Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a dis
covery Of great value to the medical pro-
fession and the public. They are an IN
failing specific in all cases of dyspepsia
and disordered digestion
Almost eyerybody's digestion is disor-
dered more or less, and the commOnest
thing they do for it is to take some one
of the many sO-called blood purifiers.
which in many causes are merely strong
cathartics Such things are not needed
If the organs are in a clogged condition,
they need only a little help and they viii
right themselves. Cathartics irritate the
sensitive Innings of the stomach and
bowels and often do more harm than
good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in cOnd1-
ton TO be readily digested and assilni-
lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. They partly digest what
is eaten and give the stomach just the
help it needs. They stimulate the secre-
ton and excretoin of the digestive
fluids and relieve the congested condition
of the glands and membranes. They put
the whole digestive system in condition
to do its work. When that is done you
need take no more tablets, unless you
eat what does not agree with you. Then
take one or two tablets-givS them need
ed help and you Will have no trouble

A CAMpAIGN SUGGESTION

IFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch-1
The fact that three cabinet officers,
some half-dozen governors and q few
thousand other national, state, county
and municipal office holders. both
Democratic and Republican, are now
engaged in the heavy labors Of the
campaign induces a contemporary to pro-
pound an inquiry. 1t is whether the
mere legal duties of public Office should
not be removed from the shoulders of
public officials during a campaign year.
The facts seem to deprive the sugges-
ton of much of its cOgency It is sup
ported by the argument that the neces-
sity of having the officials attention
distracted to work connected with some
governorship or secretaryship, postofice
or mayoralty must be very annoying
while party needs demand unremitting
application. But the fact seems to prove
that the governOrship OF secretaryship
does not distract the attention of the
campaigners at all The government
national or local. goes right along. and
SO does the campaign.
The subject contains another sugges-
ton that may be more pertinent to the
plain people. If the government can be
run while a quarter of the public off,
Gals are devoting their attention to
campaigning is it not a reasonable in
ference that the list of government Of

WANT THE LAND.
Farmers Would Lease Fort Hays Mil
itary Concession.

The farmers in the vicinity Of the
Fort Hays military reservation, which
was ceded to the State Agricultural coll
lege, are making an effort to lease the
land for a wheat crop for any period
of years which the college authorities
will permit.
The regents of the college have de-
clined to meet any Of the propositions
which have been made, and viii de-
an experimental station.
A company of farmers in the immedi-
ate vicinity has offered to lease the land
for five, ten, fifteen or twenty years.
paying therefor one-half the crop Of
wheat raised annually
This offer the regents have declined
but the board at each session has pre-
scented for its consideration various
offers from farmers who would like to
get their plows and harrows into that
garden spot.
When this reservation was vacated for
use as a fort in the early days, the gov
eminent representatives selected what
is regarded a s the most fertile and beau
tiful tract of land in that valley. Efforts
were made to have the land opened for
settlement but the friends of the agrf-
cultural college, instead of asking the
state to purchase additional land, went
to work in congress and at the last ses-
sion secured the enactment of a law
ceeding that 5000 acres to the college.
ton at Washington 1t was rumored
that the land would be opened to set
tlement- This created considerable ex-
element among the settlers, and many
of them prepared to make a run and
select the most valuable spot for
claim. This plan brought to the boun-
darieS of the reservation q large num-
Der of people who waited for the prOcla-
nation of settlement, but they were all
disappointed.
The land was ceded to the State Ag-
ricultural college, and all hope for those
who had their eyes on a claim or
farm in the reservation limits has been
banished.
The regents Of the agricultural col
lege have seen enough OF Kansas farm
land to know the value of the conces-
sion which the institution has obtained.
and they viii resist all Establishments
looking towards a lease Of any kind to
other parties. Neither will the regents
consider any proposition looking to the
sale Of some Of the lands.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Maj. Gen. j. r. Brooke Makes Sugges-
tions in His Annual Report.

Washington, Oct. lot is urged in
the annual report of Major General John
r Brooke, commanding the department
of the east at New York. that a pressing
necessity exists for the reorganization
Of the army on modern lines
For many years past" he says, the
general officers Of the army have shown
the necessity for an increase which will
place the army on an efficient basis and
enable it to perform its duties with
credit to itself and to the satisfaction
of the nation. The events since the COM
mencement of the Spanish war have
demonstrated beyond doubt the necesi-
ty for a reorganization which Will en-
able this nation to maintain the posi-
ton in which it now finds itself placed,
so that in case of war. the army may
form the bulwark behind which the vol
unteer army may be created, as has al
ways been done in our country, by or
ganizing the people,
Referring to the rehabilitation and
progress of our coast defenses, he says
that while it is practicable at this time
to make recommendations regarding
the artillery posts, it is too early now to
draw up plans for supporting the coast
artillery. 1t is not the province Of coast
artillery, he says, to act out of fortified
lions, their sphere Of operations being
limited; and the presence of mobile
troops to repel attacks from the rear
and to prevent landing parties from
gaining a foothold is imperative. on
taht account, the vicinity of each post
for miles around should be mapped with
a view to determining the lines of de-
Tense before the necessity for their use
arises.
Gen. Brooke says he is impressed with
the importance of having al ARTILLERY
force in charge of coast Notifications
stationed in the immediate vicinity OF
the guns. He thinks it is imperative in
many cases that more land should be
acquired than hitherto has been bought
for the erection Of fortifications.
There are places along the Atlantic
coast where the defenses are exposed
to danger from the inroads Of the sea
This matter. Cen Brooke says should
receive prompt attention.
Gen Brooke says he found that while
the officers and enlisted men were en-
thusiastic in matters relating to their
profession, the military duties are inn
perfectly performed. and the instruc-
ton Of the men handicapped by the lack
Of officers Many batteries and COM
panies have only one officer present for
duty, and at several posts where de-
tachments are stationed there IS no off,

