To Bring Congressmen to the Coast.

Senator Addison q. Foster is work.
ing hard to bring a delegation of East
ern senators and congressman to the
coast to visit Washington and Alaska.
On their return East the senator would
have them visit other points of interest
and growing communities about which
little is known in the East. The most
influential men of both houses, men
who are ON the committees which have
to deal with affairs OF the West, and
particularly of Puget sound, Alaska
and the Pacific islands, are the ones
Senator Foster desires to bring to the
Wpst.

The party that went in search of the
body of a. J Cloutrie has returned to
Seaside and reports having found the
remains about a mile and half in the
back trail from where the bodies of
Radir and Hcikmann were found.
Coutrie was evidently the first of the
party to die, as his body had been
dragged down the side of hill for
over 100 yards and placed under log
in sheltered place. The body was
well preserved.

THE REBELS SUE FOR PEACE
End Of Hostilities Is Rapidly
Drawing Near.
OTIS REFUSES RECOGNITION
Their Form OF Government Irregular
General Prai-e for the Brave yoIun-
teer- Who win he Rewarded.

Washington, May 1.-The end OF the
Filipino Instruction is in sight. in
the opinion of army and navy officials.
A telegram received from General
Otis today announced that Aguinaldo
had taken what is regarded as the first
step toward surrendering. namely, re-
questing cessation OF hOstilities.
The text of General Otis dispatch fol-
lows:
manila, May AFTER taking Cal
umpit, MacArthur's division crossed
the Rio Grande river in the face of
great bstacles, driving the concentrate
ed forces OF the enemy back oi the rail-
road two miles. Macarthur reports
that the passage of the river is re.
markable military achievement, the
success of which is due to the daring
skill and determination of Colonel
Funston, under the discriminating
control of General Wheaton. our cas-
ualties are slight, the number not yet
being asceItained.
"This morning the chief OF staff
from the commanding general of the
insurgent forces entered our lines to
express admiration Of the wonderful
feat Of the American army in forcing
the passage of the river, which was
thought impossible. A staff officer re-
ports that the insufgent commanding
general has received from the insurg-
ent government directions to suspend
hostlties pending negotiations for
termination of the war. The staff Off
Ger with his party is now en- route to
Manila, and will soon arrive.
"Lawton's forces are well in hand
in the vicinity of Angat, east Of Cal
umpit, where he is waiting for supplies
to be sent tomorrow.
yesterday force of 1900 insurg-
ents attacked the troops ut Taguig, aud
were driven back by the Washington
regiment. Our loss was two killed
and II wounded. OTIS"
Secretary Alger said, as the depart
ment closed, that, while it could not
be said that peace was assured, he re-
garded the prospects as of the bright
est, and felt confident that the end of
the instruction was near. To his
mind, there would be a repetition Of
the negotiations which were had be-
fore Santiago. The secretary left
Washington tonight for 10 days trip
in tine West, and it gave him great
satisfaction to leave atfairs in such
promising shape.
Everybody is praising the volun-
teefs, marked change in the senti-
ment expressed few days ago, when
it was understood that the same men
were pleading to be brought home.
Colonel Funston came in for the most
commentator, even the regular officers
taking note with admiration of the fact
that his achievements We're all strictly
within the lines of the plans laid down
for him by his superior officer, General
Wheaton.
General Corbin said that every vol
. unteer who participated in the fight.
ing in the Philippines since peace was
declared should have a medal of honor.
BY the terms of their enlistments they
were entitled to Withdraw from the
service, but they had remained volun-
tarily, performing more than was re-
luired OF them, which was more than
the ordinary duty of soldier.

sTOMACHs THAT WON'T WORK
That Retain the Food and Refuse to Digest It, Make the Head Heavy and the Nerves Weak, Need Stuarts
 Dyspepsia Tablets.

