ONE CENT. CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Effectual Cure for It. COSTS NOTHING TO TRY. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable.

The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, formation of gases, causing pressure the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which canses the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surlaces of the stomach. To secure prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr.

Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will tollow their regular use after meals. Mr. R. S.

Workman, Chicago, writes: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical anthorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but today lam the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found, flesh, appetite and sound rest from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, Catarrh of the stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building, up doing the constitution work.

Take Hall's Family Pills for constipation SHOULD SUPPORT OLMSTED. Carlisle Cannot Afford to Lose the Indian School. While they are confined to Carlisle, where he is well known, the idiosynerasies of our fellow townsman, who has a place upon the Democratic ticket as a candidate for Congress, do little harm. But when he gets abroad they are likely to be more serious in character. It now seems that by the bad break he recently made in New York he highly offended not only Congressman Sherman, of New York, who, as chairman the great Committee on Indian Affairs, holds the Carlisle Indian School almost in the hollow of his hand, but also the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, through which we must get further appropriations for the public building secured by Mr.

Olmsted, and also the chairman of the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. It would hardly have been possible for him to knock down more pins with one ball or to do Carlisle more injury in one day. Advices from Washington to the Philadelphia Press and also to other newspapers indicate that the attack upon the Carlisle Indian School is to be renewed. Mr. Olmsted saved it three years ago.

It 18 now getting to be a serious question whether anybody in Carlisle can afford to give Mr. Lindner a complimentary vote. Mr. Olmsted is pretty certain to be elected in any event, but if we expect him to continue to stand up and light for us as he has done in the past, ought not the people of Carlisle to show their appreciation of what he has done? The loss of the Carlisle Indian School would be felt not only in Carlisle but throughout the entire county. CIVIC CLUB ENTERTAINMENT COURSE.

Season of 1906-1907 Will Be Fine Entertainments. Tickets for the Civic Club Entertainment Course for the current season are now before the pablic. A prompt return of money to the one from whom the tickets were received is asked. Please notice that: The course offers two evenings with attractions of international an Maclaren," and the Kneisel Quartette. Seats for each of these entertainments elsewhere easily command seventy-five cents, a dollar, or a dollar and a half.

In tact, few people are priviledged to hear either for less than the last sum. In addition to these two attractions is first the lecture by Dr. C. T. Winchester, of Wesleyan University, Old Castle." Dr.

Winchester stands in the front rank of the men of letters of this country. As writer and speaker he i is known for his charming style and for his thorough knowledge of whatever subject he handles. Second, Dramatic Readings, by Mrs. Bertha Kunz Baker, the equal of any one in her profession, and third, an illustrated lecture "Carlisle Old and with seventy-five lantern slides, and the story of "Old Bellaire" and New Carlisle delightfully told by Hon. Edward W.

Biddle. Thus the public have offered them five evenings, each of superior excellence, tor less than is often paid for a single entertainment--one dollar and a quarter. The only possible way of meeting the very heavy expenses of this course, ex-. penses appreciably more than those in either previous year, is by the loyal support of a public spirited people. Will not Carlisle show its appreciation of this effort to give a great deal of the best for the least possible money? Buy for yourselves and your families, and do not forget that a course ticket would make a most acceptable gift for some friend.

Remember that single tickets for Dr. Watson's lecture and the concert are fifty cents each. Hence, by buying a course ticket you have five entertainments for only twenty-five cents more than you would pay for these two. "A the wise," etc. If no course tickets have been offered you, make application at once to any member of the Civic Cinb, and you will be promptly supplied.

Street Markers Here. Yesterday alternoon the Carlisle Civie Club received from a firm in New York city, through the United States Express a large number of street signs or markers, which will be placed on the sides of various houses with the name of the street thereon. The signs are metal, with blue enamel and white letters and are about 6x20 inches in size. The Election Proclamation.

