S. LOCAL TELEPHONE WAR.
Phoenix Asks the Works
Board for n Franchise.

TIL indianapolis Phoenix Telephone Com
pany was represented before the Board of
Works yesterday by John w. Bow1us, A..
e.. Gates, b. X. Seyfers. G.. G.. Webster
and George w. Stout. Mr.. Gates stated
the object of the visit to be to arrange a
conference for some future time when the
board would consider a proposition which
the new company wanted to make the city.
Mr.. Gates said the company had secured
nearly two thousand subscribers. The terms
of the proposition were not discussed. but
i'll an informal manner Mr.. Holton told
the men that the city would expect a.
proposition which would include the cost
on one hundred or more telephones for
the use of the city. Wires must be placed
under ground in the business portion of
the city. rates to subscribers must be
stated and the amount which the company
is willing to pay the city for the use OF
the streets.
A week from tomorrow was named as
the time for the new company to submit
a proposition to the city, which will then
be considered by the Board of Works.
While no figures were named as the amount
the board would expect the company to
pay into the city treasury yearly it was
stated in the courthouse yesterday that
10000 would be asked by the board.

the recent decision in the patent case,

The entire country seems to be enjoying
a telephone rate war. Reports come from
all over Indiana of heavy cuts in rates
made by the Central Union company as
soon as any other company gets a plant
in operation. The Contra Union has plenty
of money and is fighting n battle for life
or death. 1t seems to have adopted a pol
icy of making each new company an OBJ

established. 1T does nots interfere until the
new company has invested its money and
then it begins to cut rates. Lafayette, FL

Sergeant Lowe received an anonymous
letter. in a wonlan's hand, a few days ago,
stating that a young girl would be found
staying in the rooms of some young men in
the Hereth block on East Washington

is in his district. Last night the sergeant
went into the building to make an examina-
ton and, as the letter stated, a young
girl was found in the room occupied by
Harry Hord, a we'll known young man
about town. The girl said she was only
seventeen years old and that her parents
did not know where she was. Sergeant
Hyland then told her that he would take
her to the police station and put her into
the care of the police matron until her par
ents could be notified OF her whereabouts.
She seemed to consent and went into an
other room to get some clothing. When
she did not return for some time the Of
girl unconscious on the floor. He picked
her UP and put her on the bed and sum
moned a physician. Captain Compbell and
Police Matron Buchanan were also called.
Word was sent to the S1rfS home and her
father soon appeared He said that his
about four weeks and that they HAD been
unable to find her. Harry Hord said that
she had come to his room about that time
asking to be allowed to stay, and unat
she has been there ever since. The girl
was suffering from a severe case OF hys-
terics and when she had recovered suf-
iciently she was removed to her home in
a carriage, without being able TO give any
explanation of why she had remained in
the block.

ONLY one WAY
To Purify the Blood, Increase Flesh and
Strength, and to Cure Indigestion.
Secret Patent Medicines Will
Not Do 1t.
There !. a simpler and nester way.

There is only one way to purify the blood.
only one way to increase flesh, and that is
through the stomach and digestive organs.
Why? Because the stomach and digestive
organs make blood and flesh. bone. nerves
and sinew. Did you ever see a person
blessed with a healthy. vigorous stomach
and digestion who had impure blood, mud
dy. sallow complexion. or who had weak
nerves, sleepless nights and the thousand
and one pains and aches arising from poor
digestion? No; because perfect digestion
converts the food eaten into pure blood,
strong nerves and muscles and all the flesh
a person needs to have for health, SYM
metry and beauty.
Every person knows whether or not his or
her digestion is what it should be, but every
person does not know what is the safest and
best way to secure and preserve a healthy
condition of the digestive organs. 1t is not
done by the use of any wonderful secret
patent medicine, but by the use OF certain
harmless digestive principles which, taken
at meals, will digest the food anyway. re-

gest 1t perfectly. There Is nothing wonder
full about this. Any physician or chemist
knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do this because repeatedly tested and
proved, and thousands of cured dyspeptics
have found 1t TO be true also.
Or. Harlandson states that these tablets
increase flesh because they digest flesh
forming food like eggs, meat and ordinary
everyday food: for the same reason they

These tablets may be found at any drug
store.

readers of the Journal by answering the
following Questions, which you will per-
ceive are in the interest of a clearer under
standing of your positions:
First-In denying that Christ died 10 sat
isfy the law OF His Father do you mean
to deny that His death was sacrifcial or
propitiary. and that lie died that God
might be just in justifying the believer?
Second-In denying that justification con-
sists in a formal act. and affirming that it
consists in a reformation of life, do you
mean to deny that there Is a formal act Of
forgiveness extended to the penitent sim
ner?
Thfrd-what do you mean by the idola-
trous reverence for the word Cod which
you are seeking to destroy?
