The Charleston Blcck


 The purchase last week by Messrs
 Steiner Bros. of Birmingham of the beau tiful Charleston block, on Second avenue and Nineteenth streets, has proven an en- couraging feature to the present favorable outlook for Bessemer. This building covers 300 front by 80 feet, and is a most imposing structure. It was built at a cost of $l25, 900 at a time when labor and material were much cheaper than now. This block is built of brick, stone and marble. It is thought by many to be the handsomest business structure in this section of the state, and would prove an ornament to any city in the union. It is learned here that 1t is the purpose of Messrs. Steiner Bros.
 to thoroughly overhaul, renovate and put in frst-class condition this magnificent property, and to place in charge of it a first-class janitor, who Is to give it all needful care and attention. Bessemer Is in deed gratified that this handsome and val uable structure has passed into the hands of men of means, enterprise and public spirit, and 1t is confidently believed that this purchase is the beginning of a, new era in the history of Bessemer-an era of

A RESTAURANT EPISODE.
A Sort OF Straw Vote.

An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine. while
on recent western trip. was dining
one evening in Pittsburg restaurant
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and noticed
the advertisement of a we'll known
dyspepsia preparation. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets; as he himself was Il
regular user of the tablets he began
specializing as to how many Of the
other travelling men in the dining room
We're also friends of the popular remedy
for Indigestion.
He SAYS: II counted twenty-three
men at the tables and in the hotel office
| took the trouble to interview them
and was surprised to learn that nine
of the twenty-three made a practice of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal.
one of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit
he road, but since using StuartS DyS-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from Indigestion. but he continued
their use. especially while travelling.
on account of irreguIarity in meals and
because like all travelling men he was
often obliged to eat what he could get
! and not always what he wanted.
! Another who looked the picture of
| health. said he never ate a meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterWard
/ because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased. without fear of
sleepless night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas ON the stomach,
causing pressure on heart and lungs,
ahortness of breath and distress in
chest. which he no longer experienced
since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe
remedy he mad ever found for sour
used common soda to relieve the
trouble. but the tablets We're much
better and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive
organs, nothing restores the stomach
to healthy, wholesome condition so
eifectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase.
which every weak stomach lacks, as we'll
as nux. hydrastin and yellow parilla,
and can be safely relied upon as a radi-
cal cure, for every form of poor di-
gestion. Sold by druggists everywhere.

cannot the Eagle" see that reflexly
they, themselves, would be greatly
bene flied; tn - the opening of the West
would create an enormous market for
all classes of eastern manufactures
while the western farm products would
be exported to the Orient? Oae of the
greatest gamers would be the eastern
farmer who would be called upon to

the East are alive to tie situation and

TINE TO AWAKE.
The benefit OF q comprehensive system
of government irrigation works to the
arid West can hardly be underestimate
ed, and It 10 high time the West was
waking up to the situation and doing
Its share towards getting congress take
action. Thus Tar the work has all
5sen done by Eastern busiaess men,
who figure that suoh Improvements
will do more than anything else to-
In she West and win eventually pro
vide the Eastern manufacturer and
business man with larger market.
What 1t means to the Eastern business
nan, Is means In even . larger proper.

Primitive they may have been but

Arizona and New Mexico of q farming
community OF centuries ago are q
wonder to the modern Irrigation

History shows that it has been in

pos sibilities.
The building of storage reservoirs
and the reclamation and settlement of
Arid America would rapidly and en-
enlarge the demand for every.
thing the West buys from the eastern

the papers which hold to this iiltbersl
