THIN PEOPLE
How the Weight May BE Increased i'm
HeaIthfuI, Natural Manner.

All people who are thin are not neces-
sarily so from disease, it is natural for
some to be thin and no amount of treat
ment would add an iota to their weight
but the great majority of people are thin
because their digestion is not perfect, their
stomachs do not thoroughly digest flesh
forming foods, they may not have chronic
dyspepsia, but their digestion is not vigor-
Gus enough to assimiate the food neces-
sary for robust health and to keep up their
weight.
For all such the new discovery for dys-
pepsia and indigestion comes as a most
welcome addition to the list of meritorious
remedies. The new discovery referred to is
StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets, which is not
only pleasant and certain cure for indi-
gestion, but possesses the peculiar power of
digesting heSh-forming foods. like meat,
eggs and similar ordinary foods, so that
the increase in weight is a perfectly nat
ural process. One grain of the digestive
digest 5000 grains of fiesh-forming food. DR..
Jennison recently stated that he depends
altogether upon these tablets for the cure
of dyspepsia and stomach troubles, and
that they not only cure the indigestion, but
in every case a gratifying Increase In
amount of flesh for health and symmetry.
DR. Harlandson speaks highly of the tab
lets, not only because they build up flesh
and cure indigestion, but they are absolute
ly safe and harmless, no matter what the
condition of the stomach, and are excellent
not only for the ordinary dyspepsia, put Tor
invalids and children.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are SOLD by all
druggists at so cents per package. ana
trial will convince anyone of their merits.

LOW RATE BY THE 500
CHEAP FARE FOR SHRINERS WHO
VISIT THE OASIS OF DETROIT.
Possible Decentralization in Western
Passenger Association Territory
May Earnings.

The Wisconsin Central has announced
that it will meet the round-trip rate of
Sls.75 made by the 500 line from st. Paul
and Minneapolis to Detroit for the meeting
of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine. The
rate is something under one fare for the
round trip and the Western roads are look
ing for the rate to demoralize the regular
one-way tariff between ST. Paul and De-
troit. The rate was made by the 500 line
without consulting any of the other roads,
and the latter are feeling very sore over
the matter. They are. they say, rapidly
losing patience with the policy of the Soc
line in making rates to- suit itself without
consulting anybody else, and they will in
the near future make a fight against the
500 unless it changes its tactics. The con-
duct of the 500 line is said to be in great
measure responsible for the Great Western

come members of the Western Passenger
Association They desire to be in a position
at all times to meet the rates and arrange

THREE CENT-FARE CASE
ORAL ARGUMENT BY STATE AND
CITY IN SUPREME COURT.
Attorney Generals Explanation Why
Street-Car Company People Did
Not Appear in Court.

The Supreme Court yesterday listened to
oral argument in the 3-cent-fare case.
The Street-railroad Company was not rep
resented in the argument nor were any of
its regular attorneys among the crowd in
the courtroom. John r. Wilson. attorney
of the City Company, listened to the ar
guments. The case at issue was the ques-
ton of affirming the lower court, which
had reversed the judgment of the Police
Court in fining John n. Navin, under an
old city ordinance imposing a fine for re-
fusal TO pay . cents fare. Navin's de-
Tense was that this ordinance was in
validated by the 3-cent-fare law, which
went into effect April Is, and the city main
tanned this law was unconstitutional.
The argument against the law was made
by City Attorney Curtis. About half of his
argument consisted of making the same
points made by General Harrison against
the law in the Federal Court, quoting the
authorities that had been there used by
Messrs. Miller and Winter, and the other
half was practically a reading Of the deci-
sion of Judge Showalter declaring the
3-cent-fare law unconstitutional
The attorney general spoke at some
length in defense of the law. He followed
closely his brief, filed the day before and
published in substance by the Journal yes
terday morning. He first demonstrated the
right of the Legislature to amend the law
under which the Street-railrOad Company
was Incorporated He gave much attention
to the decision of Judge Showalter and
quoted long line of decisions of the State
Supreme Court in direct contravention to
the doctrine laid down by Judge Showalter.
He went into careful review of the de-
bates in the constitutional convention to
show that the restrictions in the Constitu-
ton were in reference to the creation not to
the regulation of corporations. In his clos
ing sentence he referred TO the fact that
the Street-railroad Company had declined
to participate in the argument before the
court. They are not represented here,
said he. Like the ostrich of Old their
head is in the sand. They have chosen to
stand in another forum where they con-
ceiVe that they have an advantage. II you
declare this law unconstitutional you may
take your knives and cut up one-fourth of
the laws upon the statute books of Indiana
that subject to the same inhrmities."

sINGLETON's CASE.
State May Not Attempt Second
Trial.

State May Not Attempt Second
Trial.
The State may not attempt to try Harvey
Singleton, charged with killing Cal Vorhis,
a second time. Singletons attorney, John
O. Spahr, got a new trial for his client who
is still in the county jail. The first trial
was held in March, but Singleton was kept
here pending the motion of his attorney for
a new trial. The jury which convicted Sim
gleton gave him five years in prison. Judge
McCray granted a new trial on the simple
ground that the evidence did not warrant
the verdict in the case. The prosecuting
attorneys were much disguised over the
courts action and at the time announced
that it would be almost useless to go into
the case again.
Yesterday Attorney Spahr asked the court
to set the case down for hearing, and Judge
McCraY called Prosecutor Whistles atten-
ton to the request. The prosecutor asked
that the court do nothing until the State
had located the main witnesses who have
left the city The witness whose testimony
did more than anything else toward con-
Victing Singleton was DR. Frank Shreve,
who has gone West. Another important
witness was a woman who has also gone
away Without these witnesses the States
attorneys feel they can make no Roadway
very much in doubt about locating these
people. II the witnesses cannot be found
it is probable that Singleton will be turned

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANNUAL MEETING OF A PROSPEROUS
NEWS GATHERING CONCERN.
Election of Directors and Advisory
BOards-Banquet Last Night-Sub-
stantiaI Tributes to OfHcers.

