better, and he has already given notice of
his Intention to Jump into llieeipantion
fray, by offering a resolution declaring
It to be unconstitutional for this country
to acquire territory to be held and gov

principal object of Mr. Vest In offering
hi resolution Is believed to be tha fur
nishing of a foundation upon which he
end other Senators of the tame mind
may stand, and speak In open session
against ratificationof the treaty of pe.tce,
that getting a better opportunity to In
fluenoe the public against the treaty

will .jake a mistake by antagonizing the
treaty of peace, and thus slates his own
petition: "I do not propose to sea tbe

Dr. Warth in, commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine ttid: There
none which it certain to be to valuable
and far reaching in benefit at Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets,' the new stomach
remedy; I say far reaching, because peo
ple little realize how important a sound
stomach and vigorous digestion is
every man, woman and child.
Indigestion it tbe starting point
cons mptlon, heart disease, Bright'.
disease, dUbetes, nervous prouration,
liver troubles; why it this sot Simply
because every nerve, muaclo and tissue
in our bodies it created aud nourished
from the food we eat It that food is, by
reason of a weak stomaoh, compelled
lie for hours, a sour, fermenting mast of
half digested food, It poisons the blood
and nervous system, creates gat which
distends the stomach and bowels, csus
ing pressure on the heart, lungs and
other organs, and seriously impeding
their action, n V " V
ne says further, the point to direct at
lenlion to is not the nerves.nor heart.nor
lungs, nor kidneys, but the stomach, too
first cause of alt the mischief.
The remedy to nse for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic.
but a remedy which will digest the food
Increase tbe flow of gastric julco, absorb
the gases and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
will accomplish exactly this result in
any case of stomach trouble, because
these tablets are composed of tbe diges
tive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal
and bismuth, pleasant to taste, aud not
being a patent medicine, can be used by
anyone with perfect safety. I believe
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any
form of indigestion and stomach trouble
except eancer of stomach. .

sia Tablets are sold by druggists at SO

bather disfranchisement or a well-

who profess n belief that quite soon
there may be a national law for disfran
chisement, bat tba others declare this Is
purely visionary.

In tbe matter of diitloguUbed men
who bava accepted the Invitation of

believed the In bl lea will surpass the

gives to tha event aa additional Interest

General Fltzbugh Lee hot notified tbe

From this it is inferred that the com
mander of the Seventh Corps does, not
expect to leave Savannah for Cuba for
at least one week.
