YSPEPSIA IS CURED BY DR-PIERCE3 GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY IT MAKE5 WEA1C STOMAQIS STRONG V IN EXPECT MORE INDICTMENTS 0ns Official Threatens to Disclose Name of a Former Western Con Qressman, and Says Ho Will Name Others Who Are Guilty. Waahlngton, Sept. 21. The Btorir centar of Die great postofflce depart ment scandal has shifted politically tc the San Francisco postofflce. One of the Indicted former official of the post office department made thf statement that at his trial, which wll: come up Bhortly, he would name a former congressman "who ehould have been Indicted, together with others who hare been Indicted." The former official who made this statement had the most Intimate rela tlons for years with this "adminis tration" member of congress. He pro poses to make his dramatic announce ment to prove his belief that, as he says, "the administration is Indicting some people, but Is taking care of Hp friends." latere Is no question that the former congressman referred to has been a constant friend of the ad ministration for many years, and some people here have been wondering why the Inspectors have not been able to get sufficient evidence against hira The course of the administration In the post office at San Francisco, It Is stated. Is the one which Is being moat closely watched by those who assert they are sacrifices to save others. It Is Inconceivable here that there will be only one Indictment on the postal device and Improvement scandal ol Ban Francisco. There Is, however, the best of reasons to believe that the Indicted oltlclal here who Is ex asperated by the trend of events in that case will name a western con gressman and that the explosion, as It were, will be heard from one end of the country to the other. The arrest of State Senator Green of New York on the serious charge ol bribery and conspiracy with George W. Beavers has brought up arrv prominently the (indention, "Did lieu vers and Machen act autocratically It the matter of making big contracts or did they consult with the hlghv officials?"

TWO MORE MEMBERS OF BRITISH CABINET RESIGN London, Sept. 21. Lord Balfour ol Burleigh, secretary of Scotland, and Artliyr Ralph Douglass Klllot, flnan clal secretary to the treasury, havt resigned and their resignations hav bee nuccepted by the king. Mr. El liott was not In the cabinet. These two resignations make a total of fom vacant cabinet posts and one secre taryship at Mr. Balfour's. disposal. With the resignation of Lord Bal four and Financial Secretary Elliot both strong free traders, it is under stood that the ministerial resigna tions are completed and apparently the Duke of Devonshire has decided to remain In the cabinet. It is practi cally certain that Austen Chamber lain. Lord Altlner and Mr. Broderlcb wil take the exchequer, colonies and India portfolios respectively, and the only surprise in I he new appointments is likely to be the nomination of a strong man to the war office to deter mine how far the recoimueudntious ot the South African war commisssiou can be carried otit.

CHAPTER FIVE By Izota L. Merrlfleld CowiuM, ibO$, by T. C. JoVHtire Half way between the Crescent ranch ml the school house lay the western border of the Black Hawk range. If Don Kaston happened to ride to the ridge of low, ragged bnttes above th? little volley trail he could catch a glimpse of the new schoolteacher's hat with the violets on tt when little Snmmte Trent toak her to and fro In the buck board from the ranch to the school. One day Snmmie rode out on the range on his own pinto. Buckeye, and told Don the uews. "We've got the new teacher at our place, Don. She's a Jim Dandy too. Pop let mo go to school with the rest of the kids just because she said t was wasting my talent hoeing round. Sw ain't a real teacher either. She's study ing us folks. .Tumping Moses, Don, you ought to hertr her talk. And she's going to study you pretty soon. You're chap ter 5 on herders." "Is she homely, Sammle?" Don asked gently. Sam in ie shut one eye nnd clucked his tongue hungrily. "tilitmie two crnckers and a dried herring and I'll tell," he said. Don bargained and handed over two crackers with the herring in id be tween. Sammie munched contentedly. It was a long way from the ranch. "Her hair's kind of pretty. It don't curl up exactly, but It kinks a little when the wind blows. And It's brown. kind of. And she mllcs sweet ns atiy thing, and her eyes are blue, kind of, and she's awful gritty. She's learning to ride, and she fell off once and never yowled a bit." A week nfter this the buckboiird wan discarded, find l'ou saw .Siitnmie rid by on the plnio. while the schoolteach er whs on a simill lightweight black and white pony. Sometimes whe went by alone, s the diiys piinscd and her confidence grew. Don would leave the sheep with Hit dug und wnteu for her at sunset, lying face dowuwnrtl In the soft, thick grass on the edge of the buttes. He could see her from the time she passed the cot ton wood that fringed the divide until she turned the corner of Big Butte far down the val ley, and beyond the way was clear to the ranch. There was a secret satisfaction to him la this self Imposed sentinel duty over her loueiy ride. It was a welcome break In the monotony of his life, and he dreaded the time when the grass and water would give out and be would have to move farther on to new range. Wheu the spriug days came and the wild flowers lay like a royal carpet for the feet of the black and white pony Ui schoolteacher would dismount and gather Uem on her way through the valley. Then came a day when the sent! mil saw from his poet that she wa In trouble. Th black and white pony had wandered ahead of her. crop ping the grass slid new clover, when suddenly he pitched forward, one fort K-g sinking deeply iu'o n bearer hole. Vit!i his heart aflame, Don had gone in the rescue and pulled (he pony out The imkle was sprained, and she limp ed badly. Ktunhtm; beneath his tan. ht had told the schoolteacher who ht whs. Just one of the Crescent herder, und bad ottered her his horse to ride home on. She had accepted thankfully, aud Sammle wag nvnt after the InnW pony the next day. "Ain't she i thoroughbred, though?" he silked, chewing on a hit of ring roof he had found down- uear the creek. ' Her name's Mnrjorie Allan." "When is she coming to study chap ter 5?" asked Don carelessly. "Guess she hasn't got that far yet," returned Samiiile serlounly. "She's studying dowers and bees and birds nnd things now." "Sau)ui!e"tbe herder's voice wna gentle nnd parsuasjre"dont you WRnt a Job herding sheep along about sun set?" "What you got that's better than her rings;" asked Hnmniie In mild Interest.

