THE SOLDIERS, GRAVES.

The long, low roll of the muffled drum,
With its solemn, solemn beat,
AS with bare, bowed heads the marchers
With the softened tramp of feet.
And they file slowly in without e'er a
pause,
Through the snow-white city'S gate,
The city that in life is such q clause,
Whose additions ne'er abate
And they deck each mound of the soldier
dead
With flowers from Mays fair hand,
While the Stars and Stripes their bright
folds spread
Der the bravely fallen band.
the graves are watered with falling tears
Unveiled from the leaden hearts
Those low brown mounds, those earthly
Sad relics of Deaths swift darts.
And we look to the North and the graves
are there;
To the South. the East, the West
Those low, brown mounds are every
That the war-worn soldiers rest.
All over the land from Atlantic's shore
To Pacifies the graves are seen,
Ana the mourners are laying their trib-
In garlands of white and green.
And we look and turn with a fearful sigh
:. For that mighty hostsso still; ~
Ali WHY S4lO0lu bAeN De cut OF and die.
Is this sacrifice Gods, will - s~e
sigh not for they have not died in vain;
1t was meet that their lives they give
To wash the ignominious STAIN
Ihey died that the State might live
And the voice of God in vengeful tones,
Is heard in the cannon's crash:
Ills lesson IS seen in the bleaching bones,
His eye in the bayonets flash.
For the song of peace is following fast
The horrld battle sounds,
And the country's fabric lain to last
Is built on those low, brown mounds.

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


pepsia and stomach Troubles. 4
Dyspepsia and indigestion are
considered incurable by many peo-
pie who do not realize the advance
made in modern medical science,
and because by the old methods
and remedies a cure was rarely, if
ever obtained
Dyspepsia is now cured as read
lily as any other disease.
What the dyspeptic wants is
abundant nutrition, which means
: plenty OF good, wholesome, we'll
cooked food and something to as
sist the weak stomach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are adapted and this is the meth
cd by which they cure the worst
cases of Dyspepsia, in other words
the patient eats plenty of whole
some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets digest it for him. In this
way the system is nourished 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 prepare
ton.

TACOMA, Wash. May pa spe-
cial board of inquiry composed of Col
lector w. A. Fairweather, chairman;
Deputy Collectors w. Delacey and
Robert Watchorn, special supervising
immigration inspector, who is in Ia
coma from Washington for the express
purpose of inquiring into the sudden
immigration of Japanese to this coast,
worked from seven o'clock last night
until midnight passing on seventy-one
Japanese who had been rejected by I'M
migration Inspector Walker, on the
steamship Glenogle. Out OF this num-
Der the board rejected fifty of them
outright This is by far the largest
number ever rejected out of single
shipment to the sound.
Nineteen of the remaining q came
dangerously near being rejected also
They were allowed to land only upon
the Japanese consul giving his guar
antee that they would obtain employ
ment within the next sixty days. Some
of the fifty Japanese were rejected be-
cause they had infectious diseases.
Others because it appeared that they
were contract laborers. Only two out
of the entire seyenty-one passed the
examination successfully. The Gleno-
gle brought 35S Japanese to Tacoma
on this trip, and the percentage of re-
jections was unusually large.
The Japanese missionary at Tacoma,
who makes it his business to find en-
ployment for the Japanese emigrants,
admitted to the examining board that
there are now 800 Japanese in Tacoma
out of employment.
Inspector Snyder, of Seattle, says
there are four hundred Japanese out
of work in that city.
Another thing brought out in the in
vestigation is that more than three
times as many Japanese are landed in
Victoria as are brought to the Sound
ports
When the news reaches Japan that
fifty Japanese out of a single shipment
have been rejected in Tacoma, the
next ship that comes will likely I'M
load the entire lot in Victoria and let
them take chances of crossing the line
in small bodies. If they are caught
they cannot be sent back any farther
than Victoria, whereas, if they are re-
jected in Tacoma, they must go back
to Japan. The Glenogle is due to sail
on Wednesday, so the Japanese will
have but little time in which to appeal
their cases to Washington should they
so desire.

The State Departments Record
Broken by the Issues of May.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The State
department has issued over 5000 pass
ports to European travellers for the
70 days in May. 1t is said that the
climax has been reached and from this
point on the issues will diminish. As
1t is, the figures show a gain of over
50 per cent. above the normal passport
issues for May. The figures for April
were 1854, in that case a gain of more
than 100 per cent. over the normal
business.
Most of these travellers are going to
Paris, yet it is said at the State De-
partment that during the last portion
OF the first quarter of 1900. and that
part OF the second quarter which has
already elapsed, there has been an un-
usually large number of applications

Point of Order Raised by Senator
Pettigrew Leaves the EIkins Law
in Force.
Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-The
amendment to the sundry civil bill,
quoted in Mondays Register as affect
ing the Virginia debt qeustion, was
knocked out OF the bill in the Senate
to-day on a point of order raised by
Senator Pettigrew, who sought to have
its provisions extended to South Da-
kota, and meeting defeat on that
proposition had the whole amendment
stricken out. Senator Daniel, Of Vir-
ginia, spoke against the point of order
and in favor of the amendment, as did
also Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, whose State is deeply interested.
1t is improbable that anything more
will be heard of the amendment. The
law authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to begin suit TO recover the
value of State bonds held by the Unit
ed States which Senator Elkins had
passed at the last session of Congress,
will therefore remain in force.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 29.-
The Governor to-day issued an abso-
lutte and unconditional pardon to Vale
Boughner, convicted in the Circuit
Court of Harrison county last January
of murder in the second degree and
sentenced to serve seven years in the
penitentiary.
The crime for which Boughner was
convicted was the killing of Edwin a.
Young, ON the 25th day of last June.
Young was a visitor in the town Of
Clarksburg, and it seems that some
boys undertook to run him out of
town, and Boughner seeing Young run
ming, and believing that he had COM
mitted a murder joined in the pur-
suit, firing three shots at him from a
revolver, one of which took effect and
killed him.
A writ of error was obtained from
the Supreme Court on February DIST
last, and the case was docketed for
hearing in that court, where it is still
pending.
The case was submitted to the State
Board of Pardons several weeks ago,
and argued by counsel on both sides,
and the Board took the case under con-
sideration. One of the members, P.
W. Morris, was in favor of granting a
pardon to Boughner, and wrote an
elaborate opinion of the case The
other member, w. w. Brannon, stated
that he regarded it inexpedient to pass
upon the case while it is pending in
the Supreme Court. Mr.. Brannon rails
ed the question as to whether the de-
PENDANT, Boughner, is under conyic-
ton, while the case is pending in Court
and for this reason he declined to con-
cur in the recommendation for a par
don.
