HAD STRENUOUS TIME
AN AMERICANS EXPERIENCE IN
ASIATIC TURKEY.
Imported Reaper, Which He Had
to Hide to Save From Wrath
Of the Natives.

Advices received at the State Department
from United States Consul Norton at Har-
put, Asiatic Turkey, tell Of rapidly grow
ing trade between that country and the
United States in rugs, skins and sausage
castings, since the establishment Of the
American consulate there in 1901. Diarkebir
and Mamouret-ul-Aziz the two villayets
into which the district is divided, are both
largely pastoral and agricultural, which,
with the unsafety of public travel and the
restrictions on the movements Of Armenian
merchants. has caused considerable COM
mercial stagnation. In spite of these draw
backs, the consul says much has been done
in the last year to establish and develop
trade relations with the United States, and
public agencies are being rapidly opened
for the different articles of American manu-
facture.
Sausage castings, made from Sleeps In
testines. and wool and leather constitute
a large part of the American commerce In
Diarkebir. ImpOrta tiOnS from the United
States include sewing machines, nails and
a small amount of books. furniture and
clothing for the American mission staten
at Mardin.
Turkish Rugs Less Valuable.
Widespread use in Turkey for rug weav-
ing Of the brilliant but not fast analine
dyes in coloring the materials has led to
steady depreciation of their value In the
eyes Of European and American conno:s-
seurs, the consul says, and a consequent in
creased demand for the product of Persian
looms.
Irrigation, the consul states, has already
become an important factor in the develop
ment of Asiatic Turkey, resulting in i'm
portations of American pumps and horse
power, which are being operated success
fully. Negotiations are in progress for the
introduction of American windmil,s, and
fund is being raised for the purchase of an
American drill.
Noteworthy has been the American in
vasion of the fertile valley of the Eu-
pirates river. Experiments with plOws,
harrows and a reaper imported from the
United States have proven satisfactory,
use.
War on the Reaper.
Bloodshed was narrowly averted, says the
consul, when the reaper made its appear
ance. Accomplishing the work of forty men
in a day, the reaper caused an immediate
reduction in the price of a days labor from
201a cents to IA cents. The natives made
every attempt to wreck the dreaded inno-
vation and the graduate of an ASlerican
agricultural college who introduced the
reaper was forced to take the machine into
his house for protection. Shots were fired
at his house. his fruit trees were cut down
and his workmen were induced to desert
him. The natives have at last been recon-
ciled and more machines are being ordered.
The consul concludes that q notable con-
fidence is felt in American integrity and in
the quality Of American wares, heightened
by the growing dissatisfaction with the
cheap articles imported from Europe.

ton.

The construction of the plant of
the Standard Table Oilcloth works is
nearly done. the foundation now be-
ing in course of erection for the last
building. a plant for the boiling of
oil which is to be located outside of
the foundation wall that encloses the
remainder of the establishment to
avoid danger from fire. 1T is being
built at the northeast corner next
the river. \ storage tank Will also
be erected outside and the foundation
for the boilers placed. Then the brick
and concrete work will be practically
done. About twenty roofers are now
engaged in placing the covering on
the different buildings.
Some of the machinery is already
being put in place, particularly that
which will be used in the drying
rooms, and more will follow from
time 10 time till the plant is ready to
operate, which George +. Warner. the
resident manager, thinks will lie about
Feb. l. The engine, IL 15O-horse power
affair, has been built at the factory
o. w. w. Whitehead & Co., Davenport.
II is now finished and ready to be in
er needed TO run the machinery with
the exception Of the dynamo for the
electric lighting. \ separate engine
will he used for TINS and the company
will furnish All its own light. The ca
pacity of the boilers will be much
larger than the horsepower of the
engines. for more steam is used in the
drying process than in the generation
of power.
Mr.. Warner states that the cost of
the plant and machipery will be up
wards of $150,OO0, and the cost of
stocking with materials required
when running at fun capacity. will
add another 100000. The factory
will begin with about 100 hands,
half of whom will be skilled workmen
who will be brought here from the
east. and will receive from 81 to 81

ployed.

