CALL AGENTS SUCCESS.
E. F. Hawkins of Salinas Finds His
Business Rapidly Increasing.

E. F. Hawkins of Salinas. who has for
many years looked after the interests of
The Call at that place, has been forced
to relinquish the agency, owing to his
increasing business interests, which de-
mand his entire attention
Mr.. Hawkins is a young man who
might well be termed self-made. He has
worked his way from the bottom of the
ladder and although he has met with
many reverses, his energy and close ap-
plication to business have at last landed
him on the top, and to-day he is one of
the most popular and prosperous mer-
chants of the city of Salinas.

LEFT PlTTSBURG.
Raymond Horner Braves the Dangers
of tie Running Ice and Starts
South-.-Left Unaided---Local River
News.

PITTSBURG, Pa, February 23.-The
towboat Raymond Horner was the only
boat to leave Pittsburg this morning for
the South with tow of coal. She went
in the ice but it had cleared out consid-
erably in the Allegheny when she made
the start. About an hour after she left
her landing at the Point a second con-
signment of heavy ice appeared, but it
is thought that the boat will be able to
keep ahead of it. The Horner has IA boats
and two barges of coal in her tow, and
she will go through to Louisville
The Ed Roberts had steam up at her
West End landing this morning and kept
her wheel moving all the time, while the
ice was running, to keep her tow of coal
in check. She will drop her lines and go
South as soon as the river is clear of ice.
S. S. Crump & Co. had intended sending
the Nellie Walton this morning, but there
was too much ice, and she may not get
away before tomorrow. The Pacific No.
Will also depart with a tow. The Chas.
Brown will get away for Louisville, and
will be assisted down the river by the
Volunteer and the Voyager. Several 9TH
er boats will take lows of coal South as
soon as they can reach Pittsburg with
tows of empties. There is an excellent
coalboat stage Of water, and there will be
a good stage all week.
Capt. John A. Wood this morning sue
ceeded in raising the Pittsburg, Browns
Vile and Geneva Packet Company's wharf
boat. The boats guards were well out of
water at II o'clock. The boat does not APP
pear to be greatly damaged, but the roof
and sides are badly sprung and twisted.
A large crowd of persons watched the
operations of the crew of the Tom Lysle,
which pumped out the hull of the boat.
Chains were placed under the sunken
craft and fastened to the empty barges,
which were drawn up along either side of
the wharf boat.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.

Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For til
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among
the Americans, are certainly in
creasing and while this may be
largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life. it
is more often the result of weak
stomachs, OF poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incur
able; but not one case in hundred
OF heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is be-
cause both organs are controlled
by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart
is effected by the form of poor di-
geStion, which causes gas and fer
mentation from half digested food.
There is a feeling of oppression
and heavinesS in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, inter-
fering with their action: hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisonS the
blood, making it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the
digestion and to insure the prompt
assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe,
pleasant and effective digestive
preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which con-
tain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuart's DySpep-
STA Tablets at meal time will cure
any form of stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tab
let's sold by druggists at so cents.

So 600. She had just been repaired and

Kings Daughters was a great success
in every detail The supper was excel
lent. The large lecture room was
tastefully decorated with a profusion
Of flags and bunting. The supper itself
was all that could be desired. Most

prettily decorated with candalabra and
cut flowers. All during the evening
enormous crowds were in attendance,
and the lady walters had their hands
full attending the wants Of every one.
The ladies who did the serving were
attired in quaint and pretty colonial
dress. The Kings Daughters will clear
a sum something like $40 on the affair.

Rumors as to Intentions of w. s. L. f. Own
erS-nther Tonnes

Rumors as to Intentions of W. s. L. f. Own
ers-Other Topics.
There is at present considerable
speculation among parties who have
been watching the fortunes of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, as
to the management which has recently
gotten control. The line comes into
the hands of the new owners in fairly
good condition, and it is presumed that
finances will be in such condition as
to permit of extensions long contem-
plated being made if the time is con-
sidered opportune. The four years the
line was in the hands of receivers the
roadbed was placed in good shape,
tunnels repaired, the old wooden
bridges replaced with steel structures
and additions made to the rolling
stock. The extension through Mar
tins Ferry was also begun during the
same period and work is still being pur-
sued as rapidly as conditions and cir
cumstances will permit. Prominent
officials of the road have been inspect
ing property at this end of the line for
the past few days and rumor has it that
developments of Importance are being
considered. The party was composed
of Superintendent F. J. Stout, Superin-
tendent OF Motive Power J. B. Braden
and Chief Engineer f. E. Bissell.
Those of the officials who could be pur-
suaded to talk upon the subject were
not pronounced in their expressions as
to the immediate plans of the owners
and could not say if the road can be
expected to reach Bellaire by the end
of the present season. The report that
additional stock of the road has found
a market in the east has revived the
belief that an effort is to be made to
extend the line to this side Of the river
and ultimately TO the coke fields.