Summle looked at aim shrewdly while he cracked a ewltch at a few mosquitoes that were feasting on the pfnto's mottled hide. "She's Just a girl, even If she did come from Kansas City and writes books and things," he said pleasantly. "Did she throw you down, Don?" The herder was silent. " 'Cause you're Just a herder?" "Go home' said the other gently without looking at bfm, but Sammle saw the clinched hands and be rode away whistling. Three weeks later there came new to the ranch. The herder on the Black Hawk had moved his sheep eight miles northward toward the Biff Horn country, aud there were growling among the cattlemen up there over hte encroaching ou their territory. "But Isn't the range free?" asked the schoolteacher when Sammle explained matters to her. "Youdassentsay so nowadays less 'a you've got a gun to back It up," said Snmmie. "Pop thinks Don will get alt the trouble he's looking for." Miss Allan looked at him, her blue eyes grave and anxious. "What will they do to himr "Chase him off and scatter the aheeo. Maybe let a little daylight Into htm It he stops to argue," "Are we fat from him?" "He's about four or Ave mllee north east 1 guess. We could see the smoke. If they flred the grass or his wagon," he added encouragingly. Miss Allan was silent, and Sammle smiled at the plnto's ears. She was getting to chapter 5, be decided, on herders. And he saw, too, that she rode out of her way every day to get a view of tlie range. And every night at the ranch she asked If news had come from the cnttlemen. But all was quiet until one day the U'hoolterteber bad remained later than usual. Sum in te did not question when she turned away from the home path aud rode up the bill milll they toadied n pot winM'o the range lay before litem. Tar to the northeast n faint line, of smoke trailed lazily up lo the clouds, anil she held her breath as alio watched it. "Sammle." she cried, her hands grip ping the pony's bridle tightly, her face paling, "Sammie, what is ll?" "Juki smoke." suit! Sammle shortly, knowing what lay behind the appeal. "I guess we can make it lu nn hour. Less 'n they've fixed him already." But she rode on beside him fearless ly until they had passed scattered, frightened groups of what sheep were left, ami balled beside the smoking ruins of the herder's wagon.

While Snmmie stood with wide, scared eyes, she told him to run to the creek and briug water, then to ride on to the ranch for help. With the water Sammie had brought her she bathed the wound and kept his parched Hps moist, and the. black and white pony moved up and down like a restless shadow between her aod the charred wagon. Once he opened his eyes and stared up nt her in wonder, and she laid her hand lightly on his hot forehead. "1 am sorry." she said softly, and the pony moved nut of hearing aa be an swered her.

Ain't aha a thoroughbred?' Don smiled nt him In proud assent, and moved his bandaged head in a half nod. "How's chapter 6 on Uerderar" asked Sammle hi a whisper. "All done," said Don, his eyes bright with happiness. "Next one's on wed dings, but there's a herder In It, too, and she's going to take the leading part." Stomach Trouble?
