NO CRYSTAL LAKE LINE.
Another Idle Rumor Is Given It's
Quietus,

There has been considerable gossip
about town this week, about revival
of the plan to bring beautiful Crystal
lake nearer to Carbondale by con-
structing a trolley line to the shores of
this pretty lake.
Gossip placed the name of John w.
Aitken, of this city, as the foremost
man in the resurrection of the defunct
project. Mr. Aitken, however, told The
Tribune man yesterday that he was
not aware of any new effort to awaken
the project. He said, further, that the
matter would likely sleep, so long as
the attitude of so many property own
ers along the proposed route remained
the same as when options were sought
few years ago. Then, as now, they
wanted, and demanded, what We're con-
sidered eXorbitant prices for their land
Unless the exaggerated ideas of land
values held by these persons could be
changed, there need be little hope of an
early, If any, trolley road to the lake.
Once more, au revoir, Crystal lake
trolley line.

James Jefferies, the present champion
heavy weight of the world, and his
gallant opponent, Tom Sharkey, in the
greatest pugilistic encounter that has
ever taken place, both pursued much
the same course of training, and the
first and most important part of this
training was to get the stomach in
condition, and to keep the digestion abb
solutely perfect so that every muscle
and nerve would be at it's highest ca
pabilities.
This was not done by a secret patent
medicine. but both Of these great pugil-
lists used q well know natural digestive
tablet sold by druggists under the name
Stuarts DYSPEPSIA Tablet and composed
of the digestive ferments which every
stomach requires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jefferies says: "Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acidity
strengthen the stomach and insure per-
feet digestion. They keep a man in
fine condition" Signed, James j. JEFF
ferries, champion of the world.
The gallant fighter, Sharkey, says:
"Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating. They rest the
stomach and restore it to a healthful
condition I heartily recommend them. p"
Signed, Thos. j. Sharkey.
The advantage Of the daily use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is that
they keep people we'll and ward off
sickness and are equally valuable to
well persons as to the dyspeptics. An
other advantage is that these tablets
contain no cathartics, or poisons of any
character, but simply digestive fer
ments which are found in every healthy
stomach, and when digestion is imper-
feet it is because the stomach lacks
some of these elements. and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic. but a
perfectly safe and efficient digestive
and the demand for them is greater
than the sale of all other so-called
dyspepsia cures combined. No remedy
could possibly reach such a place in
public esteem except as result of pos
tive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by all
druggists at so cents, and the best
habit you can possibly form is to take
Stuart Tablet after each meal. They
make weak stomachs strong and keep
strong stomachs vigorous.

ing for it at about the rate of 16 to 1.
But it wasn't a case of free silver by
any means. 1t was the most expensive
money 1 ever got hold of. Finding the
venture a losing one, we took lessons
from the 'greasers' and bought from
them $50 common goats.
There is nothing but sagebrush and
cactus out there for those animals to
feed on, but no man ever saw a dead
goat, unless he had come to some vio-
lent end. They live and thrive where
nearly every other living thing starves
to death.
I'VE started out with $50 goats, de-
irving our profits from the sale of the
hides. In 1892, we decided to mix them
with Angora goats. After two years
the cross disappears and you get a
perfect Angora goat. 1t is valuable
thing to have. The long hair is sold to
the manufacturers of plush for furni-
ture, sleeping cars and such things
The hair next to the skin can be made
up into valuable shawls. The meat of
the kids is delightful when fresh and
is sent in it's canned shape to Cuba
the Philippines, other parts of the
United States. TO China and to many
other foreign countries as canned
lamb.
$50 rich is goats milk that one tea
spoonful of it is equal to three table
spoonfuls of the purest cream. But
the best part about the milk is that 1t
is a deadly foe to tubercula, and con-
sulnptives who drink it are often cured
of the disease. We are planning to
condense the milk and sell it for med-
cinal as well as family use. II there
is any other dumb animal with more
valuable qualities than the goat, then
i don't know it.
mo stables have to be provided for
the keeping and six ranchers are suf-
ficient for herding up those we want
to sell. Once in while the greasers
and Indians get away with a few, but
where you've got some scrappy ranch-
ers they are not likely to repeat the
performance often.
LAS a rule, now we sell the goats on
the hoof. In order to do so we have to
drive them into Tucson. And tough
job it is. or course, horses are not
much good then, as it i, so hard to get
provender and water, but there is
species OF bronco which the natives
call loco polka which is as hardy as n
goat. The loco polka is the craziest
thing between Arizona and the next
hottest country. AS long as the notion
doesn't strike 'em they're all right, but
if ever they make up their minds to
stop nothing on earth can start 'em.
Whenever one goes, the rest goes. A
stampeding loco polka might go
through town where a score of his
kind are hitched and every blessed one
of them would break loose in some
way and go galloping after him. They
run till they get good and ready to
stop. If you happen to hang on that
long YOU can turn your loco polka
around and the rest will follow
I'VE use the loco pokas for packing
the kid meat to Tucson, and, barring
this one accomplishment, they are all
right "

THE MONEY FOUND.
The Scholar, Who Took Peucker
Girls Money, Confesses.

The money which was stolen from
Lillian Peuckert, the scholar in Miss
kilhullen's room in the High school,
was located yesterday forenoon and the
one who committed the theft was dis
covered
The discovery was made through
clever work on the part of Constable
Henry Pierce, who investigated the
case. The girl on whom suspicion fell
was called into Superintendent Garr's
office, where she broke down, when
questioned and admitted her guilt. Be-
coming conscience stricken, she threw
the money into an isolated spot in the
cellar, where it was afterward located
by the constable. The full amount. stin
in the envelope, was returned to the
overjoyed Peuckert girl.
What punishment. if any, will be vis-
tied on the guilty pupil has not been
determined.