It is hoped to have everything ready to open the church on Sunday, November 4. Miss Woods Spoke. Miss Winifred Woods, of this place, made a fine address in the Methodist Church, of Mechanicsburg, on Wednes.

day evening. She spoke on mission work in Chila, where she is doing great work under the direction of the Methodist Mission Board. THE REFORM LETTERS. A glance at the so-called Reformers discloses an amazing condition of affairs: Mr. Lewis Emery, The Lincoln- candidate tor Governor, places the Brewery on the same level with the Church, the School and the Hospital, and sells dangerous oil and labels it safe.

Mr. Jeremiah S. Black, The Bryanite candidate for Lieutenant- Governor, whose "lamentations" over the sins of the Republicans are heard all over the State and who grabs a fee of some $20,000 for collecting about $80,000 of taxpayers' money. Mr. Wm.

I. Berry, The saintly State Treasurer of the Democratic party, who fills a bank with State funds and then has that bank finance a scheme for him and found Mare's Nest in the Capitol. Mr. Isaac B. Brown, Who had a large tract of land patented to himself while a State officer and on the trial of a suit by the real owners to recover the land from him it was found that he had conveyed portions of the land to the wives of several important witnesses on his side of the case.

'The Supreme Court of the State condemned him in scathing terms for his reprehensible conduct as a public officer. Mr. Henry C. Niles, Chairman of the Lincoln Party State Committee, one of the parties engineering the Milling Co. Trust by which many innocent millers in Pennsylvania lost their properties.

These and others like them are leaders claiming to be political reformers anxious to defeat that "sincere, honest and lovable gentleman," Edwin 8. Stuart, the Republican candidate for Governor. Will the people be misled by such fake reformers? The men of Pennsylvania are not fools and they will show that condemnation of such false Reformers by an old-time and enormous majority for Mr. Stuart and the entire Republican ticket. THE GARLAND AND ROSE.

Mr. Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, ex-Minister to Russia and General of the United States by the grace of the Republican party, and who was strongly censured under the present administration tor his conduct of the Postoflice Department, is in favor of Mr. Emery and opposed to Mr. Stuart for Governor of Pennsylvania. At the dinner given to Mr.

Edwin S. Stuart at the close of his term as Mayor of Philadelphia, Mr. Smith was one of the eloquent speakers who lauded Mr. Stuart in the strongest terms. He closed his speech as follows: "In an old legend, a garland and a rose bloomed on the head ot her who was faithfal and faded on the brow of her who was inconstant.

If that could be applied to the Magistrate, the public representative of a great community, it could fairly be said that the garland and the rose will forever bloom on the brow of Edwin S. Stuart, because, in all his public relations he has been faithful and true to his duty." On the morning after the election Mr. Smith and his friends--fake reformerswill find that garland and rose brightly blooming "on the brow of Edwin S. Stuart." Quarterly Meeting.

DANGER OF CLOSING CARLISLE INDIAN SCHOOL. Washington, D. Oct. 24 -The news printed in Tuesday's Philadelphia Press of a movement to close the Carlisle Indian School is no more than has been under discussion here for some time. It is believed, in a good many quarters, that the Indians are not permanently benefited by being educated away from and so much above the level of their own people.

A drive will probably be made at the appropriation usually contained in the Indian Appropriation man Olmsted has heretotore succeeded in keeping it in, against all opposition. In this he has been aided by his personal friend, Congressman Jas. S. Sherman, of the Indian Affairs Committee. It has doubtless been through him also that the opposition of Speaker Cannon, which developed two or three years ago, has been kept quiet.

Your correspondent will look up and furnish you, in a few days, with a record of the attempt made three years ago. It has leaked out here that Mr. John Lindner, of Carlisle, a candidate tor Congress in that district, recently highly offended, not only Congressman Sherman, who is Chairman of the Congressional Campaign Committee, but also Congressman Overstreet, of Indiana, Chairman of the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, and Congressman Tawney, ot Minnesota, Chairman of the all-powerful Committee on Appropriations, all of whom are members of the Congressional Campaign Committee and were present at its headquarters in New York when Mr. Lindner's remarks were so objectionable that the interyiew was brought to a very summary close. All of these exceedingly influential Congressman will be re-elected.

