MiIlionaire's Poor Stomach

The worn out stomach of the over fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession Of great
wealth. But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the tOilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestion are rampant among these people
and they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of standard medicine like
Green's August Flower, which has been
a favOrite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over thirty-five
years August Flower rouses the torpid
liver, thus creating appitite and insur-
ing perfect digestion. 1t tones and Wit
alizes the entire system and makes life
worth living, no matter what your sta
ton. Trial bottles, 25c; regular size,
75c. At all druggists.

FRANCE BECOMES IMPATIENT
Venezuelan Situation is Said Not to
Permit of an Indefinite
Delay.

PARIS, Oct 13-National quarters here
show growing impotence at President Cas-
tro's failure thus far to withdraw his Of
fensive action toward NJ. Tagny, the
French charge d'affaires at Caracas.
Although no definite determination has
been reached, limitations are made that
the situation may not permit of indefinite
delay as President Castro's action, amount
ing to a refusal to withdraw his offensive
action, may lead French public opinion to
require the, government to adopt more de-
cisive measures to redress the offense.
The Patrie today published a dispatch
from Lorient saying that the French
cruiser Chasseloup-Laubat, which has re-
turned there from Newfoundland, will not
be disarmed as was intended las 1t will
make part of a naval division which is
going to be formed for the purpose of max
ing a demonstration in Venezuelan waters.
The cruiser has just completed speed trials
showing that it can steam 10 knots"
The foregoing is not confirmed in official
quarters here. but seems to accord with
the growing feeling of impotence among
| the officials and there are limitations that
decisive action will not long be deferred

Half Century at Fort Pierre.

FORT PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 19.-(Special.)-
On the 18th of next month Louis LaPlant
will have been resident of Fort Pierre just
half a century. AS a young fur trader he
walked from Sioux City to the trading sta
ton at Fort Pierre, and has resided at or
near that place since that time, and has
always been active in the affairs of that
section. When Mr.. LaPlant came to Fort
Pierre all west of the Missouri river was
portion of Wyoming and the east bank of
the river was the western boundary of Min
nesota. At that time this section of the
country was the home of Indians and buff
falo, and while the development has been
retarded for years on account of lack of
railroad facilities Mr.. LaPlant has lived to
see wonderful development, and as he is
hale and hearty he will no doubt yet see
greater changes in the next few years.
