THREE DELIVERIES DAILY.

Beginning July 1st the business portion of this city will have three mail deliveiies daily. This fact was made known through these columns several months ago, but now it is fully assured. The merchants re- quested MT. Fred c. Furth, the chief clerk at the postoffice, to make tine request of the postmaster general. After much corresponding he sue ceeded in his efforts. It might also be mentioned here that another postmaD will be put on in the East End of the city oa July lst. This will enable the residents of that part of town TO get their mail more prompt and much earlier than here tofore. Mir. Furth deserves much praise for his successful efforts.

DIXON ACCEPTS T TAKES GENERAL SECRETA- SHIP OF THE Y.M M.
 c. A.
GOOD GYMNASIUM MAN.
4 Grand Reception Will Be Tender ed Him at Little Rock on
 June s.

The members and financial sup porters of the local Y. M. c. A. are greatly gratified and encouraged by the acceptance of thelr call to the general secretaryship of s. $. Dix on, until recently general secretary of the Pine Bluff Association. Since the departure of Secretary Thomas Johnson, early in March, the local directory have been on the lookout for suitable man to take charge of the work here, man who would make a good general secretary and physical director combined. They placed their needs and interests with the international committee 2 New York, all the time knowing of the efficient and popular work of Mr. Dixon at Pine Bluff and wishing that they might secure him for the local field, but not desiring to take any official action that might be construed by the friends at the Bluff City as an effort to get their man away from them.
 As soon, therefore, as the Little Rock directors received official in- formation from the international committee that Dixon had resigned aa6 was considering calls to other fields they lost no time in an earnest endeavor to secure him. Mr. Dixon has accepted, and he will arrive in the city some time today, entering upon his duties at once.
 Dixon is without dot6t one of the best gymnasium men in the country. He has a magnificent physique, yet withal is modest and unassuming. AS an organizer of pure athletes he excells, and it will be remembered that the Pine Bluff Y. M. c. A. base ball club, under his leadership, captured the silver cup at the bridge celebration seueral years ago, win hing the amateur trophy from the Philadelphia club by a score of IT to 0. He has a good knowledge of medicine and anatomy which enables him to make careful tests and exam nations, very necessary to those entering upon a course of regular gymnas tie exercise. His mannerIs engaging and popular He Is an earnest student of the Bible and possesses a strong Christian charac. ter, which eminently fits him for the peculiar and delicate duties of the general secretaryship. He is unmarried, another thing in his favor, according to some, who be- lieve that he can give more time and thought to the work and secure a better hold on young men on that account.
 It is safe to say the new general secretary will receive warpa and cordial welcome A committee of the directors are hard at work on a reception to be rendered him at the rooms Thursday evening, June B. Arkansas Gazette.

1T MERITS ATTENTION.
A New Preparation Which Cures Dys-
 pepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Remarkable Curative Properties.

A new remedy, which may reyolu- tionize the treatment of stomach troubles. has recently been placed be- fore the public and bears the endorse ment of many leading physicians and scientific men.
 The remedy is not wonderful se- cret discovery, nor a patent medicine, neither is it claimed to cure anything except indigestion and stomach troub- les, with which nine-tenths of our na- tion are afflicted.
 The remedy Is in the form of pleas ant tasting tablets or lozenges con- taining vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin, free from animal impurities, bibmuth and Golden Seal; they are sold by druggists generally under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Many interesting experiments made with these tablets show that they pos sess remarkable digestive power, one grain of the active principle being suf- ficient to thoroughly digest 5000 times it's own weight of lean meat, eggs, oat- meal or similar wholesome foods; these
 tablets do not act on the bowels like afterdinner pills, nor Tn fact do they act upon any particular organ, but the manner in which they cure all forms of indigestion is this: They act entirely npon tn food eaten, digesting it com ptetely, nourishing every tissue and nerve in the body; they simply per- form the work of digestion, thus giv- l ing tho weak stomach rest and assist ance sufficient to enable it to recover it's normal strength. This is the reason 1 co m arXy Drptend ed curAS have sionai- ly failed; they do not furnish the dl- i oestive power which is the one thing 1 above all others that the stomach of the dyspeptic lacks. and unless that lack is supplied, it is waste of time to attempt to restore the enteeoled stom- l ach by means of eEtonics, stomach 1 bitters" and spills" no permanent cure can result from their use,
 If the stomach can be rested and assisted in the work of digestion 1t will very soon recover; this IS the secret l and the whole secret of the rem markable success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, | a remedy practically unknown a year ago and now the most popular, widely used dyspepsia remedy, everywhere a success secured almost entirely on its merits, as 1t has never been extensive 1 ly advertised.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are now
 sold bv druggists everywhere at 50 cts. per package; if he hasn't them Tn stock l he will order them for you from hls wholesale house. They are made by l the F. A. Stuart Co.,, chemists, Mar shall, Mich, who will be pleased to
 send information and testimonials from every state in the union.