They are all personal friends of Congressman Olmsted. In the event of Mr. Lindner's election, they are probably 1 too large men to permit their personal feelings to sway their judgment, but it may be set down as reasonably certain that they would not be moved to strain any point in favor of the Carlisle School or anything else specially affecting that district, in the event of Mr. Lindner's election.

More Precious Than Woman's Love By WILLIAM FORSTER BROWN (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Capt. Amos Stubbs, puffing like an overworked tugboat, drew his pudgy form out of the water and climbed laboriously across the jagged ridges of Whaleback ledge. "Darn it!" he wheezed wrathfully, as he reached the top- small, circumscribed area of dry I might ez well make up my mind to stay here all night.

I wouldn't hev Widder Tompkins find out I'd been fool enough to git ketched in the Horse Race an' capsized for a carload o' lobsters." The captain's eyes, roving dully over the rocky knobs and hollows that surrounded him, rested at length on a bright object among the pile of stones. It was small silver flask. "It's more'n half full o' suthin," he decided, "licker, likely's not." He unscrewed the cap and applied the mouth of the flask to his nose'Tis licker!" he grunted. hain't tetched any licker, but once, since I shaped a course arter the widder," he argued mentally, "an' that's more'n three years ago. But she won't know no more about it," tilting the flask determinedly, "than she will about my bein' here on Whaleback, capsized an' stove.

There! Blamed if that didn't go right to the spot!" A comforting warmth arose and distributed itself over the captain's anatomy, and even his damp feet began to glow cheerfully. "Ii's all-fired lucky Cap'n Higgins's over to Bass river, 'cause he'd manage to find out where I'd been if it took him a month o' Sundays, an' he'd like nuthin' better -him an' me not bein' ez good friends ez we useter-than to tell everybody in Fairport-'specially the widder-that I'd got capsized in the Horse Race." All at once Capt. Stubbs dropped his wet sleeve and eagerly. "Wonder what he queried listened, aloud; "sounds like one of them oil boats over to the P'int; hope to goodness ti is one of 'em, 'cause then I'll git took off." He peered over the lump of rock and the next instant dropped stiffly to his knees. "Of all the cussed luck!" he growled savagely, "seem's ez if there wan't goin' to be no let-up to it.

I'd gin' a hundred dollars ruther'n had Lemuel Higgins ketch me marooned on this 'Taint Your Fault She Ain't Mis' Lemuel Higgins This Minit, Neither." blamed old ledge, an' here he comes, lickety-split-though where he's comin' from gits me." The captain promptly spreadeagied his wet body flat on the rock, face down, and waited anxiously. That moment a quavering hail arose from below: "Cap'n Stubbs?" The captain held his breath. "Higgins hez seen the dory," he acknowledged regretfully, "but mebbe he ain't seen me!" "Cap'n Stubbs?" The hail arose again, penetrating and insistent. "What be you layin' up there for? Why don't you say suthin'-be you hurt?" Reluctantly Capt. Stubbs crawled to his feet and stared down calmly at his interrogator.

was jest restin'," Capt. Amos answered sarcastically. "What do you s'pose 1 was doin'-diggin' clams?" The man in the dory guffawed hoarsely. "You'd better come down an' git aboard," he went on, as Capt. Amos glowered at him, "but you'll hev' to swim.

I dassent come in no nigher; it's full of rocks in there, an' I might hit my perpeller on some of 'em." The castaway planted his feet wide apart and thrust out his chin, shoving his hands deep into his wet pockets. "Be you comin' or ain't you?" Higgins demanded impatiently. 'I want to git in 'fore dark, an' I ain't got no time to fool away 'round here, argy'ing." "I ain't heard nobody ask you to," retorted Capt. Amos, ungraciously. "I've al'lus taken care of myself so fur an' I reckon I kin keep on a-doin' of it without any extry help.

If I wuz you-" "Then I'll jest give you a chance to git yourself to Fairport, you pigheaded old cuss!" yelled Capt. Higgins, with a snort of exasperation. "It I didn't know signed drinking pledge I sh'd think you'd been -or was out of your head; I'ra goin' home." Public Sale.