CHICAGO, May 19-The fourth annual
banquet of the Associated Press was given
at Kinsley's this evening, the association
itself being the hosts as well as the guests
this year There were $40 members present
every seat being occupied. A year ago one
large table arranged in the form of horse
shoe was ample. This year the same form
was used, but it was necessary to have an
addition in the center extending the full
length of the room. There was less adorn-
ment of the tables than heretofore, the
only ornaments, very beautiful ones, how
ever, being immense punches of flowers
mainly red roses and lilacs in vases. Music
was furnished by Altamaro's Mandolin Or
chestra.
After the first toast the loving cup was
passed around by General Manager Melville
e. Stone, who announced the name of each
member as he drank the mention of the
name of all the better known members be-
ing greeted with applause. At intervals the
Roney Quartet of boys sang, and one Of
them sang a solo.
Just before the coffee st. Clair Nickel
vey, of the Brooklyn Eagle arose and said
there were many new faces present. They
were more than welcome. They belonged
to the present and the future The old
guard proposed TO ATTEST their appreciation,
esteem and affection of exemplars of past
services, to be an inspiration and an in
centiVe for. the future. He then, on behalf
of the old guard, presented President Law
son with d silver service, General Manager
Stone a silver loving cup, Assistant Gen
eral Manager Diehl a gold watch and each
OF the present and former directors a sill
yer medal, all of the gifts containing APP
propriate inscriptions acknowledging SerV-
ices rendered. The conclusion of his speech
was greeted with cheers. President Law
son, General Manager Stone and Assistant
prised, and made very brief acknowledge
ments, returning their sincere thanks for
the expression of regard and confidence.
Henry Watterson spoke for the directors,
expressing their thanks. He was thankful
for the peace and believed that it would be
a lasting and a prosperous peace. AT last
there was an associated press and he hoped
1t would endure ninety years, the life of
most of the contracts. (Appause)
Colonel Haskell, of the Boston Herald
was introduced as "a new recruit and
made a brief speech. Colonel Singerly, of
the Philadelphia Record, spoke next. Col
Taylor, of the Boston Globe who followed
was glad the war was over, as he had been
relieved of a great deal of trouble. The
other speakers were Clarke Howell, of the
Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, who well
coined the new recruits" Colonel Cowar-

forgiving them ALL expressed his great
gadness at being present and "one of
them. and Stephen OMeara, of the Bos-

BUSINESS MEETING.
Report of Directors and Election of
Advisory Boards.

CHICAGO, May 19-The annual meeting
of the Associated Press was held in Recital
Hall of the Auditorium to-day. The at
tendance was very large. In calling the
members to order President Lawson con-
graduated them on the outcome of the con-
test with the United Press, saying they
should continue to demonstrate by their
wisdom that they were worthy of the high
estate to which they had come.
The directors in their report stated that
a year ago they declared the Associated
Press had made great progress toward the
accomplishment of its original and proper
purpose: THE control and administration
of the news gathering and news distribut-
ing business of the country by the news
papers of the country" 1t was their priv
ilege and pleasure now to justify the
claim that the progress of the preceding
year had its complement in the achieve
mentS OF the past month, and to announce
that the idea had been ACCOMPLISHED the
Associated Press now including in its loyal
membership all the established newspapers
of the country, with comparatively few eX-
ceptlons. 1t was a matter for mutual con-
graduation that the contest, which had for
nearly four years divided the press of the
country had been brought to conclusion
which commanded general acceptance as
permanently assuring the best interests of
the whole American press. The Associated
Press met its enlarged responsibility with
q membership or bSl, yearly income of
about 81, 700, 600, a leased wire system of
%, 234 miles. and the daily receipt and de-
livery at each of the more important offices
of over $4,000 words.

Member.


Part of the officers of the Supreme Lodge
of the Order of Lincoln were made de-
PENDANTS in a suit brought yesterday in the
Superior Court by William E. Leach, of
IrviEgton. The suit is to collect an account
alleged to be due the plaintiff. The defend
ants are Robert Mcbride, Caleb S. Denny,
Frank Bowers, James r. Carnahan, James
r. Ross and Witter F. Baxter. The plain
tiff ayers he was employed to solicit naem-
bership for the Order of Lincoln, a branch

about two months ago. He says he was
to receive S. for each member and did bring
into the order It's names. The amount due
him he says aggregated $780, of which sum
he has received but $500. He demands judg-
ment for $3.50
The supreme officers of this city, who are
made defendants to the suit, say they have
nothing to do with the alleged account of

Baxter, who was the national organizer,
canic here and employed Leach to assist
him in gaining members for the orler They
were to receive So on each TIem5er, AID had
an agreement by which they would divide
this amount. This contract however, was
made between the local lodge ard the !lain-
tiff. The Order of Lincoln includes some of
the most prominent men of the city.
