cArARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant. Simple but safe and Eneotual
Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been con-
sidered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are full or bloating sensa-
ton after eating, accompanied with sour OF
watery risings, formation of gases causing
pressure on the heart and lungs, and diff
cult breathing headaches, tickle appetite
nervousness and general played out, Ian
quid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show Shiny,
inilamed condition
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which causes
the food to be readily, thoroughly digested
before it has time TO ferment and irritate the
delicate mucous surface of the stou ach To
secure prompt and healthy digestion is the
one necessary thing to do and when normal
digestion is secured the catarrhal condition
will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the safest and
best treatment is to use after each meal a
tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic. Pepsn,
little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being patent medicine can
be used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite will follow their regu-
lar use after meals.
Mr.. N. J. Booher, of 271O Dearborn St.,
Chicago ILL.,, says 'Catarrh is local CON
dition resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane of the
nose becomes infamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach Medical authorities
prescribed for me for three years for catarrh
of the stomach without cure, but to-day 1
am the happiest of men after using only one
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 cannot
find appropriate words to express my good
feeling. / have flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest as
well as the simplest and most convenient
remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh
Of the stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,

DISSATISFACTION IN SAMOA

Because Hostilities Ceased Before
Chief Mataafa Was Suppressed.
Auckland, N. o., May 5.-Advices re-
ceived here from Apia, Samoa, to April
27, state that the rebel loss by the
shelling of the Mataafan stronghold
at Vailima by the warships of Great
Britain and the United States was
quite heavy Many of the rebels were
wounded. The house in which the late
Robert Louis Stevenson lived was rid
died with shot.
The New Zealand government steam
er Tutanekai has arrived here with
dispatches announcing the request of
the international commissioners that
the inhabitants peacefully await their
arrival from San Francisco. A meet
ing of the three consuls, in view of
this message, was held, but without re-
suit, the German consul dissenting
from the propositions of the other two
consuls.
There will be no more fighting, ac-
cording to a message sent by Admiral
Kautz to Washington. Mataafa has
agreed to keep outside the lines pre-
scribed by the British and American
consuls. A majority of the inhabitants
are highly dissatisfied with the cessa-
tion of hostilities. They say thst
Mataafa is beaten now. and that the
trouble would all be ended in a week

ed. The rebels are delighted at the
delay, which will give them time to
refill cartridge shells and build more
forts.

RAYoRS THE WHIPPING POST.

New York's Governor Would Thus
Punish wife Beaters and Cruelty.
, Albany, May 5.-Governor Roose-
welt yesterday gave a hearing on the
application for a pardon for Henry
Hendricks, who is serving life SEN
tence in Auburn prison for the killing
of his wife. whom he shot to death
because of his mad infatuation for
another woman. Hendricks, who is
60 years old, has served % years of
his sentence. The governor denied the
application. He said that to impose a
life sentence upon man of Hendricks
caliber was a miscarriage of justice
by pardoning the wife murderer. On
the trial the jury stood IL to 1 for
conviction for murder in the first de-
gree, but, the odd man remaining firm
in his position, a compromise was af-
fected whereby Hendricks received a
life sentence.
From the remarks made by the gov
ernor wife murderers, wife beaters
and those who cruelty treat children
and dumb animals will receive no
mercy at his hands upon applications
for pardons or Communication of SEN
tences. The governor is a strong ad-
vocate of the establishment of a whip
ping post for such as these, and says
If such bill is introduced in the next
legislature he will sign it.

OUR Hazleton contemporaries are
after those politicians-chronic office
seekers-who are unwilling to pay for
their political advertising, and the
editors have become tired, they say,
of supporting the ticket "for the sake
of the party" And they are right.
Schuylkill county is full of just that
kind of statesmen looking for fat
salaries, and when they secure the
Office ignore the newspapers that sup
ported them. Some of them even go
so far as to secure an interest in a
newspaper in order to reap benefit
from the printing in their Office.

The war department is satisfied from
the dispatches received from General
Otis that the American commander
has put aside the insurgent temporiz-
ing over peace and has turned his at
tention to m~st aggressive tactics. The
wisdom of this course was fully ap-
proved by officials here, who have fore
seen that the rebels needed further
chastisement in order to bring them
TO realizing sense of their position.
The early dispatches from General Otis
clearly defined the general plan of his
l1test movements He is moving in
two main columns, Major General Mac
Arthur pushing straight forward over
q nine mile stretch of country be-
tween Calumpit and the latest rebel
stronghold San Fernando, and Major
General Lawton directing a strong
force under Colonel Sumner to prevent
the insurgents from retreating from
San Fernando into the mountains to
the north. The later dispatches show
ed there had been hot work in the
execution of this movement, particu-
larly in General MacArthur's advance
On San Fernando. The defeat of Luna
at San Tomas and the scattering Of the
insurgent forces leaves Mac Arthur
four miles from San Fernando, with
a clear road before him. He was to

Township Government.

The new law to take effect in Feb
ruary, 1900, revolutionizes township
management For all townships of
the state elections are to be held as
heretofore, on the third Tuesday of
February, but the new officers do not
qualify until the second Saturday
after election.
The present township committee is
legislated out of Office at the next
township election, when three new
committeeman must be elected one
for one year, one for two years and
one for three years, and hereafter one
each year for three years. An Off
cial bond for constable, collector,
oYerseer of the poor, etc, must be
filed in the county clerks office. Any
person with authority to administer
an oath or Affirmation, may take the
official oath of all township officers,
said oaths to be filed with the town
ship clerk.
Constables under the new law, may
be elected to the number equal to the
number of justices of the peace to
which such township is entitled, and
their term of Office hereafter shall be
for three years and shall begin and
end on the first day of May, but all
the constables now in Office shall
serve out the time for which they
were elected The powers and duties
Of township committees are consider
ably enlarged, and they will have
powers somewhat similar to common
councils in towns and bOroughs.
It is intended that all miscellaneous
township laws are repealed, as over
fourteen pages are used in naming
former township laws that are taken
off the statute.

WHAT To DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulflls every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. 1t conects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to go often during the day,
and to get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary effect OF
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. AT druggists fifty cents
or one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and book
that tells more about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail, if you send your address to DIR.

In life insurance circles the one sub
ject of discussion is the decision of
the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn, which takes the
ground that directors of life insur-
ance companies have no right to use
discretion in dealing with com
pany's surplus. He holds that the
directors cannot legally set aside a
certain portion of the income as a
basis upon which the earnings OF
policies shall be estimated. 1t is be.
ieved that if this decision stands
persons holding endowment policies
in New York companies will derive
much larger benefits from their poll
cies than they had reason to expect,
as each policy holders share of the
annual profits of the company in
which he is insured will be based on
the total surplus of the company, in
stead of on stated portion of that
surplus

assassins last evening. He was seated
on the piazza of his residence with a

from a lot directly in front of the
house and one of them emptied the
contents of both barrels of a shotgun
at him. The shots took effect in his

The great Citadel, constructed at a
height of 253 feet above the level OF

fort, and will be utilized hereafter
principally for barrack purposes. The
old cannon have been dumped and re-
placed by a few Maxims. The Citadel
was looked upon as the Dunkirk of
America. 1t was constructed at an
enormous cost. A large number of
Maroons were imported from Jamaica
to assist in the construction of tho
works, but the mortality among them
was so great that the British govern
ment considered 1t advisable to send
