GREAT MODERN REMEDY!
Paine's Celery Compound Has Driven Out the
Old-Fashioned Cure-Alls,
Ihe old-time tonics, sarsaparlllas, ner:
lnes and haphazard remedies of our fore
fathers won't do In the spring of 1899.
Your great grandmother didn't take
Paine's celery compound any more than
she used the electric light or the tele
graph.
But her children and grandchildren, the
grown-up men and women of today, are
taking this great modern spring remedy
and getting rid of diseases that the old,
unscientific preparations made no impres
sion on— and are making no impression
on today.
Paine's celery compound has as little in
common with any of these obsolete rem
edies as modern, life-saving antiseptic
surgery has with the practice of a few
years ago which was attended with so
fearful a death rate. The half a century
that has elapsed since these old-fashioned
remedies were formulated has been the
most fruitful years in medical discovery.
It has witnessed the discovery of the
most effective medicine the world has
ever known. As a remedy for blood
and nerves Paine's celery compound has
been welcomed by physicians, prescribed
and publicly recommended. No remedy
has ever approached Paine's celery com
pound in its wonderful success with dis
eases and ailments due to nervous de
bility and impure blood.
Paine's celery compound is as unlike
any remedy that has gone before it, and
as superior to its nearest rival, as the
great searchlight ls to the tallow dip. It
ls not a mere improvement nor a de-

The following letter from Miss Louise
Wolcott, one of the officials of the Daugh

the estimation in which Paine's celery
compound is held by persons who have
used It:
New York, Feb. 21, 1839.
Messrs Wells, Richardson & Co.,
Gentlemen— Having for several years
been subjected to heavy strain on my
nervous system and feeling utterly worn
out and discouraged, after consultation
with my physician, I began taking
Paine's celery compound, and am only too
glad to add my testimony to the many
thousands you already have of its efficacy
in rebuilding the nervous system. I now
feel like an entirely different person.
Very truly yours,
LOUISE WOLCOTT.
Were it possible to keep the nerves al
ways strong and in calm working order,
few persons would know what It is to be
ill; but with the changes In climate, work
and worry and the "shut-In" life all win
ter, nervous disorders, more or less se
rious, are unavoidable. Paine's celery
compound should be in every house-hold,
that there may be no delay ln regulating
the nerves when they become irritable,
poorly nourished and are wearing out the
strength of the whole body.

this lake with the rest of the park sys

Glenwood park, of the extreme western
limits of the city south of Keegan's
lake with the Lake of the Isles boule
vard by a drive skirting the western and
southern shores of Cedar lake. It ls said
that a number of the park commission
ers favor the scheme, and that It is more
than likely that something will be done
in connection with the plan at an early
meeting of the board.
Stillwater Electric Line Bids.
The street railway company opened
bids for the construction of the Stillwa
ter electric line yesterday morning. Eight
or nine bids were submitted, but, owing
to the variance in the styles of bidding
of the different bidders, they were not in
comparable form, and no contracts were
let. It will require two or three days'
time to rearrange the bids, and lt is
quite likely that no decision will be ar
rived at before Friday.
-Will Lecture to Policemen,
Last night saw inaugurated in the po
lice department an entirely new idea in
police training which promises to be of
much benefit to the policemen individu
ally and as a department, and to the cit
izens at large. It was the commencement
of a lecture course of instruction to the
force in the duties and powers of police
men and the rights of citizens, outlin
ing as well to the officers the laws which
they are sworn to enforce. It is proposed
that these lectures shall occur every two
weeks, and that every policeman shall
receive the benefits, although care will
be taken that it be not made oppressive
to the officers in taking up too much of
their time.

