Deadly
Grasp of Grip Pros-
 trAted Me.
Dr. Miles Nervine
 Built Up My
Shattered Nerves and Gave Me an Appetite.

Of the millions of people, who today suffer from nervous or heart weakness, a large per centage trace the cause directly to deadly LaGrippe. It is germ disease, and makes . direct attack upon the nerves putting an extra strain upon them at the time their vital ity is at the lowest ebb. If LaGrippe has left you with a shattered nervous system, with loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia, frequent headaches and morbid tendencies, you should strengthen the weakened nerves with Dr. Miles Nervine. It will undo all that grip has done, bring back appetite, rest and restore the nerves to their normal activity.
 sI want to write this testimonial for the benefit of those who have suffered from that dreaded disease-LaGrippe. suffered sew ersl weeks with it, and nothing Itried seemed to benefit me in any way, shape or form q su&ered almost death) and finally my daughter recommended Dr. Miles Nervine to me and can truthfully say from the first day 1 felt better than in weeks. It gave me relief, built up my shattered nerves and gave me splendid appetite. l cannot speak too highly of it and want to say, each and every one who has suffered from LaGrippe will find instant relief by getting bottle of Dr. Niles Nervine. Insist on having 1t and take no other. It is simply splendid. Hoping this will benefit ome poor sufferer remain" -MRA GEORGE B. HALL, Jackson, Tenn.

stood without regard for good will or profits, had the effect of paralyzing enter prlseS of this nature. In consequence, British cities are far behind those of both the United States and Germany in electric lighting. The limit was extenaed to torty-two years later. but the cities which had gas plants would not permit the erec- tion of electric plants nor the distribution of the new process fuel gas, lest they should injure these properties. Nor will they improve their gas plants.
 A long list is given of cities which have lost money in the operation of lighting plants. The city of Stafford has spent 91S6,I66 on its plant and last year lost on operation, ignoring capital account, the sum of EG4S9 and had only 401 consum- CTS. Bath took over from private owners an electric plant at G-4,5O0, which had cost G43.OO0 The dast year of the private ownership there was a profit of G1,5O0. In 1901 the city's opperation had a deficit of Gl. 23S, and there were deficits for 1898 and 1899 well. There were only SoO customers in Bath, and although the city spent 97S,0O0 on the work they broke down. and when the city tried to sell there were no buyers. The engineer says 1t would require an outlay of e70,000 to put the work in order, Belford lost E3.OO0 last year; Bristol, e2.5OO; Morley G2OOO; Gas goW &4,5l7, and Edinburgh. G2,69O. all on operation alone.
 In view of these results in a country where far better municipal government is supposed to be had than we enjoy in the United States, what might we expect from similar experiments here? And by the way, what would be done If either the Federal or the State Government should undertake the operation of the an- thracite mines.

been more coke at the ovens for weeks than could be removed.
 It does not appear on the face of things that the Central West will get any addi- tional locomotives out of the readjust- ment, as naturally the movement of an- thracite for domestic use to Eastern cities will be very heavy for time, and the lake trade must be taken care of. During the week valley furnaces have had their worst visitation of coke scarcity, practi- cally all the independent furnaces being banked for several days.
 The prospect is that some of them will have to go on to a regular schedule of three idle days a week, in which they will accumulate coke for the remaining four days. The United States Steel Cor pCration furnaces have also suffered in the past week. five being banked at one time. Valley furnaces are now from two to three months behind on deliveries and Bessemer steel production is cut down by reason of the insufficient supply of Ressemer lron For the time being buying of pig iron Is restricted Large transac- tions in Bessemer are under negotiations and it Is expected that 25G.O0O to O0,00O tons will be bought by the United States Steel Corporation. deliveries extending from April, 1903, to the end of the year.
 It will be necessary, however, before the independent furnace men name prices or this iron that they know what they will pay for coke. It is expected that the leading coke interest will fix 8 at ovens as the basis for furnace coke.
 Southern furnaces for the most part have refrained from naming prices on pig iron for the second half of 1903. though S20 and higher has been paid for first quarter iron. A meeting in New York Friday will settle the basis for the sec ond half. and conservative interests are already expressing concern lest the situa- ton he hurt by the naming of a high price. There will be a very considerable addition to active furnace capacity by the middle of 1903, and prices fixed now are in danger of being determined by the present rather than future conditions.

SUGAR WAR ON AGAIN.
Trusts Vigorous Campaign in Best
 Sugar Territory.

