tatiUn:
That the policy of governmental super
vision and control of railroads. as origi-
naly laid down in the Senate committee
report of 1876, and embodied the following
year in tint interstate commerce act, be
revived and strengthened; that the au-
thority of the interstate commerce com
mission, necessary for the adequate pro-
lection of shippers and clearly intended
by the Trainer of the law be restored and
that the powers and functions of the COM

templated in the so-caled Culom bin of

TEST EXPERIMENT.
Peculiar Power Possessed by a New
Medicine.

OF new discoveries there is no end,
but one of the most recent, most re-
markable and one which will prove in
valuable to thousands of people, is a
discovery which it is believed will take
the place of all other remedies for the
cure of those common and obstinate
diseases, dyspepsia and stomach trou-
bles. This discovery is not loudly
advertised, secret patent medicine, but
is scientific combination of whole
some, perfectly harmless vegetable es-
sences, fruit salts, pure pepsin and

These remedies are combined in loz-
enge form, pleasant to take, and will
preserve their good qualities indefinite
ly, whereas all liquid medicines rapid
ly lose whatever good qualities they
may have had as soon as uncorked and
exposed to the air.
This preparation is called Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets and it is claimed
that one of these tablets or lozenges
will digest from 300 to 5000 times its
own weight of meat, eggs and other
wholesome food. And this claim has
been proven by actual experiments in
the following manner: A hard boiled
egg cut into small pieces was placed
in bottle containing warm water
heated to ninety-eight degrees Cor
blood heaD, one of these Tablets was
then placed in the bottle and the prop
err temperature maintained for three
hours and half, at the end of which
time the egg was as completely digest
ed as it would have been in healthy
stomach. This experiment was under
taken to demonstrate that what it
would do in the bottle it would also do
in the stomach, hence it's unquestion-
able value in the cure of dyspepsia and
weak digestion. Very few people are
free from some form of Indigestion but
scarcely two will have the same symp-
toms. Some will suffer most from
distress after eating. bloating from
gas in the stomach and bowels, others
have acid dyspepsia or heartburn,
others palpitation or headaches, sleep
lessness, pains in chest and under
shoulder blades, extreme nervousness
as in nervous dyspepsia, but they all
have same caue. failure to properly di-
gest what is eaten. The stomach
must have rest and assistance. and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it
both, by digesting the food for it and
in a short time it is restored to it's nor
NAL action and vigor. At same time
the Tablets are so harmless that a
child can take them with benefit. This
new preparation has already made
many astonishing cures, as for in
stance, the following:
After using only one package of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets 1 have received
such great and unexpected benefit that
/ wish to express my sincere gratitude.
In fact, it has been six months since
took the package and have not had
one particle of distress or difficulty
since. And all this in the face of the
fact that the best doctors / consulted

STA and absolutely incurable as / had

ANOTHER FAMINE
Threatens to Deva state Portion of India
Through Lack of Rain.

London, Feb. From Calcutta, the
correspondent of the Daily Mail in a
dispatch says there is little doubt but
that India is threatened with another
famine. This is the more to be dreaded
because the area affected is practically
the same which has been ravaged dur
ing the past two years. Much depends
upon the rainfall during the coming
fortnight, continues the correspondent,
as a large portion of the spring crops is
still capable of salvation.

BANK BLOWN UP
Robbers at Summit Loot the Vault,
Getting From $4,000 to
$4,000.

George A. Smith, general agent in
Minneapolis for the Fidelity and Cas-
ualty company, Of New York, received
information from Summit, S. D., last
night that the Bank of Summit had
been blown UP by robbers and the
vault looted Of all its contents. The
details were meager, but in spite of all
of Mr.. Smiths efforts he was unable
to communicate with the bank Off
Gals. The loss is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000, but it is claimed the
bank proprietors will lose nothing, for
they were insured against robbery
From what can be learned it ap-
pears that the robbers entered the
building early this morning and used
a quantity of explosives which wreck
ed the structure and gave access to
the money vault. The robbers escaped.
1t is claimed that none of the towns
men was hurt; in fact, the people Of
the little village did not know of the
attack on the bank until the robbers
had left.
Summit is little town of about $50
people, in Roberts county, some fif-
teen miles from Wilmot, the county
seat The proprietor of the bank is C.
H. Lien. Detectives of the company are

GERMAN CABINET MAY
BE REORGANIZED
Result of the Inevitable Defeat of the
Tariff Bill in The
Reichstae.

BERLIN, Oct. 20.-During today's
debate in the reichstag on the new
tariff bill, sensation was caused by
DR.. Sattler, National Liberal, calling on
Chancellor Won Buelow to dissolve the
house land thus end the comedy" The
impression caused by the delegates
speech was all the greater because pri-
or to the opening of the sitting it was
rumored that the government In
tended to dissolve the reichstag if the
first paragraph of the bill was de-
feated
The reichstag will begin voting to-
morrow on the amendments to para
graph one of the grain duties. The
Socialists have offered certain propo-
sitions, the determination of which
may delay the vote on the main ques-
ton until Wednesday, but the defeat
of the government by large major
ity seems to be certain. The ministry's
defeat will by no means oblige it to
resign, but it's reorganization is not
unlikely.
Count Won PosadoWslky- Wehner i'm
perial secretary of state for the inte-
rior, whose advice is followed by the
cabinet, may feel that he ought to re-
sign or ask to be transferred to some
position outside of Berlin. The next
two days will be an anxious time for
the ministry. Count Won Buelows con-
Germ is shown by the fact that he sum-
moned the finance ministers of Bolivia,
Saxony, Wurtemburg and Baden to
speak in support of the governments
grain duties and against the agrarian
demands. The speeches. of these min
listers, thus far, have been without Wis
ible effect.

in his nightshfrt at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning at the Hanover station to a
