Dear Sirs : For years I have suffered from Indigestion , Sour Stomach , distaste for food and often no appetite. I tried many different remedies with no result. A friend of mine suggested that I use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I finally concluded to do so. That was over'a year ago and now , 1 am proud to say , I can eat anything and relish what I eat , and my digestion , so far as I can judge is absolutely perfect. I write this without solicitation , as I think such good results 33 have been accomplish ed by your Tablets should be made known , Yours truly , H. S. EMORY , 213 N. 16th St. , Omaha , Neb.

It Is learned thai Chairman Sher man of the house committee on Indian af fairs and also by virtue of his position representative of the house conferees on the Indian appropriation bill has finally withdrawn his opposition to the amendment In the Indian bill appropriating $45,000 for an Indian congress at Omaha. Mr. Sher man's opposition to the measure was bafaed upon what ho supposed would amount to n practical demoralization of the Indians In association with the hurry and bustle of" the exposition. Ho further stated that he understood that Captain Mercer , In charge of the Omaha and Wlnnebago reservation , would bo relieved and ordered to join his regiment. This was emphatically denied by Secretary Bliss , who stated that Captain Mercer would be kept at his post and would be In charge of the Indian congress , should iuch be'ordered by congress. As to the other objection , Senator Thiirs- ton showed Congressman Sherman that In dians who have gone out with Colonel Cody , with but very few exceptions , have come back better Indians than when they left tbclr reservations , and as to the qucs- tlon 'of demoralizing , it was purely one of theory not borne out by practical demon strations.

SENDS CONGRATULATIONS TO VICTORIA Hoard of Home MlHrtiotiN Submit * n Iteport or It * "Work , Glrlnic a Ilcvlew of the Whole Field. WINONA LAKE , Ind. , May 24. Consider able progress was made today In the routine business of the Presbyterian general as sembly' . . Reports were received on home mission work and college aid. These showed an extremely satisfactory state of affairs and were accepted after thorough discus sion , A message of congratulation was stnt to Queen Victoria on her 79th birthday , and before adjournment this evening a reply was received from Balmoral castle. Dr. Henry C. McCook of Philadelphia was called to service with his regiment , the Second Pennsylvania. Before leaving Dr. McCook addressed the assembly , but con fined his remarks to the work and claims of the Presbyterian Historical society. The subject of missionary periodicals , one of the most Important before the assembly , was taken up this afternoon. Secretary Cra ven of the board of publication said he would consent to the proposed consolidation of the two magazines existing at present , but he objected strenuously to the plan of control by a single editor. The report of the Board of Homo Mis sions , submitted to the Presbyterian gen eral assembly today , began with an ex tended review of the work In the whole field , saying In conclusion : In spite of circumstances the financial year has been n good one. The year opened with a cash debt of $147,270 and closed with a debt of $1G7S39 , an Increase of $20- 562. Its size Is accounted for by the change from quarterly to monthly pay ments of salaries to the missionaries in the field. Contributions amounted to $ C9S,940 , a decrease of $93,464 from last year , when special efforts were made. Operating ex penses were cut down by" $7,515 , and ad- Tnlnlstratlon cost $30,578. Par mission work $421,748 was given and for Sunday school work $277,192. The total ex penditures amounted to $722,960 , of which $440 , $0 was for mission work and 5225,850 for Sunday schools. Under the board are 1,393 missionaries , SI.6S2 church members , 2,018 Sunday schools , with 123,622 pupils. Of the 1 , 32 churches under the care of the board , ten became self-supporting during the year. " Ill-licit CurpriMl liy n I.oiui. The net deficit on account of the operation of the Presbyterian building In New York , of which the board Is half owner , amounts to $24,485 , but this amount Is covered by a special loan , to it Is no burden upon the work of the board. It Is estimated that If the whole of the building were rented the board would have a net Income from It of $3,7b6 , besides fre rental for the adminis tration of the board. The Board of Aid for Colleges and Acade mies In Its annual report said the board supposed , Tuesday , July 6 , 1S97 , It held a large amount of cash and securities. The next day It learned that $15.12 constituted Ito entire assets , the treasurer , Charles M. Cbarnley , ha\lng embezzled the remaining $61,239.26. The case was placed In the hands of the surety company which was on Mr. Charnley's bond , and they took him Into custody , but he escaped. Every effort has been made to trace and arrest him , but not a clew bos yet been discovered. An honored friend loaned $10,000 for Immediate necessi ties and members of the board and synoda made prompt and generous contributions by aubrcriptlon , and the board was able to close the year without a deficit and with out using any of the ordinary Income ol the board for the purpose of replacing nearly all the embezzled funds except a small remainder for which It held good pledges. The year had been the most prosperous In the board's history The ex penses have been reduced 20 per cent. The number of students was 2,733 , a gain of sixteen. The receipts were $145,246 and the expenses $102,461. The cash on hand amounts to $243,785. Hoard < iitii n Donation. A telegram was received from the church at Clinton , N. J. , announcing a gift of $20,000 toward the board's debt and another gift of $5.000 from a commissioner was announced , by Dr. Thompson. For next year the board desires $867,000 to pay the debt and prose cute Its work. At the afternoon session a memorial from the presbytery of New York , relating to the resignation of Dr. Brlggs from the presby tery , was referred to the committee on bills and overtures. The assembly decided to take no action on the overture aimed to limit the term of office of Dr. Roberts , state clerk of the as sembly. It was ordered that letters of dismissal or reception should not be given or taken from members going to or coming fiom Christian Science churches , they not being recognized as an evangelical denomination. The regular order of the afternoon was the report on the work of the board of aid for colleges and academies. Upon this sub ject Dr. George D. Burroughs , president of Wabash college , Crawfordsvllle. Ind. , re ported and addressed the assembly. It was recommended that $150,000 be con tributed for the use -of this board during the ensuing year. Dr. Edward C. Ilay of Chicago , , secretary of the board , made a plea on behalf of the so-called small colleges. After a brief discussion commendatory resolutions were passed , and the discussion of missionary periodicals was resumed. Dr. John S. Macintosh of Philadelphia made a plea for the retention of the present periodical , the .Church at Home and Abroad. Dr. Elijah R. Craven , secretary of the board of publication , favored the consolida tion of the church's periodicals , and wouM urge no objection to the removal of the office of publication from Philadelphia to New York , If proper reasons were stated thertfore , but he resented the omission of such reasons as a direct reflection on his board. To the plan of an Independent con trol of the proposed new periodical by a single editor he objected strenuously. The matter went over until Wednesday. Just before adjournment a courteous reply was received to thp cablegram of congratulation ' lation sent to Quqen'Victoria , In the fore noon. It wa.s dated Balmoral , Scotland.

