NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CURE FOR ALL.
Not Patent cure-aII, Nor a Modern Miracle, But Simply Rational
 Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days of humbuggery and de- ception the manufacturers of patent medicines, as a rule, seem to think their medicines will not sell unless they claim that 1t will cure every disease under the sum- And they never think of leaving out dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They are sure to claim that their nostrum is absolutely certain to cure every dyspeptic and he need look no further.
 In the face of these absurd claims it Is refreshing to note that the proprietors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have care fully refrained from making any undue claims or false representations regarding the merits of this most excellent remedy for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They make but one claim for 1t, and that is, that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is a radical cure. They go no further than this and any man or woman suffering from indigestion, chronic or nervous dys- pepsia, who will give the remedy a trial will find that nothing is claimed for it, that the facts will not fully sustain
 It is a modern discovery, composed of harmless vegetable ingredients acceptable to the weakest or most delicate stomach Its great success in curing stomach trou- bles is due to the fact that the medical properties are such that it will digest WndIeNeT WnOleSOHc lOOu IS ldhtI lLlO the stomach no mater whether the stom- ach is in good working order or not It rests the overworked organ and replen- ishes the body the blood, the nerves, creating a healthy appetite, give refresh ing sleep and the blessings which always accompany a good digestion and proper assimilation of food.
 In using Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets no dieting is required. Simply eat plenty of wholesome food and take these Tablets at each meal, thus assisting and resting the stomach which rapidly regains it's proper digestive power, when the Tablets will be no longer required.
 Nervous Dyspepsia is simply condition in which some portion or portions of the nervous system are not properly nourish- ed. Good digestion invigorates the ner- vous system and every organ in the body.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists at 50 cents per package

MADE BETTER MOTHERS.
Mrs. Burdette Makes Address On the
 Purposes of Women's Clubs.

Chicago, November 4.-"If the club woman does not make the best com panion for her husband, and the best comrade for her boy, there is either something wrong with the club or with the womans views,'' said Mrs. Robert J. Burdett, first vice president general of the Federation of Women's Clubs. in a lecture before the West End club yes- terday afternoon.
 Club life for women should prepare them for making better wives and moth- ers," declared Mrs. Burdett Cor the club has not accomplished its mission'
 Mrs. Burdett also scored the women in general for being responsible for the mad rush for wealth, which she declared was the greatest menace to perfect do- mestic happiness and the highest ideal of married life.

Ancient and Modern Reporting.

From the New York Sun.
 In old times there were three. ways to report testimony the verbatim, the sketch and the summary. Let us give an example.
 John Smith sworn and examined by MT. Jones:
 0. What is your business?
 A. am d carpenter.
 Q. How long have you worked at your trade?
 A. I have worked at my trade for 20 years.
 Q. Do you know the defendant?
 A. do.
 c. How long have you known him?
 A have known him for the past 10 years.
 So much for the verbatim. Now for the sketch:
 John Smith, on being sworn, said he was a carpenter. He worked at his trade for 20 years and knew the defendant for 10 years.
 And the summary:
 John Smith, carpenter, knew the de- fendant for ten years.
 The yellow fever, however, has evolved a new style of reporting:
 John Smith tall and angularly formed fellow with bushy red hair and flaming whiskers, was sworn. He kissed the book with a resounding smack, adjusted his green necktie, sat down in the wit ness chair, ran his right hand through his ruby locks, crossed his legs, which were closely incased in blue and white trousers of the latest cut, and then looked straight into the eyes of Counselor Jones' In solemn tones the latter asked him his business. q am a carpenter" was the humble reply, made in a clear and high-pitched voice that was heard distinctly In the remotest corner of the court room.
 How long have you been a carpen- ter?" asked MT. Jones with a threaten ing look in his left eye I have been a carpenter, sir, said the witness with great dignity and fully appreciating the importance of the question, during the past twenty years Then MT. Jones drew himself up to his fullest height, and ex- tending his right arm at an angle of 45 degrees he brought 1t down again swiftly until his huge fist struck the table with a horrible dull thud. DO you know the defendant? he shouted in thunderous tones. I do,' was the reply, made In ac- cents pitched in a high key which con- trasted strangely with the cavernous tones of the learned counsel.' Then MT. Jones' with flashing eyes and clenched

Burglars Blow Open Vaults of State
 Bank In Wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Wis, November 4.-An evening Wisconsin special from Marsh field, Wis, says:
 The State bank at Greenwood, Wis, several miles from here. was entered by five burglars at an early hour today ana $s0OO in gold was stolen. They blew open two vaults with dynamite
 The noise of the explosion attracted several citizens, including the cashier o. the bank, who happened to be on the street at the time As soon as the bur- glars were discovered a gun fight ensued and several shots were exchanged. No one was injured and the robbers suc- eeeded in making their escape. The sheriff of Marathon county spread the news of the burglary in all directions and every effort will be made to capture the robbers

Amerlcanlsms.

