Washington, Feb. 11.-Mr. Hanna to- day called up the conference report on the department of commerce bill, which provides for the publicity of trusts and 1t was agreed to without debate. The bill now goes to the president
 MT. Morgan almost immediately after the opening of the session resumed his remarks on the statehood bill, but branched off on the subject of the pro- posed treaty with Colombia. He re- ferred to the concordat of Pope Plus TX, which constituted a part of the organic law of Colombia, and said that the United States intended to put the heel of ignominious contempt upon it. He predicted return of the hostilities between the old church party in Co., lombia and the liberal party.
 MT. Depew spoke in opposition of the state bill. He did not conclude his speech.

TYPHOID FEVER AT CORNELL
Statement by President SchuTman-
 Many Students Sent Home.

Ithaca, N. T., Feb. 11.-President Schurman addressed the students of Cornell university to-day upon the ty- phoid fever epidemic now raging in Ithaca. He gave out that among the students there were to-day sixty-two cases receiving treatment in Ithaca, of which only seven were considered sert- ous, while between 150 and 200 students have been sent to their homes by phy- sicians upon the appearance of fever symptoms. The last tweny-four hours shows a marked decrease in the num- Der of new cases, and it is hoped that the epidemic is now under control.

Y4LE.HARVARD CHALLENGE
WILLING TO MEET CAMBRIDGE
 OXFORD TEAM.
Doubtful If English Untverslties Can Accept as Such Would Involve a Re. turn Challenge Which They Cannot AfTord-TheIr Last Venture fla This Country a Financial Failure.

London, Feb. 11.-Some unofficial cor respondence has been exchanged be- tween Oxford and Cambridge universi- ties and Harvard and Yale indicating a willingness on the part of the Ameri- can universities to challenge the Eng lishmen to an athletic meeting. No formal challenge, however, has yet been received, and it is doubtful if the Eng fish universities could accept. Their reason for non-acceptance would be en- tirely financial one. Acceptance of the challenge would involve a return challenge in 1904, and the English uni versailles have no funds to defray the cost of a visit to the United States. Their last trip to America was only carried through by insuring against loss at Lloyds, It is unlikely that they could repeat this operation, as Lloyds lost over $9,5O0 on the previous occa- sion.

IS YOUR STOMACH ON A STRIKE?
There b Nothing to Prevent You Employing
Substitute to Do Its Work

There is such a thing as Torbear-
ance eeasiHg to be a virtue even in the
case of ones stomach. There is no
question but that some stomachs Will
stand great deal more wear and
tear and abuse than others, but they
al. have their limit and when that
limit is reached, the stomach must ba
reckoned with as sure as fate. The
best way and really the only effective
way to treat your stomach when, it
rebels is to employ a substitute to do
its work. This will give the weakened
and worn-ont organ an Oppe -tunity to
rest and regain it's strength and
health.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets relieve
the stomach OF its work by taking up
the work and doing it just as one set
or shift of worlImen relieves another.
They actually digest the food in just
the same manner and just the same
time as the digestive fluids of sound
stomach do. In fact, when dissolved
in the stomach, they are digestive
fluids for they contain exactly the
same constituents and elements as the
gastric juice and other digestive fluids
OF the stomach. No matter what the
condition of the stomach is, their work
is just the same. They work in their
own natural way without regard to
surrounding conditions.
The stomach being thus relieved by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored
and renewed by Nature and the rest
of the human body does not suffer in
the least by reason of its failure to
perform it's work.
A Wisconsin man says: q suffered
the pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years.

sale by all druggists at soc box. The
druggist never fails to have them in
stock because the demand for them is
SO great and so pronounced that he
cannot afford to be without them Peo-
pie who could not get them of one
druggist would go to another and
would get in the habit of buying their
other drugs there as well as their

Editor Independent: Following out
the spirit OF the Denver conference,
Chairman A. P. Hanna of the peoples
party state central committee of Ind
lana issued a call few weeks since
Tor conference, inviting the middle
of-the-roaders, silver republicans and
any others who desired independent
political action along populist lines to
attend. The meeting was held Septem-
Der "a at the Occidental hotel, Ind
ianapolis, representative populists
from all parts of the state being pres
ent, together with leading silver re-
publicans and Chicago platform demo-
c,ats.
The meeting was harmonious and
peryaded by the old time spirit OF
brotherhood All recognized that the
time me was opportnne for again taking
mp the work of the peoples party and
pushing it vigorously along. One and
al expressed belief that further affilia-

abortive, and that by inaugurating in
dependent action now the 10000 pop
ulist voters who went to the democracy

Kansas Populists

The Kansas Commoner, Wichita
says that Major A. Nj. Harvey was
named by the populist conference to
represent Kansas on the national re-
organization committee. The confer
epce also declares against fusion with
the democrats next year
When the question of fusion came up
there was considerable difference OF
opinion. Some of those present want
ed to invite the democrats to aid in
the fight in Kansas next year. Others
wanted to pass resolution refusing
any aid from tha democrats. Major
Harvey, who was chairman of the
conference, steered it between the two
opposite propositions, but the general
sentiment was against fusion with the
democrats next year and in favor Of a
straight populist ticket.

call. He spoke at some length. The
substance OF his remarks was that
fusion had run it's course and was a
thing of the past; that the democratic
party was again under control of the
Cleveland element and that the ac-
ton OF Bryan in relation to the Iowa
democratic convention which turned
down the Kansas City platform and
his supporting Clarke, the Palmer
Buckner gold democrat, who was re-
Gently nominated by the Ohio demo-
Gratis for United States senator led him
to the conclusion that he BRYAN
would either support the reorganized
democracy or sulk. Right here it may
be well to say that Mr.. Edgerton is
and for many years has been a per-
sonal friend of Bryan, and at ST. Louis
was made secretary of the populist
national committee to represent the
interests of Mr.. Bryan. He at that
time resided in Lincoln. Mr.. Edger-
ton stated in his talk to the conven-
tion that while he thus had no hope of
Bryan standing by his principles to
the extent of leaving his party, he
had information that some prominent
and influential Bryan democrats.
whose names he was not at liberty to
disclose, would bolt the party and act
with the peoples or new party. He
read quite lengthy letter from an
Ohio democrat severely criticising the
action of the Ohio convention in the
nomination of Clarke, the gold DEM
ocrat, and virtually promising to join
the peoples party in the event the
gold bugs won out in the democratic
national convention. Mr.. Edgerton