Unless the city council takes some action tonight toward the refunding of the $300 paid by saloon keepers as an occupation tax. the legal representatives of the brew- tries will most likely commence action In i the court to recover the amount. The I ordinance levying an occupation tax of $ : > 00 ! on each saloon was passed May 6 and did1 not become a law until after It had been published In the official paper of the city six times. This ordinance had just become a law when the council passed an amend ment reducing the occupation tax to $200. In every Instance the money paid by the saloon keepers was accompanied by a writ ten protest , these protests , however , being withdrawn when the tax was reduced to $200. Treasurer Broadwell still holds the excess amounts and will wait until some action of the council is taken before refundIng - Ing the money. The council Is criticised for being so slow to take action In the matter , but no one blames the treasurer for de clining to return the money without author ity. Mayor Ensor said yesterday that as far as be could see there was no objection , legal or otherwise , to the refunding of the money , although he thought that the council should direct the treasurer to refund the tax the same as In other catcs where , through error , It becomes necessary to re fund. Should the cases be taken up In court the occupation tax money would be , tied up until a decision was handed down and this , the mayor , says , ought to bo avoided. The license money Is not tied up In any way and Is available for warrants Issued by the Hoard of Education. tlliMrout When Armour Opeiix. Mayor Ensor makes the suggestion that the opening of the new Armour packing house here be made the occasion of a cele bration of some sort. This big plant , the mayor says , has done wonders for South , Omaha and he believes that a barbecue or a ' demonstration of some kind should mark the opening of the monster establishment. I With this Idea In view the mayor proposes to ! call upon Secretary Utt of the Omaha Com- merclal club and ascertain what the busl- j ness men of Omaha think of the scheme. Such a celebration would without doubt i bring hundreds of people here v > ho other- J wise would not make the trip to this city. Officials of the stock yards company arc knonn'to be In favor of the proposed ccle- | bratlon and It Is hoped hero that the busi ness men of Omaha will take hold of the matter and assist In carrying out the pro- ' Ject. Pay for lljilrnnt Srnlrr. Oeneral Manager Bierbowcr of the Omaha Water company has written Mayor Cnsor a letter In regard to the payment of the fire hydrant bill from July 1 , 1S97. to Jan uary 1 , 1S9S. This bill amounts to $3,405 and the sum of $3,000 has remained In the water fund since last fall. Two or three attempts have been made lately to Induce the council to allow this bill , but each time the proposition has been voted down. Man- [ aqer Blerbower calls attention to the fact ! that the water company has been making .extensive Improvements hero this spring and 1 very politely urges an early settlement of the account.
