PETERSON IS MADE RECEIVER.
Kansas City Man to Take Charge of
lola Electric Line.

Grin ]. Peterson of Kansas City was
Tuesday night appointed receiver of the
lola Electric Railway company by
Judge Pollock, in response to the petit
ton filed by W. F. Baumhoff of st.
Louis, who holds fve-sixteenths of the
stock, and who claimed that he was not
being made fully acquainted with all
the affairs of the organization.
Personal difficulties arose between
President George v Crouch and Mr..
Baumhoff which further made the re-
Iatfons anything but pleasant Some
time ago the books of the company
were brought into court and Judge
Pollock pronounced them all right But
for the sake of untangling the other
troubles he appointed Mr.. Peterson to
take charge of the concern

MUST AVOID RACES.
Clerks Cannot visit Tracks and Hold
Their Jobs.

New York. June 29-Some of the big
life insurance companies and several of
the largest stores in the city have be-
gun a war on race track gamblin
among their employees.
One company has issued a circular
notifying its clerks that even their
presence at a race course will be
counted sufficient cause for dismissal.
In a large department store betting
was found to be rife among young
clerks and even cash girls. Their me-
dunn of gambling was learned to be a
handbook maker who visited the store
daily, taking wagers as low as ten
cents.

CARAVAN ROAD 5000 YEARS.
Scenes Along One Of the Most Ancien
Highways in the World.

The road from HONS to Hame runs
almost due north. a straight white line
cutting across the green fields. 1t is
one of the oldest routes in the world.
Caravans have been passing along it
for at least 5000 years. just as we saw
them-long strings Of slow moving
camels with their bright colored bags
of wheat.
One could almost imagine that Pha-
raoh was again calling down the corn
the seven years of famine. But even
here the old things are passing. Just
beyond the long line of camels was a
longer lire of fellah women. their
dirty blue robes killed above their
knees. carrying upon their shoulders
baskets of earth and stone for the
roadbed of the new French railway.
The carriage road is French, too and a
Very good road il is. Some men were
repairing 1t with a most ingenious
roller. 1t was a great round stone,
drawn by two oxen. and having its
axle prolonged by a tWenty-foot pole.
at the end of which a bare-legged Arab
was fastened to balance the whole af-
fair If the stone had toppled over the
picture of the Arab dangling at the
top Of the slender flagstaff would have
been worth watching
All along the ride we were reminded
of the past. 1t is a fertile soil, but the
very wheat fields are different from,
ours. Only a few yards in width, they
are often to tremendous length. / hes
it;te to commit myself to figures but
ii is certain that the thin green fields
would stretch away in the distance un>
I'll lost over some little elevation Al
one place the road was cut through a
hill soneycOmbed with rock tombs,
which the hal said were Jewish. Every
now and then we passed n tell or great
hemisperical mound. built up of the
rubbish of a dozen of Il dozen ruined
towns, for even as late as Roman times
this was a well-cultivated and popu-
lOus country. There is now no lumber
available for building purposes. and in
number of villages the houses are all
built with cOnical roofs of stone.
Where the rock happens to be of a red
dish tinge the houses remind one OF
nothing so much as a collection of In
dian wigwams; where the stone is
white. as at Tell ct Biseh. it glitters
and sparkles like fairy city out of

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself Of Serious Stomach
Trouble, by Getting Down to First
Principles.

A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities. by too close
attention to business. too little exercise
and too many club dinners. finally be-
gan to pay natures tax. levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble: the
failure of his digestion brought about a
nervous irritablity. making it impos-
sible to apply himself to his daily BUSH
ness, and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words he says: 81 con-
suited one physician after another and
each ore seemed to understand my
case. but all the same they each failed
to bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor For two
years ! went from pillar to post. from
one sanitarium to another. I gave up
smoking. l quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two Of beer,
but without any marked improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
well-known proprietary medicine.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. and I have
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedy. but never took
airy stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe a fifty-cent patent medi-
cine would touch my case.
ITO make long story short finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
| three tablets after each meal, and oc-
casionally a tablet between meals,
when I felt any feeling Of nausea or
| discomfort.
81 was surprised at the end Of the
ment in my appetite and general
health. and before the two packages
| were gone I was certain that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets were going to cure
completely. and they did not disappoint
| me. 1 can eat and sleep and enjoy my
| coffee and cigar. and no one would
suppose I had ever known the horrors
of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
| for informa ton as to what the tablets
contained. and they replied that the
| principal ingredients were aseptic pep
sin government tesO. malt diastase
and other natural digestives, which
digest food regardless Of the condition
| Of the stomach"
| The root of the matter Is this. the d.
| eestive elements contained in Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
give the overworked stomach a chance
! to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food; stimuiants
and nerve tOnics never give real
strength. they give fictitious
strength. invariably followed by reac-
tion. Every drop of blood. every nerve

GOODNESS OF PACIFIC COAST.
1t is Produced by Current from Ant
arctic Ocean.

A great scientific mystery of the Pa
cific ocean has just been solved. at
least theoretically. The experimental
verificatiOn will come later, or perhaps
the new theory will be accepted or re-
jected without other test than that of a
thorough discussion of the facts on
which it rests. it'
The mystery in question relates to
the origin of the immense current of
cool water which sweeps southwark
along our Pacific coast from Alaska to
Southern CALIFORNIA;. the antithesiS in
relative temperature and in direction
of the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic
coast. but mightier than the latter in
volume, and modifying the land eli
mates all along it's course to greater
extent, possibly. than. any other known
ocean current. In short, this current
is one of the greatest agents employed
by nature in producing the famous eli
mate Of the Pacific coast. The mag
nificent forests of Washington and
Oregon and the rich orchards and vine-
yards of California owe their exist
vast river in the sea, which flows
its GOODNESS the arid heats of summer
rolling in vast nantes of fog which
distribute moisture like the gentlest
rain, and mitigating the severity of the
winter months with its equaliZing in
fluence, because, while the average
temperature of the water is much be-
low that of the adjoining land In the
summer it is considerably above it in
winter.
Nor is this all. Turning westward
after skirting the shores of California,
the great current spreads out over the
center of the Pacific. touching the Ha-
waiian Islands. where again it's genial
influence is benefcently felt. with the
result that those islands enjoy a more
uniformly agreeable and salubrious eli
mate than any other land lying in a
similar latitude.
Now, in a general way. and without
much critical examination. geographers
and Oceanographers have hitherto as
sumed that this Pacific current was an
oTshOOt of. or a compliment to. the
nOrthward flowing Gulf Stream of ia
pan, the KurO SfwO. This Rev. S. f..
Bishop. widely known for his re-
searches Oh similar subjects. disputes;
and he sets forth the very interesting
and surprising proposition that the
great current begins near the South
Pole, from which 1t follows that all the
favored regions mentioned above owe
their felicitiOus climes to the transmit

which border the Antarctic continent.
