be repeated in the next few weeks.
The lowest temperature in March in
that time was on March 4, 1874, when

serted, fragrant inhumanity exists,
AID urging him on behalf of the
American people to use the moral sup
port of the United states governi u /
to correct the abuses the Congo natives
are alleged t. be suffering from.
Tlc COMMUNICATION is as follows:
over year has passed since the
rer' TT of the commissioners chosen
by the chief executive and virtual
owner Of the Congo Free state to in
vestigate conditions in that state, was
published. In spite of their natural
desire to give all possible credit to
their sovereign, the commissioners felt
constrained to report the existence of
measures ana practices of fragrant in
humanity. Among these measures
and practices are the following:
"One. The enactlon of a labor tax
81 oppressive that many natives on
whom 1t falls have little if any free
dem.
:.Two-Appropriatio of land to
such an extent thai the natives are
practically prisoners within their own
territory.
"Three-'The employment under the
authority Of the government as SEN

protection the government is avowedly

-Four. The abuse Of the natives by

Five. The binding of little call

wages by contracts they do not un-

der the immediate care of the govern
ment.

ministration of the courts, so that the
natives dread the name CT Bona the
place where the judicial system Is CEN

"Seven. The sending out Of punt
tive expeditions, not for the purpose
of establishing peace and order, but
for the, purpose OF terrifying the
| natives into paying a tax, which az ad.
ministered, even the commissioners
regard as inhuman.

DANGERS FROM DYSPEPSIA.
imperfect Digestion Most Prolific
canse of Serious Dlseaser

Few people seem to realize the real
dangers in disturbed, deficient or de-
fective digestion.
While health reports do not give in
digestion as q canse Of death. yet it is
in reality often fatal, as it so weakens
the stomach that one becomes readily
susceptible to an attack of typhoid
fever, kidney disease, nervous prostra-
ton or other serious or fatal disease.
At the first symptoms of indigestion,
Mi-o-na stomach tablets should be used.
If there is feeling of hea viness in the
stomach, distress after eating, nervous
ness, dizziness, nausea. headaches, Sleep
lessness, pains in the side and limbs,
specks before the eyes or a peevish, ir-
ritab1e condition, with debility and
weakness, begin the use of Mi-o-no at
once.
1t will build up the stomach and di-
gestive oagans so that you can eat any
thing at any time withot fear of di-
tress or indigestion
A so cent box of Mi-O-na tablets will
in most cases, give prompt relief and
cure, although in chronic and long
standing weakness of the stomach, two
boxes or mor5 are sometimes needed,
but Dodsons Drug Store guarantee
Mi-o-na will cure, in all cases, no
matter how chronic or serious, or
money Will be refunded. Yon run no
risk whatever in buying Mona.
