DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDI-
CINE.
Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and stom-
nch Troubles.

DR.. Wurth, In commenting on recent dis
covcries in medicine. said. There is none
which is certain TO be so valuable and far
reaching In benefit as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, the new stomach remedy; | say far
reaching because people little realize how
important q sound stomach end vigorous di-
gestion is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of con-
sumption, heart disease. Bright's disease,
diabetes, nervous prostration, liver troubles:
why is this so? Simply because every nerve.
muscle and tissue in our bodies is created
and nourished from the food we eat. IL
that food is, by reason of weak stomach.
compelled to lie for hours. sour, ferment-
ing mass of half digested food, 1t poisons
the blood and nervous system, creates gas
which distends the stomach and bowels.
causing pressure on the heart, lungs and
other organs and seriously impeding their
action.
He says further. the point to direct at
tention is not the nerves nor heart, nor
lungs, nor kidneys. but the stomach, the
first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but a
remedy which viii digest the food. increase
and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will accom-
plsh exactly this result in any case Of stom-
ach trouble. because these tablets are COM
posed of the digestive acids, aseptic pepsin.
Golden Seal and Bismuth, pleasant to taste,
and not being patent medicine, can be
used by anyone with perfect safety. be-
lieve Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure
any form of indigestion and stomach trouble
except cancer of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents.
A book on stomach diseases together with
thousands of testimonials will be sent by

THE JOURNALS QUARTERS.
Chicago Federationist Pays Them a
Compliment.

The Chicago Federationist, in it's last
number, has an article by Editor George

composing room. 1t is as follows:
"One day recently it was my pleasure to
be taken through the new office of the In
dianapolis Journal, and 1t was a revelation
to me to find that in many respects the
Journal office is ahead of any newspaper
plant in America. The Journal has a bat
terry OF ten machines, and the motive power
is electricity. The shafting is underneath
the floor. The composing room and press
room are in a separate building from the
business office and editorial rooms and con-
nected with covered hallway. The COM
posing room is one of the best lighted and
ventilated rooms ever saw. The ceiling is
high, and in the center is a massive sky
light On three sides of the room there are
windows which permit an abundance of
light and fresh air The machinist has
corner for himself where he can do his re-
pairing and cleaning, and everything Is in
apple-pie order. The "ad' department Is
marvel All the type is contained in five
cabinets, and everything is in series. In the
composing room are any number of unique
shelves and slides for galleys mail list, ex-
ira matter, etc. and there Is a neatneSs
about it all that speaks volumes for me-
chanical genius. The proof room is in one
corner by itself-and is in reality two dis
tinct and separate rooms. A little wire rail-
ing box is affixed so that II is within reach
of either proofreader, and the galley boy
places the proofs there. The first reader
out grabs proof and places it in box in
front of his own particular wire when fin
ished The foreman has a room to himself,
conveniently located. From this room an
electric railway, on the principal of cable,
has its starting and its finishing point. IL is
used, something like the pneumatic
tubes in in Chicago. for trans
porting copy to the composing room
from the different editorial depart
ments. A little round leather recep-
tacle is hooked on to cable and away 1t
goes to the point for which it is designed.
This railway Is so arranged that the car
can be automatically switched off at any
room desired by means of a simple num-
bered slug adjusted in the proper place. 1t
is one of the most interesting things about
invention. The press room, stereotype
ROOM mailing room and business Office are
all models OF neatness and mechanical
genius. The library is at the disposal OF

A LETTER FROM CHAPLIN.
Says He Will Face Charges Against
Him at Proper Time.

1t is stated that Fred Chaplin, who left
indianapolis rather peculiarly few months
ago, after disposng of his interest in the
Charlemont Hotel, at Illinois and st. Clair
streets, has been heard from indirectly by
people in this city, and that he expects to
return here and meet the charges that
have been made against him. 1t is recalled
that there are two suits on notes pending
in the Circuit Court with the name of
Sterling Holt attached as indorser Mr.. Holt
charges that his signature has been forged.
These notes were executed by Chaplin.
One of Chapin's acquaintances said a few
days ago that Chaplin had sent word back
that had he not feared arrest and impris-
onment the moment he arrived in the city
he would have returned long ago. Chaplin,
it is asserted, has made the statement that
the notes given the Brazil banks are not
forgeries and that Mr.. Holt signed them.
The young man sends word that he will be
in indianapolis when the proper time ar
rives to defend himself against the charges.
One of the suits brought by the Brazil
banks will come to trial early in April.

The IA. c., p & G. Boycott.

