Can Anord to Have : cow.

Just after President McKinley,s In.
suguration he had his relatives who
were in the city at family dinner at
the white house, says the Ladies' Home
Journal in an illustrated anecdotal
biography of the president. It was q
large company, and o very good din
ner. Dear old Mother Mckinley was
there, but she was not very talkatiye,
She was too happy for words. But abe
kept q sharp eye on the dinner, and no
detail of it escaped her. She was i'm
pressed by the quantity of cream
served with the fruit and coffee. for
she looked up at her son in her sweet
way and said: civilian. you must
keep q cow now" Some of the young
er members of the family party found
1t difficult to suppress a smile, but the
with his usual tact and
graciousness, replied: "Yes, mother.
we can afford to have o COW now. and
have all the cream we can possibly
use."

A FRENCHMAN's VIEWS.

Point In British Power.

ae Sees In the TransvaaI War the Turning
Point In British Power.
NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: General
du Baril, former minister of war, says:
II hope that England will be forced
to driuk the cup of bitterness to the
dregs. She deserves it. J shall be
g.ad to see poetic justice accomplished.
For years Europe has bowed before the
prestige of British arms and has been
cowed and overcome by English threats.
Every modern state has suffered at
Englana's hands.
"Now, at least, we see that the cat
has not such fearful claws after all.
Every fresh British defeat makes fools
of US all. Personally, believe that
Beers will bring England to terms in
short order.
"Her recent discomfitures are not
ordinary ones. They disclose fearful
incompetency on the part of the British
generals who have not faced civilized
foe for hearly half century. In q word,
the turning point of British power has
been reached"

Tried to Suicide.

J. r. Willard, under arrest at Salem
for the murder of G. D. Perry, aud
confied in the county Jail, tried to com.
NIT suicide last Tuesday night. In
some manner he had secured knife,
and when everybody had retired he
plunged is into his breast just below
the heart, inflicting only slight
wound. Then he tried to sever the
arteries of both arms below the elbow,
but did not succeed further than to
make two gashes. His wounds bled
freely, and when found by Sheriff
Durbin's deputies he was very weak.
He win be all right in few days.
Willard has been confined in the
county Jail since the latter part of
October.
The only reason that Willard could
give for his act was despondency. He
had been suffering from insomnia for
nearly a week. and often passed q |
night without closing his eyes. There |
s no indication of insanity, as was at.

Two VIII Be Asked for by the Navy De-

Two VIII Be Asked for by the Navy De-
partment.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The navy departmsht purposes to ask
congress for 81, ,0OO.OOO to build two
first-class training ships of 5000 tons
displacement each, the vessels to be
sheathed and provided with military
sail power as we'll as steam propulsion.
Such ships are declared to be indispen-
sable to maintaining force of skilled
seamen to work the warships now in
feet.
1t is estimated that the two projected
vessels cannot be completed within
two years, and by that time the Essex,
the Alliance and the Lancaster, which
are now utilized for the training pur
poses, will be condemned and laid up
in Rotten Row. 1t is regarded as
extremely important that vessels
adapted to the duty shall be ready to
take their places, and in the opinion Of
the chief of navigation, who is in
charge of the matter, the only solution
of the question is to build special ships
fitted for the service.
The suggestion to utilize the regular
cruisers and battle ships for drilliog
green men and giving them experience
by mixing them into the regular crews
is met by The objection that such
methods have been repeatedly tried
with the result of demoralizing the
skilled crew, and that its poor economy
to place novices on expensive ships,
where every man, from the captain
down. must be an expert in bis partic-
ular line. Eyen fireman from the
best merchant ship or the largest
establishment ashore is considered
an unsafe man in the hold of q war
ship.

