NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Of more
than ordinary Importance and interest
Is the conference on immigrant trai-
&c begun here today by the Western
Passenger association and the Trunk
Line Passenger committee. That final
settlement will be reached at the con-
ference is hardly expected, owing to
the complications involved.
The controversy is the most serious
that has arisen in some years to dis
turb railroad rates and the situation
has now reached that point where it
appears certain that the western pas
senger agents must consent to the ne
gotiation of. a new deal or see the har-
monious relations of several years
standing completely broken.
When the immigrant bureau was es-
tahlished, the eastern and western lines
did not get along very happily with

ton which demonstrated that the On
tario q Western was not receiving al
together fair treatment from the West
ern Passenger association. For this
reason the agreement to exchange in
formation was suspended by the Trunk
line committee.
Months ago the Rock Island with
drew from the immigrant bureau on
its California business, because its de-
mand for greater allotment was de-
MED and it has ever since remained
firm in its refusal to return unless its
asserted rights received recognition.
There is reason to believe that the
Trunk line committee wishes to reach
better understanding. Failing this
there may possibly be an entire abro,

western and eastern roads and a restor-

Is YOuR STOMACH ON A sTRIKE7
There Is Nothing to Prevent You En-
ploying Substitute to Do
It's Work.

There is such thing as forbear-
ance ceasing to be virtue even IN
the case of ones stomach. There is no
question but that some stomachs will
stand great deal more wear and tear
and abuse than others, but they all
have their limit and when that limit
is reached the stomach must be reck-
oned with as sure as fate. The best
way and really the only effective way
TO treat your stomach when it rebels
Is to employ a substitute to do its
work. This will give the weakened
and worn out organ an opportunity to
regain its strength and health.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets relieve
the stomach of its work by taking up
the work and doing it just as one set
or shift of workmen relieves another.
They actually digest the food In just
the same manner and just the same
time as the digestive fluids Of sound
stomach do. In fact when dissolved
in the stomach, they are digestive flu
ids for they contain exactly the same
constituents and elements as the gastric
Juice and other digestive fluids of the
stomach. No matter what the condi.
tion Of the stomach is, their work is
just the same. They work in their
own natural way without regard &c
surrounding conditions.
The stomach being thus relieved by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restor
ed by nature and the rest of the hui
man body does not suffer in the Least
by reason Of its failure to perform
Its work.

one another. The latter insisted on
routing passengers from New York TO
destination. and the latter contended
that this was tantamount to unsurping
their province and function. Follow
ing acrimonious exchanges from time
to time, an agreement was made which
gave the Trunk line committee roads
the right to route immigrants from
New York to Chicago. From there on
the control was vested in the western
association. 1t was further agreed
that each should give the other infor-
nation gained as to the routing of
this class of business by outside
agents,

County Commissioner Dean yester-

"The people of the district want a
