ST. PETERSBURG, Oct "a. - The

difficulty The decision of the railroad
men at a meeting here tonight to de-
clare a general strike has immensely
complicated the problem, but the pas
sengers were notified that communca-

Tver.
Several attempts were made today to
interrupt communication by telegraph
and telephone out Of Moscow and
the telegraph offices had to be guard
ed by Cossacks. Persons wishing to
send messages had to fight their way
through the crowds Of strikers and
in many cases were severely handled.
The strike has taken a violent turn
in number of cities, from which re-
ports come of encounters between mobs
and the police and troops.
Agrarian disorders have broken out
in the province of Samarau. The ex

ONLY A SUGGESTION
But It Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become fleshy and plump
it can only result from the food we eat
and digest and the food should be al
luminous or f1esh-forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak and cereals; in other
words, the kinds of food that make flesh
are the foods which form the greater
part of our daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while We seat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and oVerwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
1t, which is the reason so many people
remain thin and under weight; the di-
gestive organs do not completely digest
the flesh-forming beefsteak, eggs ana
similar wholesome food.
There are thousands Of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or
inconvenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preju-
dices aside and make a regular practice
of taking after each meal one or two of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the food
would be quickly and thoroughly di-
gested, because these tablets contain
the natural peptoues and diastase which
every weak stomach lacks, and by sup
plying this want the stomach is soon
enabled to reach its natural tone and
vigor.

every kind of flesh-forming food, meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this is the
reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dys-
peptic men, women and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong, irritating
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful
ingredients.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
most successful and most widely known
OF any remedy for stomach troubles be-
cause they are the most reasonable and
scientific of modern medicines.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold

at 80 cents for complete treatment

DUNNE ON SUNDAY CLOSING
Suggests Referendum Be Used to De-
eide Question of Shutting Up
Saloons
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Mayor Dunno has
a new use for the referendum. He
wants to try it on the question of
whether saloons should be closed on
Sunday or not. If a majority vote for
closing them he will do his best to
obey. If the decision is the other way
things are to remain as they are.
He made the suggestion while dis
cussing demand for his indictment
made in a sermon on Sunday by the
Rev. w. A. Bartlett of the First Con-
gregational church. Mr.. Bartlett want
ed him punished for not locking up the
drinking places on Sunday.
"Mr. Bartlett, in my opinion" said
the mayor, "is an honest, conscientious
clergyman who represents a small
minority in the community.
In my judgment, however, it is
physically impossible to do what he
wants. Prosecutions could be started
as they have been started in the past
and there would be no good results. All
former attempts in this direction have
failed.
You can't indict an entire people.
When an old and mildewed law has no
public sentiment behind it, it is impos-
sible of enforcement. 1t simply is re-
pealed by lack of popular support.
But the question as to whether pub
lie sentiment demands the closing of
saloons on Sunday or not can be de-
termined easily by a referendum"

Soon after the return of President

This does not mean that every one

go out but there will be two or three
new members, and probably three

close of the current fiscal year.
Secretary Shaw is to go out of the

and a panic followed. Many persons
were injured in the crush. Subse-
quently the crowd came in contact
with a detachment of cavalry, revolver
shots were fired by some of the civ

among the cavalry. The latter there
upon fired two volleys with blank cart
ridges and then fired with bullets. Both
sides suffered seriously. Many of the
wounded were left on the ground when
the crowd dispersed.
