SWEPT By FIRE
Fourth Time in 40 Years st.
Pierre, N. F., Suffers Loss.

St. Johns, n. f., Nov. s.-The town of
St. Pierre, Miquelon, has been devastated
by ire A destructive conflagration start
ed last night and swept the main portion
of the town. The governors house, the
government buildings, the court house, the
building occupied by the ministry of ma.
rine, the Roman Catholic cathedral, the
Presbytery. the schools and number of
other buildings were destroyed.
1t has not yet been learned how the
fire originated. There was no wind last
night else the entire town would prob
ably have been completely obliterated.
Even as it is the extent of the disaster
is very far reaching and the financial loss
will probably reach 100000. There was no
loss of life or serious accident The rapid
spread of the confla grafton was due to the
trifing water supply and to the fact that
ST. Pierre has no adequate fire fighting
appliances
The town of St Pierre has been partly
burned down three times before-in 1865,
1867 and 1873

PRINTERS WIN THE FIGHT.
Reinstated in Chicago Federation of
Labor Which Expelled Them.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-The Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor has rescinded its act of
expulsion against Typographical union
No. 1G and offered to reinstate the dele
gates when they apply for admission.
The action of the Chicago federation is
due directly to an order from President
Samuel Gompers, of the American Fedora
ton, who commanded it to reinstate the
Typographical union by November 10 or
lose its right of affiliation with the ma
tional body. He in turn was stirred up
by the International Typographical union,
which notified that, unless he issued the
order it would withdraw from the Ameri-
can Federation.
This action terminates a two-year con-
troversy that had it's origin in a strike
inaugurated by the newspaper pressmen
of Chicago When the printers refused to
ioin in the strike, or give the strikers
their moral support, maintaining that to
do so would be to violate their flve-year
contract with the newspaper publishers,
their delegates were expelled from the
Federation of Labor.

Case Against the Santa Fe to
Be Dismissed.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to Meet Nov. e.
INVESTIGATE RATES.
Cut in Live Stock Tariff to Be
Examined.
Santa Fe the Only Western Road
Not Involved.
INVESTIGATE RATES.

Chicago, Nov. sensational develop
meEts are looked for at the session of
the interstate commerce commission IN
Chicago on November 6, when the west
ern roads will have to show why they
are making lower rates on live stock
from points west Of the Missouri river
than they are making from points east
of the river
This discrimination against Chicago is
being Dracticed by all the Chica go Mis- .
souri, river lines except the Santa Fe.
wnich makes lower rate east of the
Missouri. The Santa Fe was named IN
the complaint, but it has been informed
by the commission that it's name would
be stricken from the list of roads to be
investigated.
The CHIEF traffic officials of all the
other Chicago Missouri river roads have
been subDoenaed1 The star witness at
the hearing will be President A B.
Stfckney of the Chicago Great Western
railway. Mr.. St.c,zney IS on the war
path, and is said 20 be preparing to
show up Irregularities and violations of
the law that will trouble the Great West
ern'S com )etitors. The reason for Mr.
Stickney's feeling is that ne is accused
of having caused all this trouble by the
sensational reduction in rates on pack
ing house products from the Missouri
river 70 Chica go and the east nine
months ago. In retaliation for this ac-
ton the Santa Fe reduced the rate on
live stock from the Missouri river to II
Genus IVV POUNDS, a reduction OF Ii cents,
at the same time making corresponding
reductions from all points east of the
Missouri r.ver.
Other roads met the Santa Fe's rate
on live stock from points west of the
Missouri river to the east. but refused
to apply the same reduced rates from
points east CT the Missouri river. thus
keeping up higher rates than prevailed
west CT the river from points in Iowa,
Nebraska, Missouri, and Minnesota,
and, in consequence, the fat cattle from
those states went to the packing houses
at Missouri river points instead of to
Chicago. They claim that they had to
meet the Santa FEES rates west of the
river Or go out of the business, and
could not make spondingly low
rates from territory east of the Missouri
without mourning severe loss of revenue.
1t IS understood that the commission
will also take up the question of the 81
switching charge in live stock into the
stnclZarfls.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CURE FOR ALL.
Not Patent Cure=au, nor Modern
Miracle, but Simply a Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days of humbuggery and de-
ception, the manufacturers of patent
medicines as rule seem to think their
medicines will not sell unless they claim
that 1t will cure every disease under the
sun And they never think of leaving
out dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
They are sure to claim that their nos
trun is absolutely certain to cure every
dyspeptic and he need look no further
In the face OF these absurd claims it
is refreshing to note that the propr1etofS
OF Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets have care
fully reerained from making any undue
claims or false representations regarding
the merits of this most excellent remedy
for dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
They make but one claim fer it, and
that is that for Indigestion and various
stomach troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets IS a radical cure. They go no
further than this and any man or wo-
man suffering from Indigestion chronic
or nervous dyspepsia. who win give the
remedy a trial will find that nothing IS
claimed fer it that the facts will not
fully sustain
1t is a modern discovery, composed OF
harmless vegetab BILE ingredients accept
able to the weakest or most delicate
stomach. It's great success in curing
stomach troubles IS due to the fact that
the medical properties are such that it
will digest whatever wholesome food is
taken into the stomach, no matter
whether the stomach is in good working
order or not. It rests the overworked
organ and reolenishes the body, the
blood. the nerves. creating a healthy APP
petite, gives refreshing sleep and the
blessings which always accompany d
good digestion and proper assimilation
OF SooS.
In Using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting is required Simply eat plenty
of wholesome food and take these tab
lets at each meal. thus assisting and
resting the stomach. which rapidly re-
gains its proper digestive power when
the tablets win be no longer required
Nervous dyspepsia is simply eondi-
ton in which some portion or portions
of the nervous system are not properly
nourished. Good digestion invigorates
the nervous system and every organ IN
the body
Stuartss Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
ali druggists at 80 cents per package.
