AFTER THE FLOUR TRADE.
Representative OF the Marquette
Line In This City.

Line In This City.
That the Flint & Pere Marquette road, Of
Michigan, is in the Minneapolis fiour-carry-
ing trade to stay and give battle, is an ac-
cepted fact. and the claim was practically YER
lied yesterday by the visit to the city Of AS
sistant General Passenger and Freight Agent
II. +. Moeller, Of the line named. Mr.. Noel
Ter is looking after the trade prospects, and
is very much encouraged. He is quoted as
saying that the F. & p. NJ. will set its line
of new car ferry steamers in operation within
a few weeks, and will commence the competi-
ton by carrying flour across the lake in cars
without breaking bulk and by reducing the
time. 1t Is very likely the road will claim q
dInerential The road will operate via ke-
waunee.
Another very interesting rumor in connec-
ton with the competition of the Flint g. Pere
Marquette is that the road during the summer
tourist season will transfer passenger trains
as well as freight, and that east-bound tour
lists will be given the novelty of a lake voy-
age while still aboard their trains. The new
car ferry steamers of the line are immense
concerns, and are built with an idea to
speed as well as strength and capacity. The
boats will be able to make two round trips
a day, aggregating 232 miles.

Fifteen Years in the British Parliament"
was the theme Of John e. Redmond's lecture
last evening at the Lyceum theater. The
audience which greeted the distinguished
commoner was quite large, combining the
wealth and intelligence with the speculative

of the lecturer gave rise to large anticipa-
lions, and the fattering attention accorded
him indicated the general feeling Of pleasure
at the breadth of his intellectual resources
and the spirit Of his reminiscent discourse.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, Make a Test
of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an India
napOIis' Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight Of; the
stomach is the organ to be looked
after. t-
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
nave any pain whatever in the
stomach, nor perhaps any Of the usual
symptoms Of stomach weakness Ner-
VOus dyspepsia shows itself not in the
stomach so much as in nearly every
other organ; in some cases the heart
palpltates and is irregular; in others
the kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss OF flesh and appetite, with accumu-
latlon OF gas, sour risings and heart
burn.
Mr.. A. W. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "a motive Of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines

cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

dyspepsia for the last four years: have
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable

sedentary habits being a bookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but I am
glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles, for have

v. S. MEDFORD.

1t was with sorrowful heart
that the writer stood by the bed
side of V S. Medford Sunday even
ing and saw him die with his breast
and side stained with blood and IL
dark hole just under his heart
where IL murderous bullet had
entered.
Mr.. Medford. according to his
own statement, had been in town
NEARLY all day Saturday and left for
I home Saturday night about 10 or
II O'clock. He was on horseback
and when he reached the cattle
pens in the lane about two miles
from Sinner on the way to the
home of his brother, p. /. Medford,
where he lived, he saw some one in
the road ahead on horseback walk
ing his horse. He whistled to the
man in front and FASTENED to over
take him when the man turned and
fired at him with lorty.fve. The
first shot passed over his head, but
the second, sent with unerring aim,
struck him in the left breast, grazed
the heart and came out at the back.
Mr.. Medf0rd made oath that he
recognized the rider as Charlie
Brod and called out to him, "you
have shot me, Charlie, now come
and help me. The man put spurs
to his horse and galloped away at
full speed. With wonderful forti-
tude and rerve Medford rode on
about mile and stopped at VIM.
Berckenhoff's house Mr.. Bercken-
hoff being aroused came out, helped
Medford into the house and onto a
cot and FASTENED for doctor as
fast as he could ride. Doctor Ed
son was soon on the scene but at
once pronounced the wound fatal.
early in the morning the stricken
lnan was taken to his brothers
home and every effort made to
alleviate his suffering. Some time
about daylight Justice Blohm went
TO Medford's bedside and took his
statement. The dying man stated
positively that he recognized his
murderer and made clear, concise
statement. County Attorney Blakes-
lee was telephoned for and arrived
ON the noon train Sunday and at
once went out to see Medford and
also receive his statement. At
torneys Leonard & Gray were also
present, Meanwhile Charlie Brod
had been arrested ut the home Of
John Brod by Constable Pat
Muckleroy and was taken to the
Medford house and Medford still
stated positively that he was the
man who. shot him. Brod was
taken back to Sinner and held.
About 5 o'clock in the evening
Medford began sinking and the
doctor was summoned in haste
The writer accompanied him to the
tcene of the murder. r. l.. Eschen-
burg and Dick Seydler were also
along On arriving Mt the house
the wounded man was found strug-
Cling for breath and nearly gone.
Around his bedside were gathered
lis BROTHER p. L. Medford, his
hrother's wife, George Phillips of

Mr. Dykes. AS the dying man
grew weaker and weaker and it was
seen that he had only II few minutes
70 live, the question was put to him,
