SAYS COMMUNICATION
WITH MARS is POSSIBLE e

Boston. April 19.-If mankind cares
enough about it TO put out about $10.-
100000 there is no very good reason
why the human race should not be
able to talk with Mars-and that so
soon as next July-according to Pro.
fessor William Henry Pickering. Har-
ward university's celebrated astrono-
mer.
Communication with the Martians
will be made possible. Professor Pick
ering declares. by adopting his meth
cd of flashing messages, when Mars
approaches the earth to within 35,O00,-
900 miles, OF, about 100000 miles
nearer than ever before.
Professor Pickering's plan >contem-
plates the use of series Of mirrors
presenting single reflecting surface
turned toward Mars and occupying
more than quarter of mile of sur
face.
"Supposing," he says. with such a
signal In operation we began series
of flashes. cutting off the suns rays
for an instant and then throwing on
the reflection again. repeating this at
irregular intervals, forwarding. say,
the telegraph code OF dots and dashes,
! have no doubt, that, providing there
were intelligent people on Mars, the
light would at once attract attention
and would lead eventually to an an.
swering signal. II we received such
an answer. it would be comparatively
easy matter to establish code and
transmit messages"

ADMIRAL EVANS CONTENDS
FOR A LARGER NAVY

American war, or such portions Of it
as came directly under his notice as
commander OF the battleship Iowa,
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans men,
toned the sinking Of the Merrimac In
Santiago harbor saying that he never
knew just why Admiral Sampson had
selected Lieutenant Hobson to COM
mand that expedition "unless 1t was
that Admiral Sampson thought he
could spare him better than any other
officer OF the fleet"
Admiral Evans recounted an incl
dent on the Iowa when the heavy bat
tie hatch was picked up by cable
and carried above his head 1t was
shaken loose. and fell, striking Evans
on the shoulder and dislocatng the
joint.
Contrary to my reputation" said
the Admiral, Il had not taken drink
In five years. but when l regained
consciousness. the doctor was standing
over ME with glass full OF fine
French brandy. | drank 1t and whom
he asked me how I felt, II replied that
/ felt like gentleman. for the first
time In ave years"
In closing his remarks. Admiral
Evans besought his hearers to work
for a larger navy. He said that both
coasts must be protected by battle
ship fleets as 1t would be impossible
to bring a feet through the Panama
canal, because a hostile feet could
wait for them and sink them one at
time as they appeared, since they
could not come In battle line.

A LIBERAL OFFER
The T. II, Carr Drug Co., Guarantee to
Cure Dyspepsia. II They Fail,
The Medicine Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the peo-
pie of Ogden that indigestion and dys-
pepsia is durable and that Rexall Dys-
we will furnish the medicine absolute
ly free IL 1t fails to give complete sat
isfaction to anyone giving II trial.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to the
new and successful method of manu-
facture, whereby the well-known prop
critics of Bismuth. Subnitrate and Pep
sin have been combined with carmina-
tives and their agents,
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
recognized by the entire medical pro-
fession as specifics for acute indiges-
ton and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used In Rexall DyBpep-
sia Tablets is manufactured by new
process which develops its greatest
efficiency. Pcpsin supplies to the d.
gestive apparatus one OF the most im
porfant elements of the digestive fluid.
and exerts tonic influence upon all
the glands which supply all the other
elements necessary to proper assimi-
lation and digestion.
The carminatives add properties
which promptly relieve the disturb
ances and pain caused by undigested
food.
The perfect combination OF these
ingredients make remedy absolutely
incompatible and invaluable for the
complete cure OF indigestion and dys-
pepsia-
We are so positively certain OF this
that we sell Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
on our own personal guarantee that
they will either cure you or cost you
nothing. Three sizes, 25c, 46c and SEC.

old man? We cannot negotiate so
long as you come without that head2"
This deputation. consisting OF thir-

orders to have them shot immediate

command Of Niasi Pasha, proceeded
last night TO Kutchuk and Tchek-

await the coming OF reinforcements
They will then embark on vessels, and
avoiding Constantinople, march direct
to Yildiz Kiosk Many officers have
deserted their commands and joined

day to Kutchuk and Tchekmedje, o.
