CHARLOTTE NEWS, MARCH 19, 1903. 6 DR. HATH A WAV HOPELESS TASK IS THEPBEDICI1 Alaskan Boundary Arbitration Likely to Be Fruitless Neither Side is Satisfied Washington. March 19. "I believe we ought to arbitrate most things. I am sorry we arbitrated the seals and I should be exceedingly sorry if we ever arbitrated the Alaska boundary." This rather 5?r!. Tit 5-t.itement was made by President Roosevelt, then president of the New York City Police Board, at a dinner at Delmonico's on January 23. 1S97. Strange as it may seem, the officials of the State Department have not the slightest hope that any definite result looking to the settlement of the much mooted Alaskan boundary question will be obtained through the recent ar bitration treaty with Great Britain providing for the appointment of three American and three English arbitra tion commissioners. That the com missioners will be unable to reach, any decision whatever is a foregone con clusion and is tacitly admitted at the Stare Department. The above statement made by the President is explained today by saying that when he said he would be exceed ingly sorry if the United States ever agreed to arbitrate the Alaskan bound ary dispute, he meant that h-3 would dislike o see the question given to any commission that had an uneven num ber of members and so constituted that one man could cast the deciding vote. The President and his Cabinet realize that the feelins: in the United States toward the Alaskan boundary matter would preclude any submission at this time to the nr. irion of Great Britain. With this in mind it is admitted the American commissioners were selected because of tneir known opinions ad verse to the claims of Great Britain and with the certainty that each of them would cast his vote unqualifiedly for the Ameiican principle and in ac cordance with th- evident, desires of the people of this country. The announcement that comes from Ottawa that the Canadian Govern ment has submitted to London the names of Justice A-.mour. of the Su preme Court of Canada, and Sir Louis Jtte, of Quebec, as j boundary com missioners, follows out what was ex pected by the State Department would be tho character of the British com missioners. It is as well known to the State Department that thse men will be as strong for rhe British contention as will the American commissioners f m- the principle of the United States. The third member of the British com mission will undoubtedly be th-3 Uo;,i Chief Justice of England, who, it is a foregone conclusion, will receive in structions to stand fast for the bound ary line claimed by his Government. At the State Department it is said that as much criticism can be made of tho probable British commissioners a has been made in Canada of Secretary of War Root. Senator Henry C. Loe and ex-Senator George Turner, who will represent the United States. When th-3 commission meets it will be with the feeling that no result will be ob tained, and the entire question will be where it was before the ratification -A the Alaskan boundary treaty, and the boundary will still be governed by ihj Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don't Know it.

The report comes from Canada that Sir Wilfrid Laurier during the debat; on the Alaskan Boundary Commission in the House of Commons argu-od that the decision of the United States to allow the question of sovereignty ove Dvea and Skagway .to be arbitrated in any manner whatever was a distinct concession. He criticised the appoint ment of Secretary of War Root as a member of the commission on the ground that as a member of the Ad ministration of President Roosevelt he was one of the suitors in the case and unfitted to judge his own case. The appointment of ex-Senator Turner as an American member also brought forth severe criticism from Sir Wil frid. These aspersions on the personnel of the commission are exceedingly dis pleasing to the State Department and are thought to be entirely out of plac1 coming from the Canadian Premiei. No official cognizance of them will be taken, however, by the State Depart ment. HAVE HAD THEIR DAY. Old Fashioned Medicines For Catarrh No Longer In Vogue. For many years past the usual treat ment for catarrh diseases was with local douches, sprays, inhalers and liquid medicines composed principally of alcohol, all of which never cured but simply give the temporary relief and stimulation. A thorough cure can be made only by the treatment which removes the catarrhal poisons from the blood. A new remedy which meets the re quirements and which so far has been remarkably successful in curing ca tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membrane only. They can hardly be classed as a secret patent medicine as they are composed of such valuable remedies as blood root. Hydrastin, red gum of Eucalyptus tree and similar antisep tics combined in tablet form, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous membrane the poisons of catarrh. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges to be taken internally, allowing them to dissolve in the mouth, thus reaching the throat, trachea and finally the stomach. If desired they may also be dis solved in water and used as a douche, in addition to the internal use, but it is not all necessary to use a douche; a few- of them dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient. However, when there is much stoppage of the nose a douche made from these tablets will give immediate relief, but the regular daily use internally wjll cure the whole catarrhal trouble without re sorting to the inconvenience of a douche. Dr. Bennett stated "that the in ternal treatment of catarrh by means of pleasant medicated tablets is rapidly taking the place of douches and local applications" and further says that "probably the best and cer tainly the safest remedy at present on the market is the Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is made of their composition and all the really effi cient catarrh remedies are concen trated in this tablet." Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets at 50 cts. for full sized packages, and he will tell you there is no safer, more palatable, efficient and conven ient catarrh cure known to the trado.

