ADRIFT TWO DAYS.
Chicago Couple Finally Rescued by
Life Saving Crew.

Chicago, Aug 23.-After being afioat
on Lake Michigan since Sunday evening
in a small rowboat, John Cnartres and
Miss Zelda Stewart, of Evanston, were.
rescued late Tuesday. Both of them
were in a precarious condition from ex
posure, lack of nourishment and sleep.
On Sunday afternoon Chartres called
at the residence of Miss Stewart and
asked her to go boat riding on the lake.
They rented a small skiff from a fisher
man and went out into the lake. About
two hours after they departed a squall
swept over the lake and when nothing
was seen of the couple it was thought
they had been either lost or blown out
in the middle of the lake and there pick
ed up by some passing steamer. Yester-
day afternoon while the lifesaviS.g crew
of Evanston was patrolling the lake in
the effort to find some trace of them,
the boat was discovered about ten miles
off shore.
Chartres explained that during the
squall one of his oars was broken and
that being unable to propei the boat
after that, he had devoted all his. ener-
gies to keeping it afloat and out of the
trough of the sea, which at times was
exceedingly rough
His strength was about gone when he
and Miss Stewart were discovered and
he declared that he could not have held
out for another night.

Albuquerque, Aug. 23.-The i'm
mense amount of $640,0O0 is to be
spent by the Santa Fe system between
now and the end of 1906 in Arizona
and New Mexico between Albuquerque
and Ash Fork. Fifteen thousand dol
lars will be spent in improving the
shops at Albuquerque this year and
two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars are to be spent in remodeling and
rebuilding the shops during the next
year, which will mean the steady en-
ployment of at least 250 more men.
Three hundred thousand dollars is
being spent in constructing bridges
and ballasting track between Albu-
querque and Williams and seventy-hve
thousand dollars for d new hotel and
depot at Ash Fork, work to begin
within the next two months.
The most important to Albuquerque
Of all the items of expenditure for bet
terments is the amount of quarter
million and more which will be ex-
pended during the coming year in re-
building and equipping the shops in
this city, which will practically give
steady work to almost double the num-
which is now being expended in in
creasing the boiler capacity of the
shops and a few other necessary i'm
provements.
L4lC JULIET uOQS0 Is O0lIlS enlarged
to accommodate the two $50 horse
power boilers and transfer table, $50
feet larger than the one now in use
will be put in.
Next year the shops in Albuquerque are
to be doubled in capacity. A huge steel
electric crane will traverse the whole
length of the main shops. The machine
shops will be extended 40 feet the boiler
shop 200 feet, and ali the newest and best
in machinery VIII be put in.
The bridges and ballast on the main
line between this city and Williams, Ariz..
are being rebuilt and 10000 will be ex-
pended in the new track betterments. The
whole line is being ballasted, bridges are
being put in and new and much heavier
steel has already been laid for many miles.
The work is now about half con2leted.
Within 60 days the work on q new depot
and hotel will be commenced at Ash Fork,
to take the place of the building which
was destroyed. The building will be thor
oughly modern. lighted by electricity and
heated by steam. This will mean the build
ing of an electric and refrigerating plant
and the development of a water system
for Ash Fork.
The hotel building and depot will be
built entirely of Arizona products. The
lower stories will be built of red sand
stone trimmed with cut stone of the same
character. and the upper stories of white
sand brick which are made at Prescott
The hotel will be handsomely furnished by
the Harvey system and VIII be one of the
best of the many fine hotels operated by
that system 5+

a Fruitless Conference.

Budapest, Aug. IA ministeEiaI
conference was held at Ischle, upper
Austria. yesterday under the presidency
of the king emperor, at which the
Hungarian political situation was un-
der discussion It is the opinion OF
newspapers here that the conference
has not resulted in any chances of IN
understanding between the ministry
of General Fejervary and the coalition
majority in the Hungarian diet. In the
event of failure to reach an agreement
the premier will continue to direct the
affairs of the kingdom. 1t is stated,
however, that the cabinet will hence
forth follow a more vigorous policy
and will endeavor to break down the
passive opposition of the recalcitrant
municipal and other Hungarian au-
thorities.

With Natural Gas Company.

Chanute, Kan, Aug 23.-The pipe
line which is being put in by the Prai-
rie Oil & Gas company to connect with
the holding of the Kansas Natural Gas
company in the Buffalo field will be
completed by this evening. That is,

ing the pipe will be finished by that

made.
The line is of two inch pipe and is
eleven miles long 1t is on the Neosho-
Allen, Wilson-Woodson county line for
the greater part of the way. Its in
several companies which have been
unable to make sales. Quite a field
has been opened up about Buffalo. The

shipped oil in tank cars. This is the
only oil which has been marketed from
this particular field.

Weak
Stomach.

A weak stomach is most fire.
quently caused by the over
worked and exhausted nervous
system.
The power that runs the
stomach is the nerve force sent
to it from the brain through
the nerves. When the nerves
are weak or exhausted the sup
ply of energy is insufficient
and the action of the stomach
is impaired, and results in i'm
perfect digestion-dyspepsia
DR.. Miles Restorative Nerv-
inc increases nerve force. 1t
strengthens and builds up nerve
tissue, gives vigor to the nerves
and muscles of the stomach;
this produces a healthy activity.
Nervine allays the inAamma-
ton, heals the membranes, and
makes the stomach strong and
healthy. There is nothing that
SO quickly gives energy to the
whole system as Restorative
Nervine.
st can't say enough for DR.. Miles
Nervine. 1 don't know what It will
do for others. but it certainly cured me
of stomach trouble. and now I am as
well as ever was. Two physicians
failed to relieve me, but in three or
four days after taking Nervine 1 was
much relieved. Four bottles made me
a sound man. at the cost of $4.00.'
