AN INTERNAL REMEDY.
A Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple
Convenient; Cures Every Form
of Catarrh.

The use of inhalers. douehes, sprays,
salves and powders for catarrh is a
nuisance and Inconvenience at the best.
and cannot compare with antiseptic
remedies in tablet form for internal use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of the
disease which is in the blood and local
applications can no more cure catarrh
than rheumatism or kidney trouble, the
excessive secretion in nose and throat
being local manifestations of a deep
seated poison in the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the most
successful of the various internal rene
dies, is composed principally of highly
concentrated antiseptics, which destroy
the catarrh germs in the blood and
causes them to be eliminated through
the natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and advise
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because they
contain no cocaine, no opiate, no euer-
waiting drug whatever. but are compos-
ed of Guaicol, Hydnstin. Red Gum and
similar catarrh antiseptics, and are 50
safe and pleasant that even little child
rem may use them with excellent re-
suits.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should not despair of a radical cure un-
til trial of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
has been made.
A complete treatment may be pur-
chased at any drug store for fifty cents

THE IRON MARKET.
The Demand a Trife Better in the
West.

New York, May 3O.-Discussing the
condition of the iron and steel indus
tries. the Iron Age says:
The best that can be said for the iron
market at present is that a feeling of
hopefulness is in development. The
demand seems to be a little better in
some branches of the trade, and buyers
are disposed to place orders rather more
freely. This is particularly true of the
west. When this has been said how
ever, it covers about the most encourag-
ing conditions to be noted. No improve
ment is seen in prices. The tendency ap-
pears to be still downward and so far
no indications are seen of a firm foun-
dalton for such products as are not alb
sOlutely controlled by an effective con-
solidation or combination. Prices have
been gradually receding for some time
and while heroic efforts are made to
maintain them in some direction, this
simply results in creating a great
spread in quotations.
Prices for this reason on some pro-
ducts show a range of several dollars
per ton. Wire rods, for instance, are
quoted at mills in the central west at
$3S to $47 so.
It is generally believed that a large
tonnage is waiting to be placed as soon

THE CUBAN OUTRAGE.

AS the days go by the reports that
come from Cuba of the misdeeds of the
American officials become more scan
dalous and it is evident that the
thievery was so bold-faced as to cause
every honest citizen Of the United
States to hang his head in shame
Indeed there can be but one belief
and that is that the officials in charge
started in with a firm determination Of
lOoting our colonial dependencies in
princely style. 1t is considered extreme
~ lucky for the Cubans that their is
land was safely anchored in the sea or
otherwise it is suspected that Mr. Nicely
would have made away with it, too
Not content with selling stamps in big
blocks at fabulous prices for curios it

Resides Mr. Rathbone's regular salary
of $500 yearly he appropriated a per
diem allowance for himself of IS per
day and SO for each of the heads of a
dozen bureau departments under him.
Then a series of inspectors and clerks
were getting the 81 per diem rake off,
IN addition to their salary.
Mr.. Rathbone established himself in
a Havana palace where he set up a
court that would shame an Indian
prince.
This was gazed at in awe by the poor
deluded Cubans. But no wonder for
their money paid for the rent and re-
pairs. Under the head Of "miscellan-
eous." that always welcome cover fol
steals, several huge sums for upholster-
ing and furniture for the Havana palace
appear.
This and many other equally ques.
tionable expenditures were borne BY
the revenues Of Cuba. The heading

554.S6; the heading building and re.

AMERICAN PROTEST.
Professional Men Think Mexican Gov
eminent Would Drive Them Out

City of Mexico, May 30.-There is
strong protest being made against the
provisions Of a bill for the regulation
of the exercise of the learned profess
sions. engineering, architecture, etc,
here. The bill was presented in the
chamber of deputies by Senior Carrido
and aims to restrict the practice of any
profession by men or women who do
not possess diplomas from the Mexican
schools AS the examinations would
have to be passed in Spanish frequently
before boards of professional men
dreading the rivalry of foreigners, there
is a loud cutlery againt it. American
doctors and engineers regard the bill
as directed against themselves, but
there are also here many German and
English doctors and engineers, some of
them very successful and the bill APP
plies to them as well. In some of the
interior states the laws provide that
the foreign professional men having
their diplomas duly certified to by their
home governments and the Mexican
minister or ambassador there resident,
may practice their professions, paying
the usual fees. With this law the
Americans are fully content, as it is
evidently fair.
The Daily Press denounces the bill to
restrict the liberty of the press and calls
for it's rejection. The government as
we'll opposition papers are unani-
nous in calling for its defeat as being
most pernicious and reactionary and op-
| posed to the liberal tendencies of mod
ern Mexico, The bill is not likely to
| pass.
The fruit growers in the state of ia
| 1isco are proposing to begin the expor-
| tation of lemons on a large scale to the
| United States.
Ambassador Clayton leaves here June
| for the United States, and will at
tend the national Republican conven-
| ton.
The newly arrived German minister
| Baron Won Heyking, was received today
! by President Diaz in the hall of am
bassadors at the national palace, the
| president wearing his Prussian order
| out of compliment to the new minister

his bearing and his cordial speech, tc
| which the president replied in a SINH
lar tone, speaking of the warm and en-
| during friendship between Mexico and
| Germany.

fore was evidently not expended in pay

added to s11s, sOS79, the total will

TRUTHS EASILY DIGEsTED.
Concerning a Method of Curing Dys.
pepsia and Stomach Troubles.

Dyspepsia and indigestion are consid-
cred incurable by many people who do
not realize the advance made in modern
medical science, and because by the old
methods and remedies a 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 digest it. This is exactly the purpose
for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are adapted and this is the method By
which they cure the worst cases Of
Dyspepsia, in other words the patient
eats plenty of wholesome food and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest 1t for
him. In this way the system is nourish-
ed and the overworked stomach rested.

POLICE CAN DO 1T.
Grand Jury Says They Can Cope
With st. Louis Strike.

st. Louis, May 30.-In the course of the
report of the April grand jury made pub
lie today the report says: I'VE believe
the police force is large enough, if thor
oughly disciplined, to put down mob vio-
lence and preserve order and a competent
chief like the present should be given
full authority over it to bring into and to
keep it in thorough discipline. Such dis
cipline is absolutely necessary, but is inn
paired by favoritism and political appoint
ment.
1.-The mayor has been conspicuous by
his non-attendance upon the police board,
of which he is made, by law, member,
although his cooperation has been earn
estly and repeatedly requested during
these emergencies"
As a matter of information, it may be
said that the police board and department
of St. Louis are under the control of the
governor.

MAYOR REED TO BE SUED.
Election Judge Arrested by His Po-
lice Win Ask Damages.

Kansas City, Mo. May 30.-Several
civil suits for damages will result from
the interference on the part of the po-
lice in the Democratic primaries in this
city a week ago last Saturday. John M.
Phillips, one of the Tenth ward judges,
who was arrested and thrown in Jail,
has retained counsel to bring suit
against Mayor James A. Reed and 9TH
ers responsible for his arrest. It is pro-
bable that the matter will be laid before
the next grand jury.
Mr.. Phillips said today that he would
ask the grand jury for an opportunity
to appear before it and relate the cir
cumstances of his arrest. He said he
believed that if the facts were present
ed to the jury it would return an indiet-
ment against the mayor for oppression
in office.
