CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. A Pleasant Simple, But Safe Effectual Cure for it. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloat ing sensation after eating, accompanied some times with sour or watery risings, a formation of gasses, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breath ing; headache, fickle appetite, nervous ness 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 w r ould show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucouss surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy diges tion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the ca tarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet composed of Diastaste, Asep tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These cablets can now be found at all drug steres 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 through digestion will follow their regu lar use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, 111., writes: ‘ Catarrh is a lo.al condition.resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poi sonous discharge therefrom, passing back ward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities ps-escribed for me three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro priate words to express my good feeling. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious ness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloat ing after meals. Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be found a drug store. Trav. Pass. Agent MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18 1898.

Greatest Mu s ical Attraction of the Season at the Academy on Thursday Night. Perhaps the greatest attraction of the season will be ait the Academy of Music on Thursday night. Those who have seen “The Bostonians” before will see them again -this year and will see them in the strongest attraction the’y ‘have yet offered to the public. It would be a dullard indeed who has not heard of -this famous organization. What the prominent stock -companies are to the dramatic stage, “The Bostonians” is to the lyric. In their work they have no rivals and there is a smoothness and finish to their ensembles and a spirited touch to individual effort which only comes from long association and heartiest co operation. The principal artists of "The Boston ians” are all stars of the first magnitude and include the most famous names of the light opera stage. This year the roster shows the follow ing noted singers: Henry Clay Barnabee, William H. MacDonald, Jessie Bartlett Davis, Eugene Cowles, Alice Neilson, George Frothingham, Josephine Bartlett, William E. Philip, Grafton Baker, Harry Brown, W. H. Fitzgerald, Nellie Guisti, Helena Fredericks, Jennie Hawley, Chas. R. Hawley and others, supported by a bril liant chorus and augmented orchestra under the baton of S. L. Studley. A crowded house will greet this great company who will render the new opera, “The Serenade.” A DELIGHTFUL TREAT. Marion Mhnalo and John Mason will be again seen as the Academy next Tuesday night in that delightful play, “Friend Fritz.” The scenery and costumes are all new. and this delightful play should be greeted by the largest eudlneee of the season.

