THIN PEOPLE
How the Weight May he Increased in
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 ssslmlate 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 most
welcome addition TO the list of meritorious
remedies. The new discovery referred to is
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which IS not
only a pleasant and certain cure Tor lndt-
gestion, but possesses the peculiar power or

the increase in weight IS a perfectly nat

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
weight was noticed not fat but the proper
amount of flesh TOR health and symmetry.
DR. Harlandson speaks highly OF the tab

MISS RUssELL's SUCCESS.
Her First Festival Appearance in
This Country Saturday.

The sale of seats for the May festival
was resumed at the Big -Four yesterday
morning, there being an increased demand
over that Of Saturday. Many orders for
seats came from out Of town yesterday.
The directors, are grateful that the demand
seems to be growing for the opening and
Wagner concerts, in which the chorus will
have it's best opportunities, and the pro-
grammes of which are more varied than
that for the Calve night. There is every
reason to believe that the greatest Wagner
concert ever given in the city will be that
of Friday night. 1t will introduce to In
dianapolis Miss Ella Russell, one of the
greatest singers before the public. She
made her first appearance in a festival in
this country, in Hartford, Conn, last Sat-
urday and her singing caused tremendous
sensation. The Courant the leading paper
of the city, says of her:
Miss Ella Russell, the soprano soloist
of the afternoon concert completely won
the hearts of the large audience, ana Will
take her place with Melba, Nordlca ana the
other great singers who nave captlVdted
Hartford and who have left behind them
the richest of musical memories. A regal
woman, in face and figure, she mas the
necessary physique TO endure the singing
of great works which call for almost IL
tanic exertions of voice, and she enters
into her singing with an enthusiastic heart
mess that brings her at one with her
hearers, before many measures have been
sung. Her voice is true, sweet rich, of
great range, and she has an abundance
of 1t. At no time does she appear TO ran
below the requirements of the task she sets
before her. 1t is not strange that such u
singer with youth and freshness added to
her other qualifications, should have won
her hearers yesterday afternoon and that
at the close of each of her numbers the
applause was tremendous, and that she
was called to the platform again and
again amid cries of Bravo! and general
tumult expressive of pleasure.
Miss RusselPS first solo was a scene
from Webers 'ObeTon Ocean, Thou
Mighty Monster a composition calling for
great range of voice and dramatic expires
sion, presenting the theme in storm, in
calm, and closing with the triumph of the
shipwrecked mariner who is saved. Miss
Russell attacked this great scene with con-
fidence and poured forth through its
strongest moods great volumes of tone,
strongly shaded and reaching the highest
form OF dramatic expression. IN the mild
er moods of the work her voice was tender

AN OFFICIAL WHO TAKES 4 CHEER
Full VIEW OF THE SITUATION.
Receiver MaIOtt, of the Vandalia,
Files His RepOrt-Visit of Penn
syIvanin Inspection Party.

One of the best informed freight officials
in this section, in conversation yesterday
said: las matter of fact there is encour-
agement in the railway situation if one
carefully studies present conditions With
a majority of freight officials, the old plan
of working for tonnage regardless of rev.
enue, Is too prevalent, and this does nol
apply to the much-abused soliciting agent
any more than to the higher freight Off
Gals. Nine out of ten of the general freight
agents will criticise an agent when his tom
mage report shows less tonnage in any one
month, and never alludes to the revenue
derived on the business, which often shows
an increase over the corresponding period
of the previous year. But, coming back TO
facts, here is the Big Four, the Chesapeake
& Ohio, the Louisville q Nashville and
most of the Northwestern lines showing in
creased freight earnings over April of 1896,
and this on lighter tonnage, which means
better net revenue. With a number of
roads, which / could name the lowest
point has been passed, and the upbuilding
process begun and the business is now be-
ing handled on more economical basis
than at any former period. few years
ago freights were carried in cars of 10000
to 10000 pounds capacity; now eight out Of
ISii NcLS NSSu are OO,pVV pOufluS Capacity,
and an entirely new system Of loading cars
prevails. Few cars are hauled that are not
loaded to their full capacity, either in bulk
or tonnage. OF course 1 do not maintain
that 1897 has as yet demonstrated that it
is to be great year for railroads This
is matter of serious doubt, and depends
much on crops but it may safely be said
that the year opens well and bids fair to
make a better showing than did 1896. An
encouraging thing is the more confident
manner the railway presidents talk of the
outlook for general and railroad business,
the words coming from men who have care
fullS examined into the situation. The
president of the Chicago & Northwestern,
for instance, predicts that the Northwestern
within the next few years will make IA
vorable earning comparisons with those of
the Lake Shore. While there may be some
exceptions, in the main railway financial
methods are now clean and railway man