T2AINMEN HURT
IN A COLLISION
Two Freight Trains Come Together
on Southwestern
Division.

Conductor Forest, of Eldon. Iowa,
was perhaps fatally injured and six
other trainmen seriously hurt in a
head-on collision between two freight
trains on the Rock Island near Brigh-
ton, Iowa, Monday morning.
Regular freight train No. 81. west
bound, met an extra freight. east
bound. The train crews jumped, but
Forest, the conductor of the regular
freight, was injured on the head so
that fears are entertained that he
may not recover. He suffers from
conclusion of the brain. y large
amount of property was destroyed
and traffic delayed for several hours.
The fire. ght. No. 81, had orders to
wait at Brighton for the extra to
pass. but for some reason, at present
unknown, the freight pulled out with
the result the two trains met a short
distance from Brighton.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless 1t is Dieested


Nearly everyone will admit that as
nation we eat too much meat and
too little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men. office men and
clerks. and, in fact, everyone engaged
in sedentary or indoor occupations,
grains. milk and vegetables are much
more healthful.
Only men engaged in severe outdoor
manual labor can live on heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
AS Il general rule, meat once day
is sufficient for all classes of men.
women and children, and grains,
fruit and vegetables should consti-
tute the bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion and it
is of no use to advise brain workers
to eat largely of grains and vegeta-
bles where the digestion is too weak
to assimilate them properly.
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food, that some sim
pie and harmless digestive should be
taken after meals to assist the relax
ed digestive organs, and several years
experience have proven Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets to be very safe.
pleasant and effective digestive and
a remedy which may be taken daily
with the best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
hardly be called a patent medicine,
as they do not act on the bowels nor
any particular organ, but only on the
food eaten. They supply what weak
stomachs lack. pepsin diastase, and
by stimulating the gastric glands in
crease the natural secretion of hydro
chloric acid.
People who make a daily practice
of taking one. or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal are
sure to have perfect digestion, which
means perfect health.
There is no danger of forming an
injurious habit, as the tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural diges-
tives; cocaine, morphine and similar
drugs have no place in stomach
medicine, and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are certainly the best known
and most popular of all stomach rem
edies.
Ask your druggist for so cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, and after a weeks use note TIE
improvement in health, appetite and
nervous energy.

Island Bridge
RIDING HOME ON HIS WHEEL
And Fails to Notice Draw is Close d
TO Allow Passage of
Boat.

Alfred Gustavson. clerk i'm the law
office of Wilson d erik, Davenport.
had painful and bloody experience
last evening when on his way to his
home in Moline
Mr.. GuStavsOn makes the Journey
between Davenport and Moline ON his
wheel. Just as he was crossing the
government bridge at sprinter's
rate of speed, the draw opened to al
low a rafter through. \ red lantern
was hung on the gate of the bridge
as the guard closed it. but Mr.. Gus
tavson saw neither the gate nor the
lantern.
\ companion who was riding with
him shouted to Gustavson and the
guard also shouted, but the young
man heard neither. He struck the
gate head first at terrific speed and
was thrown from his wheel.
People who saw the accident at
first thought he was killed. but he
was soon able to get on his feet, and
with his companion walked to the
Davenport end of the bridge. where
he got n ride down into town.
He was assisted into Ballord's drug
store and DR.. Rogers. who was i'm his
Office on the second floor of the same
building, was called down to admin
lister to him. by this time the blood
from the wounds had run down over
his face and clothing until the ap,
Eearance was fearful.
Injuries Not Serious.
The young man greatly feared that
his skull was fractured, but DIR. Rog.
ers assured him that SO far as his
head was concerned the wounds were
merely scalp deep. Mr.. Gustavson
complained of severe pains in his
back. and it is possible that II sprain
of the back may show itself. How
ever, considering the force with
which he struck the iron bars of the
draw-gate, it is regarded as wonder
Tul that Mr.. Gustavson's neck was
not broken and his skull fractured.
But beyond the loss of blood. the
soreness from the bumps and cuts
and the headache his injuries are not
serious.
