in the afternoon.
DIR. Watson says as he drove onto
the bridge, on his return, a newspaper
was blown by the wind from the
bridge floor under the mare, causing
her to whirl, describing a complete
circle, throwing both out Of the buggy,
Mrs. Watson falling over the railing
into the river below, a distance Of "a

knows nothing more Of the accident
DR.. Watson was found after dark

Dyspepsia is a plain, ordinary, COM
mon, miserable disease that has all
kinds OF causes except q germ. To
cure It., the infiamed and irritated

these conditions and also gives
strength and tone to the whole sys-

A few days treatment will show the
great good Mi-o.na can do and its use
for a reasonable length of time will
result in a complete cure. No one
should hesitate trying this remedy.

THE MISSOURI PACIFIC
AND WABASH TO JOIN.
A st. Louis Report of the Consolida-
ton Of the Two Big Systems
Ramsey az President.

1t is given out on good authority
that the Missouri Pacific and Wabash
sytems are to be consolidated under
one management, with Joseph Ram
sey, Jr., at their head. Mr.. Ramsey
is president Of the Wabash.
Both systems are Gould lines. The
plans for the consolidation, 1t Is said,
have been formulated and are well
under way, waiting only the return
from Europe Of MI. Gould for their
consummation. The resignation Of
Russell Harding, who is considered
a t%opnotcher in the railroad world, is
said to be the cause of the move.
Mr.. Ramsey Is looked upon as a
worthy successor to the ex-general
manager Of the Missouri Pacific. The
Gould schedule, too, has always been
for consolidation Of his allied inter-
ests. East OF PittsbuIg all bis meter
ests are merged. The western move
simply follows this plan.

The Cause Of the Apple Sting.

A bulletin just issued by the Uni
versity Of Missouri explains the cause
Of the so-callcd ''sting" Of the apple
that has destroyed so much Of this
valuable fruit since 1900 when 1t made
Its first appearance. A little bug
about the size Of an ordinary flea,
known to horticulturlsts as the Plum
Curculio, punctures the skin Of the
fruit for the purpose OF eating the
pulp and depositing its eggs. DIR.
DR.. J. M. Stedman, author Of the
bulletin, recommends spaying the
trees at intervals of ten days, twice
before the blossoms open and four
times before they fall; allowing the
hogs to eat the fallen apples which
contain large numbers Of the insect;
and cultivating the soil under the
trees at least three times between the
fifteenth Of July and the middle of
August.
