ALGER DEFEATS FERRY,
Endorsed by Michigan Republican
Convention for Senator.


Convention for Senator.
A dispatch from Grand Rapids, Mich
yesterday says: After a long and laborious
session. in which more oratory and enthu-
siastic partisan strife were in evidence than
have been seen in the councils Of the re-
publican party in this state for many years
the republican state convention today in
dorsed the senatorial candidacy of Gen.
Russell A. Alger. former Secretary of War;
and nominated Judge William L. Carpen-
ter Of Detroit for justice of the supreme
court to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Justice Charles D. Long
Gen. Ayers friends won a great victory
over the supporters of Dexter M. Ferry of
Detroit. the test of strength having been
made on a motion to adopt the minority
recommendation Of the committee on reso-
lutions. to the effect that no expression Of
sentiment of the convention on the sena-
torial candidacy of any one be taken. The
state central committee had voted against
the senatorial resolutions, but the battle
Waged fiercely all morning. being taken into
the district caucuses. Gen. Alger was here
to direct his forces in person.
When the convention assembled at IL
o clock the delegates were badly split on
the resolution question. Neither side scored
in the preliminary business, which occupied
lutions being divided. This left the issue to
be fought out on the floor of the convention
this afternoon.
The test vote by roll call of counties
rejected the minority report by a vote of
427 yeas and 58S nays. The majority re-
port, which Endorsed Gen. Alger was then
adopted without an opposing vote amid loud
and continued cheering from the Alger sup
porters.
At the opening session of the convention
this morning Congressman Hamilton of
Niles, temporary chairman, made an ad-
dress. speaking chiefly of the tariff and
trusts along the lines similar to those of
President Rooseyelt's speeches He pre-
dicted that reciprocity arrangement be.
tween this country and Cuba will be per
fected by the Fifty-seventh Congress.
At the afternoon session the report of the
resolutions committee eulogized the late
Snator Mcmillan and Justice Long and
commended the state and national admins
trations. This portion Of the report was
unanimously adopted.
The struggle, Of the Alger and Ferry
forces followed over the majority and mi
nority report on the matter of indorsing
Gen. Alger for United States senator.
Gen. H. M. Duffleld OF Detroit nominated
Judge Carpenter for supreme court justice.
Judge Sheppard of Bay City was also pre-
scented as candidate. but later his name
was withdrawn and Judge Carpenter was
made the unanimous choice.

The Root of the Matter.
HE CURED HIMSELF OF SERIOUS STOMACH
TROUBLE, BY GETTING DOWN TO
FIRST Principles

man OF large affairs In OF our prominent
eastern cities by too close attention to business,
too little exercise and too many club dinners,
finally began to pay natures tax, levied in the
form OF chronic stomach trouble the failure OF his
digestion brought about irritabiiIty, max
ing 1t impossible to apply himself to his daily
business aud finally derangng the kidneys and
heart.
In his words he says: 81 consulted one
physician after another and each one seemed 10
understand my case, but all the they each
failed to bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and vgor. For two years
went from pillar to post from one sanitariun 10
another; | gave up smoking. quit coffee and even
renowned my daily glass or two OF beer but
without ny marked improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try we'll
known proprietary medicine, Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, and | had often pertised the newspaper
advertisements OF the remedy, but never took any
stock in advertised medicines nor could believe
a fifty-cent patent medicine would touch my case.
ITO make d long story short, finally bought
couple of packages at the nearest drug store and
took two three tablets after each meal and coca
soually a tablet between meals. when 1 felt any
feeling OF discomfort.
II was surprised at the end Of the first week to
note marked improvement In my appetite and
general health and before the two packages were
gone I certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
going to cure completely. and they did not dis
appoint mn. l can eat and sleep and enjoy my
coffee and cigar and one would suppose had
ever known the horrors OF dyspepsia.
: ''Out of friendly curiosity / wrote to the pro-
prietors 4 the remedy, asking for information as
TO what the tablets contained, and they replied
that the principal ingredients were aseptic pepsin
government test, malt diastase and other natural
digestives. which digest food regardless OF the
condition OF the stomach"
The root Of the matter is this the digestive
elements contained in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
win digest the food, give the overworked stomach
chance to recuperate and the nerves and whole
kystem -eceive the nourshment which can only
Come from food Stmulants and nerve tonics never
give real strength they give fictitious strength,
Invariably followed by reaction. Every drop OF
blood every nerve and tissue Is manufactured
Prom daily food, and II you can insure its
prompt action and complete digestion by the regu-
lar use Of so good and wholesome a remedy as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. you will have no need
OF nerve toncs and sanitariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
In the market only few years, yet probably
every druggist In the United States. Canada ana
Great Britain now sells them and considers them
the most popular and successful Of any prepara-
tIon for stun ach trouble. seZ4~@o

LAST YBAR GOOD
FOR OPERATORS
Increase in Production Of
S,GSS,G3S Tons
Report Of J. /. ROdPrick, Chief Of
The Bureau Of Mines and Mining,
Is Interesting

Hazleton. Pa, July 10-The report of
James E. Roderiek. chief of the state
bureau of mines and mining. for 1901.
made public last night says the occu-
patton of the miner and his laborer is
extra hazardous" consequently they
should be especially well paid for their
laborious and dangerous calling. The
past year was the most prosperous for
all concerned in the mining of coal Of
any year for the last quarter of n CEN
tury. The coal, the report says, was
in great demand and brought a fair
price which enabled the operators TO
pay their employees fair wages and to
give them more steady employment
than was the case for a number of
years
The production of hard coal was So
905,95l tons an increase of S.6SS. .G33
over 1900. The bituminous mines pro-
duced s0,914,2S6 tons, an increase OF
1,595.S74. The average number Of days
worked in the anthracite fields was
194.5. an increase of 23.5 over the pre-
vious year. In the production Of an
thracite 513 persons lost their lives. an
increase Of 108. There were 3O1 fatali-
ties in the bituminous mines, an in
crease of 80.
Mr.. Roderick suggests that some
thing be done to relieve the distress re-
sulting annually in the coal fields by
reason Of the large number of fatali-
ties, leaving many families destitute
He expresses himself as greatly i'm
pressed with the need of an institution
where the young men crippled in the
mines can be educated and trained il
suitable occupations that will enabl,
them to earn a respectable living.

prisoners in the Buchanan county Jail.
yesterday afternoon wrecked the rear
wall of the Jail building with pow
erful charge of dynamite. Allen, Blade
and Murray then made a fierce fight
for liberty. but the guards were too
quick for them and beat them back
with Winchesters. There are IS pris-
oners confined in the Jail, but many
of them made no effort to escape. and
those who were nervy enough to try to
follow Blade and his companions were
clubbed into submission AS If by a
miracle, no one was injured. although
the explosion was felt for several
blocks away, and every window in the
court house on the side next to the
Jail was shattered. Blade and Allen
are under sentence for highway robbery
and Murray is a government prisoner.
They are now chained to the floors OF
their cells.
Other prisoners were apprised of what
was to happen about five minutes be-
fore the fuse was lighted, and on advice
of the leaders Of the plot they sought
safety in their cells just before the ex-
plosion occurred. The jailer was at
dinner in another part of the building.
Until the demage to the Jail and court
house can be repaired, a large armed
guard will be necessary to restrain the
prisoners.
