THE RIO eRaNDE WESTERN
An Interesting Report Put Out By
President Palmer.

New York, Oct 19.-wtlliam J. Pal
mer, president of the Rio Grande
Western railway, has, at the instance
Of the directors, issued a circular to TIE
preferred stockholders. which says:
The auditors figures for the first
quarter show net earnings of $3.50. 100
and surplus of S167, 61s. The surplus
above all charges earned from July l
to date will exceed 8 per cent upon
the preferred stock and the payment
of cash dividends Should now be re-
sumed. AS the surplus already earned
is sufficient to insure the payment Of
four dividends of three-quarter per
cent, each quarterly dividend of three
quarters per cent has been declared
payable Nov. Is to stockholders of
record at the close of business on Oct.
80, 1897
There seems to be every reason to
believe that the remaining eight and
one-half months will show further ad-
ditions to surplus in excess of the
amount necessary to pay the remain
ing per cent to which the preferred
stock would be entitled for the year.
The present views of the directors are
that if this intention be realized such
remaining profits should be divided in
the forms of extra dividends of per
cent at the end of each six months
period" p

Common soda is all right in its place

it was never intended for a medicine.
and people who use il as such viii some

we refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach a
habit which thousands of people prac
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger. moreover. the
soda only gives temporary relief and in
the end the stomach trouble gets worse

Che soda acts as a mechanical irri-

DR.. HarlandSon recommends as the
safest and SureSt cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent Drepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lozenSes, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids, peptoneS and digestive ele-
ments essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before it
has time to ferment, sour and poison

uses STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets in all

finds them q certain cure not only for
sour stomach. but by promptly digest

petite. increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness

THE WESTERN ROADS.
Important Meeting of Traffic and
Executive Officers.


Chicago, Oct 1S.-The traffic officials
and executive officers of the western
roads held another meeting today for
the purpose of seeing if something
could not be done to bring about the
withdrawal of all unauthorized freight
tariffs. For a long time the freight
rates west from Chicago have been in
state of decentralization and this in
the face of a very heavy business. The
reasons for the trouble are many. each
road having several of it's own. and
one or two in common with the other
lines The chief reason is that the
southwestern roads have been making
strong efforts to divert the traffic to
new channels, ana they have in large
measure succeeded. The western lines
have been compelled to meet this COM
petition. and they have met it by cut
ting rates. 1t was found impossible
for the meeting of today to make any
great progress toward the restoration
of rates, but the executive officials say
that they will make every effort to
have the rates restored within a short
time
The situation in western passenger
rates shows no sign of immediate i'm
proVement, and the chances are that
Chairman Caldwell of the western
Passenger association viii find it neces-
sary in the near future to call meet
ing of all the Interested lines for the
purpose of seeing that the agreement
entered into by all OF the western roads
some time ago for the maintenance of
rates and the non-payment Of commits
sions is kept.
Practically every road that agreed to
stop the payment of excessive commits
sions is now paying them Just the
same as at the time the agreement was
made. The settlement of the troubles
between the Oregon Short Line and the
Union Pacific has not stopped the pay
ment of the large commissions on north
Pacific coast business, nor is there any
probability that they will be discon-
tfnued in the near future

stirred, then opened her large eyes
