he believed they could bo completely

sert nn amendment providing for iu np-
proprlation of $8,000 for the Indian Buppiy
depot at Omaha, which was opened for busi
ness December 31. inadvertently an npiim-
rlatlon for the depot provided by law sev
eral years ago was left out of the present

on called the attention of tno Indian omco
o tho omission, and they promptly stated
that the Item lu tho boik of estimates for
1002. had been overlooked, and as lho sec
retnry of tho Interior had recommended
$8,000 In tho budget for 1001, corresponding
sums fchould bo appropriated for the fiscal
year 1902, for which congress U now ap
propriating. Senntor Jones of ArKantas, oi me hud-
committee, was somewhat averue to grant
ing this appropriation until tho chairman ot
the committee. Senator Thurston, nau gone
nto tho history ot the establishment ot tne
depot.
Commissioner of Indian AUnirs jonco,

would bo ImpoHBlble lo use tho iimount np
proprlnted beforo tho termination or uio

"I have consulted with Mr. Knight, secre

(iiiitllnem of .iiroprlntlon.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9. The house con
sidered the river and harbor appropriation
bill today. General debate extended through
out the day. Mr. mirton, who Is In charge
of tho bill, made nn elaborate explanation
of Its provisions. Several western mem
bers nssnlfcd It for not containing pro
visions for Irrigating reservoirs nnd Mr.
Corliss of Michigan attacked It for not glv-
ng proper recognition to the Great Lakes
deep wntcrway project.
lu reply to n question by Mr. Hcpuurn oi
Iowa Mr. Hurton said the sundry civil bill
would tarry about $3,000,000 on contracts
tirevlouslv authorized. The total of direct
appropriations for rivers nnd harbors for
tho fiscal year would agnregate nhout
000,000. He devoted some time to giving
tho commltteo's reasons for abolishing the
Missouri river commission. Over $100,000,-
000 had been expended on the river, he said,
with only trlvinl development of naviga
tion. It had less commerce today than It
hnd thirty years ago.
Mr. Clark of Missouri asked If the com
mittee would opposo nil amendment to allow
tho riparian owners along the Missouri river
to build dikes or wing dams.
Mr. Hurton replied that for himself he
would not oppoco such nn amendment. He
thought private owners could best deter
mino what should bo done. In order that
tho Missouri should not be entirely neg
lected, ho added, tho bill carried $300,000
for tint portion of the river below Sioux
City nnd $30,000 for that portion above the
city.
Would the gentleman oppose an amend
ment to confor upon the secretary of war
nuthorlty to uso tho appropriation to con
fine the Missouri river within Its present
limits?" osked Mr. Hepburn.
I should hesitate to nccept such nn
nmendmint." replied Mr. Hurton. "I would
regard that ns Imprncllcablo owing to the
length of the river. The appropriation
would bo entirely Inadequate to accomplish
nnv KCiicral results."
Mr. Wilson of Idaho iiBked why, ns mo
committee proposed to repeal the project
for a boat railway from the Dalles rapius
to Celllo falls. Washington, It had not pro
vided for tho alternative proposition ot tho
engineers for a system of locks and dams?
ilecauso a system nf locus and dams
would cost $1,000,000," replied Mr. Hurton
"We provide for an oxpcndlturo of nbout
$2,000,000 at tho mouth of tho coiumoia in
this bill. If tbo $1,000,000 wero ndded tho
titlo of this bill would havo to bo changed
to a bill 'for the development of tho Colum
bin river.' "
lice tnliuliiK A rlil I.hiiiIn.
Mr. Mondell of Wyoming produced figures
to show that If the money expended upon
tho Missouri nnd Mississippi hnd been used
to reclaim the arid lands of tho west It
would havo been sufficient to build rom
prehenslvo reservoirs at tho head of thoso
streams which would havo prevented Hoods
and Insured navigation throughout the year.
From this ho argued that tho govern
mcnt should Immediately enter upon tho
reclaiming of nrld lands In the west.
Mr. Hell of Colorado argued along tbo
same lines and gave notlvc of an amend
mcnt he should offer to appropriate $300,000
for reservoirs at the headwaters of the
Platte nnd Arkansas rivers.
Mr. Mcllao of Arkansas argued In favor
of nn nmendmcnt appropriating $530,000 for
Improving the Ouachita and Hlaek rivers, In
Arknnsas and Loulslann.
Mr. Corliss of Michigan assailed the bill
He contended that with some exceptions
It was not 'framed In the Interest of tho
general commerce of tho country. Ho
cited tho appropriation for tho Hrle busln,
llrooklyii, an an Illustration of what he
termed a purely local Improvement pro
vided for, nnd declared that tho appropria
tion for Buttermilk channel, New York,
was for the benefit of property holders
nlong the Hrooklyn water front. Ho urged
that tmmenso sums of money could be
saved In Improvements on tho Great Lakes
a ml tho navlgnblo depths of tho lakes could
bo Increased by raising the level of tho
lakes by n system of dams. Tho dams, ho
sold, would raise tho depth of the lakes
at low water two feet.
Mr. Ulshop of Michigan replied to Mr.
Corliss, denying that the committee had
shown favoritism to particular localities
and defied Mr. Corliss to particularize.
"It Is easy enough for a member to get
up here nnd scold," said he, "If ho has
been disappointed in getting something ho
wants."
H. C. Smith of Michigan remarked sar
castically upon the lack of harmony In
tho Michigan delegation.
Mr. Ncwiands of Novnda spoko In favor
of a provision In tlto bill for resorvolrs
at the headwaters of rivers from which
nrld land could bo Irrigated, llo Insisted
that It was the duty of the government to
promote lho use ot water for Irrigation as
much as for navigation.

