GOVERNMENT. OF
OUR POSSESSIONS
President McKinley Decides
on a Line of Action.
AN OUTLINE OF
HIS POLICY
All of the Islands to Be Continued Un
der a Strong Military Government
All Fiduciary Positions are to
Be Held By Army Officers.
Chicago, Nov. 15. A special to the
Times-Herald fiom Washington says:
President McKinley has developed his
policy toward Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. There has been much specula
tion as to the form of government to be
given these ielande, and the president
has been studying the problem with
great earnestness. He has decided to
save the country from the blunders of
hasty action, and will delay the final
decision for a year. The statement is
on the authority of one of the president's
most intimate advisers, who gives the
following outline of his programme:
First There will be no extra session
of congress next spring, barring grave
emergencies.
Second The conquered islands will be
continued under a strong military govern
ment. Third All fiduciary positions will be
administered by array officers.
Fourth The islands will be kept out
of politics as much as possible, until the
American people have had an opportun
ity to etudy them and the national senti
ment can crystalize as to the relation
they should hold to' the United States.
Fifth The islands will probably retain
their present currency systems, but these
may be bolstered by decrees, w hich will
Insure stability.
Sixth Being in effect military colonies
the conquered islands will have tariffs of
their own, which will be levied on im
ports from the United States as well as
those from other countries.
Seventh The United States will col
lect duties on imports from the islands
trie same as though they still belonged
to a foreign sovereignty.
The president's programme is said to
be based on the ground that the Ameri
can people are not sufficiently informed
about Porto Rico and the Philippines to
decide off-hand whether they should be
treated as territories or as colonies some
what after the British system. Many
Americans believe the natives of the
conquered islands are not suited to be
taken into full membership in Uncle
Sam's family."
TO CURE NERV-
OUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Means, Make the Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianpa
olis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are snprised tbat they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies ; the real seat of the
mischief is lost sight of: the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in their stomachs,
nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms
of stomach weakness. Nervous dyepep
sia shows itself not so much in the etom
ach as in nearly every other organ ; in
some cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular ; in others, the kidneys are af
fected ; in others the bowels are consti
pated, with headaches ; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour rising
and heartburn.
Mr. A. W. Sharper, of No. 61 Prospect
St., Indianapolis, Indiana, writes as fol
lows :
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a suf
ferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last
four years; have need various patent
medicines and other remedies without
any favorable results. They sometimes
gave temporary relief until the effects of
the medicine wore off. I attributed this
to my sedentary habits, being a book
keeper with little phyeical exercises, but
I am glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstaclee, for I have
gained in flesh, sleep better and am bet
ter in every way. The above is written
not for notoriety, but is based on actual
fact. Respectfully yours,
A. W. Sharper,
61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind."
It is safe to say tbat Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak
ness - or disease except cancer of the
stomach. They cure eour stomach, gas,
loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation, heartburn, constipation and
headache.

ach diseases by addressing Stuart Co.,

OPEN SWITCH
WAS THE CAUSE
Eight Persons Were Killed or Fatally
Wounded.
Kingston, On't., Nov. 15. The Grand
Trunk express from Montreal for To
ronto collided with a freight train near
Murray Hill this morning, Eight per
sons were killed or fatally injured.
The accident occurred at a place called
the Diamond Crossing, about two miles
from Trenton. The express, which was
due at Trenton at 3:35 a. m., ran into
an open switch and dashed into the
freight train.
As told by passengers on the express
train, the accident was caused by the
express train crashing into a train made
up of an engine and three freight cars
which was trying to get into a siding at
some distance to the east of the station.
The express struck the rear van, knock
ing it into splinters. The second van was
set on fire and burned up, while the
other one was overturned. The shock
to the express train was severe, the pas
sengers being hurled from their seats
with great force, the momentum being
sufficient to break off the backs of seats
against which the passengers were lean
ing.
Millions GlTen 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 Buffering. 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 abeolutely cured thous
ands of hopeless cases. ABthma, Bron
chitis, Hoarseness and diseases of the
Throat, Chest and Lunes are surelv
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough-

People of Salvador up in Arms.
New York, Nov. 15. A cable dispatch
received in this city from Liber tad, Nica
ragua, states that a revolution has
broken out in Salvador.
It is only a fortnight since Salvador,
Honduras and Nicaragua joined their
destinies and formed the United States
of Central America. Merchants and
commercial men in this city who are
familiar with affairs in Central America,
how ever, were not surprieed when in
formed that a revolution in Salvador was
reported to have broken out.
DAY OF EVACUATION
WILL BE SET
Commissoners Will Meet at
Camara Today.
SPANIARDS APE
READY AT LAST
Reply to the American Ultimatum of
Three Weeks Ago to be Presented
American Commissioners . Con
fident that Definite Results Will
Be Reached at This Meeting.
New York, Nov. 15. A special to
the Herald from Havana says :
GeneralParrado has informed General
Butler tbat the Spanish commission is
ready to give its answer to the American
ultimatum presented at the joint session
nearly three weeks ago. The result will
be a joint session at Camara Insular on
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. The
Americans confidentially hope that a
full agreement on the date of evacuation
will be leached.
Dr. O'Reilly, who has been ordered to
report in Washington, will leave for the
North by Wednesday's boat to Tampa.
Dr.O'Reilly will urge upon the adminis
tration the immediate necessity of es
tablishing an American hospital and
the organization of a sanitary brigade for
cleaning the city. Careful estimates
have Deen made, showing that the sur
face of the city in the streets and yards
may be cleaned and disinfected at a cost
of not exceeding $20,000. When it is
considered that the expenditure of this
sum would mean the saving of American
lives, it seems mote than criminal that
it Las not already been done.
Beyond building temporary docks on
the Marianao beach, nothing has been
done to make ready for the American
troops. '
From New Zealand.
Rkkfton, New Zealand, Nov. 23, 1896.
I am very pleased to state that since
I took tne agency of Chamberlain's
medicines the sale has been very large,
more especially of the Cough Remedy.
In two years I have sold more " ot this
particuliar remedy than of all other
makes for the previous fiye years. As
to its efficacy, I have been informed by
scores of persons of the good results they
have received from it, and know its
value from the use of it in my own house
hold. It is so pleasant to take that we
have to place the bottle beyond the
reach of the children.

A Rock in Bis Lungs.
La Grande, Nov. 14. While blasting
rock this morning at Meacham for an
excavation, Samuel Collins, an employe
of the O. R. & N. was fatally injured.
The blast was fired prematurely, Collins
and others being struck by flying debris.
Collins, who was the only one badly
hurt, was brought to this city this after
neon and a rock as large as a hen's egg
was extracted from bis lung. Trie mis
sile had entered tiis back, making a hole
as large as a cannon ball, shattering the
shoulder blade and breaking two ribs
into bits. The man will die.
The speech of Father Abraham in the
last number of Poor Richard's Almanac,
published by Benjamin Franklin in
1757, "Contains the Wisdom of many
ages and nations assembled and formed
into one connected discourse." When
first published it attracted world wide
attention and was copied in all the news
papers in America, and England and
translated into many foreign languages.
