Dyspepsia
Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating, sick bead*
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres*
sion, etc., are caused by this very common and
increasing disease. Hood's SarsapariUa tones the
stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys
pepsia. Bead the following:
" I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had
but Uttle appetite, and what I did eat distressed
me, or did me little good. In an hour after eating
1 would experience a faintness or tired, all-gone
feeling, as though I had not eaten anything.
Hood's Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount
of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food
reUshed and satisfied the craving I had previously
experienced. It relieved mo of that faint, tired,
all-gone feeling. I have felt so much better since
I took Hood's Sarsaparilla, that I am happy to
recommend it." G. A. Page, Watertown, Mass.

ly advocate thin year the construction
of a number of fast torpedo boats and
small light draught cruisers. It is con

only one choice the navy department's

The president has passed upon the
record of the court-martial in the case
of Col. Compton, of the Fourth Cavalry,
who was charged with failure, while in
command of the military post at Walla
Walla, Washington, to take steps to pre
vent the lynching of a gambler named
Hunt, under arrest for killing one of the
soldiers under him. The court found
him guilty and sentenced him to sus
pension from rank and command for
three years on half pay and to be con
fined to the limits of the military post.
The president approved of the proceed
ings of the court, but mitigated the sen
tence to suspension from rank and com
mand on half pay for two years.

At the Richmond races Wednesday,
Nancy Hanks made a successful effort
to lower her record, going a mile with
out a skip or a break in 2:09 flat, thus
knocking off a quarter of a secern!. The
quarters were 32,'4, 1:04, 1:36i£, 2:09. In
the 3-year old trot Faustina made the
mile in 2:14%', which is said to be the
fastest mile ever made in a race by a 3
year-old, except by Axtcll. Marcus
Daly's 3-year-old, Lady Wilton, then got
in and won the race. The time by heats
was 2:2334, 2:14%, 2:24^, 2:2134. Lady
Wilton wou all but the second heat.
This is one of the greatest 3-year-old
races ever trotted and stamps Faustina
as a phenomenon and Lady Wilton as
one of the best 3 year-olds in the world.
The New York Herald's Valpariso,
Chili, special says the papers are filled
with bitter comments on the action of
the British minister in diverting the
shipment of silver by Balmaceda on the
British steamer to Montevideo and
thence to London. They demand full
indemnity to Chili for the silver valued
at 135,000 pounds sterling. This money
is now held in the bank of England. It
is not generally believed that the evi
dence of ill-feeling towards Americans
will be kept up, except on the part of
the valient blowers,aided by a few news
papers and urged on by the British ele
ment, who are absolutely inimical to the
people of the United States. The firm
attitude of the United States will stop
any nonsense, especially if the firmness
backed by the presence of a few ships of
the white squadron.
Advices from Shanghai to London by
telegraph state that the highest officials
at Pekin and Nankin expect the Euro

also expecting such action upon the part
of the powers that they are preparing to
act when the right moment arrives.
Many young men of the best Chinese
families are connected with these secret
societies. A prominent foreign resident
of Shanghai in the same paper states he
has been asked to send an estimate to
Nankin for organizing troops to be dis
ciplined and armed according to the
English system. The same resident
also said he had been asked to state the
terms upon which he can supply those
fast steam cruisers fully equipped for
war to be delivered within three months.
Rev. Dr. Burchard died at Saratoga,
New York, on the 25th inst. of perito
nitis. Dr. Burchard came prominently
before the public as the author of the
"rum, Romanism and rebellion" cry
raised with so much effect by the demo
crats in 1884, which originated during a
reception to Blaine, tendered by about
two hundred ministers at the Fifth
Avenue hotel in New York. Burchard
was there and had been chosen to ad
dress Blaine in behalf of the clergymen.
Blaine stood on the staircase above the
corridor floor in full view of the clergy
men and others who had gathered to
greet him. Ascending the staircase to
the second step below Blaine, Burchard
spoke, as he neared the cloee of his ad
dress. with affectionate regards and es

