President and Mrs. Mckinley Had
No Company for Dinner-The Day
In WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, November 90
Thanksgiving was generally observed
in Washington. All the departments
were closed and deserted save for a
few officials who came to attend to the
mail.
The municipal offices and most of the
stores were closed. The White House
bore a deserted appearance. President
Mckinley spent a little time in the
morning in his Office and at II o'clock
entered his carriage and was driven to
the Metropolitan NJ. g. church, where
he attended the Thanksgiving service.
Rev. DR.. Frank NJ Bristol, pastor OF
the church, conducted the services.
The President went alone, Mrs. McKin-
ley took short drive during the fore
noon, returning in time to send the
carriage for the President. The day
was spent quietly by the presidential
household in accordance with Mrs. Nc
Kinley's desire to observe it in as
homelike a way as possible. The pres
idential family had the regular Thanks

years past there have been no invited
guests and the dinner this evening will

ABOUT HEART DISEASE.
Ninety Per Cent of 1t Really Caused
From Poor Dfgestion.

Per Cent of 1t Really Cause
From Poor Digestion.
Real organic heart trouble is in
durable, but scarcely one case In
hundred Is organic.
The action of the heart and stom-
ach are both controlled by the same
6 great nerves, the sympathetic and
pneumogastrie, and when the stom-
ach fails to properly digest the food
and it lies in the stomach ferment-
ing gases are formed which distend
the organ, causing pressure on the
heart and lungs, causing palpita-
ton, irregularity and shortness OF
breath.
The danger from this condition is
that, the continued disturbance of
the heart sooner or later may cause
real organic heart trouble and in
fact frequently does so.
Furthermore, poor digestion
makes the blood thin and watery
and deficient in red corpuseles, and
this further irritates and weakens
the heart
The most sensible thing to do for
heart trouble is to insure the diges-
ton and assimilation OF the food.
This can be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleas
ant and effective digestive prepare
ton, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain the
necessary digestive elements in
pleasant, convenient form
Thousands of people keep we'll
and vigorous by keeping their di-
gestion perfect by observing the
rule OF taking one or two of these
tablets after each meal, or at least
after each hearty meal.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets con-
tain U. s. P. pepsin. diastase from
malt and other natural digestives
which act only on the food, digest
ing it perfectly and preventing acid
ity. gases, and the many diseased
conditions which accompany a
weak stomach
When Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are used you may know you are not
taking into the system any strong
medicine or powerful drug. but sim
ply the natural digestive elements
which every weak stomach lacks.
So widely known and popular
have these tablets become that they
are now sold in the United States,
Canada and Great Britain.

SOME MORE GOSSIP.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, November
29.-There is possibility that Hon.
w. NJ. 0. Dawson will not succeed him
self as Secretary of State, although it
is generally understood that he is slat-
ed for the position. 1t has even been
stated that it has been promised to
him and he is surely expect
ing to succeed himself But there is
another possibility in the field in the
person Of Judge Reese Blizzard. 1t
has been understood all along that
Judge Blizzard was to succeed Cover
nor-elect White as Collector of Inter
nal Revenue and it was to be in a
position to accept that position that
he is said to have resigned from the
bench. But there is opposition TO his
appointment and it pisTa becoming go
strong that his friends are alarmed
over the possibility Of his defeat. But
he has a staunch friend in the person
of the Governor ELECT, who Is said to
be doing all he can to insure the ap-
,pointment of Blizzard as his successor,
1t is even said that Mr. White has al
lied himself so closely with BlizzRrd's
cause that in the event of his failure
to secure the Conectorehip Waite is
to provide a place for him equally as
good. The only place the Governor has
at his disposal
AS Good as the ColiectoTshp
is that of Secretary of State, and the
report has gained some currency that
Blizzard is to be made Secretary of
State if he fails to connect as Col
lector. Inc report may have been
started for the purpose. of making
Mr.. Dawson exert his influence the
more strongly in Billiards. behalf.
But whether this be so or not, Biz
zard is being talked of as possibility
for Secretary Of State.
Another report is that Secretary OF
State Dawson is to be made Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue to sue
coed the late George w. Wilson. West
Virginia in past years has had al
most a cinch on this office untils MrJI
Wilson was. appointed to succeed Sen-
ator Scott. Joseph S. Miller. John w.
Mason ~ B. Scott, all were West Vir
ginians' who held the office, and now
it is said that Dawson is to secure
the same place and that James X.
Hall will after all land the Office of
Secretary of State unless the supposed
threat on White is carried out to care
for Blizzard in that way. The fact that
Dawson is after the vacant Commits
sionership is evidence that he does
not consider the Office of Secretary of
State as certain.

DICK NOT A CANDIDATE,


Says Hanna and Foraker Deserve
Reelection to the Senate.
CLEVELAND, O., November 29.-It
has been definitely settled that Gen.
Chas. Dick, of the Ohio Republican
committee, will not be a candidate for
election to the United States Senate.
In response to the recent endorsement
of the American Loyal Republican
League, Gen. Dick has written a letter
to John Houska, president of the or
ganization, in which the positive state
ment is made that he will not be a can
didate for the Senate.
The letter concludes as follows:
Ohio is now represented by Senator
Foraker and Senator Hanna, both of
whom have performed distinguished
services to the country; and. unless
called to higher duties and clothed
with more distinguished honors, both
are entitled, and deserve to be contin-
ued in the Senate"

DENVER, Col, Nov. 29.-The News

The rival of the great American
smelter trust is in course of training

ment has been in progress quietly for

provided with refneries, where gold,
silver, copper or lead can be refined
to a degree necessary for the worlds
use.

been subscribed 1t is claimed the
plants will cost 100000 each.
