NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
hat Appetite and Good Digestion
Means. '
MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS
PEPSIA TABLETS.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines. 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 the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the symptoms of stom
ach weakness Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much as in
nearly every organ. , In some .cases the

heart palpitates and is irregular; in oth
ers the kidneys are effected ; in others
the bowels are constipated, . with head
aches ; Btill others are troubled with loss
of flesh and appetite with accumulations
of as, sour risings and heartburn.
It is safe to say that Stnart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak
ness or disease 'except cancer of the
stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas,
loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation-, heartburn, constipation and
headache. .

GOMEZ AN ALLY
. OF AMERICANS
Cuban t. Commander- in- Chief Pledges
Himself to Aid in Securing the
Disbandment of the Army.
Remedios, Santa Clara, Cuba, Feb. 1,
via Havana, Feb. 7. "Maximo Gomez,
commander-in-chief of the Cuban arjny,
placed himself squarely in a position to
day as an active ally of the United
States government. in the work of recon
struction in Cnba.
As the result of a conference which
Robert P. Porter, -special commissioner
of President" McKinley, has had with
Gbmez, the latter cabled to President
McKinley this afternoon assuring him
of his co-operation in ' disbanding the
Cuban army and distributing among the
Cuban soldiers $3,000,000 appropriated
for the purpose of enabling them to re
turn to their homes.' Gomez also tele
graphed to Major-General Brooke, say
ing be would accept the latter's invi
tation to go to Havana.
The success of Porter's mission greatly
simplifies the returning of military Cu
bans to pursuits of peace. In view of
Gomez' supposed prior attitude of hos
tility toward the United States, Porter
came here clothed with absolute author
ity and his tender, of $3,000,000 was
practically a verbal ultimatum. . Had it
not been accepted no more- proposals
would have been made.
' . In brief, the compact is as follows :
First The Cuban officers in each
province shall assist the American offi
cers in distributing the funds. ,
. Second These officers shall at once
meet at some convenient point and de
vise when and where settlements- are to
be made and arrange any other details.
Third The sum paid to 'each man
Bhall not be regarded as part payment of
salary or wages due for services rendered
but to facilitate disbandment of the
army, in relief of suffering and to aid in
getting people to work.
'Fourth The Cubans shall surrender
their arms to the Cuban assembly . or to
its representatives. .
Fifth The committee on distribution
shall use its best endeavors to distribute
the money anjpng the population so all
may secure work.
Sixth The $3,000,000 shall be placed
subject to the order of General Brooke,
and action in the matter shall be im
mediate. 1

Deafness Cannot be Cared'
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by ah. inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. Wheh this tube .is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearings and when it Js en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed, condition of the- mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused bycatarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for. circulars; free.

Hong Kong, Feb. 2. The Filipino
members of the joint commission at Ma
nila have demanded the release of the
launches seized by the Americans ; also
that they be allowed to float the Filipi
no, flag in the waters of the Philippines.
Gen. Otis is said to be in favor of grant
ing these concessions, bat Admiral Dew
ey has refused, not wishing to be com
pelled to keep a - continual outlook for
the smuggling of arms into the islands.
He also wishes to avert, if possible, a
torpedo attack.- The use of the Filipino
flag will permitted on shore. The mili
tary and the police almost daily seize
quantities of rifles and ammunitlob.
The city is thoroughly 'patrolled, - es
pecially at night. " The Filipino tele
graph ; office has been closed by the
Americans, having learned that the
wires were being used to transmit Gen.
Otis' secret ordess to the Filipino . lead
ers. .
Two guns of a Utah battery have been
mounted. There is no evidence that the
Filipinos intend to begin hostilities, but
it is practically a certainty that they
will resist if the Americans attempt to
foree matters. '
The radical independence element
now dominates the Filipino government.
Since the killing of the Filipino officer
by a Minnesota soldier, American offi
cers have not ventured outside of Ma
nila. Foreigners are not permitted to
travel in the interior . without a pass

days against ten days for the former at

would have been equally as bad . as the
