NICK YOUNG'S UMPIREs.
League President Has Practically
Completed His Staff

Washington, March 25-President
Young is waiting only for the National
League disposition of the St. Louis
club before announcing his umpire ap-
pointments. While not given out official
ly, it is asserted on good authority that
there will be only one new man on the
staff when the season opens, and he will
be Tom Burns, the old Brooklyn player
who last year ran the Newark N j.
club Burns has the Endorsement of
nearly every club owner in the league
Barring the probability of a circuit re-
duction, the other eleven officials will
be Lynch, Emslie. Connolly, Swart-
wood, Warner, Andrews, Snyder, O'Day,
Mcdonald, Smith and Gaffney.
Smith and Warner, although umpiring
only during the closing months of last
season. showed themselves to be ac-
curate officials. The former is the son
of ex-Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia
while the latter is a st. Louis boy and
a graduate of the Interstate League.
Emslie, Lynch. O'Day, Swartwood and
Gafney have practically been decided
on as umpires, their assistants to be
named later.
Among the prominent old players in
dorsed for umpire berths are Latham,
Bug Holiday, Camel, Pfeffer and
Jerry Denny Another wel1-backed can
didate is Fred Doe, the noted eastern
polo player. The IL men mentioned.
however, possess league experience and
have the preference. John Hunt, who
was a member of the staff last year,
will probably be called upon to do emer-
gency duty.

A Sign of the Times.

The advertising business is a good
barometer of the condition of trade.
Remington Brothers, one of the leading
newspaper agencies of the country,
find their business increasing so much
that they have taken larger quarters
and removed to the New York Life In
surance Building, No. 346 Broadway.
This is said to be the finest office build
ing in the world, being 400 feet long and
built of white marble. There is perhaps
no other agency that has succeeded IN
getting so many of the best advertisers
of the country for patrons as Reming
ton Brothers. The secret of their sue
cess is that they produce results. Ad-
vertising today is a science and without
the use of proper methods and papers
large sums of money are wasted. Rem
ington Brothers are using methods and
newspapers that give advertisers re-
suits Naturally, enterprising firms
need the services of an agency that can
plan advertising and make it success

LINCOLN MONUMENT
May Be Rebuilt In Springfield at
Cost of $4,000.

Springfield, ILL.,, March PA movement
for a wholly new and grandly adequate
monument to Abraham Lincoln. the same
to be erected in the heart of Springfield,
was started in the house this morning.
Representative AISchuler of Aurora, a
Democrat, lighted the fuse with his mi
nority report from the special committee
appointed last week to Investigate the old
Lincoln monuments condition. Fervent
oratory on the subject was poured out by
Mr.. Alschuler, by Representative Stewart
of Glgin and by Representative Allen.
The old Lincoln monument especially s
regards its present condition, was char
acterized a disgrace to the state Rep
reSentative Stewart raised his voice par
tfcularly against throwing away any more
money on it.
Mr.. Alschuler's proposition is to make
an appropriation of $500 900 for a Lincoln
monument to be erected as near the CEN
ter of Springfield as possible. There is
good reason for saying that the governor,
while not committed to this new view, is
inclined to favor it.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW
Why Dyspepsia Cures Have
Failed to Relieve You
THE FOLLOWING WILL EXPLAIN.

In reply to the question, Why have all
dyspepsia cures heretofore used failed to
cure? we'll known physician said:
For years we have known that there
pepsia and that each required separate
remedies. Yet we have always COM
bined these and prescribed them to be
taken in one dose without a thought of
one counteracting the effect of
the other, which they are bound
to do" This is one reason; another is
this-only recently has it been found
that food is not digested in the stomach
at all, but instead prepared by this or
gan for digestion in the intestines; now
all cures heretofore manufactured
have been directed toward assisting the
stomach to d gest what we eat, it stands
to reason that no benefit could possibly
be derived from their use. These two
mistakes, made by the manufacturers
of dyspepsia cures, would seem to ex-
plain sufficiently the cause of failure
to cure. but stronger reason than
these can be given. 1t is found in the
treatment of that most dangerous and
prevalent form of dyspepsia, intestinal
indigestion; for this disease there has
never been any remedy known to the
profession, caused as it is by bacteria;
no germlcide strong enough to destroy
them could be given without great dan
ger to the patient. Consequently the
physician has been compelled to let the
patient suffer, and the result has been
that "a per cent of all the grown people
in our country are now dySpepticS;
moreover, nine out of every ten cases
of appendicitis are now known to come
from intestinal indigestion. Is it any
wonder, then, that dyspepsia, in all its
forms has become more prevalent every
year?
The new treatment is unlike anything
ever used before. 'tHyomei," the new
Australian dry air germicide, has
proven to be the most valuable discov-
cry made in medicine for years. 1t has
removed catarrh, bronchitis and con-
sumption from the list of dangerous
diseases, and now comes to the profess
sion again in new form, which, taken
internally, kills the bacteria causing
dyspepsia as readily as it does the bacilli
of catarrh and consumption, and this
without the least danger to the patient.
Manufactured as it is with different
remedies for each phase of dyspepsia
(something which has never been
thought of before, believe it will prove
an infallible cure for this disease. At
any rate adopting their usual method,

