son Aluminium Company, which has un-
dertaken the construction of an immense
plant at Kanawha Falls, is pushing the
work rapidly. A great deal of masonry
has already been done. The company is

begin operations on the south side. The
company will raise the fall some or 4
feet by constructing a wall across the
river, making ii the most magnificent
water power in the country except at Nj

plant that will give energy equal TO
$4,000 horse power, OF sufficient almost
to run all the machinery in the State 1t

plant to transmit the power to run ma
chinery at various points in the Kanawha

DIES DOING HIS DUTY.
Waterman Falls I'm n Hole Left I'm
covered.

New York, Oct 3l-Rowland Patterson,
forty years old, a night watchman in a
stable at No 2I6 West Fifty-eighth
Street, was found dead at the foot of the
cellar stairs by his little son, who was
taking him his breakfast, early yester-
day morning.
Patterson had a wife and four small
children. The stable, in West Fifty-eighth
Street, is not yet completed, and the man
had been employed there only short
time.
When the boy arrived at the stable at
9 o'clock yesterday morning he could not
find his father. At last he went down
the cellar stairs, at the foot of which is
a square excavation in which several gas
and water pipes lie uncovered. He saw
the body of a man there, and ran up
stairs to tell Edward Colligan, coach
man. The latter called in Policeman Jonn
+. Brennan, of the bicycle squad, and
they went into the cellar.
They found the body to be that of Pat
terson. He had evidently descended the
cellar stairs during the night and fallen
into the hole, which had been left un-
covered. His head struck against the
lead pipes, causing a wound that produc-
ed death.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not be Alarmed. hut 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, II is
more often the result of weak stomachs
OF poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of 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 Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way. also the heart is affect
ed by that form of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food; there is a feeling of op-
preston and heaviness IN the chest caused
10y pressure of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action; hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes 1t thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble 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-
fective digestive preparation, like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain val
uable, harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular. per-
sistent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stomach

druggists at SO cents.

Trucking Interests Around Norfolk

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 31.-An idea of the
Importance of the trucking interests in
this section is given in the annual report
of Statistician E. E. Dawes, of the Board
of Trade and Business Mems Association
Some of the items in the tabulated state
ment are marked incomplete, being only
partial returns for the early months of
this year, and if completed would swell
the total considerably. In summing up
Dr. Dawes says that though the prices
realized on many crops were low, pota-
toes held up remarkably well, so that
taken all in all, sS,500,OO0 might be con-
sidered a fair average of the value of the
years business.

Japanese After Lenf Tobacco,

Richmond. Va, Oct. I.-During the past
week two or three japanese have been
here and stopped at the jefferson Hotel,
with a view of making arrangements in
this country for the purchase of leaf to-
bacco TO ship TO their factories in Japan.
They remained here two or three days,
and made a good impression upon the
business men with whom they came In
contact. These merchants were bright,
progressive and seemed to be well in
formed about the business affairs, not
only of their own country, but this one
as well.

IMPORTANT
TO MEN. MI
Dangerous Symptoms 8,

Many men become sexually weak early in life
or ut least prior to old ages Some because OF
dissipation high ksing;s some because OF
worry over bad crops, business reverses or anan-
cial failures; some because Of marital excesses;
but by far the larger RortiSp OF these who are
prematurely weak, debilitseed, impotent in
their sexual organs, have become through
early habits OF youth.
This weakness quickly cured by the use of The
Old DR.. Hallock Wonderful Electric Pills. Age
no barrier, These Pills restore the vigor OF
youth.
LOST MANHOOD may be conveniently divided
into three stages, foliows
First Stage-The main trouble is involuntary
night drains, which are usually accompanied
by dreams They are terrible drain upon the
system. They rob the blood of its richness,
and often produce pimpies. eruptions, dark rings
under TIE eyes, and like symptoms.
BY using these Electric Pills at this stage the
patient is quickly cured-the drains stop and all
the symptoms disappear.
Second Stage-The victim has drains, often
without dreams. He may have premature DIS
charges and shrunken organs. He shuns his
friends and avoids society. He Is often subject
to nervousness headaches, weak back, dyspeps
low spirits. loss Of memory, confusion OF ideas,
and lack Of energy, ambition, aud selfconhdence
Six boxes Of Pills should be used for this stage.
Gradually by their use the MAN is developed and
strength once more is returned.

REST THE DECAY, BUILD UP THE TISSUES,
AND THUS MAKE THE STEP ELASTIC AND

EDY LIKE 1T.
! Third stage-The drains are less frequent. The
sexual strength begins TO fail. In time all power
is wholly lost. The transmission OF life TO pos
terity is only empty dream. The poor victim
has lost his grip life Every cherished amb-
tion is dead. The world grows dark TO him
DON'T LOSE HOPE,
but Pills, ard they will restore to you
what you have lost-YOUR PRECIOUS MAN

THE INDIAN OIL LANDS.

Secure Them,

Wichita, Kan. Oct. 3L-The Cherokee
council will convene at Tahlequah, l. T..
on Tuesday. and the matter of leasing the
oil lands of the Cherokee nation to John
D. Rockefeller, the great Standard Oil
magnate will be one OF the most i'm
portant things to come before the coun-
Gil. Mr.. Rockefeller has two agents at
Tahlequah now looking after his interests.
II will be attempted by them TO secure
the passage of a bill through the Indian
council TO lease all oil lands, which COM
prise many thousands of acres and valu-
able wells, at small sums.

that the Indians, having become acquaint-

making objections. 1t is believed that
they will succeed in defeating the bill TO
lease the oil lands by threats upon lives of
members of the tribal council.
