AFRAID OF CONSUMPTION.
People who lone Arab are in danger of
cormumption. Jnniany chwhIomho! HcrIi
ia tbe first nymptoru of the dread dlMease.
Light weight is too often a sign of some
wnsting disease rhich gets its first start
from indigestion. Curetheindigestion and
health, strength and flesh will be rapidly
regained.
All physicians are agreed that the most
important thing to be done in such cases
is to improve the appetite and digestion;
and if this cannot be done there is very
little hope, for strength, flesh, pure blood
and strong nerves can only . come from
plenty of wholesome food well digested.
This is the reason so many physicians
recommend Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
because of their wonderful invigorating
and nutritive properties. For loss of
vigor, headaches, constipation, sour ris
ings and other symptons of dyspepsia
they constitute the safest, most natural
cure. And there is a good reason for
their success. They are composed of the
natural digestive acids and fruitessences
which every weak stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets rapidly in
crease the weight, the hectic flush soon
leaves the consumptive s cheek, the skin
assumes tbe hue of health, night sweats
cease, the cough dies away and the
emaciation is lost under a coating of
warm, normal flesh.
Taken after meals these Tablets digest
all wholesome food eaten, increasing the
appetite, enriching the blood and soon
remove those miserable feelings which
only the dyspeptics can appeciate.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists at 50 cents for full sized pack
age. A book on stomach diseases and
thousands of testimonials of genuine

RINGS IN ALL ACES.
Dial rings were common in. France
and Germany during the last century;
by holding one up to the sun the time
of day could be approximately ascer
tained. In the seventh and eighth centuries,
at every wedding among wealthy Sax
ons, numbers of gold,rings were given
away to friends as memories of the
occasion.
In the time of Augustus portrait rings
came Into rasnion, probably for be
trothals or engagements. The por
traits of the happy pair were graven
on the setting.
Among Solon's laws there is one for
bidding jewelers to retain copies,
models or impressions of signet rings
which they had made. This was to pre
vent forgery.
Roman dandies in the first, second
and third centuries of our era wore
heavy rings in winter, which they ex
changed for others of lighter weight
during the summer.
Pliny tells of Aurelius Fuscus, who,
being expelled from the equestrian or
der and therefore not permitted to
wear gold rings, replaced them with
those made of silver.
The ring composed of several loops,
which fell apart when a spring was
pressed, was frequently used in the
fifteenth century as a betrothal, and
sometimes as a wedding ring.
Paradise rings were greatly worn in
Italy three centuries ago. They were
very wide and bore on the circum
ference representations of Adam and
Eve in the garden of Eden.
A Mount Vernon Society.
Steps will soon be taken in Maryland
to organize among the women of the
state a Mount Vernon society, whoso
first object will be to perpetuate pa
trioti3m and the second to assist in the
preservation of Mount Vernon, the old
Washington homestead on the Potomac
river.
The Stomnch, Not the Heart.
rooming is more common than for
persons to imagine that they have heart
disease, ana tney often make them
selves dreadfully uncomfortable in con
sequence. In the overwhelming ma
jority or cases, more particularly la
young, nervous, fanciful people, the
heart is as sound as a bell, but the
8tomacn is out of order.

