v:u mittm stoat- EAbJ!Hr If thev oriiv could, manv, rich men would erase the W in wealth and write H in its place, and so change wealth into health. It's the saddest thing abont riches that in in acquiring them men often ruin their health and at their prime are doomed to live "perked up in a glistering grief and wear a golden sorrow. The trouble is generally with the stomach. In the rush for riches there's been no time for regularity, no consider ation of right food. The stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition become diseased and then begins the bitter and varied sufferings of the man with "stomach trouble." Yet this condition can be cured. The stomach and other organs of digestion . and nutrition, can be restored to a nor rmal condition of sound health. Thou sands testify that Dr. Tierce's Golden . Medical Discovery, strengthens the stom ach, nourishes the nerves and purifies he blood, that it breaks the bonds of the dyspeptic, and. makes him a healthy, happy man. No alcohol whisky t other intoxicant is contained in "Golden Med ical Discovery. , " I was a sufferer from what the doctors called indigestion, but after trying several eminent physicians failed -to get a cure," writes Mr.Frank Meiicle, P. O. Box 473, Independence, Jackson Co., Mo. " Some of my symptoms -were sore nass in pit of stomach, fullness, tired feeling, constipation ; some times soreness would extend to bowels. Some one recommended me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which I did, and after taking only a few bottles of ' Dis covery' and your 'Pleasant Pellets' can say I. derived more benefit from them than trom any other medicine I ever tried. I began to gain in flesh from the start. Have recommended it to others and will continue to do so." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets do not become a necessity to the system they have relieved of accumulations and ob structions. " '; OLD TJBIFS. ETJQBNE FIELD. There are no days! like the good old days ' , The days when we were youthful !

St. Patrick's Day Divides Honors With General Roberts, the Hero of the Hour. WAR NEWS IS UNIMPORTANT. Anxiety as to Maf eking-Rumor That the Place Has Been Relleved-The Boers , Making i Stand in the Mono taio Passes-Skirmishing. By Cable to the Hornuut Btar London, March 17, 4.25 A M Amid the festivities of St P trick' Day London has been lisiening to da for the word that Mafeking is reli-ved. It is remarkable that the revival of this holiday, which puts St. Patrick's hereafter on an equality with Prim rose Day, has been the occasion of the first real gala day since the declara tion of war. Christmas tide was gloomy, indeed, in comparison with to day's merry makings, and the only filip needed was the news of the relief of the besieged Mafeking. There is so muck in the situation in South Africa to justify rejoicing, how ever, that the rapid pacification of the Free State leads the people of Great Britain to believe that they have a statesman as well as a strategist in the hero of the hour; ''Bobs." The Transvaal officials are said to have vacated Taungs and Vryburg.but the rebels are unwilling to enter the Transvaal, being anxious to treek homewards. No one would be much surprised if a great spread of' this con tagion occurred in the next fortnight. Lady Randolph Churchill, who started homeward on the hospital shin Maine yesterday, cables to the S committee that she regards it as a compliment to the united mates mat the Maine was the first ship to leave Ladvsmith was relieved. There were twelve officers and 133 non commissioned officers and men aboard the Maine. The Boer Prisoners. , nCAPH Town. March 1 7.

To Petition Congress to Take Action on the Tariff Question Starving Coun try Women Befris for Food. By Cable to tbe Moraine 8 San Jttaic de Porto Rico. March 17. At a special meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce, to-day, it was de cided to close all thebusiness houses on Monday afternoon to enable the merchants to attend an open air meet ing on the plaza, with the object of drawing up a petition to Governor General Davis, demanding immediate congressional decision on the tariff, one wayyor the other. The agreement were sent to all towns throughout Por to Rico requesting demonstrations. The feeling of uncertainty regarding the tariff holds business practically at a standstill, the merchants being afraid to Order goods or to advance funds on the planters' account. The meeting today was conducted inia calm and business-like manner. The merchantshere will be satisfied to. ac cept any decision ot Congress either free trade or the twenty-five or fifteen per cent tariff but they ask for a set tlement of the question, so that busi ness activity may be resumed. They decided to take this unparalleled step only after mature deliberation. Starving Country Women, Sixty country women marched from Naranjitb. arriving last evening, and petitioned Governor General Davis to save them from starvation and to pro vide work and food. ' The women pre sented a most pi table sight. They were barefooted and ragged, half nak ed, dust covered and weary from their journey. Some of them were lame, all were discouraged. The petition which they presented to the governor general tells the story of the depressing times no work and the price of rice beans, and bread be yond reach, fruits destroyed, and the relief supply discontinued, bringing them and others where they came al most to starvation. General Davis promised relief to the party and requested the mayor' ta provide transportation. His reply was that there was not a peso in the treasury and that the police were yet unpaid for the last two months' work. The party of women dispersed, quietly, some retracing their steps afoot, others begging easier conveyance to Naran- 3'ito, which is twenty miles from San uan, a portion of the road being al most impassable. Similar parties are expected from other towns. A majority of the national banks in New York city have already made ap plication to increase their -circulation to the par value of the bonds deposit ed by them in Washington. It ia said that the increase of circulation will amount to about 12,500,000, ex clusive of the circulation that may be taken out on the deposit of additional bonds.

