SIMPLICITY ITSELF
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY,
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dyn-
pepsia and Indigestion.

DR.. Jennison, who has made a life study
Of stomach troubles. says: All forms of in
digestion really amount to the same thing.
that is. failure to completely digest the food
eaten; no matter whether the trouble is acid
dyspepsia or sour stomach, belching or wind,
nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and an
petite; person win not have any of them
If the stomach can be induced by any nat
ural. harmless way, to thoroughly digest
what is eaten, and this can be done by a
simple remedy which have tested In hum
dreds of aggravated cases with complete
success. The remedy is combination of
fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptio
pepsin and golden seal put up In the form
OF pleasant tasting tablets and sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. One or two of these tablets should
be taken after meals and allowed to dissolve
In the mouth and rningling with the food
in the stomach, digests it completely before
it has time to ferment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thou
sand grains of meat, eggs and similar
wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say, If this wholesome remedy
would be national blessing as we are a
nation OF dyspeptics, and nine-tenths of all
diseases owe their origin to imperfect d.
gestion and nutrition.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine but a fifty-cent
package will do more real good for weak
stomach than $50 worth of patent medicines,
and person has the satisfaction of know
ing just what he is putting into his stom-
ach. which he does not know, when widely
advertised patent medicines are used.

IRVINGTON TELEPHONE RATES.
Local Company Offers Them Cheaper
than in indianapolis.

At the Irvington Town Board meeting
last night the telephone ordinance was the
special order, but in the absence of the
president Of the board, H. U. Brown, ac-
ton on the matter was deferred until next
Monday night. w. L. Hill, manager of the
Central Union Telephone Company of In
dianapolis, was present to exploit the claims
and proposition of the telephone company
He said the company had not take up the
matter of Irvington telephone service with
out solicitation from Irvington citizens
Many Indianapolis business men who reside
in Irvington have petitioned the telephone
company for an exchange at Irvington. The
company has made an offer to establish an
exchange at Irvington at a rate of 81. so a.
month for residences and 81 a month for
business houses, With a toll charge of 10
cents extra for each connection with In
dianapolis. Irvington citizens object to the
extra charge for talking to Indianapolis. If
a compromise on this point is erected IT.
vington may have telephone exchange.
The proposition to put down a cement
sidewalk on the south side of Johnson aV-
enue and Cherry avenue, from Central av-
enue to Ritter avenue, was indefinitely de-
ferred.
A resolution was introduced to approve
the report of the sewer commissioners, who
have been working for over a month on
the assessments on the property benefited
by the large sewer now in process of con-
struction in Washington street. Sylvester
Johnson, the only citizen present at the
Town Board meeting, objected to the ac-
ceptance of the report, claiming that errors
had been made by the sewer commissioners
in their property assessments. The Town
Board, however, had full confidence in the
work of the sewer commissioners and adopt
ed the resolution approving the report.
Work on the sewer is being pushed rapidly.
Excavation has been made from National
avenue to Lake avenue on Washington
street.

improved. New depots are in course of con-
struction at Slime, KY and also at Mid
way Ky. The depot at the latter place is
to be very handsome one and Will fill
much-needed want at that point. The OPP
Grating department of the Louisville divi-
sion Of the Southern Railway is in charge
OF Superintendent George X. Loyal, of
Louisville, who has charge of the above i'm
provements, and the business of the line,
both freight and passenger. under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Edwin Fitzgerald. general West
ern freight agent, and Mr.. William II. Tay-
Toe, assistant general passenger agent both
of whom have their offices IN Louisville,
is showing improvements abreast with the
times.
The Western roads have determined to
hold another meeting in the near future
for the purpose Of considering the freight
rate situation. No date has been set for
the meeting, but it will probably be held as
soon as assurances are received that all Of
the other interested lines can be repre-
sented by thier executive officers. There is
a strongly divided opinion regarding the
outcome of the meeting, some believing that
the situation can be improved and others
holding the opinion that there can be no
permanent Improvement until after the re-
organization of the Union Pacific and that
of the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf are
completed. This will not be until some time
in the early spring and meanwhile the
roads expect to struggle along with their
demoralized tariffs in the best way pos
Sible.

THE COURT ExoNERATED HIM.
HI. III. Gibbs Declares His Arrest Was
the Result of a COnsnfracx

HI. III. Gibbs Declares His Arrest Was
the Result of a Conspiracy.
On Oct. p the Journal contained a brief
item to the effect that Hiram H. Gibbs,
one Of the best-known horse dealers in the
city, had been arrested at the instance of
Mrs. Eliza c. Hendricks, upon a charge of
obtaining money under false pretense in a
horse trade. After many efforts on the
part of Mr.. Gibbs the case was brought to
trial, and an effort was made to have him
accept dismissal of the case. This he de-
clined to do, and insisted upon a trial that
would bring out the facts. Mr.. Gibbs had
found it necessary to place the coachman,
Joseph Epps, under arrest to hold him as
a witness. Upon the stand Mrs. Hen
bricks testified that the arrest had been
made without her knowledge or consent,
and she knew nothing to substantiate the
charge. DR.. L. w. Comstock testified that
he had filed the affidavit without the
knowledge of Mrs. Hendricks. 1t appears
that Mr.. Gibbs purchased horse for Mrs.
Hendricks upon commission, and after
wards she became dissatisfied with the
trade. Comstock upon the stand admitted
having gone to GibbsS place of business
and told him that Mrs. Hendricks could
greatly injure his business. Mr.. Gibbs de-
clares that he believes the only purpose of
his arrest was to have the charge published
onerated him from any charge in the mat
ter. He has always borne an excellent rep
utation in the community, and has done
large and prosperous business.