HALL AND DEARMOND HAYE A
DUEL OF WORDS IN THE HOUSE.
BITTER PERSONAL CLASH.
The . Two Missouri Congressmen pBy
Each Other Hot Compliments Over
Their Differences on the Silver
Question Hall to Stand for
Re-Eleetlon on His Sound
Money Record.
Washington, Feb. 15. There was
a clash in the House yesterday
afternoon on the silver debate
between PeArmond and Hall of Mis
souri The gentlemen had paid their
respects to each other before during
the debate, but each in the absence of
the other. Yesterday Mr. Hall opened
by referring to the fact that Mr. De
Armond had mentioned the names of
Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot
"without the apparent courage to
make a personal application." Pro
ceeding, he indignantly denied that
he had been a "Washington convert"
to the cause of sound money and ad
verted to a standing challenge he had
posted in Missouri last summer to dis- i
cuss the issue on the stump. He also
denied that he intended to charge his
free silver friends in-the House with
personal corruption.
"Why should the gentleman feel
that he has been hit?" he asked, turn
ing to Mr. )e Armond. "1 do not
know, unless the solution is found in
the old adage that the bird which
has been hit flutters."
Mr. Hall, continuing, replied to the
charge that he had been posing as the
author of the income tax. liy this
time the House was intensely inter
ested and the members crowded about
the combatants.
Mr. De Armond had fire in his eye
when he arose to reply. He did not feel.
he said, that anyting the gentleman
had said had struck him, but he felt,
as one of the . Representatives from
Missouri, that when the newest con
vert from thai State to the so-called
sound-money doctrine saw proper in
making his platform to class the
Chinese, people from the East Indies
and the depths of Africa and the lower
animals in the category of those who
did not change their opinions, that
perhaps it might not be inappropriate
to. suggest that there might be
changes of opinion that . would evi
dence no tremendous exaltation above
those referred to. (Laughter).
As to the income tas business, he
said, the gentleman had allowed him
self to be paraded as the author of the
bill when he knew he was not. "Ho
said he had been informed and be
lieved that eight senators who had
voted for free coinage," continued Mr.
De Armond, ."had said they believed
it would bring bankruptcy and ruin
to the country. He did not identify
them; he did not name one; ha never
will do it. If eight senators, or one
senator, mads any such remark, he
merely did what the gentleman him
self does not and dare not deny that
he has done.
"Any man has a right to chance his
opinion, but my impression was, and
it has been greatly strengthened that
when a man changes his opinion and
departs from his old associates, he
ought hardly to prate at the first op
portunity about the 'courage' which
led him to do it, or talk about the
'cowardice' (without identification or
specification) that resides in those who
do not do likewise, or talk about the
Chinese and the lower animals as
being typical of those who do not
change when he does. (Laughter). As
to the gentleman's reference to people
'feathering their nests,' I do not know
just what he meant, but I venture to
say that if the feathers are to be had
lor the asking, or the plucking, the
gentleman, if he is around, will jret
his full share." (Laughter and ap
plause.) Mr. Hall bprang to his feet when
Mr. DeArmond sat down. "I do not
wish to emulate the gentleman in
billingsgate," said he hotly; "I do not
expect to equal him in it. 15ut I wish
to reply to some pertinent matters
that he has referred to. He says I
don't represent my constituents. I de
sire to call his attention to the fact
that we have five Democrats here from
Missouri instead of fourteen in the
Fifty-third Congress; that of those five
Democrats three of us are sound
money men (applause) and that the
leader of the 16 to l idea in the United
States is now at home upon his rocky
farm in Laclede county, unless he is
still lecturing to his one-man audi
ence in the South. (Laughter and ap
plause.) "I propose to go back to my district
and make the fight for sound money.
(Applause.) He will go to his and
make the fight for silver monometal
lism. Let the roll call of the Fiftv-
fifth Congress show which is richt. I
have unlimited confidence in the hon
esty, the uprightness, the integrity
and the brains of my people. I be
lieve they will sustain me; I believe I
shall receive their indorsement, and
that the gentleman will come back (if
he come back at all) with less than the
133 majority he received in the last
election." (Applause.)
Our aim from now until Febrnarv. let
hall be not to muke but to get money.
We will therefore sell Suits & Coats at un
precedented low prices. Agriculturalist
visiting Lincoln the coming week will, we
believe, save money by trading with us.

