FROM NEWSBOY
 TO HIGH OFFICE
Ex-coVERNoR BURKE OF NORTH DAKOTA VISITS NEGRO SCHOOL AT HUNTSVILLE AND RECIPES INCIDENTS OF HIS CAREER.

Huntsville. March 2S.-tspecial )-coI. Andrew H. Burke, ex-Governor of North Dakota visited the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Normal yesterday afternoon as the guest of President Coun- ell and delivered an address in which he related some of the history of his life.
 In the romance or history of American life there are few parallels to his career. He was a friendless newsboy selling pa- pers on the streets of New York when rescued by the Children's Aid Society and sent West with a group of boys similar ly situated, among whom was John G. Brady, now Governor of Alaska. A home was found on an Indiana farm for young Burke and he labored industrious ly until the outbreak of the civil war when he entered an Indiana regiment as drummer boy After the war he served in menial capacity in bank at Fargo, N. D., and eventually was electer Govern the bank. In 1891 he was elected Govern or of North Dakota and after serving one term was reelected without oppo- sition
 Governor Burke Is now inspector of United States land offices and is in this city in that official capacity.

When the stomach won't work the whole body suffers as every tissue or structure of the body depends on the stomach for nourishment and renewal.
 If the stomach is weak, inactive and unable to properly digest food 1t not only subjects the body to a state of chronic semi-starvation or habitually half-fed condition that weakens it and renders 1t less productive of accomplishment and less resistant to disease but it allows of the absorption of half -digested, rotting material that Is a positive poison to it and taxes the eliminative organs to ex- pei it from the body. Thus 1t will be seen that the inconvenience and distress, the disturbed rest the horrors of insom- mia, and the dreadful caprices of night mare, are the most insignificant part of indigestion and that real danger turks be- hind the condition.
 Few people seem to realize the dangers of weak, defective and disordered diges- tion. Health reports do not give it as cause of death because some other disease sets in to work destructive changes, only made possible by the imperfect digestion, and the death is accredited to them.
 There are many medicines on the mar ket intended to correct and improve per- vrted or impaired digestion but none are so Sa1e so ecOnOIHlcdi, SO CoHN Slllelll, So effective so satisfactory, so popular as are Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Whether the dyspepsia is of long standing or is only a case of temporary indigestion, they give prompt and pronounced relief. Their regular use for time will cure all forms of gastric insufficiency so that good digestion will wait on appetite and health on both.
 t By promoting perfect digestion all tis- sues and structures are better fed and take on healthfn activity. the blood be- comes rich, the flesh sound and firm, the nerves strong, the eyes bright the skin clear the mind alert and cheerful. and one begins to feel the lust of hfe-the Joy of mere living.
 Mir Thomas Scale Mayfield. Cal, says: Have used and recommended Stuart s Tablets because there is nothing like them to keep the stomach right"
 MT. E. H. Davis of Hampton, Va, says: "I doctored five years for dyspepsia, but in two months l got more benefit from Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets than in five years of the doctors treatment"

DESPITE THIS IRON MAKERS ARE STICKING TO SCHEDULE OF SIP PER TON FOR NO. 2 FoUN- DRY.

While there is a good deal of talk about an advance in the price of pig iron and while it is a fact that premiums consid- erably above regular quotations are be- ing paid for quick delivery the iron makers of this district are still sticking to the schedule on a basis of SIP for No foundry. The market is reported strong at quoted figures.
 The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com- panys yards were never more complete ly cleared up than now. It's make this month will reach about 27,000 tons.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S circular letter of Saturdays date reads, in part
 CinCinnati-The past week has developed nothing of especial importance, excepting that the scarcity of iron for early deliv- cry is more pronounced and consumers are willing to pay still higher premiums for spot iron. There have been rumors. apparently well authenticated, that the Southern interests, who have been en- deavoring to keep down prices to the basis of $12, Birmingham, for No. 2 foundry, have seen the hopelessness of their task and are now about to make an advance of $2 to s per ton. This, how ever, has been strenuously denied by their representatives. It evidently mat ters little, however to the consumer. for. as rule, they are more interested in what they have to pay for iron to be melted during the next six or eight months than the nominal price at which it can be purchased for delivery during the last quarter. Most buyers are of the opinion that it is beyond the power of any set of producers to keep prices eith- CT up or down when they try to do SC contrary to the law of supply and de mand. The business of the country is too great to be controlled by any com bination of producers now in existence

dyspepsia cure has worked wonders in my case. I suffered for years from dyspep- sia but am now entirely cured and enjoy life as I never have before. l gladly recommend them."
 Mrs. Lydia Bartram of Assyria, Mich, writes: "I have suffered from stomach trouble for ten years and five different doctors gave me only temporary relief. A MT. E. R. Page advised me to try Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets and four boxes did me more permanent benefit than all the doctors medicines that 1 have ever taken"
 Rev J. R. Hoag of wymore, Neb., writes: For six years I have been trou- bled with dyspepsia. Last fall I became very much alarmed at some symptoms of heart trouble and came to believe there was a sympathetic relation between the two diseases, or rather, that the stomach trouble was the cause of the heart dis- turbance I hit upon Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets for remedy and invested a dol- lar and a half for three boxes which lasted me three months and I can eat any kind of food I want and have a good vigorous appetite. Although I am v years old, I now feel perfectly well and without being. requested by anyone make this statement as a compliment to the virtues of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab- let's"
 Henry h1rkpatrlcR or Lawrence, nhdSS.S says: Men and women whose occupa- ton precludes an active outdoor life should make it a daily practice to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals. I have done so myself and I know posi- lively that I owe my present health and vigor to their daily use. From the time I was p when I graduated from school with broken health from overwork until l was 34. I scarcely knew what it was to be free from stomach weakness, l had no appetite whatever for breakfast and very little for any other meal. l had acidity and heartburn nearly every day and sometimes was alarmed by irregularity and palpitation of the heart, but all this gradually disappeared after began using Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and I can eat my meals with relish and satisfaction which I had not known since l was a growing boy"
 If your stomach won't work, try Stu- arts Dyspepsia Tablets and be convinced of their merits Al druggists sell them at BOG. a box Once use them and you will become their advocate and friend.
