SUPERIOR MERIT
Remarkable Currtive Properties Of REM
cdy for Indigestion and Stomach Weak =
0act

Stuurt's Dyspepsia Tablets, a prcpar-
alton for the cure of dyspepsia and the
various forms OF indigestion and stom-
ach trouble, owes It's great success as
a cure for these troubles to the fact
that 1t is prepared for disease and
weakness Of the stomach and digestive
organs only, and is not recommended
OF advised for any other disease.
1T is not a cure-all, but for any stom-
ach trouble, II IL undoubtedly the sa-
fest, most sensible remedy that can be
advised with the prospect OF per-
manent cure. II Is prepared in tablet
form, pleasant to taste, composed Of
vegetable and fruit essences. pure pep
sin and Golden Seal, every one of
which act effectively in digesting the
food eaten, thereby resting and invig-
Grating the weak stomach; rest is ma
turc's cure for any disease, but you
cannot rest the stomach unless you put
into il something that will do it's work
OF assist in the digestion of food.
That is exactly what Stuart's Dys-
pppsia Tablets do, one grain of the
digestive principle contained in them
will digest 5000 grains Of meat, eggs
or similar wholesome foods, they will
digest the food whether the stomach
Is in working order or not, thereby
nourishing the body and resting the
stomach at the same time, and rest and
no,1rishmcnt is natures cure for any
weakness.
In persons run dawn in flesh and ap
petite these tablets build up the
strength and increase flesh, because
they digest iesh-forming food which
the weak stomach cannot do. they in
crease the flow of gastric juice and
prevent fermentation. acidity and soul
watery risings.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores at 30 cents
per package.

PIGEONS ON The PULPIT.
The Rev. j. 10. Graham Tells Wilmington
Preachers Of str,kinr Incident.


Preachers Of str,kinr Incident.
At the weekly meeting Of the
Wilmington M. +. Preachers Asso.
citation in Union Church Monday, the
members we're highly interested by a
report from the Rev. j. Il. Graham Of
the incident of two pigeons visiting
his church at Wyoming during a
service there last Tuesday.
Mr. Graham was reading from the
Binle, when the first pigeon appeared
and perched Oh his head, He brushed
il of and it lighted on his shoulder.
He brushed it off again and it rested
on the Bible.
Then another pigeon appeared and
lighted on the clergymanis shoulder,
and when he brushed it off it also took
a position on the pulpit, and there the
two birds sat during an experience
meeting which lasted for about 20
minutes. There was no invitation to
the altar, as reported, and no CON-
versions. The incident was SO I'M
usual. however, that the people showed
a tendency to stiffness.
1t is not known whose pigeons they
were, but Mr.. Graham thinks they
were tame. They had not been seen
in that neiahboi hood before and they
have not been seen there since.
Mr.. Graham and his listeners of the
association looked upon it not as any
supernatural visitation but simply as a
striking incident. Mr.. Graham thinks
the pigeons lighted on him because he
was standing up and thel efore, a
prominent object. fly

Indications That Butler Will Again Try to
Relieve I.adysmitb.

London, Eng, Jan. 3l.--When the
nation had almost resigned itself to
the fall Of Ladysmith, there comes
from all quarters today an indication
that Gen. Butler will make another
attempt to relieve the besieged place.
II the Daily Nails report of Gen.
Buffers statement that he hoped to be
in Ladysmith within week could be,
implicitly relied on, news Of further
serious fighting would be expected
shortly. But the papers are loath to be-
lieve what the st. James Gazette char
acterizes as unwarrantable boasting, 7"
il true. Moreover, the War Office
throws cold water on the dispatch this
afternoon, by issuing a statement that
il has no news confrmatory Of such
move as Gen. Buffers reported speech
indicates. Yet, today's dispatches from
Ladysmith and Cape Town give
strong impression that there is some
thing more than rumor in all these
reports.
Sudden orders were received at Alder
shot this afternoon for the immediate
embarkation of the Fourth cavalry
brigade for the Cape.
A special dispatch from Cape Town
says $50 American scouts, who arrived
there as muleteers, have enlisted in the
British forces. ne BY GA
