HE WAS TOO SLOW.
Congressman With an Amendment to
Army Bill.

Washington, March 29.-Some pre-
liminary routine business was transact
ed in the house today. A bill was
passed granting to the Minnesota and
Manitoba railroad right of way across
the ceded portion of the Chippewa and
Red Lake Indian reservation.
When the army appropriation bill
was resumed, Mr.. McRae (Ark.) at
tempted to secure an amendment to
the provision giving officers and men
serving beyond the limits of the United
States 10 to 20 per cent. respectively ex>
ira pay, which would limit the extra
compensation to those serving in the
Philippines. He thought there was no
reason why those serving in Porto Rico,
Cuba and Alaska should receive addi-
tional compensation. The paragraph to
which the amendment would have been
pertinent had been passed, and the
chairman refused to return to it

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
q 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 radi-
cal, permanent cure for dyspepsia and
indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never being
humbIgged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk a little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so re-
liable and universally used as Stuart 3
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
made of their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural d.
gestive ferments. pure aseptic pepsin.
the digestive acids, Golden Seal bis
muth, hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore it 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.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food. That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison as ii creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation Of
the heart, loss Of flesh and appetite, and
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name.

After more than thirty years of delay,
bill has reached the president appro-
priating $4,000 to Hattie Phillips, the
widow Of the scout, John Phillips, who
saved the little garrison of Fort Phil
kearney, Wyoming, from the Sioux in
the closing year of the war Phillips
rode 235 miles in dead of winter to Fort
Laramie through the lines of hostile
Sioux who followed him all of the way
to bring relief. He was five days on
the journey, two days without food for
himself and horse, a Kentucky thor
oughbred owned by Colonel Darlington
OF Fort Kearney. The Indians were so
enraged that for years they destroyed
his property. The sum finally awarded
by congress was for that property. Phil

BYNUM'S HARD ROW.
His Confirmation Is Still Held Up in
the Senate

Washington. March 292.-The senate
failed to confirm the nomination of W.
D. Bynum as general appraiser of the
port of New York. because of the alb
sence of quorum. The nomination was
debated at some length and was attacked
by Senators Jones (Ark.). Berry and
Money. while Senator'S Fairbanks and
Spooner spoke in Mr.. Bynum's behalf.
The opponents of confirmation based their
opposition on the ground that Mr.. By
mated as such. They called attention to
the law requiring that four of the nine
appraisers should be of party different
from the other five and contended that
Mr.. Bynum's appointment would be con-
trary to the law. 1t was replied that
Mr. Bynum had been a Democrat
throughout his career and that even dur
ing the campaign of 1896 he had been a.
supporter of Palmer and Buckner, gold
Democrats.