IT WAS ANTE MORTEM.
A Solemn Gathering of the City Repub-
licanS-So Enthusiasm.

The city republican party made an
ante-mortem statement last night 1t
was a composite statement contributed
to by z. T. Cason. j. N. Kirk, A. +.
Bray, J. NJ. Hinkle. Pat Boland, B.
Gallicll. Sewell Davis and Ben Calkins.
The latter made the most acceptable
speech, the pleasing feature of it be-
ing it's hrevity. There was a large
crowd in the Auditorium at the begin
ming. The music Of the Boston & Mon
tana band was excellent. 1t looked like
it was going to be an enthusiastic meet
ing, but everybody was disappointed.
Even the republicans themselves admit
ting that the talks were not vigorous:
that they lacked force, elOquence, snap
and above all logic. Mr.. Kirk was re-
ceiVed with Il show of enthusiasm. but
he did not come up to expectations in
his effort to magnetic. His was a
tedious. belabOred effort, marked by a
seemed to be grasping for something
that persstently kept just beyond his
reach. He would cling to that Old in
door phrase, "CiVil and religious lib
crty." It positively refused to fit snug
ly to any argument he sought to ad-
vance: hence the features of the failure.
After Mr.. Kirk took his seat the crowd
began to disperse, and when Mr.. Hinkle
finished the gallery was empty and SO
were many seats downstairs. The mu-
sic was appreciated. the urchins en-
ioyed the bonfire outside, but the event
of the evening was indeed a solemn

the custom in the past, IT seems, for
vast number of articles, ranging from
typewriteTs down to inkstands in value,
and from desks and chairs to punches
of envelopes in size, to disappear at the
end of every session. and the authorities
decided that for once, at least this sort
of stealing should be discouraged. The
detectives found plenty to do, and doz-

THE WORKS CLOSED.
1t Brings Gloom to the Business Men of
Great Falls.

Great Falls, April 1.-At noon to-day the
works of the Boston & Montana CONSOLE
dated Copper and Silver Mining company
in this city closed down and the men we're
told shortly petor" noon to pick up their
stuff and go home and at noon the entire
place was deserted. Something over 40
guards were placed over the works. The
officers of the company are out of sight
and if papers are to be served they will
have to be presented to the guards or
served on the smokestack. Possibly the
latter would be equally as valuable in
that respect as the guards. The latter
shut off every approach. There are two
on the bridge and several more in the
power house, while the path up to the
carpenter shop is closely watched by the
others. The mill is closed. the windows
nailed down and the doors barred and a
few more husky guards are in possession.
The receiver did not arrive on the after
noon train. There is a rumor that the re-
cever will arrive tonight on a special
train, but the rumOr apparently has no
good foundation.
On the streets the matter has been
subject for discussion all day. and taken
with the closing of the mines at Belt. it
has made most of the business men feel
blue. Even the closing of the smelter for
a week will be Immediately felt in bust
ness and the prospect o. possibly month
OF dleness is disheartenng. Many of
the workmen are up town this evening,
hut all of them are quiet and no trouble
from drunkenness is anticipated.
II is possible that some of the guards are
stationed so as to watch all incoming
trains and report the arrival of the re-
ceiver but if this is being done its man.
ner is very transformations. Meanwhile
speculation runs on the length Of time
the works will remain closed. The guesses
run from three days to 80. Even a day
means a loss to the company and to the
men. and should the affair drag out
month 1t would be a severe misfortune to
both and to the city at large. One whole
sale dealer in provisions said to-day
that he had seen falling off already
upon the announcement of the closing of
the works, and a few days of it would I'M
doubtedly cause almost a cessation of
business
