MAJ. ROBERT ANDERSON POST.
Members Hear Memorial Sermon at
FIetcher-PIace Church.

At the Fletcher-place Church yesterday
morning the pastor, the Rev. Virgil w
Tevis, delivered the memorial sermon to
the members of the Major Robert Anderson
Post, G. A. r. In part DIR. Tevis said:
The custom of annually decorating
graves originated i'm Paris. There once a
year all the city turns out TO do honor TO
its dead. In this country a day has been
appointed in which 10 do reverence to the
departed heroes. 10 whose patriotism Is due

OF these gatherings Is primarily to honor
the memory of the dead soldier and TO in
culcate in the minds of the coming gener-
atlon those immortal principles for which
they fought. and which stand as the basis
OF secure government in all the ages of a
healthy republic.
The soldier represents the highest sacri-
fee. Some marched down 10 their final
resting places in the Southland: some left
the hues of health there. and some a limb.

women who stayed at home 10 weep and

these occasions sectional differences should
be forgotten. The Southern soldiers were
brave men, and you fought warriors when

Members OF John F. Ruckle Post @. A.
r., the Women's Relief Corps and the
Sons OF Veterans attended memorial serv-
ices at Broadway NJ. E. Church yesterday
morning. The Rev. Worth NJ Tippy gave
the address. In opening he traced the
causes that led up to the civil war He
then described its opening scenes and the
incidents of the conflict, the march, the
camp. the battlefield. the hospital and the
sorrow that filled the land The sermon
was largely a series Of pictures aiming to
bring back wildly what the soldiers passed
through.
In closing. Mr.. Tippy said. in brief: IT
suppose that to those who were at the
front and to those who were waiting at
home ii seemed that the war would never
end. For over four years IL dragged its
weary course. II left untold sorrow in

An interesting page in the civil war his
tory has been recalled by a courtroom in
cident in Chicago. An old man named
Felix G. Stidger. on trial in the United
States Court for technical violation of the
postal laws, pleaded guilty and threw him
self on the mercy of the court. The dis
trict attorney said the old man had rem
dered good service to the cause of the
Union at a critical time as a secret-service
agent employed to discover and expose the
secrets of the disloyal organization called
the knights of the Golden Circle" Fol-
lowing is a statement by Stidger:
was employed by the provost marshal
general of the district of Kentucky United
States army, TO learn the designs of a
reasonable organiZa ton i'm the Northern
States known as the Knights of the Golden
Circle, or Order of the Sons OF Liberty, of
which Clement Vallandigham, of Ohio then
residing In Canada. was the supreme head.
L succeeded to the extent of becoming
grand secretary of the order for the State
of Kentucky and the most confidential
man that the officials then held conference
with. They even revealed TO me the exact
details of the assembling of members of
the order on Aug. Is. 1864. for the purpose
Of liberating the rebel prisoners at Indian
apolis, Chicago. Rock Island, Johnson's
island and Louisville
Every move contemplated by the traitors
L tully reported TO the commanding officer
of the United States forces in Louisville
and TO General Darlington and Governor
Morton. in indianapolis. daily, often hour
-. In this service Secretary of War Stan
ton, in an official communication stated
that my help had been worth as much to
him as any battle that had been fought
during the war.
Stidger said his life had been threatened
and that he had been an exile from his
home in Kentucky for thirty-efght years.
His Statement is probably true in the main.
General Carrington's report 10 Governor
Morton exposing the secret organization
referred TO. dated June IS, 1864. showed that
he had secret sources of information, and
a report of the United States grand Jury
in May. 1852. stated that the organization
was introduced into this State from Ken
lucky" In October. 1864. Judge Advocate
General Holt made an exhaustive report
on the organization and objects Of the or
der. in which he said: THE temples or
lodges, of the order are numerously scat
tered through the States Of Indiana. uu-
nois. Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky" Judge
KOhlsaat evidently believed Stidgers state
ment for he suspended a fine which had
been imposed on him.

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER,
He Cured Himself of Serious stom-
ach Trouble, by Getting Down
to First Principles.

to First Principles.
A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent Eastern cities by too close
attention to business. too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan to pay natures tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability making it i'm
nossible to apply himself to his daily
business and finally deranging the kid
news and heart.
In his own words he says: 81 con-
shifted one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my
case but all the same they each failed
10 bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and Yigor. For two
years / went from .pillaS % post, from
one sanitarium to another, gave up
smoking, i quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two of
beer. but without any marked i'm
provement.
"Friends had often advised me to
try we'll known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and | had
often perused the newspaper adver-
tisements of the remedy but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe fifty-cent patent medi-
cine could touch my case.
ITO make long story short, I finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and oc-
casionally a tablet between meals,
when I felt any feeling of nausea or
discomfort.
81 was surprised at the end of the
first week TO note marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the TWO packages We're gone
| was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was going to cure completely,
and they did not disappoint me. 1 can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar and no one would suppose had
ever known the horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity l wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
for information as to what the tablets
contained, and they replied that the
principal ingredients We're aseptic
pepsin government test), malt dias-
tase and other natural digestives, which
digest food regardless of the condition
of the stomach"
The root of the matter is this, the d.
gestive elements contained in Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food
give the overworked stomach a chance
10 IeCupel dCe anu tHc nerves anu Whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food; stimulants
and nerve tonicS never give real
strength, they give a fictitious strength
invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop of blood, every nerve and tissue
is manufactured from our daily food
and if you can insure its prompt
action and complete digestion by the
regular use of so good and wholesome
a remedy as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's you will have no need of nerve
tonics and sapitariums
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years yet probably every druggist in
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and considers
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach
