oswego's Enormous Taxes.

OswegO. Dec. 19.-The people here are
probably paying the highest taxes OF
any in the state. Several years ago
the town voted bonds to get a. couple
of railroads. The bonds are now COM
ing due. In order to meet them the
people this year are paying IA per cent
taxes. It will take two years at this
rate to pay the bonds. After that it is
estimated that the taxes will be lower
than those of any other city in the
state.

Advice to DyspeptiCs
How to Cure Themselves.
RELIEF COMES THE FIRST HOUR.

1t may seem strange for you to find
after years of doctoring that Dyspepsia
in all it's forms is one of the easiest
diseases to cure, yet such is a fact. 1t
was only necessary to find the cause
and science soon furnished the cure
For years the medical profession
thought that food was digested in the
stomach and that the lack of digestive
fluids caused indigestion, nervous
dyspepsia, hatulency, and in truth all
the supposed various forms of dyS-
pepSia known Believing this, they,
with the manufactures have always
worked on these lines, and all dyspepsia
cures made were composed of digestive
ferments combined with some cathar-
tic. The fact that temporary relief fol-
lowed the use of these remedies was
sufficient reason for their continuance,
although to the surprise Of the doctors
permanent cures were seldom made.
This was easily explained, however,
when science proved THAT FOOD
WAS NOT DIGESTED IN THE
STOMACH AT ALL, only prepared by
this organ for digestion by the intes-
tines; that dyspepsia was caused by a
disease germ and that they had been
doctoring the symptoms instead of the
disease itself. 1t was found that these
ton, f1atulency, catarrh of the stomach,
gastritis, nervous and acid dyspepsia,
and, when located in the bowels caused
intestinal Indigestion, biliousness,
diarrhoea. constipation, catarrh of the
bowels and appendicitis.
The Only Method of Cure
then was to destroy the germs. and the
discovery of Hyomei. the New Germi-
eide, has made the cure of dyspepsia in
all its forms a very simple matter.
HyOmei Dyspepsia Cure
is unlike any other ever made for 1t
treats each kind of dyspepsia separate
ly, and contains the only germicide
known that viii destroy the germs
which cause the disease without injury
to the patient; combined as it is with
affords immediate relief and makes a
complete cure by destroying the germs.
It is guaranteed in every case, and
your money is refunded if it fails to
cure. Sold by all druggists or sent by

GROWTH OF RAILROADS.
Remarkable Advancement During

From 1880 to 1898 is not a great while
only the lifetime of an 1S-year-old boy
and yet in that brief period the railway
system of the United States has doubled
in extent and far more than doubled in
efficiency and usefulness. Taking a few
figures from POOrS Manual, and working

Age finds the following comparisons,

Havana IN POLICE Charge
SEVERAL GAVE THEIR LIVES
Blue Coats Were Put to "A Test Several
Were Severely Wounded and One Has
iDied-The Attack on Them Inspired
by Criminals-Miiitary Moving ON.

New York, March PA dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
The exhibitions of lawlessness, which for
the last two days have shocked the cit, =
growing sense Ct order and security, proved
fiery trial to the newly organized Ha-
vana police.
The members of the force were put to a
test which public opinion scarcely thought
it equal to, and as result General Memo
calls bluecoats stand higher today in pop
ular estimation than would have been
fancied possible after the fascos commit
ted in attempting to suppress the anti
assembly demonstrations week ago
1t was charged then against the police
men that they dubbed women and c...i
dren, but begged men to move on with
the most scrupulous pohteness. On Sat
urday night and yesterday the bluecoat,
showed they could face the fire and thei
losses in the San Jose riot from an am
I buscade attack showed decided courage
under trying circumstances.
In this street fight seven officers, in
GLIDING the lieutenant in charge, wer
severely wounded One died yesterda,
and several others are scarcely expected t.
recover. Four officers were slightly wound
ed outside the San Jose dance hall. An
other patrolman was killed yesterday al
ternoon while on duty in different sec
ton of the sluns.
1t is believed that the attack on tn
police was inspired by certain notoriou
criminals known as Nanigos, who hav
recently been repatriated from SPANS
prisons, but whatever the cause, the a:
sault is accepted here as showing tn
need of prompt curtailment of the priv
ilege of carrying arms and the enforce
ment by some examples Of severity of
more wholesome respect for the police

The abandonment of the upper Prado by
the Tenth infantry is visible sign of the
relaxing grip on the city of the American

way had been appropriated for a camp site
and the tents of the soldiers had shut off
completely the pleasant view up this part
of Havana's only show street.
The Tenth infantry has now gone to
Mantanzas and the Prado and its environs
are no longer alive with the dishguring
activities of military camp.
