" I've got a little touch of indigestion "

Is just such little things which if neg

The one medicine for disorders and
diseases of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition is Dr. Pierce's'
Golden Medical Discovery. It increases
the activity of the whole digestive and
nutritive system, clears away obstruc
tions, stops the loss the body sustains by
undigested or partly digested food, puri
fies the blood from the poisons resulting
from imperfect digestion, and increases
the secretions of the blood-making
glands. "Golden Medical Discovery"
has a, ..wonderful record of cures of so
" called " hopeless " cases.
Mr. Thos. H. Rudasill, of Henry, Lincoln Co.,

of the liver and all the troubles usually attending
such a condition for over twenty years, and hav
ing deluged my system with floods of medicine
from every available source, and being only
temporarily benefited thereby, I applied to your
institution for treatment You instructed me to
take a course of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, which I am now doing. Although un
able to strictly follow directions I have derived
more actual benefit from the few bottles I have
taken so far than from all the other remedies
together.
Allow me to thank you for your prompt and
courteous attention to my case as well as for the
good received from it."
THE GQLDEN TIME.
y' MARGARET K. SANGSTER.
When is the golden time? you ask
the gold time of love.
The time when earth is ereen beneath,
and skies are blue above;
The 'time for sturdy health and
strength, the time for happy play
When is the gqden hour? you ask
I answer you, "To day."
To-day, that from the Maker's hand
slips on the great world sea
As staunch as ever ship that launched
to sail eternally ; :"
To day, that wafts to you and me a
breath of Eden's prime,
That greets us glad and large and free
it is the golden time.
For yesterday hath veiled her face,
and gone as far away
As sands that swept the pyramids in
Egypt's ancient day.
No man shall look on Yesterday, or
. tryst with her again;
Forever gone her toils, her prayers,
her conflicts, and her pain.
To-morrow is not ours to hold, may
never come to bless
Or blight our lives with weal or ill,
with gladness or distress.
No man shall clasp To morrow's hand,
nor catch her on the way ;
For when we reach To-morrow's land,
she'll be by then To day.
You ask me for the golden time; I bid
you "seize the hour,"
And fill it full of earnest work, while
yet youjiave the power.
To day the golden time for joy, be
neath the household eaves;
To-day the royal time for work, for
"bringing in the sheaves."
To-day, the golden time for peace, for
righting olden feuds ;
For sending forth from every heart
whatever sin intrudes,
To day, the time to consecrate your
life to God above ; -To
day, the time to banish hate, the
golden time for love,

- The expulsion of Clark, of
Montana, from the Senate is in
every sense right. He obtained his
seat by thoroueh-eoine corruption.
Yet it is a painful reflection, that if
every seat now held by the grace of
money expended in the-purchase of
legislative votes were vacated, there
would probably not be members
enough left to constitute a quorum.
Clark's error lay in the exceptional
coarseness of his methods. The Sen

