Ebert Hubbard,

The careful observer and reader of cur
rent American literature must have no
ticed in his meanderings among the book
stores. little bits Of magazines published
monthly and sold for 10 cents. They are
bought by the initiated ones. the elite of
readers, the Brahmins of American
thought. who enjoy these choice morsels,
dished up in doses homeopathically by
earnest writer's. close students of human
nature and conditions.
They were many-ihere are few left.
Among these publications there is one
that has withstood ihe brunt of time and
competition, and this is the Philistine.
Those that know the Pnilistine know Ell
bert Hubbard as its publisher and editor.
but only a few in this part of The coun-
try know him personally. Hubbard is a
personality. a character. one of those men
whose mission it is den understand der
sproeden welt zu brechen."
Mrs. Carter, with her usual enterprise,
gives us a chance To listen to this mans
utterances December IS in The Crawford
opera house and all who would like TO
get acquainted with one of America s
foremost writers and thinkers should not
miss this opportunity TO hear him.
These lines are not penned as an adver-
tisement Ebert Hubbard needs no adj
vertising. II is a thankful expression of
a man to whom his writings have been 4
real pleasure many times.

A REED SHAKEN: !srsets
WITH THE WIND
Without Will Power, Courage, Ambi-
ton, Energy or Hope, the Dys-
peptic Is Willing to Give up


| tHC SAi6S9iCs
The confirmed dyspeptic has as little in
| terest In life as any human being He is
| untitled for its duties and is ind fferent to
| its charms. He is unable to enjoy the
business ard social relations that cons:i-
| tute the life of the average man. All his
hopes are absorbed by the one hope to get
well and again be able TO enjoy the good
things <of life. Until this is realized
| he is sick at heart and feels himself to be
of little use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia, Tablets are the suf-
terers tree of life. They VIII cure him
and bring him health and happiness just
as sure and certain as he takes them.
They are sure because they are natural
and no other cure but natural one is
sure. They act on the food and digest it
just as well as a stomach would. They
contain exactly the same chemical prop
critics as the digestive fluids of the
stomach.
By putting Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
in a bottle or jar with any kind of food !:
meat, eggs or vegetables, with sufficient
amount Of water, the process of digestion
is carried out just as it is in a healthy
human stomach and in the same time.
There is consequently no unnatural dis
turbance of the digestive organs resulting
from the use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. They relieve the weak and wornout
stomach of its work and permit it to rest
up and recuperate and regain its normal
health and strength.
A well-known Buffalo physician says:
Il prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
IN al eli iaf 20 10, a1
and rundown stomachs. l find they con-
tain all the ingredients necessary for the
proper digestion of the food and will do
more to give the stomach the needed rest
than any medicine l could prescribe. They
have never failed to give immediate re-
lief in all my cases and do not hesitate
to recommend them 10 all sufferers from
dyspepsia"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at 50 cents box

TROUBLE IS OVER
Orders Affecting South
 Atlantic Squadron
Changed on Account of Report of a Better Condition in Certain Chill can Ports.

Washington, D. C., June 9.-The ex- planation given at the state depart ment for the sudden change of plans regarding the South Atlantic squadron is in substance that the department for some time past has been receiving advices from various sources indicat- ing the existence of a serious situa- tion in the Chilean seaport towns ow- ing to a formidable strike of dock la borers. severe rioting and destruction of property.
 The navy department was advised of this situation and an intimation was given that the presence of the Amer ican warships at the scene of trouble would be prudent. When the depart ment decided to send the South At lantic squadron from Montevideo the emergency had ceased 10 exist.
 Minister Wilson by cable reported that the Chilean government had the situation well in hand. This was re- ceived after orders had gone to the South Atlantic squadron, so it was necessary to cancel them which Secre- tary Moody did today.

THE COMMERCIAL WORLD
Through Professional Influence
 Stocks Are in Better Condition.

New York, June 9.-Today's stock market went through an extraordinary process of fluctuations, closing at the lowest average of the past month and in semi -demoralized condition. This was after prices rallied to about last nights level. St. Paul rose. 21sc over last night, Missouri Pacific 1Ac, New York Central 1Rc, and Pennsylvania. Union Pacific, Atchison and Wabash preferred about a point. There were important exceptions also among in dustrials. and the market as a whole was substantial fraction above last nights close.
 Large buying on the advance gave the rally more impressive appearance than anything that occurred during the present decline and the conviction Of the room traders seems fairly unani- nous that the market has turned up wards. at least temporarily. The re- suit was due in part to large operations by the professional clique. which plan ned a demonstration on the assump- ton that the short interest in the mar ket might reach unwieldy proportions.
 There were evidences of alarm among the bears and large buying de- Veloped to cover shorts. The demon- stration was aided by the published opinions of some important leaders ili the financial world that many stocks at their present level were selling be- low their intrinsic value. IL has been evident for several days that there was an absorption of an influential charac- ter in several points on the list. notably St. Paul, pannsylVania, New York Gen. tral ard a few other leaders.

THAT'S THE TIME When Proper Food Is Necessary.

Proper food is never more necessary than when recovering from wasting sickness when over-eating would be fatal and yet the body needs nourish- ment and plenty of il.
 At this time the condensed food Grape Nuts is shown to be ones most powerful friend. Four teaspoonfuls of Grape Nuts and cream will sustain a healthy man for half a day and a less quantity in warm milk will build up the convalescent wonderfully. No stom- ach is too weak to digest and relish Grape Nuts. II was taken sick with typhoid fever and everyone who has had this disease knows how weak and lifeless a person feels when beginning to recuperate.
 "I had to be very careful about my diet and could eat only very light foods. These did not seem to nourish me and instead of getting better every day was just at a standstin and everyone began to fear a relapse. One day while lying in bed very much discouraged my sister who was reading to me from the paper read an article about Grape Nuts and we decided to send for a package.
 From the very first meal of Grape Nuts I began to improve, strength came in bounds and leaps with the result that was soon out of bed; my change for the better seemed simply marvellous. My mind is clear and strong and my body sturdy. I am now entirely recov- cred" Names given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

THE GRAIN TRADE.

Chicago June 9.-There was quite d general trade in wheat at the opening today, principally by commission hous- es, due to improvement in weather and cables, which were firm. July opened unchanged to 1sc lower at 75h675zc. There was little feature in the early trading. A general fear seemed to be that the government report would show more favorable conditions than exist ed. A better feeling showed during the latter part of the session. The close was firm. with July t5c higher at 75%c c, the top figure of the day.
 Generally favorable weather condi- tions brought out considerable selling pressure In corn at the start, the open ing prices being easier. There was fair demand from commission houses throughout the day, which prevented any serious decline, and late in the ses- sion, on added demand. the market be- came firmer. After selling between 47Is @4S1sc. July closed Ac higher at 4Ssc Trading in provisions exceedingly dull, without any features.