CJ 20 WASHINGTON AY. SOUTH.
Telephone V 790 J—i.
Gen. C. McC. Reeve, who arrived from
San Francisco, where he and Mrs. Reeve
have spent some time since their arrival
from Manila, yesterday afternoon, ln an
interview with the Globe expressed
himself as highly pleased with being out
of the life of soldiering for the present.
The general and his wife left Manila In
the early part of February, and spent
some time in China and Japan. Both are
looking well after their long voyage, and
Gen. Reeve talked quite freely of all mat
ters connected with the Philippines, the
American policy and such as related to
himself and the Thirteenth Minnesota.
Following is condensation of all points
on which the general spoke:
When I say that I do not care to fight
the Filipinos, you must not understand
that I am not in sympathy with what is
being done out there now. 1 deprecate
this war— this slaughter of our own boys
and the Filipinos— because lt seems to me
that we are doing something that ls con
trary to our principles in the past. I feel
as if this bloodshed, this necessity of
conquering those poor wretches, might
have been avoided. Yet now that the
fighting ls on, now that it seems to be
necessary for Gen. Otis to enforce
his authority as the representative of
the United States, I am ln sympathy with
what is being done. But certainly we are
doing something that we should have
shrunk from, not so very long ago.
One step has followed close on the heels
of another in the development of the
complications in the Philippines which
are now so harassing. It is my opinion
that 100,000 men will be required to sub
due the islanders if they are determined
in their resistance. They have a practi
cally unlimited supply of soldiers, and if
they can get arms for them they will
have no trouble in maintaining armies.
Their persistence in opposing us has been
a great surprise. When the fighting be
gan on Feb. 4 everybody thought that
one severe defeat, one costly repulse,
would disorganize Aguinaldo's army and
practically bring it to an end.
ABOUT INDEPENDENCE.
When our troops first landed ln the
Philippines very few, if any, of the na
tives dreamed of or cared for actual in
dependence. Aguinaldo himself thought
only of erecting a government under
American protection. He personally told
me that he did not think the Filipinos
knew enough about conducting interna
tional relations and enough about finance
and grand administration to set up a na
tion of their own, but that as for the
other functions of government he
thought they could get along very well.
I regard Agulnaldo as a very able man.
I am not of the same opinion as those
who hold that he is a puppet in the hands
of abler men. But soon after we occu
pied Manila there began to develop
among the insurgents a war or absolute
independence party. The chief leader
was Antonia Luna, editor of the Filipino
paper, Independcia, who was at first very
favorably disposed toward us. But the
fact that they were not considered in the
treaty of Paris, but were disposed of for
$20,000,000, caused some of the leaders to
entertain grave doubts as to the straight
forwardness of our intentions. They ar
gued that, in view of the fact that they
practically controlled the whole of the
Islands with the exception of the city of
Manila, the sale of the title for $20,000,000
indicated that the Americans Intended to
exploit them.
Besides this a whole lot of patriotic
sentiment and Independent enthusiasm
had been worked up where it had not
existed before. So things went from bad
to ,worse, our government failing to enun
ciate a policy, and the independents con
tinually putting before the natives their
very definite policy of absolute independ
ence. • One of the stories that received
universal acceptance was that ever since
the Americans had liberated their negro
slaves they had been looking around lor
others and they thought they had found
them at last in the Philippines. It was
rather surprising, with the natives in
such a frame of mind, that the fighting
did not begin sooner. You know how it
came and what have been the events
since. I do not need to dwell on that.
But I can tell you one piece of news that
is not generally known in the United
States.
GEN. TORRES' OFFER.
On Sunday, Feb. 5, the day after the
fighting began. Gen, Torres, of the in
surgents, came through our lines under
a flag of truce and had a personal In
terview with Gen. Otis, ln which, speak
i- n^.w 0r A S uin aldo, he declared that the
lighting had been begun accidentally
and was not authorized by Aguinaldo,
that Aguinaldo wished to have it stopped
and that to bring about a conclusion of
hostilities he proposed the establishment
of a neutral zone between the two ar
mies of any width that would be agree
able to Gen. Otis, so that during the
peace negotiations there might be no fur
ther danger of conflicts between the two
armies. To these representations of
Gen. Torres, Gen. Otis sternly replied
that the fighting, having once begun,
must go on to the grim end. And it has
been going on ever since. The little
brown fellows whom we all expected to
rtisperse in short order are fighting and
fighting well, though they cannot bring
themselves to stand for hand-to-hand
combats.
They are fighting so well because they
have now what they never had in their
wars against the Spaniards-a good or
ganization. Luna has converted this FU

