The White Horse Star says that work on the mine under the supervision of MT. Haman is progressing rapidly and now at depth of 45 feet the prospect is more encouraging than it has ever been. Another rich free milling gold quartz stringer has been cut through and the copper ore beneath has increas- ed in richness, native copper being fre- quently encountered.
 It is estimated that within the great Copper river watershed there are 30000 square miles of as good, rich farming and grazing lands as can be found in the North. The soil is described as loamy and easily cleared. The hills and valleys abound in growths of red top and bunch grass that makes fine hay.

ONLY ONE WAY
TO PURIFY THE BLOOD, INCREASE
FLESH AND STRENGTH AND TO
CURE INDIGESTION.
SECRET PATENT MEDICINES WILL
NOT DO 1T.
There Is a simpler and Better way

There lis a simpler and Better Way.
There is only one way to purify the
blood, only one way to increase flesh,
and that is through the stomach and
digestive organs. Why? Because the
stomach and digestive organs make
blood and flesh, bone, nerves and
sinew. Did you ever see a person
blessed with a healthy, vigorous stom-
ach and digestion who had impure
blood, muddy. sallow complexion, or
who had weak nerves, SleepleSs nights
and the thousand and one pains and
aches arising from poor digestion? No,
beciluse perfect digestion converts the
food eaten into pure blood, strong
nerves, and muscles, and all the flesh
a person needs to have for health, SYM
metry and beauty.
Every person knows whether or not
his or her digestion is what it should
be, but every person does not know
what is the safest and best way to
secure and preserve a healthy condi-
ton of the digestive organs. 1t is not
done by thu use of any wonderful Sc
cret patent n edicine but by the use of
certain harmless digestive principles,
which, taken at meals, win digest the
food anyway, regardless of the weak
condition of the stomach.
DR.. Brooks recommends a combina-
ton of vegetable essences, fruit salts,
pure aseptic pepsin and Golden Seal,
prepared in convenient ia blet form,
and sold by druggists everywhere UNI
der the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets
These pleasant tasting tablets are to
be dissolved in the mouth after each
meal and, nlingling in the food in the
stomach; digest it perfectly. There is
nothing wonderful about this. Any
physician or chemist knows that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do this
because repeatedly tested and proved,
and thousands of cured dyspepties
have found it to be true also.
DR.. Harlanson states that these tab
lets increase flesh because they digest
flesh-fornning food like eggs. meat and
ordinary everyday food; for the same
reason they purify the blood and
strengthen weak nerves. In no other
way can it be done, because flesh, blood
and nerves are obtained from the food
we eat
DIR. Jennison once stated that he be-
lieved q 50-cent package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets would give more
real benefit than fifty dollars worth
of ordinary doctors fees.
These tablets may be found at any
drug store.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in it's place,
and Indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
it was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use it as such will
some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
a habit which thousands of people
practice almost daily, and one which
Is fraught with danger; moreover, the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels, and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestnes, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or peritoni-
tbs.
DR.. Harlanson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stom-
ach (acid dyspepsia an excellent
preparation sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia, Tab
let's. These tablets are large, 20-grain
lozenges, very pleasant to taste, and
contain the natural acids, peptones and
digestive elements essential to good
digestion, and when taken after meals
they digest the fool perfectly and
promptly before 1t has had time to
ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invaria bly,
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements, and
finds them certain cure, not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly di-
costing the food, they create a healthy
appetite, increase the flesh and
strengthen the action of the heart and
liver. They are not a cathartic, but in
tended only for stomach diseases and
weakness, and will be found reliable
in any stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach.

AN OPERA HOUSE BURNED.

Big Easter Sunday Audience at Mat
inee Has Close Call in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, O., March 30.-The Pike
building on Fourth street, between
Vine and Walnut streets, in which the
Pike Opera House is located, was par
TALLY destroyed by fire this afternoon.
Standing room had been taken at the
matinee, which was proceeding when
the flames broke out. The audience
retired in good order, but some women
tainted after reaching the street.
The auditorium is on the second floor,
and has two stairways leading to
Fourth street. There is also a stair
way from the stage landing
TO an alley on the rear.
About 1000 people were at
the matinee and the performance
of Sag Harbor," by the Pike Stock
Company, had proceeded only ten min
utes when the portieres in the corri-
doris were ablaze. The prompt efforts
of Manager Hunt and his staff and
the people on the stage were most sue
cessful in averting panic.
The fire started from some unknown
cause in the basement store room of
the Adams Express Company and ex-
tended up through the first floors of the
Adams Express office to the audito-
rum. The auditorium was so badly
damaged by water that it will not be
used any more this season. Scenery
in the lower part of the building was
damaged to the extent of $4,000. The
members of the company saved all
their costumes and baggage. Many
women of the audience fled without
their Easter hats and wraps, and the
individual losses win be considerable.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAr-
I'D INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not He Alarmed, INT Look for
the Cause.

