RETURN OF MIR. STEVENS.
He Expects to Reach Washington by
October 10.

Mr.. Frederick c. Stevens, the president
of the West End National Bank, who has
been spending his summer vacation in Eu-
rope with his family, is now in Paris. He
expects to sail for this country the early
part of October, and by the 18th of that
month will be in this city. His family, who
preceded him to Europe by a few weeks
will return with him.
Mr.. Stevens left the city the first of July
and at that time the interests which he
represented in the purchase of the various
street railroads of the District and the two
electric lighting companies had just enter
ed upon the active control of these prop
critics. Since then the transfer system be-
tween all the street railroad lines, which
Mr.. Stevens advocated, has been made a
reality: the rebuilding of the suburban
lines is in progress, and the public can ride
from the center of the city to the bounds
of the District for one fare.

A Common Trouble.
SUFFER FROM IT WITHOUT
KNOWING IT'S REAL CHARACTER.

No trouble is more common or more misunder-
stood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it
think that their nerves to blame, are sur
prised that they are not cured by medicines
and spring remedies; the real seat OF mischief is
lost sight Of; the stomach is the organ to be
looked after
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain
whatever in the stomach. perhaps any of the
usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous
dyspepsia shows itself not In the stomach much
as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the
kidneys are affected: in others the bowels are
troubled with loss Of flesh and appetite. with the
accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