soldiers who can live on next to noth

h?%nr\J U Z f" T thls fl&hting, what can
be done? Well, I am a prophet of good

view of the situation that some of the
newspapers do. I believe that the peace
commission is making real progress- I
believe that the declaration of intentions
V aving a profound effect, an effect
which we do not see at the present time
The men on that commission are able
and at least two of them— Dewey and
Denby-cannot be excelled for handling
Orientals I think, too, that after the
fighting has continued for some time and
the natives begin to realize that fighting
Americans ls altogether a different prop
osition from fighting Spaniards, when
they begin to realize that it means guer
rilla warfare and hardship for years hid
ing in the mountains and living lives of
hunted men, they will think more of
compromise than at present. From what
I have seen of them I do not believe that
the wealthy men who are putting up
money for Agulnaldo will continue to do
so indefinitely. They will get tired of it
after awhile, perhaps very soon, and will
ask for terms of peace. They will begin
to think that possibly the American
keeps promises. At any rate, they will
conclude that it Is worth while to give
us a trial.
„.?. ut if $ hey choose to resist us to the
bitter end and they can raise arms, am
munition and supplies, we have on our
hands one of the toughest problems that
the nation ever confronted. We are not
fighting savages, though when it serves
their turn they may use savage methods
Sixty per cent of the-Tagalos can read and
write. They are very Intelligent, and,
while not inventive, are very Imitative
which is almost as good. Though in one
sense treacherous. In another they are
not. Observe the way Spain's native sol
diery stood by her in the hour of ruin

