FOUND A LOST SPRING.
Santa Fe Locates Water Supply at
the Summit.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sept. 26.-The San
ia Fe is making preparations to develop
water near its track at the Summit, and
with that object in view prospecting
party was sent out the other day to locate
a spring which has been known to some
of the officials for number of years. The
spring was found after tiresome trip in
the brush, through which three Japs were
hired to hew trail. But it didn't prove
to be much of a spring after all, as there
was no water in sight. The place was
only distinguished by damp spot in the
ground The party continues to prospect,
however, and succeeded in locating a
spring across the ridge from the site of
the old spring, and about three miles from
the track 1t is now proposed to erect a
huge tank near the track and build a
pipe line to the springs. The company
has lost a great deal of time and money
on account of the Summit being a dry
point Frequently an engine gets shy of
water at that point, and must leave its
train in order to run down to Victor,
where there is tank. for a drink. It
takes so minutes to make the round trip
besides the time it takes to fill the ten
der. At Keenbrook the company has re-

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down to
First Principles.

A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities by too close at
tention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought about
nervous irritability making it impos-
sibie to apply himself to his daily BUSH
ness and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart
In his own words he says: 1T consult
ed one physician after another and each
one seemed to understand my case. but
all the same they failed to bring about
the return of my former digestion, APP
petite and vigor. For two years 1 went
from pillar to post, from one sanitarium
to another. l gave up smoking, I quit
coffee and even renowned my daily
glass or two of beer, but without any
marked Improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
a well known proprietary medicine.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I had
often perused the newspaper ADVERTISE
ments of the remedy but never took any
stock in advertised medicines nor could
believe a fifty-cent patent medicine
would touch my case.
ITO make a long story short finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and occa-
sionally tablet between meals, when
1 felt any feeling of nausea or discom-
fort.
It was surprised at the end of the
first week to note marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
1 was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets were going to cure completely,
and they did not disappoint me. I can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar and no one would suppose 1 had
ever known tie horrors of dyspepsia.
Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking for
information as to what the tablets con-
tanned and they replied that the prin-
cipal ingredients were aseptic pepsin
Government test), malt diastase and
other natural digestives, which digest
food regardless of the condition of the
stomach
The root of the matter is this, the
digestive elements containd in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
give the overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourfshment which
can only come from food: stimulants
strength. they give a fictitious strength,
invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop of blood, every nerve and tissue is
manufactured from our daily food, and
if you can insure its prompt action and
complete digestion by the regular use
Of SO good and wholesome remedy as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, you will
have no need of nerve tonics and sani-
ariumS.
Although stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only few
years yet probably every druggist in
he United States, Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and considers
them the most popular and successful
Of any preparation for stomach trouble.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The rumored
death of the emperor of Korea fails to
find confirmation in any official quarter
here. The suggestion is thrown out that
break probably has occurred through
the postponement of the celebration of the
emperor's birthday and accession to the
throne. The emperor was fifty years old
on September Is. and he assumed the
throne on October u, 1897. He had con-
templated the celebration of the anniver-
sary of two events. but the state depart
ment not long ago was advised that this
celebration has been postponed for a gear
on account of the prevalence of cholera In
Korea. 1t is assumed that a loose state
ment of the facts has led to the circu1a-
ton of the report of the death of the en-
peror.

There's nothing wrong with Fergu-

right. 1 don't know where he is or
what he is doing, but 1 know he is all
