For People Whose Stomachs are Weak and Digestion Poor. Dr. Harlandson, whose opinion in dis eases is worthy 'of attention, says when a. man or woman comes to me complain ing of indigestion, loss of appetite, sour stomach, belching, sour watery-rising, headache, sleeplessness, lack of ambi tion and a general run down nervous condition I advise them to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, allowing the tablet to dissolve in the mouth, and Uius mingle with the food eaten. The result is that the food is speedily digested before it has time to sour and ferment. These tablets will digest the food anyway whether the stomach wants to or not. because they contain harmless diges tive principles, vegetable essences, pep sin and Golden Seal which supply Just w hat th weak stomach lacks. I have advised the tablets with great success, both In curing indigestion and to build up the tissues, increasing flesh in thin nervous patients, whose real trouble was dyspepsia and as soon as the stomach was put to rights, they did not know what sickness was. A fifty cent package of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets can be bought at any drug store, and as they are not a secret patent medicine, they can bemused as often as desired will full assurance that they contain nothing harmful in the slightest degree; on the contrary, anyone whose stomach is at all derang td will find great benefit from the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They will cure any form of stomach weakness or diseases except cancer of the stomach.

Clothes Torn Off For Biding on St. Louis Street Cars. St. Louis, June 4. The citizen mem bers of the posse comitatus had their first experience with active service to day when several companies were as signed for guard duty at the Park ave nue, Easton avenue and Southern electric power houses of the Transit company. Arms were given out-to about 900 of the deputies yesterday and the day was spent drilling them. As a re sult the deputies presented a military appearance as they marched away to their respective rendezvous with guns at a right shoulder. While on guard duty the members of the sheriff's posse will be subject to strict military discipline. Those not on guard will be held in reserve at the dif ferent police stations. A barracks has been provided for those already sworn in, and there the men will eat and sleep while off dutv None of the deputies will be sent out to guard the cars, the police being re tained for that service. The work of summoning- and swearing in additional deputies continues. All but two or three of the divisions of the Transit system are operating cars today and good schedules are being maintained on most of the lines. The interference with passengers in some sections of the city by strike sympa thizers is becoming serious. It is as much as a person's life is worth to get off a street car along South Broad way. Men, women and children join in the assault on any one caught riding on the cars, sticks, stones and fists being used on all alike. Several women have been brutally beaten and the clothes torn from their backs. But for the appearance of the police in each Instance the victims would have fared worse. Christine Thiere, 18 years old, was set upon by a crowd of about 2.0X1 men, sim ply because she had ridden on a car of the St. lxjuls Transit company. She was on the way to spend the day with her mother. She is a servant. The distance was too far to walk and e-et back to her employers by night. She took a street car. When she alighted at Ninth street and Geyer avenue at 5 p. m., from a Cherokee car she was approached bv a young man who called her a "scab." Oth ers Joined in the chorus. A young man tore off her jackett and another her hat. She was struck by the fists of men and bruised about the face and bodv. A pocketbook which she carried in her hand was snatched away and the money taken. Piece by piece her clothing was torn away, while she appealed for entrance at the nearest house. The occupants, how ever, were atraicl the mob would tear down the building- and refused her admit taince. She succeeded in reachine an allev and ran down it. followed by the hooting men. There was a little window leading into a cellar. She broke the glass and jumped in and cowered in a corner in the darkness. Finally her persecutors went away. Then she called for help and received it. finally being taken to her employers in Delmar boulevard. At 1916 South Twelfth street another in cident of the kind occurred. Stella Brod erick got off a car only to be assailed and hooted at by a mob. Her jacket was torn from her by men. She ran down an alley and into the homer of Mrs. Folk. The mob surrounded the house and began throwing stones through windows. Mrs. Folk got a revolver and opened fire on the mob from her front window and the men scattered. A POLITICAL PICNIC. Wetmore Will Entertain Bryan, Towne and Jones. Kansas City, June 4. The Star today will say: "While the Republican national con vention is in session at Philadelphia, William J. Bryan, Charles A. Towne, Populist nominee for vice president; James K. Jones, chairman of the eDmo cratic national committee; Col. M. C. Wetmore. of St. Louis, the tobacco mer chant,' and J. J. Hogan, a Democratic politician of La Crosse, Wis., will enjoy an outing at Mlnoqua, Wis., a fishing resort on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. National Committeeman Wm. J. Stone has been invited to loin the party, but has declined owing to the fact that the St. Louis street car strike will engage his attention at that time as counsel. The party will be the guests of Col. Wetmore at-his summer cottage at Minocqua. This much was announced touay Dy oi. wetmore who had ar rived to attend the Democratic state convention and who sa3 that the Wis consin gathering will be simply an out ing and have no political significance. Col. Wetmore is to meet Messrs. Bryan and Jones in Chicago on June 12. Mr. Towne is expected to put In his appearance alter tne party has arrived at Minocqua. The feature about Messrs. Towne and Jones became known when Col. Wet more, who had just received a hastily written letter from Mr. Bryan handed the letter to a Star reporter. Col. W et more was tired and hurried and asked the reporter's assistance in transcrib ing the letter from the Nebraskan. In the letter Mr. Bryan wanted to know about the train service to Winocqua via St. Paul and Chicago. "The reason I am so particular about this," con cludes Mr. Bryan, "is because I hope to have Mr. Towne with me." OUTWITTED. Bobbers Cleverly Foiled by a Train Crew. St. Louis, June 4. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Long View, Texas, says: " The north bound "cannon ball" train on the International & Great Northern was held up after midnight last night near Price's switch, 60 miles south of this city and but for the plucky fight of Express Messenger Charles Rutherford and Baggage Master James Strong and the strategy of Engineer Charles Ritch, another robbery would have taken place. The engineer saw a pile of cross-ties and a lantern on the track and stopped. He was ordered down by three masked men who forced the engineer and fire man to uncouple the mail, baggage and express ears and pull about two miles from the remainder of the train. The robbers then commanded the messen ger to open the door of his car, and failing to get any response, made Fire man Love break a hole in the end with a coal pick. While this was being done, the fire man Tjegged the messenger and baggage master not to shoot. The messenger, who was well protected by a barricade said he would kill the first man to en ter the hole. Love was forced In and the messenger shouted"Get aside Love" as he tired through the hole. His shot Just missed the robbers who undertook to kill the messenger by shooting through the side of the car. In the con fusion resulting, Engineer Rich crawl ed down a ditch behind the cars and up the side of a cut to his engine. He pull ed the throttle wide open and left the robbers behind. A quick run was made to Jacksonville, 15 miles north. At day break the penitentiary blood hounds were brought from Rusk and immediate ly put on the trail of the robbers. This holdup occurred near the vicinity where the same train was robbed five years ago. BABKEB SEES HILL. But Tries to Keep His Visit a Com plete Secret. New York June 4. The Democratic state committee will meet in the Hoff man House at 8 o'clock tonight to agree upon the programme for the state con vention, which will assemble in the Academy of Music tomorrow morning to choose delegates to Kansas City. Former Senator D. B. Hill on his ar rival from Albany went to the Hoffman House, where Wharton Barker of Phil adelphia, who was nominated recently for president by the middle-of-the-road Populists in their convention in Cincin nati, sought him out. Mr. Barker sent up his card to Mr. Hill and was re ceived. When asked what his business was with Mr. Hill, he seemed embar rassed and replied: "I would rather that no mention be made of my visit. Mr. Hill, it is expected will be chair man of the committee on resolutions. It seemed to be conceded last night that the convention would instruct the national delegates, for Bryan. Mr. Hill's resolutions are said to dispose of the money issue by advocating bimetallism at a ratio that will not disturb the parity of all forms of money. John Morton of Rennsselaer will be temporary chairman of the convention, and Eliott Danforth will be permanent chairman. Augustus Van Wyck, it is understood, will be Brooklyn's delegate-at-large with Croker, Hill and Murphy. Mr. Campbell said that he would like to be re-elected chairman of the state committee, but that he would not con tinue in the national convention. He suggested Mr. Murphy for the latter place. Some of the Tammany men think it should go to Mr. Croker. BURLINGTON EOUTE. New Through Train to Potrland and Puget Sound.

