Stomach troubles are so common and In many cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy olalmlns to be a radical, permanent onto for dyspepsia and Indigestion. Many sltoh pride thempelvM on their aeuteness In norer being humtittitged, osiieclally on medicines. This fear of lielng humbugged may 1 e can led too far; so far, In fact, that many persons suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims of a preparation so reliable and universally used ns 8tnart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet are vastly different In ono Important respect from or dinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine. no secret la made of their Ingredients, but analysis shows them to cuutaln the nstninl digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive arids, Unldeti Seal, bismuth, liy drastls and mix. They are not cathartic neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure Indigestion on the common sense plan of dictating the food ealou promptly, thoroughly before it lias thno'to ferment, sour and cause tho mischief. This la tho only secret of thsir success. CatbarUn pills never lrava and never can euro indigestion and stomach troubles be cause they act entirely upon tho bowels, whereas tho whole troublo is really In the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after meals, direst tho food. That is all there Is to it.

A Michigan Man Offers to Send Ills Dis covery Free. Claims to Be a Benefactor to Weakened Mankind. There Is always more or less suspicion attached to anything that is offered free but sometimes a mau so overflows with generosity that lie cannot rest until his discovery Is known to the world, In order tliat his fellow men mav nroSt by what he has discovered. It is upon tins principal mat a resident ot Kalamaxoo, Mich., desires to send free to mankind a prescription which will cure them of any form of nervous debility ; relieves them of all the doubt and uncertainty which such men are peculiarly liable to and restores the organs to natural size and vigor. As it costs nothing to try the experiment it would seem that any man, suffering with the nervous troubles that usually at tuck men who never stopped to realize what might fee the final result, ought to lie deeply interested in a remedy which will rostore them to health, strength and vigor, without whloh they continue to live an existence of untold misery. As the remedy in question was the result of many years research as to what combination would be peculiarly effective1 in restoring to men the strengtii they need, it would seem that all men suffering with any form of nervous weakness ought to write fur such a remedy at once.

"Ko colony in the world, with the exceptions of Can ada and New South Wales, will have as large measure of liberty as Cuba will have when the new reform scheme Is fully developed," said Senor Dupuy Do Lome, the Spanish minister. The minister had before him the full pro ject for the reformation of the system of government of Cuba as gazetted In Madrid Saturday, and had been an alyzing1 the document with this result. He pointed out that under the projeot there could no longer be complaint that the Island was governed by offi cials In Madrid or by people sent from Spain for the purpose, and that here after. If the plan is enforced, the citi zens of Cuba themselves would govern their Island. He answered in advance the criticism that the government had undertaken to institute reforms, par ticularly In the Judicial system of the Island, that were beyond its constitu tional powers by the statement that the preamble to the reform measure showed that the government especi ally stated that It had acted in an an ticipatory manner in this matter, but that It pledged Itself to submit to the cortes, which body does have the neces sary power to make the changes, the legislation required to give effect to that portion of the reform scheme, and also to do all In Its power to cause tho ratification of Its anticipatory action. Looking generally over the scheme, the minister called attention to some of the most Important features among the provisions touching the granting of eleotoral franchise. He said that this would certainly result In a consid erable extension of the right of suf frage in Cuba. At present Cubans can vote if they pay a yearly tax amounting to not less than (6. Now, said the minister, Spain probably would be willing to go further and permit persons to vote even if they did not pay any tax, pro vided they could read and write. In other words, she would scarcely ob ject to a property qualification If the Cubans themselves desire it. That this might be the case was supposable from the faot, as Mr. DeLome ex plained, that a large portion of the in habitants of the interior of the Island, not numerous, however, were very Il literate. That portion of the scheme relating to the tariff of Cuba the minister re garded as of the utmost Importance, not only to the Islanders, but also to the merchants ot the United States who had trade relations with Cuba of enormous magnitude. Under the new plan, by far the largest number of dutiable articles were placed In a column Imposing a uniform duty, and one without discrimination In favor even of Spain. America and Spain, as serted the minister, stand on an equality, therefore, in the contest for such trade. In case of a small propor tlon of articles In the second column a discriminating duty is allowed In fa vor of Spanish products. This rate of discrimination, however, is claimed not to be excessive. Senor De Lome could not speak moro positively than did Senor Canovas as to tho date when the reforms will be Inaugurated, but directed attention to the statement of the premier that this will depend entirely upon the Cubans themselves. Doubtless minor amend ments In the plan might be made If they are put In a fashion to show that they are reasonable and expedient, In view of the fact that the reform scheme has been gazetted in Madrid the minister consented to make public the preamble to the document. It re cords the political history ot the in surrectlon, which from Its very begin' nlng, it says, had a secessionist charaC' ter. One of the causes of the Insurrec tion has been the false Idea of Spain's weakness, which he Insurgents thought would prevent her subduing It, and an other was a distrust of being able to achieve administrative autonomy by peaceful means. The preamble says that the war, with all Its errors, has ben rich In se vere lessons, showing that in the end peacoful and constant progress Is pref erable to a violent triumph by whom soever obtained. It says In several paragraphs that although f , .In haB been obliged to de lay the application of ample reforms in the administrative regime, she has never Hbf.ndoned the idea of establish Ing reforms voted by the cortes. Th'n important document ends with the following paragraph: "The government has not sufficient motive to Judge if the time before the application of reforms In Cuba and Puerto ntco will be short or long, at though all the news is satisfactory and the forecast of the Incoming peace general. But whatever the conditions may be the government thinks that It must be prepared to ' apply them without the slightest delay when the opportunity shall arrive." Iteliel lit Six Hours.