Belden Hill had a bunnie's foot
when he wended out TO the Cedar

noon ahead of his little band of play
ers, who had a few hours before been

gressed the hard work to which he
has been subjected on account of the

The Rock Island team secured its
first tally in the second. Botenus, who
hit safe, coming home while Ball was

the third, after one man had died,
Brott singled and stole, and scored on

KING COFFEE

Caused Weak Heart and other Trouble.

troubled me greatly, and the trou BILE
was gradually getting worse while l
was using coffee.

sleepless nights. These have all gone
since the drug (and one may well call
coffee drug) has been dismissed. A
neighbor, Mr.. A. Woodruff, was a con-
lirmed dyspeptic for years until he
Now he is entirely cured and thanks
Postum for it. Mrs. Nj. Munson and
Mr.. ID. S. Barclay, friends. have found
great relief from leaving off coffee and
using Postum Food Coffee.
/ have made many inquiries among
quite list of persons who have been
using Postum, and always find good
accounts where it has been prepared
properly. You cannot impress that
point too strongly on the people where
they once make Il trial of Postum, for
if it is'not thoroughly boiled, it has a
fiat taste and that drives them away
from it, whereas. if they only knew
how delicious it is when we'll made
and how their health would be i'm
proved by its use, they would do al
most any way to insure getting good
Postum. l can send you long list
of names of those who really know
how to make Postum and use it
every day, if you care for them.

1T MERITS ATTENTION.
A New Preparation Which Cures Dys-

Remarkable Curative Properties.

y new remedy, which may revolu-
tiOniZe the treatment of stomach h
troubles, has recently been placed be-
fore the public and bears the endorse
ment of many leading physicians and
scientific men.
The remedy is not wonderful Sc
cret discovery, nor patent medicine.
neither is il claimed to cure anything
except indigestion and stomach trou-
bles with which nine-tenths of our
nation are afflicted.
The remedy is in the form of pleas

impurities) bismuth and Golden Seal
they are sold by druggists generally
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made
with these tablets show that they
possess remarkable digestive power,
one grain of the active principle being
sufficient To thoroughly digest 5000
times it's own weight of lean meat,
egg, oatmeal or similar wholesome
foods; these tablets do not act on the
bowels like after-dinner pills, nor in
organ. but the manner in which they
cure all forms of Indigestion is this:
They act entirely upon the food eaten,
digesting it completely, nourishing
every tissue and nerve in the body;
they simply perform the work of di-
gestion. thus giving the weak stomach
rest and assistance sufficient to enable
it to recover its normal strength. This
is the reason SO many pretended cures
have signally failed; they do not
furnish the digestive power which is
the one thing above all others that
the stomach of the dyspeptic lacks.
and unless that lack is supplied, it is
waste of time to attempt to restore
the enfeebled stomach by means of

If the stt .ach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion it

Share Honors With Union Soldiers at the
| Government Island Yesterday Afternoon
| Addresses Here by Profs. Z. v. Robin
son and L. G. Daugherty, Patriotic. Mu-
sic. Etc.
Old soldiers and their families and
friends yesterday afternoon gathered
at the graves of their fallen comrades
in Chippiannock cemetery, and there,
spreading flowers and flags. held the
closing exercises of Decoration day,
1899. Patriotic selections were
played by Bleuer's band, the bugle
cali was sounded, and PRAYER offered
by Rev Ira w. Allen, Jr., of Central
Presbyterian church. Prof. Z. V.
Robinson, principal of the High
school, delivered the opening address,
eulogizing the boys of '6l and '9S for
the service they performed for their
country. In days of peace men are
prone to become self centered and to
forget that they have duties unto
others as well as selfish interests,
said Mr.. Robinson. In time of war in
the hearts of vast ma iority of men,
the duty they owe their country dis
places the purely selfish, and they
are ready to sacrlhce themselves on
the altar of patriotism. The speaker
commended the custom of observing
Memorial day-it compels men to
pause and reflect on the sacrifices
made by others in the cause of free
dom and right, and the duty each
owes to the race. He warned his
hearers that the question of freedom
and slavery will again have to be
fought. Russia, ruled by an absolu-
tism the like of which the world has
never seen, and controlling a hundred
million people, and the resources of Il
large portion of Europe and Asia,
threatens to engulf the nations which
stand for enlightenment and freedom.
The struggle between freedom and
absolutism is inevitable, and when it
comes will America be prepated to
throw her weight into the scales in
behalf of human freedom and ad
vancement?
