BUILDING LEGISLATION.

TO Be Provided for.
Washington, Dec. 27.-Congressman
Mercer, chairman Of the house commit
tee on public buildings and grounds.
expects to begin his committee work
shortly after the Christmas recess He
has notified his committee that there
shall be meetings twice each week until
a number Of building projects are
passed upon, approved or rejected.
There are comparatively few large
cities which are now unprovided for.
but there are a host Of smaller munici-
palities in need OF suitable quarters for
their government officials. In addition
to these there are number of build
ings needed for government department
work in Washington. A determined
effort is to be made by members and
senators to secure the necessary legis-
lation for these. Provision for the
erection of new buildings for the de-
partment Of agriculture and for the
department of justice will probably be
made. Mr.. Mercer plans great build
ing for the housing of the department
Of justice and the supreme court of the
United States to be located on Capitol
hill, and to rival in its architectural de-
sign and elaborateness the library OF
congress, admittedly the finest building
in the United States, and perhaps the
most ornate library building in the
world. Whether this ambitious plan is
carried out or not some provision will
be made for the buildings indicated, as

General Kitchener Reports Another
Success for the Beers.
London, Dec. 27.-The following dis
patch has been received from Lord
Kitchener. dated Johannesburg:
General Rumble reports that the
night OF December "a, Colonel Firman's
camp at Zeefontein, consisting of three
companies of yeomanry and two guns,
was successfully rushed by strong
command under DeWet. 1t is feared
the casualties were very heavy. Two
regiments of light horse are pursuing
the Beers"
Boer resistance has always been very
strong in that part of the Orange River
Colony which was the scene of General
DeWets coup. A great quadrangle OF
blookhouses is being built there, the
four points of which are Vereenignen,
Valkrust, Harrismith and Kroonstadt.
At the southeast corner of this quad
rangle is long open space from Beth
lehem to LindleS where the square of
blockhouses is still incomplete, and here
DeWet made his attack. Colonel Fir
mans force probably amounted to 400
men. ard the disaster, especially the
loss of the guns, the possession of
which may enable DeWet successfully
to, attack the blockhouses. creates a
disturbing impression.

Cincinnati. Dec. PA Washington
special to the Commercial Tribune

bers. The speaker was there dining
with friend, and the member sent the
waiter to him notifying. him that his
guest waa resident Of the district,
and. under the rules, could not be al
lowed in the club. 1t Is true that this
ultra fashionable club has this rule,
but 1t is not enforced. altho members
are expected not to abuse the privi-
lege. But the Metropolitan does not
care for men who are in trade. The
speakers guest was local business
man, and as such was offensive to the
club.
The speaker did not know at first
who had called him down for bringing
man In trade into his club, but when
he found out that he was clerk In

Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans, is certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
citement and worry Of American bust
pess life, 1t is more often the result of
weak stomachs. or poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trou-
BILE is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
BILE and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by the same great
nerves, the sympathetic and pneumo-
gastric.
In another way, also, the heart is at
fected by the form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
f-digested food. There Is a feeling of
oppression and heayiness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter-
fering with their action; hence arises
ralpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble lie to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals Of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores. and which
contain valuable. harmless digestive
elements In a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form OF
stomach trouble except cancer OF the
stomach.
