This company operates all the ell
ectric cars In and about Pittsburg
and employs over 5000 men. This
summer 1t Is opening new lines and
putting on additional cars, and
there IS need for several hundred
more men. Many of the companys
present employees come from the
country here about. They have
given such general satisfaction that
more of the same kind are wanted.
Hence the call here. AS rule the
best motormen and conductors

life of neatly uniformed car man

farm and country.
The pay Is good-22cents per
hour. This Is for beginners or one
year men. After that the rate runs
up to Is cents per hour. 10 to II
hours In a days work. No previous

Is owned by the Philadelphia COM
pauy, which controls all the
Natural and illuminating gas and
electric lighting business of Pitts
burg, Allegheny, and vicinity. Ad.
vancement of good men who attend
to their business Is rapid, and many
of the officials have risen from the
ranks to positions of importance.
The policy of the company Is to
treat its men we'll. In addition to
paying Its men about the highest
wages In the country for that kind
of work the company each year
gives Its men an outing which the
officers attend. The feature OF
this outing Is a match game OF base

THANKSGIVING TRAGEDY.
. Double Barrel Shot Gun Is Dis
charged While in the Hands of a
Little Girl and Her Sister Killed.

Thanksgiving was a sad day for the
family of Mr.. Sam Lancaster. who
takes care of the draw on the Neuse
bridge. One Of the most horrible ac-
!cidents happened in his home at half
past eight, yesterday morning that
has occurred here for many years. 1t
was one Of those lamentable instances
lof carelessness in which almost any
one is apt to be guilty, but which
rarely results as this did.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Lancaster
was preparing to take a hunting trip
and had loaded his double barrelled
shot gun with shells containing No.
2 shot, a large sized ammunition used
for shooting ducks and geese.
Seeing a number of ducks on the
water above the bridge he went out
to shoot some of them, but failed
to kill any. He returned to his house,
which is on the bridge hear the draw,
land put his gun in the corner of the
room. He left the house then to go
to get some oil for his bicycle
During his absence Lotsie, the 13-
lyear-old child, took up the gun. not
knowing it was loaded, ard playing
with 1t, saying, Look out, I am go
ling to shoot" She did not intend to
fire the gun, however, and it is ques-
toned whether she really pulled the
trigger with her finger or not: some
think that as she held the gun hy her
Islde the swinging motion of the dress
may have caused She gun to go off.
She had no more than uttered the
warning before the gun was discharg-
ed and her little sister, Manila, 5
years old, received the contents of at
least n of the barrels in her head.
THE entire left side Of the head was
blown off and the little girls brains
and blood were scattered all over the.
room. h was standing at her moth
er's knee playing with a child in the
mothers lap, n how the infant and
mother escaped being shot is a cause
of much wonder The child LIVED
about two hours after the accident.
Standing a short distance away
was another sister, Mona, aged s
years, who received numerous shot in
her right shoulder and arm. h
was painfully wounded, but it is not
thought thai her injuries are serious.
yet the doctor says that he can not
determine how far the shot pene-
trated her body. Many of the shot
were extracted by the doctor. Dr..
IStreet rendered surgical assistance.
Doctors Jones and Duffy were also
sent for.
The horrible affair has prOstrated
the mother and her condition IS most
pitiable. The father also is almost
insane with grief and is said to blame
himself for leaving the gun where it
could be reached by the children.
Relatives. friends and n~eighbOrS
went to the rouse n rendered Kind
ly assistance TO the stricken house

THE ACTUALLY DO THE WORK
FOOD Eeaten is Worthless Unless Di-
gested - Some Stomaches Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach
which. from the nature of the food
or the condition of the stomach. is
not digested, is worse than no food
at all. This is a true statement as
far as it goes and a great many dys-
peptics go only this far with their
reasoning. They argue with them
selves hat because their stomachs
do not do the work given them, they
must be given less work: in other
words they must be starved. 1t would
be just as sensible for Il bushes man
who is unable to dc. all his own
work 20 cut down his business to his
own capacity as it is for a man to
starve himself to relieve his stomach.
The sensible business mar employs
help and goes rwa with his bus
mess. Likewise the sensible dys-
peptic will employ help for his stom-
ach and give his body proper nour-
ishment.

They relieve weak and overburdened

tive fluids and secretions of the
stomach and they simply take up the

the same as a good, strong, healthy
stomach would do il.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not
cause any Immature: or violent "
turbance in the stomach or bowels.
They themselves digest the food and
supply the system with all the nOur-
ishment contained in what is eaten
and carry out Natures plans for the
"ustenanc and maintenance of the
body.
How much more sensible in this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. BY
this means body and brain get all
the good. nutritious food they need

and equipped to carry on his work
and perform his duties. He could
