NEARLY 1000 PER CENT PROFIT.
How Judge Paxson Became MIL
Iionaire ON Northern Pacific.

How Judge PaxsOn Became n MIL
Iionaire ON Northern Pacific.
From the Philadelphia North American
Among the lucky holders OF Northern
Pacific stock in Philadelphia who sold at
the sky-high figures which prevailed when
the Wall street corner was on last week
probably the greatest amount of profit
was reaped by former Chief Justice Ed
win M. Paxson. Friends of the jurist
state that the Northern Pacific boom
brought him fortune Of over 2,50OOOO.
Judge Paxson, il is stated, bought 1900
shares of Northern Pacific stock several
wears ago al $28 a share, as an investment.
He laid the stock aside, and did not
bring II from his strong box until last
Thursday, when Northern Pacific com
manded the record price of $1,000 share.
The Judge sold his block OF stock In
New York for $3.50 a share, the price be-
ing a fair average In the wide huc.ua-
zion ON Change. The total for the 500
shares was $2,750.000.
AS the stock originally cost Judge Pax
son $4,000 he realized profit of 2,6lO,-
900 far greater than his most Eanguine
expectations when he made the original
investment. The Judges friends are de-
lighted over his good fortune.
It fs understood that Judge Paxson rs
attention was first directed 70 the possl-
bilities IN the Northern Pacific Railroad
nroperty when he was acting as president
and receiver Of the Reading Railroad. In
common with Jay Cooke, Charles Il.
Wright and other Philadelphia tnanciers
who were the originators OF the North
ern Pacific system. and for years pinned
their faith in its ultimate value and i'm
portance, Judge Paxson firmly believed
tkat the future held great things in store
for the stock.
But II may be doubted whether the
Judges most optimistic forecast leu MN
- thInk that he would ever reap a profit
Of nearly 1000 per cent. upon his Invest
unent.

Paris, May 15.-Another convocation of
the French Senate as the high court of
France is promised by the unexpected re-
turn to this court of the Marquis de

SCANDAL IN FRENCH CABINET.
Minister of Justice Charged with
Tricky work at Exposition.

Paris, May 15.-The political calm was
rudely broken by two incidents, the re-
turn of the Marquis de Lur-saluces be-
ing one, while the alleged exposure of
scandal affecting M. Monis, the French
minister of justice, is the second. 1t is
rumored in some quarters that M. Monis
will resign IN consequence of this ex-
posure.
1t appears that a German firm. exhib-
iting brandy at the recent exposition, was
excluded from an award by the jury OF
awards on account of the appearance Of
their bottled brandy. and the
label employed, which were regard
ed as unfair limitations of
French cognac. Nevertheless, this
German firm was included In the list of
those awarded gold medals in the official
journal The Libre Parole points out that
NJ. Monis was the honorary president of

cholic product and insinuates that he is
responsible for the forgery from which he
personally profited.

WHAT GOES UP
Must Come Down.

Nothing is more certain than that the
use of so-called tonics, stimulants and
medicines, which depend upon alcohol
for their effect, Is injurious to health in
the long run.
What goes up must come down and
the elevation of spirits, the temporary
medicine containing alcohol, will GER
tainly be followed in a few hours by a
corresponding depression to relieve
which another dose must be taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely
from the alcohol they contain.
Alcohol, and medicines containing 1t,
are temporary stimulants and not in
any sense true tonic. In fact is Is
doubtful IL any medicine or drug is a
real tonic.
A true tonic is something which will
renew. replenish, build up the exhaust
ed nervous system and wasted tissues
of the body, something that will enrich
the blood and endow it with the proper
proportions of red and white corpuscles,
which prevent or destroy disease germs.
This is what a real tonic should do
and no drug OK alcoholic stimulant will
dc 1t.
The only true tonic in nature is
wholesome food, thoroughly digested
Every particle of nervous energy, every
minute muscle, fibre and drop of blood
is created daily from the food we di-
gest-
The mere eating of food has little to
do with the repair of waste tissue but
the perfect digestion of the food eaten
has everything to do with it.
The reason so few people have perfect
digestion Is because from wrong habits
of living the stomach has gradually lost
the power to secrete the gastric Juice,
peptones and acids in sufficient guam
THY.
To cure indigestion and stomach
troubles it is necessary to take after
meals some harmless preparation which
will supply the natural peptone and
diastase which every weak stomach
lacks, and probably the best prepara-
ton of this character is Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which may be found in
every drug store, and which contain
some peptoneand diastase which nature
requires for prompt digestion.
One or two of these excellent tablets
taken after meals will prevent souring,
fermentation and acidity and insure
complete digestion and assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are equal
" valua BILE for little children as for
adults, as they contain nothing harm
ful or stimulating but only the natural
digestives.
one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest 1900 grains of meat, eggs or
other wholesome food, and they are in
every sense a genuine tonic because
they bring about in the only natural
way q restorative of nerve power a
building up Of lost tissue and appetite,
in the only way it can be done, by
the digestion and assimilation of whole
some food.

Mr.. Rodgers this morning secured a
price of $4,000 for the lots from the
agent, Frank Brown, and the board
lay arrange to hold an option on the
property.
In speaking of the proposed new
high school Mr.. Rodgers said this
morning.
I am heartily in favor of a manual
training school. 1t is with difficulty
that the large classes can be handled
in our present quarters and in cOnse-
quence the scholars cannot get the in
dividual attention they need. Our pres
number of teachers insufficient and in
very short time we will be compelled
to enlarge the high school facilities.
1t seems to me that this can best be
done by establishing manual training
school which viii certainly more fully
meet the requirements of a large class
of pupils, than by attempting to patch
up an addition to our present building.
The latter course will leave us in a
cramped condition in many respects
and spoil the architectural effect of the
has been adopted in m ost progressive
towns the size of ours with satisfac-
tory results and we should keep abreast
of the times. 1 think If we had a man
ual training high school it would be
most beneficial to the pupils who must
leave the public school for the trades
and mechanical pursuits, who must de-
pend upon the labor of their hands for
livelihood, and with no means for spe-
cial preparation, unless it be given
them in sueh a school, I favor locating
streets opposite the present high school
