Of Considerable Local Interest.

According to the Santa Fe New
Mexican a contest in court will result
over the election at Las Vegas con-
cerning the issuance of $150OO0 in We
ter works, bonds. There were but
219 votes cast, out of a registration of
425. The opponents of the issue al
lege that 191 votes for the affirmative
do not constitute two-thirds majority,
claiming that there should be a two
thirds majority of the number of reg
istered voters. That same question
was brought up in Eel Paso over a
bond election and the courts decided
that if two-thirds of the legal votes
cast were for bonds, then the issue
was authorized-El Paso Times.

During the winter of 1897, Mr..
James Reed, one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co.
w. Va, struck his leg against cake
of ice in such a manner as to bruise
it severely. It became very much
swollen and panied him so badly that
he could not walk without the aid of
crutches. He was treated by physi-
clans, also used several kinds of lin
iment and two and a half gallons of
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing
gave any relief until he began using

brought almost a complete cure in a

The street-Car Question.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Like all citizens should be, L am interested
In street-car matters and earnestly hope the
bill now pending before the Legislature re-
lating thereto will become a law. There
seems to be some misconception Of its pro-
visions. 1t gives no franchise to any one
anywhere. 1t merely gives cities Of 10000
Inhabitants or over the right to do that
thing upon terms to suit them, fixing, how
ever, the highest limit of fares and lowest
quality of service legal in such franchise
agreements, thus protecting the people from
enormous imposition through i-ncompetency
or Doodle. 1t does not fix fares at 5 cents,
4 1-6 cents and 4 cents; Ii only makes a
higher rate illegal, the contracting parties
having full power to fix them
from 1 cent to the limit, with transfers
and good service. 1t does not nix the term
length of franchises at thirty-four years or
any other time, but merely says 1t shall not
be for a longer time than thirty-four years.
Any term from one year TO the legal limit
must be a matter of agreement between the
contracting parties, thus placing II In the
power Of the people to secure the very best
obtainable in all respects by electing the
proper men to office. Under this bill the
future OF street-railroad facilities rests with
the people in selecting men Of intelligence
and integrity to represent them.

Noel and the Amendments.

Representative Noel was last evening in
dignant at the statement made publicly that
he had opposed an amendment to the street
car bill to provide for a shorter charter and
for Scent fares. Said he:
"A member of the Commercial Club COM
mittee, in an interview with the News to-
day. says that, as Senator New was about
TO offer amendments TO the street-car bill.
fixing the fare at 3 cents and the franchise
at twenty years, that / appeared and OBJ
jected 10 the amendments. This Is utterly
and absolutely untrue. The amendment
proposed by Senator New, and about 10 be
attached TO the bill. was one providing that
the paving by the company should be OPP
tional with the Board OF Public Works.
That IL. that the boards might or might
not require the company 10 pave, as 1t saw
fit. The bill as passed contains the follow
ing language: said ordinance shall provide
further that the company making such con
tract shall be required 10 pave the space
occupied by and between its tracks and for
a space OF eighteen inches on the outside
thereof, 10 repaye the same when necessary

HEART DISEASE.
SONE FACTS REGARDING HI RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not Be Alarmed. but Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the Ameri-
cans are certainly increasing 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 ~incurable: but not
one case in. a hundred of neart trouble is
organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves. the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is affected
by the form of poor digestion. which causes
gas and fermentation from half diSested
food; there is a feeling OF oppression end
h~eayiness i'm the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which initiates
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 st most
drug stores and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements in a pleasant.
convenient form.
II is safe to say that the regular persistent
use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets It meal
time will cure any form OF stomach trouble
except cancer Of the tOmac

La Grippe's Legacy.

Worn out and exhausted In BODY
and mind, with shattered nerves
and a palpitating heart; no desire
for food and no ability to digest it;
unable to rest or sleep day or night
this is La Grippe's legacy. Long
after the grip germs have been
driven out the poisons which they
created remain in the blood, the
heart, the lungs, the stomach,
weakening the nerves and lowering
the vitality of the system. There
Is n way of destroying the seeds
of disease and death which are an
inheritance from grip. DR.. Miles
Nergine will do it. It gives the
shattered nerves a rest and helps
them to recover their strength. 1t
stimulates the appetite, strength
n the stomach, assists assimila-
ton and fills the blood with the
vital elements of life.
1.-Two years ago. after q severe
attack of the grip, / was overcome
