ACII Now Recognized as a Case of Seri ous Disease. Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart burn or sour stomach, is a form of indi gestion resulting from fermentation of the food. The stomach being too weak to promptly digest it, the food remains until fermentation begins, filling the stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present. This coudition soon becomes chronic and, being an e very-day occur rence, is given but little attention. Be cause dyspepsia is not immediately fatal, many people do nothing for the trouble. It is now well known among the phy sicians that the whole constitution i gradually undermined and weakened, that the nerves and vital organs are 8eriounly affected by any form of dyspep sia. This is plain, as every organ, every nerve in the body is nourished by the blood, aud the blood is replenished from the food digested. If the food is proper ly digested the blood is pure, the nerves steady, but if supplied from a sour, fer menting, decaying mass, the blood is vitiated, poisoned, and the result is shown in sleeplessness, lack of energy, poor appetite, nervousness. Jivery trifle is magnified and the dyspeptic seesnotu ing but the dark side of everything. Within a recent period a remedy has been discovered prepared solely to enre dyspepsia and stomach troucles. It is known as Stuart's Dyspensja tablets, and is now becoming rapidly used aud arescribed as a radical cure for every form of dyspepsia. It is not claimed to cure anything ex cept dyspepsia and stomach weakness in its various forms, but for this it has been shown to be unequalled. The emi. nent specialists, Reed and O'Leary, have recently stated that they considered Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an unfail ing specific for diseases of the digestive organs, and the remarkable cures made in cases of long standing dyspepsia proves that this remedy has extraordi nary merit. Stuart s Dyspepsia tablets have been placed before the public and are sold by druggists everywhere at oO cents per package, it is prepared by the btuart Chemical Lo., Marshall, Mich., and while it promptly and etfectually restores di gestion, at the same time is perfectly harmless and will not injure the most delicate stomach, but on the contrary. by giving perfect digestion, strengthens the stomach, improves the appetite, and makes me worth living. Suit has been brouuht by the United States district attorney for Nebraska against the Burlington Koad for re-con veyance of 177,675 acres of land in the northeastern counties of this state. The petition was filed Saturday, February 29, 1896, in great haste, because after fooling around over the matter for fif teen or twenty years past, the time would have expired March 5, 1896, after which date the government" would have been without remedy. But on March 2, 1896, two days alter the suit was brought. President Cleveland approved an act which passed the senate unanimously. and the house by a more thantwo-thinls vote, extending the time, within which the government might bring suits of this character for five years. There seems to be no reason why any of the settlers owning or occupying any of this land, purchased from the Burlington Road, need be alarmed, even though a sum mons may be served on some or all of them, in this case. The act of coiigrexs referred to specifically exempts lauds which have been sold to bona-fide set tlers and lands which have been granted to railroad coinpannies in lieu of other lands which they should have received but were u n a ble to secu re u n d er t he gran t . The act reads thus: "But no patent to any land held by a bona-fied purchaser shall be vacated or annulled, but the right and title of such purchaser, is here by confirmed." This should bo sufficient to quiet the fears of any person owning or occupying lands purchased of the Bur lington road, and it seems a perfectly useless expenditure of funds of the Gov ernment to serve summons on settlers in tne iace oi sucn an act of conereKs. iNotoiily has congress protected every innocent purchaser, but the United States supreme court, years airo, iu other cases involving railroad land grants, laid down the rule that whatever may be the situation between the government and a Land urant company, the rights of tin innocent purchaser would be protected and in no wise disturbed.