New Pastor of English Lutheran Church Heard Sunday. Rev. H. A. Ott, the newly elected pas tor of the First English Lutheran church preached his first sermon in his new capacity Sunday morning to a larger congregation, taking for his sub ject "The Moral Hero," and basing his sermon on l Cor. 16; 13, "Watch ye. stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." Mr. Ott said: "Paul incidentally re minds his readers that they are soldiers of Jesus Christ, as his address is rather martial in character, Jesus being their captain, their orders being found in the Honly Word of God, and their ban ner having emblazoned in it the cross with all that the cross signifies. The text truly is-a trumpet call to Christ's REV. H. A. OTT, Minister of English Lutheran Church. followers. It calls for watchfulness be cause there are pitfalls and stones of stumbling lying all about the Christian as well as lurking temptations which assail us usually in an unexpected mo ment and at the weakest point in our character. It calls for firmness behind the broad shield of faith for in this day of easy virtue and broad liberalism which mocks at simple faith and,-eall3 it superstition, there Is no weapon so valuable to the devout Christian as a deep and abiding trust in the noble principles of our faith. It calls for an exhibition of manliness in action, no bleness of heart and mind, because this element is one of the most charming in the Christian character. It calls for a strong life because the church needs strong men along moral and spiritual lines to live down the reproach brought on it by those who make the church a means to sordid ends." The speaker defined the moralvhero to be one possessing courage, fortitude, bravery, valor, and true gallantry in the moral and spiritual realm. He said that the heroic age was not past by any means, although, it were impossible in this day in w hic-h the value of a hu man life is so highly held, to find a hero like Savonarola, or Joan D'Arc or a hero like Paul Revere in this day of the electric telegraph. Rev. Mr. Ott was chosen pastor by the First English Lutheran church about two months ago upon the recom mendations of some of the leadine- men of the denomination, the church waiving the usual custom of giving the srentle- man a call before he had seen them or they had seen or heard him. And now on his arrival both pastor and people appear to be highly pleased with each uiiier. 'r ."ev- A- ott was born in Ohio in lboo and is now in his 45th vpar He came to Topeka from Quincy, 111., where he was pastor of a large church. Pre vious to the time in which he served the church at Quincy he was pastor of the Memorial Lutheran church at Freeport 111., for eight years. Previous to that he was a pastor in Ohio. Mr. Ott is a graduate of the Bucyrus, Ohio, high school, of Wittenberg college, and Wit tenberg Theological seminary. He en tered the ministry in -1881, his first church being at Xenia. Ohio. TOO MUCH CREED And Too Little Christianity, Says Dr. McGiffert New Tork, June 4. Dr. A. C. McGif fert. preaching in the Madison Square Presbyterian church, said: "In these days.when so much is said about creeds old creeds.new creeds, creed revisions, creeds as conditions of church member ship or of ministerial standing; creeds as denominational platforms or as bases of church union it is important that we should remind ourselves that not creed but character is the supreme aim of Christianity that not in doc trine but in life the Christian ideal finds its full realization. "Creeds are well enough in their place; doctrines are good so far as they go; but, the best creeds and the truest of doctrines become an impertinence when they thrust themselves into the forefront and so engage the attention of any church or of any man that the supreme emphasis is even temporarily removed from the supreme duty of fol lowing Christ. "There is too much thought about conduct, too litttle thought about char acter; too much of the effort to copy Christ's deeds, too little of the effort to possess His spirit; too much imitation Wireless Telegraph System.