MORE REPORTS OF
BOER SUCCESSES.
A British Force Surrounded With
Remote Chance of Relief or
Escape from Capture.
GEN. ROBERTS' MOVEMENTS.
Speculation as to Chances of tbe Boer
Commands at Wepener Being Cot
Of "Expectation of Good News
from Mafeking.
By Cable to tbe Morning star.
London, April 14, 2.07 P. M. The
only development reported thus far
to-day in the cable dispatches received
here from South Africa- is the heavy
bombardment of the British trenches
at Warrenton, April 13th, but which
resulted in no damage, the Boers ap
parently being under the impression
that the British meditated an attack.
Major General Sir Frederick Car
rington, accompanied by detachments
of Bushman and Scotch scouts, sailed
to-day from Cape Town for Beira,
Portuguese South Africa.
Prince Adolphus of Teckhas return
ed to Bloemfontein after a short visit
to Cape Town.
From Boer sources it is learned that
General Botha has returned from the
fighting lines at Glencoe, and reports
thatthe British have removed their
camp in the direction of Elandslaagte.
As the British camp has been situated
at that place for some time, the sig-.
niflcance of Gen. Botha's statement is
not quite clear. 1
Qen. Roberts' Movements.
The reassuring reports from Bloem
fontein published in this morning's
papers have done much to restore
confidence in London. All the cor
respondents seem to agree that Lord
Roberts knows what he is about.
The critics of the afternoon papers
eagerly : speculate on the possibilities
of the Boer commands at We
pener being cut off. This seems
quit,e possible, as the force from
Bloemfontein is advancing by way ot
DaWets dorp. General Chormside is
nearing the objective with the Third
division by way of Reddarsburg and
General Brabant's force is moving
from Aliwal North by way of Roux
ville and Bushman Kop, while across
the border a strong force of Basutos
are closely watching events. In the
meanwhile, General Rundle's division
is concentrating at Springfontein,
Lord Methueh's force is trying to get
to Hoopstad and it is believed that
General Hunter's division will
strengthen the British left at Fourteen
Streams.
The weakening of General Buller's
force by the withdrawal of the Union
and Irish brigades now under General
Hunter is attributed to the fact that
the general commanding in Natal has
decided that the forcing of his troops
is impracticable and that be will
merely attempt to maintain the status
quo until Lord Roberts' main advance
opens his road through Laings Nek.
isevond the mysterious (Jape Town
hint regarding the early expectation
of good news about Mafeking, there is
no further information at hand in
connection with the beleaguered
town, which now must be-in great
straits.
Reports of Boer Succeses.
Lkemokop, (southeast of Bloemfon
tein,) April 13. The Boer command
which is still in the southern district,
and which it was feared had been cut
off, has rendered a good account of
itself - with the Basutoland police who
had invaded the Orange Free State.
Four British scouts who were cap
tured say that Bloemfontein is hard
pressed for water. They say that all
the private wells were guarded and
civilians were not permitted to use
them until the troops were supplied.
Commandant Dewet has received a
report that the British who fled fronq
Smithfield southward were severely
punished by the burghers of Roux-
viile.
. News received here from Johannes
burg Drift says a British force of about
one thousand men, mainly composed
of Brabant's horse, with General Bra
bant commanding, is surrounded at
Robertson's mills with a remote chance
of relief or effective resistance. "
The British force, reported in the
above dispatch' from Leemokop to be
surrounded at Robertson's mill, is
probably the force of Colonial troops
previously referred to as surrounded
by the Boers near Wepener. These
British troops are not commanded by
General Brabant in person, but are
under the command of Colonel Dal
gety. General Brabant was last re
ported at Aliwal North with General
Kitchener.
Mrs. Kruger.
A special from Pretoria, dated 13th,
says:

said that she trusted God would soon
stop the merciless bloodshed, but that
the republic would be vigorously de

taken. She added that she had in the
field 33 grand-sons, two of whom were
killed, four sons, six sons-in-law and
numerous other relatives.
A dispatch from Bloemfontein, dated
April 14th, says: "A patrol of Royal
Irish, with whom was Lord Rosslyn,

