INDIGESTION.

Many things you fear about your stom- ach cannot be true. If you have had in digestion or dyspepsia for, years it is natural to believe that the stomach itseli Is diseased. It is only the functions of the stomach that are impaired This is the whole trouble in vast majority of cases and the proof can be had by trying Dr. Harters Iron Tonic.
 Your stomach has many things to do, and failure to do any one of them leads to imperfect digestion. The stomach gets it's nutriment and it's digestive fluids from the blood. If the blood is impure or lacks the right proportion of strength produc- ing iron, the whole body suffers from a kind of breaking down process.
 To restore health you must start at the source of life itself-the blood-and through that vital fluid build up the stomach and other vital organs.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has cured thou sands of cases of indigestion and dys- pepsta every year for the past forty-five years. It is the one remedy you can take with certainty of immediate improvement and a sure cure.
 It is prepared with scientific accura cy and many eminent physicians prescribe it constantly. Faithful use of 1t will en- able you to digest your food as perfectly as you ever have. Prepared only by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere, @

Tremendous Traffic.

The Birmingham Age-Herald of yester- day, said: the Louisville and Nashville Railroad be- tween Birmingham and Montgomery, a number far in excess of any previous rec ord," said a Louisville and Nashville man yesterday
 Not only is the present traffic beyond all previous business in magnitude but there is a certainty of immediate and enormous increase over the business now being done: and having thls in view the company Is making extraordinary prep arations to meet the demands upon its resources. And there is this fact. which is deeply appreciated by business men and the general public, the Louisville and Nashville never fails to handle its busl- ness promptly No matter how great the pressure upon its carrying capacity, 1t never keeps its patrons waiting.
 Where all the increased business comes from l cant tell you, but of course 1t de notes wonderful business activity and prosperity in the South. particularly In Birmingham and the Birmingham dis trict. This much is clearly demonstrated bv the eloquent fact that seventy trains pass up and down one division of one railroad cry day-that is. over the Louisville and Nashville between Blf- mingham and Montgomery.
 And one important thing Tn the way of development is this: The LoulsVllle and Nashville track between Blrmlngham and Montgomery will soon have to be doubled. and the same necessity VIII eN- ist as to the track between Birmingham and Decatur. Whether the company IS contemplating immediate, steps in this di rection I do not know; but do know of the increasing necessity for doubling the tracks"

HAS DELAYED MATTERS.
The Arrest of Annie Rogers Was
 Unfortunate.

St. Paul. Minn., Oct. le.-The capture of the bandits who held up the Great Northern over land express ct Wagner, Mont, July G. secur- ing S43 900 in bank notes, the officials of the Great Northern Express Company say has been seriously delayed by the announcement of the capture at Nashville of Annie Rogers. alias Maude Williams, supposed to be connected l with the gang. Before hs- arrest the Pinker- ton agency and police officers had laid plans which serned to assure speedy capture of the robbers.
 President and General Manaze- Elliott of the Express Company said today that no fur ther news had been received at headquarters and that he did not look for the immediate ar rest of the gang.
 This woman according to my advices," said Mir. Elliott, was in communication with one of the robbers at New Orleans When that man read the account of her capture in this mornings papers he probably disappeared at once. If her arrest had not been made public we would probably have secured him and per haps the rest of the men. Their capture will probably come soner or later, but 1t has been delayed.
 'The published account of the arrest of the Rogers woman is corr ect She walked into the bank and asked to exchange part of the stolen notes fer others and larger denomina- tions. She was, of course, arrested at once |"
 Mir Elliott says that the Express Company does not know how the bandits escaped from the mountains south of Wagner while pur- sued, nor what their movements since have been The identification made at this time. he says has been substantiated. Trainmen on the overland have identified photographs of the suspected pictures of the robbers.

------------------------- ROUTINE BUSINESS.
Considerable Formal Questions Pass. | ed by Episcopal Convention.

San Francisco. Oct. 16-Considerable routine business was transacted at to- days sessions of the tri-ennial Episcopal Convention, new missionary bishop was elected. and in the House of Deputies there was an animated debate on the pI oposition to change the name of the Church. This question did not come up as direct issue, but on motion to con- cur with the House of Bishops in creat- ing a joint commission to which the sub ject should be referred There was much division of sentiment in regard to the matter. proposal to refuse to consider the question in any form was strongly supported. but this. 1t was argued. would fail to show proper respect to the House of Bishops Finally the reference of the subject to a joint commission was agreed on. No further action will be taken until the meeting of the general Convention in 1904
 The House of Deputies unanimously elected Dr. Cameron Mann of Kansas City, to be missionary bishop of North Dakota.
 The Huntington amendment to Article of the Constitution which was adopted yesterday by the House of Deputies was non-concurred in by the bishops.

The officers received information during the lay that the woman hal been al Shreveport, La. and had evidently come on to Nashville through Mem phis. This led them to believe that possibly some of the mon interested in the robbery might be in or the latter city.

It is filtered and refltered, it is cooled in filtered air, and every bottle is rgdly sterilized before using. There is abso- lutely no chance for germs other impurities to get into it. Your physician will tell you it country. Try case of it.