Butch Republics to Form a Part of a British Federation. New Tork, June 4. The Tribune's London correspondent writes: The immediate sequel to the war -will be the annexation of the two Dutch commonwealths to the British empire. There will be temporary arrangements for military government, but ultimately they will be converted Into self govern ing dependencies of the crown, like other colonial possessions. As time goes on the same tendencies which have brought about, confederation in Canada and Australia will operate with irresistible force in South Africa. There will be a new Commonwealth bill, under which the united colonies and dependencies of the crown will have as large a measure of local independence and legislative autonomy as either Canada or Austra lia. That this confederation will be essentially Dutch Is evident from the following exhibit of population at the outbreak of the war: Cape Colony, 147, 000 British, 229,000 Dutch; Natal, 51,000 British, 10,000 Dutch; Transvaal, 120, OnO British, 125,000 Dutch; Orange Free State, 7,000 British, 71,000 Dutch, Bechu inland and Rhodesia. 20,000 British, 12.0J0 Dutch. Totals, 345,000 British, 447.000 Dutch. What is unmistakable Is the prepon derance of the Dutch over the British in numerical strength. Natal is tne only member of the group in which British supremacy is based upon popu lation. In Bechuanaland and Rhodesia there is also a British majority, but it is not large. In Cape Colony and the Orancre Free State the Dutch prepon derance is overwhelming, while in the Trar.svaal when the refugees return to Johannesburg the two races will be on terms of eauality involving strengtn. in South Africa as a whole there are at least 100.000 Dutch in excess of the British noDulation. A confederation will he formed with a scheme of repre sentative government similar to that of the Dominion of Canada, or to that which will be brought into existence by the Australian common wealth bill. There will be, unless all signs fail, a Dutch South Africa with a British viceroy. The Dutch will continue to rule Cape Colonv and the Orange Free State, and in the Transvaal they will dominate every district except the mining camps of the Rand. South Africans predict tiint there will be an immense immigra tion of British settlers as soon as the war comes to an end, ana tne para mount influence of the imperial govern- TYiont i established. Thia forecast naturally includes the development of the mining industry of the Rand on an unpreceaenteu scaie when Johannesburg ceases to pay tri- tiiire to Pretoria and native labor is ob tained at low prices, -mere win uw without doubt a large increase of Brit tsh nonulation in tne mining ai&iiui whon the "Transvaal is converted into a dependency of the crown; but it is xy no means certain that immigration will reverse the present conditions oi uuicn preponderance in the other colonies.

The agricultural industries, .are likely to re mam in undisputed possession of the Dutch burghers, who dislike the occupa tions of town life and prefer to remain in the country. The Dutch farme have married in their youth and have had large families. The Dutch popula tion has increased more rapidly tnan the British population during the last bi years. Probably there will ebe no change "in the relative rate of growth during the next 50 years outside the mining districts, and South Africa will remain essentially Dutch in blood. The British government will have at the end of the war a Dutch empire in South Africa, and it will be under mor al obligations to allow these communi ties of an alien race to order their own local administration and to direct their political progress. The lines of racial cleavage will be sharply defined, and the Dutch will stand together and vote solidly whenever they are allowed to exercise their political rights. It may' be a decade before a Dutch government can be supplanted in Cape Colony, and nothing short of the discovery of a fresh series of gold powdered reefs between the Orange and the Vaal will convert This trad-m&tfc d a is on toe end very pcitch V Buy all your Soda Biscuit, Milk in the "Inerseal Patent Package."

The Transvaal, with the richest gold producing district in the world, may be transformed speedily into a colony with more English immigrants than Dutch burghers; but there will be disaffection throughout the commonwealth if the rand be armed with political supremacy. No large manufacturing Industries are likely to arise in South Africa, and. apart from the gold and diamond fields, agriculture and stock raising seem des tined to remain the chief resources of the colonists, the vast majority of whom will be of Dutch descent and deeply prejudiced against mining camp adven turers and millionaire reef owners.

FORMIDABLE FLEET To Be Maintained by Russia in Asiatic Waters. New York, June 4. A special to the Herald from Washingtcfri says: Information has been received in offi cial circles to the effect tjtiat the Rus sian minister of marine" has taken measures to increase the efficiency of the Baltic. Black sea.- Mediterranean and Asiatic fleets. There is a supposi tion in some circles- that the orders given have reference to international politics, but the fact that the cruising programme of the fleets in foreign waters has undergone no change shows that the Russian government simply de sires to be prepared for any emergencies that may arise. Under the instructions given, three battleships, three coast defense ships, one cruiser and the imperial yacht are to be held in reserve in the Baltic, five battleships, three torpedo gunboats, one transport, one third-class cruiser and training ship in the Black sea, and in the Mediterranean the Russian squad ron will comprise one battleship, three gunboats and one torpedo gunboat. The Emperor Nicholas I, the battleship in the Mediterranean, will be withdrawn for the purpose of receiving a new armament. A formidable fleet will be maintained by Russia in Asiatic waters. It is pro posed to keep a guard ship and a tor pedo flotilla at Port Arthur, and to maintain this fleet in Pacific waters at the following strength: Three battle ships, five armored cruisers, one second class cruiser, six gunboats, two torpedo gunboats, and in addition a torpedo boat flotilla. The Russian Pacific squad ron is to be reinforced by one battle ship, two cruisers, two transports, eight torpedo boat destroyers and one second class torpedo boat. HUMOR OF THE DAY.
