Stomach | Troubles In Spring Are THAT BILIOUS FEELING, bad taste in the mouth, dull headache, sleep- lessness, poor appetite.

Whore Jeff Davis Courted. When Gen. Zachary Taylor was in command at Fort Knox, near Vincen- nes, Ind., Jefferson Davis, afterward president of the southern confederacy, was a lieutenant in the army, and wat with his company at the fort. Tradl. tion has it that Davis and Miss Tay. lor, whom he afterward married, took strolls upon the prairie near the fort and that they often seated themselveq upon a large stone which lay on 4 knoll some distance away. It is sald that while seated thus one day Davig proposed marriage to Miss Taylor and was accepted. Davis and Miss Taylor were married at Vineennes, and them. selves told of the courtship on the stone. To commemorate the romantic {ncident Mrs. H. J. Rabb of Vincennes has caused the stone to be removed te the house where it is now to be seen —New York Sun. “A Novel Fence. It is said that in Yellowstone park there is a fence which is composed en- tirely of the horns of the elk, and in- cludes over three hundred selected specimens. None of them has less than twelve and very rainy have fourteen points. They were gathered in June, 1895, by a party of gentlemen who found them during a four days’ hunt, all of them within a radius of ten miles of the Mammoth Hot Springs. Yellowstone Park contains nearly three thousand elks. They shed their horns in March, and during this time are very shy and quiet. Refuge when sick is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetakle Compound.

New Company Formad fo Mise Lead in Ken= {ucky—Japan Gold Fields Promise Rich Returns. Gold is now being found in large | quantities at Hokkaido, in the province of Kitami, in Japan. A territory cme bracing 630 square miles the central point of which is Mount Horo-Noborn, is being worked with such s ndid re- sults that old diggers have styled it the Japanese Klondike. Almost all the gold is found in little pools and streams, which have their source in Mount Horo- Noborn. Until recently there was only a small village in this district, the inhabitants of which numbered about 100, whereas to-day there is a fluorishing city with a population of more than 8,000. As to the exact yield of gold up to the pres- ent it is not easy to obtain reliable sta- tistics, for the reason that the diggers | are very reticent on the subject, evi- dently fearing that if their good for- tune becomes generally known a host of adventurers will flock to Hokkaido from all parts oi the world. It is cer- tain, however, that one company, which has been buying gold from the diggers, has exported ooo kilogrammes of the pure metal within the past nine months. Major John W. Overturi, of Colum- bus, Ohio. has organized a company, incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, for the purpose of mining for lead in Rowan county, Ky. Major Overturi has spent some time in the region in which the company will operate and icels sure that deposits of the mineral will be und Ie has some fine specimens of galena which he found on the property owned by the company. The cnterprise has ample capital behind it and will pro- ceed at once to develop the mines. Ma- jor Overturf has for some time been engaged in the lite in -¢ business in Columbus and is prominent in G. A. R. circles. The company is composed of Ohio and Kentucky men and Mr. Overturi has been elected president. Rowan county is in the wildest part of the mountains of Kentucky and has made its share of the feud history of the commonwealth. Of the copper mines of importance in North America to-day, those oi Montana, Arizona and Michigan are in the front rank, and Rio Tinto, in Spain, stauds practically alone in Furope. Owing to interminable ! its, Dutte's production is not increa . but rather diminishing, and in Michigan, notwith- standing the investment of enormous capital in the opening up of new mines, the increase in production is small. The greatest individual copper mine in this country, if not in the world, is unques- tionably Senator Clark's United Verde. Despite her ample deposits, Ecuador is at the bottom of the f South list. of American republics in gold production, largely on account of lack of roads. From June to October, 1899, the South American Development Comp: 3 ported about $36,000 worth; they ar now shipping about $7,500 per month, It is believed that this product will soon be doubled or trebled. About 1,500,000 persons are employ: ed in the coal mines of the world.

This means the acceptance of the territorial form of government for Puerto Rico as add- ed to the bill by the Senate and other lesser changes on the tariff and other features. The report was submitted to the House. Senator Perrose introduced an amendment to the army appropriation bill providing that all appointments to fill vacancies in the regular establish- ment of the adjutant general, inspector general, judge advocate general, quar- termaster gencral, subsistence, medical and pay departments and the signal corps may be made {rom the volunteer officers now serving in those depart- ments.

