Assault on Gen. Greedy.

Last Sunday evening Joseph G. Furnace,
a young express messenger, crazy with
liquor, visited a number of houses on Nine
teenth street, ringing door-bells and dis
turbing the people. Finally he came to the
house of Gen. AdOlphus W. Greely, Chief
Signal Officer. Gen. Greely, who is tall,
slender man, not at all strong. came out
OF the steps and tried to induce the man to
go away, but Furnace suddenly caught him
and threw him down with great force, his
head striking on the stone steps with such
force that he was insensible for more than
an hour. Furnace was arrested arrested.
after desperate struggle, and locked up.
Gen. Greely'S condition is serious, but 1t is
believed that he will recover. Gen. Greely
was an enlisted man in the 10Th Mass, and
severely wounded at Fredericksburg. He
was afterward commissioned in the colored
troops, and at the close of the war entered
the Signal Corps, where he became a Cap
tain. In 1881 he was detailed to establish
onesof the signal stations in the interna-
tional circumpOlar plan, and led a party
Of 25 men north. He reached the fartheSt
notthcrn point on the record-S3 degrees
and "a minutes. Two relief exp editions
failed to reach him. but the third, under
command of Capt. W. S. Schley, found him
and the six of his companions still alive.
He was promoted TO Chief Signal Officer
Oh the death of Gen. HaZen in 1887. He is
q comrade of Lafayette Post, GA. r., New
York City, and everywhere popular, not
only on account of his genial character,
but by reason of his great scientific attain
ments and executive ability.

The Fear Of HIInbI|g
Prevents Many People From
Tryin A Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be a radical. permanent cure
for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteneSS
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being bumbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk little time and money in
faithfully testing the claims made of a
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuar's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one Important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret patent
medicine, no secret is made OF their in
gradients, but analysis shows them to con-
tain the natural digestive ferments, pure
aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden
Seal, biSmuth, hydrastics. and nuX. They
are not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfuily on any organ, but they cure indl- d
geStion on the common sense plan of d.
gestug the food eaten thoroughly before
il has time to ferment, sour, and cause the
mischief. This is the only secret OF their
success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure Indigestion and stomach troubles,
because they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison as it creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of
flesh and appetite, and many other troubles
which are often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package. Address f. A.

according 10 the view of leading Mormon
authorities"
Mr.. Roberts finished his argument on
Saturday. He took up the question OF the
compact existing between Utah and the
United States. He read from the official
reports of the debate in the constitutional
convention of Utah to show that the con-
vcntion had declared against polygamous
or plural marriages.
Mr.. Roberts said it was clearly understood
by the people of Utah that while plural or
polygamous marriages were by the consti-
tutional convention forever prohibited, II
did not say nor mean that plural or polyga-
nous marriages contracted prior to thatcon-
vention should be disturbed. The con-
vention, he said, had complied with
all the requirements of the enabling act
passed by Congress. He quoted from his
speech made in the constitutional con-
vention to show that he favored the amend
ment which prohibited plural or polyga-
nous marriages.
There had been no trouble of any note in
Utah, he said, on the question of polygamy
between the GentileS and MormonS until a
sensational newspaper that wanted to run
the universe had started the crusade against
him.
He cited several authorities to show
that his certificate of citizenship was not
impaired.
Mr.. Schroeder replying said that Mr..
ROberts's citizenship was impaired.

IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Sharp Engagement, but no I'm
portant Change in Positions.

Several engagements, few of them Sc
we're, have taken place in South Africa dur
ing the past 10 days, but they have moi
changed the positions of most importance
1t would seem that before long a very heavy
action must occur marking the attempt OF
the British to advance, either at Modder
River or the Tugela River, respectively
south of Kimberley and Laiysmith, where
the besieged English are still holding their
own. A decided victory over Methuen OF
Butler would probably result in the surren-
der of Kimberley or Ladysmith, as the case
might be, and in the event of the former, even
of Mafeking as well as raise the question OF
Englands power to break the Beers and
might cause the dreaded international inter
ference. Arout of the Boer army at Modder
River would probably result in the steady
advance of Methuen, as well as that OF
French and Gatacre to Bloemfontein, capital
Of Orange Free State, or similar victory

iy after the British artillery opened FIRE.
Nolteno and Cyphergat were safely in the
British pOss' ssion AT the end Of the day.
The Boers we're said to number 1900 and
the British lost none.
BOERS REFUSED AT LADYSMITH.
The long standstill in South Africa was
broken last Sunday by mCst determined
effort on the part of the Beers TO take Lady
smith. They seemed to have charged with
| the greatest gallantry, and three times
reached the British intrenchments, but
were finally driven back with heavy loss.
| This, coupled with the rumors Of Gen.
! Buffers advance to the relief of f.adysmith,

UNDER FRENCH AND GATAcRE.

The first news of last week came from
Gen. French who, with a big force of cav
airy and infantry, moving by detour from
Rensberg. occupied some hills three miles
from Colesberg, which is y miles south Of
the Orange River. There the Beers were in
strength, confident of the natural aid af-
forded them by the hills around their posi-
ton, extending six miles around the village.
A strong detachment of cavalry and in
fantry got around the Beers right flank,
then tho 10 guns of the British opened, si-
multaneously with their advance. The
Beers We're taken by surprise, and although
replying vigorously with their big guns,
but finding their retreat threatened, retired,
the British harassing them with a vigorous
shell-fire. This victory was heralded in
London as something more important than
it was. The British losses were three killed
and seven wounded. The Boer strength
was estimated at between 5 900 and 1000.
