NEW RAILROAD TALKED.
A Limo From St. Paul to Des Moines
Proiected

TtOJSSl0Ss
Alton, Dec. 5.--Plans are nearing ma
turity for a big trunk line from Min
neapolis thru Des Moines, st. Joseph.
and Kansas City to the gulf, according
to Vice President Wallace Hubbard,
or the st. Joseph, Albany & Des Moin-
es, who was In Alton, Saturday, max
ing arrangements for the right of way
thru Union county for his new ROAD.
The details of the plan will not be
given to the public until December TO-
when meeting of the capitalists IN
terested will be held in New York, but
Mr.. Hubbard 6intimated that the Des
Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern, which
is being extended to Mason City, Will
be made part of the new system.
This line will be constructed into Min
neapolis, which will be the northern
terminal of what is designed to be
great southern trunk line.
Between Des Moines and st. Joseph
the right of way Of Mr.. Hubbard's road
the st. Joseph, Albany & Des Moines,
Will be used. and from st. Joseph to
Kansas City, control will be secured OF
All electric line in process of building.
The plans from the latter point south
have not been fully developed, but 1t Is
probable that the Kansas City South
ern will either be purchased or an en-
tirely new road constructed.
The funds back Of the new enter
prise are said to be ample as 1t is
understood George Gould and the Wa
bash will supply the necessary financial
support. 1t is hoped that a year from
next spring the entire line from Min
neapolis to a gulf sea port will be IN
operation.

Starved TO peath.

Our text today is the story Of the NIL
ser who taught his ais to live on
straw, Of which he gavn him smaller
portion every day.
Just as the miser had got him SO
trained as to eat one straw a day -
the poor ass died.
He is an ass who starves hfmseh
to death-as thousands are doing. mis-
led by foolish MISUNDERSTANDING their
stomachs have become too weak, thru
neglect or disease, to dc the work which
nature has provided fol their stomachs
to do.
Because the engine IL out Of gear, do
Because the engine Is out OF gear.
would you consign 1t tt the junk heap!
Why, no! Mend 1T!
Commit slow suicid, because your
digestive organs leak!
Certainly not! TAX. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
One thing is as sure as shooting.
You can never get new stomach.
You must mend 1t, OF 1t will lead you
a miserable existence.
The only way to me nd it Is to take
stuart's Dyspepsia Ia Diets.
This has been pract .cally and scien-
tifcally demonstrated by the many
thousands whom Stu arts Dyspepsia
Tablets have positiv ely cured. after
every other treatment of medicine,
mineral waters, pills, and slow, suicid-
al starvation had failed.
These methods are LII unscientiflc -
therefore false.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
scientific-therefore tue and success
full.
Having cured SO n any thousands
many of whom doubtless have suffer-
ed more than you do--do we claim too
much when we say that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets will surely do good to
you?
Especially when we make 1t plain
that no promise is made to cure more
than one disease-Dyspepsia.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
positiye cure for Just this one dis
ease.
They are a scientific combination
Of ingredients which search out the
weak spots in all the digestive organs
and make them strong and well.
They have an immediate dlgestiVe
action on undigestel food. and thus,
while curing weak organs, they at the
same time help then to do their work
They thus stand f,r all that Is good
in the medical trea tment of Dyspep-
STA, and for nothing that Is bad.
They are not q fad, but fact
They are safe, pile asant, certain and
permanent, and can be taken by the
most delicate invalils without fear OF
harmful results.

DISCOVER NATURAL GAS
Valuable Find Reported From South
Boone County.

Valuable IIUO nOPVItoo SSNku
Boone County.
Special to Times-Republican.
Boone, Dec. 5.-Natural gas has been
discovered in Boone county, or rather q
new we'll has been found, for several
other gas wells have been reported dur
Ing recent years. This one seems to be
much stronger than any Of the others
and promises to furnish cheap light
for the southern part Of the county.
The gas was discovered on the farm
belonging to DR.. Williams. in the south
part of Marcy township. ]. II. Hurst
is living on the farm and was having
a we'll drilled, Messrs Frank Tolliver
and w. II. Phipps doing tho work. A.
few days ago they were at work and
had just gone thru tho blue clay
into the sea Of mud at the depth Of
about sixty feet. When they removed
the anger they noticed an unusual
rumbling noise at the bottom OF the
we'll.
There were several men standing
around discussing the possibility OF
it being gas. Finally Mr.. Tolliver
struck a match to light his pipe, when
in an instant sheet OF fimae shot up
to height OF twenty feet and stood
there steady blaze. Before they
could get the machine away almost
all the woodwork was destroyed. They
tried every means to smother the fire
and put 1t out. but to no avail. and 1t
being SO close to the barn and gran
aries as to be dangerous. they were
obliged to I'LL in the we'll. An effort
will probably be made to secure the
gas and utilize 1t, as 1t is evidently
very strong vein.

which was created by the last leg1sla-