Tom Tucker has signed with Spring: field. : Sceond baseman Bonner has signed with Rochester. Pittsburg has “farmed” Pitcher Wil- helm to Syracuse. “Cupid” Childs will captain the Chi- cago team this season. Buelow, the new catcher secured by St. Louis, is showing up well. Albany has signed a deaf mute pitch- er named Taylor, from Shreveport, La. The noted ex-league pitcher, “Dad” Clarke, has caught on with Buffalo. McAleer will likely fill his old posi- tion in center for the Cleveland Ameri- can League club. Hughes, the leading Brooklyn pitch- or, will be depended upon for a good deal of the work this scason. Rome Chambers, the Georgia pitch- ing wonder, unearthed by Manages Selee, joined the Bostons at Greensboro. The retirement of Pitcher McJames, of the Brooklyns, is to be regretted. He was a credit to baseball and a clever young man. Manager Ewing, of the New York club. has become an advocate of bunt- ing. Several years ago he was bitterly opposed to this form of batting. Amos Rusie, the greatest twirler in the history of the New York club, is with that club again. The big fellow seems to be very little over weight. Manager Clark has shifted the Pitts- burg infield, moving Williams over to shert and placing Leach on third. This puts Ely on the bench as a utility man. Ewing thinks that the return to the single umpire system a wise move. “One good man is enough,” he says. “There was more kicking on base de- cisions last year than ever before.” “John A. McPhee, late of Cincinnati, retires from the game with greater cred- it than any player ever achieved,” says Frank Bancroft. “In twenty rs he was never fined by umpire or manager, and never was put out of a game.” the opinion that McGraw will yet land in New York. If he does it will be the first time that a mere player-serf has been able to change the usual magna- terial ukase: “Play where you are or- dred or stay out of baseball.” 1 i | I i | i | | 1 | | i | upon on insured He is terme the ssed througi com n war he He is an author of French MILITARY NOTES.

Entering the Holy Warfare. the first thing for one to do is to carefully interview bLimself; examine himself in the light of the standard presented in the life of the spiritual Leader of the world, Itis not a shrinking, timid, fearful, superficial examination that is needed; neither any- thing in the line of a morbid introspection that takes note of, magniies and con- stantly dwells upon what it sees is unholy within; but a courageous and thor- ough inspection of the inner life, and outer life, too, il necessary. Having learned what needs to’ be done-—-what ought to be changed, repressad or eliminated, and what needs to be encouraged, developed or enlti- vated—then enter upon the holy war with the determination to win a grand vie- tory over every foe. hie resolution to be- come better denl, resolve is not all that is necessary to insure success. To put off the old man” —the old ways of life—and to “*put onthenew man’ of thought and feeling and action, requires that the mind and heart be strengthened and for- tifled at every point. but to The Church Growing in Power, Religion is on the rease in spite of the alleged ‘‘decline of the chureh,” and the next decade is to bs marked 1 most mag- nificent advance of Christianity.

Neither , the generals, the men, nor the public at | home has formed an approximately correct estimate of the difficulties which had to be overcome or of the en- { emy we were to encounter. The Bose fights with his head ,seldom with his muscles: our men fight with their mus- cles, seldom with their heads.

A resolution expressing sympathy for the Boers in their struggle against Great Britain and urging mediation on the part of the United States between the belligerents was adopted the other day by the senate without having at- tracted comment from any one of the dozen or more senators present.

So the story goes,’ soliloquized the struggling author, mailing the thrice- spicuous bravery in the field. ‘If is | magnificent, but it is not war.’ | “It is little better than a very popu- | lar sporting expedition on an immense | scale. You have, no doubt, heard fre- | quently of the ‘zone of fire,’ and have | formed your own opinion of what those words signify. 1 will describe the sit- | nation for vour benefit.

Jn Paris there lives an eminent painter who is economical and sen- tentious. The other day one of the students broke a pane of glass in the studio window and replaced it tem- porarily by passing a sheet of paper over the aperature. When the painter came down next morning he thrust his cane through the makeshift with the remark, “He that breaks pays.” None of the class, however, took the hint, and next morning another sheet of paper was pasted across the win- dow. It met with the same fate. And so on the next day, and so on the fourth. On the fifth day, when the artist came down, there was the pa- How's This? y ca-¢ of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Be Caen C Sure, 7. J.
