FINDS BOILER is DEFECTIVE
Five deep Scratches ON side OF one
of Boilers at Federal
Building.

AT the time OF the resetting Of tine boilers
at the federal building Il was discovered
that the contractor for this work had sue
ceoded in palming on on the government a
defective boiler. When the brick work was
torn away II was found that there were
i've deep scratches on the side Of one OF the
boilers, the deepest being one-sixteenth Of
an inch. 1t was surniised hat the abra-
sions were caused by the boilers coming
into contact with some sharp point on the
cars when they were being shipped to the
city. and that the contractor. II he had dis
covered them, had concealed them from the
Inspector. Such a mark would not attract
much attention from a person not familiar
with the use and requirements for boilers,
but engineers say that the boiler was dam
aged to the extent OF one-hfth Of it's EN-
cheney, as It could not resist the strain put
upon 1t at that point. The discovery was
reported to Washington. and authority has
been sent to the custodian Of the building
by telegraph to have the boiler reinforced
ct the point Of abrasion. This will be done
at a cost to the government Of s115, the re-
enforcement being made from the inside OF
the boiler.

there was left for him to DO, but upon hts
departure Mr.. Pearse made the promise
that he would inform the newspapers by
telephone what arrangements the comittee
made, 10 any, for G lecture tonight.
Al 1 O'Clock his morning Mr.. Pearse
reported that he had Just completed ar
r~angements. by wire. with Miss Morris
husband, and that they had contracted TO
be here tonight and give the lecture for
$3.50. the amount which was to have been
paid Broadhurst. This makes doubly In
teresting the possibility Of the latter's
buckllng on his armor and enjolning Miss
Morris from lecturing anywhere except
under his management until she fulnlls her
contract with him.
Edward J. Hassap, who represents the
Broadhurst side Of the controversy. was
seen at the Barker hotel late. and said
miss Morris has violated every part Of
her contract with Thomas w. Broadhurst
Of the Broadhurst brothers, and she is apt
to find this a dear experience. for she has
thrust her hands into the lions mouth.
What is the trouble between her and Mr..
Broadhurst?

matter OF having overdrawn her salary and
then objected to its being taken out OF the
receipts Of her lecture in too large

These remedies are combined in lozenge
form, pleasant TO take, and will preserve
their good qualities indefinitely, whereas
ell liquid medicines rapidly lose whatever
good qualities they may have had as soon as
uncorked and exposed to the air.
This preparation is called Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and II is claimed that one
Of these tablets or l~ozenges will digest from
200 to 5000 times its own weight Of meat,
eggs and other wholesome food. And this
claim has been proven by actual expert
ments In the following manner: A hard
boiled egg cut into small pieces was placed
In a bottle containing warm water heated
to ninety-eight degrees Cor blood heat, one
OF these Tablets was then placed in the
bottle and the proper temperature main
tanned for three hours and a half. at the
end OF which time the egg was as COM
pletely digested as IL would nave been in a
healthy stomach, This experiment was
undertaken TO demonstrate that what Il
would do Ia a bottle II would also do in the
stomach, hence it's unquestionable value in
tho cure OF dyspepsia and weak digestion.
Very few people are free from some form
81 Indigestion, but scarcely two will have
the same symptoms. Some will suffer
most from distress after eating, bloating
from gas in the stomach and bowels:
others have acid dyspepsia or heartburn;
others palpitation or headaches, sleepless-
ness, pains ID chest and under shoulder
blades. extreme nervousness. as in nervous
dyspepsia. but they all have the same cause,
failure to properly digest what is eaten.
The stomach must have rest and assist
ance, and stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give
Il both. by digesting the food for It. and in
4 short TIM 1t is restored to its normal
action. and vigor. Al the same time the
Tablets are so hatmless that a child car
