INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured
By Stuarrs Dyspepsia
Tablets.
New Discovery, But Not Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwel relates an interesting account
of what he considers a remarkable cure of
acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspep-
sia by the use of the new discovery, Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: 1.-THE patient was a man who
had suffered. to my knowledge, for years
with dyspepsia Everything he ate seemed
to sour and create gases in the stomach:
he had pains like rheumatism In the back
shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and dis
tress after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected causing
ralpitation and sleeplessness at night.
at gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies. but to no purpose. AS an
experiment finally bought a 50-cent pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
drug store and gave them to him. Almost
immediate relief was given, and after he
had used four boxes he was, to all appear
ances, fully cured.
"There was no more acidity or sour wa
terry risings, no boating after meals; the
appetite was vigorous, and he has gained
between ten and twelve pounds In weight of
solid. healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold In drug stores, yet I
consider them most Yalueble addition to
any physicians line of remedies as thev
are perfectly harmless. and can be given to
children or invalids or In any condition of
the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
without any question, they are the SAT-
est, most effective cure for Indigestion, bill
iousness constipation. and all derange-
ments of the stomach, however slight or
severe"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the F. A. Stuart Co., of Marshall, Mich,
and are sold by druggists everywhere at so
cents per package.

WILL BE NO DIFFICULTY
In Arranging Details of the Commits
sion's Plans for Settlement.

Washington, April At Is not believed
here that there will be any difficulty in ar
ranging the details of the commissions
plan for the settlement of the Samoan
trouble arising from reluctance on the part
of the British government to throw aside
the Berlin treaty. The state department
does not expect that 1t will be necessary
to go far outside of the lines of the con-
vention to secure satisfactory adjustment
of the present difficulties.
AS there appears to be apprehension that
the proposed commission may not be linn
tied in its functions sufficiently to meet the
British ides 1t may be said that the plan
In contemplation safeguards all essential
points. 1t is expected that the proposed
commission shall visit the islands, shall
make careful inquiry into existing con-
ditions and then apply such remedial meas
ures as may seem to be necessary to in
sure tranquility. 1t will be distinctly I'M
derstood that whatever the commission
does in that line will be purely temporary
in character and subject to the approval of
the three governments, party to the Berlin
treaty. !
Then the commission will be expected to
frame a scheme for submission to an ap-
prevail aby each Of the three powers for
the future government of the islands, in
volving perhaps some more or less radical
changes in the original Berlin treaty.
Neither of the three governments there
fore chances the loss of any substantial in
terest in the Samoan group by accepting
this commission plan.
The president has not yet made selec-
tion of the commissioner which shall rep-
resent the United States government, but
a decision Is expected very soon. He has
before him several names of persons who
rank high as publicists or as experts In in
ternational practice. Prominent among the
latter Is Thomas w. Cridler, the present
third assistant secretary of state, who has
been suggested principally because Of his
thorough familiarity with the subject, hay
ing made study Of Samoan affairs from

eral million of dollars, the credit Of the
city is still very good. The legislature au-
thorized an issue of $4,000 worth of bonds
for the purchase and improvement OF a
public park and these bonds were adver-
dised for sale over a month ago. Last
night the bids were opened and reac as
follows:
Briggs, Todd & Co, 1872 194.50 and interest.
Josiah Morris & Co., $31 ,761, and interest.
Dewitt, Tremble & Co., $31 $40, and inter-
est.
Sol D. Bloch, $31 $50, and interest
Farson, Leach & Co., $31 275, and interest.
J. c. Haas, $50 945, and interest.
1t will be seen that the price offered OF
Briggs Todd & Co., of Cincinnati, Is the
best. though 1t Is conditioned upon the
legality of the purchase of the park, while
Mr.. A. NJ Baldwins bid is but $3.50 less
and no conditions set out. In all probabil-
ity the best bidder will be awarded the
bonds. The bids are in the hands OF the
finance committee.

1t is Constitutional

In the probate court this morning Judge
CASTOR rendered very important decision.
the effect of which will be to have the SUI
preme court pass on the constitutionality
of the parole law. Judge CASTOR sustained
the law
The case was brought before the court
last Friday On Tuesday night of last
week Brooks Fuller entered a saloon and
fired his pistol promiscuously, woundng
three men, Warrants were sworn out
against him, and he was arrested. Friday
his case was brought before the recorder,
but continued. Fuller was convicted on
charge of assault with intent to murder at
the July term, 1896, of the city court and
given a sentence OF six years. In Novem-
Der of the same year Governor Oates COM
muted the sentence to one year. On Feb
ruary "a, 1897, Governor Johnston issued to
Fuller parole, conditioned on his good
behavior. Had not this parole been grant
ed Fuller's sentence would have expired on
August II, 1897.
When Recorder Tarver continued the case
against Fuller last Friday, he was arrested
by the sheriff on an order from the Gov
ernor, committing him back to the peni-
Tertiary to serve out the time of the SEN
tence, five months and twenty-three days.
Fullers attorneys swore out a writ of ha-
the convict authorities. In their petition
the attorneys declared the parole law In
violation Of the constitution, In that it did
not provide for hearing to determine the
guilt of the defendant and also that the
governor had no right to remand the pris-
oner to jail after the date on wh'cl his
sentence would have expired.
A. A. Wiley and John w. A. Sanfo
are representing Fuller and Tennent To-
max the state. The case has been appeai-
ed to the supreme court, and Fuller is en-
joyiDg liberty under $1,000 bond.

Ultra-Niceties in Ohio Politics.

The voting membership OF the GAINESVILLE
convention in Ohio was S02. The number
of votes necessary to nominate a Governor
was 4o2, such being majority and the
smallest majority possible. On "Wednesday.
Mr.. MCLEAN. the successful candidate,
received 4O2L votes. or this peculiar
vote, which, says the Cincinnati Enquirer
WAS Sufficiently close on it's surface
appearance to thrill the delegates and
spectators with excitement OF high
degree" Mr.. MCLEAN's paper gives this
extraordinarily ingenious explanations:
at was the desire of Mr.. MCLEAN to achieve the
victory on the first ballot without infringing upon
the support given the othor candidates from their
respective localities. He wanted TO accord them the
courtesy OF not marrng the local pride surrounding
their respective candidates and therefore instructed
his lieutcnants to he slow In taking the votes that
anxious TO come TO him in such instances upon
the FIRST ballot. Thus It that the result Of the
one decisive ballot very close. He desired Just
enough votes for the nomination. and no more In
accordance with his wishes, therefore. it was so
arranged that ho received exactly 4o2S votes, 4o2
being necessary for the choice"
What explanation Mr.. MCLEAN has to
give OF the inconsistency and disregard of
the most ordinary rules Of political disci-
pline, as understood in a Mclean conven-
ton, by the half delegate" who brought
MCLEAN S total up to 4O2Ea, when it had been
clearly arranged that the total vote at
GAINESVILLE should be 4O2 only, is not clear.
Some explanation certainly should be forth
coming OF such intolerable independence at
an anti-boss convention, such as the Zanes

and while he had all tho full-vote delegates
well in line, the half-vote delegates seem to
have evaded the vigilance OF his managers.
