A NEW BOOK.
'tLIttIe Lords of CreatiOn', by Mrs. III.
A Keays.

Many friends here who kindly re-
member Rev. O. H. Keays, at one
time pastor of the Congregational
church will be interested in knowing
his wife has written a new book. 1t
is entitled Little Lords of Creation
and of it the Hamilton, Ontario, Her
aid says:
"The hero of the story is a little
boy, the account of whose adventures
begins at his birth and ends not long
after he has learned to talk. But in
this short space of time are many
happenings worth telling about, in
most of which the small hero plays
an important part. After the baby,
the most interesting character is the
baby's mother, a complex creature,
full of contradictions and inconsist-
encies, but thoroughly feminine and
charming. These two or not only
good, but between them succeed in
doing much good in their little world.
There are several other characters
in the story, in which there is a sub
sidiary love-plot, illustrating the
tumultuouS course of true love, but
this part of the work is not convinc-
ing. The chief interest is conferred
in the baby and his mother, and the
charm of the story lies in the naive,
droll accounts of the every day cpl
sodes in a baby's career These are
described with just enough exaggera-
ton to give piquancy to the descrip-
tions; but everybody who has had
anything to do with the rearing of
children will recognize the truth of
these studies of child life, and will
enjoy their fresh and spontaneous
humor."

Monroe COunty's RepresentiVe Helps
Out Republican Cause.

Hon. N. E. Kendall, of Monroe
county, had a fine meeting at Evans
Thursday night, speaking to a house,
full of enthusiastic Republicans and
interested Democrats. Mr.. Kendall
has been working in Mahaska county
all week and has done much good
for the Republican cause. Mr.. Ken
dali was champion of all the mining
measures introduced in the lastlegis-
lature and has demonstrated to the
miners that their best friend is the
Republican party. The party that
tries to stir up unfriendly relations
between miner and operator and
encourages anarchy and prejudice is
a friend to no laboring man and'that
party is now being led astray by W.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one wav to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed cor
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which il nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Ca

Sheridan and Rverell.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The re-
cent death of Maj.-Gen. w. w. AvcrclI
calls to mind the circumstance Of his I'm
just removal by Gen. Sheridan from his
command. Sept. %, 1864. Although an ad-
mircr OF Sheridan, having served under
him during his entire connection with the
army in Virginia, | cannot but believe
his treatment Of the gallant Avcrell was
harsh and unjustifiablc.
1t occurred the day following the battle
of Fishers Hill. Sheridan had sent Gen.
TOrbert. his Chief Of Cavalry, with Will
sons Division and two brigades Of Mer-
ritts, up the Luray Valley to cut off Ear
ly's retreat. Devine's Brigade, to which
the writer belonged, vigorously followed
Early up the Shenandoah, keeping on the
Valley pike. Ayerell was directed to fol
low Oh Il road nearer the mountains. TO
bis great disappointment Sheridan learned
that TGrbcrt wholly failed in his purpose.
In his Personal Memoirs" Sheridan says:
i was astpnIShed and disappointed, and
to this day have been unable to account
for Tolh"rt's failure
~ the same trnr, through n misunder-
standing Gf orders, Ayerell failed to meet
Skrrldan's expectations and thus incurred
his displca&ure. Angercd ny these fail
urcs, il would seem that he sought some
object upon which he could vent his
spleen. Instead Of removing the really in
competent 'iorbert. Averc!l became the
victim ~ his wrath and was most unjust

successfully led and houorcd. Ever since
coming to the Valley Sheridan had mani

A GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends on Coed Digestion.