I didn't say I didn't want to be took off at all, did I only said I wan't pertic'ler 'bout it if I had to do any more swimmin'. Mebbe I won't hev' ter." And Capt. Amos--with a deep-water sailor's unerring spring, landed squarely on the boat's half-deck. red of the sunset faded into pearl darkening gray. From the lighthouse on Fort Point a golden tinger shot seaward and the frosted edge of the full moon crept gradually into the cloudless sky.

An inexplicable spell, conjured perhaps by the halt mysterious peace brocding under the wings of the coming night, flooded Capt. Amos' soul, awakening old and potent memories. "Lem?" he said didently--unconsciously using the familiar diminutive that had not passed his lips for years notice how terribly pretty the sky looks over there to the west'ard? ain't seen it look like that for years, an' it sorter reminds me of the time we was young fellers--with old man Bragg in the Dreadnaught-in '63." "Yes," assented Capt. Lemuel, thoughtfully, "an' speakin' 'bout the Dreadnaught, do you remember how we uster hook a share of the grog bein' too young to hev' any, regular. Blamed if I don't wish I had that ol' tin pannikin o' mine here now, with some in it." Capt.

Amos' heart gave a sudden throb of anticipation. "Say?" he remarked deprecatingly, "'course ain't there is anything o' that sort aboard this dory; but a s'posin' there wuz? Would you promise-on the Bible if we had one--not to say anything to-to-Fairport, 'bout my bein' capsized--if I gin' you some?" Capt. Higgins stopped his oar and reaching, shoulder, forth, grasped whirling him his around doryunceremoniously. "Do you mean to say you've got some licker, Amos Stubbs?" he demanded sternly. Capt.

Stubbs explained and produced the flask. Higgins elevated 1. for a long minute and returned it with deep sigh of satisfaction. "It's curious how set some women is agin' a little licker," he commented, with glistening eyes; "all foolishness, too." "So 'tis 'tis," concurred Capt. Amos, raising the flask in turn.

"Tal'lus said so; 'specially if their fust. husbands couldn't stand much; women is all-fired queer, anyhow." "They certainly be," acknowledged the tall captain, eyeing the flask hopefully, "an' that's one reason I've been so everlastin' s'prised at seein' you a- chasin' one of 'em at your time of life, throwin' over ol' friends an' actin' stubborn an' cont'ray--'s if you was a young feller o' 20." 'Me a-chasin' of 'em!" retorted Capt. Amos indignantly. "What hev' you been doin' yourselr, r'a tO KILO Ain't you been a-goin' up to the widder's every Thursday night for the last three years? An' tryin' to pizen her mind agin' me? 'Tain't your fault she ain't Mis' Lemuel Higgins this minit, nuther-why don't you say suthin?" Capt. Higgins moistened his lips.

'If 'twan't for things bein' as they be," he ventured hesitatingly, "I dunno but I'd be tempted to make a sorter proposition to you, Am Stubbs; but I s'pose it wouldn't be no use-you bein' so set on marryin' Mis' Tompkins." "I Con't see's I'm any more set on marryin' of her than you be," Capt. Amos retorted, with asperity. "What kind of a proposition was you thinkin' o' makin'?" "Well," returned Lemuel, moving his oar aimlessly, "I was goin' to say that it things was the same between us as they was once I mean if there wan't no wider ask you if you didn't want 10 come in with me on my new lobster contract? There'd be good money for both of us in it, an' I've got to hev' somebody." Capt. Amos rubbed his chin, staring ahead at the wide and scintillating fairway the moon had flung down clear to the dory's bow. The softening influence of the twilight, the crowding thoughts of days that were no more, when he and the gray-headed old lobsterman behind him had been friends, comrades aye, blood-brothers on many voyages, on many and strange seas--sharing together storm and danger and shipwreck wrought mightily in the little captain's tender heart.

"Look here, Lem!" he blurted huskily over his shoulder "mebbe I'm EL fool; but somehow, talkin' over old times same's we've been doin', has kinder made me feel diff'rent from the way I've been a-feelin'. It seems to me I ain't so all-fired set on the widder as I thought I was.
