TERURBAN is
THROWING DIRT
Work Commenced on the
Grading Yesterday.
COMPLY WITH CONTRACT
Road to be Built Under Any
Circumstances,

Dirt was broken on the much talked-of
in,erurDan route. Inc dust and the elods
were thrown yesterday morning on Ar
kansas avenue north Of Twenty-fourth
street BY the contractor, Arthur Sullivan
From this it begins 10 appear that the
line will be built from here 10 Valley
Center or at least lie concessions made
by ire county commissioners TO the In
terurban company win be held until the
requirements have been fulhlec- Il was
the understanding when the road was
given its privilege that the work on the
road should be commenced within three
months and that the entire work on the
road from here 20 Valley Center or the
north line OF the county. should be com-
yleted so far as track laying and grad
ing was concerned. within one year. This
is what the company IS evidently striv-
ing 10 do. 1t viii have to do this II IL
holds the right-of-way.
II is said that there are thirty teams
at work on the grading, but Mr. Ceyes
says that ne does not know how many
teams are working on the grade When
he was called upon ia the afternoon he
had very little 10 say regarding the mat
ter other than that h had understood
the men were worRing on the grading
and that the matter was in the hands of
the contractor SO far as the grading was
concerned.
there seems to be no doubt but that
the part Of The road mentioned Will be
built within the required time, and If
this IS done the rest Of the proposed line
can be built. This is the opinion Of men
v4.o have looked into the matter and
ave studied all the points.
II a construction company takes hold
OF the matter it not in the least injure
the city as the present company is not
L.rectIy interested in the city and the
change would make little difference eX-
cept in the contracts made with the city
and county.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as a
wonderful discovery nor yet a secret
patent medicine, neither is 1T claimed
to cure anything except dyspepsia, In
digestion and stomach troubles with
which nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is In the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges, contain
ing vegetable and fruit essences, pure
aseptic pepsin government test, gold
en- seal and diastase. The tablets are
sold by druggists under the name OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many in
teresting experiments to test the di-
gestive power of Stuart's tablets show
that one grain of the active principle
contained in them is sufficient to
thoroughly digest 5000 grains OF raw
meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and
inflame the intestines without having
any effect whatever in digesting food or
curing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover its normal vigor, as
no organ is so much abused and over
worked as the stomach.
This is the secret, If there Is any
secret, of the remarkable success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known of any
treatment for stomach weakness
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon its merits as digestive
pure ands simple because there can be
no stomach, trouble If the food is
promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting it
completely, so that it can be assimi-
lated into blood, nerve and tissue. They
cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour
stomach, gas and bloating after meals,
because they furnish the digestive
power which weak stomachs lack and
unless that lack is supplied it is use
less to attempt to cure by the use Of
'tonics," pills" and cathartics which
have absolutely no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regular
use of one or two of them after meals,
will demonstrate their merit better
! than any other arguments

HOW THEY WOULD END
STREET CAR STRIKE
Railway Company Ask for
Reeeivership.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 1.-THE
most important development in the
street strike today was the fling of a
petition in the district circuit court
for the appointment Of a receiver for
the street railway company on the
grounds of gross mismanagement by
the officers. Charles A. Favrot and L..
A. LivaudaiS, the stockholders and
bondholders, who filed the application,
allege that the officers have neglected
their duty and made no effort to run
cars, causing a loss to the company
Of many thousand dollars a day, and
thus jeopardizing the payment of it's
interest on bonds. Judge St Paul fixed
the hearing for next Tuesday. The
railway officials to their interests, in
asmuch as it will bring the controversy
to head.
It was announced by the railway
officials that the filing of the applica-
ton for a receivership would prevent
them, under the advice of their attor-
neys, from participating in any more
conferences looking to a settlement.
Nevertheless, several communications
passed between the attorney Of the
company and the mayor during the
evening, and the companys lawyer was
in consultation with the mayor for an
hour. e
The failure of the Canal street mer-
chants to- effect any modus vivendt by
which the street car men could return
to work was disappointing to the peo-
pie, who have now had seven days of
walking and riding in uncomfortable
vehicles Tonight Mayor Capdeviele
has again taken the situation in hand
and is endeavoring to arrange a set
tlement on a basis of ten hours and 81
per day.

The great weight of scientific authority,