ST. JOSKPH, Mo Jan. ft. (Special Tele
gram.) Iluek Keith, ono of the best known
bnso ball men and part owner of the Omaha
team, Is severely 111 nt St. Joseph s hos
pltnl hero tonight, from -blood poisoning.
Tho first of tho week he underwent a sur-
glcnl operation at Oinnha and to all np-
penrances It was very successful. Mr
Keith felt so well after the porformaliee
that ho camo to St. Josoph to attend the
Western league meeting yesterday. Ho
was unnblo to leave the sleeper without
assistance. I'rlends took him to the Metro-
polo hotel, whero ho suffered Intense ngony
all day yesterday, and last ulght the oerv-
Ices of Dr. Charles Gelgsr wero enlisted.
After watching the progress of tho ease
Dr. Gclgor was convinced that blood poison
ing had set In. and tho patient wns re
moved to tho hospltnl for a surglenl opera
tion. Considerable decayed nnd diseased
llesh wns removed from tho base of tho
splno by the surgeons, ami n short time
nflerwnrd the pntlent appeared much bet
tor. He Is resting under opiates tonight.
The attending physicians say he will prob
ably recover If tho utmost precaution Is
token. However, they add thnt n fatal turn
may occur any time. Holatlven of tho pa
tient havo been notified of his alarming
condition.
The Sioux City franchise ItaB been irons-
ferred to Minneapolis, nnd Sioux City and
Pueblo will contest for the honor of re
maining In tho Western league. This wns
decided nt the meeting of lho base ball
magnates In this city Tuesday, hut tho fact
was Kept secret until today. President
Hlckey In his statement lo the press de
nied nil knowledge of the transfer, but a
man who attended the meeting says this
notion was tnken. Of Sioux City nnd Pueblo
tno ono offering tho best Inducements will
bo selected. The franchise Is to be sold
nt miction, ns It were. Tho Indlentlonn
aro that Jlloux City will bo dropped. The
fact that tho Sioux City franchise has
been transferred to Minneapolis explains
why President Hlrkey was Instructed to go

Dyspepsia Cure
It is oftcti urg-ucd that when the stomach is unable to
digest the regular amount of food, less should be eaten;
but such a plan can not remedy the cause of indigestion
a weak stomach. Of course, the less food eaten, the
less work will there be for the stomach to do. But at
the same time there will be less nourishment furnished,
and that means general weakening of all the organs of
the body for we can't maintain strength on half
rations.
If we are to cure dyspepsia, we must do it in sonic
other way besides depriving the body of its required
amount of nourishment. The only other way is to cat
plenty of good food and digest it by using a preparation
that will perform that work for the stomach. Kouol
Dyspicpsia Cuius is such a preparation. It digests what
you cat and hupplics the substances needed to build up
the worn out digestive organs. It is an absolute cure
for indigestion and all stomach troubles.
