After many intricate experiments
scientists have discovered methods
for obtaining all the natural diges-
tants. These have been combined
in the proportion found in the body
and united with substances that
build up the digestive organs, max
ing a compound called Kc 1ol Dys-
pepsia Cure. 1t digests what you
eat and allows all dyspeptics to eat
plenty of nourishing food while the
stomach troubles are being radically
cured by the medicinal agents it
contains. 1t is pleasant to take and

Wagner, l. T., Aug. 19.-Post-
Office Inspector w. P. Houck and
Postoffice Detective W. l.. Reid to-
night arrested John Morgan, son
of Postmaster w. T. Morgan, on a
charge of rifiing the mails. The
arrest created a sensation, as the
accused stands high socially. The
postoffice officials mailed letters
containing marked money at the
postoffice in this city. The mail
bags were then opened after reach
ing the car and found to have been
rified of the money. The officers
thereupon returned TO the post
office, searched the employees and
found, it is alleged, a marked bill
in the pocket of young Morgan
and also one of the decoy letters
containing money. Several hun
dred dollars. it is said, have been
missed in transmission through the
Wagner postoffice. and the off
cials have beer at work on the case

In the mass of dispatches re-
ceived since the allies commenced
their march on Pekin one fact
stands out prominently, and that
10 that the Japanese troops are the
heroes Of the expedition. At
Pietsang it was the assault of the
Japanese cavalry which broke the
Chinese line of defense and as
sured the victory of the allies. AT
Tung Chow it was the japanese
who captured the town and held it
till the allies arrived. At Pekin it
Was the Japanese who bore the
ornnt OF the days fighting and
Afst forced an entrance into the
city. That they are hard fighters
and thoroughly disciplined has
been shownby every movement
of the allies and while there is
credit Cor all. the Japs deserve the
greater share.

sourn AFRICAN SITUATION.
Gen. DeWet's Brilliant Retreat-flil-
Itary Experts Review.

Itary Experts Review. \
New York. Aug. 19.-The Suns
military expert says concerning the
South African situation:
''Gen. Christian DeWet is re-
ported at Pretoria to have finally
succeeded in escaping from the sew
eral British generals. among whom
were Lords Kitchener and Methuen,
who have been alternately de
scribed as being in hot pursuit or
heading him off, and is now north
west of Rustenburg with the force
which he started from the Caledon
Valley more than a month ago. He
has received large additions to his
strength since he entered the
Transvaal, and is said to have
now some 5000 meu under his COM
mand.
Among the remarkable feats of
the Boer commanders in this war.
this last feat of the hero of San
mas Post is unmatched and leaves
the British generals who have
been operating against him with a
good deal to explain away. More
than once since he started from
the Caledon Valley Gen. DeWet
has been in positions from which
it seemed impossible that he could
escape, yet, in spite of everything
that the generals whom Lord Rob-
erts sent against him were able to
do, he has slipped through their
fingers almost without any loss of
men or material.
With Gen. DeWet's union with
Gen. Delarey the war looks like
taking fresh lease, the surren
dered burghers in the territory
west of Johannesburg and Preto-
ria being reported to be taking
up arms again, Commandant Ben
Viljoen, who has fought through
the war with great dash, is close
to Pretoria, on the north. with a
strong commando, and the British
outposts on one side of Johannes
burg have been driven in.
Linche We, a native chief in
British territory, has invaded the
, Transvaal from the westward on a
, raid for cattle and plunder, and the
J excuse put forward for this breach
. of the tacit covenant between the
British and Beers at the beginning
of the war, that neither should al
low the natives to join in it, is
that Linche We is fighting in civ.
ilized manner and treating his pris-
oners well. The return of the sur
rendered burghers to the field, af
ter this action of the British au
thorities at Mafeking or Bulawayo
VINO are responsible for the partic-
ipation of the natives in the war
; needs no further justification.
Gen. Butler, after reaching
Ermolo. is reported to have de-
aected his march from here to Bar
berton, where President Kruger il
said to be. The country aroun(
there is somewhat like that abou
