THE MATTER
Germany Indifferent to Fate
of Philippines.
A CHANGE IN
PUBLIC OPINION
Emperor William's Interest in Cuban
War Operations The Question of
American Meat.
Berlin, Oct. 8. There has been a
great change in German public opinion
on the matter of the retention of the
Philippine islands by the United States.
The feeling toward America generally is
much more favorable than a couple of
months ago. The news from the United
States that the govornment at Washing
ton is seriously contemplating holding
the Philippines, is commented upon dis
passionately by the German press, and
it is significant that this week two pa
pers of such standing as the Kolnische
Zeitung and the Vossiche Zeitung have
published long letters from German
merchants settled in the Philippine isl
ands, in which American annexation is
Btrongly advocated. A correspondent
of the Vossiche Zeitung even vigorously
combats Germany making any attempt
to secure a portion of the islands, citing
weighty reasons therefor.
Another significant fact this week was
that a delegation representing German
and German-Swie9 firms in the Philip
pine islands called at the United States
embassy to express their hopes that the
United States would not relinquish the
islands and would not return them to
Spain, which the delegation claimed
would mean a recurrence of revolution
and the perpetuation of commercial
troubles. The delegation also asked if
it might go to Paris and lay its views
before the United States peace com
mission. The United States ambassa
dor here, Mr. White, advised the dele
gation not to do so.
Mr. White does not anticipate Ger-"
man interference directly or indirectly,
even if the United States insists upon
retaining the whole of the archipelago.
Councillor Schwaizenley, formerly of
the German embassy at Washington,
declares that Germany does not dream
of putting obstacles in America's way.
Mr. White had a long conference on
Wednesday la3t with the German min
ister of foreign aGiirs, Baron von Buelow.
The imperial government last winter,
goaded by the agrarians, drew up a bill
to reg'ilate the inspection of American
meat exports. The bill practically meant
the death of the Auierican meat trade,
and, luckily, it could not be made read3'
for production in the reichstag before
that body adjourned. Since then, the
situation has changed. The charges
against American meats have invariably
proved to be groundless, so that the
violent press attacks have ceased. The
government therefore has considerably
modified the bill, which is now much
less stringent, but some of its provisions
are Etill highly prejudicial to canned
meats and sausages. It is expected that
the measure will be introduced into the
reichstag eoon after its convening next
month. The entire right and a majority
of the centrists favor the measure, eo
its passage is virtually assured.
At the scholastic's aunnal conference
at Stutgart, this week, Herr Leionecht
made a speech in which be declared the
socialist party was the only one capable
of freeing the world from anarchism and
war. He further asserted that Prince
Bismarck, "who had more power than
any other one man, was smashed by the
socialists." He added significantly:
"And after we have overcome Bismarck,
there is no opponent we fear."
The speech of Emperor William, up
holding the anti- strikes bill, furnished
material for inflamatory speeches. The
proceedings of the eocialista' congress
brought out clearly tbe development of
the socialists into a parliamentary party
of practical reform. A feature of the
congress was the prominent part taken
by the workmen, whose speeches in
nearly every case were of a revolution
ary character. They scouted promises
or caution.
Dr. Miguel, the minister of finance
and vice-president of the council of min
isters, through bis mouthpiece, the Po
litsche Nachrichten, hau issued a denial
of the newspaper statement to the effect
that the recent epidemics of sickness in
a number of German regiments was due
to American meats. He also denies that
one hundred and fifty cases of trichino
sis at Sandersleben, near Beinberg, were
caused by American pork. All the cases,
he pointed out, were due-to home-grown
pork.
DANGER IN SODA-
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
it was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use it as such will some
day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people practice
almost daily, and one which is fraught
with danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and in the end
the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walla of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it ac
cumulated in the intestines, causing
death by inflammation or peritonitis.
Dr. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest care for Eour stomach
(.acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara
tion sold by drnggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has
time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach derangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver. They are not a
cathartic, but intended only for Btomach
diseases and weakness and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 50o per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed

to attacks of cronp. Whenever an attack
is coming on my wife gives them Cham

prevents the attack. It is a household
necessity in thislcountry, and no matter
what else we run out of, it would not do
to be without Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. More of it is sold here" than

THE PILLAGER
INDIANS ARE
DANCING
Uncertain Feeling in Leech
Lake Country.
MORE TROOPS
HAVE BEEN SENT
Tbe Loss of the Indians Was Six Killed
and Two Wounded Demand for
the Murderers.
St. Paul, Oct. 8. Nearly 200 addi
tional troops will be scattered about the
scene of the disturbance near Leech
lake within a few hours. Two battal
ions of National Guardsmen were sent
np today by the governor for the protec
tion of the Case Lake settlers. At mid
night a special train with ninety addi
tional regulars from the Third regiment
at Fort -Snelling, started north. They
wi.ll be there by morning and will be
placed by General Bacon where they
can best protect the country. This will
make four hundred regulars in and
about Walker and the Leech lake coun
try. Reports from the scene of the trouble
tonight indicate considerable uncertain
ty. The dancing in Bear island is kept
up, and it is looked on as one of the
principal causes for apprehension. Many
Indians have been seen going from oth
er parts of the reservation toward that
island. Whether they will join with
the comparatively small number of the
Bear island Indians is not I nown. The
Bear islanders are claiming a victory
over the soldiers, and this may bring
more recruits. Some of them undoubt
edly are going peacefully to the agency,
as ordered to, for they are accompanied
by their families, which would not be
the case were their intentions of a hos
tile nature.
However a small number of Indians
could do much damage before being cap
tured or killed, for the swain p3 and lakes
are so numerous and the general condi
tions such that the Epldiers, unacquaint
ed with their surroundings, would be
unable to cope with the savages.
An Indian is authority for the state
ment that their loss in the fiht of last
Wednesday was eix killed and two mor
tally wounded. The samo Indian says
they want to light the soldiers but not
the citizens.
Demand For the Murderers.
Walker, Oct. 8. At an Indian coun
cil held at the reservation a demand was
made by the government that the men
concerned in the killing of soldiers near
Bear island be given up to answer to
the charge of murder. The Indians
stated that but nineteen of their number
were in the fight with the troops.
Millions Given Away!
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the needy
and suffering. The proprietors of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Caughs and Colds, have given away over
ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and have the satisfaction of
knowing it has absolutely cured thous
ands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bron
chitis, Hoarseness and diseases of the
Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough

Regular size 50c. and $1. Every bottle

Three Doctors In Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.
"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in the
first place; what experience tells you is
best, to be chosen in the second place;
what reason (i. e.. Theory says is best
is to bi chosen in the last place. But If
you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Ex
perience and Dr. Reason to hold a con
sultation together, they will give you
the best advice that can be taken."
When you have a bad cold Dr. Incli
nation would recommend Chamberlain's
Congh Remedy becauee it is pleasant
and safe to take. Dr. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent enre.
Dr. Reason would recommend it because
it is prepared on scientific principles,
and acts on nature's plan in relieving
tbe lungs, opening the secretions and
restoring the system to a natural and
healthy condition. For sale by Blakeley
