QUESTIONS CITY'S RIGHT
To Collect More Than a Lie nse From
Franchise Holders

Chicago. Oct. 4.-President c. c. BonS
ney, of the Chicago General Railway
company acting in the interest Of the
Yerl1es lines and the Chicago City Rail
way company has filed a brief in the
supreme court of Illinois, in which he
attacks the right of the city or other
municipal corporation to demand any
compensation, more than n license on
the cars run by street car company in
consideration of being allowed the use
of the public streets.
The brief was filed in the appeal of
the Chicago General company from the
suit of the city, in which the
latter seeks to collect the $500
mile compensation which is
agreed on in the formers franchise
ordinance. It's scope is much wider
than this, however, as the principle
set UP is that the city cannot demand
such compensation in any cases.
If the supreme court should sustain
Mr. Bonney's position, its decision
would only apply to the ordinances ex-
tending the two existing street car
franchises under the Allen law when
they are introduced in. the city council,
as they soon will be.
Mr.. Bonney's argument applies to
gas telephone and other franchises, as
well as those of the street car compa-

And Not Enough Meat Taken Into
the KIondlke Country.

Seattle. Wash. Oct. 4.-The steamer
Farrallon arrived here Saturday from
Skaguay, Alaska. The Farrallan had
on board 10 returning prOspectors
among the number being Louis Lang,
direct from Dawson City, which place
he left August &c. coming out on Dalton
trail. He stopped at Juneau
In an interview with an Associated
Press correspondent, Lang said: When
I left Dawson, the stores had stopped
selling supplies and restaurants had
closed because they could not get moth
ing to cook [ believe that provisions

miners are leaving. In my opinion 2OJ
or 800 will come out over the Dalton
trail within the next few weeks 6-hile
a great many others are going down by
St. Michael
1T was a great mistake for trading
companies to bring so much whisky
up the river, instead of supplies. Be
fore We left Dawson nine cattle had
been driven and four of them butch
cred. Choice cuts brought $3.50 per
pound, while soup bone was worth so
cents. 1 paid 81 and $1.25 per pound
for elk meat. AS we wanted to get
out as quickly as possible, I brought
but very few provisions, the entire pack
OF each man, blankets and all Weighing
about 60 pounds. We came up the
river to Five Giners and then out over
Dalton trail We left Summit
September q, in a snow storm and had
indian guides to show US the way. We
had to wade knee deep in snow. We
met the Sharp party u miles this side
of Summit. with their cattle and it
seemed to me doubtful whether they
would get in. It took US just twenty
seven days to get down to tidewater."
Another passenger on the Farrallon
was Henry Brathnober. the mining eX-
pert, who is confidential man for the
London exploration company, which is
controlled by the ROthschilds He has
been over the Yukon diegings going in
and returning over Dalton trail. He

Denver but now living at Montpelier.

man of Helena, Mont; O. D. CoIvin
and I. A. Garrett, of this city.
Mr. Garrett reached the summit of
White pass, with his partner. a man
named Macarthur. There they decided
that they could take in provisions for
only one man and tossed up to decide
who should push ahead. Garrett lost

turned to her Office. In about 20 minutes
the steward of the hospital telephOned

The doctor told the steward that it
would be very unwise for the patient to
leave.
Again in d few minutes the steward
telephOned and said that Henderson
was going away any way Well said
the doctor, If he is going, let him go.
That afternoon DR.. Wallace was call

time deeply agitated the press of
France. Gen. Miles talked interesting
" to a representative of the Associated
Press of his tour and although he de-
cHned to give any opinions upon Ger
tain questions, as the relative strength
of the French and German armies, his
comments upon the characteristics of
those two organizations as they i'm
pressed him while on exhibition in the
fed manOuevers at HOmburg and San
Quentin; were decidedly significant.
Concerning changes which may be
made in the organization and equip
ment of the American army as results
of his observations, Gen Miles would
not speak. Certain changes might be
made by executive action, others would
have to be authorized by congress.
Those matters were dealt with in his
reports and whether they would be
made known to the public depended
upon the secretary of war, to whom
the reports were made.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
ana indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
it was never intended for q medicine
and people who use it as such will some
day regret it
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
and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where it
accumulated in the inteStineS. causing
death by Inflammation or peritOnitiS.
DR.. HarlandSon recommends as the
safest and suTest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepSia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the maine
of StuaTtS Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lOzenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
uraI 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
the blood and nervous system

uses Sstuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements ard
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach. but by promptly digest
ing the food they create healthy ap-
