the fact that the success Of the school
work depended largely upon the
hearty cooperation Of the public with
the teachers and pupils.
In presenting the diplomas to the
class he said that he hoped that they
would fully realize that it meant to
them the commencement of new and
broader life. He further said that this
hour is to you the greatest hour Of
your life and only hope that this in
stitution may be but stepping stone
to something higher.
The programme closed with benedic-
ton by Rev. Mr.. Bent. The class re-
fleets much credit upon the institu-

PLAN OF GOVERNMENT.
Great Britain Making Preparations

for Taking Charge After the War
is Over.
LONDON, June lit is learned by
the Associated Press that the govern
ment has at last decided upon a plan
for the civil settlement Of South
Africa. The details are kept secret, but
1t can safely be said that the Orange
River colony and the Transvaal will
become crown colonies, the latter
probably being renamed the Trans
vaal colony. Sir Alfred Miner, it is
declared. is to be high commissioner
of South Africa in spite of the opposl-
ton he has incurred.
The crown colony form of govern
ment can best be understood by ref
erence to the system in vogue in the
West Indies, Sierra Leone and Cey-
lon. Endeavors will be made to put
this in force as soon as possible in
the Transvaal and Orange River col
onies, though it is scarcely expected
that the details win be announced or
some parts of the work begun for a
few months. While the civil settle
ment will be drawn up SO as to be
eventually independent of military en-
forcement, it is realized that the in
itial work must be effected with the
cooperation of the troops. Sir AL
fred Miner appears to believe that
civil reorganization and military paci-
fication can proceed simultaneously
and that possible scattered rising
will not seriously retard the progress
of reorganization once it is begun. The
colonial Office is said to be of the
opinion, however, that the mainten-
ance of good-sized garrisons at such
centers as Bloemfontein Kroonstad,
johannesburg and Pretoria will be
necessary for a long time after the
crown colony system gets In working
order. For this reason and others put
forward by Sir Alfred Miner the idea
of granting an autonmous form OF
government has been abandoned. 1t
is believed, though 1t cannot be verb
fed, that a portion Of the Transvaal
will be partitioned off to Natal
The whole arrangement may be
roughly described as coinciding with
the views advanced by the pro-
gressives as opposed to those held by
the bonites. The final steps In this
decision have been taken during the
last few days Mr.. Chamberlain sent
for ]. P. Fitzpatrick, author of "The
Transvaal from Within" who is well
known in connection with South Afri-
can affairs, and spent whole day IN
consultation with him. Mr. Fitzpat-
rick will sail for Cape Town June 16,
to join the advisory committee which
Sir Alfred Miner is forming.

st. Louis Street Railways Getting
Into Better Shape-No Disorder
Reported.
ST. LOUIS. June 12.-There were no
important developments in the street
car situation to-day. The Transit
Company claims to have the situation
practically under control by reason Of
the protection afforded by the police
department and the sheriff's posse
comitatus. 1t was stated by the COM
pany's officials that cars were running
on every line in the city going above
the regular schedule in some cases, and
in all meeting the demands of traffic.
More men are now employed by the
company than there is work for them
to do, according to General Manager
Baumhoff, and not only is the force
being constantly increased by men
coming in from other cities, but from
the ranks of the strikers themselves.
Tonight cars are running on all
lines about the same schedule as last
night. Lines TO the north and south
are still guarded by police in the CEN
trail and western portions there has
uScu IO tTOUJlc anu the police nave
been in great measure withdrawn
from the cars. This permits the
Strengthening OF the forces along the
southwestern and southern divisions.
The southern electric line is in OPP
Grafton tonight for the first time since
the strike was inaugurated. This line
is regarded in police circles as the most
difficult of all the lines to run safely
after dark. Every precaution was
taken to prevent interferences and vio-
lence. This line traverses the district
where two weeks ago seven persons
were wounded by bullets in one day.
The executive committee Of the street
railway employees union went into ex-
ecutiye session this afternoon at Wal
halla hall.
Chairman OF the grievance commit
tee T. B. Edwards announced after the
meeting that nothing Of importance
had been done. He also said there was
no prospect Of the union reopening
negotiations with the St Louis Transit
Company.

