WAR ON CARNEGIE.
j. Pierpont Morgan is Forming a
Rival Steel Rail Pool

New York, Feb. IA new pool of
companies engaged in the steel rail in
dustry is being organized. ]. Pierpont
Morgan is the prime factor in the
movement and his banking house will
act as a sort of clearing house for
members of the pool.
1t is to be a consolidation of interests
against the Carnegie company The
Illinois Steel company, among others, is
slated for membership. John w. Gates
of that company and John D. Rockefel-
Ter are rivals, and as Mr.. Rockefeller
has Joined hands with the Carnegie
company, the leading owners of the IL
linois Steel company will be divided in
interest.
The recent breakup of the old pool
began last Friday, when the Bethlehem
Iron company secured a contract for
100 miles of rails to be laid in the Ar
gentine republic at $17.65 f. o. b. New
Orleans, deliveries to be in monthly lots
running over eighteen months. The
same day the Illinois Steel company
closed contracts for 100000 worth OF
rails to be delivered in a year to the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the
Chicago, Rock Island & Western rail-
ways at $21 per ton Three hours later
the Carnegie company offered to FUR
nish the rails at $50 and continued on
Monday of the present week to offer
to take unlimited contracts at that fig
IRE Tuesday Carnegie cut the price
to ST and the pool at once dissolved .
Competition between the mlscellane-
Gus companies IN the Morgan poor anu
the Carnegie company will be keen
from now on. On Monday next every
mill in Illinois will be opened and the
Pennsylvania mills will be put on full
time.
The companies operating against Car
negie will go after business at decreas-
ing prices, but with the understanding
that no company is to close contract
without first consulting the other com
panies through J. Pierpont Morgan &
Co.
The Illinois Steel company has gone
into the territory adjacent to the Rock
efeller property in the Mesaba iron
range and has leased mines and made
traffic arrangements to have the ore
carried to the independent mills on IA
vorable terms.

POSTMASTER GEN'L SUED.
Fraud is Charged in Awarding Con-
tract for Mail Boxes.


Washington, Feb pa bill in equity
has been filed here by Solomon c. Winn
of Toledo, o., against the postmaster
general and VIM. D. Mayberry and w.
H. Ellis of Detroit, Mich, to compel

into such a contract for more than
year, and that the additional cost in
volved in the contract is $4,000 above
Winn's bid.

ing instead a rule to show cause, which
was served on Postmaster General Will

BOY PLAYS BANDIT,
With Wooden Gun He Threatens
Cashier and Secures Five Cents.

Waukegan, Ill, Feb. 12.-Felix Kenil-
worth, a small boy living on the west
side, is town talk today because of the
nervy bluff he made yesterday after
noon at being a bold, bad bandit who
was going to rob the First National
bank.
Dared by young comrades, Felix, who
is yet in knee pants, donned a black
mask and armed himself with a feroc-
Jus looking wooden pistol.
Watching his chance he entered the
bank and presenting himself before
Cashier Wards window Felix pointed
his pistol at him and exclaimed as ser
iously as he could, Hands up! Your
money or your life!''
Charley Wizard didn't scare at such a
small bandit, but entering into the ap-
parent humor of the event, raised his
hands and parleyed with the bad little
man, who wanted SIS.
The bank had but $3.50, said the
cashier, would that do? Yes, it would
Then the bandit was invited into an
other room and policeman called.

who he was, he was released with five

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia and
Stomach Troubles.
Ridieule, However, is Not Argument
and Facts are Stubborn Things

Stomach troubles are so common and
in many cases SO obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion ON
any remedy claiming to be radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
plugged, especially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far. in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak indigestion rather than risk a lit
tie time and money in faithfully test
ing the claims of a preparation 50 rella-
Bile and universally used as Stuart'S
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine. no secret is
made of their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
SeStive ferments, pure aseptc pepsin,
the digestive acids. Golden Seal bis
muth, hydrastis and nux- They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerful
ly on any organ, but they cure indiges-
ton on the common sense plan of di-
costing the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore il has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because they act entirely upon
the bowels, whereas the whole trOuble
is really in the stomach.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals, digest the food That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison, as ii creates gas,
acidity, headaches, palpitatiOn of the
heart, loss Of flesh and appetite, and
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
