CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but Effectual
Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1899-04-27

The usual symptoms are a full or
bloated sensation after eating, accomp-
anied some times with sour or watery
risings, formation of gases, causing
pressure on the lungs and heart and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and general played
out and languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of
stomach could be seen it would show g
Shiny, inhamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
disease is found in treatment which
causes the food to be readily and
thoroughly digested before it has time to
ferment and irritate the delicate mucous
surfaces of the stomach.
To secure prompt and healthy digest
ion is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have dIsap-
peared.
According to DIR. Harianson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diastrse,
Aseptic Pepsin. a 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 pat
ent medicine, can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healty appe-
tite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. NJ. Booher, of 27l0 Dearborn ST.,
Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a neglected
cold in the head, whereby the lining
membran of the nose becomes infamed
and the poisonous discharge therefrom,
passing back into the throat, reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
for me three years for catarrh of the
stomach without cure, but today I am
the happiest of men alter using only one
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. !
cannot find appropriate words to express
my good feeling. I have found flesh,
appetite and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form oi

bloating after meals.

TRAGIC END OF
A ROMANCE
Story of Lieutenant Sisson, a Manila
Hero, and His Fiancee.

COLUMBUS, Neb +, April 25.-The death
OF Lieutenant Lester E. Sisson, of the
Fret Nebraska, at Manila, and the find
ing of his inancee's photograph near his
heart, where the fatal bulled entered, is
the final chapter in the pretty romance,
the introduction of which was written
in this village several years ago.
The photograph is the likeness of Miss
Anna Taylor, one of the bellies of Colum-
bus. She is the youngest daughter of
John F. Taylor, a wholesale lumber mer-
chant and distinguished citizen of Ne
braska.
Today the young girl is inconsolable,
and her grief is pathetic to witness. She
is at the residence of her parents, and
none but the most intimate friends of
the family are admitted. The fnancee
of the dead soldier has not been known
publicly as the betrothed of the dashing
lieutenant, although their attachment
was generally understood throughout
Columbus and mutual friends knew OF
the engagement.

MISSION MEN
Oregon Warehouses Hold 6,OoO,o 900
Pounds of Last Years Clip, of
Which The DaIles Has 100000
Pounds.

PENDLEToN, Or, April 25.-Indications
point toward an extremely sluggish wool
market, with no dealings before July
and August. With an opening then of
active buying, the market will be belated
two to three months. This is the view
of the representative buyers, commission
men and woolgrowers of Eastern Oregon.
Figures gathered from the various
wool centers give a total of 5000 900
pounds remaining unsold from the clip
of 1898. OF this, The Dalles has by far
the largest amount, having $500 900
pounds in the warehouses, one house
alone containing 1900, 900 pounds.
There is no precedent for the present.
situation in wool here and at all Eastern
Oregon towns. The enormous quantity
of the 1898 unsold wool on hand fills the
warehouses to over flowing, even the
platforms being in some places crowded,
and yet already the 1899 clip is due to
arrive from the hundreds of shearing
camps, and there is no room in which to
store it.
Absolutely no sales are being made,
though small quantity moves out from
time to time on consignment to Eastern
buying houses.
Over in Utah, buyers have arrived
from the East, and are offering 8 to 10
cents for territory woole. This price
fails to induce growers to part with their
holdings, and attempts to buy have so
far proved futile. Growers hereabouts
declare that the Scent figure will not
touch pound of wool, 1898 or 1899 clip,
but that 10 cents would take some from
those who feel the pressure of financial
obligation, matured or nearly due.
Here, no offers are being made, how
ever, buyers having failed to begin i'm
portuning for purchases.
A well-known buyer, whose headquar-
ters are in Pendleton, stated today that
woolgrowers on the North Pacific coast
have loet full Az cents on every pound
of wool held from the 1898 clip, and that
the loss cannot be recouped. He said
that buying manufacturers Chose not
already stocked up) know their vantage
ground, and will refuse to give way an
inch in their stand they have taken.
It is probable the 1899 clip will be
somewhat below 1S98's in grade. the cold
winter having caused some break in the
fiber, and in many bands reducing the
total yield of wool per fleece.
Strange as 1t may seem, however, the
wool men are apparently in good
financial position, and maintain their
credit with banks and stores. This il
true to remarkable degree, and indi.
Gates wonderful vitality in the wool
growing industry of the North Pacific
coast.