TURKEY MUST PAY INDEMNITY
For the Destruction of American Mis
sionary Property Daring the Arme
nian Massacres In 1895.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, April 14. It is learn
ed on undoubted authority that the
negotiations for the payment of in
demnity demanded lor the destruc
tion of American missionary property
in Turkey during the Armenian mas
sacres in 1895 have reached their log
ical conclusion.
Minister Straus secured the nromise
of the Sultan that indemnity amount
ing to about $90,000 should be paid,
and that promise having been twice
renewed, tne last time previous to
Minister Straus' departure from Con
stantinople, it was understood by the
minister as well as by the State De
partment that payments would be
forthcoming. Sixteen months have
passed since the promise was made and
has not yet been fulfilled, and the
question presents itself, what action
will this government take to enforce
its observance. Meanwhile the Presi
dent has refused to accept the resigna
tion of Minister Straus, and has in
definitely extended his leave of ab
sence.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION
FORMALLY OPENED.
Imposing Ceremonies-A Gorgeous Assem-
Mige Vast Throng of People No
Exhibits lo Place Yet.
r .
By Cable to the Morning Star.
Paris, April 14.The Exposition of
1900 has opened, but it will be. at least
a month before anything but buildings
is to be seen. The day's ceremonies
were a peculiar mixture of sumptuous
splendor in the Salles des Fetes and
widespread confusion elsewhere.
Nothing could have exceeded thSypic
turesque stage setting in the beautiful
building in which the inaugural oere
monies were held, the gorgeous ui
forms of the diplomats and soldiers,
the splendid orchestra and chorus, and
the magnificent effect produced by the
grand staircase, up which President
Loubet proceeded to view tne iiix
position, lined with some two
hundred picked men of the Re
publican Guards, with .ackpoots,
white bre'eches, gleaming cuirasses
and horsehair plumes streaming from
shining helmets. At the top of -.this
stairway was a .room, the Interior of
which could be seen ironi tne sanes
des Fetes, and this was hung with
priceless gobelins from the Louie. Into
this splendid apartment President Lou
bet entered ana irom mere . warned
down the avenue to his boat. This
part of the day's arrangements was
perfect, but the rest was chaos.
The weather to-dry was luckily all
that could be desired. Fourteen thou
sand guests had been . invited - to the
function and they had, because 01 tne
fine weather, only the dust to endure.
Had the day been wet the unrolled
paths of the Exposition grounds would
have been turned into a mass of mud.
The spectacle that met President
Loubet 's eyes when, amid the re
sounding strains of the Marseillaise,
he stepped to the front of the presi
dential dais on his entry into the
Salle des Fetes was probably never
seen before within the walls of any
building. The vast circus was filled
with a sea of human beings, who over
flowed the balconies jetting out from
the sides. The decoration or tne in
terior was a triumph of artistic skill.
with a handsome stained glass dome
through which the rays of sunlight
filtered down upon the concourse be
low and a color scheme in mural
painting with the strikingly executed
frescoes of appropriate allegories in
brilliant relief. The galleries and bal
conies were draped with red plusn,
and the hall was profusely 'adorned
with trophies of tri-color flags, open
ing fan like from shields bearing the
letters "R. F."
The group among the great assem
bly which was the most atractive was
the body of foreign representatives in
picturesque attire. - Since Victoria's
jubilee, or the Czar's oronation, no
such congress of strange or gorgeous
national costumes has been seen. In
a mass together were turbaned chiefs,
Arab sheiks in flowing white robes
and with faces muffled in linen
clothes; Hungarian magnates in mag
nificent dolmans trimed with valuable
furs, wit h green breeches and top
boots and wearing' fur toques sur
mounted by waving aigrettes ; Chinese
and other Oriental embassy officials
in characteristic silk garments: tall
Cossacks in sumputous cloaks with
bandoliers slung across their chests
from which emerged the polished
brass cartridge cases and trailing heavy
sabres. All of these outlandish
figures rubbed shoulders with the
wearers of the not less splendid but
better Known European uniforms.
A vast throng which tried to reach
the Champs d'Mars in advance of the'
presidential party by passing through
on the ground floor of the Agricultural
Man, round it a discouraging task.
Piles of plaster, blockades of timber,
and unfilled excavations confronted
them everywhere. Over these they
climbed, almost suffocating from the
dust Handsomely gowned women in
spring attire braved the difficulties, but
only at the cost of ruining expensive
costumes.
This is only an example of the in
complete condition of the interiors of
most of the structures, which must
undergo a month's serious labor before
the public can find the exhibits in
place and view them with comfort and
without sacrifice to wearing apparel.
BRYAN DEMOCRATS
Have Decided to Welcome Admiral Dewey
Into the Ranks of the Demo
cratic Party.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Chicago, April 14. Bryan Demo
crats have decided to, welcome Ad
miral Dewey into the Democratic
party Such is the position officially
outlined in to day's issue of the Demo
cratic Press Bulletin:
"We may accent the admiral's de
claration of his political faith as indi
cating that he is with the Democratic
party at least on an overwhelming
majority of the issues it has taken up,"
runs the article, which is written by
Willis J. Abbott, head of the Demo
cratic literary bureau. "This is a
most gratifying fact," the ar
ticle continues. "It indicates that
should the Democratic party, after
mature deliberation .deny to the Ad
miral the nomination which he seeks,
it may nevertheless count on his hear
ty co-operation and his influence in
behalf of its efforts to end the evils of
McKinleynm by ending the reign of
Emperor William I."
In commenting on the purport of
his article. Mr. Abbott savs: "We are
naturally delighted at the prospect of
such a distinguished acquisition to our
ranks as Admiral Dewey. But of
course we expect the Admiral to 'play
fair' and accept the good old Demo
cratic doctrine of abiding by the result
of an honest Democratic convention."

