GIFT OF FIFTY THOUSAND
Generou, Donation Made by John II. Con-
verse to Omaha Seminary.
MONEY GOES INTO THE ENDOWMENT FUND
Giver H. One of the ControIIins
Factors in the Baldwin Loco
motive works of
Philadelphia.

The Presbyterian Theological seminary
has Just received $4,000 as a gift from John
II. Converse one of the controlling factors
OF the Baldwin Locomotive works of Phila-
delphia. President Lowrey OF the seminary
informs The Bee the money will be de-
voted to the endowment fund.- which is yet
small.
Dr. Lowrey and his associates in the
faculty, as we'll as the trustees of the in
stitution, are elated over this generous do
nation. 1t comes as a New Year gift. 1t
is regarded as unusually large for a single
donation and will be of vast benefit, being
placed where 1t will do the most possible
good.
Mr.. Converse is one OF the most liberal
givers to Presbyterian institutions in the
country and is a staunch friend OF the
Omaha seminary.
This seminary last spring closed the most
successful year of its history and In Sep
TENDER begun a year whose outlook war
ranted the prediction of even greater re-
suits. 1t has total of some twenty stu
dents now, all of whom are making good
records in their class room as we'll as field
work-for 1t is fact these young men do
more work in churches in nearby places
throughout their seminary courses than do
the students of any other Presbyterian
seminary in the country, that is, proper
tionately," DR.. Lowrey says DIR. Lowrey
also says It is a fact that the demand for
student help in pulpits, particularly during
the vacations, is fully great as can be
accommodated by his seminary. He thinks
the demand for Presbyterian ministers
never was so urgent as at present. And
this is the testimony of presidents of other
seminaries and authorities In the church.

INTERESTING FACTS.
For Nearly Every Man, Woman or
Child,

short time ago we published an article
recommending to our readers the new dis
covery for the cure of Dyspepsia, called
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and the claim
then made regarding the wonderful cura-
tive properties of the remedy have been
abundantly sustained by the facts People
who were cautious about trying new reme-
dies advertised in the newspapers and were
finally induced to give Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets a trial were surprised and delighted
at the results. In many cases a single
package, costing but 90 cents at any drug
store, made a complete cure, and in every
instance the most beneficial results were
reported. From a hundred or more re-
ceived We have space to publish only a
few of the latest but assure our readers
we receive SO many commendory letters
that we shall publish each week a fresh
list Of genuine. unsolicited testimonials and
never publish the same one twice.
From James Yemmeisler, Lacrosse Wis (:
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are doing me
more good than anything l ever tried, and
/ was so pleased at the results that l gave
away several boxes to my friends, who
have had the same benefits.

Tablets with the best results. l had Dys-

From Mrs. NJ. x. West Preston, MINI :
