AROUSED NO INTEREST.

Financial Bill Passed by the Senate.
A Majority of Eighteen-AH Tired
of Debate.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Not prob
ably in the history of the Senate was
there ever shown so little real interest
in the final vote on a great mesure as
manifested to-day in the vote on the
conference report of the financial bill.
The report was before the Senate for
nearly two weeks, yet only four
speeches were delivered upon it, in
Guiding Mr.. Aldrich's explanation of
the changes made in the Senate bill by
the conferees. The debate to-day
ceased on the bill fifteen minutes be-
fore the time fixed for the vote, and
the Senate actually began the consid-
Grafton of minor bills on the calendar
to consume time. The conference re-
port was agreed to by a vote OF A to
26, the report thus having majority
of IS. Early in the session the dis
cussion of the Quay case was resumed

go into court and ask that the vote

n Treatinx Dyspepsia and stomach
TROUBLES il Useless and Unscfen'
tine.
The almost certain failure Of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has
been proven time and again, but
even now a course Of dieting is
generally the first thing recon-
mended for a case of indigestion
or any stomach trouble.
Many people with weak digeS
ton, as well as some physicians,
consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion is
to restrict the diet, either by Sc
lecting certain foods and rejecting
others or to cut down the amount
of food eaten to barely enough to
keep soul and body together, in
other words the starvation plan, is
by many supposed to be the first
essential.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recon-
mend dieting to man already suf-
fering from starvation because in
digestion itself starves every or
gan, nerve and fibre in the body.
What people with poor digestion
most need is abundant nutrition,
plenty of good, wholesome, prop
erly cooked food, and something
to assist the weak stomach to di-
gest it.
This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are adapted and the true reason
why they cure the worst cases of
stomach trouble.
Eat sufficient amount of whole
some food and after each meal
take one or two of Stuart'S Dys-
pepsia Tablets to promptly digest
it.
In this way the system is nour-
ished and the overworked stom-
ach rested, because the tablets will
digest the food whether the stom-
ach works or not, one grain of the
active digestive principle in Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets being suf-
fiicient to digest 5000 grains of
meat, eggs or other albuminous
food.
DR.. Harlandson and DR.. Redwell
recommend these tablets in all
cases Of defective digestion be-
cause the pepsin and diastase in
them are absolutely free from ami
NAL matter and other impurities
and being pleasant to the taste are
as safe and harmless for the child
as for the adult.
All drug stores sell this excel
lent preparation and the daily use
of them after meals will be of
great benefit, not only as an i'm
mediate relief, but to permanently
build up and invigorate the diges-
tive organs.

TOWN WIPED OUT.
Prescott Visited by Disastrous Fire on
 Saturday Night.

Prescott was the scene of one of the most disastrous fires that has ever oc- cured in the Territory. The loss is estimated at $l ,5oo, 1000, with insurance at $385, ,Ooo.
 The fire started just before II p. m. Sunday, and was not under control un- til 4:30 a. m. Sunday. It was caused by lighted candle coming in contact with loose wall paper in Burchard's store, a two-story frame building on South MOntezuma street. The fire quickly spread to the Scopel building, four-story stone and brick adjoining, and then to the numerous frame shacks in it's rear and running back to Granite street. These were quickly licked up by the fire,
 From Granite street the fire swept north and spread east 10 Montezuma street and the famous Whisky Row. There was absolutely no water pressure and dynamite was resOrted to. Many buildings were blown up before the flames reached the Burke hotel on the corner of Montezuma and Gurley streets, but without avail.
 The stationary house of Kelley & Stevens stood on the corner opposite the Hotel Burke. When it was seen that the flames would keep on north, the Kelley x Stevens establishment was dynamited, but the fire only scat tered. It kept it's northerly course un. til there was absolutely nothing left to burn, and had also crossed MOntezuma

 The liquOr-house of Jake Marks and the Winsor hotel were quickly enwrap- ped. Next came the great Bashford. Burmister company's mercantile estab- lishment with it's quarter million stock. and the entire block to Cortez street was burned. The fire did not cross to the east side of Cortez street, but ex- tended west on Cortez to Heads lum. Der yard and west to Granite Creek. About seventy dwellings were burned.
 Out of fourteen hotels only two are left, and Of twenty-twO mercantile houses twenty are gone, Gardner and Daugherty being the fortunate ones. There is not a restaurant or butcher shop left in the town and but two dry goods and clothing houses-M. Gold water & Bros. and Blumberg's.
 The people of Prescott are not dis hearted by their losses and rebuilding has already commenced.
