Dyspepsia
Is difficult digestion, due to a
weakened condition of the stomach
and its inability to properly churn
the food; or to unhealthy condition
of tho gastric juice, too much or
too little acid, too much or too
little pepsin.
Hood's Sarsaparilla relieves all
the distressing symptoms of dys
pepsia becauso it promotes tho mus
cular action of the stomach and in
testines, aidB nature in tho manu
facture of her own digestive secre
tions, which are far better than
any artificial pepsin, unlocks tho
bowels, stimulates the kidneys and
tones up their mucous membranes.
So prompt is its effect in many
cases that it seems to have almost
a magio touch.
Begin to take it NOW.

WASHINGTON, May 25. Ilobort T. Hill,
chief geologist of tho United States gcolog-

geological Investigation In tho Texas oil
fields and ho embodied the results In a re
port, which says:
"Tho lmportanco of this oil field Ih far
greater than at present can bo described
or estimated. It means not ouly u cheap
fuel supply to tho largest state lu area in
the union, but owing to Its closo proximity
to tide. It promises an export tnulo such
as exUts nowhere else In tho world. Prcpa-
rations nro being mado to sink hundreds of
wolfs and soon tho pretcnt output of 500.00U
barrels dally may be quadrupled.
"It Is entirely within tho limit of proba-
blllty that oil will bo found at many places
mrougnout mo coastal prario, especially m
Ub southern extension toward tho Illo
Orando and in tho northeastern section of
Mexico at Tamalipus. Tho outcrop of thu

t'an Jacinto nnd tho Sablno rivers, east of
tho Houston & West Texas railroad and
south of Oil City, Nagadochcs county. This
area may bo extended or restricted by fu-
turo exploitation.
"It is probablo that other oil fields may
bo discovered in tho coastal plain between
Beaumont nnd Tamplco fields. Hero lies a

In addition to tho kaiser's personal loss,
$2,250,000 belonging to tho "royal nrlncoly
family follclomls" had been withdrawn
from Investment In Prussian consols nnd
dumped into Sanden's banks. Sanden told

to gratify tho royal wish and frequently
earned for tho. emperor ns much as 20 per

Tho duko of Schleswlg-Holsteln, brothor
ot tho empress, is ono ot the heaviest losers.
Sanden's failure swallowed up his wife's

Count Muslenburg, $125,000; master of the

those ladles belong to tho so-called pietist

by attaching supreme lmportanco to the

As a result ot tho Sanden failure, tho
emperor and empress will bo compelled to

Ho has directed that all building operations

At 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon tho Jury,
In charge of tho coro.ier, went to the late
home of Dr. Nason, 2509 Parnani street, to
Inspect tho rooms where tho shooting oc
currcd, and to examine tho body. Their
attention wms called to the sluged lmlr
about the wound, showing that tho pistol
waj held close to the head. They examined
tho windows of tho bedroom and satisfied
themselves that It would have been Im
posslblo for nnyono to have gained access
to tho room from the outside. The battered
bedroom door camo In for Its share of at
tention, an did the queer little doublo-bnr
rcled pistol from which tho fatal bullet
was fired.

" 'Well,' said he. 'the man that just
brought him up In a buggy had to help him
out and bo told mo the doctor had heart

That may be,' I replied, 'but people
often get over that.'
"Then I went to dinner, and afterward
down town to my office. During the oven-

him all night. I knew nothing ot Dr. Na

At tho recent dog show In Madison Square
Garden, Now York, an Incident occurred
that will bo talked about among tho New
York 400 until the noxt dog show occurs In
Janunry. Tho International contest for tho
long-dlstanco lcaper of tho world was tho
crowning event of the week. Lltho grey
hounds from every land woro on hand when
tho day arrived for tho great test. Society
wna all agog over tho affair and awaited tho
tap of tho gong. Ono by one tho groat
leapcrs whirled through spaco and tho mul
titude made tho welkin ring ns each daring
leapcr landed a few inches ahead of his
nearest competitor. Mr. Crocker's Rex was
tho champion and thousands of dollars wero
offered that no successor would bo found to
take his Inurcls from him. Two hundred
flno specimens of greyhounds had tried ouly
to fall and thero was only ono other between
Hex nud the championship ot tho world.
This waa Ilockct, tho prldo of tho Gentrys.
Mr. W. W. Gentry and Trainer Wink
Weaver wero handling Ilockct, and when
tho word was given ho refused tho tni:.
Several times ho was urged to mako the at
tempt, but each tlmo declined tho ordeal.
Mr. Gentry appeared embarrassed and
Trainer Weaver looked disgraced. Had tho
much talked of Ilocket trailed tho Gentry
colors In the dust and stamped himself u
coward? It looked that way to 20,000 people
who had not hcatltatcd to give both owner
and trainer tho merry ha! ha! Mr. Gentry
Is a very sanguine and cool Individual and,
betides, ho had n card up his alccvo that
tho sports knew not of. Hockot had been
trained to decline tho first two commands
In order to glvo strength to his flnal great
achievement. For three years ho had dono
tho samo thing twlco dally whllo perform
ing with Gentry Bros.' famous trnlned ani
mal exhibition and Mr. Gentry know that
not n drop of coward's blood coursed
through tho veins of tho greatest lcarer In
tho world. Ho took Itockot to Now York
to win tho championship nnd before ho left
homo In Bloomlngton, Ind., ho know that
tho championship was within tho easy grasp
of tho great Itockot.. When he landed on
his feet after leaping through forty feet of
space ho lauded tho world's championship
and had nine feet to spare. It was tho
longest leap over made by a greyhound and
It Is no wonder that Mr. Gentry refused
$3,000 tor him ton minutes after his won
derful performance. Rocket will continue
to thrill tho millions who annuallly visit
tho Gontry Bros.' famous trained animal ex
