RaSlroad Poetry.

The Railroad Editor of the Pittsburs
Post believes in enliveniug his rail
road columns. A few days ago h,
gave vent to the following:
Since the B. & o. commenced
running solid blue line trains from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati they hav,
placed two splendid Pullman cars OF
standard blue color, one on each
train. One sleeper is called the
''Harmonia'' and the other "Elinor. -
The poetical appellations have aroused
the railroad editors sleepy muse and
the machine produced the following
The blue line runs from shore to shore
Harmonic and the Elinor.
Two Pullmans Of the royal tiut,
With brightest plush of golden CLINT,
And richest woods of deepest stain
Add to the beauty of the traia.
And in the front a mighty steed,
Faster than ever Ukrain breed
Gave to the sons of "Araby''
BUSHES along amazingly,
A steed of iron and of steel,
Whose limbs no WEAKNESS can feel
The blue line of the B. & o.
Is famous now where ere you go,
II gives the poor and the elite
A setvice which is tout of sight,
And in the fraction of day
Will run 800 miles away.

DIR. SWALLOWS DEFENSE
He Is Given Another Chance to Prove
His Charges Concerning the Fire
at the State Capitol.

Harrisburg, April 13.-Rev. Dr. Swal-
low was given another chance tonight
by the joint legislative buildings and
grounds committee to prove his charge
that the burning of the capitol was the
result of cdrelessness. Several Witness
es were called by the doctor, but they
gave no testimony in support of his al
legation. Charles Stock, a Harrisburg
fireman, was recalled by Swallow and
testified that he smelled oil at the ele-
Vator opening. but admitted that he
could not tell whether it was oil used
for luhricdting the elevator machinery
or coal oil. 5. Linn Sholl, a paster and
folder testified that he had discovered
fire in the cellar at the spot where
Stock had seen it later. II was burn
ing up through the floor and he had
tried to eXtinguish it with buckets of
water
Inspector McDevitt, for two years the
expert of the Philadelphia fire patrol
stated today. after a thorough cxamin-
alton of the building with members of
the committee, that the fire in the cell
lar discovered by Stock was caused by
hot ashes and sparks falling through a
flue which ran from the cellar into the
second story above. The committee
adjourned to meet at the call Of the
chair.

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, simple, but safe and
EHcctuaI Cure for II.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and II the In
terror of the stomach could be seen 1t
would show a Shiny, infamed condi-
tion.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to 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 disap-
peared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsln, little NuX,
Golden Seal and fruit acids These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuarts Dys-
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-
low their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. j. Booher, Of 2710 Dearborn
St, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh Is
a local condition resulting from a ne
elected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infiamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of stomach