THE GAS MEN TO ENJOIN
DECIDE TO PROCEED AGAINST PROS
PECTORS IN OIL FIELD.
Committee Held Meeting in This
City observation-disclosures EN-
pIOyed to Assist in Prosecution.

The committee appointed by the manu-
facturers and gas men from the gas belt to
stop the waste of gas in the search for
oil at Alexandria met at the Grand Hotel
yesterday afternoon. 1t was decided that
the best way to stop the gas will be to file
an injunction against the prospectors. The
suit will be filed in the Anderson Superior
Court. Among those present at the meet
ing were the following: John w. Lovett
and H. J. E. Vanderwenter, of Anderson
James Murdoch of Lafayette; Harry
Smith, Hartford City; Theodore Rose and
r. j. Beatty, of Muncie; j. e. Lippincott
of Alexandria; w. B. Leeds president of
the American tin-plate works at Elwood;
John r. Pearson, vice president and general
manager of the Indianapolis Gas Company
and Ferdinand Winter, of the company;
Bement Lyman, of the Consumers Gas
Company, and Secretary Langdon, of the
Manufacturers Gas Company, of this city.
Mr.. Winter, who at the last meeting
seemed inclined to doubt the value of in
junction proceedings, had looked the matter
up more thoroughly and yesterday gave it
as his opinion that they should proceed by
injunction as well as by prosecution under
the fambeau law. Accordingly this will
be done by an injunction suit brought by
either the Kelly AK Company or the Lippin-
colt Glass Company, of Alexandria.
The general committee organized by elect
ing James T.. Murdoch chairman and Hugh
Mex Landon secretary and treasurer The
following gentlemen were selected as an
executive committee: T. f. Rose, Muncie;
II. T. Chisnell, Kokomo; j. e. Lippincott,
Alexandria; w. B. Lee Leeds, Elwood, and
Bement Lyman, indianapolis. This com
mitttee will have charge of raising funds
to prosecute the suits and employing coun-
sci. 1t has employed G. c. Shirley, of Ko-
komo to assist in the prosecutions and Mr..
Winter to assist III the injunction suit.
John W. Lovett, of Anderson, will appear
in the case, representing a number of man
ufacturers at Anderson and Alexandria,
and the attorney general will appear in the
Supreme Court in defense of the flambeau
law The field committee was also ordered,
composed of H. b. Smith, of Hartford City;
r. j. Beatty of Muncie, and j. b. Van
deVenter, of Anderson.

Mutual Life Case Stin Before the Cir
cult Court.

cult Court.
The Mutual Life Insurance Company liti-
cation was up for brief time yesterday in
the Superior Court, but very little was ac-
complished looking to an adjustment of the
concerns affairs. C. f. Coffin, represent
ing about $4,000 of stock in the company,
appeared in behalf of VIM. w. Shirk and
a large number of other policy holders with
a cross-complaint which he asked leave to
file. The cross-complainants We're against
the proposition to make the receivership
permanent. They averred that, as mem
bers of the Mutual Life, they are the own
ers of the company; that the business has
been carried on in good faith and that the
concern was perfectly solvent They asked
that the court call a meeting of the stock
holders permit them to select directors and
elect officers and that the court then di-
rect the receiver to turn over the books
and assets to the new company, so that
the business might be continued.
Charles w. Smith, representing the old
officers of the Mutual Life, contended that
this cross-complaint should not be admitted
by the court. He held there was nothing
to show that these ross-complainants
were all members of the company, and that
if they were admitted they should be re-
quired to show policies or certificates as

Moores shared the opinion of Attorney
Smith. The court then held that the COM
plant should be presented in a different
form, and advised the attorneys to amend
it so there would be one policy holder rep
resenting each department of insurance,
instead of a confusing list of names. The
matter could be simplified in this way, the
court thought and the same results could
be reached. Attorney Coffin withdrew the