MOB RIGHT AFTER HIM
Sheriff Crarkett lias New Trouble to rut
With His rrisonvr, Lyons.
Crkioiiton, Neb., Feb. 18. Sheriff
Crockett of this county passed through
here Saturday afternoon on his way to
the county seat, having in custody Wm.
Lyons, who is charged with the lar
eeny of thirty head of cattle stolen in
the summer of 1893. The sheriff ob
tained him from the authorities of
Nemaha county, Kansas, on requisition
papers. He experienced considerable
difficulty with the officers in getting
him as they demanded the reward in
advance. The county supervisers here
have had a standing offer of S250 for
his capture ever since his departure
from this county directly after the cat
tle were stolen, Three other suspects
have already been tried and acquitted
on the same charge.
An interview with the sheriff here
developed the fact that he had re
ceived intimations that an attempt
would be made to take his prisoner
from him while on the stage between
Verdigre and Niobrara, and deal sum
marily with him. If such is the case
there will be trouble, as Sheriff Crock
ett is a determined man, and is pre
pared for all emergencies.
SHOOK THE LITTLE TOWN
Bottle Supposed to Contain N'ltro-Glyccrlne
Exploded at Papllllon. .
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 18. At Papillion,
just south of Omaha, Saturday night,
the city marshal saw two men acting
suspiciously, and tried with ffour as
sistants to arrest them. They fled
with a satchel, but being hard pressed,
dropped it. An exchange of shots al
lowed but the fellows made their es
cape. The satchel Wfts found to con
tain a fine kit of burglars' tools, and a
filled water bottle. The bottle was
cautiously placed near a creek and a
shot fired into it. A terrific explosion
followed, which shook the earth for
several hundred yards, all the window
lights in the neighborhood were brok
en, and the man who fired the shot was
so badly injured that he cannot recover
for some weeks. The fluid was pro
nounced to be nitro-glycerine, and the
escape from a calamity is regarded as
miraculous. A search is being made
for the burglars, who, it is thought,
were trying to rob the Papillion bank.
HE IS FOUR DAYS AHEAD
Pedestrian Miller Reaches Fremont Foot
Sore and Weary.
Fremont Neb., Feb. 18. A tired
and footsore man, pushing a wheel
barrow, which was decorated with
flags, followed by a yet more footsore
dog, walked into town last night. The
man was Fred Miller and the dog was
his companion, Guess. The wheel
barrow was lately picked up from ne
cessity. Miller by profession is a pe-
destrian, and holds the long distance
championship belt given him by Rich
ard K. Fox, of the Police Gazette.
Miller does not resemble other cham
pions, and from the appearance of his
clothes would be taken for a tramp.
He is now on his return trip from
NewYork to Denver, walking on a
83,000 wager made by Fox. The agree
ment is that he is to walk from New
York City to Denver and back, leaving
that city September 26 and returning
by May 1, the dog making the trip
with him. He is now four days ahead
of time and expects to win easily. He
left for Omaha this morning.
BOSARTH ON TRIAL.
Evidence Introduced Tends to Show
Murdered Youna; Fawpuj.
Sidney, Neb., Feb. 18. The
He
In-
troduction of testimony in the Bosarth
murder case commenced last Friday
morning and closed for the state Sat
urday noon. The trouble which led
to the shooting of young Fawcus arose
over an irrigation ditch in which both
were interested. Bosarth thought he '
was not getting the amount of water
he ought and trouble ensued when Bo
sarth shut the head gate which kept
the water from Fawcus' land and let
it all onto his land. On Sunday. May
26, 1895, Bosarth made a visit to the
Fawcus head gate on horseback, carry
ing a shotgun. Fawcus saw him and
getting on a horse rode out to meet him.
Bosarth awaited his approach, and as
soon as he came near enough, shot him
dead. The shooting was seen by differ
ent parties, and the case is strong
against the prisoner.
Burned House and Home.
Long Pine, Neb., Feb. 18. A few
days ago the residence of James Lisle,
with the entire household effects, nine
miles southeast of this city, was com
pletely destroyed by fire, which caught
from the kitchen stove while Mrs.
Lisle was preparing dinner. The loss
is very great to the unfortunate family,
amounting to over $1,100, with no in
surance. Under the auspices of the
W. R. C, an entertainment was given
in the opera house here Saturday night
last for the benefit of the family which
was a credit to the local talent and a
success financially. Receipts amounted
to $30 in cash, besides many contribu
tions in the way of provisions and
household utensils.
Fears a Mad Dog's Bite.
Habtington, Neb., Feb. 18. Thomas
Cole of this city, who several days ago
was bitten by a rabid dog, went to
Chicago the other day to try the Pas
teur treatment for hydrophobia. The
wound upon Mr. Cole's hand was slight
and apparently had entirely healed un
til a few days ago it showed unhealthy
signs, became inflamed and festered.
A Leap Party.
Edgar, Neb., Feb. 18. The young
ladies of this place hunted up their
"best company" and gave a grand
leap year ball last Saturday night. A
banquet was had at which toasts were
given and responded to. A splendid
time was had by those present.

SILVER ADDRESS.
Chairman Mott Appeals to the People
of the Country.
WAsniNOTON, Feb. 18. J. J. Mott,
chairman of the national committee
of the Silver party, has issued the fol
lowing address to the people:
"To the People: As chairman of the
national committee, appointed by thr
silver conference lately assembled is
Washington to organize the silver
forces in these United States in thr
battle which is to take place for tht
possession of the government this
year, it is thought proper that I should
make some statement to the people in
reference to it"
The address then goes on with a
history of the silver question, and
continues:
"The peril that menaces the people
In the election of a president whose
administration of the government
means a perpetuation of the present
financial system can only be averted
by the people themselves. It may be
too late four years hence. Present
abnormal conditions do not warrant
belief in the peaceful submission of
the people to further oppression and
impoverishment.

stored and in the proportions found in
nature's storehouse, and as it existed
in Washington's time, when the flag
and the constitution were fresh, and
God seemed to speak to the people
from an open book.
t "The people are enraged, and justly
so. Must they say at last to these
leaders: 'Lo, these many years, have
we sent you for silver, and you have
returned to us without it; you are un
profitable servants and have led us
through the bog and quagmire of dis
appointment We like to honor you,
but you must take us by some other
road and reach our idol.' '
"The men who blazed the way to
the silver conference did well. The
people see the citadel of their liber
ties and are ready for the battle. The
Philistines are at our doors. To your
tents, O, Israel."
