FOR TINE BLOOD LIVER, LUNGS.

Experience has shown to physicians
that the majority of diseases have their
origin in the arrangement or disease Of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. The stomach Is the
receptacle in which food is received and
the laboratory in which il is prepared to
nourish the different parts of the body.
1t prepares brain nourishment in ono
way, nerve nourishment in another,
muscle nourishment in another. When
the stomach is Tout of order" these
various forms of nourishment are only
partly or irnperfectly prepared, and
nerve, muscle, or brain, as the case
may be. is only partly fed, and the result
is pain, which is Natures protest and
warning. The pain may be in the head
or in the heart, but you must reach Il
through the stomach or you can't cure
it. That is the philosophy on which DR..

the stomach and digestive and nutritivo

liver, lungs and other organs by curing
the diseased condition OF the stomach
which prevents the proper nourishment
of the various organs and corrupts them
by its own diseased condition, in tho

HAVE SURVEYORS OUT

Railroad men here say that next
year viii see Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory covered by a network of rail-
roads. The work has been given a good
start this year, and next year win see
its completion.
Both the Santa Fe and Rock Island
roads have several surveying parties
in Oklahoma and the Indian Territory,
and lines are being run practically over
the entire extent of country. These
surveys will be later referred to the
engineering department and executive
officials. and the routes Of extensions
mapped out. Both roads have now
parallel lines from the Kansas to the
Texas line, and these main lines will
have many spurs before the end of
next year.
The development of Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory is showing the
richness of that section of country. and
the railroads see profit ahead in taking
care of it. Besides its agricultural pro-
auctions, much mineral wealth lies in
portions of the Territory.

AN EARLY CONVENTION.
Democratic National Committeeman
Figuring on February.

Chicago. Aug. 22.-The Record says:
The Democratic national committee is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of holding
the Democratic national convention
two or three months earlier than in
former years. Word came to Chicago
today that a meeting of the committee
is to be held in October or November,
after Senator Jones comes home from
Europe, to discuss the question. 1t is
not considered Improbable that the
convention will be called to meet in
February. Some of the committeeman
and Democratic leaders are in favor of
holding the convention to nominate a
national ticket as early as February.
Others favor holding the convention in
May or June.
The advocates of a February cOnven-
ton contend that it will be necessary
to place the national ticket in the field
and adopt a platform as early as Feb
ruary or March in order to perfect or
ganization and bring together the
fighting factions in the party. They de-
clare it will be possible to reunite the
party and bring a solid organization to
the polls in November if the convention
is held in February.
The committeeman who oppose the
early convention movement declare the
Philippine situation will be unsettled
at that time. They say it will be phys
ically impossible for the administration
to end the war on the island of Luzon
by February and therefore no one will
be able to predict what the situation
will be in May or June.

ARE BUYING PIANOS
Evidence of the Prosperity of Kansas
Farmers, Says Paul Morton

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Paul Morton is
Santa Fe road has shipped more pianos
and organs over it's lines into western
territory in the last three months than
have been shipped over that line since
1898.
When the farmers of Kansas and Ne
braska are buying pianos there is some
thing good the matter with those states.
An Illinois firm has shipped 1000 bug
g1es and wagons to the state of Nebras-
ka alone the last six months. Today the
Erie road starts a daylight special pla-
carded train for BinghamtOn, N. Y,
the distributing point for sixteen car
loads of pianos and organs manufac-
tured in Chicago. This is only a part
of the indications of good times at
hand. 1t is an example of the best
news of the railways that there is to-
day and it is just such things as this
that are making railroad men feel good.

