Cripple Greek Road Will Be Finan-
clalIy Reorganized.

New York, Oct ga committee of
bondholders in the Denver & South
western Railroad company has issued a
plan looking to the reorganization OF
the cOmpany's funded debt IN order to
arrange for the prompt payment of the
seni-annual interest on its general
mortgage per cent bonds, which fail
due December 1.
The company was formed in Decem-
Der, 1899, with $2,000000 of preferred
stock, SO, 600. 600 common stock ana mort
gage per cent bonds to the amount of
S. 600, 900. For the first two years it
held every outlet from the Cripple Creek
gold camp and was able to pay interest
on its bonds as well as dividends on
both classes of stock. but the consuruc-
ton of the Short Line from Colorado
Springs to Cripple Creek brought about
such sharp competition that the earn
ings of the Denver & Southwestern were
reduced.
The committee proposes that the COM
pany shall issue in lieu of the present
bonds SO, O00, 900 of the new bonds to bear
per cent interest for one year and
thereafter, and s.. 425, 900 of cumulative
income bonds entitled to 5 per cent in
terest these latter bonds to be given the
right to name a majority of the BOARD
of directors until such time as all in
terest- due on the income bonds shall
have been paid and at any time there
after when there may be default in
the interest. The present stock or the
company is not to be disturbed and its
consent to the plan of reorganization
will have to be given before it can be-
come effective

THEY WANT HIS MONEY
Claim of a Reno County Stock
man Behind the Bars.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. 2S.-Ben Stock
man, who was brought to the county
Jail from Minnesota township, says that
his parents wish to get him in the in
sane asylum to get his money. He had
accumulated considerable property in
past few years, he says, and because of
differences in other ways and on ac-
count of a difference in religious beliefs,
they wish to get him locked up.
He says that his people are German
Catholics and that they are opposed to
his marrying out Of the church. He has
kept company with q young lady at diff
ferent times who is not supposed to be
a member of the same church to which
his family belong and he says that this
is partly the reason for the trouble
which his people have started
His father, Harmon Stockman, is a
wealthy man, having several fine farms
in this county, although living in An
dale, Sedgwick county, himself. Ben
leased a half section of land of his
father in Minnesota township, Reno
county, last March and the lease is for
three years.
Last Sunday Ben had some trouble
with his brother at the home of the lat
ter and the row eliminated in fight
in which Ben had an eye BACKED and
the brother was handed few bruises
to remind him of the trouble. The
charge of disturbing the peace was
brought against Ben and he is held
awaiting trial. -ssasE

ONLY A SUGGESTION 9
But 1t Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become fleshy and plump
it can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be al
luminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak, and cereals: in other
words the kinds of food that make flesh
are the foods which form the greater
part of our daily bills of fare
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork, does
not properly digest and assimilate it,
which is the reason so many people re-
main thin and under weight; the diges-
tive organs do not completely digest the
food forming beefSteak and eggs and
similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics although
they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their pred
JUDGES aside and make regular prac-
tice of taking, after each meal one or
two of StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these tablets contain
the natural peptones and diastase which
every weak stomach lacks, and by sup
plying this want the stomach is soon
enabled to reach its natural tone and
vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest ev-
cry form of flesh forming food, meat,
eggs. bread and potatoes, and this is the
reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspep-
tic men, women and children
Invalids and children. even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong. irritating
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful in
gredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
successful and most widely known of
any remedy for stomach troubles be-
cause it is the most reasonable and sci
entific of modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada as well as in Great Britain, at
50 cents for complete treatment
Nothing further is required to cure
any stomach troubleaor to make thin,
nervous dyspeptic people. strong. plump
and well.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Will the Santa Fe Use Electric
Motive Power
Famous Kite-Shaped Track May
Be Used as Interurban.
THE STORY is DENIED.
President Ripley Says He Won't
Fight Huntington.
Eastern Capitalists May Manage
the Trolley Line.

