A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Dis cOvery for Curing Dyspep-
 sia.

The Rev. F. 1. Bell. a highly es- teemed minister residing ill Weeds port, Cayuga Co.,, N. Y. in a recent letter writes as follows: "There has never been anything that I have taken that has relieved the dyspep- sia from which have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them l have had no distress at all after eating and again after long years can sleep well. Rev. F. |. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y., formerly, Idalia, Colo.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re- markable remedy, not only because it is certain cure for all forms of indigestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases of dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousEess. A person has dyspepsia simply be- cause the stomach is oVeFworked, all it wants is a harmless, vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rest.
 This is the ecret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the digestion may be, Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy is given not only to the stomach but to every organ and nerve in the body. A trial of this splendid medicine will convince the most skeptical that dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cur ed. Tine tablets are prepared by the F. A, Stuart Co.,, of Marshall, Mich, but so popular has the remedy be- come that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets can now be obtained at any drug store at 50 cents per package.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT URGED.
Board of Trade Calls for a $500, 900
Appropriation.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Board of Trade yesterday resolutions were
unanimously adopted urging the appro-
priation by Congress of $4,000 to improve
the Savannah river, between Savannah and
Augusta. They are as follows:
Whereas, the city of Augusta has memo
rallied Congress for an appropriation of
100000 to improve the navigation of the
Savannah river, between Augusta and Sa-
vannah, and,
Whereas, such an improvement of the
Savannah river has an equal interest for
this city and,
Whereas, the improvement of this arte-
ry of commerce would have most sal
utary effect upon the all-rail rates from
the seaboard to the interior of Georgia
and South Carolina by tending to lessen
them, and,
Whereas, the improvement of the river
would greatly increase the present traffic
upon it, and enhance the commerce of
Augusta and Savannah, and tend TO the
more rapid development of the rich in
termediate sections traversed in Georgia
and South Carolina, and
Whereas, such an Improvement would
have a most potential influence in simpli-
flying and solving important questions of
interstate transportation now engaging tie
attention of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the federal courts for the
large territory that is served by the Sa-
vannah river, therefore be it,
Resolved, That the Savannah Board of
Trade, through its board of directors,
give its most unqualified Endorsement to
the memorial of the city of Augusta ask
ing for an appropriation of 100000 to inn
prove the navigation of the Savannah river
as justified by the demand of commerce,
and be it further
Resolved, That the Savannah Board of
Trade request and urge our immediate
representatives, in Congress, Hon r. E.
Lester, to give the memorial his most
earnest and hearty support in cooperation
with our other representatives, in Senate
and House, from Georgia, in securing
early and favorable action upon the me-
morial and,
That a copy of these resolutions be for
warded by the secretary to each of our
senators and representatives in Congress,
and to Hon. Patrick Walsh, Mayor of Au-
gusta.
The petition of Mayor Walsh and a
committee of the Augusta Council for the
Improvement of the Savannah river which
was presented TO the Senate last Friday
by Senator Clay, has aroused a good deal
of interest here. 1t is recognized by the
merchants of Savannah that the opening
up of the territory along the river would
be of great benefit to the commercial in
terests of this city, as well as those of
Augusta.

Robert Tut Considerably Bruised
But Not Dead.

Robert Tut considerably Bruised
But Not Dead.
Lucius Campbell, colored was arrested
by Detective Barrett last night, charged
with assault with intent to murder. The
affair in which he figured was in Yama-
craw Monday night. AS a result Robert
Tut, who lives on Little Jones and IIum-
Der streets, was reported dead yesterday
When arrested by Detective Barrett the
negro thought he was wanted on a charge
of murder and so did the officer. Campbell
was greatly exercised over the affair when
caught and begged to be given all possible
help. He told of the difficulty and why he
struck Tut with rock.
From his statement it seems the two
were showing attention to a iegress named
Lizzie Singleton, who lives in Indian street
lane, near Ann street. By coincidence
the men ran together Monday night and
a quarrel followed as to who should va
cate the premises. Campbell claims that
Tut followed him into the street holding
an ugly knife in his hand. He said Tut
was trying to stab him and that he was
looking for some chance to subdue his .s-
sailant. He tumbled on a rock in the
dark and picking it up. let fly at Tut With
full force. The latter fell and was dis

SOUTHERN MUTUAL SUIT.
Bank Called on to Pay Money Due on
Withdrawal of stock.

Oh
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 15-Another suit aris-
ing out of the collapse of the Southern
Mutual Building and Loan Association
has been filed here in behalf of George
w. Dismul1es. against the Bates Farley
Savings Bank
The savings bank is alleged to have COL
lected from the building and loan asso-
citation the withdrawal value of forty-five
shares of stock, the right to which was
vested in the plaintiff The amount in
VOWED in the litigation is $3.OS9.5O. less a
credit of about 81. COO
The stock was issued by the association
in 1889 to a numSer of Florida citizens, but
all right to the stock has since been trans
ferred to the plaintiff, Dismnkes.
In 1895 Dismukes, desiring to recover
the withdrawal value of his stock, indors-
ed the certificates to the Southern Mutual
Building and Loan Association "for with
drawal," and forwarded them to the as
ISOLATION. Without paying him the
amount TO which he was entitled the asso-
citation transferred the certificates to the
Bates-Farley Savings Bank
1t Is alleged that the same year the bank
Endorsed the certificates back to the asso-
citation and collected the withdrawal value
which rightfully belonged to Dismukes
When the case is tried in the Superior
Court the evidence gives promise of
throwing considerable light on plans of
hnanciering which were used by w. c.
Hale, the missing president of the South
ern Mutual.
