FARMERS OPPORTUNITIES.
Delegate Favors Reclamation of Arid
 Lands of West.

Sioux Falls, s. D.. October 3.-At to- days session of the Farmers National Congress, Dr. J. W. Heston of the South Dakota Agricultural College, in paper on Farmers Opportunities" discussed the necessity of government aid for the reclamation of the arid lands of the west; He said the general government had re- ceived half billion dollars from the sale of western lands since 1875. and thought 1t not unreasonable to ask that $15, 900 be expended for ten years in the reclama- ton of lands capable of supporting pop ulation equal to the present population of the United States. The discussion de- veloped the probability that a resolution would be adopted tomorrow in favor of national aid to the irrigation of arid lands of the west.
 At the afternoon session, Prof. H. W. Campbell of Texas delivered an address on Soil Culture in the Semi-Arid West" Hon. Jomn P. Brown of Indiana discuss ed Ancient American Forests, Living and Petrifed."
 At tonight's session the American Girl and the Home was discussed by Mrs. Bertha Dahl of Minnesota.

SECOND MARK
 IN SIGHT.

Now the second mark was In sight and at 12:45 jib topsails were dowsed on both yachts and they luffed around it, Sham rock in the lead, but the watches showing Columbia's gain on this leg to be thirty seconds. It was now a dead heat to wind- ward to the finish line. The Columbia was now the leading craft from the mathematical point of view. She had gained on both legs and also had her time allowance of forty-three seconds to help her. Thus, if she could hold her own to the finish line, the race was hers. In a splendid thresh to windward the Colum- bia outpointed the Shamrock, but the challenger seemed to be going a little faster. At Ills the Columbia ran like a streak of lightning through the lee of the Shamrock. luffed out across her bow and for the first time in the race she was the leading and the windward boat.
 At 1;20 both yachts went on the port tack standing toward the Long Island shore. There was little or no difference between them them in tn.s board. At 1:57 both went on the starboard tack for the finish line. Then came the biggest puff of all. The Shamrock had three or four strokes of the deck under water but ran risks hoping to diminish her defeat or even to win. But 1t was in vain. She made up little of her leeway but the Columbia crossed the line winner and time to spare.

 Official See President.

Washington, October 3.-President g. Gom- pers, of the Am erican Federation of La bor, and Ralph M. Easley. secretary of the National Civic Federation had con- ference, today with President Roosevelt.
 They presented several matters for his consideration. One of these was the Chinese exclusion act which terminates by limitation in March 1902. The labor interests 1t appears desire the exclusion act renewed and asked President Roose- Welt for his aid in this direction. The president likewise was asked to say something in his message recommending favorable action on the eight hour prop osition that has been pending in congress for several years. On both of these ques- tions Mir. Gompers was requested to sub init a brief, giving the position of the labor interests and all the facts that the labor leaders desire laid before the pres- ident.

Americas B cup dinners were advertised at the em- banlxment hotels, and overlooking the river fashionable people dined. watching the moving lights until red from all sides was flashed out. Columbia wins was shouted through the hotel corridors, and the throngs dispersed.
 A curious feature of the race was the announcement of the result in London over two minutes before 1t actually oc- cured off Sandy Hook This was due to a news agency message timed Sandy Hook, 2:06 D. m., saying that Columbia had won, followed by others giving al- legged details, all bearing time previous to the official and unofficial records of the yachts crossing the line.

Tampa.

LONDON EXPECTED
 TO WIN THE CUP

London, October 3.-The extent of Great Britain's disappointment at the defeat today of the Shamrock II can be thor oughly appreciated only by those who saw the thousands of spectators lining the embankment. Almost to a man they were expectant of victory.
 The early editions of the afternoon newspapers announcing that it was the Shamrock II's weather had keyed up hopes here almost to a pitch of certainty and many people entertained the idea that the depression over South African affairs might be relieved by a victory of Shamrock II. The latter's lead in the early part of the race so strengthened the impression that London threatened a repetition of Mafeking night. The crowds greeted the green lights on the towers and on the launches which paraded the Thames with wild delight.

 A big fight in the convention and a probable split in the association was averted by the refusal of the committee on resolutions to incorporate into it's re- port resolution prepared by committee from the Chicago Board of Trade con demning the use of sulphur in doctoring grain. This resolution met such severe opposition from so many of the dealers both from Chicago and elsewhere that a compromise was effected by the adoption of the bucket shop resolution and shelv- ing the sulphur.

and meats is undoubtedly the best, in spite of the claims made by vegetarians and food cranks generally. ..s
 As compared with grains and vegeta- bles. meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and is di- gested and assimlated more quickly than vegetables or grains
 Dr. Julius Remusson, on this subject says: Nervous persons, people run down in health md of low vitality should eat plenty of meat. If the digestion Is too feeble at first 1t may be easily strength ened by the regular use of Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of these excellent. tablets taken a. -er din her will digest several thousand grains or meat, eggs or other animal food in three or four hours, while the malt diastase also contained in Stuart's Tab let's cause the perfect digestion of starchy roods, like potatoes, bread, etc., and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be experienced il a regu- lar practice is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because they supply the pepsin and diastase so necessary to perfect digestion, and any form of indi- gestion and stomach trouble except can cer of the stomach will be overcome by their daily use.
 That large class of people who come un- der the head of nervous dyspepsics should eat plenty of meat and insure it's com plete digestion by the systematic use of safe, harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the natural digestive principles peptones and diastase, which actually perform the work of digestion and give the abused stomach a chance to rest and to furnish the body and brain with the necessary nutriment. Cheap cathartic me-lcines masquerading under the name of dys- pepsia cures are useless Tor relief or cure of indigestion, because they have absolutely no effect upon the actual di- gestion of food.
 Dyspepsia in all its forms Is simply failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the indigestion is to make daily use at meal time of a safe preparation which is endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive prin- cipales, and all this can truly be said Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 All druggists throughout the United States, Canada and Great Britain sell them at the uniform price of 50 cents for full treatment.

Churchill Does Not Favor Home Rule
 for Ireland.

London, October 4-winston Churchill, speaking at Oldham, refererd to the diff ficulty caused by Irish obstruction and advocated the devolution to local bodies of much of the work of an overworked parliament.

"If the Irish question Is solved" he exclaim- ed," 1t will be by conservative govern ment and by an extension of local self government"

According to the Sunday Star, the
Burton managers are again at sea
for candidate for governor.
1t seems Richter has been found
wanting. The mistake was in giving
him encouragement IN the first place,
not in dropping him now. Mr.. Mil
Ter seems to be an improvement over
Richter but now Mr.. Burton has two
of his supportersin the same district
scrapping for the governors place.
This is somewhat embarrassing to
the fixers. They cannot well decide
in favor of either unless they have
something good to offer 10 the one
turned down and somehow or other
it seems the good things are all pre-
empted and few unfulfilled prom
ises still floating around. Uncle Cy
has come out squarely for Geo. Cole
and that forever takes him out of
the line of possibilities for the Bur
ton fellows.
1t would be a sacrilege for Bur
ton man to support any man sup
ported by Mr.. Leland. Geo. Cole
is made of the right kind of stuff for
a governor but he might not toady
to the Burton crowd quite enough to
suit them, especially since he is sup
ported by Leland, so he is out of the
question. Charlie Scott won't and