these words: "And we admire and wel

The Horrors of Famine.
The London Telegraph's St. Peters
burg correspondent recites the following
tale of woe incident to the threatened
famine in Russia: Dispatches from the
interior are more alarming. The August
frosts destroyed the barley crop, the
staple feed in Archangel. In the ex
treme north the crops have been spoiled
by rains. Straw from the thatchen
roofs is utilized for fodder. The cattle
are'dying by the wholesale on the road
sides—various ministers have issued
conflicting orders, resulting in utter
chaos. Grants of seed corn have been
stopped. Immense tracts of land are
lying waste and a scarcity of corn is
threatened in 1892. A cattle plague has
broken out in many places. The peas
ants in Sogwasky were attacked. Some
veterinary surgeons who have been sent
to destroy the infected cattle died and
several were wounded in a skirmish
The clergymen are becoming beggars.
Women are selling themselves to sup
port their children. No work can be
procured by starving persons. Even the
Volga, shares of the steam navigation
company, have fallen heavily. The new
loan will only be a drop in the ocean. A
large budget deficit is certain, and to
make matters worse ihe 1,000,000 loads
of rye promised by the governor of an
other province, and on which the min
istry had relied, do not exist. This dis
covery has caused consternation. The
famine is expected to reach its acme in
November. The peasants threaten rev
olution unless the czar gives them re
lief. From private sources a partial up
rising is already reported.
Science In lirend Sinking.
At the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society, held
Washington, D. C., the question of the
value of carbonate of ammonia as a
leavening agent in bread, or as used in
baking powder came up for discussion
in which Prof. Baker, of the University
of Pensylvania, and president of the
society; Dr. Richardson, late of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture in Washington; Dr. Wm, McMutrie,
late professor of chemistry in the
University of Illinois; Dr. E. H. Bartley,
late chemist of the Brooklyn, N. Y.,
Board of Health, and professor of the
chemistry of Long Island College, and
others took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment of
ammonia. It was stated as a fact that
ammonia rendered the gluten of the
flour more soluble than the original
gluten, and that the bread in which
this action was produced by carbonate
of ammonia must be more digestable
and hence more healthful, and because
of the extreme volatility of carbonate of
ammonia and its complete expulsion
from the bread in the process of baking,
it is one of the most useful, most health
ful and most valuable leavening agents
known.
These conclusions are borne out by
the very elaborate and exhaustive ex
periments made by Prof. J. W. Mallet of
the University of Virginia, which shows
conclusively that bread made with a
baking powder in which one per cent, of
carbonate of ammonia is used, in con
nection with cream of tarter and soda,
is not only of uniformly better color and
texture, but a product more wholesome
because the ammonia serves to neu
tralize any organic or lactic acids pres
ent in the flour.
The Montana Railroad.
Denver News: The talk of the exten
sion of the central Wyoming branch of
the Burlington to Butte aud Helena,
Montana, has assumed such a tangible
form as to attract the attention of the
kid glove association known as the
"presidents' agreement," which claimB
that such extension would be in viola
tion of tbe terms of the contract, and
hence cannot be built. Commenting on
the fact, the Omaha Bee observes that
the Burlington "never makes an agree
ment which keeps it out of territory
promising as large traffic as Montana,
and it will go on building in spite of the
grimaces of its rivals." It will be borne
in mind that during the past three
months the New York Times has made
several bitter attacks on this branch of
the Burlington as having been con
structed into profitless territory. The
truth is that it ruus through a very rich
section of Wyoming, and one that will
be very productive when developed.
The extension would add largely to its
value and render it at once one of the
important and profitable of the Burling
ton branches. The Times' attacks may
have been prompted by a desire to beat
Burlington stocks, or they have been in
stigated by a wish to prevent an exten
sion into what is now Union Pacific ar.d
Northern Pacific territory.

A special form Salt Lake says: In

members of the Burlington & Missouri

running lines through the Stinking
Water country in the Big Horn basin,
between Buffalo and the Yellowstone
Park, soparated from the main body and
undertook the perilous enterprise of run

Nothing has been heard from them
since, and other members of the partv

the river is frozen over there, not one
instance is on record of any one travel

journey was nearly torn to pieces, and
says it is more awful than the Grand

infinitely greater.
Mnuftacred Chinese Mlui-r».
Vice Consul Bee of the Chinese lega
tion at San Francisco has just received
from Walla Walla, Washington, a state
ment of Hugh McMillan which throws
light on the murder of thirty-four Chin
ese miners on Smoke river, in April,
1887. McMillan makes the statement
which was given him by his son Robert,
16 years of age, just before the lad's
death. Young McMillan, Bruce Evans,
Hiram Maynard, Carl Hughes, "Lide"
Canfied, Max Larus and Frank Vauhn
were in a cattle camp near Snake river
when some one suggested that they
clean out the neighboriag camp of Chin
ese miners. Armed with revolvers and
Winchesters they surprised the camp
and killed twelve Chinese. All the
bodies were thrown into the river. They
obtained over 85,000 in gold dust. Then
they discovered eight Chinese down the
river. These they ambushed and mur
dered and threw the bodies into the
river. Not content with this they start
ed up the river to another Chinese camp
where thirteen men were working and
the same bloody work repeated. The
unarmed Chinese could offer no resist
ance. All were shot and the bodies cast
into the river. Here the murderers
found about 850,0C0, which they divided.
The Bceneof the murder was in Wallowa
county, Oregon. Vice Consul Bee will
do all in his power to track down the
murderers and secure indemnity for this
atrocity.
Boalaneer Suicide*.
General Boulanger committed suicide
Wednesday. His death occurred at the
home of Mme. de Bonnemaine, who re
cently died at Brussels. He stood alone
by the grave of his mistress for some
time when his attendant, who stood near
by, suddenly heard a sharp report in
that direction. Rushing to the spot the
attendant found General Boulanger ly
ing dead upon the ground w'itb a revol
ver clenched in his right hand. Exam
ination of the body showed the dead
man had placed the weapon to his right
ear and fired the shot. The affair caus
ed great excitement at Brussels and
some commotion among the general's
followers. The police and the dead
man's friands of Brussels have taken
possession of his lodgings. The general's
position, financial and political, have
been getting blacker and blacker recent
ly. He had no hopes for the future, and
hie remaining friends were few and be
coming colder as the once famous gen
eral dropped more and more out of pub
lic notice. There is no doubt the gen
eral was conscious of these facts and
they preyed upon his mind. Coupled to
this was a morbid love or infatuation
which he had for his dead mistress, to
whom he was undoubtedly greatly at
tached.

