The reports of the sale of the Dav-
EXPORT, Rock Island & Northwestern
railway and bridge property, as here
tofore alluded to in THE ARGUS. do
not abate. and the more that is learned
on the subject the more appears the
ground for the original rumors given
out exclusively in these columns.
But there appears to be ground for
the belief that in addition to the Mil
waukee and the Burlington. the
Northwestern may be interested in
the deal, which would therefore as
sumo the appearance OF three-cor-
nered affair, which would not be so
unfortunate, locally speaking, as if
the valuable rights had fallen entirely
into the hands of railroads already
having privileges here.

TWO MATTERS OF GRAVE IMPORTANCE: S

There are two matters of grave and

fully to command the attention of the
city council tonight. 1t is too often
the case, toward the close of munic-
ipal year, that public interests are neg
lected or put off for the attention
of the incoming council. The present
instances involve so much .1articu-

the aldermanic assembly will realize
the urgency of giving them immediate
attention. One of these is the public

given full power to make searching
and complete investigation without

the location of the cause first and

SEVENTH STREET PARTIES
TAKE TO THE WAR PATH.

Charles Manroth and Joe Remick
live With their families in double
house at 800 Seventh street. The
female members of the two families
are kin and the general atmosphere of
the habitation is not conducive to
peace and good will. For some time
there have been mutterings of ap-
preaching trouble, beginning with
hints and suggestions and ending
with the male members procuring
knives and billies and disposing Of
them conveniently about their per-
sons.
Once or twice recently the afore-
said weapons have been displayed
when the occasion seemed to demand
drastic measures, but nothing more
serious resulted. Saturday, however,
Mr.. Remick decided that the cDndi-
tions had reached a stage where an
understanding was necessary. Ac-
cordiDgly he laid for Mr.. Manroth at
the door in the evening and there was
trouble. When it subsidized Mr.. Man
roth was ION the bum so to speak.
Feeling somewhat aggrieved at the
turn affairs had taken, the latter gem
tleman invoked the sympathies Of the
police and had his neighbor arrested.
At the hearing in the evening neither
of the parties had all his witnesses
present, but there were enough to
show that the bottom of the difficulty
couldn't be reached in a weeks ses-
sion. Magistrate Stafford, after
weighing portion of the evidence,
proceeded to a diplomatic adjustment
of affairs. He fined Remick IS and
costs for disturbing the peace, and
then, upon the latter's com plant, he
also fined Manroth like amount on
the same charge. This, while lagally
settling the trouble, apparently left
an aching void in the breast of each
litigant, and they left the station un-
reconciled.

HEART DISEASE
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid To-
crease of Heart Trouble.

Some Facts Regarding the Rapid To-
crease of Heart Trouble.
Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans, is certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of Ameri-
can business life, il is more often the
result of weak stomachs of poor di-
gestion-
Real organic disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred OF
heart 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 digested food There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
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 irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
tion and to insure the prompt assimi-
lation of food.
This can be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which may be found ut most drug
stores, and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except can
Ger of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at SO cents. Little

OLD SITE RETAINED
Board of Education Decides to
Erect High School on
Former Location.
PLANS INTERIOR ARRANGEMENT
Contract Let for Removal of
Ruins Other Buildings to
Be Disposed of.

The new high school building will
be erected upon the site of the old.
This was decided by the board of edu-
cation at special meeting held Satur-
day night.
The various other sites that had
been suggested were discussed and it
was agreed that the most practical was
the Dart property on Ninth avenue
between Twenty-iirst and Twenty
second streets. This would cost not
less than $4,000 to purchase and
grade. and it was felt that the pre- sent
condition of the city's finances would
not justify the expenditure. Accord
|ingly, the architects will be instructed
to prepare plans with reference to the
old site.
Prof. Darby's Views.
Prof. j. F. Darby, who was present,
was asked for his views in regard to
the general plan for the interior ar
rangement Ct the new building. One
provided for large class rooms TO be
used for study and recitation rooms,
and did away with an assembly room.
Another provided for an assembly
room furnished with chairs, in which
the entire school could get together,
but which could not be used for
classes. Another would have an as
sembly room large enough to seat the
entire 500 pupils, for which provision
is to be made, and would have desks
at which large portion could study
during the day:
One Large Study Room.
The other provided for a large
study room for the whole school in
which all classes not reciting would
sit. Under the third arrangement a
portion of the class rooms would be
curtailed in size, and under the last
there would be only
two or three other large rooms for
the recitation of science aud book
keeping classes. Neither of the first
two plans was favored by the mem
bers of the board, and MIR. Darby was
instructed to embody his general
ideas in written form to be placed in
the hands of the competing archi-
tects.
Bids for Salvage.
Bids for the salvage of the old
building were opened aud McCono-
chic & Sons were awared tho material,
with the exception of the concrete
floors and the underground water
and sewer pipes for $3.50 and
it's removal. The firms bond for
the satisfactory completion of the
work by April Is was placed at
81 900. 1t was also decided to adver-
tise for bids for the removal of the
old No. building at Seventh avenue
and Forty-second street and the old
No. building at Fourteenth avenue
and Thirty. seventh street, the work
to be completed by May !. McCono-
chic & Son today sold the high school