TALK OF THE THIRTEENTH
Speaking of the Thirteenth. I wish to
assure the people of Minnesota that the
regiment ia entitled to all the praise it
has received. It has done its duly nobly
aad fully. It la a splendid regiment and
the fame of Minnesota is all the brighter
for its magnificent work in Manila I
understand that the Astor battery, the
North Dakota boys and some newspaper
correspondents have maligned the regi
ment I have heard reports that one of
the captains flunked, that some of the
boys were panic stricken and that they
fled to the rear, that they refused to help
the Astor battery men rescue their guns,
etc. Every one of jthose reports ls a
damnable slander. They grow out of
Jealousy.
Outside of the regulars; no regiment had
so many companies 1 in the flght of Aug.
13 as the Minnesota 'regiment. Besides,
our regiment was honored In being made
the police force of Manila. On Aug. 13
not a man ln the Thirteenth was a cow
ard, not a man wa& pahlc stricken, not
a man took to the rear, not a man threw
away his gun, and every man did his
duty. That Astor battery affair is laugh
able. When the guns got stuck in the
mud, and the breech ■> lppks were clogged
and the guns put out of use, we had one
cpmpany around them and a squad of
men under Lieut. Lackore fifty yards
ahead of them. l
So you can see that there was no
foundation for reports about our men re
fusing to help the Astor battery to retake
Its guns. Read Gen. 'Mac Arthur's report
lf you want to know what the Thirteenth
did that day. That ought to be good
authority as against the slanders of men
who were jealous or were not ln the bat
tle. As for Capt. McWade, he did his duty
and so far as I know has made a good
officer. After we first got into the city
and were the police of a foreign city, the
boys did kill a few natives, but lt couldn't
be helped and it had a very salutary ef
fect on the criminal population of the
city.
The Red Cross supplies gave the sick
every needed delicacy. We carried on
the ship fourteen steers, which were
slaughtered for meat as needed. We had
besides some refrigerated meat. It was
no fault of ours that the cooking facili
ties on the Para were inadequate. We
corrected that at Honolulu. I never saw
any wormy meat, and consequently can
not Indorse the story that I advised a
complaining soldier to pick out the worms
and eat the meat.
SOME DISAGREEABLE GOSSIP.
After this general statement, Gen.
Reeve was asked a number of questions
relating to his personal relations with
the regiment and the various stories
about him that have been floating around.
A summary of his statements on these
points is as follows:
It has been charged that I did not use
the regimental fund freely enough. Well,
at first we did not know how long we
would be In the Philippines. Besides,
while we were at Camp Dewey there
was nothing to buy. When we entered
the city I gave each captain $10 to buy
stuff with. They all reported that they
found nothing to buy. And such was the
case at first. Then the people in the
hospitals were very jealous of anything
that we did for our boys there. Still, I
did all that I could and saw that our
sick were provided with delicacies.
If the boys who were in the smallpox
hospital complain against me, it ls with
out cause. I was not In command of the
regiment at the time, and so great was
the dread of the disease that none but
the attendants were allowed near the
hospital.
I presume I did swear at the soldiers
when we were landing, but I deny abso
lutely that I have called any officer or
soldier names. The landing was a trying
matter and some of the troops had been
so slow and so many tipovers had oc
curred that I was anxious to land my
regiment expeditiously and without acci
dents. So, with Maj. Bean, I kept urging
the men to make haste. In doing that I
may have said, "Damn lt, hurry up," or
something of that kind, but I used no
epithets, and I did not address my re
marks at any particular individual. The
chief quartermaster of the army, Col.
Pope, said our regiment was landed in
one-half the time and in better shape
than any regiment landed at Manila.
My discharge was not due to a personal
disagreement with Gen. Otis, for I never
had any. I never heard of this Cuban In
terpreter who Is represented to have been
with Gen. Otis and is said to have had
some trouble with me. which got me into
trouble with Gen. Otis.
"MYSTERY" OF DISCHARGE.
Now for the "mystery" of my dis
charge. Being attached to the regiment,
I naturally desired to come home with it.
When it was reported that the boys
would be relieved by regulars in Febru
ary I wrote to Senator Davis saying that
I would like to get my discharge in time
to go home with the regiment. At that
time we thought there would ne no fight
ing of any consequence with the insur
gents.
Besides, I was the youngest brigadier
general out there, an I knew that Maj.
Gen. Lawton, Gen. Bates, Gen. Wheaton
and other officer* 'were on their
way to Manila, and that when they came
there would be no place for me, because
there would be more brigadier generals
than places. Of course, too, I knew that
it was only a matter of a short time
when I would be mustered out with the
volunteers.
I never made any* personal applica
tion to be discharged, and I have since
learned that my discharge and that of
other volunteer officers was decided upon
when the army reorganization -bill was
settled. Well, I finally got orders in the
latter part of January to report at San
Francisco. I was getting ready ■to go
when the fighting broke out. I offered to
stay In any capacity, but even then it
was not thought that the outbreak was
serious, and Gen. Otis said there was no
necessity for my staying.
After arriving in San Francisco and
learning how serious the conflict was
likely to be, I regretted that I was not
to have a hand ln lt. I wired a friend at
court, expressing my earnest desire to
serve ln the field so long as my old regi
ment remained in service. Although I
have not yet received my papers, I be
lieve my discharge from the army dates
from day after tomorrow — April 27.
I am glad to be' back in Minneapolis
again, and expect to take my place ln
civil life just as if I had not been in the
army for a year. ,
"BASE INGRATITUDE."
Wlllluin Henry Etistis Thus Stamps
Action of Chamber of Commerce.
"I consider it the basest ingratitude. I
stood by the chamber of commerce when
it needed someone to stand for it and this
is my reward."
W. H. Eustis, who '.was a candidate for
governor on the Republican ticket last
fall, delivered himself ,in this style last
evening. ,
The Minneapolis chaijiber of commerce
by a vote of 333 to. Is 3 decided that it
would not build an annex to the building
owned by Mr. Eustis and now occupied
by the organization. Hence the base in
gratitude which ls apparent to the late
candidate for govenor.
The action taken yesterday means that
the position of Mr. Lowry to erect a
chamber of commerce building at the
northwest corner of Second avenue south
and Fourth street will be accepted and
that as soon as the structure is com
pleted Mr. Eustis will loose the chamber
as a tenant.
The ballots for the acceptance of the
Lowry proposition will be cast by the
members of the chamber today.

