Attempted to steal "A Team.

A young fellow giving the name Of
Philip Vandil was arrested last Friday on
complaint of Mrs. Geo. Titamore, for at
tempting TO steal a horse. The family of
Mr.. Titamore were all absent from home
and Vandil entered the stable, harnessed
the horse and placing the best whip and
robe in the buggy was trying TO hitch in
the horse, which was young and not much
accustomed TO being hitched in, when Mrs.
Titamore came home. Nandil could give
no excuse for being thus engaged and Mrs
Titamore sent George Fairman for Sheriff
jackson, who arrested him and took him
before Justice NJ. l. Reed, who sent word
for States Attorney Robb and ordered the
prisoner held until Mr.. Robb arrived on
Saturday. Vandil could give no intelligent
account of himself, but claimed to be -
years old, son of Eli Vandil, who lives in
Southbridge, Mass, and has worked in a
spectacle mandatory. He seemed dazed
or half crazy, but was held for the Sep

was sent to jail at Newfane.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are a full or bloating sem
sation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery rsings, forma-
ton of gases, causing pressure on the heart
and lungs and difficult breathing: head
aches. tickle appetite, nervousness and a
general played-out. languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue. and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, inf1amed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before ii has time 10 ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion Is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According TO DIR. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is TO use after each
meal tablet composed of diastase. aseptic
pepsin. n little nux, golden seal and fruit
acids These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name OF Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent
medicine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr. N j. Booher, OF 2710 Dearborn street,
Chicago Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a local con-
dition resulting from a neglected cold in
the head. whereby the lining membrane OF
the nose becomes inflamed and the poison

of adjacent street and sewer assessments

asphalted at this time, at least five of

NOW PLATING LAND.
Owners Who Have Ground the Park
Board Wants.

At lengthy session the Board of Public
Works yesterday adopted long list of
resolutions for new improvements among
them one for cement walks and gravel
roadway on Annette street, North Indian
apolis, from Twenty-fourth to Thirtieth
street. Kcnwood avenue is TO be improved
in the same manner from Twenty-eighth to
Thirty-fourth street.
A petition for cement walks on North
street, from Meridian to West street next
the curb line, was referred to the engineer,
along with a number of others. a num-
Der of residents on North street have been
impressed with the pleasing effect of the
walks next to the curb line Walnut

ly improved. If there is not too much OPP
position the board will grant the petition.
The board decided to overru,e a remon-
STRANGE against the Improvement of In

this Improvement was confirmed without
modification.

THE PROBLEM UNSOLVED
As NOW SOLD, 5000 INTERCHANGEA-
BILE MILEAGE 4 FAILURE.
Origin OF the Rumors Concerning the
Resignation of General Manager
Ramsey, of the Wabash.

General passenger agents are greatly
disappointed that the 5O00-mile interchaT ge-
able mileage does not meet with better
sale. and the impression prevails that if
the issuing of interchangeable mileage was
confined solely to the Central Passenger
Committee and all the lines in the terri
tory to discontinue their mileage, a
solution of the problem would be secured
the association greatly strengthened and
the salvage would pay the expenses of the
association and handling the mileage books.
Under its present organization the stand
ard lines pay the largest proportion of the
expenses. This has always been a source
OF weakness to the association, it is to
all other organizations of this character.
Whether there is any reason for it or not,
the weak lines are always impressed with
the idea that the heavy lines are favored.
They assert that the strong lines always
dictate the appointment of the commits
sions and that their decisions influenced
by that fact. If the commission and assoc
citation were supported by the salvage the
weak lines would not have the cause for
complaint upon which they rest their posi-
ton. 1t has been suggested by a passenger
agent that 1.O00-mile book with a photo
graph will be the only form that all Of
the lines can agree upon, and that all other
forms of mileage should then be abolished.
4. solution of the interchangeable mileage
question would put the Central Passenger
Committee on basis which would make ii
the strongest association of it's character
in the country. That is. if the Central
Passenger Committee should issue the mile
age.

Twice in the last thirty days fast trains
of the Big Four have been delayed in the
city limits by fire hose being laid across
the main track. This led William Cars
tang, superintendent of motive power to
studying a plan by which the fire hose
could be raised that trains could pass
under, and he is now constructing what he
calls fire-hose bridge 1t will be con-
structed of gaspipe and completed, will not
weigh over 500 pounds, and can be so di-
vided as to be handled with ease. 1t forms
perfect bridge over the tracks high
enough for the trains TO run under safely
There Is a ladder on each side on which
a fireman can take the hose and easily lay
il across the bridge. Chief Engineer Bar
rett, OF the indianapolis fire department
has examined IL, pronounced ii very FEAST
BILE, and says he will do all i'm his power
TO make 1t the success expected. Mr..
Garstangs idea is for the Union Railway
TO order one built and then have it sub
Ject TO call from any road whose trains
are delayed in the manner above spoken
of, to be used the Union tracks or at
any point in the city limits. If desired,
rather than delay the trains. Chief Bar
rett says the Citizens Street Railway could
advantage, as it is not an uncommon thing
for cars TO be tied up for hours by fire hose
being across its tracks. Mr.. Garstang pro-
poses to construct one for the Big -Four
and possibly quite n number TO be used i'm
other CD where the same trouble is likely
to be 0k4drienced as at Indianapolis when
there are large fires.