This is almost an axiom, although usu-
ally we are apt to think that cosmetics. face
powders, lotions, fancy soaps, etc, are the
secrets for securnga clear complexion. But
all these are simply superficial assistants,
1t Is impossible TO have good complex
ion unless the digestive organs perform
their work properly, unless the stomach by
properly digesting the food taken into il
furnishes an abundance of pure blood. a
good complexion is impossible
IhlS IS the reason SO many ladies' are
using Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they promptly cure any stomach trouble,
and they have found out that perfect diges,
ton means perfect complexion, and one
that does not require cosmetics and powders
to enhance its beauty,
Many ladies diet themselves or deny
themselves many articles of food solely in
order to keep their compilations clear.
When Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are used
| no such dieting is necessary. Take these
tablets and eat all the good wholesome food
you want, and you need have no fear of
indigestion nor the sallow, dull complexion
which nine women out of ten have, solely
because they are suffering from some form
Of indigestion.
Bear III mind that beauty proceeds from
good health; good health results from per
feet digestion, and we have advanced the
best argument TO induce every man and
woman to give this splendid remedy a trial.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
IN drug stores, and costs but 80 cents per
package.
II there is any arrangement of the stom-
ach or bowels they will remove it, and the
resultant effects are good digestion, good
health, and clear, bright complexion.

Three hundred and thirty-six dead were
brought from Cuba and Porto Rico at one
time and found their last resting place in
American soil. They were the Nations
heroes, and the exercises were a Nation S
tribute.
For the first time In the history Of Ar
lington Cemetery large number OF men
were buried who fought on the Confederate
side. This added greatly to the sOul-stir-
ring effect of the ceremony: but the sur
roundings themselves, the funeral obse-
quies, the glittering phalanxes of soldiers,
the dirgelike roll of the muffled drum, and
the sounding of the taps which summoned
$50 comrades-in-arms to their last sleep,
made n scene so impressive that we ques-
ton if Arlington Cemetery ever witnessed
a more solamnly- beautiful ceremony.
Others have been brought here and ten
derby laid to rest more yet will follow and
as long as gratitude exists and flowers
bloom a tender tribute will be laid upon
their graves each Both of May.
When the last sad rites were over on
this Memorial day of the burial Of the Gu
ban patriots, we stood upon the tcrraced
nights, with the widespread panorama of
Washington before us. Between us and
the city WAS the broad Potomac, glowing
in the last rays Of the setting sun, and in
its CLASSY surface was mirrored the tall
white monument OF the Father of onr Coun-
try. The oaks Of Arlington spread CRATE
full shade, and the breeze soughed through
the high branches.
This was t''- camp of the dead. Already

the first symptoms were developed which
were extreme nervousness. Then it began
gritting its teeth and biting itself, and
soon broke out in the most profuse per-
Spiration. Then it went into violent con
vulsions and died. A post -mortem was
held in the presence of a number of physi-
clans. No LESSONS were found, but all were
convinced that the death was due to rab-

II will readily be seen that the proposed
court cannot be more expensive after the
business shall have become current,
through the disposition of the cOngested
accumulation of past years, which the
classification and simpler and more judi
cial methods may be expected to permit
quite within the time allowed in the pro-
posed bill, even without the addition of the
salary of the Assistant Secretary and 4
number OF other proper charges against
the item of appeals.
1t is not to be expected that a reviewing
tribunal composed largely of clerks ap,
pointed by the Secretary of the Interior,
on the nomination Of the Commissioner of
Pensions, would have the necessary indie
pendence required for the ad djudicatiOn of
questions involving review of the acts
Of their superiors in authority.
Clerks holding subordinate positions In
bureau and depending on its chief for
their tenure Of Office would naturally be
disposed to affirm his decisions.
Moreover, in view of the fact that 107,-
919 pension claims were rejected during
the past year, it must be assumed that
the great mass of these cases are disposed
of by the clerks in the Pension Office. The
appeals taken are likewise referred to
clerks composing the board of pension ap-
peais, SO that, in practice, one group of
clerks III the Department reviews the acts
of other clerks all subordinate to the same
chief. Whatever may be said of the ad-
mInistrative advantage of this system Of
revision, and it is not our purpose to crit
icise 1t as convenient method for the dis
patch OF business, we are persuaded that
you VIII agree with us in affirming that
the essential requirements of n judicial
determination of questions Of law and fact
are not found in tribunal so organized