Dynamiting; Fish.
Herald: The law prohibiting ths use
of dynamite for taking fish from Mon
tana streams seems to be inoperative in
some sections. The law not only pro
Mbits the use of dynamite, but also
makes it a misdemeanor to take trout
for sale by any means whatever. In
Meagher county, especially, the law has
been effectually defied and thousands
upon thousands of fish have been des
troyed by giant powder and the largest
and best that could be picked up from
the water after the fatal discharge have
been openly sold in the market at
Great Falls. Fishermen on Smith river
recently report any quantity of dead fish
floating in that beautiful stream and
scattered along its banks. With the
free use of dysamite and irrigating
ditches that are open for the fish to
float out into fields it will not be long
before the boasted trout streams of
Montana will be as barren of life as
Great Salt Lake. Poachers and law
breakers of the character described
ought to be dealt with in the severest
manser prescribed by law, so that a stop
may be put to the wholesale destruction.

A MILLION A YEAR.
Lottery anil Prize -Scheme* used to sell
Alum and Ammonia Baking Powders.
A New York concern, manufacturers
of an ammonia baking powder boasts
that its yearly profits are over a
dollars. While, perhaps, none of the
makers of alum powders individually
can show so large earnings yet their pro
fits are enormous.
A business so profitable, will always
attract to itself those whose greed will
cause them to utterly disregard the ef
fect their traffic may havo upon the
health or life of others.
Alum baking powders are introduced
largely by gifts, prizes and lottery
schemes. A piece of glassware or china,
a child's wagon, sled, a pewter spoon or
some other article of attractive appear
ance, both of small intrinsic value or
cost is given with each purchase or a
number is attached to the can which en
titles the customer to a similarly num
bered article or to a prize of some kind.
It is in some such way as this that the
trade in alum and ammonia baking
powders, which has now attained such
giant proportions and their consump
tion by the public which has reached
an extent which is truly alarming.
The highest authorities of all coun
tries condemn the use of alum in bread
without reserve. In America the most
distinguished physicians, chemists and
hygienists have declared that the traffic
in alum baking powders should be sup
pressed by law. In England and France
where the subject of pure food, and its
effect upon the system, has been more
fully considered and made the subject
®f extended expiriments by the scient
ists, so serious a matter is the use of
alum in bread or other food considered
to be, that most stringent laws have been
enacted to prevent it. These laws are
rigidly enforced, and the sale of alum
baking powders would not be premitted
for an hour. Any one who attempted
to make them for use in food,or attempt
ed to use them for raising bread, biscuit
or cake would suffer severe penalties.
The ill effects upon the system of food
raised by alum baking powdere are the
more dangerous because of their insid
ious character. It would be less danger
ous to the community were it fatal at
once, for then such food would be avoid
ed; but their deleterious action because
imperceptible at first is no less certain.
The puckering effect which alum has
when taken in the mouth is familiar to
everyone. Physicians say this same ef
fect is produced by it upon the delicate
coats of the stomach and intestines.
What housewife would take home to
her family a can of alum or ammonia
baking powder if she knew it. Such
powders do not only undermine the
system, but it is pointed out that am
monia taken into the system in even in
finetisimal doses day after day, imparts
to the complextion a sallow and blotch
ed appearance.
It is safe to discard all baking pow
ders sold with a prize or gift.
What a misnomer are the words
"Absolutely Pure," as applied to baking
powders. Two of the largest selling
brands, one made from alum, the other
containing ammonia and both of these
drugged baking powders have stamped
upon their labels and circulars these
words "Absolutely Poor," as shown by
official examinations.

A man named Billy Stewart, accomp
anied by two friends, started down the
river from Demersville Monday on a
pleasure trip. On their return, when
they were at a point known as the ferry,
their boat capsized and Stewart was
drowned. The cause of the capsizing of
the boat, as told by the men who es
caped being drowned, was that the boat
had a canvas cover, which was used for
the purpose of keeping the sun or rain
off its occupants. This shade or cover
had s tendency to make the boat top
heavy. When they had reached the
point on the river already mentioned a
very sudden gust of wind came up and
caught in the cover and capsized the
boat. One of the men, being a good
swimmer, soon made a landing and the
other clung to the boat. Stewart, being
unable to swim and failing to get a hold
the boat, soon sank to the bottom.
