CATARRH OF STOMACH.
\ Pleasant, Simple. But safe and If
fectunI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are a full or bloatng sem
sation after eating. accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings, for
nation of gases, causing pressure on the
| heart and lungs and difficult breathing
headaches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and If the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, inilamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment AMI
irritate the delicate mucous 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 DR.. Harlanson the safest
| and best treatment is to use after each
| meal a tablet, composed of Diatase, AseptiC
| Pepsin, little Nux Golden Seal and fruit
| acids 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 perfect SAT "
and assurance that healthy appetite and
| thorough digestion viii follow their regu-
lar use after meals.
Mr. y. ]. Booher of 27lO Dearborn St
| Chicago, Ill. writes: 'Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the
| poisonous discharge therefrOm passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed

An ex-colIector of customs relates this.
as among his experiences: Some years
ago, and shortly prior to the holidays, a
man came into the Office and said that he
wanted to talk with me personally. He
looked like an unsophisticated fellow who
had come in from the country to try his
hand at business though he had sharp
features and nasal twang.
=. Mister. he began when We were
alone, I'm in u kind of a snarl. and I've
come to you because | want to do the

vaney cigars shipped to Windsor, thinkin'
could do stroke sellin' EN- here in De
troit fur the Christmas trade. | had a
man there to take care of EN- till l came
on. but he, not KNOWN nothin' about the
law, packs them cigars in a boat and
brings 'em over here without payin' no
duty. | reckon it was smugglin, but he's
honest as the sun, and | hurried right
here soons | heard OF what he'd done.
Here's a sample of them cigars as he
held out a box. and l want to say right
here that l never had a more delicious
smoke. He took me to the little room he
had rented and showed ME hundreds of
boxes on which he paid the duty. and
let the matter drop. 1t got into the pa
pers, even to my verdict as to the quality
OF the cigars.
Then my honest Yankee made spe-
cial Christmas sale. patroniZed chiefly by
women, who did not care so much about
price as they did about the credit for hay-
ing once selected good goods. He was
closed out in no time, and disappeared
There was a rank odor in the local at
mosphere that Christmas. The cigars
were cheap Connecticut filters with cheap
er Pennsylvania wrappers. The cigar he
gave me was a ringer Uncle Sam got
money that did not belong to him. but it
was an advertising scheme out of which

MIR. BARRows MAY BE NAMED
The Spirited Contest for the Place
of Librarian of Congress.


of Librarian of Congress.
President Mckinley will, in all proba-
bility, appoint successor to the late John
Russell Young as Librarian of Congress
this week. There are many candidates in
the field for the position and the contest
is assuming a spirited aspect. The Presi-
dent does not contemplate making a purely
political selection, but will choose man
who possesses literary talent as well as
the executive ability so essential to the
proper conduct of the great Library.
It was said yesterday at the White House
that the candidate who had only strong
political recommendations. even were he
backed by a dozen delegations, stood but
a poor chance of securing the position as
against candidates who have the requisite
ability for the place The President has
said he would only appoint a person who
was recommended for mis- ability and
qualifications.
1t was also said at the White House
yesterday that, while there were a num-
Der of candidates eligible for the coveted
position. the President has sifted the
many applications until he is now DELHI
Grating for choice between two names.
One OF the leading candidates is Repre-
sentative Barrows of Massachusetts. whose
term in Congress will end with this ses-
sion. He is noted for his literary ability,
having spent a greater part of his life in
the pursuit of literature and newspaper
work. Secretary Long has endorsed Mr..
RarroWs' candidacy.

THE PRESIDENT AT CHURCH.
Miss Mabel Mckinley Contributes
Two Solos to the Musical Service.

