dove he had courted and won. II re-
minded him more of a man filing buzz

deemed it wise to make his wife pres

taking several more glasses of liquid

Mr.. Gilgal slowly backed away from

SNOWSTORMS IN THE WEST.
Colorado, Wyoming and South Da-
kOta Feel the Heaviest Ones.

kOta Feet the HEAVIEST OneS.
Chicago, Jan. 13.-Reports received from
points in the West Indicate that a heavy
snowstorm prevails, though the wind has
been moderate and the weather not in
tensely cold.
Snow and rain fell in Kansas last night
and heavy snow began in Colorado and
wyoming Snow fell in South Dakota and
in Minnesota; the flakes are falling south
of the central portion of the State and in
Wisconsin and Michigan also.
The snowfall was heavy in the Missouri
valley, and came eastward with great ra-
pidity. At Carlyle, ILL.,. six inches had
fallen before midnight. st. Paul and Min
neapolis, Sioux City, Omaha, ST. Joe, and
ST. Louis were all in the path OF the storm,
and either snow or rain fell heavily in each
place before morning. AT Duluth the winds
were high and Lake Superior was unsafe.
Throughout Nebraska and portions of
Montana it was showing all day yesterday,
and drifts have formed in the railroad
cuts Tie snow, however, is light and fine,
and the drifts are therefore not serious.
On the range the cattle can easily get to
the grass under the snow. Reports, how
ever, indicate heavy fall in temperature
as s.probabie, and this win put new and
serious phase on the situation.
The Nebraska grain men are jubilant over
the weather, rs they say there never was
so much moisture in the State in this sea-
son as at present.
Throughout Iowa heavy SHOWS are also
reported.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING The RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause,

Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, it
is more often the result OF weak stomachs,
of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable:
but not one case in a hundred or heart
trouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches OF the same great
nerves the eSympathetican s and PneuInogastric
In another way also, the heartis affected
by that form ofpoor digestion which causes
gas and ferme ntation from half tiigeste,i
food; there is a feeling of oppression and
heayiness in the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, Interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitaton and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irritates
and weakeDs the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular use,
after meals of some safe, pleasant and ef-
fectiye digestive preparation, like Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain yaIu-
able, harmless digestive elements, in a
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, persis-
tent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time viii cure any form of stomach
trouble, except cancer OF stomach.
Fun size packages of the Tablets sold by
most druggists at so cents or by mail from

DISTRICT BILLS In CONGRESS
Hearing Upon the Great Falls Wa
ter Power Measure. q
The District Liquor Iaw-Gen. Bir-
ney on Behalf of the Market
Company.

The House District Committee this morn
ing listened to the plea of the friends OF
the Great Falls Water Power Company,
who desire the government to purchase it.
Chairman Babcock said 1t was one OF the
most important bills now before the conn
mittee.
Gen. Birney was before the committee as
attorney for the Washington Center Mar
ket Company. The matter before the COM
mitUee is the Senate resolution regarding
the occupancy of B street by farmers and
gardeners. Gen Birney offered fouramend-
ments, any one OF which would be satis-
factory to the company. They are:
4 provision that the resolution should not
be construed as changing the southern
boundary OF the market; that there should
be no extension of the Market boundary;
that the property rights OF the United States
or the company should not be affected; and
that there should be no extension of the
Market limits defined in the charter of the
company.
Clerk Charles Moore Of the District Com
mttee has completed a draft OF the Dis
trIct liquor law as 1t would stand If the
Morse amendments become law. In making
this draft he has been compelled to choose
between the contradictory paragraphs in
sundry portions or the bill as il passed the
House. The Times recently called attention
TO the defects in the bill as il now stands
In the draft which Mr.. Moore has made
for the committee he has taken the amend
ments of sections Ia and 1 5 rs recited the
second time. In the bin as 1T comes from
the House these sections are first amend
ed, aud then stated as amended, but the
language is differently given in each case.
The two sections, ,-tis they now appear in
the Senate committees draft of the bill,
read as follows:
section / /. That any person assisting
in or aiding and abetting the violation OF
any OF the provisions OF this act shall be
guilty Of a nisdemeanor and on conviction
thereof shall be fined not less than $50 nor
more than $loo. or be imprisoned in the
District Jail or workhouse for not more than
one month, for each and every such offense;
provided, that no witness shall be excused
from testifying in any case brought under
this act on the ground that his answer
may tend 10 iRcrinhnate him; but no wit
ness so testifying shall thereafter be prose
cuted for violation OF any provision OF
this act concerning which such witness
may have testified.
Section 3. That prosecutions for viola
tions OF the provisions Of this act shall be
on information flied in the police court by
the attorney Of the District OF Columbia or
any of his assistants duly authorized 10 act
for him, and said attorney or his assistant
shall file such information upon the pre-
sentation to him or his assistants of sworn
information OF two witnesses, citizens of
the District of Columbia, that the law has
been violated"
The bill, an redrafted. has been ordered
printed for the use of the committee.

The differences, however, between en-

points of distinction the finer chicken or
