There Is another feature that is
worthy of more than a passing notice:
Some children, whose home surround

others, have shown marked improve

small measure to the singing of these
songs; also by being brought into con-

feature in the education of our youth

feel assured of a good entertainment on
Tuesday next.
There will be additional features at

be mentioned: The Gill Brothers, well

WAR ON JANITORs.
Their Office Too Noisy For First Floor
of State House.

Some of the state officers are on the
war path against the janitOrs of the
building who persist in holding high
carnival in an office on the main floor
of the building, near the east entrance
The janitOr force has been permitted
to take possession of one of the best
rooms on the floor, opposite the rooms
formerly occupied by the governor
There they reign in all their glory much
to the discontinue of the occupants of
the adjoining offices.
The janitors occupy the rooms which
were formerly used as a store house for
garden tools and wheelbarrows. This
innovation was introduced in the man
agement of the affairs of state by Thos.
Stanley who was the superintendent of
the grounds. Stanley did a lot of pecu-
liar things and lost his job.
The administrations of the past have
permitted the janitors sit around in the
halls, not comforting upon them the
type writer and other furniture This
administration treats people unusually
we'll and the janitors abide on the first
floor and as such they are the self
constituted custOdians of the business
of people who go into the building.
Some of the officials in the neighbOr-
hood of the janitors' headquarters have
complained of the annOyanceS due to
the hilarity therein, but they say no
relief has been afforded them. So the
battle goes on. The officials grumble
but the janitors continue to smoke bad
tobacco and lift up their voices in glad
acclaim, and the end of the controversy
is not yet in sight.

FRIED ONIONS.
Indirectly Caused the Death of the
Worlds Greatest General.

It is a matter of history that Napol-
con was a gourmand, an inordinate
lover of the good things of the table, and
history further records that his favorite
dish was fried onions; his death from
cancer of the stomach, it is claimed
also, was probably caused from his ex-
cessive Indulgence of this fondness for
the odorouS vegetable.
The onion is undoubtedly a wholesome
article of food, in fact has many medici-
nal qualities Of value, but it would be
difficult to find a more indigeStible ar
ticle than fried onions, and to many
people they are simply poison, but the
onion does not stand alone in this re-
spect Any article of food that is not
thoroughly digested becomes a source
of disease and discomfort, whether it
be fried onions or beef steak
The reason why any wholesome food
is not promptly digested is because the
stomach lacks some important element
of digestion, some Stomachs lack pep
tone, others are deficient in gastric
juice, still others lack hydrochloric acid
The one thing necessary to do in any
case of poor digestion is to supply those
elements of digestion which the stom-
ach lacks. and nothing else does this
so thoroughly and safely as Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets.
DR.. Richardson in writing a thesis on
treatment of dyspepsia and Indigestion
closes his remarks by saying, for those
suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by
dyspepsia shown by gas on stomach
causing heart trouble and difficult
breathing, as well as for all other
forms of stomach trouble. the safest
treatment is to take one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal. 1 advise them because they con-
tain no harmful drugs but are com
posed of valuable digestiveS, which act
promptly upon the food eaten. never
knew a case of indigestion or even
chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tab
lets would not reach"
to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can
have no effect whatever in actively di-
costing the food and to call any ca
thartic medicine a cure for indigestion
is a miSnOmer.
Every druggist in the United States
and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and they are not only the SAT-
est and most successful but the most
scientific of any treatment for indiges-
ton and stomach troubles.

nervousness, catarrh of the bladder,
gravel or calculi, bloating, sallow COM
plexion, puffy or dark circles under the

HANNA STEPS ASIDE.
Desires to Make Room For Both Dick
and Grosvenor.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 4.-Senator Tfanna

There are other men," he said. "WhO
are more ambitious than I, and who
value the honor more than 1 do. I will

in the convention.

have an uncontested place in the Ohio

I am glad to step out in his favor. If
I was to be considered as one of the

will be room for both of them, as there
should be, and friction will be avoid

It is evident from the foregoing that
the plan to make Senator Hanna, a del

Senator and Mrs. Hanna and Miss
Ruth Hanna departed yesterday after
noon for Washington, where they will

AWAITED w1EH INTEREST.
Performance of Marine Tubular Boiler
Engine a Matter of Importance.

The Scotch marine tubular boiler To-
comotive which has been building at
the Santa F'e shops in this city for the
past few months, is nearing completion,
and will probably be given its first trial
trip on Saturday of this week. The To-
connective was run over to the paint
shop few days ago. where several of
the main parts of the locomotive are
being painted. The finishing touches OF
the painter, and the jacket of the loco
motive will probably not be put on un
til after the trial trip, as there may be
a few changes to be made in the work.
ing parts of the locomotive.
The finished locomotive will be a very
peculiar looking machine both outside
and in the cab. The massive boiler has
caused some to think that it will posi-
bly, be top heavy, but the low wheels
which have been put on probably OBJ
viate this danger. There are good rea-
sons to believe that this new locomo-
tive will be very powerful, and its per-
Torrance is being awaited anxiously
by many in the shops, as well as me-
chanics who are interested in finding
out whether it will be superior to an
ordinary locomotive.
