Auttering kerchiefs, waving hands,

hear. A gentle voice, the voice of all
others he most longed to hear, repeat

ton to his gesticulating comrades on
the upper deck; but he was deaf to
both. Eagerly, anxiously, incredulous-

Yes, there she stood, all gayety, grace
and animation, stylishly gowned and
fairly burdened with roses; and it was
right at him she was gazing, nodding,
smiling, all sweetness. all confiding,
trusting joy; with just II little of tri-
umph. too, and Il tinge of sentimental
sorrow in the parting. Apparently, it
was all for him; for her blue eyes never
faltered till they fixed his gaze, and
then, kiss after kiss she threw to him
with the daintily gloyed little hand,
and, leaning far down, over the rail,
lowering it toward him as much as pos

TRUTHS EASILY DIGESTED.
Concerning Method of Curing Dys-
pepsia and Stomach Troubles.

Dyspepsia and indigestion are consid-
cred lncurable by many people who do
not reallze the advance made in modern
medlcal science, and because by the old
methods and remedies cure was rare
ly, if ever obtained.
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily as
any other disease.
What the dyspeptic wants is album
dant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome, well cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
TO olgest 1t. This is exactly the purpose
FOR which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are adapted and this is the method by
winch they cure the worst cases of
dyspepsia, in other words the patient
eats plenty of wholesome food and
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for
him In this way the system is nourish-
ed and the overworked stomach rested
because the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not. One
OF these tablets will digest 5000 grains
of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a remedy
sold on its merits and is the purest
safest and cheapest remedy sold for
stomach troubles, and every trial makes
one more friend for this excellent pre-
paration.

CLEMENS ON THE STRIKE.
Topeka Agitator Discusses Serious
ness of Situation in st. Louis.

G. G. Clemens is very much wrought
up over the st. Louis street car strike.
He said today:
Il believe it is somebody's duty today
to ask people to think It is hard and
unaccustomed work, to be sure, and
should not be carried to the point of
fatigue, but nevertheless it is drudgery
that really must be done, and done soon,
lest worse befan. Do we not read that
the hospitals Of st. Louis are filled with
the wounded as if a battle were on?
Are we not told. and in the most matter
of course way too, that the men trying
to operate the St. Louis street cars are
to be armed with ShotgunS with Wh1ch
to fire into crowds in the streets? Have
not the newspapers been full lately of
the serious disturbances in that city?
Have we not read that policemen have
refused to serve against the strikers?
Suppose no such disturbances had hap
pened before in this land, would not
such a state of actual war in one of our
principal cities absorb public attention:
Would it not be deemed worthy OF con-
Sideration by even congress and the
PRESIDENT
Would we not, for a time. forget the
Paris exposition and even the South At
rican war? But this serious conflict
excites little interest outside St Louis.
and even there is only grumbled at as
the cause of inconvenience to people
who wish to ride as usual. Why do peo-
pie generally pay SO little attention to
so serious a disturbance BecduSes atAu
only because, such conflicts have be-
come SO common. We become accus-
toned to things. The people of Paris
filed the theaters during the Reign of
Terror. But reflect a moment.
"A worse state of things exists in Chi
cago than St. Louis presents. CleVe-
land, New York Indianapolis score
of cities have recently witnessed serious
strife of this kind. The coal fields have
lately been fields of war. How long has
it been since Latimer? Think of the
conditions in Idaho for more than a
year. A conflict similar to that oy
which st. Louis is disturbed is almost
| certain to occur in Kansas City before
| the Democratic national convention is
| held Tumult RACES or threatens every
where. A few graves are left at each
| place tic preserve durable records of the
| collisions that occur. We euphemisti-
calIy call these disturbances industrial
unrest That is because we have got
used to them. Were man to swat You
! over the head with a heavy club, wouId
| you complain to the police that you had
encountered a gentleman who seemed to
be restless? Let us have done with soft
phrases to conceal from ourselves very
! perturbing facts"

THIS LIBRARY NEEDS AID.
American Institution in Manila May
Be Closed For Want of Funds.