CHIEF OF POLICE REPORT On What Has Been Done Since the Beginning of the Year in Police Circles. While there is no doubt that some peo ple have been held up and a few have been robbed of small sums of money, the police >and the detectives are of the opinion that entirely too much importance has been attached t* the highway robbery feature of .Macon history for the last few weeks. Mayor Price, too, is of the same opin ion. A News reporter asked him for his views on the subject this morning, and he stated that while he was somewhat re luctant to express himself he said that he was fully convinced that the public had been unnecessarily scared. “Women and children In Macon,” he said, “have been frightened by the reports of the hold up business all over the city of 'Macon. But as a matter of fact the whole thing has been very much exagger ated. The police have been doing good work and they are entitled to credit for it, and I am doing all I can and I think suc cessfully to have the town orderly. “Because a large number of tramps have been arrested is no evidence that the city has been a rest for highwaymen. ‘‘Half of the reports about highwaymen have been utterly untrue when we w’ent to ivestigate them, and the other quarter have been exaggerated from the request of a tramp for something to eat into a reg ular highway robbery. “The people have been frightened by re ports that men started in a joke and have gathered as they went. The fact of the matter is that these reports do the city incalculable barm and the police force an injustice. “Here is a report I have just received from the chief of police on the subject, of the work of the police for the half of January.” The mayor produced the document, which is interesting and will afford a great deal of information to the general public. In his report the chief of police say.s: From January 1 to January 16 inclu sive, the -police -arrested 54 suspicious or vagrant characters, 36 whites and 18 blacks. There were 18 more whites than blacks. “Os these 54 the -recorder sentenced 44 to the chaingang and dismissed 10. “The total amount of money in the pos sion of the 44 sentenced to the chain gang was $14.28. Os this sum, John O’Brien, a white man, had $13.17, and the remaing 43 had only sl.ll, or about 2 1 /. cents each. The recorder imposed on O’Berry a fine of $lO or thirty days on the gang. He preferred to serve on the gang rather than pay the fine. With $13.17 in his pocket O’Berry was begging supper from house to house on College street, and was suspected of trying to rob a colored girl. “Only 4 of the 54 “suspects” and va grants lived in Macon. Moslt of the whites are from the North. “The police have arrested during the past week five white men and two negroes charged with “holding up” persons. The white men are now serving sentences on the chaingang. One of the negroes has been Committed to jail to await trial in the Bib superior court, and the other ne gro is now in the barracks for commit ment. “Oreiar, the white man charged with at , tacking Miss Tuberville, was arrested and sentenced to the chaingang for six months. “The total number of arrests made by the police for offenses of all sorts for the •first half of the present month is 174, or an average of 11 per day for 16 days. “Today, January 17, the recorder sen tenced twelve white mon to the chain gang for vagrancy. SOUTH MACON DOTS. If any community, city, town, village or suburb between the great lakes and the gulf of Mexico has a better mail -carrier than Joe Haggison, the citizens of South Macon are perfectly willing for him to remain where heis, Joe is good enough for them. Several weeks ago the clever postmaster, J. iH. Hertz, extended the mail service over quite an area of new territory in South Macon, which included the western heights. Joe was then appealed to for a mail box tb be placed at Ellis’ store. Joe went to work in earnest, using his glibe tongue, his persuasive powers, &c., con tinuously, and finally called to his assis tance his rabbit foot, which did the work. The box was placed there by Joe yesterday much to the gratification of the people of this Ibvely little community. “Smith.” WHOSOEVER~WILL. An Able Sermon Preached At Grace Church Last Night. Grace church was again filled last night with an interesited congregation to hear the great revivalist, Rev. J. L. Morrell, preach an effective sermon from Rev. 22, 17. "And the spirit and the bride say come, and let him that heareth say come, and let him that is athirst, come, and whosoever will let him take of the water of life freely.” The preacher sand that he was glad of the whosoever in his text, for that includ ed him and everybody else. The Holy Spirit, 'he said, had called every man, wo man and child who had come to the year* of accountability, in the house to come to Christ. The church was now calling to sinners to come to Christ, and some of those who had accepted the invitation of the gospel during these meetings, were now calling others to come to Christ. Read the invitation. It does not say, whoever is •afraid he will not hold out, come; it does not say, whosoever is not fit, come, but it says, whosoever will, and that includes the whole world. There are nine hun dred and sixty-seven invitations in the Bible to come to Christ, and I am glad that in my text, in the last chapter, and in nearly the last verse in the Bible, the invitation is broad enough to take in the human family. But the spirit and the brMe and all the good of earth and all the saints in heaven, and God himself, can not sove you, unless you will to come. I am glad that salvation is a matter of choiee. After the sermon quite a num ber of new converts were received into the church, and at the after service, the altar was filled with penitnets, and there were others added to the church of such as should be saved. The services will be continued during the week. Preaching at 9:30 in the morning and at 7:30 at night. This may be Mr. Morrell’s last week in Macon and it is a rare opportunity for the people to hear one of the strongest preach ers and most useful men in the church. LOPEZ RANCH.

Beverly, Esq., of Goliad, Golind Co., Tex., writes: “My wife suffered from cold feet and fainting spells, heaviness and soreness in the lower part of the stomach, also heart trouble, loss ot appetite, tired feelings, rest broken— could not sleep. I tried five doctors. None of them gave her relief. She suffered five years. She was helpless could not walk from the bed to the fire-place. She used two bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and the local home-treat ment he advised. Before my wife had used the first bottle of the medicine she felt the good ef fect and said one bottle would be enough. I in sisted on her using two bottles, and she did so. Now she is sound and well, and I can praise your medicine to the extreme.” CARNIVAL ASSOCIAI ION. A Meeting Will Be Held This Afternoon to Discuss Matters. A meeting of the executive committee of the Macon Carnival Association will be held at the Chamber of Commerce this af ternoon at 4 o’clock.

No definite ar rangements can be made for entertain ments for a date so far ahead. But Pres ident Waxelbaum says he thinks it a good idea to have meetings occasionally and keep the members of the association inter ested. Mr. George Macdonald, who said that he thought he would be forced to resign from his position as chief of the bureau of promotion and publicity, will be pressed to hold his place as it -would be a hard matter to get one more flitted for it than Mr. Macdonald.
