MERRIMAC HERO
BEATS THEM ALL
President "lumps" Him Over All the
Lieutenant-Commanders and Most
of the Commanders.
Nkw York, March 3. A dispatch to
the Tribune fromiWashington says: The
president's nomination of Richard Pear
ton Hobson, to be advanced ten num
bers troin number one on the lilt of a
itant naval constructors, If said by
naval officers to constitnU the greatest
material promotion as a recognition of
gallantry in the history of the naval
,ervice. It will make Hobson a cap
'in at the age of 30. His advance
ment amounts to 250 numbers iu the
line of the navy which if remarkable In
comparison with Ihe single number re
ceived by Admiral Dewey, eight num
bers by Admiral Sampson and from
three to five frli by inher oflicet dui
ing the war tti'h Spain.
When it its proposed to promote
Hobson to tint f.ml nf ttiB nmdn lie""
tenant iinmand rs, the jump" only
amounted to 150 numbers, but under
the nomination made today, Hobson
'kips over all the lieutenant-command-rs
and goes nearly to the top of-the
commander's list, so f ir as relative rank
Is concerned.'
Of the seven naval ctnstrurtor who
ill coiiili.u inferior to h'm, there
will speedily retire, Constructor Feaster,
next August; Constructor Varnum, in
A pril next year, and Chief-Constructor
Ilichborn, who under the new personal
law, ranks as rear-admi'al, March 4,
1901. At that time, Constructor Hob
son will take the rank and pay of a cap
tain. Not until August 17 following
will he reach the age of 31.
. The j unior cnptain of the navy on
January 1 was Captain Edward White,
commanding the fli.ship Philadelphia,
and he wa9 5G years old when he re
ceived his commission.. , Conetrn.tor
Hobson, therefore gains about 28 years.
In the ordinary course of preoptions in
the naval construction orp", however,
Hobson will not reach the senior posi
tion of chief constructor before 1922, or
ten years before his own retirement, and
in the meantime he will remain 21 years
in the grade of captain, which is nearly
three times as long as officers orJinarly
retain that rank.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLE.
Do Not B; Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.
Heart troubles at least among the
Americans, are certainly Increasing, and
while this may be largely doe to the ex
citement and worry of American busi
ness life, it is more often the result of
weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the, Sympathetic and
Pneumogastrir.
In another way, also the heart is ef
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There Is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
causad by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter
ferin. with their action J henca arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to Improve the digestion and
to Insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This c ii be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drugstores, and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient form.
It is safe to Say that the regular per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Full sized package of these tablet
sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little

Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says: Rear-Admiral Schley has been
directed by the president to accompany
the body of Lord Herschell to England.
This fact has not been given out officially
by the government, but it is officially
announced that the Brooklyn will bear
the body of the eminent Englishman
back to ' his native country, and the
vessel has been detached from the
Havana station and ordered .to Hampton
Roads to prepare for the trip.
It had been previously announced that
Rear-Admiral Schley was to leave the
Porto Rican commission, and would re-
ceive a new sea command. It was

CANAL WILL
NOT BE BUILT
Yaquina Bay and Boat Railway Items
Compromised in Such a Way as to
Stave off Appropriations of Money.
Washington, Match 3.7-The conferees'
on the river and harbor bill have practi
cally reached an agreement. The Nica
ragua canal paragraph will be greatly
modified and will appropriate $1,000,000
for an examination of all routes, under
direction of the president. The repoit
of tbe commission making tbe exami
nation will be made to congress, and io
provision is made for beginning work.
Two items from Orezon which we're in
dispute and upon which there was a
seeming split last night, have been com
promised. The Yaquina bay item has
been modiflej so as to have the project
examined by a board of engineer. The
house yields on the boat railway provii
lon, so far as hot to repeal the law for
the project, but strikes out the appropri

"I have just recovered from the sec
ond attack of La Grippe this year," says
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of tbe
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain' Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for tbe former at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been eqnally as bad as the
first hot for the use of this rmedy as 1
had to gp to bed in about six hour after
being 'struck' with it, while In I tie first
case I was able to attend to business
about two day before getting 'down.'"

Heavy Losses to Sheep Reported From
Utah. Wyoming and Parts of Ore
gon The Latter Shows Lightest
Loss.
Denver, March 6. From report
which have been coming to the bead
quarters of the National Live Stock As
sociation for the past month Ihe officers
of the association estimate the losses
from the recent storms to cattlemen who
have herds on the open ranges at eix per
cent of the entire amount. This, in
round numbers, would amount to over
750,000 head. The reports have been
received from leading stockmen and are
considered accurate as far as they go.
Oregon, Washington and Arizona tuf
fered very little and will hayeonlv nom
inal losses. California is still suffering
from drouth, and the outlook is bad.
The losses in Wyoming, Colorado and
tbe Dakotas as yet have not averaged 4
per cent.
In Northern and Western Texas and
Northeastern New Mexico and through
Southern Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory the heaviest losses have been with
so-called "through cattle," that is,
cattle being moved north from the Sooth
reaching in some sections as high as 20
per cent. Taking the range section as
a whole, for the present time ttie losses
will average 4 per cent.
With the most favorable condition
that can be expected, additional losses
may be looked for before spring, and
should, the weather continue bad
through March a heavy loss will certain
ly result.
In Utah, Wyoming and some part of
Oregon heavy sheep losses are reported.
It is feared that there will also be heavy
sheep losses in Montana. Wyoming re
ports some instances of lofses reaching
as high as 30 per cent, and tome claim
that if March furnishes much bad
weather the sheep loss in that state may
reach 25 per cent. In Western Utah
the conditions appear to bo almost a
bad. In several instances the reports
give the average for this section a being
20 per cent. - These two state are the
greatest mflerers of any reported.
In New Mexico, Colorado, Kami
and Nebraska the reports are not so dis
couraging. Heavy Losses of Sbcep.
Lchk, Wyo., March 0. Heavy lo3ses
are reported In bands of sheep ranging
in the vicinity of Ltisk. The various

dying off. Losses are estimated at from
50 to 63 percent. The Ions of cuttle is

Germany's Asiatic Fleet, to Show
Friendship for America.
Behlin, March 0. A h:h official of
the German navy department has in
formed the Associated Press that the
appointment of Prince Henry of Prussia,
brother of Emperor William, to the
command of the East Asiatic' equailron.
had been considered for months past,
and was finally decided upon as being
the most expedient, the emperor desir
ing to show the Americin people that
he is thoroughly friendly to them, know
ing Henry is popular in the United
States.
When the official referred to was asked
whether the appointment vas equivalent
to the disgrace of Admiral von Diedericbs)
he said:
"Not exactly. If Diederichs bad)
shown more tact last summer before
Manila, it would undeniably have been
productive of good result all around.
Our government, unfortunately, was ad
vised too late of a number of occurrence
before Manila, none of which were really
important, but which showed grave want
of tact npon Diederiches' part.
The above is important, as being the
first German official admission that there
ha been trouble between the Germans
and Americans in Manila bn.
