An Old Theory
Exploded
Food Not Digested in the
Stomach.
This Organ Only Prepares it for
Assimilation by the In
testineS.

Until a few months ago the medical
profession, as well as the public at large,
have always believed that food was d.
gested in the stomach; but thanks to
science they are now enabled to follow
the whole process Of digestion with their
own ewes from the moment food enters
the mouth until it is taken into the sys-
tenn. or carried off through the bowels.
Heretofore all remedies for the cure OF
dyspepsia have been given with the IDEA
of assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ does
not digest it at ali explains the cause
of their failure to cure the disease, a,sd
its constant increase in spite of the thou
sand and one remedies used. Another
and equally important discovery was also
made: that there are three distinct kinds
Of dyspepsia. two of which require diff
ferent remedies, and the remedy for one
must be exactly opposite to that of the
other in character For instance, acid
dyspepsia requires an alkaline treatment;
indigestion an acid treatment; these COM
bined and given in one dose bneutralize
each other, consequently, cannot be given
together with effect. The third and most
dangerous of all Intestinal dyspepsia),
requires a germicide which must be harm
less, and yet strong enough to destroy
the bacilli which cause the disease. I'm
derstanding this and knowing they pos
sess the only germicide which can be
taken internally without injury CHyoemD.
the R. T. Booth company have
placed on the market a dyspepsia cure.
ord tTa o0Tv one made which treats
every phase of the disease separately.
That it has been a success is shown by
the fact THAT THEY GUARANTEE
IT; SOMETHING NEVER DONE Be

a cure is not effected. Send symptoms
and receive free treatment.

All Going to the Circus.

Every body is talking about Ring
ling Bros. famous big circus, which
is to exhibit in Platteville, Wis, July
p (afternoon only. Several big ex-
cursions will insure an enormous
crowd. People from this locality
should make an especial effort to ar
rive in time to see the new free street
carnival which precedes the exhibit
ton every morning at 10 o'clock
The procession is divided into thirty
enormous sections, each of which is a
complete parade, and presents in it's
entirety a bewildering- magnificent
two-mile carnival of pageantry, such
as the world has never seen. In this
gorgeous display are shown over 100
beautiful dens and cages of wild ami
mails, 500 horses, 20 elephants and
nearly thousand people, and the
costumes throughout are of the finest
silks, satins, and cloth of gold. The
performance that follows is the most
magnificent display ever presented by
any circus in America.

A Glinnpse Mt IInYais.

The general public, even in London
itself, needs to be told what Lloyds is,
and so it will be better to state at the
outset that it is the greatest center of
the shipping interest all over the world
and it is surprising that, unlike its
near neighbor, the Stock Exchange it
is so little known. Mr.. Frederick NJ.
Kenward contributes to Harmsworth' S
Magazine an exceedingly interesting
article descriptive of the old institu-
ton. Lloyds owes its name to its
founder, a Mr.. Edward Lloyd, the pro-
prietor of a coffee house at Tower
street. the earliest mention of which is
about 1868. 1t was to this coffee house
that persons connected with shipping
used re. ularly to resort; and Mr..
Lloyd. who seems to have been a man
of considerable enterprise. took care to
collect all news and information he
possibly could in connection with his
customers business until his coffee
house gradually came to be looked
upon as the headquarters of all mari
time business, and especially of ma
rine insurance.

VISITOR KICKS ON CLOCKS.

However, should not complain of the

Copied Many Miles Away.

The latest marvel that has been
worked by electricity is the telepanto-
graph. BY means of this instrument
drawing, letter, photograph, diagram
or any drawn or printed matter may
be telegraphed to any distance over a
single wire. When a message is to be
sent by this system it is simply writ
ten, drawn or photographed on a thin
metal sheet and placed in transmit
ter. A switch is then thrown open
and, away at the other end of the
tiny wire that stretches over hill and
valley, another electric machine draws
a perfect reproduction of it on paper,
wood or metal If the message is re-
ceived on paper two copies are made
at the same time. If more copies than
this are wanted the machine will en-
grave it directly on zinc or copper in
stead Of writing it on paper, and from
this etching machine thousands Of
copies may be printed.

Iowa County Boy Killed in China.

