William Hobart Hare was born In
Princetown, New Jersey, on May 18th,
1888.
His grandfather was Bishop Hobart
of New York, and his father was the
Rev. George E. Hare, professor In the
Philadelphia Divinity school.
Bishop Hare was ordained deacon In

ed secretary and general agent Of the

The following year he was nominal
ed by the House of Bishops for the
Missionary Bishopric of Cape Palmas,

withdrawn on the representation Of
the lower house of the General Con-
v~ention that his services were inva u
able in the Office which he then held.
In 1872 he was elected Missionary
Bishop of Niobrara, that being tie
name given TO q district In Dakota

dian tribes. The election was accept
ed and the Bishop was consecrated In
st. Luke's church, Philadelphia, on
January 9th, 1873, being next in the
line of Bishops of his father-in-law,
Bishop Howe, of Central Pennsylvania.
In 1888 the boundaries of Bishop
Hare's Jurisdiction were changed so a.
to be identical with those OF the new
State of South Dakota, plus the Santee
Indian Reservation In Nebraska. As
the same time, the name of the dis
trict was changed from Niobrara to
South Dakota.
The Bishop Immediately made Sioux
Falls his See City, and there built his
Cathedral and All Saints school. In
1891, and again in 1892, Bishop ma e
visited Japan as the accredited repre-
sentative of this church.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITOL
By HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, March 20.-(Special) )-Men often realize the advantages of progress only when they serve to either make or save them money. This is illustrated just now by the service of the weather bu- reau in connection with the high waters In 1886 the loss in a flood little higher than the one just passing was enormous, cattle and stock generally being washed away or drowned. This time there was very little, practically none of this kind of trouble.
 "The weather bureau is worth all the other things the government maintains, the postoffice not excepted" said w. A. Henderson, large planter and father of Gray Henderson owner of one of the largest river farms in the county. Here tofore, I have lost hundreds of dollars in the overflows. This time neither l nor my son suffered, as the warnings sent out gave us ample time to get everything on high ground Section Director F. F. Chaf- fee is one of the most valuable men we have"

Harris was charged with stealing a pocketbook containing $11.56 in a crowd outside the tents when Ringlings' circus was here last fall. On the witness stand he swore that he picked it up on the ground and displayed it to the crowd ( around. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. but so impressed was the judge with the negro's statement Of his case that he has declared his inten- ton either to set the verdict aside or to impose very light sentence.

Third Time Since October Bass &

Anniston, March 20.-(Special. )-For the third time since October "A last Bass & Heard's store was burglarized Thurs day night and a lot of goods carried away The store was entered through a side door on the east side of the build ing by prizing off the casing to which the door was swung. This door was cut off from view by the building itself and was the most accessible for the purpose of burglary.
 Six or eight handsome suits of cloth ing of the w. s.

Watching a Stomach
 Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
 Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia.

The Abbe Spallanzani was the first scientist to study systematically the oh emical powers of the gastric juice, but 1t was by the careful and convinc- ing experiments of Beaumont that the foundation of our exact Knowledge of Its composition and action was laid.
 Beaumont was an army surgeon To- cated at an obscure military post in Michigan while 1t was yet terri tory, and was called upon to treat a gun shot wound of the stomach in a Canadian voyageur-Alexis St. Martin. When the wound healed a permanent opening was left by means of which food could be placed in the stomach and gastric juice taken from it.
 Beaumont made scientific experiments with his crude means and wrote book. which today Is recognized among the classics of physiology.
 Beaumont blazed the way for other scientists so that today medicine knows what the stomach does with food and what food does to the stomach.
 Science also knows what the gastric juices are and how to make them best for the system.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks to the poor army surgeon and Alexis St. Martin give man means of digestine- food, replenishing the exhausted juices. soothing the nerves and correcting dys- peptic conditions of the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat ural fruit and vegetable essences re- duced in concentrated form and by tre- mendous power compressed into a tab- let, These wonderful little digestors are known all over America and Can ada.
