Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are full or bloating sem
sation after eating. accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery risings, formation of
gases, causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, headaches.

coated tongue, and if the Interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show q
Shiny, infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food TO be readily. thoroughly
digested before il has time to fermept and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared
According TO Dr. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment is TO use after each meal
a tablet composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pep
sin. a little Nux, Golden Seal. and fruit
acids. These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent
medicine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr.. N ]. Booher, OF 2710 Dearborn Street,
Chicago H., writes: 'Catarrh is a local
condition. resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
OF the nose becomes iniamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the stom-
ach. thus producing catarrh of the stom-
ach. Medical authorities prescribed for
me for three years for catarrh of stomach

A SCHOOL OF TELEGRAPHY.
The Navy Department Arranging for
Wireless system Instruction.

The Navy Department is making ar
| rangements to establish a school OF in
/ struction at which officers and enlisted
| men shall be taught the method of oper-
| ating the system of wireless telegraphy.
! Rear Admiral r. B. Bradford, Chief of the
| Naval Bureau of Equipment, who has
charge of all matters relating to signal
| ing, would prefer that the service adopt
the Marconi system, which was tried by
the North Atlantic squadron in November
last, but this action cannot be taken with
out an appropriation from Congress
With the Marconi system large vessels
with masts between 130 and 140 feet high
can communicate when eighty-fve miles
apart, though the greatest distance across
which message was sent during the ma
val trials was forty-siX nautical miles.
The department has found that il will be
impossible to purchase Marconi instru-
ments. The company which has the right
to sell the instruments has informed Rear
Admiral Bradford. in response TO his en-
quiry, that for twenty sets of instruments
the Government will have to pay $4,000
cash and 0,000 for the use of the instru-
ments during the first year. This sum will
also have to be paid for the instruments
for every succeeding year they are in use.
The school, when established, will be in
charge of Lieut.. J. B. Blish. There will
be six officers and twelve enlisted men in
the first class, and they will be taught to
read the Morse alphabet and to operate the
system. 1t is expected that two shore sta
tions will be established and a naval tug
attached to the school, When sufficient
number of officers and men have been
trained and thoroughly understand the
system, it Is proposed to install instru-
ments on board the various men-of-war in
service, and fleet maneuvres will be con-
Quoted in accordance with instructions
sent by them.
There is only one feature of the system
to which exception is taken by naval Off
GERS, and determined effort will be made
to correct it, This consists of an inability
of receivers to print intelligent messages
when two or more transmitters within
range are simultaneously sending. Before
the trials occurred Signor Marconi declar-
ed that he could prevent such interference,
but he never explained how or made any
attempt to show that this could be done |
While this is important, naval officers |
say it does not by any means destroy the |
value of the system for naval purposes. 1t |
will necessarily prevent any attempt on the !
part of several vessels to communicate at |
the same time with the flagship, but, as
courtesy to seniors and obedience TO or /
ders are required of every subordinate, it |
will be possible for the commanderin
chief to regulate the invisible conversation
in his command.
In order that each letter of a message
may be given a proper impulse it has been I
necessary to limit the rapidity of sending !
and the best rate OF transmission of skilled /
operators is fixed at twelve words per min
ute BY the use ~ a system of code words, |
however, such as arp now used in cipher |
messages and in signal systems, it will be

Giles I'm fuurf


James Gray. Frank Turner. Henry Ware,

on trial today before Justice Cole, charged
with highway robbery. The prosecuting
witness was James Giles employed as a
brakeman on the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company. The Government was
represented by Assistant District Attorney
Alex. II. Semmes, and the defendants by
Messrs. Williamson and Fugitt.
Mr.. Giles testified that on July 10 last
he was returning from work about 1880
o'clock, when he met Miss Dora Linkins
friend of his, near the Street bridge
southeast, where il crosses the James
Creek Canal. Miss Linkins. he stated,
asked him to accompany her to a drug
store on the other side of the bridge He
did so. On the way. he said they stopped
on the bridge to chat. While standing
on the bridge he was approached by Frank
Turner, who asked him the time, and also
asked if he had any money. On being in
formed it was none of his business,
Turner took hold of him and the other
defendants then sprung upon him and
rushed him off the bridge. Giles said that
the defendants oyerpowered and robbed
him, and beat him. One of the defendants,
the witness said, suggested that they
should throw him into the canal.
Giles stated that the defendant. Turner,
took IS, all the money he had out of his
pocket.
Miss Dora Linkins testified that on the
night in question she was at the flying
horses at the corner of Second and X

In short time the Republicans of
Michigan will choose their nominee for
governor, to lead the party in a campaign
of peculiar Importance whose conditions
demand particular care in the choice of
candidates.
The friends of Dexter NJ Ferry of
Detroit, have put forward his name as a
candidate, believing that his services to
the party in the past entitle him TO the
honor, and that his life record as citi.
zen makes him an ideal man to rally the
party forces to success.
Nothing succeeds like success"
His candidacy has now been before the
public for several months, yet in all the
rumor and gossip of this period nothing
has been urged against him except the
fact that he has been a successful man.
Mr.. Ferry was once as poor as any
young man in Michigan. All that he
possesses he has made by honest work,
attention to mis- business and native
ability.
He was bred on a farm, the son of a
farmer, and acquired his early education,
as many another Michigan man is &C.
quiring his today, by working early and
late and studying at odd moments.
His business methods since he founded
the now famous house of ID. NJ. Ferry 81
Co., have been such as to make his name
household word all over the United
States and synonym for upright deal
ing.
His success is an example TO the youth
of Michigan of what may be accom-
plished by honest, persistent and we'll
directed effort.
His record as a citizen is without a
stain. Success has not changed his
character, nor has wealth made him sell
fish. There is not in Michigan a more
public-spirited man than he or one who
gives more literally to aid the less for
tunate
The interests of the Republican party
and of the people of Michigan will be
safe in the hands which have success

Notwithstanding this array we believe
there is choice and careful judgment

ing that the platform on which he runs
shall be dictated by the people and not
by few politicians ;one who will advise
with men of experience instead of few
heelers who are after office Such man
is the Hon. Dexter NJ. Ferry of Detroit.
Mr.. Ferry has been resident of Michi-
gan for 40 years-he is the architect of
his own fortune ana he knows what it is
to be obliged TO practice self sacrifice in
order to get along. He knows the wants
of the state, and is probably as well ac-
quainted with it agriculturally as any
man in it. He is old enough GA years
of age to have acquired that ripe eX-
perience which makes a mans counsel
and advice valuable. He is strong men.

thinking. His nomination would be a
credit to the party with which he has
been identified for, years and whose state

He is thoroughly honest, his integrity is
unassailable his public life and acts are
above reproach; and in the city where
he is best known he is held in the highest |

of course reduces the sugar content and

If the ground intended for the seed
should appear too dry, it is we'll to soak
the seed for day before planting. This,
however, will hardly be necessary in

been plenty of rain.