Information came to Madison last
Saturday that VIM. E. cambridge,
secretary OF the American legation at
Pekin. China, has probably fallen
among other victims of the Boxers at
that place. MIR. cambridge was a
native OF Mitfiin, and son of the late
we'll known VIM. Balm bridge, and has
several brothers and sisters now re-
siding in that town. He graduated
from the Wisconsin University and
later established a successful law
practice at Council Bluffs, Iowa.
From there he was appointed to the
Chinese diplomatic service and went
to Pekin about three years ago. The
report of his death may be erroneous.
We will so hope until it is confirmed
or corrected.-Tribune.

A Fad From Far japan.

''Ko-Kwai" is quite the fad of the
hour for afternoon parties. Sir Edwin
Arnold tells that the Japanese have a
pretty way OF entertaining, the hostess
giving her guests a number of dainty
bottles, containing different perfumes,
and the lucky ladies who can guess the
proper names of the scents receive
prizes. All that comes to us from the
Orient has a charm of its own. What
could be more lovely than perfumes
called Dew From the Mountain,
Breath of Spring" and Dream of the
Garden" if the names give any hint
of the doors. At a party given Thurs
day only standard perfumes were given
to the guests, and a young American
lady from the Pacific slope made the
greatest number of correct guesses.
When she returns to her western home
she will wear a unique brooch. set with
diamonds and inscribed with the word

PRONOUNcING BoER NAMES
Vryburg Is Called Frayburg, Kruger Is
Kreer.

Of the four different ways of pro-
nouncing Kruger's name which are
current, No l, Kroojer is a vulgar er.
ror; No >, Krooger, with hard g, as
in gold" is possible; No. 8, Kreegar.
where the ee is an attempt at the
French vowel sound, is perhaps the
most aristocratic; while No. 4, Kreer
(rhyming with Frere) in which the
entirely disappears, is the one most
frequently heard among the Cape
Dutch themselves. The name of the
other president, Steyn, is pronounced
STAIN" and the same sound is given
to the diphthong Ell or ey, and also to
the vowel Y, wherever these occur in
Dutch words. Examples are Leyds
Naids), Reitz (Rates), Hofmeyer, the
names Bloemfontein (Bloomfontane)
and Graaffreinet (accented ON the last
syllable), Vryburg (Frayburg) and
Vryheid (Frayhade). The last two
also illustrate the sound of {, which is
always given to initial in Dutch,
other instances of which are the fam
lily names Villiers (Fill-yee or Fill-jee)
and Viljoen (Fillyune or Fill-june). 1t
will be observed that alternative pro-
nunciations are allowed of the in
both these names. In literary Dutch
this consonant is like the English y,
but at the Cape there is a strong ten
dency to give it the same sound as j
in English. Cronje, therefore, may be
called Cron-jay, or. preferably, Cron-
yay, and Joubert either Jew-bear or
You-bear Spion kop, of doubtful
fame. is called Spewn kop or Spune
kop.-South' Africa.

NEW ASPHALT FIELD
Discovered and a Powerful Rival Il
Enter Composition for Business.

Enter Competition for Business.
Recent heavy trading on the local
stock exchange in the stock and bonds
of the American Asphalt Company has
been caused by well-defined reports
that a powerful rival to that concern
is soon TO enter the field Negotia-
tons are on foot for the organiza-
ton Of company with strong finan-
cial backing to develop a valuable new
bed OF asphalt, which prospectors say
they have discovered in Venezuela.
The names of several prominent bust
ness men and capitalists are quoted
as being the hackers of the proposed
new company, and it is known that
plans of organization are we'll under
way. The capital of the company has
not been definitely decided upon, but
il will be in the millions. 1t has been
rumored that politicians are to be
largely interested in the new concern,
and that its special object would be
to secure, through political favoritism,
municipal contracts in this and other
cities which are at present monopo-
pany. There is no truth in such ru-
mors. The capitalists who have inter-
eSted themselves in the proposed rival
of the American company have enter
ed the project solely as business
proposition. Politicians and politics,
it is understood, are not to have any
connection with the company or its
business. The new bed of asphalt
which has been discovered is said to be
very extensive deposit, of good quail
fly At present the American Asphalt
Company controls the only asphalt
lakes or beds which have been deyel-
oped and operated. They are located
on the island of Trinidad and in Ven
ezuela, and until recently it was be-
lieved there were no others in exist
ence.-Philadelphia North American.
