Meat Reshipped From England and
Sent to the soldiers.
Washington, March 31.-There were
two original witnesses before the army
beef inquiry court yesterday, and two
former witnesses were recalled Lieuten-
ant CAMPER, who was commissary of
subsistence at Lakeland, Fla, and Major
Creighton Webb, who was on General
Lawton's staff in Cuba, testified for the
first time. Colonel Woodruff of the
commissary department and Mr.. More
hous, the Tampa agent for Armour &
Co., who superintended the supply o.
fresh beef to the troops at Lakeland,
were those recalled. Colonel Woodruf
stated that in one instance canned beef
which had been shipped to Liverpool,
England, was brought back to this coun
try and sold for the use of the army
This purchase amounted to 35,0Ou
pounds. The beef. as he understood T.,
had been stored in Armour's warehouse
in Liverpool and had been sent abroad
with the view of selling it to the British
government Major Webb's testimony
dealt almost entirely with the canned
roast beef, which he denounced as use
less as an article of food. Lieutenant
Gampfer said that a representative oi
Armours whom he took to be Mr.
Morehous. had told him that chemicals
were used to preserve the beef. This
Mr.. Morehous denied when recalled.

BIG shipments of coal continue to
be made from the port of Philadel-
phia, to Mexico and the West Indies
and Cuba. The British steamer
Hamilton, with 8, 100 tons, valued at
$1,000, for Vera Cruz, has cleared, as
also have the bark Vidette, with $50
tons, valued at $1,67O, and the
schooner Pepe Ramirez for Guam
tanomo, with $50 tons, worth 81, 1865.
This coal is all of the bituminous
kind. Another steamer will leave
shortly with coal for Barcelona. This
will be the first coal shipment to
leave these shors for the land of the
Dons and marks the beginning of a
new industry. Unfortunately, how
ever, this region does not furnish the
fuel.

REFORMS FOR PORTO RICO.


People Generally Favor Territorial
Government andAmerican ON cials.
New York, March 31.-Dr. II. X. Car
roll, President McKinley's civil commits
sioner, who visited Porto Rico for the
purpose of investigating social conditions
and drafting n plan for a form of Amert-
can government and reforms on the ISL

cations completed. Today DR.. Carroll
went to Washington to see the president,
and on Monday will return to his home
in Plainfeld, n. j. He viii begin work
on his report Immediately.
Or. Carrolls investigations have cover
ed a period Of several months. Ele found
the system of local government TO be
radically different from anything in this
country. Under Spanish rule, and still,
the island is divided into municipal dis
tricts. Some of these are very small
and others very extensive. In each
OF these is a city, large or small. This
has governor or mayor and n
council, and the country districts
lying about it are governed from the
city. He found the possibilities of abuse
of power and taxation under this sys-
tenn very great. He Travelled all through
the island, examining into this, and held
meetings with mayors, councils, mei-
chants. lawyers and manufacturers
what few there are.
During his progress he met many farm
ers and talked with them independently
Of the conferences. He found they rec
ognized they were taxed to pay for many
things which they did not get. In talk
ing with the residents he explained to
them the county and township plan in
use in the United States. and the resi-
dents took to the idea and commented
most favorably upon it. The general
idea seemed to be in favor of a territorial
form of government, with American of

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep-
tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urnate often with burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de-
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvellous cures Of the most distressing
cases and known as DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
It is sold by all druggists.
As proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp Root, sample bottle
and book Of valuable information will be sent
absolutely free by mail on application to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing kindly mention that you read this
liberal offer in the Shenandoah HERALD.

The position taken by Gov. Stone,
as expressed in his letter to J. B. Her
shey, of McKeespOrt, that 1--WE must
be just before we are charitable" is
the only safe one for either an in
dividual or the state to take. Gov
Stone is constrained to call attention
to this principle and to insist on its
being followed because Of the fact
that the expenditures of the state are
greatly in excess of the revenues, No
man in the state realizes or values
more the necessity of keeping up the
standard of learning in our Common
wealth to the highest point. But a
heavy debt of over three million
dollars is resting upon the state, and
AS Governor he feels it incumbent
upon him to have that debt wiped
out il possible during his administra-
ton.

IT does not follow that because
many of the combinations, based on
legitimate capitalization, have bene-
flied both themselves and the public,
no evil turks in the system. On the
contrary, the best business men of
the country are fully of the
opinion that great danger may lie in
them, and that if something is not
done to stop the mania for such or
ganizations the whole country may
be plunged into financial suffering.
Trusts with fictitious capital to an
enormous amount are daily coming
into existence. They are not legiti
mate business enterprises.

Philadelphia, March 31.-The striking
pantsmakers Of this city yesterday
gained a partial victory in their de
mands on the contractors for increased
wages, shorter hours, abolition of sub
contracting and recognition of their
union. Ten of the smaller contractors
agreed to the demands. A half hundred
or more other contractors are still hold
ing out, although they agree generally
that the demands of the strikers are
just, with the exception of some of the
minor demands. The contractors claim
however, that unless the manufa cturerr
agree to pay higher prices they will be
unable to consent to the pantsmakers
demands.

Boy strikers Close Big Factories.

Pittsburg, March 31.-All of the glass
factories on the southside belonging to
the American Glass company were yes
terday shut down for the balance of the
present fire. This suspension was caused
by the strike of the comparatively few
lehr tenders and shove boys, who de-
manded an advance of 10 per cent in
their wages. The several firms notified
their employees that if all were not at
work at s o'clock yesterday morning the
plants would close down. The strikers
and other employees paid no attention TO
this notification, and last evening fires
were drawn and glass ladled out, thus
shutting down the factories.

THEY RIDICULE 1T.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an ABB
solute Cure for Dyspepsia and
stomach Troubles
Ridioule, However, is not Argument, ant
Facts are Stubborn Things.


Facts are Stubborn Things
Stomach troubles are so common aud in
most cases, so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for
dyspepsia and Indigestion. Many such pride
themselves ON their acuteness ip never being
humbugged, especially in medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged can be car
ried too far, 50 far, in lnct that many people
suffer tor years with weak digestion rather
than risk little time and money in faith
fully testing the claims made Of a preparation
so reliable and universally used as Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly
different in one important respect from ordin-
ary proprietary medicines for the reason that
they are not secret patent medicine, no
secret is made of their ingredients, butanaly
sis shows them to contain the natural diges-
tive ferments pure aseptic pepsin, the diges-
tive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis
aud nux. They are not cathartic, neither
do they act powerfully on any organ but
they cure indigestion on the common-sens
plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly
before it has time to ferment, sour and cause
the mischief. This is the only secret of theil
success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely on the bowels
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there is tC
it, Food not digested or half digested il
poison as it creates gas, acidity, headaches

the fact that he had resigned because OF

himself by his decision that Malietoa

opposition candidate, Mataafa, had made
himself ineligible, according to the terms
OF the Berlin conference, although on
Oct. : ne had declared that If Mataafa
was chosen king he must be confirmed

Even the British residents, according
10 DR.. Raffel, thought Justice Chambers
a fool. He added that Osborne, the
American CONSUL was unfit for his du-
ties. Mataafa's party was in the ma
iority. and the powers must submit 10
the will of the natives and declare him
king. The plan Of apportioning the isl
ands among the three powers DR., Raifcl
thought impracticable, because the cost
OF governing its share would be greater
10 each Of the powers than anything thar
could be gotten out Of il, and the customs
