the city will give up a strip of land 800
feet long, varying in width, being 100 feet
wide at its maximum, in order to change
the tracks in the depot yard and ware

an extension to the shed will cost the
depot company about 100000 The city
willzsfn reality be giving nothing of
value to the public for the reason that
there is no considerable transportation

there were few railroads here. He sa d

said that he was a new conner, but that
he challenged any man present to feel
greater interest in the city of his choice,
than did he. He spoke briefly in favor
of the proposed concession asked by the
Union Depot company, from the stand
point of a taxpayer and citizen. He
said he had his capital invested here, that
this is his home, and that anything affect

enlarged in some such manner as that
proposed by this ordinance, and it seems
to be generally conceded that it is for
the best interest of the city that the
city's rights in the levee in front Of the
union depot property should be devoted
to this purpose. The only question that
has arisen is whether the conditions pro-
vided for in this ordinance are such that
the city gets an adequate return for
what it gives. 1t has been stated at
different times that the city is surrender
ing properly worth half million dollars
and is getting no proper compensation
therefor; but it is evident that persons
who have made such statements are not
familiar with the rights that the city
is surrendering. The property to be va
Gated under this ordinance as it exists
today is about 300 feet long and Us feet
wide. If the city owned this property
and could deal with it as a private in
dividual it might be worth a large
amount of money, but probably much
less than the figures named. But the
city does not OWN it. What the city
does own is merely the right to use this
property for levee purposes if it desires
to do SO. Even this right is subject to
some membranes 1t has already
been decided by the supreme court CT
this state that the Milwaukee company
has the right to maintain two tracks
lengthwise alorg this levee perpetually.
These two tracks occupy about 80 feet
of the levee. In addition to this the city
mas given a lease to the Milwaukee COM
pany of substantially all the rest of the
property for a rental Of $500 a year for
the purpose CT using same for its two
freight houses, and while there has
been no disposition to question the
validity Of this lease, there seems, to be
but little doubt that the city has ex-
ceeded its authority In leasing this prop
erty for purposes not connected with the
river traffic, for the supreme court of the

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.

cipIeS.

He Cured Himself of Serious StOnl-
ach Trouble Down to First Prin-
cipIes.
A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent Eastern cities by too close
attention to business. too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan to pay natures tax, levied IN the
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought about a.
nervous irritability making it impossible
to apply himself to his daily business
and finally deranging the kidneys and
heart
In his own words he says: 81 con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my case,
but all the same they each failed TO
bring about the return of my former d.
gestion, appetite and vigor. For two
years I went from pillar to post. from
one sanitarium to another. gave up
smoking, 1 quit coffee and even re-
noUnced my daily glass or two of beer,
but without any marked Improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
well known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and 1 had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedy but never took any
stock in advertised medicines nor could
believe fifty-cent patent medicine
would touch my case.
ITO make Il long story short I finally
bought a couple of packages at the near
est drug store and took two or three
tablets after each meal ana occasionally
a tablet between meals, when I felt any
feeling of nausea or discomfort d9:e
81 was surprised at the end of the first
week to note a marked Improvement In
my appetite and general health and be-
fore the two packages were gone I was
certain that Stuartss Dyspepsia Tablets
to
did not disappoint me. I can eat and
sleep and enjoy my coffee and cigar and
no one would suppose l had ever known
the horrors Of dyspepsia
'Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking fer
information as to what the tablets con-
tained and they replied that the prin-
cipal ingredients were aseptic pepsIn
government test malt diastase ard
other natural digestives, which digest
food regardless of the condition of the
stomach"
The root of the matter is this, the di-
gestive elements contained in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
give the overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the norrishment which
can only come from food stirnulants
and nerve tonies neverSzve real strength
they give fictitious strength invariably
followed by reaction. Every drop Of
blood, every nerve and tissue is manu-
featured from our daily food and if
you can insure its promp. action and
complete digestion by the regular use Of
so good and wholesome a remedy as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. you wi
have no need of nerve-tonics and sani-
tariuuS.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years vet probably every druggist In fh4
United States, Canada and Great Britain
now sells them and consider them the
most popular and successful of ang
preparation for stomach troubles. s9oEl

FAV0RS PANAMA ROUTE
Engineer Bunau-varilIa Says 1t Is
the Most Practicable.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2-''The relative i'd
va1tages of the Panama and Nicara qua
canal routes was discussed last night IN
Central Music hall before the National
Business league by Bunau-Varilla. FORM
erly engineer in chief of the Panama
canal The apparent advantages of the
Nicaragua route were superficial. the en-
gineer declared, and a closer study would
give preference to the Panama route
when the prospective lengths of the
two routes have been compared" he
said, with the depths of the cut the iii =
ficulties presented the dams necessary
for each. and the other problems pre-
scented, it will be found that the Nicara-
qua route has not one point of superior
ity. On the contrary, a decided inferior
ity will be found in comparison with the
Panama route The position take has
been fully Endorsed and confirmed by the
authority and judgment of the United
States commission which is to pass en-
the merits of the respective routes.
Another dangerous feature connected
with the Nicaragua route he explained
as follows:
The last consideration that I have to
submit is this: In the center of Lake
Nicaragua is a volcano in constant errD-
tion. The presence of a smoking vol
given as formidable witness of the
underlying fire and seismic disturbances
that may at any time arise"
In summing up the engineer said: 81

without considering the future it is Ut
terly impossible to find any advantage
possessed by the Nic6gaguan route but

yantages.'

