themselves Of the services of these emf
nent physicians.

and deformities, and guarantee a cure
in every case they undertake. At the
first interview a thorough examination
is made and if incurab1e you are frank

ment.

HE NIGHT HAVE KNOWN 1T.
Marconi Has Run Against an Injunc-
ton Suit Already.

New York, Oct. 19.-Lyman G. Larned
of Boston, has brought suit in the
United States circuit court against
Sig Marconi to restrain him and his
agents from using the system of wire
less telegraphy which Larned says is
an infringement of a patent now con-
trolled by him. The plaintiff in his
complaint alleges that the original in
ventor OF this system of telegraphing
was Amos Emerson Dolbear, and
patented by him October 3, 1886, under
Telephone company. These rights were
transferred to Larned on the 22nd of
July last. Larned alleges that the
means described in the patent under
which Marconi purports to carry on his
system can not be used for such work
and are not adapted for commercial
use. Larned asks damages in the sum
Of 100000 and for an injunction re-
straining Marconi from using the al
legged infringing system of biography

THE WHOLE THING.
johnson, the Kansas Man, Will Take
Senator Jones' Place.

Chicago, Oct 19@Chairman J. G.
johnson of the Democratic national ex-
ecutive committee has returned from
his conference with Senator Jones and
Ex-Governor Stone at st. Louis. The
most important news he brought back
was that P. J. Devlin. editor Of the
Bulletin, who has occupied a larger
place in the public eye for six months
than any other man in politics, had fin
ally handed in his resignation Mr..
Devlin was persuaded to take this step
by Senator Jones, to whom he appealed
for aid out of the dilemma in which he
had been placed by his enemies Sam
B. Cook will fill Devlin's place temper
ariIy. After Mr.. Cook returns to Mis-
souri, to take charge of his canvass for
the Democratic nomination for Secre-
tary of state, Mr.. Johnston will name
his successor. Mr.. johnson Will COM
municate with members of the national
committee at once to find out whether
they would rather meet in Washington
on January 8, Jackson's day, or Feb
ruary p, Washington's birthday, to de-
eide upon the time and place for hold
ing the next national convention. The
majority will rule in the selection of
the date.
The most important result Of the con-
ference with Senator Jones was to OBJ
tain from the veteran Democratic chief
again undertake to perform the active,
hard drudgery of managing a national
campaign. He told Mr.. Johnson that
while he will accept reelection as chair
man of the national committee he will
leave the performance of the real work
to Mr.. Johnson. Secretary Edwin Sef-

SLAVERY IN HAWAII.
Subject Was Taken Up by Council Of
Federation of Labor.

Washington, Oct. ia letter was
read at today's session of the council
of the American Federation of Labor
from the Federated Trades Council of
San Francisco, regarding the enforce
ment of alleged contract slave like con-
ditiOns prevailing in Hawaii and the
effort of the Hawaiian capitalists and
government to lure Italian and Portu-
guese laborers to Hawaii. 1t was re-
solved that the widest publicity be
given to this condition of affairs and to
warn WOrkmen of Italy and other cOun-
tries which may be appealed to to
avoid being entrapped into contracting
themselves into what is regarded as
practical slavery. 1t was also decided
to bring the matter to the attention of
the president.
The application for charter for the
Steam Filters National association
was approved.
President Gompers was instructed to
proceed to Milwaukee at the earliest
possible time to finally settle the dis
pute between the cOopers and other in
terests in that city.
President GomDers was directed to
devise a plan by which the workers of
the country may be more thoroughly
organized in the trade union movement
The controversy between the Wood
CarVerS and the WOOdWOrkerS' unions
of Chicago was also referred to Presi-
1dent -GomperS, to be assisted by Vice
President Kidd on the occasion of the
tOIAeI ) N1slI TO OnlcaSO en- route to
Milwaukee. 1t was decided to renew
the application to the president for
the extension Of executive clemency of
Ephraim W. Clark, confined in Thomas
ton, Maine, prison, upon a charge of
mutiny Clark has been confined in
prison for "A years.
1t was decided that a protest be
lodged with President Mckinley

Judge Paxson, of Pennsylvania, as a
member of the interstate commerce
commission.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans, is certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American bus
mess life, it is more often the result of
weak stomachs. of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and
PneunongaStric
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitatiOn and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores, and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ell
ementS in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart'S Dyspepsia. Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.

"BAD AS LIQUOR HABIT
Druggist Says of Coffee Drinking.


Drinking coffee at restaurants more
or less for several years, I was finally
forced to the conclusion that it was the
cause OF my dyspepsia, with the hungry

1t caused me not only distress but ser

the coffee drinking habit is as truly a
pernicious habit as the drinking of Ii
