Ohadron, N e b , Jan. 1C Shortly after
the battleship Maine was destroyed in H a -
vana harbor, a dark complexloned an d
well educated. Spaniard put in his appear
ance on th e large stock ranch i n Sioux
country, owned by Bob Yago
While intoxicated a few days ago h e
told Mr. Yago some ^hiings t h a t
caused the latter t o watch the Spaniard
closely , and his reward was the discov
ery of some papers which indicated t h a t
he was a t one time a Spurnsh officer
Mr. Yago questioned th e Soaniard and
he made a confession wl.ioh i s startling if
true.
The Spaniard's correct name is Manuel
Deslivia Braga. H e w a s a captain in the
Spanish army in Cuba
During Weyler's campaign h e became
angered with th e brutal treatment ac -
corded Cuban prisoners, and h e so ex-.,
piessed himself Weyler a t once ha d
him court-martialed and discharged from
t h e army
He then planned t o get even with We
ler H e conceived the idea that th e
proper thing -was i n s o m t way t o cause
war between America and Spain
Dressed in his old uniform, that of cap
tain, with some old clothes i n a small
grip, h e had n o trouble i n passing th e
guards.
In a short time thereafter h e touched
the button that sent t h e Maine t o th e
bottom of the harbor.

Washington, Jan. 15 The committee on
manufactures of th e th e senate, of
which Senator McCumber, of North Da
kota, i3 chairman, has, prepared a digest
of th e c u r e food and dair\ laws of th e
United States. The committee savs
Since the committee on manufactures inves
tigated the question of food products the sub
ject has become a vital one in a large number
of the states, the legislatures of which have
passed laws prohibiting the adulteiation of
food and drugs Every state in the union has
some general or specific law upon the ques
tion ot food and drug adulteration The bill
recommended by this committee, know as the
"flour bill," has been of "Inestimable value,
and the committee can safely state that it
has practically ended the adulteration of
American flour, which, a t the time of the pas
sage of the bill, was a most common practice
Thousand" of barrels of mixed flour were con
fiscated during the first jear of the enforce
ment of the act E\ery flour mill engaged in
grinding white arth as a substitute foi flour
has closed Its business The health of theagain
people has been protected thereby the honest
manufacturer has been lelieved of the unfair
competition which he had to meet with those
who adulterated their flour, the reputation of
American flour Increased at home and abroad,
the export of American flour the first twelve
months after the passage of the bill Increased
from 10,000,000 to loOOOOOO barrels, which, in
the opinion of the committee, as shown by
correspondence with the leading exporters,
was largely due to the fact that every barrel
of American floui is guaranteed by the gov
ernment to he pure
This instance Is cited to encourage further
proper puie food legislation, in accordance
with bills reported bv this committee The
committeo is of the opinion that theie should
be national legislation upon this subject, as
that would control Interstate commeice in
adulterated foods, it is the only way to guai
ahteti uniformity of legislation, and will sub
Btantially help oui American products in for
eign countries by giving it the government
guaranty, which is largelv demanded bv oui
customers abroad

In all cases of dyspepsia and disordered diges
tion
Almost everybody s digestlo l is disordered
more or less, and the commonest thing they
do for It is to take some one of the many
so-called blood purifiers, which in irany cases
are merely strong cathartics Such th'ngs are
not needed If the organs are in a clogged
condition, they need only a little help and
they will right themselves Cmihaitlcs irri
tate the sensitiye linings of the stomach and
bowels and often do more harm than good
Purging Is not what is needed "JTie thing
to do is to put the food in condition to
beput

Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly They
partly digest what is eaten and give the
stomach just the help It needs They stimu
late the secretion and excretion of tbe diges
tl\e fluids and relieve the congested condi
tion of the glands and membranes Thev
put the whole digestive system in condition
to do its work When that is done you need
take no more tablets unless you eat what
does not agree w'th you. Then take one or
two tablet!)give them needed help and you
will have no trouble