distribution Of the fund raised for the re-
lief of persons injured in the Broad Ripple
explosion of Sept. has had disagreement
and NJ. r. Likens has withdrawn, leaving
n. B. S. F'lorander and j. L. Brady to con-
tinue the work. Mr.. Likens favored the
plan of expending the money for the BEN
eft of the injured, while the other men,
bers thought the money ought to be paid
directly TO them The latter plan was fol-
lowed, and Mr.. Likens withdraws so that
the public may know who is responsible X
the plan does not meet with approval.
About 500 has been paid out and there re-
mains $500 in the fund.

YeIlow-Fever rreventIxe.



Since the FIRST case Of yellow fever was
reported In this city hundreds Of people
have tried hundreds of preventives, but
the one that has had the greatest popular
ity is that kind which comes IN bottles la
beied Gin" The man that sprung this gin
idea is regarded by many men who had
been looking for excuse to drink as a
public benefactor The news that gin is a
preventive spread like wildfire. An hour
after il was sprung the barkeepers were
handling gin bottles almost exclusively. and
since that time the trade has increased
rather than diminished At one OF the most
popular bars in the city more gin than Whis-
ky has been sold in the last few days and
this Is something heretofore unheard OF.

is a rather young and pretty woman,
charges that her husband has been carry
ing on with dashing young woman who
lives on an adjoining farm. Mrs. Collins

her, and once declared his intention of
striking her with an ak. A witness in the

Revolution in Car building.

A dispatch from Jeffersonville says:
Vice President Duncan, of the Ohio Falls
Car and Manufacturing Company. says in
an interview that the bottom is knocked
out of the ear building business for some
time to come. He states as his reason that
the freight cars they are now building are
about twice the capacity of the old-style
cars, cost 50 per cent less and will last
twice as long. This cuts quite figure, and
he does not expect much of boom in the
business after the railroads become sup
piled. The concern has about eight hun
bred cars now under contract"

MONON IMPROVEMENTS
IT'S GRADES REDUCED AND SHARP
CURVATUREs ELIMINATED.
The Big Four Shows an Increase In
Earnings for Last MOnth-A Fast
Run over the New York Central.

The current number of the Railway and
Engineering Review contains a cut Of the
Improvements the Monon has been making
in the vicinity of Cedar Lake in straight
ening curves and reducing grades, which
shows that this Improvement will enable the
company to quicken the speed of it's trains
and increase the number of cars on its
freight trains to such an extent as to soon
overcome the cost of the Improvement. The
work includes the elimination and reduction
of curvatures, the cutting down of grades,
renewing rails, reballasting the track and
fitting up picnic grounds at Cedar Lake,
$4,000 having been expended at that point.
Much credit is due to Ferd Hall, chief
engineer of the road, who has planned and
carried out these improvements. Between
Chicago and Monon all rails sixty pounds
per yard, in a total trackage of twenty-six
miles, have been replaced with seventy-fve-
pound rails. Some sixty-seven-po rails
still remain between these points, but none
of lighter weight. Between State Line,
and Monon twenty miles of track has been
reballasted, and between Monon and Indian
apolis thirty miles, in all of which the ma
terial used has been gravel. In addition to
this all pile or wooden bridges of short
length have been either replaced with pipe
cuverts and filled in or open culverts with
masonry walls have been substituted. Dur
ing the summer season Cedar lake is fire.
quently visited by large excursion parties
of picnickers. To provide facilities for this
traffic the company has carried out extern
sive improvements in large grove east of
the lake, the work embracing the building
of dancing pavilion, bowling alley, lunch
counter, swings, lighthouses and boats and
the construction of baseball ground and
bicycle track of four laps to the mile, both
in one field. The railroad track runs be-
tween this grove and the lake In order to
safely handle large crowds of passengers at
these grounds a side track was laid between
the main track and the lake, fenced off from
the main track From the side track land
ing to the picnic grounds, which are about
twenty feet above the level of the tracks,
wooden truss bridges were constructed span
ming the main track at two points, so that
passengers are not required to cross the
main tracks at grade in passing to the
grounds. By reduction of grades ii has
been possible to increase the freight train
loads from twenty-eight to forty cars. The
work of changing location and reducing
grades has been done principally at three
points, namely, Rensselaer,, Lowell and
Cedar Lake.

Earned e.. 900 a Day.

The Big Four in the month of October
earned $l,299 690.72, an increase of SAG. 92S67
over October 1896. and the best feature OF
the traffic for last month is that the heavy
business was done at a slight increase on
the part of the operating department in eX-
penses. With the power of the road in good
condition more cars have been hauled per
train, and in other ways economies have
been practiced which considerably reduced
the cost of moving freights The passenger
business, az we'll as the freight traffic
shows increased revenue over October 1896.

Bitter Rate War.

Another war of rates is on between the
railroads in the Trunk Line Association.
The war extends over the West and South
west. it is said, but it is especially bitter
among the lines east of Chicago. This con-
dition is ascribed chiefly to the very fierce
competition among the roads between Chi
cago and New York. 1t is expected how
ever that the Western roads will soon fol-
low the example set by the Eastern roads
and widespread slashing of rates may be
looked for.