SIOUX TIKE TO PALE-FACE DIVORCE Indians Quick to Imitate the South Dakota Customs Method of Changing Wives (Baltimore Sun.) Chamberlain, S. D., March 17 The Indians have discovered the beauties of the Dakota divorce laws and are taking advantage of them. At the present rate of increase the Indian di vorce mill of South Dakota will in five years become nice extensive than that of the Easterners. While an Indian divorce was an un heard of thing five years ago. 1G peti tions for legal separation have been filed at Oacoma alone during the last year by tuii-bioouea sioux ducks ana squaws. Divorces have come to the Indians as one of the heritages of civil ization. The Indian officials have been trying for 20 years to induce the In dians to be married according to the white man's law. Now they have al most succeeded. But the same law has taught them the interesting fact that thev can change wives or husbands. They fail to understand that the di vorce law is anytinng out a means or attaining the luxury t)f an unlimited number of marriages. Many bucks and squaws who know not a word of Eng lish and bear no mark of civilization except that of clothes come to the at torneys' office here and in Oacoma and ask for divorces when they have no other reason than a desire to form a new marriage. They point to other Indians who had had many wives and ask whv thev cannot when the law provides the way. When the Indian tribes were placed on reservations ana cut on rrom tneir native wild life their respect for their own social laws dwindled. It was no't Ions until many were living in utter disregard of the family obligations. Bucks deserted squaws and squaws took on new husbands without any formality and without any reason ex cept their whim. Bigamy was erased from the calendar of tribal offenses. It was to remedy this evil that the Gov ernment officials and the church mis sionaries demanded that the Indians be married according to the South Da kota laws. Now that they have found out about the divorces they seek to re turn to their old free life through the divorce avenue. At the last term of court at Oacoma Burnt Prairie, a well-known old war rior, testified proudly that he had had 3G wives. Tbe new order of things means that his son will probably want as many wives, and will endeavor to have them in compliance with the white man's law. through frequent ap plication to the divorce courts. The Indian marriage of today is a curious mixture of civilized methods and tribal ceremonies. Unwilling to give up theh- traditional customs, the Indians are now using both the tribal and civilized marrmge laws. The young buck chooses his squaw in the manner of the Sioux, then is married by a justice of the peace or a mission ary clergyman. The dance at which squaws are pub licly chosen by eligible bucks has not lost its popularity. A' sufficiently fre quent intervals these da. ices are called. They are usually held in great tents. The old warriors and squaws take their seats in a circle and sit silently smoking. Presently the younger In dians come in. The bucks are arrayed in all the finery that civilization has left them. All the marriageable maid ens enter the tent with coverings over their heads. These are gorgeously made and rattle at every step with beads and the teeth of wild animals. At a signal from an older Indian the younger ones begin the dance. It is an uncouth step, possessing no charm for the white man. With a peculiar rny- thm of movement the young bucks hop about from maiden to maiden, lifting 1 1 1 X- iUn up the coverings ana louKiug l me faces underneath. When at length the buck has found his lady love he march es off with her. Under the native cus toms the marriage Is concluded when the Indian takes his bride to his tepee. When the sacred dance is concluded the couples set off for the nearest town or cnurcn. justices ui uie peace m Oacoma have been visited by as many ft FATALjyilSTRKE Is Often Made by the Wisest Space It's a fatal mistake to neglect back ache.

Read what this gentleman says: Capt. D. W. Welsh, keeper of the Wood County Infirmary, Parkers burg, W.

I trade at Dr. J. N. Murdoch's drug store on Third street and have something to get in the drug line every time I come in. It was there I learned about Doan's Kidney Pills and I took a supply home with me and used them. My wife" used them and my sister, Mrs. A. Amick, of No. 645 Seventh street, used them.

As many of the Indian marriages must be performed through interpre ters, so the divorce hearings are car ried on largely through intermediaries. It is a novel sight to witness copper hued Sioux Indians, tribesmen with those who slew Custer's army, sitting about a courtroom and watching with solemn mien the red tape of a modern court. QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers' never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Bil iousness. Doctors were scarce, ant they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used Augus Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the livert stimulate the ner vous and organic action of the sys tem, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a, few closes of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. You can get this reliable remedy at Fitzsimmons Drug Co.

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and. sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits.