Miss Mabel Mckinley attended the morn
ing service yesterday at the Metropolitan
NJ. E. Church and contributed two num-
bers to the musical programme. The Sc
iections rendered by Miss Mckinley were
"See Him Face to Face" and Jesus, Lover
of Ny Soul" the latter being sung to the
air of When the Swallows Homeward
Fly" Both selections were rendered in
splendid voice. Miss Mckinley was ac-
companied to church by her friend, Miss
Barber. of Virginia.
President Mckinley also attended the
service. He was accompanied by his
nephew. James Mckinley, of Cleveland,
Ohio Miss McWilliams. of Chicago, and
Miss Harter. of Canton, Ohio.
The sermon was preached by the Rev.
Frank NJ Bristol. whose topic was the
great desire of the civilized nations OF
the earth for the complete evangeliZation
of the rest of the world. Before begin
ming his discourse, DR.. Bristol announced
that the collection to be taken was for
the benefit of mission work and he ap
pealed to the congregation for a generous
response, saying that at no time was there
ever a greater need and Il better oppor-
tunity for the work OF evangelization than
the present. 1t was promised by the
prophets. he said. that time would come
when the hope of all nations would be
realized; that hope was for the evangelical
ton OF the world.
Referring to the results of the recent
war with Spain. he said that opportunities
were now offered to realize the desire OF
all nations, as promised by the prophets
and to obey the command of Christ to car
ry the Gospel to all people in all parts
of the world

Many Candidates.
Every Congressional district in the State
will no doubt present a candidate either
in dead earnest or as a compliment. Gin
cinnati may put forward former Congress
man John A. Caldwell.
W. ". Peabody, popular railroad man,
is also candidate from that city.
Henry L. Morey, once in Congress, Is
another popular man. and comes from But
Ter county, a Democratic stronghold
]. II. Brigham. now Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, has been "touted' as a
farmers candidate.
Daniel J. Ryan, former secretary OF
state, has been a gubernatorial quantity
for many years, and is deservedly popular.
Judge George X. Nash who was chair
man of the State Committee during Han
mas campaign, has for a long time been
regarded as the Senator's candidate. This
is a little rough on Nash, who Is c.ean,
good tempered man. n little timid perhaps,
but able, and. best of all, politically de-
cent Nash has been attorney general and
Supreme Court judge. and had big vote
for governor in the famous GAINESVILLE con-
Young Mr.. Daugherty.
Harry NJ. Daugherty, who is chairman Of
the State committee, is the idol of the
younger Republicans. He is IS years old
and seems younger. The old graybeards
have been sneering at his youth He has
announced his candidacy. They forget
that Wilson Shannon was elected Governor
at Sc and Foraker was the nominee at 81
Daugherty has been active in politics
since he became a voter. He can make
a good speech, has good manners, and evil
dent sincerity in his friendships. He
made the opening speech at the last State
convention. Mr.. Grosvenor followed as
temporary chairman and every delegate
in the convention will say that Daugh-
erty's speech was a thousand times better
than that of the veteran from Athens.
So much for the leading candidates.
Now for the results which will attend the
success OF either faction in the conven-
ton. If Mr.. Hanna nominate the candi
date and elect him, the State patronage,
which is considerable will be Joined to
Federal patronage and used in an eff
fort to defeat Foraker for reelection to
the Senate. That is certain.
No one knows it better than Foraker,
and he has his fighting clothes on to con-
troll not only State ticket nominations this
year but also the selection of candidates
for the Legislature. Many counties in
Ohio have an unwritten law which gives
legislator two terms. Foraker's plan is
to nominate his friends in all such coun-
ties this year If Senator Foraker and his
friends control the convention and elect
the Governor, President Mckinley will
have TO do business with Foraker or lose
the Ohio delegation next year. And there
you are.
1t is a pretty fight just begun and the
end will not be until after the next ma
tional election.

Poor Vintage in Germany.

According to reports received at the
State Department from consuls and others
this years vintage in Germany will go on
record as one OF the poorest, both as to
quantity and quality. of recent years. The
main cause is to be sought in the very
unfavorable state of weather during the
bossoming period of the vines. At the
same time. the diseases of the vines
spread to an alarming extent. On the
average. hardly one-fifth to one-fourth of
a crop has been gathered, and prices have
consequently ruled high but 1t Is very
doubtful whether they can be kept up.
owing to the rather poor quality of this
years vintage.
