THOUSANDS OF PAMPHLETS
To Be Distributed Among the Chris
tiau EndeaYorers

Realizing the vast benefits that Los
Angeles and Southern California will de-
rive from the visit Of the delegates to the
Christian Endeavor convention at San
Francisco. the chamber of commerce, at
the request of the local societies, has,
consented to distribute at the convention
hall from 10000 to $4,000 copies of an Illus
trated pamphlet descriptive of Southern
California.
The volume published under the aus
pices of the San Francisco merchants for
distribution among the delegates con-
tains but one small illustration cf Spring
street in this city, surrounded by cactus
and sage brush, and with this small rep
resentation Southern California is dis
missed.
In order to counteract the effect of this
action on the part of the San Francisco
merchants the chamber of commerce has
thoroughly endorsed the. requeet of the
local Endeavorers to assist them in the
publication and distribution of the
pamphlets on Southern California.
With this object in view, and in order
to invite as large an attendance of tour
lists to Southern California as possible
1t has been deemed necessary to ask the
financial support of the land owners and
merchants in order to defray the ex-
penses of the publication of the pamph-
let.
The local societies have been assured
of the visit of at least three thousand
Endeavor members who will be here
and stop over for a couple of days on
their way to San Francisco, and the
pamphlets will be distributed from the
booth especially set aside at the Me-
chanics' pavilion, where the convention
ie held, for the use of the Southern Cali
fornia delegation. The pamphlets will
be distributed from that booth, and four
or five Southern California delegates,
who are we'll posted on the resources and
attractions Of this section. will be con-
tinuously in attendance to advertise this
favored section. The chamber Of COM
merce expecte to receive a very liberal

HORSE IN THE SEWER.

In Spite of the Board and Red Lights
 the Driver Plunges His Horse Into
 the Hole
 Shortly after half-past ten o'clock last night horse driven by Charles Cook, the liveryman of Whitneyville, fell into the sewer that is being dug at Cot tage street and Whitney avenue. With Cook were another man and woman and several who saw the occurrence say that the members of the party were intoxicated. There was red light on each side of the excavation and blanks had been set up as a safeguard, but nevertheless the horse went overheard and the men and the woman were thrown headlong. into the hole along with the horse. By the light of an electric car that came along they were pulled out, but the poor horse could not be got out. Once, however, the men with the aid of the car men got him up so far that he could make an at tempt to get out, but in doing so he fioundered, this time falling on his knees with his head pinioned under the water main and his hind legs against the sewer. The groans of the tortured animal sent Cook hurrying around for help, but up to midnight the horse was still in it's strained position, with sev- eral curious people merely standing about watching him.

Here the uproar became so great that MT. Carroll was obliged to stop talk ing.
 MT. Hogan said, after the noise had partially subsided: q do not desire to prevent this tax, but I want to know before I vote, why I should vote, and what should vote for when the board of education comes to a district meet ing, and evidently don't know what eo~ Now they ask for three mills They told us before that no money would come from the town, but some did come. Now I claim that it is necessary to probe a little into the district ac- counts to itemize it. No common sense man here but believes that the passage of some tax is necessary, but we want to know why three mill tax is neces- .sary, if a two mill tax will do."
 From this point on the meeting was more of a mix up than it had been pre- viously. While vote was being taken on MT. Ullman's resolution, one man rose to his feet and attempted to speak. All attempts to drown his voice by yells were intellectual and finally two police officers, who had earlier been summoned to the hall to help preserve order, were directed by the chair to force him to take his seat. The officers sat one on each side of the inslstent in dividual and he was thereby induced to hold in his oratory. Finally the tell CTS were able to count the vote on MT. Ullman's resolution and it was an- nounced by the chair that it had been carried by vote of 193 to 146.

THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges. tion by Dietin, a Barbarous and Useless One.

Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges.-
 ton by Dieting a Barbarous and
 Useless One.
 We say the old way, but really 1t is a very common one at the present time, and many dyspeptics and physicians as well consider the first step to take in attempting to cure lndisesting is to diet, either by selecting certain foods and rejecting others or to greatly di- minish the quantity usually taken; in other words, the starvation plan is by many supposed to be the first essen- tiel. .
 The almost certain failure of the star vation cure for dyspepsia has been proven time and again, but still the moment dyspepsia makes its appear nnce q course of dieting Is at once ad- vised.
 All this is radically wrong. It is foolish and unscientiflc to recommend dieting or starvation to man suffer- ing from dyspepsia, because indiges- tion itself starves every organ and every nerve and every fibre in the body.
 What the dyspeptic wants is abund- ant nutrition, which means plenty of good, wholesome, well-cooked food and something to assist the weak stomach to digest 1t. This is exactly the pur- pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets are adapted and this is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia; in other words, the patient eats plenty of wholesome food and Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for him. In this way the system is nour- ished and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food, whether the stomach works or not. One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
 Your druggist will tell you that Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest remedy sold for stomach troubles, andF every trial makes one more friend for this excellent prepara- tion. Sold at 50 cents for full sized packages at all drug stores.

There Was a Decided Slump in Stock

1estefUay.
 New York, Sept. 3O.-The character of the dealings in the stock market to- day did not differ in any respect from those of yesterday. Prices were raided down with great facility, and the de- cline invited large offerings. The slight rallies which occurred a few times, on the contrary, led to an almost total cessation of activity, and the up- ward course of prices was halting and difficult.
 The net decline achieved to-day is very much greater than that of yester- day, only because the bears reserved their greatest efforts for the last half hour of trading, leaving no opportunity for recovery. This was apparently ow- ing to an added confidence on the part of the bears who were content to leave their short contracts uncovered over | night.
 The market continued almost wholly professional, and the dealings seemed to be confined to the room traders, ex- cept where the sharp declines uncover ed orders placed to stop losses. These were in large volume and aided mate rial1y in the decline. A noticeable in- cident was the reversal of the position of operators for the London account, who were sellers to-day. London prices also came lower.
 Aside from technical conditions, everything continued to indicate an in- crease in the earnings, capacity and ac- tual value of property. The statement of earnings of Burlington for August shows an increase in net earnings of $344,276 and is ample indication of the enormously increased triffic which is being handled by the railroads. 1 Other August increases reported were Erie $1OO,997; St. Joseph and Grand Island, $s3,99S, and Chesapeake and Ohio, $43,056. Weekly earnings to hand for the third week of the current month were equally encouraging, the improve ment extending even to some of the soft coal roads.
 The resignation of the Spanish min- I istry and the prospects of a Liberal government in Spain were accepted as I tending to ameliorate the relations be- tween that country and the United | States.
 | A decline in sterling exchange of a half cent in posted rates and one and one-quarter cent in actual rates brought the price appreciably nearer to the gold 1 import point and was favoring factor to increase in prices, as were a slightly 1 easier tone in the money market and a somewhat reduced volume of clearing house exchanges.
 The bears forced the decline in spite of all these conditions and made espe- cially fierce raids on special stocks, practically all of the active list show ing net loss of over point and in many cases exceeding two points. To- cal gas stocks were the feature of the days trading. Manhattan was under heavy pressure and lost 2% net
 Values of railway mortgages held firm against the decline in stocks on reduced dealings. Total sales reached only $1,- 1 225, 900.
 Government bonds were strong The new and the old As and the 5s were advanced h to 4 bid all around There were sales of the new As coupon at 1251s to 125A.
