By a vote of 10 to 6 the house com-
SUPEBIOK MEEIT.
Remarkable Curative Properties of a
Remedy for Indigestion and
Stomach Weakness
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a preparation for
the cure of dyspepsia and the various forms of
indigestion and stomach trouble, owes its- great
succ&s as a cure for, these troubles to the fact
that it is prepared for disease, and weakness of
the stomach anddigestiveorgansoflZt, and is not
recommended or advised for any other disca.se.
It is not a cure-all, but for any stomach trouble
it is undoubtedly the safest, most sensible rem
edy that can be advised with the prospect of. a
permanent cure. It is prepared in tablet form,
? pleasant to taste, composed of vegetable and
ruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal,
every one of which act effectively in digesting
the food eaten, thereby resting and invigorating
the weak stomach; rest is nature's cure for any
disease, but you cannot rest the stomach unless
you put into it something that will do its work or
assist in the digestion of food.
That is exactly what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets do, one gram of the digestive principle con
tained in them will digest 3.000 grains of meat,
eggs or similar wholesome foods, they will di
gest the food whether the stomach is jn working
order or not, thereby nourishing the tdy and
resting the stomach at the same ttine.and rest and
tiourishtnmt is nature's cure for any weakness.
In persons run down in flesh and appetite these
tablets build up the strength and increase flesh,
because they digest flesh-forming food which the
weak stomach cannot do, they increase the flow
of gastric juice and prevent fermentation, acidity
una sour waterv riatnr. j'i
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found at all
rug stores at 50 cents per package. -y
mittee on merchant marines and fish
eries on February 23 voted not to re
port the ship subsidy bill to tho house.
On February 24 the senate commit
tee considered the appropriations bill
and recommended several increases
over the items as passed by tho house.
One of these items is the payment of
$200,000 to Queen Liliuokalani of Ha
waii in full satisfaction and discharge
of all claims she has upon this government.
On February 24 President Roosevelt
signed the agreement drawn under
the terms of the Piatt amendment pro
viding for the acquisition by tho
United States of a naval station at
Guantanamo and a coal station at
Pahia Honda, both in Cuba. This,
document has already been signed by
President Palma of Cuba.
On February 24 tho "house passed
the Philippine currency bill, accepting
the senate bill so far as it relates to
the islands; the committee amend
ment, striking out the international
monetary conference, was agreed to.
The elections committee of the
house on February 24 reported in tho
"Wagoner-Butler election contest from
the Twelfth district of Missouri, rec
ommending the adoption of resolutions
declaring that Mr. Butler was not
elected and that Mr. Wagoner is en
titled to the seat in the house.
It was announced on February 24
that Mr. Bowen, the Venezuelan plen
ipotentiary, has proposed to the al
lies that tho czar of Russia bo asked
to name the three arbitrators who, as
The Hague tribunal, shall decide tho
question of preferential treatment
The suggestion has been approved by
the Btato department.
On February 27 the senate voted
down a motion to take up the Little
field anti-trust bill by a vote of 28 to
38. With the exception of three re
publican members, it was a strictly
party vote. On the same day the
senate passed the military academy
appropriation bill and the naval ap
propriation bill, the latter carrying a
total of $81,507,412.
Considerable discussion was occa
sioned in the senate on February 26
as to the advisability and legality of
the president appointing senators as
members of commissions. Senator
Hale started the discussion during his
speech on tho sundry civil bill. This
bill, after being amended, was finally
passed by the senate.
The democratic members of the
house recently held a caucus and
adopted resolutions resisting the un
seating of Congressman Butler in fav
or of Mr. Wagoner. It was also de
cided to make a determined effort to
demand a quorum at all times and yea
and nay vote on all measures, and al
though the republicans have forced
through two rules to counteract these
tactics, much delay is being experi
enced in legislation.
President Roosevelt sent a message
to the senate on February 27 urging
that the tariff duties on Philippine
goods be reduced owing to the serious
business conditions in the archipelago.
So many calamities have befallen the
Filipinos that there is grave danger
of famine, and the president thinks
that the repeal of tho tariff on Phil
lippine goods will do much to restore
good business, conditions again.
The Elkins Bill.
The Elkins rebate bill was passed
by the houso by a voto of 241 to 6. Its
salient provisions are all in tho Inter
state commerce act, which for tho
practical purpose of preventing rail
road rebates to tho great trusts Is a
dead letter. Tho only change it makes
in the present law against rebates is
that it abolishes tho penalty of im
prisonment and makes a lino of $1,000
tho only possible punishment for vio
lating it
Under tho protenso of legislating
against the trusts tho Elkins bill real
ly makes things easier for them.

No Promises Were Necessary .
Senator-elect Ankony says that dur
ing his campaign he did not make any
promises in regard to office or enter
into any political alliances. Why
should ho? Ho had tho cash. Seat

For the Removal of Tattooing.
. Those who have been tattooed and
who regret it may succeed in ridding
themselves of these marks by tho fol
lowing process: Pour on the tattooed
portion a concentrated solution of
tannin, then by means of a needle
analogous to that of tho tattooor,
prick tho surface and then rub hard
With a nitrate of silver pencil. There
is formed a slough which falls at the
end or fourteen or eighteen days, and
the operation leaves only a slight
scar, which at tho end of two months
is invisible. Cosmos.