is INCREASING
NEARLY $1,000 LOADED CARS HAN
DIED IN THE CITY LAST WEEK.
RumOrs hat the ~VanderbiIts Have
Control Of the Lake Erie & West
e-rn-GeneraI and Personal Notes.

The train records show that in the week
ending Feb. 25 there were received and for
warded at Indianapolis 26.916 cars, %, 760 be-
ing loaded, 1861 more loaded cars than
were handled at this point in the week
ending Feb. is, and 1S5 more than in the
corresponding week Of 1898; 1850 more than
in 1897; 2,463 more than in 1896; 3,19S more
than in 1895, and 3.O18 more than in 1894.
From the above comparisons it will be seen
that business with Indianapolis lines is very
active, and but for the car shortage the
exhibit would be even more favorable. The
fact that freight is now carried at full
tariff rates means more favorable earning
exhibits, especially net earnings, as the last
few days weather conditions have been such
that trains could be handled with economy,
engines hauling their full complement of
cars. The running Of no local trains on
the 22d cut down the loaded car movement
somewhat. Seldom is there a period when
it has been more difficult to name the arti-
cles which go to make up the traffic. Last
year the Letter grain was being shipped by
thousands of carloads, while this year there
is not an average volume of grain moving
to the seaboard and the shipments of flour
for export are unusually light; but the ship
mentS of c~eraline products from corn, of
provisions, cotton, hides and hardwood lum-
Der are in excess Of those of last year. One
of the favorable features is the large ton
mage of freights west bound, both high and
low-class, and it is seldom that as much
machinery, agricultural and harvest imple-
ments are carried in February as this year.
indianapolis lines are handling more coal
than in any winter for several years past.
Local business last week was quite salts
factory, the weather admitting of shipping
perishable freights. AT the stock yards
and packing houses business was a little
off, the local packing houses not killing half
as many hogs as in January. The packers,
however, are shipping considerable export
provisions and the trade is handling the
usual quantity of dre~-Nd meats. Reports
from all quarters make it evident that there
is plenty of business and that the car ques-
ton is the present limit Of traffic. Below
is given the car movement for the week
ending Feb. % and for the corresponding
weeks 0f 1903 and 1897.

which amounted to about $1,000, 900 in value.
The deal, IL made as reported, was in the
interest of the Big Four. and it gives the
Big Four some new road which can be used
to advantage, as the Fort Wayne, Cincin-
natl & Louisville is included in the deal. and
the latter will give the Whitewater division
an outlet that will give some value to the
road, as the interchange of business, which
is now made with the Cincinnati, Hamilton
< Dayton at Connersville will doubtless go
to the Big -Four OF course, the Vanderbilt
people getting control of the Brice lines will
check the proposed through line to the sea-
board, planned by the late Calvin Brice.
But there is hardly any part of the Lake
Erie & Western that, as an adjunct to the
Big -Four, cannot be utilized to good adj
vantage. The move in the matter the next
few days will be watched with interest.
