A Rich Mans Project.

a rich mans statement that he in
tends to devote almost his entire for
tune to charitable works has aroused
much discussion. This is because it
will accomplish much good. 1t is a
praiseworthy endeavor, but there are
many other agencies which accomplish
just as much good. Take Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters for instance-the great
American remedy. For fifty years it
has cured constipation, dyspepsia and
all the ills which arise from weak di-
gestion. This medicine viii keep the
stomach in good shape and the bowels
regular. It is a wonderful restorative
tonic and health-builder 1t is also a
preventive for malaria, fever and ague.
Ask for it, and insist upon having it.

Chicago & Northwestern's Elevated
Tracks Nearly Completed.

The following from a Chicago paper
IS especially interesting when it is
known that this road carries over these
elevated tracks into the heart of the
city of Chicago daily 275 passenger
trains and $50 freight trains:
Within the next three weeks the
work of elevating all Of the city tracks
of the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way will have been completed. Com
menced in 1894, the undertaking, COW
ering a period of five years, has -
volved the expenditure of practically
IS, 0000 900 and given employment TO
thousands of men. 1t is significant from
the popular point of view that the work
eliminates $50 steam railroad crossings.
Some rivalry exists between the diff
ferent track-eleyating roads OF the city
as to which was the pioneer in the
great work. but an examination of the
records Of both of the city and the roads
leaves no doubt that the Northwest
ern was the first seriously to undertake
elevation and the first to determine
that il should be continued until every
grade crossing was done away with.

GENTRY DRAWS CROWDS.
Realistic Fire Scene Amuses the
Large Audiences.

Two more large audiences attended
Professor Gentry's dog and pony show
yesterday, and to judge from appear
'ances, the attraction has entered upon
week of unusually heavy business.
The closing scene of the show is
wonderfully realistic. A little frame
structure just outside the main ring Is
suddenly discovered on fire. A hose
reel, patrol wagon and ladder wagon
come dashing out of the adjoining tent.
They are manned by monkeys clad In
tiremen's uniform. and in jiffy they
swarm to the burning house, erect lad
ders and have a hose playing on the
flames. Meanwhile the e-uniformei
policemen have been rescuing the dwell
ers in the burning structure. The whole
scene is so vivid that the children cheer
and applaud each act of valor loudly.