Gen Brooke connmeuds the system OF
wireless biography established by the
signal service. and says that plans should
be perfected Immediately for complete
and perfect communication between the
units composing each fortress and the
fortress commander.

tions has been holding a protracted ses-
sion in Washington and adjourned today

Mr.. Mckinley Calls Attention TO What
Was Not Done For Col Holiday.
D. L. Mckinley, of Topeka, writing to
Major Anderson from Atchison, has the
following to say in respect to the pro-
posed Colonel Holiday monument.
Il have been travelling on the Santa
F'e railway considerably of late, and
never ride on the road that I do not
think of Colonel Holiday, a man that
spent all his life, or the best years of
and who also gave the best efforts of
his life to help make Topeka the pref
test and best little city in the country.
In view of all this it seems to me
that Topeka should manifest its appre-
citation of his labors in some substantial,
enduring way, that his name may go
down to posterity as a principal figure
in the history of Topeka and the Santa
Fe railway.
THE Santa Fe has given a little sta
ton at the mouth of a deep ravine his
name, and Topeka. has given a little
blind street somewhere on the city map,
that is unknown to thousands of citi-
zens, his name
1.-The council could not do a more
noble act than to change the name of
Topeka avenue to Holiday avenue, and
then prevail on the Holiday Monument
association to place the proposed monu-
ment at the intersection Of either Sixth
or Seventh street.
MANY cities in our country erect
monuments in their streets to show their
appreciation of the services of the man
represented by the monument. Why
should we not do the same in Topeka?
Here is an opportunity to begin. that
the name OF at least one benefactOr may
be kept in memory

ACTIVITY OF MANUFACTURERS

The activity of American manufac-
turers is illustrated by the statistics of
the imports of manufacturers materials
and exports of manufactured goods
which have just been made public by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics. In the s
months ending with August, 1900. i'm
ports of raw materials for use in manu-
featuring amounted in round numbers
TO 200 million dollars. against little
over 100 millions in the corresponding
months of 1886. and the exports Of man
ufactured goods were 304 million dollars,
against 16S millions in the corresponding
months of 1896. Thus in both importa-
ton OF raw materials for use in manu-
featuring and in expectation of the
finished product, the figures of the pres
ent year are nearly double those of 1886.
The total imports of the months just
ended exceed by 80 million dollars the
imports of the corresponding months of
1885, while the single item of rnanufac-
turers' materials itself shows an increase
of 81 millions. Raw materials for use
IN manufacturing formed in the months
of 1896 but 2S1A per cent OF the total i'm
ports. while in the corresponding s
months Of 1900 they formed 352 per cent.
Manufacturers formed in the s months
OF 1896 2S.7 per cent of the total exports.
and in months Of 1900 formed 33.S per
cent and in August. 1880, S5-2 per cent of
the total exports of domestic products.
In 1886 the average importation of man
ufacturers' materials was 1919 million
dollars per month. and in 1900 it is p
million dollars per month.

Tsinan Flu in Shensi was but one of the
means which had been resorted to at
the instance of this government to Sc
cure the return of the court. All eff
forts were neutralized, however, by the
spasmodic and unnecessary activity of
the allied military forces. There was
no necessity whatever for the PaO Ting
Flu expedition. in the judgment OF the
officials here, and that venture was the
straw which determined the imperial
court to fee to the western mountains.
Ii Hung Chang and the viceroys Of the
south had pledged themselves to main
tain order and guarantee protection for
spective provinces. This was made q
condition precedent by the United States
government to the establishment of re-
lations with them looking to the initia-
ton of negotiations for a final settle
ment. According to all reports that
have reached Washington, the viceroys
had lived loyalty up to their promises, in
spite of irritating military expeditions
and movements of various kinds, set up
against their protests. and therefore it
is regarded as particularly unfortunate
that the allied forces should per-
sist now in expedition against
Pao Ting Flu. 1t is not known
here whether or not the Germans are
the moving force in this project and
contrary conclusion is drawn from the
fact that Waldersee is not the directing
head. Indeed, each nationality appears
to be moving at the will of each military
commander, and military affairs in
China, as viewed in Washington, ap-
pear to be in a hopeless confusion. In

tivitieS of the allied forces

which he said:
To-day our farmers recognize that the

cally the wheat fields OF Dakota lie
nearer to London and Paris than the
farms OF Yorkshire and Burgundy. Thus
favored, our farmers during the past
four years have paid off SO many mort
cages that if ground into paper pulp
they would make ballots enough to
elect a president.
