primary election held on Saturday last and show that for delegate at large from this senatorial district the delegation favoring the candidacy of Hon. F. l.. Pettus re- ceived 1,O95 votes, and that for MT. H. L. Mckee received 5f votes, majority for the former of 551.
 It Is an i'll wind that blows nobody good, and the wind that hurled the spire through the roof and into the floor of the First Methodist church on Saturday night last, thereby almost demolishing that ediice, will work good for Selma. Tho quarterly conference of the church met last night and decided to repair the wreck so as to preserve the property from ruin, and go to work immediately to build another church. Committees were appointed to that end, and 1t was decided to erect house of wor ship not to cost less than $25,OOO. The ladies of the church have gone to work and called meetings for tomorrow afternoon to take the necessary steps to raise the amount wanted.
 Selma will soon be known as the city of beautiful churches. In 1893 the magnificent new Presby church was built at a cost of $35, GOO. A year or so ago the Sec ond Baptists built a new house of wor-
 
 land Presbyterians. The Hebrews of the city then decided to build new synagogue, and $15,000 house has about been contract ed for. The Christians have purchased valuable lot and will in few months time begin work on new church; and now comes the Methodists.
 There was killing at Martins Station Sunday night, the particulars of which just reached this city today.
 Mr. Jake Schuler. who has charge of Craig Smiths plantations in that section, went home Sunday night, and in taking his shot gun down 1t was discharged, the load entering the body of a negro by the name of Tom Chisolm, a boy about 23 years of age
 Dr. Cochran was sent for, but the wound was fatal and the negro died a short while after he was shot. He stated to several negroes who came to see him that MT. Schuler didn't know he was in the room and that he was not to be blamed for the shooting. Yesterday before Justice Julius Pledger MT. Schuler was tried and from the evidence it was found that he was not guilty and he was dsSSerged.
 MT Schuler is a popular citizen of West Dallas, and no one regrets more than he the unfortunate affair. He sent for the doctor and saw that the negro had a decent