Los Angeles, Oct 2s.-The Express
says: President e. P. Ripley's reported
plan to transform the Santa FEES kite
shaped interurban lines into an electric
railway system is ridiculed in circles
that profess to know actual conditions
from the inside. At the headquarters
of the Huntington system the reported
story from Chicago that the Santa Fe
has prepared to become a competitor
for the electric railway traffic in south
ern California is secuted. 1t is insisted
that in order to become a factor in the
Huntington business the Santa Fe must
obtain franchises in the several cities
and towns through which the present
Eteam lines operate. The company in
few places is in the heart of the several
communities that are tapped by it's ex-
listing lines, and in Los Angeles espe-
cially there is no outlet through the
cit--.
Franchises will have to be acquired
Tor the purpose and the outlay will
cost large sum. The Santa Fse like
other of the large railway systems, is
retrenching instead of entering upon
new enterprises. and local improve
mentS that are a necessity have been
indefinitely postponed.
Besides, it is recalled when President
Ripley was in Los Angeles last year he
declared the Santa Fe desires to trans
act the business of a steam road, and he
Is convinced electric lines aid in the de-
velopment of through traffic. He re-
marked at the time the company of
which he is executive head had no de-
sire to hamper Henry F. Huntington
nor his associates.
The above denial is called forth by
the publication in the Los Angeles
Herald of a story that such a step was
contemplated. and of which the follow
ing paragraph is a part:
ITO electric the far-famed kite
shaped track. That is what corpora
ton composed of eastern capitalists
and headed by the Santa Fe Railway
company, is planning,if reports received
in this city yesterday from Chicago are
well founded For a. big railroad like
the Santa Fe to abandon steam for
electricity would be almost suicidal,
railroad men say but if the company
could become the moving spirit in an
electric railway corporation to run
trolley cars on certain of it's local lines
such a step, officials say. would be in
the right direction. That. it is reported,
is just what the Santa Fe is about to
undertake.

MEDICAL ADVICE FOR OLD

Everybody writes to Dr. Hartman
Tor medical advice. Grandmothers write
when they meet some difficulty that
the family physician cannot overcome.
Mothers write when something happens
in the household that battles their skill.
and about which the doctor does not
seem quite clear. Even the children
write to Dr.. Hartman. In our files are
many curious letters from the little
folks, asking advice and seeking coun-
sci of the great discoverer of Peruna,

and pamphlets on catarrhal diseases
These letters are carefully answered
by confidential clerks and assistant
physicians. Of course. there are so
many of them that it would not be
possible for DR.. Hartman to see them
all, but whenever such letter comes it
receives careful attention, and an an
swer that is sometimes vastly more
valuable than many visits from the

1t is a civil statute only, and the
remedy for violation is a suit for dam

sixteen years. and. 50 far as 1 am able
to find. it has never been once invoked

have been brought, but this old express

STABBED A PRINCE.
AsSaSsins Attack Governor Gen.
eral of Caucasia.

Tif1is, Russian Trans-Caucasia, Oct.
2S.-Prince Galitzin, governor general of
Caucasia, had a narrow escape from
assassination today on the outskirts of
the town. Three natives stabbed the
governor general and fled but were sub
sequently shot down by Cossacks.
Prince Galitzin was driving with his
wife when the assassins rushed upon the
carriage, daggers in hand. Two seized
the governor general and attempted to
drag him from the vehicle, While the
third man inflicted two ugly wounds on
the princes head and a third cut on the
hand.
A Cossack. who was in attendance
upon the prince. threw himself upon the
assailants. While a hand to hand fight
was in progress. the carriage was driven
off at a gallop. Ultimately, the assail-
ants fled, followed by a mounted guard
of Cossacks who had hurried to the
scene.
The Cossacks chased the fugitives
through the brush firing constantly with
their rifles They Killed one man In
stantly. The other two were shot down
and died soon afterward.
After his injuries had been dressed
Prince Galitzin attended a reception
given by the citizens of Tif1is.
The outrage has produced great indig-
nation, the governor general having be-
come popular on account of his interest
in the welfare of the Inhabitants.
Owing to the excitement, performances
at the theaters were suspended. There
is little doubt that the thickness of the
cap worn by the prince saved his life.
Dispatches from Trans-Caucasia with
in the last month show considerable IN
rest at Tif1is, owing to the transfer of
the Armenian church property to the
Russian government under the decree
of June % Demonstrations have been
reported at various points In which
quite a number of lives were lost. and
the Armenian church authorities are
said to have threatened to transfer the
headquarters of the Armenian Catholic
church to another country.
Prince Galitzin. who was sent to his
present post a year ago last April, was
charged with having recommended the
transfer of the church property ana sew
eral times his life has been threatened.