AMERICA'S COMMON ROADS. 8Utltlra Whlrh Show That Cheap High ways Am the Mm Costly Kind. The total length of the common roads in this country, good, bad and lndlffer ent, la estimated by Gen. Stone of the road bureau of the department of agri culture at eomething over 1,300,000 miles. The majority of these roads hav been opened by common laborers hired by local supervisors, and no engineer ing principles have been observed in their construction. As a result it cost more to keep them in repair than it they were as many finely macadamized roads. Keeping these poor roada in repair and opening new thoroughfares cost Massachusetts in 1893, outside of cities, 11,136,944, or $68.30 per mile; New York, $2,500,000, or $30 per mile, and New Jersey, $778,407.82, or $43.25 pel mile. The total expenditure for roada in that year amounted to about $20,000,' 000. Aa a greater part of the enormous sum was apent in repairing poorly con structed roada that would need exactly the same attention next year, It ia not an exaggeration to say that most of the money was wasted. Fine roada can be constructed all the way from $400 to $500 per mile, accord ing to the nature of the country through which they pass, the cost of crushed stone and other engineering problems. The cost of keeping these roads in re pair is Infinitely smaller than that re quired to repair the ordinary dirt roads each winter and spring, when great galleys and ruts are washed Into them by the rains and floods. The secret ol the success of the fine roads in Franc Is attributed to the prompt and systema tic repairs made at all seasons of the year. Manufacturer. Only Beer Ie Sold on Kill Island. Commissioner General Stump of the immigration bureau has sent a letter to Mr. A. N. Hanna, secretary of the Chris tian Endeavor Union of Bel Air, Md in which he replies to the resolutions re cently adopted by the union protesting against the continuance of the "six sa loons" In operation on Ellis Island and stating that the efforts of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to help immigrants landing there have been antagonized and frustrated by them. In hie letter Mr. Stump says that there is no water on Ellis island except cis tern water, which becomes brackish; that the "soft" drinks for sale, such as ginger ale, soda, etc., were distasteful to immigrants; that most of them were accustomed to the use of beer and light wines as part of their daily nourish ment, and that it was thought that the granting of the privilege of selling beer, if properly guarded, would result bene ficially. There are no "saloons" on El lis island; that no spirituous liquors are allowed to be sold, and beer only under strict regulations. He Invites members of the union to visit Ellis island and make an investigation, and if any abuse of the privilege of selling beer le found, or if it be shown that it is prejudicial to the cause of temperance It will be revoked. -WashlngtDn Post.' . - MLLE. LUCIE FAURE IS PRETTY. Is Decided! Literary and Net Given to Out-of-Door Sport. But one picture hangs on the walls ol the bedchamber of the president of the French Republic. That one picture Is a portrait of his daughter, Mile. Lucie Faure. It Is an oil painting, and rep resents a goodly-looking and attractive young woman. The daughter of M. Felix Faure has not the distinctive all of a noble French dame, yet It would be unfair to say that she betrays In any way her plebeian origin. She is an ac complished pianist, says the London Times, and ever willing to play In the evening, when the Faure family and their friends are assembled In the hand some Louis XVI. drawing-room of the villa. It is even said that she is not averse to charming the few leisure mo ments of her father with her musical talent when at home In his private apartments at the Elysee. She Is a great reader, and well Informed upon the different literary movements In France and abroad. She is a brunette, and has all the paternal energetic fea tures. When In Paris, at the Elysee, she takes a walk every morning and a douche bat:, in an establishment very near to the presidential abode. So far bicycling ha3 not seemed to appeal to her, and walking Is her only exercise. She does not even ride on horseback. like her father, who frequently appears in public on thoroughbreds from, his J own stables. During the season. Mile. I aure is to be seen almost every af ternoon in a victoria in the Bols. With her pen, Mile. Lucie Faure made her debut in writing criticisms of the Salon for Havre newspapers. She next wrote the account of her trip to Algeria, which took place when the transatlantic liner, the Isaac Periere, made its first trip from Marseilles to Algiers. A number of celebrities crossed the Mediterranean on that occ !on in tha new steamship, and among the ladies present was Mile. Faure, who wrote the book in question from notes taken during the Journey end in-Algiers. A limited num ber of copies of the little volume were printed, so that at the present moment they are rare. At the time the book was mentioned favorably by some of the critics, and considered a meritorious work. It proved that its author bad plenty of Imagination, and waa not de- "B"1' on the whole. It was in- teresting. It is not likely that she will publish anything more for some years to come, though it is probable that she has penned another book. Mile. Lucie Faure's toilets have been described as much as those of any European princess after any society event, and sometimes before. They are. as a rule, simnle in design, end come from the work-rooms of the leading Parisian dressmakers. Blue and yellow are her favorite colors.

Senator Teller Would Favor Giving Him HU Walking Papers Senator Lodge ,: Take Offense at the Conduct of the Spanish . Representa tive In Impugning His ' Statements in Debate. Washington, March 11. The Cuban question continues to be a di awing card In the Senate, attracting' large crowds. After the journal had been read Mr. Lodge said, he had read on Sunday an interview attributed to Senor Depuy de Lome of Spain, In which the minister called m question the accuracy of a statement made by him (Lodge). Mr. Lodge aaid that he did riot won der at the extreme sensitiveness of the Spanish people, but he did not think this offered any excuse for the Span ish minister in adopting the course he had. Ha was the ex-parte representa tive ol Spain. It was well established that debates in the Senate and House were purely domestic matters and it was not proper for a representative of a foreign country to communicate ex cept inrougn the State department. If an American minister in Eurone dis cussed the political affairs there he would be sent home. Mr.Grayof Delaware saidtha TInltrl States should be unmoved by trouble at Valencia or Madrid. He thought it unruiy worm wnue to stretch sena torial prerogatives and privileges to question a gentleman who had no power to reply m behalf of Spain. Mr. Teller of Colorado said the rule was unvarying regarding a communi cation except through the state de partment There 6houid be no com ment by a foreign minister. Twin had foreign ministers been'sent home lor statements of less imrjortanca man wis. Mr. Teller then turned to tne conditions in Spain. There was a ripple of applause, which the Vice President checked, when Mr. Teller referred to his svmDathv with tha Cubans. "1 would be delighted." said he. "in hear that Havana had passed Into the hands of the insurgents. I wonld ba delighted to hear that the insurgents had ran the Spanish soldiers into the sea," isut, the senator added, whlln had this sympathy, yet he felt no irri tation over the student ebullitions in 8pam. in conclusion, Mr. Teller vig' orously repeated that if the Spanish minister repeated this publio utter ance, tne senator would favor giving uira uis --waimng Darjers." Th Amer- itttu ueouie wouia not tolerate anv dictation or criticism from foreign representatives accredited here. The Cuban discussion ended. Mir A.J . O Turpie took the floor on the Dupont case. Mr. Hoar's resolution nrovidinc that the Cuban question go over until April e, went over until to-morrow. Mr. Hoar said he was in noor health and unable to speak on his resolution to-day. ITS ALL M'KINLEY. Ohio's Repablloan Convention Will Re Unanimous for the Ex-Governor. Coltjmbus, Ohio, March II. There ia a large attendance here for the Keoub- lican state convention. The prelimin ary meetings are more in the nature of McKinley rallies than in the usual contests for places. There is no op position whatever to General Jfushnell, Senator Foraker, Congressman Gros venor and Mark Hanna for delegates-at-large, as they are known to be the men wanted by McKinley. The leaders say there has been so much talk since the publication of Senator Sherman's book about Ohio Republic ans being sincere or solid for any fa vorite that they want to prove their attitude this year in their indorsement of McKinley.

Carthage, Mo., March 11. The Rev. R. K. Maiden, pastor of the'First Baptist church of this city, begins his third year here by giving up his salary of 81,1100 per year, and he will in the future expect only "such remuneration lor his services as his people see fit to give him."