From the London Chronicle.
 We are reminded by a correspond ent that fall" is not the only word of which the Americans have preserved the old English meaning. According to the late MT. Richard A. Proctor, the phrase, q guess" to English ears so ridiculous, is really identical with the oIu English expression "I wis.," mean ing q know" The word guess" has changed its meaning entirely in Eng land, but has partly preserved 1t in America, where, of course, the native says, 'I guess," when he is more or less in state of certainty. There are many other examples of words that have played fast and loose with "g' and "w," as guardian" and warden, ' guard" and ward" "gulchet" and "wicket"

Consumption.

From the Philadelphia Press
 Consumption is today both the most fatal disease known and the one which there is the most hopeful prospect of eradicating. It causes one death in six, and one death In three or four, among adults. The mortality from it has been reduced one-half in this city in a decade. Let the city and state do their duty, and this disease will practically disappear
 In this duty the first step is the ap propriation by council when it meets of a sum large enough to isolate the tuberculosis patients at Blockley. Crowded as they are today they im peril all with whom they come In con. tact, friends, physicians and nurses and they are source of danger and center of infection to the whole city.
 From 2000 to 5000 lives a year and from 15,000 to 10000 disabled and dis eased victims of tubercular consump- tion in all it's forms can be saved in this city addresses itself to the task of the intelligent suppression of tubercu- losis. The almshouse reform is the first step. Consumption Is not con- IdglOuS put du lulSCIlOuB ulS0dSe. lt is infectious, not by single contact or exposure, but by successive con. tacts and exposures. But no case ever comes without some exposure and some contact.
 Remove these and consumption will end. Centers of the disease must first be broken up. Of these the largest and most dangerous is in the city hospital at Blockley. Consumption is the disease of the poor. It accom- panies malnutrition, exposure and or ganic weakness. Blockley is crowded with human wrecks. Such, the insane, the inebriate, the underfed and tho physically weak, are the natural vic tins of consumption. Once started there, it may attack the youngest, the strongest and most healthy, if any lo- cal cause aids it's fatal entrance. The cases at Blockley form center from which the disease is propagated. Isolate these cases; give them favor able surroundings, and this peril is ended.

Boston Draws the Line.

Boston, Dec. 10-It has just been
proposed in Boston in all seriousness
to establish a separate public school
for negro children.
Strange as it may seem, this pro-
iect started with the negroes them.
selves, and it has met with much
favor by the whites who have chill
dren attending the public schools.
The rapid increase in the negro
population has resulted in two large
negro colonies, one in the west end
and the other in the south end. The
negroes desire separate schools be-
cause in the colored districts many
white children attend schools where
negro children are pupils. The
negro children say they are treated
as interiors by the white children,
hence the desire OF the parents of
the negroes to have schools where
their children shall have no social or
racial superiors. Tae reasons why
the white parents want separate
schools are, obvioua.

The Law Against T-espassegs.

We clip the following from the
Yorkville Eoquirer, for the informa-
tion of The Dispatch readers as We
have had many to ask us regarding
the requirements Of the law. The
following covers the point just about
like We have always explained it.
There has been a great of deal
interest in the law as to trespass and
several people have applied to the
Enquirer for information on the sub
ieet. They especially desired to
know what was necessary to be done
in order to properly post their lands
against irresponsible hunters snd
others. Fsr the convenience Of the

public generally, We herewith repro
duce the full text of the law in re.
gard to the matter, as approved
February 2, 1898. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Livery entry upon the lands Of
mother, after notice from the owner
,r tenant prohibiting the same, shall
,e misdemeanor, and to be punish
d by fine not exceeding one hun
ired dollars or imprisonment with
aard labor on the public works of the
.ounty not exceeding thirty days.
Provided, That wherever any owner
or tenant of any lands shall post a
ootice in four conspicuous places on
the borders of any lands, prohibiting
ntry thereon, and shall publish once
week for four successive weeks,
such notice in any newspaper circu-
tating in the country where such
lands are situated, proof of the
posting and of publishing such notics
orior to the entry, shall be deemed
aud taken as notice conclusive
against the person making entry as
sforesaid for hunting and fishing.
Under the law as it stood before it
was amended as above, the landowner
or tenant was unable to prosecute
trespasser unless he could prove that
be had previously given the tres
passer personal warning. As the
law now stands, the prescribed pub
tication is of itself sufficient notice.
The trespasser cannot claim that he
did not know, for the law makes it
his business to know.
And to keep up with all these
things it is encumbent upon you to
subscribe for the Dispatch. It may
save you the price of fifty years sub
scription, and all it costs is One
Dollar year.