ment, which it is expected will be at the
farthest point about $50 feet from the
present shore line, and gradually come
towards the present shore line until it
meets with the shore pier of the Chicago
Great Western bridge above Jackson
street The ordinance provides that in
consideration of the city surrendering its
rights to this levee below Sibley street
the Union Sepot company shall improve
the public levee from the east line of
Sibley street up to the shore pier of the
Chicago Great Western bridge by filling
out into the river to the harbor line
which shall be established by the United
States government, moving the steam
boat warehouses now on the public levee
from the east line of Sibey street
out to the levee front, which shall he
established, filing up the levee to the
present grade and paving it with stone
to correspond with the present improve

the purpose of widening Sibley street, a
lot fifty feet wide on the levee and leo
feet long on Sibley street directly in
front of the union depot; that it will re-
move the buildings now located on said
lot, grade the property to the level Of
Sibley street, pave it with stone and put
in stone sidewalks.
In addition to this the Union Depot
company also agrees that if at any time

the Union Depot company, will waive
its exemption from assessment upon this
property fronting on Sibley street and
pay its assessment for widening said
street on the same basis as other proper

pany also agrees that if this levee is
vacated that it will acquire from the
Milwaukee company the property imme-
djately south of the union depot and its
train sheds now occupied by the Mil
waukee company for tracks AMI freight
houses and build thereon six additional
tracks, together with the platforms ad-
joining thereto for the purpose of stand
ing trains in its depot. 1t also agrees
to devote two tracks through the Union
Depot companys premises to the trans
fer business for the transferring of
freight cars between the various rail-
roads in the city, whereas there is now
only one track used for that purpose.

LEAVES THE RUSSIAN.
Woman Supposed Her Husband Was
Another Nationality.

MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 2.-'To discover
after nearly two years of marital bliss
that her husband was not Martin Nc
Ginnis, Irishman, as she supposed,
but Moses Goldstein, Russian, was the
unique experience of Mrs. Lena McGin-
mis-, who is preparing to sue for divorce.
Seven years ago Moses Goldstein came
to Milwaukee and secured employment as
a waiter, under the name of Martin Nc
Ginnis. This title, as after events re-
vealed, had been given him by a man
named McFadden. for whom he had work
ed in st. Paul. where his parents former
ly resided. The family moved to Nebras-
ka in 1888, leaving the son in MeFaddenas-
charge and the boy had taken the irish
name and retained it when he came to
Milwaukee.
He had been in the city several years
when he met Miss Bucholtz. and from
that time on until they were married in
February, 1889, at st. Johns cathedral, by
Rev. Father J. J. Keough. they kept

SHE SUES FOR AL|N(|NY
BRESNAN DIVORCE CASE INVOLVES
SOME VERY COMPLICATED
POINTS
SUIT HAD BEEN DISMISSED
But Mrs. Bresnan Claims AIimOny
for Time 1t Was in Prog
ress-Countersuit Is
Brought.

Judge Lewis, of the district court at
special term yesterday, heard the case
of Maurice Bresnan against Mrs. Jen-
nette A. Bresnan, which came up on an
order to show cause why the plaintiff
should not pay temporary alimony from
the time of the institution of the suit to
its dismissal Jan. %.
A very complicated point was involved
in the proceedings. Several weeks ago
Bresnan commenced the suit for divorce,
alleging cruelty and unfaithfulnesS on
the part of his wife. Feb. 2S George
Walsh, as attorney for Bresnan, filed the
complaint in the district court and also
caused a dismissal to be entered on the
register.
Immediately upon being served, how
ever, it appears that Mrs. Bresnan had
engaged counsel, served an answer and
secured an order requiring her husband
to appear yesterday and show cause why
he should not be compelled to pay tenn
porary alinony and attorneys fees.
Mrs. Bresnan was represented in court
by her attorneys, who urged that the
dismissal of the divorce suit by the
plaintiff did not dismiss the order to
show cause. They had prepared the pa
pers in the case in good faith and were
entitled, they claimed, to their fees. At
the same time their client was entitled
to alimony from the commencement to
the dismissal of the action.
The answer filed by Mrs. Bresnan de-
MED all the allegations of cruelty and
unfaithfulness and alleges that Bresnan
urged her to obtain a divorce and in
formed her that he had sustained re-
lations with one Maggie Berrisford.
Upon this showing Mrs. Bresnan com
menced an action for a divorce last
September, but says she dropped the
matter when she learned that the Ber-
risford girl had been forcibIy assaulted.
Besides this she alleges that her husband
made improper proposals to her daughter
by a former marriage, Rose LeMay, and
beat the girl when she refused to listen
to his advances. Mrs. Bresnau also
charges her husband with repeated de-
sertions and infdelity with one Mamie
l.. Marshall
The motion was taken under advise
ment.
