A Dyspeptic.
"I have licen Buffering for
over two years with Dyspf psia.
For the last year I could not
take a tlrink of cold water nor
cat any meat without vomiting
it up. My life was a misery. I
had had recommended Sim
mons Liver Regulator, of which
I am now taking the Hecond
bottle, and the fact is that
"Words cannot express the relief
I feel. My appetite is very
good, and I digest everything
thoroughly. I sleep well now,
and I used to be very restlcas.
I am fleshing up fast; good,
strong food and Simmons Liv
er Regulator have done it all.
I write this in hopes of benefit
ing some one who lias suffered
as I did, and would take oath
to these statements if desired."

NO MAK'i LAND.
Washington, D. C, July, 20. A peti
tion signed by the residents of Mineral
City, which is one of the neutral strips
known as "No Man's Land," lying south
of Kansas, has been received by the pres
ident respecting his failure to sign the
bill passed by both houses of congress at
the last session annexing No Man's Land
to the state of Kansas. The petitioners
represent that for five years past that
country has been monopolized by large
and influential cattle companies, many of
them foreign corporations, which have
fenced off for their own purposes thous
ands of acres of valuable land, and
whose every aim is to keep out the hon
est and hard working farmer. The peti
tion states that from twenty to thirty
families are daily entering this strip and
locating and building and breaking
ground for crops. The railroads are
making surveys and some are about com
mencing to grade. Towns are springing
up, people are spending their money in
building, yet they cannot get a title to
the ground they are building upon. Bus
iness is impeded and trade is unprotected,
The petitioners ask that their statements
be investigated and such action taken as
will best protect them in their rights.
In reply to the letter from the cattle
owners on the tract known as "No Man's
Land," asking "whether a portion of the
herders occupying th'ct land can form an
organization and adopt a herd law to
govern free rangemen, Land Commission
er Sparks states that no person, organiza
tion or association has any right, or color
of authority, to make a herd regulation
or any other regulations in respect to the
occupation of lands in tho pnblic land
strip.
BRITISH. AFFAIRS.
London July 19. Lord Salisbury's
speech at the Carlton club today was the
last straw upon the back of the over
burdened conservative camel. It was
not only a confession of the government's
weakness, but also a frank admission
that the conservative party is at the mer
cy of the unionists. Several of the most
uncompromising tones present were dis
posed to resent the premier a concessions
to the government's unionist allies and
to declare the independence of the tory
party, of any part y or fact'on not hold-
orthodox tory yiews, but those of them
who were not convinced on the spot will
shortly be made to see the conservatives
are anything but independent. Bad par
ty mana cement, over confidence and short
sightedness in their warfare against
Mr. Gladstone haye resulted in the tory
cabinet's being led into ambush and they
must eet out as best they can. The to-
ries cannot now break with the unionists,
nor can the unionists withdraw from
their alliance with the conservatives.
Neither can stand alone. Both are afraid
to appeal to the country in the face of
the popular feeling as indicated in the
recent elections and there is nothing left
for them to do but to remain in the pres
ent relations or no to the wall.
The lato decisions denote that the
electors throughout the country are
weary of the trimmin-j tactics of the yov
eminent and are anxious for an oppor
tunity to give force to their changed
opinions through tho medium of the
ballot box. The coercion bill has ap
pealed to the sentiment of the people and
the land bill to their pockets, the latter
being the more sensitive spot. V ith
the proletariat there will " in many
parts of the the country be a greater howl
over the adjustment of rents than could
be excited among the same people over
the extermination of the whole Irish race,
except in llornsey, where at the last elec
tion, the conservative candidate was re
turned without opposition and conse
quently there can be no comparison. The
reduction of last year's tory majorities
indicate the tin ft of public and party
feeling, and the outlook is in no wise en
couraging to the ministerialists or their
allies.
The house of commons went formally
in a body to the house of lords this af
ternoon, where royal assent was given to
the Irish crimes act amendment bill, and
it was thus made the law of the realm.
