A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets are the best and most ef- feetual cure for every form of indiges- ton.
 They are in the tablet form which retains their good qualities indefinite ly, while liquid preparations become stale and useless with age.
 They are convenient, can be carried in the pocket and taken when needed They are pleasant to take.
 After each meal dissolve one or two of them in the mouth and, mingling with the foods they constitute q per- feet digestive, absolutely safe for the most sensitive stomach.
 They digest the food before it has time to ferment, thus preventing the formation of gas and keeping the blood pure and free from the poisonous pro- ducts of fermented, half digested food
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach troubles and noth- ing else.
 One disease. one remedy; the sue cessful physician of today is the spe- cialist, the successful medicine is the medicine prepared especially for one disease.
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets make the complexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
 They increase flesh by digesting flesh forming foods.
 A whole package taken at one time would not hurt one, but would simply be waste of good material
 Over six thousand men and women in the State of Michigan alone, have been cured of indigestion and dyspep sia by the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Sold by all druggists at 50 cents pei package.

Succeeds Butler.

New YORK, Dec. 19.-M. De Long,
the manager Of the dynamite factory
at Modderfontein in the Transvaal. has
Just started for France and has been
interviewed by representatives OF the
Paris journals. He says that the Brit
ish government can have no idea OF the
vast extent of the preparations that the
Beers have been quietly making for
years with the realization that another
struggle with the full force of Great
Britain was inevitable. Even should
the Beers be driven out of Natal, he
points out, no British army could ever
hope to enter the Transvaal and sur
vive. Since the war began, he says,
heavy artillery that had been carefully
stored away has been brought forth.
He asserts that the forts at Pretoria
and johannesburg are as strong rs any
fortresses in the world, and have with.
in the last month been rendered abso-
lutely imp1egnable while Edelberg
alone could hold its own with 20 men
against !, 900 assailants, particularly in
the rainy season which has just begun,
causing unfordable streams suddenly to
spring into existence.
NJ. De Long states that there are
about 5000 we'll trained German vol
unteers in the Boer army who have not
vet been allowed to go to the front
He adds that the governments of the
Boer republics are showing a great
economy of strength and have not yet
used a third of their military resources.

sentative Sulzer of New York has in
troduced joint DISSOLUTION declaring
that a state of war exists in South
Africa, and according belliRerent rights
to the Transvaal government. In bis
speech Mr.. Suzer said:
my sympathy is with the heroic
Beers. They are making brave and
gallant fight against great odds fer
their homee, their tiresides and their
liberties. We should not secretly or
openly help Great Britain to their dis
advantage. We should accord the
Beers all the rights of belligerente. I
want to see tho Beers win, and 1 hope
they will. l am opposed to the pig
sticking mode of warfare Great Britain
IS carrying on. II what 1 read IN the
papers is true, this cruelty and inhu-
manity puts England beyond the pale

before them. The papers unanimously
applaud this awakening, despite the
fact that they recognize that the heroic
measures now decided upon savor
rather of weakness than of strength.
Rumor has it that the question of ex-
pense has really been at the bottom of
the half-hearted measures hitherto
adopted. and it is not unlikely that Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the
exchequer, and other members of the
cabinet will resign.
It was high time that something
very energetic was done. The British
losses in killed. wounded, prisoners and
missing throughout the campaign, now
reach the enormous total of 1850.
The tragic circumstances of the ap-
pointment of Lord Roberts almost
simultaneously with the announcement
OF the death of his promising son ex-
cites deepest public sympathy.

Awful Effects of the Boer Artillery Fire
At tho Battle of Tugela River.
LONDON, Dec. 21.-The first direct
news from .Tugela river is at hand.
That is the first to give "details of the
awful storm Of shells that were hurled
at the British forces under General Bal
Ter when the attempt to cross the
stream was made. The dispatch is di-
rect from Chieveley camp and says:
"The relief column continued its ad.
vance from Chievely early today, in
tending to assail the Boer positions,
which were known to be very strong to
the westward and northwest of Colenso.
During the two preceding days the
Beers had allowed themselves to be
bonn barded without condescending to
reply with single shot. They further
took half an hours bonn bardment this
morning without an exchange, when
suddenly they belched out stream OF
fire from all their intrenchments, be-
sides opening fearful cannonade with
all their quick-firers, field and siege
guns, which were posted from end to
end of their position.
bflClSh Guns NeSpOnOs
"When their presence and actual
position had been determined the Brit
lsh naval brigade commenced shelling
all the ridges north of the town with
marvellous accuracy. At this time the
artillery attached to General Hart's
division was busy among the intrench-
ments on the hills on the British left,
under cover of which the Irish infantry
brigade marched out in extended order
to cross the river and attack. Undoubt-
edly aiming at this battery the Beers
sent several shells near the ambulance
train, which was forced to change its
position.
