CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
4 Pleasant, Simple but safe and Efectual
 Cure fol EG

A Pleasant, Simple but safe and EHectual
 Cure fol Ea.
 Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in curable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied with sour or Watery rls- ings, formation of gases causing a pressure on the heart and lungs, and difficult breathing; headaches, tickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the inte- rior of the stomach couhl be seen it would show slimy, infamed condi- ton.
 a1The cure for this common and obsti- nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before t has time to ferment and irrtate the delicate mucous surface of the stomach. To secure prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disap- peared.
 According to Dr. Haranson the saf- est and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Dias- taste, Aseptic, Pepsin, a little NuX, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety aud assurance that healthy ap- petite will follow their regular use af- ter meals.
 Mir. N. J. Booher, of PHO Dearborn St., Chicago. Ill.,, says: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neg lected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inf1amed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the threat reaches the stomach, thus pro- ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi- cal authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarra of the stomach without cure, but today l am the hap piest of men after using only one box ofStuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l can not find appropri ate words to express my good feeling. l have flesh, appe- tite and sound rest from their use.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of in- digestion, catarrh of the tomach, bill iousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.

A CoNTEMPTlBLE TRICK.

For several night past wires have been stretched a,ross walks from fences to trees, and it will doubtless prove fatal to some one if tile con temptible work is continued.
 Last night some sneaks stretched a wire on Walnut street near Mir. Peter Bridges home between Third and Fourth avenues, It was first discovered by some ladies, who were returning from the Presbyterian church and fell over them. Fortu- nately they escaped injury, but the falls could have been fatal in their results.
 The police should investigate this affair and if the guilty parties are caught up with, they should be made to suffer severely for theis work.

it through the House and after
it's passage, saw when shown,
the bad features of the bill.
When it came to cutting the OBJ.

it was on account of 4 technical

WASHINGTON.

ABOUT THE PROPOSED HIS srORICAL ROOM
 The present generation are like mod
 ern detective force in their anxiety to
 find out all about the forefathers and
 f0remothers who lived and accomplished
 so much under such different circum-
 stances from those of the present day.
 How we wish they had left plainer rec
 ords of their daily life, and when we see pieces of old furniture on the wood pile
 and bits of rare old china on the ash heap
 we wish they had been taken care of and
 preserved. The reason why many things
 have gone to ruin is beceus in the chang
 ing fortune of families there has been
 no place to put them, families break up,
 new people come in, who have no interest
 in the relics of past age, and the old
 papers are burned, the furniture is split for kinding wood, pewter ware goes to the rag man, etc., etc. Our ancestors
 were too busy to think of all future pog- abilities; life WAS a struggle with them, but if they can see the interest with which their descendants are seeking to gather up all which will throw light up- on the history of their times and the part they had in it, they must be gratif1ed. Looking at the subject in this light, the women of Washington, led by the Judea Chapter of D. A. R., have rented a room in which they hope in time to have an interesting collection. This will be in charge of faithful custodian, so that no one need be concerned for the safety of any article loaned or given to the society. In order to raise money for this purpose an entertainment will be given on the p Il of F. bruary so varied in it's feature that every one will find something of in- Cerest. Mr and Mrs B9insmade have generous y ff4red the use f the Gun nery haIi for the occasion. It will be necessary to hurry up the chores in order to ae3 the play, which will be given at , o'clock. The "Daughters," assisted by cousins who have not yet taken the D. A. R, will present "Cranford," which is 8 dcamatiz4ti of Mrs Gaskell's charm ing story of social life in the select circle of an old English village. It is quite out bA AA1C Al4C OA SAAII@AS 1AA 3LCQL bjCAbII cals-no plot and only mildly sensation al. It was gotten up in Spring1 field, Mass, and given there with great success in October last. Copies have been rented ] for the 22i. It is hoped it will be well l received. After the play 8 semi-colonial 1 supper will be passed. The menu pro- posed is baked beans and rye bread, 1 doughnuts and coffee, crackers and l cheese, tea and seed cake, also up-to-date scaIloped oysters, potato salad and French rolls. This is followed by a seance. Admission to the whole or any part of it, soc. All the guests are invited l to appear in colonial costume, but this is not required. Posters will be seen in various places. Tickets at the Postoffice l and at the door.
