one of the main features OF the an
nual session of the state Bar associa-
ton, to be held in Wilkes Barre July
6-7, will be the consideration of the re-
port of the special committee. COM
posed of J. II. Torrey, of this city;
George +. Baer, of Reading, and NJ. w.
Jacobs, of Allentown, on the ADVISABLE
ity of adopting an amendment to the
state constitution repeating so much OF
Article 3, Section Z, as prohibits the
passage of any local or special law reg
ulating the affairs Of counties, cities,
townships, wards, boroughs or school
districts, together with such amenda-
tory provisions for notice of proposed
local or special acts as shall safeguard
the communities affected from hasty
or ill-considercd legislation. The COM
mittee will make a report strongly
favoring such an amendment.
Prior to the constitutional conVen-
tion of 1873 there was practically no
limit to the power Of the legislature
the report will say, to pass local or
special laws, it being a matter of rec
ord that during the seven years prior
to the 1873 convention was passed no
less than S,755 private acts.

Call for Ten thousand.

WASHINGTON, June Replying 10
inquiries of the secretary of war, Gen
eral Otis telegraphed he is still of the
opinion that 10000 troops will be neces-
sary for the effective control of the
Philippines.
Secretary Alger in an interview today
said the regulars now on their way to
the Philippines will gi-e $4,000 troops
after the withdrawal of the volunteers.
"Where will the additional 5000 or
5000 men for whom Otis asks come
from?" the secretary was asked.
''That's not definitely determined as
YETI
"In case it is decided to call for volun-
teers, will the call only be made for 5000
or 5000 men?"
"If volunteers are called for" replied

for 10000 men,"

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Secretary Alger
has caused the quartermaster-ge general to
make a careful compilation of mileage

state would be entitled to, should they
be mustered out at San Francisco. This
information was embodied in message
which was cabled to General Otis.
Travel pay, exclusive of two months
extra pay which each shall receive upon
muster out, approximates for Western
states as follows:
Oregon, $32 to SOL; Washington. $S9
to $62; Idaho, $51 to $s1; Montana, $5s
to $84; Wyoring, $55 to $S7.

DEWEY HAS A
LIFE TITLE
Such is the Preference of the Originator
of the Scheme-Would Go to
Future Admirals.

NEW YoRK, June LIN order that it
may be clearly understood whether it
was Admiral Upshur's intention, when
he suggested gift OF residence in
Washington to Admiral Dewey, that the
property purchased should become his
personal property and pass to his heirs,
or whether it was his intention that it
should remain the permanent home of
the ranking officer of the navy, to be
occupied by Admiral Dewey as long as
he remains at the head of the navy, and
thereafter to pass to his successors as
time goes on, the department of history
of the United States wrote to Admiral
Upshur, asking for his idea on the matter
under date of May 20.
The Admiral replied as follows: "Your
inference that it is my preference that a
home be purchased by the free-will OF
ferings of Americans for the admiral of
the navy, should be occupied by Admiral
Dewey as long as he remains at the head
of the navy and then to pass to his sue
cessors, is entirely correct"

1T CAN'T BE DONE
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can be Cured Unless the
Stomach is First Made Strong and
Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in
the body depends on the stomach for Its
nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood
are made from the food which the
stomach converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,
that and the other remedy and neglect
the most important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste in the mouth,
gas in stomach and bowels, palritation, !,
all-gone feeling, faintness, headaches,
constipation later comes loss of flesh,
consumption, liver and heart troubles,
kidney diseases, nervous prostration, ali
of which are the indirect result of poor
nutrition.
Any person suffering from indigestion
should make it practice to take after
each meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. allowing it to dissolve in the
mouth and thus mingle with the saliva
and enter the stomach in the most natur-
al way. These Tablets are highly recon-
mended by Dr.. Jennison because they
are composed of the natural digestive
acids and fruit essences which assist
the stomach in digesting all wholesome
food before it has time to ferment and
sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full sized packages at so cents.
They are also excellent for invalids and
children. A book on stomach diseases

cures sent free by addressing F. A. Stuart
