Regarding corsets Bedfern says: "The Corfiet Is the foundation of

Rev. David Jonos Delivered Two Sermon
on the War.
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT IS
JUSTIFIABLE FOR A NATION TO
WAGE WAR AND HE BELIEVES
THAT THIS 18 ONE OF THE OCCASIONS-THOMAS
DURDEN ARREST
ED FOR THREATENING TO KILL
HIS WIFE - PATROLMAN SAUL
TAKEN SUDDENLY AND SERIOUS
LY ILL.
The congregation of tho First Welsh i
Congregational church on South, Main
avenue was treated to two very able,
patriotic sermons at tho regular church
services yesterday by the pastor, Rev,
David Jones. Tho evening sermon j
was a continuation of tho morning dis
course and his theme was "War tho
prorent one and Its probablo results.
In tho morning ho discussed th
question as to "Whether war. under
any circumstances, was Justifiable?"
and while deploring the necessity of
war for nny purpose, proceeded to
show that there were circumstances
under which It was right, and a duty
to no to war. Ho alluded to wars for
mere conquest, and greed of territory,
and for supremacy In the councils of
nations, and unspailngly condemned
nil euch, but was In favor of wars un
dertaken In defense of the weak, or for
the guarding of rights, and for resist
ing oppiesslon.
Then, from tho general question, he
came to the particular one, namely, to
that of the present war with Spain.
He showed that this war was Justifi
able In the light of reason, and of tho
weird of God. Inasmuch as it was a
war for unselfish ends on our part, and
for tho benefit of the downtrodden Cu
bans, and because Spain had failed to
rule according to Justice and good
will. EVENING SERMON.
Tne the evening sermon the question
was further gone Into, showing the
present condition of things In Cuba,
and forecasting tho way out. Tho
speaker described the location and size
of Cuba, Its richness of soil. Its very
great natural beauty, Its nearness to
the United States, Also Its population.
tho possibilities of the island under fair
rule, Its past history and its present
deplorable condition. It was a vivid,
but said picture. He then referred to
tho efforts which the Cubans had mado
to lietter their condition, to, their pres
ent heroic struggle for Independence,
to the way In which the Spanish gov
ernment had met this effort on the
part of the people.
General Weyler came In for a word
In passing, and the word was by no
means complimentary. Inasmuch as by
his actions In Cuba, had been the prin
cipal cause of much, if not most of
the sufferings of the Cubans during re
cent years. In the opinion of the
speaker, the sorrows of the Cubans
were the result of misrule of Spain; for
If the Cubans had been allowed to gov
ern themselves, their condition would
be far more favorable and prosperous
than It has ever been and decidedly
far more so than It Is now.
Some people, he stated, were of the
opinion that the condition of tho Cu
bans was "none of our business, and
that we had poor and suffering people
In our own land, nnd that we should
attend to tho needs of these, and leave
the Cubans alone," Very good, said
he, but added that these very people,
so pitiful for their own kin, were tho
very people who did least for them In
charity or help.
OUR DUTY TO INTERFERE.
Tie believed that It was the duty of
this country to Interefer on behalf of
the Cubans, and believed that our
president and his advisers had taken
the proper course.
Keferrlng to the result of wars, he
thought that now the Cubans would
hav a fair chance to show the world
what stuff tliny were made of, and pre
dicted for tho people a prosperous fu
ture, as soon as thev secured for
themselves what they so much needed
nnd desired, their freedom and indepen
dence. He thought also that the Spanish
government would receive a very ser
ious blow, and that Spain would como
out of the struggle shorn of her re
maining power, which power was far
less than It was years back. He quot
ed statistics showing that the people
of Spain were far behind other nations
in culture and general advancement,
and that Instead of emerging from the
partial darkness they seemed to be go
Into It deeper.
He referred to the utterances of Pro.
fessor Flske In support of his asser
tions and to other persons of author
ity who hold the same views. War
was a terrlblo evil, but out of It good
might come and he believed that tho re
sults of the present war would show to
the world that tho United States had a
just cause.

JAMES BURNS.
Ex-Collector of tbe Port of Kansai City.
Of the men who have occupied positions of public trust In Kansai CJtyv
either by gift of the people or by appointment, none has a more enviable,
reputation for ability, honesty and efficiency than James Burns, Collector o
the Port of Kansas City under Grover Cleveland. He lived to the letter tho
maxim, "a public otllce Is a public trust," and when he retired he carried
with him the respect of everyone in the community Democrats and Republl-.
cans alike. '
James Burns has used Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablots and he does not hesli
tato to say they have accomplished wonders.
"I suffered with dyspepsia for twenty years," said Mr. Burns yesterday.
"Never knew what It was to enjoy life In fact living seemed a burden, aa It
does to all who suffer severely with dyspepsia. A few months ago I began
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. From the first I felt relief, and now, al
though I am still taking them, I feel entirely cured. For the first time In
twenty years I can eat anything 1 want and suffer no 111 effects from it. You
can't Imagine the pleasure of this unless you have been a dyspepsia sufferer.
"I never gave a testimonial for any medicine before, but I feel as If every
body ought to know of this remedy, and while It is personally distasteful to
me to appear in print In this connection, I feel ns If I had no right to
shirk the opportunity to, perhaps help some other sufferers from dyspepsia.
I have been recommending the Tablets to nil my friends, Only recently I
took James H. Llllls, the father of Father LUlis, down to get some, and I
understand he also is being wonderfully benefitted. I can't recommend it
too highly."