SHAFTS FOR COPPER.
Fond dn Lac Mine to Be Developed
as Rapidly as Possible.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis.. Apirl 25,-It
is the intention of the Superior & Boston
Mining company to proceed with the de
velopment of the Fond dv Lac mine as
fast as possible. There ls now assured
from the sale of treasury stock sufficient
money to cairy forward the development
of the next year on a large scale. The
company has engaged Capt. Thomas, an
experienced mining expert, of Michigan,
and thoroughly competent of taking
charge of the property. After making
a thorough examination of the property
he entered into a contract for one year.
Camps have been built and negotiations
are now pending for the necessary ma
chinery. The captain believes that the
Parker and the Stewart shafts should
both be worked at the same time with
the Fond dv Lac and it is likely that the
company will decide to save time by
working in all.
The shafts on the Percival mine are
now down to a depth of fifty feet and
night and day shifts are working. A new
shaft has been started 800 feet east of
shaft No. 1, and ls also being sunk as
fast as possible. At intervals west of
shaft No. 1 the lode has been uncovered
for a distance of 800 feet and all the rock
carries copper to a paying percentage
notwithstanding the fact that it ls prac
tically surface rock. Shaft No. 1 will be
sunk to a depth of 200 feet, cross cutt
ing the lode every fifty feet, and when
the depth of 200 feet has been reached
drifting will be done along the vein both
east and west for a considerable dis
tance. A cross cut will be run north and
south to determine the value of the par
allel lodes. The formation is very regu
lar, having a hanging wall of trap sepa
rated from the mineral by a clay goguo.
The lode is between 15 and 20 feet In
width and heavily charged with native
copper. The policy of the company will
be to realize all possible from the sale
of the treasury stock and to push work
vigorously. The company will under no
circumstances contract any obligations
which it will not be able to meet and
will endeavor to protect the original stock
buyers ln every event.

the start, because recent researches have
shown that the most serious, fatal and.
Incurable diseases have their origin in
simple dyspepsia or indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indiges
tion, the sugar and starchy food not be
ing assimilated by the digestive organs.
In Bright's disease the albumen is not
properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases, and it is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a rem
edy that could be depended upon to cure
dyspepsia, as it is notoriously obstinate
- and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike
until the question was solved, three years
ago, by the appearance of the new dys
pepsia cure in the medical world, known
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which It
was claimed was a certain, reliable cure
for every form of stomach trouble.
Physicians, however, would not accept
such statements without first giving the
new remedy many tests and carefully ob
serving results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested In every section of the
country and with surprising and satis
factory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can honestly
be claimed to be a specific, a radical last
ing cure for indigestion in the various
forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach,
gas or wind on the stomach, too much
bile, undue fullness or depressure after
eating and similar symptoms, resulting
from disordered indigestion. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets were not placed before
the public until this three years' trial
left no doubt as to their value, and they
have recently been placed In the trade
and can be found at all druggists at the
nominal price of 50 cents per package.
No false claims are made for the reme
dy. It will not cure rheumatism, pneumo
nia, typhoid fever nor anything but just
what it is claimed to cure, and that Is
every form of stomach trouble.
No dieting is necessary— good whole
some food and plenty of it, and you may
rest assured that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will digest it.
Druggists claim for it that it is a pleas
ure to recommend it to dyspeptics, be
cause it gives such universal satisfaction.

phone companies in general will ba
pleased to know that the women of Now

a point that the postmaster general In
Sydney was appealed to, and he issued
an order forbidding loquacious women
from monopolizing a telephone for more
than ten minutes at a time.
