CATARRH OF THE STOM-
ACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Ef.
fectual Cure for It.
COSTS NOTHING TO Try.


Catarrh of the stomach has Ions
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eat
ing. accompanied sometimes with
sour or watery risings, a formation of
gases, causing pressure on the heart
and lungs and difficult breathing,
headaches. tickle appetite, nervous
ness and general played out, Ian
guild feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter-
Tor of the stomach could be seen 1t
would show Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure of this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treat
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has time to ferment and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal diges-
ton is secured the catarrhal condi-
ton will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal tablet, composed
of Diastase Aseptic Pepsin. a little
Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not
being patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite and thorough
digestion will follow their regular use
after meals.
The plan of dieting is simply anoth
er name for starvation and the use
of prepared foods and new tangled
breakfast foods simply makes mat
ters worse as any dyspeptic who has
tried them knows
As DR.. Bennett says, the only rea-
son l can imagine why Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are not universally
used by everybody who is troubled in
any way with poor digestion, is be-
cause many people seem to think that
because medicine is advertised or
is sold in drug stores or is protected
by trademark it must be humbug,
whereas, as matter of truth, any
druggist who is observant knows that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have cured
more people of catarrh of the stom-
ach, Indigestion, heartburn, heart
trouble. nervous prostration and run
down condition generally, than all the
patent medicines and doctors pre-
scriptions for stomach trouble COM
bined.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of Indigestion, catarrh of
the stomach, biliousness, sour stom-
ach, heartburn and bloating after
meals.

ON WAY TO ST. PAUL
Was In keokuk for Few Minutes En-
route North-There viii be no
Steamboat War Next
Year He Says.

Captain D. Walter Wisherd, traffic
manager of the Streckfus steamboat
line, came north from st. Louis this
week on business in connection with
the line He was in Keokuk for few
minutes. enroute to St. Paul
Wisherd confirmed the report that
the Streckfus line had given UP the
idea of operating one or more pack
cts in the through service from St
Louis to New Orleans this winter.
One packet made three round trips
with total loss of nearly $4,000
he said and that much in sixty days
was enough to convince the COM
pany that the promises OF support
and patronage were nothing more
than hot air. St Louis manufac-
turers did their part. At any rate
most of them sent all the freight they
could by water, but a big part had
to be handled by the Lee boats.
Wishard said there was no pros
pect of trouble with the Lee people
and no foundation whatever for the
report about steamboat war next
year. The two companies had a
traffic agreement, he said, which pro-
vided that the Streckfus company
was to handle all the through traf-
fic to points below yicksburg, while
the Lee company was to get the local
traffic between st. Louis and Vicks-
burg. The Streckfus company was
after the through business and bid
for local patronage between yicks-
burg and New Orleans only. Had 1t
been possible to go after everything
and anything in sight, local or
through business, the result might
have been very different. But the
Lee people were there first and while
not running boats in the through
trade they had first claim on the
local traffic from ST. Louis to Mem
phis and Memphis to Vicksburg.
Wisherd said it was understood ne-
tween the two companies which one
was to handle each Of the two classes
of traffic. The Streckfus people
turned over the local business they
received to the Lee people and the
latter evened UP by giving the Streck.
IT'S line any through business they
may have obtained An even ex
chsnEe they figured when the agree
ment was made but it afterward;
developed there was not to BIZ
enough through business to keep
cruising launch busy, let alone {
big packet. On the last trip from
New Orleans, the steamer Quinc!
had only seven passengers.
Last Wednesday, the steamer Du
buque left St Louis with the st
Paul in tow, bound for Paducai
where now the Streckfus boats ar
lined up at the bank the w. W. an,
barge, Sidney, Dubuque, St. Pau
and Quincy. They probably will re
main there for the winter although
the plan of taking them north to b.
wintered in Quincy bay was original
ly favored. The expense, it is said
would be greater than such a NOV,
will justify, unless there should de
velope the necessity for change o
location or a good reason such al
better accommodations or less ex
pense for anchorage privileges ane
care would make it worth while.

Was Gordon's long drive down
the first base line fair or foul?
The answer to this question will
decide whether Tacoma should be
penalized with yesterdays game
with Spokane, perhaps draw a
5000 fine, and has already direct
ed 500 fine at Mike Lynch per-
sonally.
And it's likely to stir up the
biggest fight yet in Northwestern
league circles.
Portus Baxter, acting president
OF the league, has apparently al
ready decided against Tacoma
and criticises the Tiger captain
bitterly.
President Lindsay will do what
ever Dugdale and Baxter say.
II the league heads agree to
SOAK" Tacoma George Shredder
will very likely take the warpath.
The Seattle men who are al
ready ''sore on. the Tacoma
management, are ehuckling over
: this chance to get square. It's
likely to cause an explosion that
won't be forgotten soon.
The facts: The score was 10
In Spokane's favor at the begin
ming of the fifth. With two men
on and none out, Gordon hit a
beautiful drive down the right
Held line. Both the United Press
and the Associated Press dis
patches say that the majority of
Spokane fans who were in line
with the ball called 1t fair.
Umpire Mccarthy was. umpiring
from behind the pitcher. He ex-
planned afterward that he didn t
know whether 1t was fair or foul,
but that he had an agreement with
the catchers to help him on close
decisions.
spokesman, of course, said 1t was
foul. Mccarthy accepted his opin-
lon. Mike protested and took his
team off the field. and Mccarthy
awarded the game to the Indians
Without waiting minute the
gdale- Baxter manage
ment decided Tacoma In the
wrong and announced the 800
fine for Lynch and threatened
that the team might be fined an
other 5000.
Baxter went further, disregard
Ing, perhaps by mistake, his own
press account of the game, as fol-
lows:
When Umpire Mccarthy
was working in Seattle re-
Gently he was hit on the
body one day with three foul
tips. While no bones were
broken, his body has been
very sore and lame. Conss-
Quently, he has umpired from

