MRS. GARDNER PAID UP.
Was Threatened With Suit by tn
 UnitAd States.

Washington Jan. 12.-It is learned here that In 1898 Mrs Jack Gardner of Boston began the importation of sculpture paint ings and other works of art, which were admitted free of duty on the ground that theye were intended for public exhibition It is understood that the importation ag- gregated about Sl,000,000.
 About a month or more ago, the Treas ury Department began to receive com plaint from citizens of Boston to the ef- feet that while these pictures and works of art were supposed to be on exhibition, they were unable to see them and the facts were that the exhibition halls in which the work of art were placed were open to the public only few hours each month during the winter season, and then only on the payment of an admission fee. The matter was referred to special agents of the Treasury Department who went to Boston and made an investigation. The facts were then placed before the De- partment of Justice and an opinion asked as to whether Mrs. Gardner had com piled with the letter and the spirit of the law in opening her galleries to The public.
 The department placed the matter in the hands of the United States Attorney in Boston who reported that the law had been violated. Proceedings were about to be instituted when Mrs. Gardner paid the duties under the law. amounting to about S2O0.0OO. This paymena 1t is under stood. was made about three months ago.

discount. Most of the companies were unwilling to do this, and. instead. bor- rowed on their notes, running from one to two years. In this way the Burlington, the Union Pacific. the Great Northern the St Louis and San Francisco and the Lake Shore borrowed from $6o0o,oo0 to $1o0oo,- 600 apiece. In the matter of earnings the railroads broke all previous records in 1904 While the earnings for the entire year have not yet been compiled it Is cer- tain that during 1908 they will be the largest in the railroad industry. The ac- tual increase in gross earnings fort ten months ending with October. oyer the corresponding period of 1909 was more than sl25 900, ,0oa This would indicate that the gross earnings of the railroads in the country in 1898 will show an increase of at least s150.0oo,ooo. and in all probability an even larger decrease over 1902.
 Tn the matter of net earnings the rail- roads do not make quite as favorable a showing as in gross. The increase in wages and the increase in. the cost of practically all materials that enter into operation and maintenance increased op- erating expenses heavily and reduced net earnings.
 The increase in net earnings for the leading railroads of the country for the ten months ending with October was ap- proximately sS7.0o0.ooo.

If there is one thing more than all oth, s CTS that will give a man a forlorh ana friendless appearance and make nlm nor hid and cranky and disagreeable, that thing is dyspepsia It makes one forget his friends and become morose ana irrl- table. He is so wrapped up lh ms .., o". misery that he is inconsiderate Of every one else. Relieved of this terrible ana de- pressing ailmentj he again becomes a good fellow and a man among men.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond question the most effective and popular remedy ever offered to the sufferers or this terrible disease The thousands ana thousands of cures they have brought about and the enormous increase of their sales fully attest the truth of this state ment. ,.-'
 They are. above all, natural remedy. They possess exactly the same properties that the gastric juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach possess and they ac- tually do the digestive work of the stom- ach and enable that organ to rest and recuperate and become sound and well. They act in a mild, natural manner and cause no disturbance in the digestive or gans. They prevent any fermentation or the food which causes sour stomach. In fact, under their influence the subject forgets that he has a stomach and his re- sulting cheerfulness presents great con
 
 Millions of boxes of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold annually and they are but in the dawn. of their popularity. Every mail brings letters of thanksgiving from grateful ones who have been cured of this terrible disease. The following is one of hundreds received each week:
 Rev. J. R. Hoag of Wymore, Neb., writes. For six years I have been troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall l be- came very much alarmed at some symp- toms of heart trouble and came to believe there was sympathetic relation between the two diseases. or rather, that the stoni- ach trouble was the cause of the heart disturbance. I hit upon Stuart's Dyspep' sia Tablets for a remedy and invested d dollar and half for three boxes whict lasted me three months and can eat any Kind of food I want and have a good vigorous appetite.

RAILROADS BEAT ALL RECORDS.
Business for the Past Year Show!

Business for the Past Year Shows
 Greatest Increase in Earnings. Washington Star.
 During the past year the railroads of the country broke all records in earning capacities. The gross income in 1908 in- creased $150, 00.000. The result of 1908, in the matter of railroad consultations proved a far less important year than either 1902 or 1901.
 The most important railroad mergers during 1908 were connected with the Rock Island system. Through these mergers the mileage of the Rock Island was in. creased to more than 1900 miles-maIIins 1t one of the largest and most powerful railroad systems in the world. Among the other important railroad changes were the purchase of the Sea. board Air Line by interests identified with the Rock Island and the Southern Rail. way, and sthe purchase of the HOckine Valley and the Reading by Pennsylvania and New York Central interests. About S,700 miles of new railroad were constructed in the United States in 1908 or about 175 miles more than was built in 1902. -
 Never in the career of the railroads were rates better maintained than In 19lS The railroads in every section of the country had all the trafic they could pos- sibly handle. and there was no inceptive to the cutting of rates.
 In financial way the Pennsylvania far outstrfpped all other roads. Early in the year it sold $75, ,000, 900 of new stock for 800, | 900. This was followed by the sale ot over $1O00OO.0O0 of stocks and bonds on the subsidiary properties. This heavy ] borrowing by Pennsylvania absorbed
 most of the floating supply of capital. and the other railroads later in the year found great difficulty in borrowing money. The congestion of securities was SC great that the other railroads were un. able to sell their bonds except at a heavy