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Conflicting Statement's Made by Southern
. ." n a a.
Railroad Official ana rresioeni
Powell of Telegraphers J ,
rv Telegraph to the Morning star.
Atlanta, Ga., April 14. Mora co n
fidence seemed to pervade both parties
to the strike of the telegraphers on the
Southern Railway to da"y thau at acy
time since the walk-out was ordered.
The Southern officials, speaking of
the condition on the divisions centre
ing in Atlanta, say that they are nor
mal. President Powell said today:
"I consider the victory won by the
telegraphers." '
Trains arriving ana aeparung irom
Atlanta since, 4 P.M. yesterday have
been delayed from twenty minutes to
one hour and thirty minutes where
there was any delay. Official infor
mation from the office of Assistant
General Superintendent Thompson to
day was to the effect that all trains are
coming a.d going with no hurtful de
lays. This includes freight trains; the
officials claim that all freight is being
bandied, as heretofore. "JNo strike
exists so far as we are concerned," is
the railroad officials' statement. -
President Powell, in his daily state
ment, says:
"I consider the victory won by the
telegraphers. My reports show that
several of. the most important' divi
sions are absolutely tied-up no pas
sengers or freights running. My ad
vices from Knoxville, Asheville, Salis
bury and Chattanooga show that the
line through those cities is completely
blocked. Not a train is moving. The
United States fast mail train from
Washington to Memphis via Salisbury,
Asheville. Knoxville and Chattanooga
has been annulled and no trains are
moving in that section.
"At Birmingham the situation is
perfectly satisfactory. Nothing but
passenger trains are moving on tne
Birmingham division and the Alabama
Great Southern. Freig"ht is congesting
and a large number of car loads of
perishable stuff has been lost in that
section. At Charlotte the strike is
effective on ail freight business. This
is also true of the lines north and east
toward Washington.
"The strike is spreading at Augusta
and Columbia Seven more men
struck between Salisbury and Char
lotte last night. Not an operator is
working at Augusta, the Southern
dispatcher striking last night. The
people at Corona, Ala., in the milling
district, refuse to provide food for the
scab Operator sent there. At Tusca
loosa,' Ala., Superintendent Rickey's
stenographer went to work but soon
quit. At Coal Creek, Tenn., the
miners held a meeting and pledged
their support to our cause. On the
Murphy and Asheville division not a
train is running of any sort. Every
office is closed tight. The citizens or
dered a scab to leave Ne wells, N. C,

CAMPAIGN IN LOUISIANA
Closed Last Night With Riral Mass Meet- j
logs lo New Orleans A Bitter Con
lest by tbe Republicans.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
New Orleans, April 14. The State
campaign virtually-closed to:nigbt by
rival mass meetings. The Democrats
had a great rally at Elk Place, present
vug three dozen speakers from four
platforms. The Caffery Republican
wing held a smaller meeting at the
head of Canal street, dubbing it an in
dignation meeting to protest against
election frauds wtuch they fear win
be committed. The Democrats have
offered their watchers to witness the
vote and count all over the State, but
they want commissioners or nothing:.
In the city the commissioners for
the Republican side were accorded to
the Wimberley wing, the Democrats
holding that it is tbe Republican party
recognized by the national Republican
committee. Most of the parishes or
counties have ruled likewise, though
some have given the ordered commis
sioner to the Uatiery element.
The campaign has been made very
hitter by. the Caffery combine, of
which Senator Caffery 's son is the can
didate for Governor, the Senator join
ing in arraigning Democratic methods
of election and attacking tbe one man
power exercised by Governor Foster.
The latter was with difficulty dis
suaded from calling Senator Caffery
to personal account,- it being deemed a
bad precedent for the Governor to en
gage in a personal quarrel, in some
parts of the State Caffery speakers
have appealed to arms. The outlook,
However, is for a quiet election, with
the vote much lighter than usual.
FILIPINOS AGAIN ACTIVE.
Attacked Balanga and Were Repulsed by
the Thirty-second Regiment.
By Telegraph to the Uorninz star.
Manila, April 14. The insurgents,
supposedly Mascado's command, are
again active about the Marivales
mountains, across the bay from Ma
nila. A force, estimated at three hun
dred, attacked Balanga, where three
com panies of the Thirty-second infan
try are stationed, on Monday night,
but were steadily repulsed. Yesterday
they attacked Captain Goldman with
thirty men of the Thirty second regi
ment near Urion, killing two Ameri
cans, lioidmaii then retired.
The transport Thomas sails to mor
row, taking General Theodore Sch wan
and three hundred discharged and sick
soldiers.
