Tndigestion

IS not only distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebed, is the parent of innumerable
maladies That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and Indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years / suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see All Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, l found myself well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me
new lease of life"

SPECTATORS TAKING TO BUYING MINES IN THE
OLD DOMINION
The boom of mineral and timber lands in vir
gnia within the past six months has been phe-
nomenal not only within the history OF the Old
Commonwealth, but a surprise to some OF her
, new sister States of the great West. Starting at
/ Winchester, the march of progress and specula-
ton has followed the Shenandoah and Page
Valley, and thence through to the Southwest to
the Tennessee and Kentucky lines. There are
lines of railways traversing these fertile valleys
connecting with the seaports of Norfolk, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, and New York, along the
line OF the Norfolk and Western Railway
Standing at Lyncllburg and running west, is
to be found rich veins of the best semi-anthra-
cite and bituninous coal which compares by
analysis to be superior to the same Goals in
Pennsylvania and Maryland. There are also
mountains or the best iron ores lying along side
of the coal lands. Several large Eastern syndi-
Gates have already entered this new field of
wealth for investments and development of the
ore and coal.
A few miles west of Pulaski City on the Nor
folk and Western hallway. is to be found the Gel
ebrated Peak Greek coal and iron land There
are seven hundred or more acres of coal land in
this tract. situated along the base of the noun
tains just above water level. The seam Of this
from slate and phosphorus. The mouth of the
tunnel of this mine is only 800 yards from the
railroad. 1t is claimed that the coal can be miEed
and placed on the cars at cost of sixty cents
per ton There are also 2 700 acres of iron ore
land on Drapers Mountain, belonging to the
same tract. On the west Of the Peak Creek iron
property is the Clark Summit iron ore mines
which are being largely and successfully opera
ted by the Virginia IRON and Steel Company
while on the east is located the Clayton iron
property, containing 15O0 acres, which is so rich
in brown hematite ore that an eastern firm of
capitalists have purchased it for Sll5.C00,
1t is claimed that this vein of ore, beginning
on the Clayton property on the east, runs
through the entire Peak Greek property of 2,700
acres to the Clark Summit iron mines on the
west.
The Peak Greek property is considered by ex
perts to be one of the most valuable of all the
iron properties in Southwest Virginia.
The analysis shows IS per cent. OF metallic iron.
There are number of iron furnaces already in
operation in this section of the State, which are
doing an extensive business

Mrs. Gallagher Says He WrouGed Her
when Sho was in the Almshouse.
Mayor Nathan Barnert Of Paterson, who
has been investigating many departments OF
the city Government recently turned his atten-
tion to tho almshouse. He pored over the ac-
counts. but found nothing upon which to base
charges against Superintendent Cornelius L.
Petry. Yesterday, however. he announced that
he had suspended the Superintendent and Mrs.
Petry. who was matron OF the institution, upon
charges made by Mrs. Ellen Gallagher.
In her AFFIDAVIT Mrs. Gallagher says that
while she was an inmate Of the almshouse
about seven years ago Mr. Pstry became In
innate with her, and to shield her husband.
Mrs. Pstry took her to New York. where her
child was born. The child was taken away
from her on the day after its birth. and she
does not know what became OF 1t. Mrs; Gal
lagher says she went back to the almshouse
in Paterson after the child was born. and
Mrs. Gallagher lives at 63 Prospect street,
and is apparently about so years old. She told
many contradictory stories TO the reporters

Mr. and Mrs. Petry both deny the woman's