Lost In the Great Closed Land.
LFrom Public Opinion.1


It is strange that in these days of ex-
ploration there should still be a land
which has never been penetrated by a
white man. Lhassa, the capital of Thi-
bet, is the one city on the face of the
earth which no stranger can enter. This
land of mystery, whose locked gates so
many brave men have tried to open, is
IA times as big as England, and is three
miles above the level of the sea. It's
population is about as large as the pop
ulation of London. Only one English
man has ever been in the sacred city
Thomas Manning, who reached 1t in
1911. He was soon sent back again,
however, and since that time travellers
and missionaries have riSked their lives
in attempts to solve the riddle of the
unknown land.
Mrs Lucie Rijnhart the American
wife of a Dutch missionary in China,
has reached the furthest point in Thi-
bet ever trodden by stranger, but
she has paid dearly for her courage.
It was Mrs. Rijnhart who, with her
husband, assisted Captain Welby and
Lieutenant Malcolm, two English OIL
GERS, in their recent journey across Thi-
bet, and since then the missionary and
his wife, with their little boy, hardly
more than a year old, resolved to do
what in them lay to carry the Gospel
into the heart of this strange country.
Today Iucie Rijnhart is back in her
home in little village on the borders
of Manitoba, her boy lies in a lonely
grave in wild Thibet, and her husband
less a miracle brings him home again.
For months they travelled, singing
hymns and distributing Bibles, as they
rode along the mountain streams. Then
their horses were shot, their men left
them, and they were helpless and alone.
ON the day before yesterday writes
the brave wife, my husband swan
across the river to get the people in the
tents to come with their animals to our
aid. He SWAN across and turned on the
bank to wave his hand at me. Then he
disappeared behind the rocks. For
three days I have waited for him to
come back, but he does not" And now
Lucie Rijnhart is alone in Manitoba,
her beautiful face worn with grief, her
child snatched from her, her husband
dead or worse than dead in the Great
Closed Land. What her husband is
suffering must be difficult to describe.
The Thibetans are not merciful with
strangers. "Intruders" are made to
ride on horseback on a wooden saddle
with a high back from which iron
spikes stick out horizontally; or to
stand on a log of wood with their legs
thrust as wide apart as the strength
of I've men can force them. Redhot
irons are held within an inch of their
eyes, guns are fired close to their heads
and the rack is as common as in the
days of the Inquisition. 1t is to be hop
ed the brave missionary is dead, rather
than enduring the tOrtureS which other
travellers have suffered. All efforts to
find him have been in vain and Mrs.
Rijnhart is mourning him as the last
of the martyrs of Thibet.

GEMS IN PANAMA BAY.

Especial Cor of the Chicago Record
The magnificent pearls which Orna-
ment the crown of Spain, and which
are so much admired by tourists who
visit the cathedrals at Seville and To-
ledo, were found in oyster shells in the
bay of Panama, and the large strings
and clusters which the Spaniards took
from the Indians both on the north and
west coasts of South America came
from the same source. Pearl fishing is
still carried on to considerable ex-
tent at Panama. In the spring of 1899
a boy Is years old found an oyster that
concealed a jewel now offered for sale
in Paris for 100000 He received $4,000
for it from negro Spectator named
Justiana. The latter brought it to Pan
anna and sold it to Felix Erhman, the
banker, for a considerable advance on
that price. At the Erhman banking
house the other day 1 saw an assert
ment of pearls valued all the way from
$50 to 81, 600, which are Panama prices.
and considerably lower than those that
would be asked for the same jewels in
London, Paris or New York. Few pearls
are sent to New York, because of the
duty imposed upon them by our govern
ment- Those that go are smuggled.
The annual harvest of pearls here
will average a value of about $780, 600.
There are several firms engaged in the
business-Prosper Penal, Pisa Y Pisa,
Arosenema HermanOs, Madura Her
not do any fishing, but buy pearls Of
spectators.
Pearl oysters are found in all parts
of Panama bay. Two years ago an or
binary fisherman found one near Ia
bOga island, not more than half a mile
from the regular steamship anchorage,
that contained a pearl worth AGO. but
the largest beds are about thirty miles
from the city. The oysters are much
larger than those found in northern
waters. and the shells are even larger
still. The oysters are rank and cop
perry, but are healthful and are eaten
by the natives. The smaller ones are
often brought to the Panama market.
The pearl islands. as they are called,
compose an archipelago on the west
side of Panama bay, about thirty miles
from the steamship landing. There are
sixteen islands and several large rocks,
lagos of negroes and mixed Indians, a
population of perhaps 1000 all told en-
gagged in pearl diving The islands are
low and heavily timbered and the soil
is fertile. The cocoanut groves and long
stretches of white beach that gliSten
like silver in the sun make a pretty
picture. Most of the islands belong to
the merchants I have named who cul-
tivate the soil as well as manage the
fisheries. The largest, called Rey,
which has about one-half the popula-
ton, is fifteen miles long and seven
broad. San AIiguel-St. Michael-the
chief town and headquarters of the
fisheries, is nothing more than a cluster
of palm matched nuts. Several stores
are built of wood and corrugated iron,
and a church of stone is larger and
more costly than all the rest of the
buildings of the town combined.

cold From Cape Nome piatriot.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 22-The steamer
Roanoke arrived from St. Michael.
Alaska, with $50 miners and gold dust
estimated at $3.50, 600. Most of this was
brought out of the Cape Nome district.
G. Price had the largest Individual
amount. about $4,000. The failure of
the Roanoke to bring a large amount
of gold dust from Dawson is explained
by the fact that she failed to make
connections with the Yukon river boats
at St Michael.
