PRIZES TO DE APPRAISED.

Washington, July Alt is altogcth-
err probable that the next annual re.
port of the internal revenue bu.
reau will recommend a number of
changes in the war revenue act. In
the main the law has worked salts.
factorily and has produced almost ex.
actly the amount estimated by the com.
missioner This, however, was some.
thing less than the estimate generally
accepted by well informed members OF

A A LARGE AffGE INCREASE INCREASE WAR DEPARTMENT ORDERS 57,OOO MEN TO BE
 ENLISTED.
UNDER THE NEW LAW.
Mixed Regiments Will Be Formed In Colonies to Prevent
 Mutiny.

Washington, March f. - Uncle Sam is in need of 57, GOO men for the army. That they may be obtained as rapidly as possible, instructions have been sent by Secretary Alger to all recruiting officers to make as many erlistments as possible. To aid them in their work, the Secre- tary has authorized them to adyer- tise freely, and to expedite enlist ments it has been determined to as. sign twenty-five additional officers to recruiting duty, making ninety five officers engaged in the work.
 Returns received by Adlutant General Corbin show that there are today 10000 men who have enlisted in the United States service for three years, and this number may be largely increased by the re.en- listment of many volunteers, who have announced thelr intention Of remaining in the service.
 In addition to Americans, it is proposed by theE department to take advantage of that provision of the new army law, which permits the enlistment of natives of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
 It is not intended, however, to form regiments composed solely of natives. The programme, so far as decided upon, contemplates the for nation of mixed regiments-that is, American and natives, with Ameri- can officers. Just how many of these regiments will be authorized is question to be settled within the next week. If desired, the de- partment could organize 30 of these regiments, that many being author ized. In mixing the men the au- thorities believe they will be able 10 prevent mutlny or any other militia ry crimes in which the natives might attempt to engage.
 President Mckinley has selected Colonel F. c. Ainsworth for the ap- pointment of Brigadler General, and John Tweedale for the appointment of Major under the provision of the new law, giving the Chief of the Record and Pension Office of the War Department the rank, pay and allowances of a Brigadier General and allowing an assistant chief of the office who shall have the rank of a Major.
 Colonel Ainsworth is now chief of the Record and Pension9Office, and Mr. Tweedale is chief clerk of the War Department.

A COINCIDENCE
 WORTHY OF NOTE

The recent appointments of Judge Elliott to the bench of Chancellor, and of Judge Anthony B. Grace successor to Judge Elliott on the bench of the Eleventh Judicia. Cir cult, brings to light a coincidence which indicates that the position of City Attorney of Pine Bluff might be termed a stepping stone to bet ter things.
 Mr. Grace succeeded Judge w. D. Hemingway in this position and Judge Elliott Chancellor Tom Mar tin. The records of Messrs. Hem mingway and Martin have been very enviable, their rapid progress to better things being quite mark ed. Messrs. Elliott and Grace, both in the prime of life, also seem destined to rapid advancement along the line of thefr chosen pro fession.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
 INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for the
 Cause.

Heart troubles, Ut least among the Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of Ameri- can business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor di- gestion.
 Real organic disease is incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is organic.
 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 diges- tion, which causes gas and fermenta- tion from half digested food. There is feeling of oppression and heavi- ness III 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.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the di- gestion and tU insure the prompt as- similation of food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleas ant and effective digestive prepara- tion, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valuable, harmless digestive clements in a pleasant, convenient form. It is safe to ay that the regular persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except can. cer of the stomach.
 Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents, Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, Mar shall, Mich.