GOLD STANDARD DEMOCRATS. Scheming to Secure Control of the Na tional Convention and Eliminate Sil ver From the Platform. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. St. Louis, March 16 Ex Governor William J. Stone, Democratic Na tional committeeman from Missouri, said to day he believed there was some truth in the statement that there is a movement among Eastern Democrats to elect Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, chairman of the National Committee, and eliminate silver from the plat form. 1 To a Post-Dispatch representative Governor Stone said: "Some sort of a scheme is on foot, although I am not able yet to say exactly what it is. From information that came to me at Washington and since, I gather that the end which the Palmer and Buck ner Democrats are trying to attain is the capture of the organization of the party. Their scheme appears to be to get into the convention as delegates, and with as little noise as possible, but by means of adroit manipulation, control as manv delegations as pos sible with the ultimate object of con trolling the convention and capturing the National Committee. They will be for Bryan, but they want the or ganization. "Speaking for myself, while I am very glad to see the Palmer and Buck ner Democrats, who deserted the party in 1896, come back to it, I do not be lieve in offering a premium for their return." , . : . i - flhave no particular disease, and am it, it seems as though I did double i and kidneys.

Another Attempt at Mediation Not Un likely The Threatened Destruction ef the Gold Mines Regarded as a Serious Matter io Prance. Special Berlin Letter. Copyrighted 1699 by the . Associated Press. PARis,March 17. "The United States' has shown selfish Europe an example," said a responsible official to repre sentative of the Associated Press when asked what was the feeling of the French government regarding Presi dent McKinley's offer of his good offices to England. "We felt," con tmued the official in Question "that our own position with respect to Eng land, in view of the present state of public feeling there, was too late to admit of our acceding to Mr. Krueer's appeals and as this .reluctance ap I peared to be snared by every other power, tne action ox the American government in taking the initiative came as an agreeable surprise. That it did not succeed does rot detract from its merit." The Associated Press here called the interlocutor's attention to the com plaints of a portion of the French press that Mr. McKinley refrained from backing up his offer, which was necessary to its s jeeess, some papers naving openly stated that his action was a mere election manoeuvre and not intended to be successful.' "In our view," replied the official, "these criticisms are utterly unjusti fied. President McKinley did even more than up to' the last moment was expected over ere. Only the mem bers of chancelleries who realized the delicate nature of such a step, can ap predate America's effort at its proper value. The French government, while not prepared to take the initiative, would, in conjunction with Russia. readily have supported America, but the promptitude, of England' refusal cut the ground from under them." The official's informant added, that. although there appeared to be little likelihood of intervention in the im mediate future, yet hones are still in tertained that an offer of good offices from the powers may eventually prove acceptable. "At any rate." said he. "it is not unlikely that it will be made it foreign interests are . Jn danger by the threatened destruction of the Rand mines." This question of the destruc tion of the erold mines, as predicted by Mr. Montaga White, ia regarded as a serious matter here, and as being not merelr possible, but probable. It is learned that the French govern ment has received information to the same effect r from another source, and it considers the de scendants of the Dutchmen who flooded their own country in order to repel an invasion, quite capable of following this historic precedent in the case of foreign owned gold mines. The French press has taken up the matter and points out the enormous amount of French savings sunk in the Rand gold fields. It is stated if the Boers carry out their threat it wi.l take at least three years to reconstruct the surrace machinery and other plant, while immense destruction could be wrought by dynamiting the under workings. Thus, since Tuesday. Rob inson has dropped from 210 to 200: Ferreria from 493 to 465, and Gelden- huis from J4S to 140. WOOD'S HI6H GRADE Farm Seeds.