There is a cure for dyspepsia. Sufferers who have tried noxious nostrums will prob ably be skeptical, but skepticism vanishes when Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are tried. Whether the trouble is dyspepsia of long standing, or merely a simple case of indi- gestion, relief is prompt and pronounced. The less the trouble the fewer tablets need be taken.
 Heaviness after eating, sour stomach as indicated by belching, fatigue with slight exertion, or with no exertion at all; dis furbed sleep, nervousness, constipation, de- presson, "bues," these things can con- mcnly be set down symptoms of dys- pepsia. And dyspepsia is merely indiges- tion in an aggravated form.
 By promoting perfect digestion, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets produce strong nerves. restful, refreshing sleep, pure blood, and good. sound, healthy flesh. They make the skin clear, the eyes bright, the mind cheerful
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a medi- cine, and more than a medicine They di- gest the food and make it easy of assinila- tion, and they relieve the infamed, dis eased condition of the membraneous lin ings and the glands of the stomach and bowels. They help the digestive organs over the hard places, and put them into healthy, active condition. They effect quick and permanent cure. You don't have to continue taking them forever, still it is well to have a box handy and take one at the first return of the trouble.
 Perfectly well people are made sick hy eating too much, or unwholesome food but not if they take a tablet after eating. Treatment with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets does not necessitate dieting or any change of habits They digest the proper food and act upon the other kind in such way as to make it pass off quickly and harmlessly. You may eat and drink what you like, when you like, and as much as you Nike if you take a tablet afterwards.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists at 5c for full-sized package.

FAMOUS STARR
 THE FAVORITE Big Sales Recorded Recently by Manager PearCe OF JESSE FRENCH COMPANY The Mississippi Industrial Institute and College and Other Educational Institutions Supplied
 from Here
OF JESSE FRENCH COMPANY

After careful examination of the merits of the various pianos on the market, the Mississippi Industrial Institute and Col lege, located al Columbus, last week bought of the Jesse French Piano and Organ com pany twelve of the famous Starr pianos Tine management of this big Mississippi school went about the purchase in a sys- tematic way. and after examining many other makes gave Manager Pearce the or der. His conclusion was that the Starr was the most durable, finest toned and easiest kept in tune, and consequently the best adapted to the severe wear and tear of school use.
 It is interesting to note that Dr. Patrick, the distinguished president of Judson h. stitute, in this state, came to the same conclusion several months ago, and bought twenty-four Stars for his institution. In his case, however he had a practical knowledge of the durability of the Starrs, for several had been in hard service at Jud- son for several years.
 few months ago the Noble Institute at Anniston, purchased two Starrs, and the Birmingham Seminary also purchased four new Starrs this monUa The Pollock Stephens Institute has recently purchased very fine Chickering Grand
 From the evidence, it is apparent that the Starr Is the leading piano of the country When great institutions of learning set out to supply themselves with suitable instru- ments they do not rely upon prices, names or favoritism but go in for the best, and the verdict of this competent jury is that the Starr is the very best obtainable, and they show their faith by their works and buy the Starr every time This is an indis- putable argument, and prospective piano buyers should profit by the good judgment of the heads of these distinguished schools Manager Pearce is to be congratulated upon these fine evidences of the worth and popularity of his pet-the famous Starr.

DEWEY'S OPINION.
He Thinks Filipinos Are Very Intelligent
People,

New York, September 1.-THE World
publishes a dispatch from Gibraltar,
giving an Interview with Admiral Dew
ey just before the Olympia sailed for
New York. The Worlds correspondent
asked the Admiral for statement of
his views as to the Philippine policy.
II have little to say he said. Rec
concentrations Of the committee of
which l am a member are laid before
President Mckinley"
Did you read what Mr.. Schurman,
one Of the commissioners, had to say
upon his return from the Philippines?
"As he is quoted in newspapers he
definitely expresses my position"
you may add" the admiral said with
great earnestness, II have not changed
my opinion, which l stated in the early
days at Manila, that I considered the
Fiiipinos more capable of self-govern-
ment than the Cubans took the keen
est interest in those Filipinos who were
employed at the arsenal in Cavite, and
often l was surprised by their intelli-
gence. With fair, properly directed op-
portunities there are great possibilities
in the Filpinos."
