MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN CHICAGO.

stole march his Democratic rival by announcing
first that he in favor of bill before the Hi
nois Legislature, the object of which empower Chi

tiles corporations. Mr.. Stewart declared himself two
hours before Mr. Harrison put his pronunciamento be-
fore the people.
The fact is impressive in that it shows what ire
mendous gains the supporters of the municipal owner
ship theory have made in the city by Lake Michigan. A
few years ago the idea held be- like purity in pol

COST OF MUNICIPAL GAS PLANT.

When the city of St. Paul desires information to
the cost of adequate gas plant it will cali other wit
nesses than the president of the ST. Paul Gas company
He will be competent witness, but there will be
a desire to have further evidence the subject.
Mr. Lahrop says it would cost 100000 to install
plant. Granting, for the sake of argument, that
it would, it would still be a good investment for St.
Paul by investing that cheaper gas could be
cured for the people and for lighting purposes.
Five per cent interest 100000 would be but $780,
ooo and St Paul city bonds could be fOated carrying
rate Of interest considerably below that figure.
he Glob has idea that the earnings of the gas
company at present considerably in of per
cent investment of $6oooooo; it also has idea
that the gas companys plant does represent in
vestment of $4,000, 900.
ST. Paul should make the best bargain possible for
gas supply for the fifteen twenty years. The
city should investigate tie subject thoroughly 1t should
find out for the people what it would to nta a
plant whether rival company would make better offer
for franchsein short the whole subject should be gone
into with the fulness and minuteness a corporation
would employ in making contract involving an equal
amount of money and equally important service.
St Paul IS entitled to the best for the least money.

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

The remedy is not heralded as a Won
derful discovery nor yet a secret pat
ent medicine, neither is it claimed to
cure anything except dyspepsia, indi-
gestion 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 te5t) gold
en- seal and diastase. The tablets are
sold by druggists under the name OF
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Many in
teresting experiments to test the d.
gestive power of Stuart's Tablets show
that one grain of the active principle
contained In them is sufficient to thor
oughly 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 1t 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, q remedy
and now the most widely known of any
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured entire
ly upon it's merits as a digestive pure
and simple because there can be no
stomach trouble if the food is prompt
ly diges ted.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting It
completely. so that 1t 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 1t 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 regu-
lar use of enc or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their meri. bet
ter than any other argument.