Do Not he Alarmed, INT Look for
the Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among AM
orleans, are certainlq increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, it is mere often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real, organic heart disease is incura-
BILE; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetc and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fee ted py that lGrm of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermenta ton
from half digested food; there is
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest, caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arise palpltation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is TO improve the diges-
ton and to insure the prompt assiEni-
lation of food.
This can best 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 di-
gestive elements in a pleasant, conven-
lent form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cam
Ger of the stomach.

toria signalled her and she was soon
alongside. While the Noordland lay
close by Capt. Mckenzie began a
thorough search of the hold to ascer-
tain Just how bad the fire was. On
the matches being opened he found
that a shipment of hay in the front
compartment was blazing fiercely, and
what accentuated the danger was that

petroleum.

move his passengers. They were trans

ARE YOU THIN?
no YOU WANT TO BECOME FLEsHY
A FEW SIMPLE RULES.
Flesh and Not Fat Is what Is
Needed.

What thin people want is flesh, and
not fat. To be symmetrical and prop
erly proportioned every person should
have certain amount of flesh To be
plump does not necessarily mean to be
fat. Fat is undesirable; it clogs and
retards the action of every muscle, in
terferes with the healthy action of the
heart and lungs, and when excessive
predisposes to fatty degenration of
xital organs. to say nothing of the dis
comfort, more on less, resulting from
excessive adipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that If
one wishes to become fleshy and plump
the thing most needed would be flesh
forming foods; in other words, albu-
minous foods, like eggs, beef, oatmeal.
etc. The kinds of food that make flesh
are the foods that form the greater
part of our daily bill of fare.
Now, the only reason so many peo-
pie remain thin is because their stom-
achs do not properly and completely
digest and assimilate the fiesh-form-
ing beef steak and eggs we eat every
day.
There are thousands of such people,
and they are really dyspeptic, although
they may not suffer any particular
pain or inconvenience from their stoill-
acns Ii such personals would take,
with their meals, some preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the
food would be quickly digested and the
proper degree of plunpness very soon
secured, because these tablets are
prepared exactly for that purpose.
They will digest every variety of flesh
forming food, which is the sole reason
why they so quickly build up and
strengthen thin, dyspeptic men and
women.
Etuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dys-
pepsia and every form of indigestion
on this common sense plan. that they
digest food promptly, giving strength
to every nerve and organ of the body
while at the same time the stomach
has a chance to rest and recover it's
natural vigor. Nothing further is re-
quired TO cure any stomach trouble.
or to make thin, dyspeptic people
strong. plump and we'll.
This excellent preparation is manu-
featured by F. 4. Stuart Co. Marshall,
Mich, and sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package.

NO FAITH CURE
About Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
They Core Stomach Troubes and Indigestion, Anyway,
Whether Yoe Have Faith IN Them or Not

All physicians agree that the element
cure of disease.
Firm belief and confidence in a FAM
lily physician or the same confidence
and faith in a patent medicine have
produced remarkable cures i'll all ages.
This is especially true in nervous
troubles. and no field offers so prolific
a harvest for the quack and charlatan
as the diseases arising from weak or
rundown nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common of all
diseases. indigestion and stomach trou-
bles, which in turn cause nervous dis
eases, heart troubles, consumption and
loss of flesh, require something be-
sides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest YOUR food
for you, will not give you an appetite,
will not increase your flesh and
strengthen your nerves and heart, but
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
these things, because they are COM
posed OF the elements of digestion;
they contain the juices, acids and pep
tones necessary to the digestion and
assimilation of all wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food If placed in a jar or bottle i'll
water heated to SO degrees, and they
will do 1T much more effectively when
taken into the stomach after meals,
whether you have faith that they will
| or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves in the
only way that nature can do it, and
that is from plenty of wholesome food,

Darien Gazette: Col. Estill continues
to write up Georgia in good shape.
While working for votes he is at the
same time showing to the world what
a great state old Georgia is.
Douglas Breeze: The Breeze takes
no exceptions with a man who votes
for Terrell. or Query. They are both
good men, but we stick to Estill be-
cause he is the only South Georgia
candidate. and we said last year if a
South Georgia man was in the field
we would support him.
GAINESVILLE Gazette: Hon. Charles L.
Moses is being urged to become a
candidate for the Legislature from
Coweta county. He is an ex-congress-
man and would make useful member
of the Georgia Legisla ture.

editors seem determined to have their
share of the offices this year. Editor
Estill is a candidate for Governor, Ed
itor Stovall of the Savannah Press.

Editor Brinson, of cambridge, is also
in the race for representative as is

Editor George Bell, of the Wiregrass

the Worth County Local. is in the race
fer county treasurer, and Editor Caba-

the management of the states mater
ial interest. If the people will put him
at the head of the state government
her financial affairs will be brought out
of the hand to mouth and behind hand

RENEWAL OF THE DREIBUND.
italy Claims Paramount Influence
at TripOli.

London, March 2S.-The correspond
ent at Rome of the Pail Mall Gazette,
referring to the meeting at Venice be-
tween the German imperial chancellor,
Count Won Buelow, and the Italian
minister of foreign affairs, Signor
Prinetti, says:
They gave the last touches to the
renewal of the Dreibund. The most
important modification of the old
treaty, so far as Italy is concerned
relates to the Mediterranean, Italy
claiming that if she remains in the
triple alliance her political influence at
Tripoli must be recognized, and her
allies must bind themselves to help
her in the event of an attempt of any
other Power to seize it, such an at
tempt being considered a easus belli."
