MR.. PEARSON EXPLAINS
PRESIDENT OF A GAS COMPANY
TALKS ABOUT THE SCANT SUPPLY.
Says Indianapolis People Do Not
Practice Economy and Waste
Much Gas.

Out of the general discussion by house
holders who suffered from the lack of gas
during the recent cold snap as to the cause
of the deficiency has grown an assertion
that If the gas companies had more pipe
lines from the gas fields to this city natural
gas would be much more plentiful and the
fires in the stoves would not look like can
die flames and give off about as much heat.
John r. Pearson, superintendent of the In
dianapclis Gas Company, was asked in re-
gard to this matter yesterday. In replying he
said that when the company was organized,
about ten years ago, one pipe twelve inches
in diameter supplied the company's sub
scribers. The company had sixteen wells
at that time and all were near Noblesville.
He says the company has over 14,0O0 sub
scribers, about twice as many as it had in
the beginning. TO supply the gas two more
pipe lines have been laid from the gas field.
They are both ten inches in diameter. One
was laid in 1895 and the other in 1897. The
gas is brought by feeders to the big pump
ing station in Strawtown and is forced into
the mains leading to Indianapolis at $50
pounds pressure. This pressure is twenty
pounds less than the limit prescribed by
law. The company's field is many miles
further north than it was ten years ago, and
Tic SaS IL uIe1WA I4Olu A@0 WSHSI anu NA ga
average the pressure at the wells has de-
creased 100 pounds in the last ten years.
Mr.. Pearson says the gas fields have been
extended about as far north as possible in
consideration of the fact that the pumping
limit is imminently near.
1.-The people of Indianapolis Mr.. Pearson
declared yesterday, have no eye to the
economical use of natural gas. Burners are
allowed to fill up with dirt and SCOT, and in
many cases 40 per cent. of the gas in the
stove goes up the chimney unconsumed.
People will not listen to agents who try to
sell them what are called economical gas
burners, and this is because they do not
have to pay for gas by meter accounts.
We have cut off all the factories, hotels

PECULIAR POIsONs
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion Of
Food.


Every living thing. plant or animal. con-
tains within itself the germs of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of disease
and death called by scientists ptomaines),
are usually the result of imperfect digestion
of food; the result of indigestion or dys-
pepsia.
The stomach. from abuse. weakness, does
not promptly anu thoroughly digest the food
The result is a heavy, sodden mass which
ferments (the first process of decay, pol
soning the blood making 1t thin, weak and
lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the
brain, causing headaches and pain in tha
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart. causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
Of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, caus-
ing Brights disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal and weak diges-
ton shows itself not only in loss of appetite
complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley. said
the best start I'm life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail 10 digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity OF
digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric) and
peptogenlc products; the most sensible REM
edy in all cases Of indigestion is to take
after each meal one or two OF Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets because they supply in
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachS lack.
The regular use of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food we'll digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 50 cents full-sized pack
age or by mail by inclosing price to Stuart

A Road Cnse decided.

The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a
judgment Of the lower court in refusing to
enjoin the collection of assessments for the
construction of the Mt. Meridian and Put
namville macadamized road. The road has
been the subject of considerable litigation
over assessments, and the trouble arose
over the allegations that part of the road
district was not originally included in the
paper petitioning the building of the high
way for the reason that 1t would not have
of the necessary two-thirds of the property
owners along it. After the paper had been
signed, however, it is alleged that the
omitted district was included in the deal
and the money assessment collected.

Hackney Defends the supreme Court.

Judge Hackney, speaking for the Supreme
Bench, yesterday paid his compliments to
several lawyers who have at different
times charged that the Supreme Court was
too technical. In overruling a petition for
the rehearing of a case he said: 1T is, we
think, fortunate that a code has been
formulated and adopted as a guide to the
administration of justice, since. if every
lawyer We're permitted to arbitrarily deter
mine for himself the forms and methods of
procedure, we would have, instead of an or
DERBY system of procedure chaotic en-
tanglement, which would hide and disguise
every scientific principle in pleading and
practice. We should not profit by that once
popular treatise, Every man his own law
yer No, we would not abolish the code if
we could; but since we cannot, we feel an
obligation to enforce it's provisions In
discussing the case in hand he said: ut
bears no more resemblance to the cases
where an appeal is authorized than if the
lawyers had submitted their views to
friendly neighbor and attempted to appeal
from his decision"