Washington, May 28.-Ars. Greenleaf,
wife of Colonel c. R. GreenleafU U. S. A,
has succeeded in opening an American
library in Manila for the use of Ameri
can soldiers, sailors and citizens in Ma
Mia.
There are about 1000 volumes in this
library, many of them worn and soiled
but greatly enjoyed by both officers and
men About ten papers are sent reg
ularly from the United States, when
are read at the library and then sent
to the troops in the field It is the earn
est request of Mrs. Greenleaf that
copies of papers from every part OF the
United States be sent to this library.
While contributions of books and
magazines are most accepted, the finan-
cial question is the serious problem
which cOnfrOnts the library
The salary of the librarian and the
rent Of the building as we'll as other
expenses have to be met each month
and a letter from Mrs. GTeenleaf dated
March 90 states that they have only
money. enough to keep the library open
three months longer, at the most. IN
less aid comes from the United States
they will be compelled to close the
library, which has been a source OF
pleasure to the men who are enduring
the hardshipS of war in a foreign coun-
try.
The Womans' Army and Navy league,
an orga nization composed mainly of the
wives and daughters of officers of the
United States army and navy have been
appealed to by Mrs. Greenleaf and they
will act as her representatives in this
country.
Contributions will be received by Mrs.

PUBLIC TELEPHONE OWNER
SHIP

IFrom the Newark, n. J., Advertiser.l
Public ownership Of telephones and
telegraphs is favored by the federal
industrial commission, of which Con-
gresham Gardner, of this state is the
most active member. A recommends
ton as radical as that was not expected
of a commission so conservative in
character.
1t has been consistently urged before,
that, as the federal government owns
The postoffice system and operates it
with eminent success. it should also
control the telegraph system as an ad
5unct of the postal system, inasmuch
as the functions are similar And if
the telegraph, then, logically, also the
telephone.

suits of the operation of the public tele-
phone in Amsterdam, Holland, where
the Netherlands Bell Telephone COM
pany secured a fifteen years monopoly
in Amsterdam in 1880 on condition Of
paying to the public treasury Pig per
cent of its gross receipts. On the ex-
piration of the franchise, in 1896. the
city took over the system and has since
operated it. The system has been since
then thoroughly re-equippped, the wires
generally put under ground and prices
reduced.
The number of subscribers has been
greatly increased, there is an all-night
service, the hours of work for employees
have been reduced and their wages
have been advanced. A free pension
system for superannuated employees has
also been introduced. Last year there
was a gross surplus revenue of SOC. $50
of which $11,S went for interest on the
purchase price Of the plant There were
also extensions and improvements dur
ing the year.

PLUG" IS WRECKED .
Popular Santa Fe Train De-
rallied But No One Hurt.

The Kansas City plug due in Topeka
last evening at $40 met with an acct
dent at Tecumseh
In some unknown manner the front
wheels of the tender left the track about
a half mile east of Tecumseh and bump
ed along on the ties. The Tecumseh
switch was reached and the wheel
which was running in the inside of the
track struck the rail and broke the
switch open. In doing this the rod
which connects the two axles was bro
ken. The engine still remained on the
main track. After the switch was op-
ened the baggage car and one coach
followed the tender out on the switch
and in doing so the trucks were thrown
from the track also. The tender which
was still coupled to the engine became
lodged across both tracks.
A special train was sent from Topeka
to bring the passengers in. The wreck
ing crew was sent out and about seven
hours were consumed in getting the
cars on the track and into town
No one was injured although the pas
sengers were well shaken up. Only a
few trains were delayed

Washington, May 2S-In urging

company, Mr.. Hale (Me.) said such ac-
ton was necessary as he had no doubt
congress would adjourn on June s, and

Mr.. Hale presented a partial report
of the conference committee on the
naval appropriation bill, the arnor plate
question, the course of instruction of
cadets at Annapolis. and insular coast
surveys yet being in dispute.
Mr.. Butler IN. Co inquired what had
been done about the proposition to au-
thorize the secretary of the navy, If he
deemed advisable. to move the Port
Royal naval station to Charleston, S.
c. Mr.. Hale replied that it had been
agreed to by the conferees.
Mr.. Butler objected to the report, in
sisting that the question of location
ought to be left open with view to
securing the best harbor on the south
ern coast for the station He main
tanned that Wilmington was a better
harbur than Charleston.
Mr.. Clay (Ga.) urged, too, that the
question be left open in order that Sa-

that the conference report be agreed to

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: The
Mormons of Utah have In hand a mar
velous beet sugar industry in the Great
Salt Lake Valley. They turn out every
year 5000 600 pounds of white sugar
Cheap as sugar is, the MormOns make
good profit out of their output, to
large extent because of their ingenious
system of conveying the juice from the
watts to the factories, twenty-five miles
distant. They pump the juice from vat
to factory in a three-inch pipe. They
thus save a large amount in transport
tation, securing the reduction of the
juice into sugar near the producing
center. This industry yields dividends
of 10 to u per cent a year to the farm
ers and about 20 per cent on the stock.