New York Journal of Commerce.
 The contest between the Eastern sugar refiners and the beet sugar manufactur- CTS over the possession of the inferior markets has broken out this year with renewed force. The American Sugar Refining Company takes the stand that it Is entitled to d fair proportion of bus mess in any markets in which it's freight rates from its various refineries will all low it to participate. The beet sugar people, on the other hand endeavor to secure exclusive sale for their products in territory contiguous to their many factories; and it has been their custom heretofore 70 make contracts at a shade below the American Sugar Refining Com pany's price.
 In other words, sugar would be billed to their customers at a price, say, ten points below what the American Sugar Refining Company quoted on the day of delivery. AS T result the trust people last year had great difficulty in selling any sugars in the beet sugar territory for the reason that the beet contracts guar anteed a lower price than any the trust could possibly name. rhereupon the trust cut their pric1s at a point that would deprive the beet interests of their profits and caused general demoraliZation in the interior markets.
 This year the beet interests have shown greater care in the wording of their cCn- tracts. They are still, however conduct ing a very strong campaign against the Eastern refiners, and it is not an exag- geration to say that one of the most in- teresting of recent contests is now in pro- gross. It is quite evident. however, that the American Sugar Refining Company are using the Missouri River as the bar rier against shipments of beet sugar east of that point. They are making their price 4.45c. a pound net cash on Missouri River points, compared with 4. 40 12c net cash New York. and are shipping sugar to the Missouri River by lake-and- rail- which indicates an actual cut in price on the basis of the New York card of 31 1-2c. per hundred pounds.
 The jobbers west of the Missouri River, in the States of Nebraska and Kansas, are buying at 4.45c per pound Missouri River, plus the proportion of the through rate to destination; while jobbers in Iowa are buying at 4.45c. f. o. b., Missouri River points, plus the local rate from any point on the Missouri River to any point in Iowa.
 The interior of Missouri is being sup piled by the American Sugar Refining Company with shipments from New York via Galveston, and the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Paul. is being supplied from the American Sugar Re fining Companys New Orleans refinery at a figure ranging from IS cents to g cents per hundred pounds under the New York price, plus the freight from New York to such Mississippi River points.
 So far, the current campaign has lot been waged against Michigan, but points are coming to the surface which the trade interpret as indicating that Michigan may be taken up later.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same
 Subject.

We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living, about vegeta- rianism and many other fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat. pastry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never in- tended for human stomachs. and almost make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from bacon to acorns
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet, z nd a mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best.
 As compared with grains and vegeta- Sles. meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and is di- ge sted and assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.
 pr. Julius Remms0n On this subject says: Nervous persons. people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of if. If the digestion is tool feeble at first it may be easily corrected by the regular use of Stuarts s Dvspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of these excellent tablets taken after dinner will digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours, and no matter how weak the stomach may be no trouble will be eX- pe~ienced if q regular practice is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets be- cause they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion. and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
 That largr class of people who come un- der the head of ervous dyspeptlcs should eat plenty of meat and insure it's proper digestion, by the daily use of safe, harmless digestive medicine like Stuart S | Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the na- | tural digo stlve principles, pepsn. dias- tase fruit acids. md salts, which actually perform the work of digestion. Cheap ' catfarttc medicines. masqucrading under 1 the name oI dysp"pSia cures are useless | for indig, stion as they have absolutely no effect upon the actual digestion of ] food.

what is worse, that it has a paralyZing effect upon individual enterprises It is notorious that Great Britain and the Con- tinent are far behind the United States In transportation, especially that of cities. The service is antiquated, sloVenly and uncomfortable even when cheap, and British cities, because of this, are over- crowded in a most striking manner; though" says The Times, 'etforts are now being made to do here what ought to have been done long ago, municipal ownership has complicated the whole question with problems as to whether and how far a local authority should eX- tend its lines beyond its own boundaries. British cities have powers to construct railways and to buy those already built on very favorable terms. the result of which is that Americans have been call ed upon to provide rapid transit in Lon don itself.
 The record of the lighting plants as given by The Times seems to have accom- plished far less than what has been done by private management. This is dem2n- strated by the roads leased and operated in London. Those in the north of London are leased to private company while the London County Council operates those in the south of London with the follow ing results:

PLAINLY A SUICIDE.
No Doubt as to Cause Of Fred
Matehett's Death.

After hearing all the available testi-
mony Thursday evening, the jury which
Investigated the death of Fred Matchett
found that the deceased died from a pis-
tol shot inflicted by his own hand, and
that the act was premeditated.
n. Q. Belts, a distant relative OF
datchett, was the first witness examin-
ed. He said that the boys habits were
good as far as he knew. and he could
not think Of any trouble he had been
IN which would cause him to destroy
himself When asked by Coroner Hoge-
boom il he ever knew the deceased to
use any drug, or be subject to epilepsy.
the witness answered that he had not.
but that three years ago he was afflict-
ed for a short time with something re-
sembliug palsy, which affected his
speech When questioned about the
story told by young Matchett last De
ceEnber about being shot by highway
and Holman street the witness said it
was quite evident that the story was
true, as the deceased had called on him
that night to borrow So to pay a doctor
FOR dressing the wound He said that
he did not know Of any one on the east
road where the young mann killed him
self that he would be going to visit.
A brother Of the deceased could throw
mo light on the death except that the
boy was left-handed, which accounts for

house young Matchett stopped a short
time before his death, testified that the
boy stopped at his house about 2 O'Clock
