DO NOT WEAR A LONG FACE.
II 10 Great Handicap In All Business
and Social Relations.


The man who looks as If he had lost
his last friend is in no danger OF being
crushed by the jam of new ones unless
he cheers up" People are not going
out OF their way nowadays to associate
with the man of mournful and melan-
eholy appearance. They are afraid he
will tell them his troubles and they
steer clear of him. as they all have
plenty of their own.
The most universal cause of the for
lorn and hopeless appearance today is
dyspepsia. 1t units man for every
duty of life and causes him to become
Respondent and gloomy and necessari-
" his looks do not belle his feelings.
He appears cast down and detected and
becomes a burden 10 himself and hui
manity in general.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are the
{dyspeptic's certain relies. They do the
work that his stomach is unable to do
and by relieving that organ of its bur-
dens permit 1t to regain Its health and
strength and again become active and
useful in its functions. They contain
ali the essential ingredients that enter
into the digestive fluids and secretions
Of the stomach and they actually take
UP the work and do 1t just as
healthy, sound stomach would.
BY this means a man can go right
ahead with his work and eat enough to
keep him In proper working condition.
His system is not deprived of its neces-
sary nourishment as. It is in the case
OF the starvation cure" or the employ
ment Of some of the first -class chick

ton. even II 1t were a good thing.
could not be continued long enough to
effect a cure: for a disordered and
worn-out stomach Is not going to be-
come strong and healthy in two or
three days.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act natu-
rally because they contain natural d.
gestives. The principal component
parts are aseptic pepsin. malt dias-
tase and other ingredients with like
properties to do the work regardless of
the condition Of the stomach. There
Is no unnatural or violent disturbance
Of the digestive organs as the result
of their action. In fact, the existence
OF the stomach Is entirely forgotten as
soon as they have had time to begin
their operations. They also possess
very curative and healing properties
md assist the stomach in getting well,
while relieving 1t OF It's work. They
perform the duties of both nurse and
physician.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents box
and there Is very little, danger Of any
druggist trying to sell you some thing
else in Its place that is '.just as good"
They are so we'll established and have
done so much good in the world that
their name has become household
word: so the usual warning, Accept
no substitute" Is unnecessary in the
case OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Dec. 1.-Fire broke out
in the Wilcox building on Third avenue
occupied by Lyman Bros, wholesale
milliners, shortly before Z o'clock last
night and when 1t was extinguished,
at about IL o'clock, practically the
whole interior of the building had been
burned, including the millinery stock
of Lyman Bros, the value of which
is estimated at $4,000. There was
about s35.oo0 possibly $4,000 of in
was erected two years ago. The in
surance on it was $4,000.
The fire was discovered by PATROL
man William Tobin. who was going
towards the police station to make his
Z o'clock report when he saw a glare at
the rear end of the building followed al
most directly after by what seemed to
be small explosion. He ran to box
six at the corner of Third avenue and
Second street and turned in the alarm.
When it became known how serious
vas Ullc III Z, d SSASl "a dldLlit was NuIh
ed In and the entire fire department OF
the city was quickly on the scene.
No one knows exactly how the fire
started. There are two theories. There
was lot OF slack coal in the base
ment, near the furnace which sup
plies the steam for heating the building.
This coal was near the foot of the
elevator shaft and one theory is that
1t ignited and that the flames crept
up the freight elevator shaft Another
theory Is that the dynamo which runs
the elevators, which had been used
great deal yesterday. had in some
way become defective or overheatei.
But both these theories are merely con-
lectures.
It was difficult fire to fight. The
building was literally crammed with
inflammable material, straw hats and
flowers and trimmings, every table AMI
case on all three floors being literally
crammed. The floors were all open
from the front OF the building back TO
the alley, 120 feet. On the two upper
floors there were no partitions and over
the wide area. 12ox60 feet the infiam-
mable materials burned with a fury
that could not be checked by the water
poured upon them. All of the ceilings
were of wood. with the exception of I
small area of the first ceiling in1me-
diately over the office. which was Of
steel. The ceiling and parts of the
roof fell to the upper floor and then
the flames burned thru this floor and
burning material began to fall to the
second floor, to complete the work Of
destruction begun there when the fre
first started.

Waterloo, Dec. 11.-So far as the city
council, the board Of trade and the
of the Chicago 81 Northwestern railway
to Waterloo from the direction Of An
amosa and to extend westward from
the city is assured. A special session Of
the city council last evening passed
ordinance No. 4S5, granting to the Mid
land Railway Construction company
the right to enter the city on the streets
from certain quarters. The ordinance
which appears In full in another column
excerpts certain streets and sections OF
the city over which the railway is not
privileged to run. but gives them big
scope of territory in which to make its
entry and get near to Waterloo's bust
ness district.
Route Of the Line.
The proposed line will open up a
vast new territory to Waterloo trade.
touching at least nine towns which nov
have no railway connections and whose
trade has heretofore been unknown
facturers.
DESTINATION UNKNOWN.
Passing thru Waterloo the new road
Will pursue a westward course to con-
meet with the Chicago & Northwestern
at some point directly west or north
west OF this city. The route has not
been definitely decided upon or an
rouncsd, but will take in some of the
new territory and inland towns to the
westward as 1t does TO the southeast.
ESTABLISH NEW TOWNS.
Between this city and Anamosa are
a. present only six towns on the new
'ine. II is thought that at least thrse
other stations will be started on this
line, which Is trifie more than sew
enty miles in length. Between Anamo-
81 and Prairieburg Is plenty OF terri
tory for a station, also between Cog
son and Monti. Between Quasqueton
and Jubilee is the longest stretch OF
territory. there being line eighteen
miles of road between these places.
WILL ASK FOR TAX.
1t is understood the new road Will
ask that the citizens of Black Hawk
vote them a 8 per cent tax to assist
them in building the new line.
So far as Waterloo is concerned the
tax will no doubt be forthcoming by
large majority, and there Is no ques-
ton that the residents of the southeast
portion of the county would also carry
he proposition unanimously. The road
Will undoubtedly pass thru Fox, Poy-
ner.. Cedar, East Waterloo, Waterloo |
and probably Cedar Falls township
altho the western outlet Is yet un-
known.