SUPERIOR MERIT.
Remarkable Curative Properties OF
Remedy for Indigestion and
Stomach Weakness.

Remarkable Curative Properties o.
. Remedy for Indigestion ana
Stomach Weakness.
Stuarrs Dyspepsia Tablets, q pre-
paration for the cure OF dyspepsia
and the various forms of indiges-
ton and stomach trouble, owes its
great success as cure for these
troubles to the fact that it Is pre-
pared for disease and weakness OF
the stomach and digestive organs
only, and Is not recommended or
advised for any other disease.
1t is not cure-all, but for any
stomach trouble it is undoubtedly
the safest, most sensible remedy
that can be advised with the pros
pect of permanent cure It Is
prepared in tablet form, pleasant
TO taste. composed of vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal. every one of which
act effectively in digesting the food
eaten, thereby resting and invigor-
ating the weak stomach; rest is ma
lures cure for any disease, but you
cannot rest the stomach unless you
put into it something that will do
its work or assist in the digestion
of food.
That is exactly what Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets do, one grain OF
the digestive principle contained In
them will digest 5000 grains or
meat, eggs or similar wholesome
foods, they will digest the food
whether the stomach is in working
order or not, thereby nourishing
the body and resting the stomach
at the same time. and rest and
nourishment is natures cure for
any weakness.
In persons run down in flesh and
appetite these tablets build up the
strength and increase flesh. because
they digest flesh-forming food
which the weak stomach cannot
do, they increase the flow of gastric
juice and prevent fermentation,
acfdity and sour watery rlsings.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
be found at al drug stores at so
cents per package.

COFFEE DISEASES.

Minister and Young Lady Affected.
Ministers sometimes find they suffer
from the effects of bad habits as we'll
as ordinary people. Rev. Mr..
of Athens, N. Y, had become greatly
emaciated from coffee drinking, which
produced stomach trouble and all of
the effects of overwork or poor nour-
ashment.
He quit the coffee and began drink
ing Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
His health began to improve and he
now weighs 151 pounds, an increase OF
as pounds over his former weight. This
improvement In health and strength is
shown to be due to the use of Postum
Food Coffee, by the fact that when he
stops drinking Postum--as he has done
for an experiment-he begins to lose
flesh and get back into his old condi-
ton.
A young lady who writes about the
case says that she was formerly sur
fering greatly from those twin dis
cases." dyspepsia and nervousness. Il
knew that both of the diseases had
their origin in the use of coffee, and
while / was fully aware OF its injur-
ious effects upon my system, | was not
willing to give it up, for I did not
know of anything to take its place.
'sTea, / knew, was also injurious,
and as for cocoa, it lacked the snap
and GO which can alone satisfy cor
fee drinkers taste. About two years
ago | purchased my first box of Pos
tum Food Coffee and quit the use of
coffee. made Postum according to
directions and found had a drink not
only equal to coffee, but far superior
to it in many ways. Since that time
/ have used it constantly and find my
general health very much improved,
and the twin diseases gone. also
send you the names of Rev. and Mrs.
of Athens, N. Y, who have
been greatly helped by the use of Pos

Dr. R. Hauthal, an Argentine savant, has put forward startling theory con- eerning the remains of gigantic aloths, related to the great megatherium and tne mylodon, recently found in Pata= gonia. Tn his opinion, these animals. whose race is now extinct. were kept in domestleated state by the pre- historic inhabitants of Patagonia. A cave at Ultima Esperenza, where many indications Of the former presence of the huge sloths have been found, Is regarded by Dr. Hanthal as having been used by the ancient Patagonians as stable for the beasts.
