QUAKER CITY CORRUPTION
FORMER CHIEF OF ALTERATION
 BUREAU HELD FOR TRIAL.

His Bonds Placed at $S,OOO-MOre Sen-
 sational Testimony Hill in ColIusion
 to Rob the City--Gave instructions to
 ..Eat Up'' s7,0oo of an Unexpended Ap-
 propriation--C Charges for Excavations
 That Were Never Made.
 Philadelphia. June 21--On charges of forgery and of falsifying; statements. John W. Hill, former chief of the fil-a tration bureau, at a salary of s17, 900 2 year, was held to-day by Magistrate. Issnbrown in $, 900 bail for trial at court. MT. Hil resigned his office a week ago, and the resignation was ac- cepted by Mayor Weaver after the dis closures made during the hearing of Councilman Frank H. Caven, who is. under bail charged with violating his couneilmanic oath, by contracting to furnish sand to the city for the filter beds.
 Sensational testimony was given by Frederick Schaffhauser, a discharged employe of the filtration bureau, and at present employed in the water bureau. The testimony referred to two contracts awarded Daniel J. McNichoH. One was for making excavations for water pipes, and the other was for laying pipe. The contract for the excavation amounted to $750, ,000 and that for lay ing the pipe was for $46, 900. There was a supplemental contract to the last named. The amount being $40,06o.
 Schaffhauser testified that after the. work on the excavations had been conn., pleted there still remained nearly $7,000 of the appropriation. He stated that during conversation with Chief Hill the latter told him he thought the 1000 ought to go to the contractor.
 He was told by MT. Hill. he said, to feat up the surplus, and, acting on these instructions, he added it to his report as rock excavation charges. After he had made the false entry on his estimates, Schaffhauser said, Chief Hill told him to scratch 1t out and in sert the original figures, as the then director of public works, Mr. Paddock, would not stand for it. Later this record was destroyed by Chief Hill and. a new one made out containing the charge for additional excavations for which the surplus $700O was paid.
 Concerning the contract for the iay- ing of water pape Schaffhauser said that under the direction of MT. Hill he had added to his monthly statement charges for excavations that had never been made.
 Mayor Weaver after the hearing ar1- nounced that he had engaged three ex- pert accountants to investigate the ac- counts of the bureau of filtration. They will begin work at once. E

LINETITCH,s PLIGHT.
Russian Army in More Dangerous Pos sition Now Than Ever Before

London, June 22.-The Daily Tele- graphs .Moji correspondent says: Realizing that it was impossible to assume the offensive against the over- whelming superiority of the enemy, Lieutenant General LineVitch ordered Lieutenant General Mistchenko to make a display of activity in order to create an impression of an offensive movement.
 His attack, however, in no way in-
 lueneed Field Marshal 0yama's plans. To the contrary it only facilitated Jap anese observations of his weaknesses, and at the present moment Linevitch is in more dangerous position than was Kuropatkin at Mukden.'

There upon he came forward and said that there were times when the feelings overpowered one; and for that reason he would not attempt to do more than thank those around him. for the man. ner in which such huge animal was cut into fragments was simply aston ishing. The doctor concluded his re- marks, when the machine seized him, and in less time than it takes to write 1t the pig was cut into fragments and worked up into delicious sausages. The occasion will long be remembered by the doctors friends as one of the most delightful of their lives. The best pieces can be procured for Tod pound. and we are sure that those who have sat so long under his ministry will re- joice that he has been treated so hand somely."

ON THE RACE TRACK
At Fair Grounds.

New Orleans, December 2.-Heavy rains during the forenoon made the Crescent City Jockey clubs track a sea of slush today. The weather interfered but little with the attendance but it upset betting calculations and Major Daingerfeld and Vanness were the only winning favorites. The latter was run up to Sl500 after his race and sold to Harry Brolaski. The principal number on the card was the Magnolia selling stakes a mile dash. worth S1650 to the winner. Major Dain- gerfield. who was greatly favored by the state of the track, was a strong favorite at odds on and. though apparently beaten at the head of the stretch, came fast under urging in the final furlong and won out by a head from the long shot, Passa- dena, who made all of the running. Sew all. the western boy who is occupying the center of the stage just now, rode a very poor race on Caprice. the favorite in the second, but redeemed himself by a well judged ride which landed Roder- ick winner in the third: He also rode Vanness but the gelding required little help. Logistilla was well supported fa- vorite in the last race, but was never prominent, Monaco Maid, thoroughly at home in the going, winning all the way.

A Great PhysioIogist
Once Said That the Way to Keep the Stomach Healthy
 Is to Exercise If.
But He Did Not Tell How to Make 1t
 Healthy.

'CdItnys
 The muscles of the body can be de- veloped by exercise until their strength has increased manifold and a proper amount of training each day will ac- complish this result, but 1t is somewhat doubtful whether you can increase the digestive powers of the stomach by eat ing indigestible food in order to force 1t to work.
 Nature has furnished us all with a perfect set of organs and if they are not abused they will attend to the busi- ness required of them. They need no abnormal strength
 There Is limit to the weight g. man can lift and there Is also a limit to what the stomach can do.
 The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion and many similar diseases is that the stom- ach has been exercised too much and 1t is tired or worn out. Not exercise but rest is what 1t needs.
 To take something into the stomach itself will relieve it from the work for short time-something to digest the Goodwill give 1t a rest and allow it time to regain it's strength.
 The proper aid to the digestive organs is stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which cure dyspepsia. indigestion. gas on the stomach and bowels. heartburn. palpita- tion of the heart. and all stomach dis eases.
 Rest and invigoration is what the stomach gets when you use Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain of the active principle in them is sufficient to digest 5000 grains of food,
 The Tablets increase the flow of gas- fric juice, and prevent fermentation, acidity and sour eructions.
 Do not attempt to starye out dyspep- sia. You need all your strength
 The common sense method is to di-
 st the food for the stomach and give a rest
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not ake the cure. but enable the organs
 throw off unhealthy conditions
 Perfect digestion means perfect health ,r under these conditions only do the ffferent organs of the body work right nd receive the building-up material ound in pure blood
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat Iral remedy and are specific for stom- oh troubles. The ablest physicians pre- cribe them.
 The Tablets are pleasant to- the taste. and are composed of fruit and vegeta- ole extracts. golden seal and pepsin. At all drug stores-50 cents per pack age

 Dr. Nudge, an American clergyman, was one day presented with gold headed cane by some of his admirers During that week also a new patent pig-killing and sausage-making machine was tried in the same city.
