FLETCHER ARGUES IN FAVOR OF
IMPROVEMENTS UNDER WAY
IN THE MISSISSIPPI.

James J. Hill is a big man to con-
tradict, but I certainly do not COM
cur in his recent expressions concern.
ing the z1mprovem ents, now under
way in the Mississippi river" said
former Congressman Loren Fletcher,
after sojourn in Washington and
New York
Every navigable stream in Europe
Of two and one-half to four feet in
depth is utilized for freight carrying,
and at a profit. All of these streams
are paralleled by railroads. Rail
roads do not look with favor upon the
development of waterways, and they
would, I believe, do away with navi-
cation upon the lakes if such thing
was possible. The movement for the
Improvement of the Mississippi for
the benefit Of Minneapolis was not
originated with the idea of benefiting
the railroads It was intended to
serve the interests of the people by
giving them cheap transportation by
water.
When the Nicaraguan canal is
completed believe 1t will be possible
to deliver foreign freight from Min
neapolis as cheaply as it can now be
sent to New York by rail. I think the
Mississippi river is destined to become
a great artery of commerce in the flu
LUIS. Lne peOple OF ONO are now en-
thusiastic over the Improvement Of
the Ohio river, where the depth of
water is less and the engineering
problems Of greater magnitude than
those presented here. These are my
beliefs, Mr.. Hill to the contrary. I
have nothing personal against Mr..
Hill. He is looking at the question
from the competitive standpoint, and
Mr.. Hill is first of all railroad man.
The political pot is boiling in
Washington. One hears of no OPPOSE
ton to President Roosevelt, and his
friends are enthusiastic The demo-
Gratis appear to be without a leader
and in a bad state Of disorganization
The Minneapolis colonies in New York
and Washington are prosperous, those
in Washington expressing a desire that
congress close so that they may get
back to the northwest

THEY ACTUALLY - &
DO THE WORK
Food Ehten Is Worthless Unless Dr.
gested Some stomachs Must
Heve Help,

Have Help.
Food taken into the stomach which.
from the nature Of the food or the
condition Of the stomach, is not di-
Eested, is worse than no food at all.
This Is a true statement as far as 1t
goes and great many dyspeptics go
only this far with their reasoning
They argue with themselves that be-
cause their stomachs do not do the
work given them, they must be Civ
en- less work; In other words, they
must be starved. It would be just as
sensible for business man who is I'M.
able to do all his own work to cut
down his business to his own capacity
as IT is tor a man to starve himself to
relieve his stomach. The sensible
business man employs help and goes
forward with his business. Likewise
the sensible dyspeptic /, will employ
help for his stomach and give his
body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
sct;sn Of q r great portion Of digestive t
Identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretions Of the stomach
and they simply take up the grind and
carry on the work just the same as a
good. strong, healthy stomach would
do 1t.
On this account stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural In their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They
themselves digest the food and supply
the system with all the nourishment
contained in what Is eaten and carry
out natures plans for the sustenance
and maintenance Of the body.
How much more sensible Is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs, BY
this means body and brain get all the
good. nutritious food they need and
equipped to carry on his work and
perform his duties. He could not
possibly be In proper working condi-
ton by starving himself or employing
some new tangled, insufficient food
that does not contain enough nutri-
ment for a year-old baby. A strong
man doing strong work must be prop
erly fed and this applies to the brain
as we'll as the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. by re-
Heving the stomach Of It's work, en-
ables 1t to recuperate and regain it's
normal health and strength. Nature
repairs the worn and wasted tissues
just as she heals and knits the bone
not used during the process Of repair
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at SO cents a box
and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell some
thing In the place Of that's Gust as
good" Their unqualified merit and
success and the universal demand for
them has placed them within the
reach Of every one.

BIRDS DASHED TO EARTH
Great Numbers Killed Near Worthing-
ton In Recent Storm.

Myriads Of Lapland longspurs were
killed about Worthington, Mimi. by
a recent snowstorm. DR.. L. o. Hart.
one of the leading ornithologists of
the state, is investigating the matter,
having obtained possession of the
bodies Of about one hundred and fifty
Of the dead birds. It is his theory
that the birds, in migrating from their
winter feeding ground to their sum-
mer home in the vicinity of Hudson
bay, struck the snowstorn, were
blinded and fell to the earth to meet
their death.
The birds migrate only at night
feeding and sleeping thru the day. In
each case he has found a blood clot
on the heart, resulting from hemor-
rhage of the lungs. This is thought
to have been caused by the shock Of
the fall to the earth.

gave practical and interesting talk on the subject of ''Tuberculosis in Cattle" He stated the object of the state law on the question. The census of 1900 showed there were 217, ,O5S neat cattle in Connecticut, valued at S5, 944, 265. The dairy products in 1900 were valued at $7 ,O9O, lS8. He said the cat tie commissioner aimed to conduct a campaign of instruction as well as destruction. Scientific experiments had demonstrated that darkness, dampness and filth in stables were favorable for the development of tuberculosis in the cattle. Sunlight was a great germicide. He spoke in regard to the ideal stables and the essentials necessary in successful dairy ing. Brief speeches were made by Gideon Wakeley, Master of Fairfield County Pomona Grange, K. E. Blake man and Rev O. w. Barker. Readings were given by Miss Eleanor NOrthrop and Miss Loretta HOu}ihan. Gen Averill was given vote of thanks for his interesting address.
