THE DULUTH-GALvEsToN LINE.

Dallas. Tex, Nov 2-Col. E. D. Steger
of Bonham, who is behind the projected
railroad to be built from Duluth, Mimi,
to Galveston, has been in the, CITY in con-
ference with Col John N. Simpson, the
financial manager of the enterprise.
Colonel Steger was seen by a Times
Herald reporter and stated that the re-

mention at this time Just what cities the
road will touch. He said:
.sOf course the towns that offer liberal
bonuses will be given preferences over
those that do not care to interest them
selves in securing the road. 1t may be
necessary to build a mile or so out of the
way but we~intend building an air line
from Red river to the gulf, and practl-
cally an air line all the way thDugh from
Duluth. The road is a certainty, as every

A Houston, Tex. dispatch says:
A French syndicate with the Pierpont
Morgan of the continent is behind the en-
terprise. 1t is in brief the construction OF
the first transcontinental railway system
across the American continent north and

The northern terminal will be Duluth

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 rritability, making 1t 1mpos-
sible to apply himself to his daily busl-
ness, and finally deSanging the kidneys
and heart
In his own words he says: Il con-
suited one physician after another and
each one 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 1 went from pillar to post, from
one sanitarium to another, gave up
smoking, I 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
q well-knOwn proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and L had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedoy, but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe a fifty-cent patent medi-
cine would touch my case.
ITO make long story short 1 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 1 felt any feeling of nausea OF
discomfort.
I was surprised at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in M appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
/ was certain that Stuarts Dyspepsia

and they did not disappoint me. l can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and

for information as to what the tablets
contained, and they replied that the
principal ingredients were aSeptic pep
