 Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat, pastry or coffee Is served and the food crank is in his glory. and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never fn- tended for human stomachs. and almost make us believe that our sturdy ances- tors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef. pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was ex- tended to any kind from bacon to acorns.

 Wounded.

Memphis, Tenn, May 30.-William Wooten was shot to death by his brother Jesse wooten at o'clock this afternoon on Auction street near Front.

He is not seriously injured. Jesse fired five shots at his brather and every one of them took effect about the head and body When he had emptied his pistol his broth CT lay almost at his feet breathing his last. Jesse made no effort to escape.

should eat plenty of meat and insure It's proper digestion by the daily use of a safe. harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the natural digestive principles pepsin, diastase. fruit acids and salts which ac- tually perform the work of digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines masquerad- ing under the name of dyspepsia cures absolutely for indigestion as they have absolutely no effect upon the actual di- gestion of food.
 Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is sim- ply a failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of a preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which is endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive prin- ciples

The veterans who suffered great incon- venienee and who have expressed them selves rather strongly on the subject felt that there was a mistake somewhere in the arrangements. The city of Memphis must admit that the crowds were too big to handle.
 Just where the blame should be placed will be left to individual opinion, but the popular sentiment tends towards decreas. ing. If possible the crowds that attend these annual reunions of Confederate veterans. 4s
 The mobs at Memphis took away the dignity of the occasion.
 The visitors to the reunion have been unanimous in their praise of the rail- roads. All the lines coming into Memphis have been taxed to the uttermost, but the crowds were well handled The Ala barna delegation came and returned over the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming- ham system, and not a complaint has been heard in regrad to the accommoda- 1 ton on this road. The elegant dining cars of this system have been brought into constant service, and the officials of l the road have cause for congratulation upon the splendid management.

 As compared with grains and vegeta- bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment in highly concentrated form and is digested and assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.
 Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If the digestion is too feeble at first it may be easily cor rected by the. regular use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of these excellent tablets taken after dinner will digest several thousand grains of meat. eggs or other animal food in three hours, and no matter how weak the stomach may be- no trouble will be experienced if regular practice is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets be- cause they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.

THE IRON MARKET
 IS RATHER QUIET
Consumption is Enormous and No Uneasiness Felt as
 to the Future

New York, May 30-AThe Iron Age says tude of expectancy which in some quar- ters Is verging upon uneasiness. As one of the leading iron merchants in the coun- try puts it, the trade generally fails to realize that the rate of buying is one thing and the rate of consumption is quite another.
 "The buying usually comes in pro- nounced waves, there having been such a rush this spring. The consumption, which is, after all, the dominating factor, is less subject to violent fluctuations and unfor- tunately cannot be so quickly and so &C., curately gauged. The first evidence that consumers have over-bought appears in the form of either protests against rapid deliveries or of demands to delay ship ments.
 Applying that to the present situation, the facts are that important consuming interests are rather crowding the makers often asking for anticipation of deliver les. that, for instance, is true of the Western farm implement makers Inci- dentally this shows, too, that the con- sumers are not carrying large stocks of raw material.
 Another proof of the current heavy consumption is furnished by the condi- ton of the order books of the mills. A little incident is cited to throw light on the situation from this point of view The story has 1t that one of the large works of the United States Steel Cor
 
 extent of 100000 tons. The tonnage was diverted to another very large plant which filled that one in turn overfowing up to November 1.
 Under the circumstances prolonged Hull in buying should cause no uneasiness. because evidently the heavy consumption is going on right along.

MEMPHIS MADE 4
 GREAT FAILURE Hundreds of Veterans Suffered from Hunger REPORTS NOT EXAGGERATED Doors To Cafes Were Closed In Face of Great Crowds, and It Was
 Almost Impossible To Get
 Something to Eat.
REPORTS NOT EXAGGERATED
BY ANNIE kENpRIck WALKER.

Memphis, Tenn, May s0.-(SpeciaI. j. Hundreds of Confederate veterans who journeyed to Memphis for the purpose of unfurling once more a few tattered flags and battle-scarred banners, and of recalling their experiences, have been forced to undergo privations similar to those of war. The little necessaries of life in the way of sleeping facilities and a sufficiency of food have been Memphis luxuries, and very rare at that, and the consequence has been that every out going train has carried thousands of vis- itors who were tired of searching for lodgings and of looking through the closed doors of the crowded cafes.
 The Reports are True.
 The reports of the over-crowded cordi- tion of the city have not been exagger- ated The stories that have gone out in regard to inadequate accommodations are true. Hundreds of visitors were forced to return home by the next train owing to their inability to even secure lodgings If they succeeded in obtaining rooms the difficulty of getting something to eat at once presented itself. The cafes in the hotels were thronged every moment in the day and far into the night. The restaurants and lunch stands turned away their thousands. Over at the vet erans' tent free lunches were served by the commissary department. People sat on the curbings and munched sand wiches. The grand stands fronting the magnificent court of honor were filled with hungry men, women and children.
 Cafes Closed Doors.
 The doors to the public cafes were shut in the face of struggling streams of peo- pie clamboring for something to eat. The alternating showers and sunshine, the floral parade, the fire display along the river shore. were free to the throngs of people who fianked the avenues and lined the banks of the river. But entrance to a cafe could not be procured for love or money.
 "I will give you fifty dollars for cup of tea,' walled a woman over the tele- phone to her friend. You shall have fete champetre," was the reply, but that was an unusual case.
 The complaint that Memphis failed in her entertainment of the reunion visi- tors has come from all classes of people. There were those who refused accommo- dation, because 1t meant huddling up with dozen other persons in the same room.
 Hundreds of Cots.
 There were cots down hundreds of cor riders and drawing rooms and dining rooms converted into dormitories. For those who raised no objection to sleeping six and eight in a room there may have been ample accommodation. For those persons who could procure meal tickets and were willing to stand in line at cafe, there was always a prospect of get ting something to eat. This practically describes the condition which confronted thousands of visitors to the reunion
 The hospitality of Memphis was over taxed. The influx of 100000 people within twenty-four hours was enough to have thrown the city into panic, and demor- alized its routine.
 Committees PoWerless.
