A Substitute for Coal.

London is trying to produce sub
stitute for household coal. Common
peat, chemically prepared, is the pro-
posed new COAL" Whether it will de-
place the faithful old fuel remains to
be seen. Time will weigh it in the bal
ance and if found wanting, relegate it
to the graveyard of failure, where so
many imitators of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the great dyspepsia cure, may
be found. This has been the only gen
uine cure for half century. Every
sufferer should try it for constipation,
indigestion, dyspepsia, liver or kidney
troubles, if he would be cured. Be
sure to get the genuine with our Pri-
waite Revenue Stamp over the neck of
the bottle. There is nothing as good
for malaria, fever and ague, or to
counteract rheumatism.

ARCHBISHOP KEANE's PLAN.
Head of Dubuque See Talks to His
Priests at Dinner.

Dubuque, Oct 3.-Archbishop Keane
revealed his plans to the 265 priests
who dined with him at the Hotel Julien
yesterday. He declared for a cam.
paign of Christian education. Prais-
ing the late Archbishop Hennessy's
stand on this question and accept
ing the policy of the state as settled,
he announced his purpose of estab-
fishing Roman Catholic high school
in Dubuque and erecting seminary,
for which the late archbishop left a
liberal sum.
st. Joseph's college and the par
rochial schools thruout the archdio-
cese would also be objects of his care.
He announced a synod about year
hence, after the completion of his
confirmation tour, at which the di-
vision of the archdiocese among 9TH
ers would be considered.
He declared his willingness that the
archdiocese should be divided and
his responsibilities lessened, but a
protest against division circulated dur
ing dinner was quite generally signed.

riding is. They have won pot of
money and had not Mr.. Stevens been
suspended from the N. G. A. curcuit,
as it is claimed unjustly, he would
undoubtedly be richer by several
thousand dollars than he is today.
In four races run in Paris recently
Mcfarland and Cooper won two first
prizes and one second in which all the
champion riders of the different coun-
tries where bicycling is a sport, were
entered. Their winnings for the week
amounted to $4,000 and had not Mr..
Stevens been disqualified he would
undoubtedly, barring accidents, have
taken a portion of it. because his
record shows that he was much the
speediest and for six months, despite
the fact that he had not ridden for
two months of that time he remained
at the head of the list.
Both Mcfarland and Cooper are
now riding in Berlin and in few
weeks will leave for Australia where
they will enter in the Austral derby
in which prizes aggregating $4,000
are hung up. Mr.. Stevens will also
go to Australia, provided he succeeds
in getting the ban removed. 1t is said

of cod-liver oil is the means of
life and enjoyment of life to
thousands: men women and

When appetite fails, it re-

When you lose flesh, it

When work is hard and
duty is heavy, it makes life
bright.
It is the thin edge Of the

But what is the use of food,
