To CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good

OF stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having 1t think that their nerves
are to blame, and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicines
and spring remedies; the real seat Of
mischief is lost sight of; the stomach
is the origin to be looked after.
Nervous dyspepttcs often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach,
nor perhaps any of the usual symp-
toms of stomach weakness Nervous
dyspepsia shows itself not in the stom-
ach so much as in nearly every other
organ; in some cases the heart palpi-
tates and is irregular; in others. the
Kidneys are affected: in others the
bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with the ac-
cumulation of gas, sour rlsings and
heartburn
Mr.. A. w. Sharper. of No. 81 Pros

icine, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.

weakness or disease. except cancer
of the stomach. They cure sour St)m-

constipation and headaches.

AFTER The BROWN SYSTEM
The Capital Railway Company Must
Show That 1t Is Safe.
ills Given Until Friday BY the Com
missioners to Do So-FaVor-
able Reports.

The Capital Railway Company has
not vet proven to the entire satisfac
tion of the District Commissioners that
the Brown electric system is safe, prac-
ticable and unobjectionable III every
way. They yesterday notified President
Randall TO show cause before Friday
WHY the system should not be abandon

COMPLAINT is e,roundless. The reports OF
the inspectors detailed by the District
and of the special inspector VINO mas
been making a three days test We're
almost enthusiastic, except on one of
two small matters, which Mr.. M. w.
Brown. the inventor OF the system, and
President Randall state positively can
be rectifed. The police report also
was satisfactory.
Mr.. j. r. Whelpley, the special in
spector of the Brown system, detailed
TWO weeks ago by Capt. Brush, yes
terday made his report 10 the engineer $
office He says:
During the four days, January IA to
January H. inclusive, l have daily in
spected the road. The cars have been
running regularly and no accidents
have occurred which can be attributed
to the Brown system On Friday and
Saturday, the 18th and 18th, | tested
the entire line for live boxes, using for
the purpose the volt meter belonging
to the District lamp system. On Fri
day no live boxes were found, but on
Saturday. during the rainstorm, four
or five were found which would give
five or six volts. All of these were
promptly opened and in every case it
was found that the porcelain cup was
cracked or actually splintered near the
top. These broken cups were almost
full of water"
Mr.. Brown, the inventor of the sys-
tenn, said to a Times reporter last night
that the twenty volts leakage noticed
as the cars passed could not be felt by
a man. He said that there was no
danger in such a leakage. Mr.. Brown
added that in a few days the metal
cups lined with porcelain would even
stop this leakage. Ha said that the
broken and cracked cups had all been
caused by putting salt on the rails
The report of the police is also IA
vorable. 1t was made by Policemen

discovered nothing wrong with the sys-

ALASKA'S FABULOUS RICHES
Collector Iyey Says the Present
Yield Is Comparatively Small.
CoId-Bea ring Quartz Belt Running
Hundreds of Miles Along the
Coast to the Northwest.

Joseph w. Ivey, collector of customs
in Alaska, has arrived in Washington
from his headquarters at Sitka. He
comes here to consult with the GUS
toms officials with regard to the issuing
Of new customs regulations for the Ter
ritory. He says that the conditions
that have arisen from the rush to the
Klondike have made a revision of the
regulations necessary.
He thinks that there will be great
rush for the gold fields next summer
from all parts of the world. There VIII
be q kind of a blockade of vessels at
the mouth of the Yukon River, SO that
when the ice thawS in July the boats
can move up TO the mining camps with
provisions for the miners. The Yukon
is now closed and no boats have been
able to go to the fields by that route
since October !. The river is only open
for navigation during the months OF
July August and September, and then
half a dozen boats have been operated
on the river This year, he believes,
there will be no less than hundred
river boats plying up and down the u
lSon with supplies transferred to them
from ocean vessels from different parts
os the world.
Mr.. lVey says tnat the uiscoN siie'
made thus far only indicate falntly
what the real mineral resources OF the
Alaskan fields are The greater Fart
of the country is what is known to
miners as a placer country, but the real
wealth he thinks. is not there, however
much gold, may have already peeh
panned out there. 1t is, in his opinion,
in a long quartz belt, which extends
from the region surrounding Sitka'
hundreds of miles along the coast 10
the extreme northwest. The output Oh
these quartz mines, he thinks, VIII eA-
ceed the Yukon output. The great mine
at Treadwell has now $50 samps In
oneration. and it is understood, Mr..
Ivey SAYS. that 800 would be erected IN
the spring. 1t is stated that there is
enough gold in the Treadwell mines 10
keep that many stamps going Tor at
least fifty years.

DIR. wooDwARp's DISCOVERY.
No Provision for Smallpox cases III
the Appropriation Bill.

No Provision for Smallpox Cases in
the Appropriation Bill.
Health Officer Woodward and the Dis
trict Commissioners are very much us
satisfied with the omission of the items
for the maintenance OF the smallpox HOS
pitaI and for the contagious disease emer-
pepcy fund from the District appropria-
tion bill as reported by the District
Committee to the House.
Dr. Woodward yesterday made long
report on uhe subject to the Commission
ers, which says that while number
of other Important items for the heaith
office have been treated in the same way
If seems to him that in this case the action
of tie committee was pa-lculariy I'M
Fortunate in view of the fact that small
uox is at present prevalent to such an ex-
tent at Birmingham, Ala, as 10 have led
tile authorities OF that city to request the
United States Marine Hospital Service
to assume full control and because there are
at present al Atlanta, Ga, 13l cases.
The disease has existed in the former
Mace since the middle of July, the total
number of eases up to date being 4o6;
in the latter place il has been present since
August, with zoe cases. He says that n S
the period of Incubation of this disease is
fourteen days, the District is in danger
of becoming infected
DR.. Woodward also devotes several para
graphs of his report to the great expense of
dealing with smallpox many large outbreak.
He says that if any outbreak were to oc-
cur while Congress is in session it might
be possible to secure special appropriations,
but that al any other period the District
would be in a serious predicament.
The Commissioners yesterday sent to the
House subcommittee on District appropria-
tons letter requesting that the epidemic
emergency fund be included in the appro-
priation bill.
They say: should a single case de-
velop here it would require the putting
into operation of the entire facilities for
treating smallpox, involving an expense
greater than we now have an appropria-
ton to meet"

Rockville. Nd, Jan. 25.-The much dis

fore the county commissioners this morn

farmers of the county.
Mr.. Edward c. Peter, in addressing the

this road is rested in the company, which
expresses willingness to sell for $500.
This matter concerns most bethesda and
Rockville, which pay AT least one-fourth
Of the county taxes. The citizens OF the
neighborhood of Bethesda have never had
roadfrom the county, although they have
paid taxes for the last half century, but
have always been compelled to use the
Georgetown pike, upon which up until q
short time ago, they were compelled to
pay taxes other han the roa d tax imposed
