Unreasonable Amendment

The House, in putting n time limit of
twelve months TO complete the road of the
Capital Company, appears to have done
an injustice.
The charter with the House amendment
compels the company to build the whole
road in twelve months, or forfeit the entire
charter If ten miles of road is built and one
mile is unbuilt the whole franchise is for
feited.
The company is required to build an
underground electric road on draw bridge
which isan Xperiment-havingne never been
done. The road is too badly needed to en-
danger building 1t by limiting the company
to an unreasonable time. The amendment
reported yesterday by the conference c1sS-
mittee was not for the benefit Of the Capital
Railway, but intended to kill the bill or help
other roads.

That Common Trouble, Acid Dys-
pepsia or Sour Stomach,
Now Recognized as a Cause of Serious
Disease

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is form of indiges-
ton resulting from fermentation of the food.
The stomach being too weak to promptly
digest 1t, the food remains until fermenta-
ton begins, filling the stomach with gas, aud
bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is
often present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occurrence
is given but little attention. Because dys-
pepsla is not Immediately fatal, many peo-
pie do nothing for the trouble
Within recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. 1t is known as Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and it is now be.
coming rapidly used and prescribed as Il rad
ical cure for every form of dyspepsia.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at 90 cents per pack.

with loud voice, knocking him down. He
had made no attack, he said upon private
pension bills; lie had only called attention
to the fact that the House, after disposing
| Of the general appropriation bills, had de-
| voted five days To the discussion OF q gen.
eral pension bill with the object of per-
| mitting gentlemen to make speeches for
| campaign purposes, aad had devoted the
| same period OF time to the bankruptcy bill
The point he had made was that if the
| House believed these bills TO be of impor
tancc, and members conceded that they
were, then il should proceed to consider
them in the usual manner. But the gentle
man from Iowa, (Mr. Henderson,, Mr..
Crisp said, had only fallen into his old
habit; he could not help it, ard really did
not mean anything by it. tLaughter)
HENDERSON PLEADED GUILTY.
Mr. Henderson saH that if that was a
bad habit to vote and work for the old sol
dier-he must plead guilty. He only hoped
that other bad habits OF his were no more
hurtful.
II was habit, however, which the gen
tleman from Georgia had not acquired,
and judging from his association, Mr..
Henderson was afraid he would never ac-
! quire 1t. The gentleman had made u petty,
personal reply, which really answered it

Mr.. DalZell advocated the passage or the
| resolution saying that it was Just that
these bills should receive consideration.
Even were the percentage of bad bills as
great as that erToueouSly stated by Mr..
| Loud. still, in his opinion, they could be
safely trusted to Republican House of
| Representatives,. tApplause.)
Mr.. Loud-Can the gentleman tell me
| how many bills have been defeated at
| this session of Congress?
Nr. Dalzell-I cannot. / have not the
| figures But / am told the gentleman
| from California has done what he can TO
increase the number. Laughter)

WANTS DAMAGES FROM AGENTS
Fannie C. Smith Claims That She Has
Been DefraUded

Fannie c. Smith, through her attorney,
Robert E. L. White, yesterday began pro-
ceedings against Luther L. Apple and
Henry ID. Cochran, lately trading as Apple
& Cochran, to recover damages in the sum
of $3.50.
The petitioner said that she hired
Messrs. Apple & Cochran in June, 1898.
to invest certain money for her in Wash
ington real estate. She authorized them
to buy part of the north grounds of the
Columbian University, which they told
her was for sale at $4, 800.
She averred that the market price of
the property was only $4,000 and that
her agents tried to defraud her by charg-
ing more. She reckoned her damages at
the sum mentioned above.
