BUSINESS FAILURE
Is Frequently Caused by the Worry
Attendant On Dyspepsia.

If you would win in the Battle of Life
you must have clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, sllrewdness, en-
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these needfu1 quail
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. But you can get rid of dys-
pepsia, indigestion, biliousness, sour
stomach, or any other ai1ment of stom-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With perfect digestion go strong,
healthy body, a clear, capable brain,
vigor, ambition, determination, ener-
gy, activity, keen, alert senses. Dodd's
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have nev.
er failed to cure any or all of the dis
eases named when they have been
fairly tried. They cannot fail.
DR.. R. B. Strong, New York City,
writing in the American Journal Of
Health, describes Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets as remedy which could not
possibly be more efficacious though it
emanated from a council of the leading
physicians Of the world.

BEER STAMPS ARE STOLEN
GOVERNMENT AGENT RECEIVERS
$4,000 WORTH.

NEW YORK, April u.-With!n the
past two months two mysterious rob-
berries OF beer stamps, by which the
government lost $4,000, have occurred.
One Of these thefts occurred while the
stamps were in transit between the
treasury department and the general
postofflce in Washington, and the other
between the postoffice and the internal
revenue office in Chicago. The stamps
stolen in Washington were worth O,C0O,
and those in Chicago $6,O00
internal Revenue Agent Frank G.
Thompson, of the New York district. re.
Gently suspected that the stolen beer
stamps were hidden in Brooklyn and that
the thieves made P. McCauley's saloon
their headquarters. Agent Thompson
learned that stamp thieves had nsads
arrangements for the. sale OF q large
quantity of the stamps to a brewers
agent at the Astor house
Late today Thomas Blaney, q bartender
employed in McCauleys saloon, was seen
to enter the hotel with a big brown pa
per bundle under his arm. He seeming
ly failed to meet the prospective custom
er, and afterward, at the corner of the
hotel, was arrested by Mr.. Thompson.
The bundle which Blaney carried, when
opened in the federal building, was found
to contain about $4,000 worth of beer
stamps. The prisoner was unable to ac-
count for these stamps.
Blaney was taken before a United
States commissioner who held him In
$1,000 bail for examination on Friday The
charge against him is of having stolen
revenue stamps in his possession.
Agent Thompson says that he is Of the
opinion that the stamps found on Blaney
will prove to be portions of the proceeds
OF the robberies in Washington and Chi
cago. He says that further arrests Of

BOOM IS At ROCHESTER
BUSHELS CAPACITY WILL BE
RUILT
IN WINoNA 6 WESTERN YARDS
New Freight House Is Also In Course
of Construction and Survey
Is Made for Stock
Yards.

ROCHESTER,, MINI, April 11-(Special. J
In the course of few, days the yards
of the Winona & Western railway in
this city will be the busiest place in
the state of Minnesota. A large crew of
carpenters arrived in Rochester last night
to begin work on a big warehouse that
Is to stand east of the passenger depot.
To accommodate this new building the
freight yards will have to be changed.
and Chief Engineer Fraser was busy
today indicating the changes that will
be made.
Three elevators will be built during the
spring and summer with business OPTICS
looking out on Eagle street. These will
be on the extreme east side of the yard
and the frontage on the street will be
very convenient for those who have grain
to haul. There is no grade to contend
with, and the approach to elevators will
be all that could be desired. The knoll
on which the brick house now stands will
be leveled off and will be the building
site for the elevator of the American
Mating company. To the north of this
site has been selected by w. w. CargilI
& Co., of La Crosse. Both elevators
will be Of good size and capable of ac-
commodating $4,000 bushels of grain.
The company is still without stock
yards. While 1t was generally supposed
that the stock yards would be built on
the swamppoodle and on the highest part
Of the so-called island, the matter had
not until recently been definitely settled.
Supt. Mahoney has decided to have the
stock yards west Of the roundhouse. To
do this great amount of filing will be
necessary. 1t will take an acre for
stock yard purposes, and this will have
to be filled on an average of ten feet.
The Improvement to be made first is the
extension of the passenger platform. It is
expected that several wholesale COM
panies will build warehouses abutting on
the yards.