kane yesterday he requested
the catchers of the opposing

This strongest point, although he
has good speed and fair slow
ball.
johnson possesses more speed
than any other of the pitchers /
have selected. He has good
curve ball, but his slow ball is
just fair. He has good control
and with the support behind the
bat would prove to be a wonder.
Bender is a pitcher with good
lspeed, a fine curve and excellent
control. He fields his position in
grand style.
Rucker is the only left-hander
l have selected for the staff. He
has fine control for left-hander,
plenty of speed and a fine drop
ball. -5s
On the Bags.
Chase, on first, would have no
rival for the position. He is a
sensational fielder, covers an i'm
mense amount Of ground, is a
good thrower, fine hitter and
fast on the bases
Collins was given the prefer
ence over Lajoie on account of
his speed. He covers more
ground than Lajoie, and while
he may not bat within 20. points
Of the Frenchman, he overcomes
this by his work on the bases. He
is a brainy player and will fit in
any company.
Lord is a wonderful third base
man.. He is good on hard hit
balls to his left or right, fields
bunts well and is a hustler every
minute during the game. He is
a first class hitter and a fine base
runner.
Wagner as Utility.
Bush, at short, may not be as
hard a hitter as some of the other
shortstops, but he is a good wait
er, gets on the bases often and is
a first class base-runner. He Is
a sensational fielder.
Wagner would be an ideal man
for the utility roll on this team
as he can play any of the infield
positions. He can hit hard and
for big man Is fast on the bases.
Fine OutfieId.
Crawford in right. Speaker in
center and Cobb in left make a
trio in the outfield that cannot be
equaled. They are fine fielders,
good throwers and are among the
leaders as batters and base run
ners.
1 do not hesitate to say that
this outfield Is the very best in
all departments that can be got
ten together.
This team I have picked would
be strong in fielding in every po-
|sition: strong in batting and the
strongest and fastest collection of
base runners in either league.

BY Hugh Ambrose Jennings,

by Hugh Ambrose JennlgS.,
Giving an opinion of the mer.
its of the players in the major
leagues or picking an All7 fStal
team from these organizatiShs Is
difficult in view of the fact that
l have to pick the men from the
National league on the work they
have done and what little l have
seen of them on "off" days or in
the fall of the year after the
American league season closed
In selecting the men, / have
tried to pick those who would
form an ideal combination;f whose
work as team would bring ithe
best results; they would make Q
team as near my ideal of what 6
baseball team should be, asb any
crowd that could be gottena to,
Igether. %
This team would combine al
of the elements that go to make
up a winner. There would be nc
doubt about its success against
any other team that might be
picked, providing, of course, the
players worked in harmony and
did not become jealous of each
IOther.
Catchers.
In the catching department
there can be no question as te
the worth of the three men
named. Bresnahan combines
three qualifications seldom found
In a catcher. He possesses cour'
age, speed and brains, and being
a good backstop as well as
good thrower would be valuable
man for any team in the coun.
try. He is a first-class hitter and
a fine base runner.
Doom possesses all the Bresna.
han qualities except speed. He
is moro gingery, is a good throw.
err, works his pitchers with good
Judgment and is wonderful
judge Of foul flies.
Stanage is the right build fol
a catcher. He has a good arm
works his pitchers intelligently
and is not afraid to throw the
ball to any base to catch runners
mapping. He is a good hitter, but
mot fast on the bases. He can
catch every day.
Pitchers.
In Walsh I think I have select.
ed one Of the best. IL not THE
best pitcher in the country. He
is master Of the spit ball and has
good control and speed. Being @
lbig, strong man. he can work
every third day. He fields his
position In first-class style and has

In the fifth inning Gordon

his opinion. Spokesman called

Manager Lynch took the Ia
coma team off the field and
the game was awarded to
Spokane, 9 to o. At the
time of the incident the score
was 1 to in favor of Spo-
kane. The umpire's report
Is substantially the same as
that sent out by the Associate
ed Press. Lynch's actions
were entirely contrary to the
rules and regulations of base
ball. Even II the decision
had been a bad one. 1t was
his duty to play out the
game. If there we're ground
for a protest, Lynch has
knowledge of the proper pro-
cedure to follow. Lynch
started trouble in the North
west league early in the
spring by assaulting Umpire
Ward, and now he has
brought further discredit

the national game by an un-
sportsmanlike action.