The cessation of through billing arrange
ments between the Western roads and the
Kansas City, Pittsburg G. Gulf may lead to
some important complications. 1t was an
nounced some time ago that arrangements
had practically been completed between
the Pittsburg e. Gulf and the Burlington
for the Inauguration of through passenger
service from Port Arthur to Chicago, the
Pittsburg & Gulf tracks to be used to Quin-
cy and the Burlington tracks from Quincy
to Chicago. 1t was intimated yesterday
that this arrangement will probably be
abandoned and that the Pittsburg & Gulf
road will find an outlet for it's through
passenger business to Chicago over the
tracks of the Chicago Great Western road
from Kansas City. The Chicago Great
Western has refused to cease friendly rela-
lions with the Pfttsburg &. Gulf. So far as
the public is concerned the proposed change
will not make much difference, either in
distance or time, but 1t would not be so
good an arrangement for the Pittsburg &
Gulf, because it would not have so long a
haul of the business. The Chicago Great
Western would profit considerably by such
a deal. The boycott which has been in
augurated does not appear to frighten the
Pittsburg & Gulf to any great extent. 1t
says it has as much business now as it
can haul and will be able to hold it's own
against all Odds

WOULD ABOLISH MILEAGE
PROPOSITION THAT Is BELIEVED
TO HAVE SOME MERIT.
A Handsome Increase in Earnings of
indianapolis Lines-MisceIIa-
neOus Railway News.

Senator Leets, of the Ohio Legislature.
has introduced a bill in which it is pro-
posed to abolish mileage tickets and the
ong-haul clause and compel railways to
carry passengers at so much per mile and
without rebates. Passenger officials are
giving the proposed bill considerable atten-
ton, conceding that it has some merit
mere are few, if any, railway problems
Whlch 1T is more difficult TO solve and do
justice TO all parties than that Of the mile
age book, and no other question is being
more discussed than that of the use and
ABUSE OF mileage. c. e. Henderson when
general manager of the Indiana, Blooming
ton d Western, took the position that their
introduction was a curse to the railroads,
ana at one time went so far as to write an
order to discontinue the honoring of mileage
on the Indiana, Bloomington & Western
INES He took the ground that it made
uishonest conductors and tended to create
dishonesty on the part of the persons who
used mileage. A number of cases were
brought to his attention where both parties
had proffted by the use of the mileage book
TO the disadvantage of the railroad COM
pany, but he found that the mileage book
had got into general use to such an extent
that 1T would 1be hard for any one road to
discontinue its use on its own line; still,
he was pronounced enemy of the mileage
book. In speaking of the present conditions
a local passenger official said yesterday that
he would be glad If the rate was made 2
cents per mile, with a rule that no person
should board train until he had a ticket
and presented it to an official of the train,
who should punch it before he could enter
the coach
The Chicago e. Alton compels every per-
son who boards one of their trains to show
his or her ticket before passing to the
train. An official of that road said yester-
day: Our conductors are well paid and
express themselves as highly pleased with
the plan, which has now been in force some
months. When a traveller complains of this
method of doing business it is safe to say
that he has been in the habit OF tampering
with his ticket, and has financially benefited
thereby. A passenger conductor who stood
near and heard the drift Of the CONVERSE
ton said he would be the happiest man in
the world were the road on which he was
employed to adopt some plan by which he
would have only straight tickets to collect,
as it would put a stop to the misuse of
mileage and best of all, to conductors hav-
ing to receive cash fares.

George II. Chapman Post, G. A. r.. has
appointed committee of twenty-five active
members who have been in the post for
over five years to make a special effort to
increase the membership by getting back
into the post the delinquent members. The
rolls now show an active membership of
1873, while there are over three hundred
members living who have been dropped for
nonpayment of dues. With a view of
reaching these men, March 19 has been set
as the date for social meeting of the post,
and this committee is to invite all the de-
linquent members to attend. They are not
to be solicited at the meeting to pay up
their dues and be reinstated, but it is ex-
pected that this result will follow the good
fellowship of the social meeting. A Martha

JACK" STEWART ACQUITTED.
He Shot saloon Keeper Gates I'm Self
Defense-The Latter Fined.

Judge Cox decided in Police Court yes
terday morning that Jack" Stewart acted
in self-defense when he shot at Saloon
Keeper Joseph Gates in MeCauley's saloon
a few weeks ago, and wounded Frank r.
Carson. The evidence went TO show that
Gates attacked Stewart with a black
jack" and that the latter fired two shots
when he was attacked. one wounding Gates
in the fleshy part of the leg and the other
lodging in Carson's hip. Stewart was ac-
quilted. Gates was fined $25 ana costs, $50
in all. The fine was stayed. There was no
evidence that Stewart intended to harm
Carson. The testimony went to show that
the proprietor of the saloon brought the
two men together after Gates had been
in his saloon making threats of what he
would do 10 Stewart If he ever met him.
Judge Cox minated that whoever was re-
sponsible for bringing the two men to-
gether when Gates was under the infiu-
ence of liquor was the most culpable and
ought to be punished If there was any law
to reach him.
