HAD MONEY IN BANK.
Mrs. Chadwick Scores a Point Against
the Government

Cleveland, o., March SHINE witnesses
have been examined in the Chadwick trial
and the defense established the fact that
the claim of the government that Mrs.
Chadwick had no money in the Oberlin
were certified by Spear and Beckwith was
incorrect in two instances at least.
1t was shown by the general journal of
the bank that on November 8, 1903, when
Mrs. Chadwick received a certified check
for $4,000 an entry crediting her with that
amount was made on the journal of the
bank and deposit slip for $4,000 was
made out in her name. The entry and the
slip were made in the handwriting of
Cashier Spear. Another entry of a SINH
lar nature, amounting to 5000. was also
found These facts were brought out on
cross examination by Judge Wing, counsel
for Mrs. Chadwick, after long and tedious
questioning of H. H. Avery, assistant
cashier of the Oberlin bank. Avery a t first
testified that Mrs. Chadwick at no time
had either money in or credit at the bank.

OF course the mayor was stunned and
he tramped back to his special train

near the noon hour, when the operator
reported that he could take his train

Rock islands New Equipment.

Chicago, March 8.-The manage
ment of the Rock Island has given or
ders for new equipment to be deliv-
600. The most significant part of the
order is that which calls for 1000
freight cars. which the road sadly
needs, owing to the increased traffic
which has come to it since the advent
of the Wincheu administration. The
new freight equipment will cost be-
tween 100000 and 100000. The
new power which has been ordered in
cludes fifty new locomotives, just or
dered. and sixty-f1ve which will soon
be delivered the total cost being be-
tween S1,8OO,OO and s2,OOO,OO0. The
passenger department will secure
twenty new pattern passenger coaches.

VIII steal Engines Next.

San BernardinO. March S.-There is a
possibility that the Santa Fe will increase
its night watch at this station. The theft
of the auto car from the freight platform
the other day has brought to the atten-
ton of the company that the yards are
rather too large to be patrolled by one
man, no matter how active or vigilant he
might be. When there is only one watch
man his place is on the passenger plat
form when the trains come in, and the
willy rogues who contemplate robbing
know this full well 1t is suspected that
it was during the presence of one of the
through trains that the auto car of Road
master PERKS was stolen the other night.
Who stole it, or why, of course, nobody
knows. but it does seem likely that it
was taken by some criminal who was
anxious to make a quick getaway In
fact, it must have taken two men to take
the car down from the top of the plat
form and place it on the tracks. The car
has been traced as far as San Dimas from
which point it is supposed to have been
taken to the Southern Pacific tracks over
the oiled road, comparatively easy task
1t is presumed that the car has been run
over into the brush somewhere or thrown
from a bridge, but it is evident that the
men who stole it were mechanics familiar
with the handling of gasoline motor,
and also acquainted with the movement of
trains on both the Santa F'e and Southern
Pacific.

LoREE TO CANADIAN PACIFIC.
Former President of Rock Island Sys-

L. F. Loree, who resigned on Octo-
Der last the Craftsmanship of the ex-
ecutive committee and a dictatorship
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway company, and who was the
head of the st. Louis & San Francisco
Railway company, has announced
since his return from abroad that he
will in the future be connected with
the Canadian Pacific Railway com

1t will be remembered that Mr..
Loree came to the Rock Island as ex-
ecutive head of the system at the re-
quest of a banking firm which was
negotiating the Rock Island and
Frisco merger deals.
The Loree regime was disastrous to
the Rock Island railway in that it
brought about a disorganized state of
affairs which have now been prac-
ticaIly entirely ironed out and smooth
ed over by President B. L. Winchell,
who succeeded Mr.. Loree. In less than

Kansas City Citizens Vote Fails to
Endorse Change.

Kansas City. Mo-, March s-The adop-
ton of a new city charter was defeated
at an election held here yesterday at
which a light vote was cast. The adop-
ton of the new charter would have re-
quired a four-sevenths vote, but the char
ter was not supported by even a majority
of the voters The new charter which was
drawn by thirteen representative free
holders was intended to enlarge the pow
ers of the city government and in other
ways suit the conditions brought about
by the rapid growth of Kansas City dur
ing the past ten years.
II ,0S9 We're against the proposed new
charter. The adoption of the charter
would have required 2.0S2 additional votes.

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of IndI-
gestion.

Very few people are free from some
form of indigestion, but scarcely two
will have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eat
ing. blOating from gas in stomach and
bowels, others have heartburn or sour
risings, still others have palpitation of
heart, headaches, sleeplessnesS pains in
chest and under shoulder blades, some
have extreme nervousness, as in nerv-
Gus dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be.
the cause in all cases of INDIGESTION is
the same, that is the stomach for some
reason fails to properly and promptly
digest what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach
troubles in a nutshell. The stomach
must have rest and assistance and Sim
supplying those natural digestives
which every weak stomach lacks. owing
to the failure of the peptic glands in
the stomach to secrete sufficient acid
and pepsin to thoroughly digest and as
simulate the food eaten.
One grain of the active principle in
StUart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
1900 grains of meat eggs or other
been proven by actual experiment
which anyone can perform for himself
IN the following manner: Cut a hard
boiled egg into very small pieces as if
would be if masticated; place the egg
and two or three of the tablests in a
bottle or jar containing warm water
heated to 90 degrees (the temperature
of the body and keep 1t at this tenn
perature for three and one-half hours
at the end of which time the egg will
be as completely digested as it would
have been in the healthy stomach of a
hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the egg in the bottle they will do
to the egg or meat in the stomach and
nothing else will rest and invigorate
the stomach so safely and effectualIv
Even a little child can take StI1artSs
Tablets with safety and benefit if its
digestion is weak and the thousands of
cures accomplished by their regular
daily use are easily explained when it
is understood that they are composed
of vegetable essences, aseptic Depsin
diastase and Golden Seal, which nningIe
with the food and digest it Thoroughly.
giving the overworked stomach a
chance to recuperate.
Dieting never cures Dyspepsia. neith-
er do pills and cathartic medicines
which simply irritate and inflame the
intestines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be no con-
stipation, nor in fact viii there be dis
ease Of any kind because good diges-
ton means good health in every organ.
The merit and success of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide and
they are sold at the moderate price of
80 cents for full sized package in every
drug store in the United States and
Canada as well as in Europe.

sLIFER RESIGNS.
superintendent of Northern District
OF Rock Island Is Out.

). ouIer, superintendent OF the
northern district of the Rock Island,
has resigned. Mr.. Slifer was taken to
the Rock Island from the Northwest
ern by c. II. Warren, and is said to
not have been in sympathy with the
present management
The Kansas City Journal prints the
following character story of Mr..
Sitter, which may or may not explain
the reasons for his unpopularity gen
orally;
Mr.. Slifer earned a reputation for
himself in directing operations during
the flood of 1903, at Topeka. Among the
unique orders he gave was one exclud-
river front while the work of rescuing
flood sufferers from the swamps IN
North Topeka was in progress The or
der was something new. None of it
had been plagiarized. He was its auth
or and received its criticism. But Mr..
Slifer was given to creating unique or
ders and many of them helped save
hundreds from Watery graves. All who
could do so left on the first train leav-
ing the water front after the flood had
subsidized, but Mr.. Slifer's car was the
last one moved
When the high water began to get
near the Kansas state reforma tory, Mr..
Slifer happened along in his private
car. Close behind was a special train
from Lake Contrary near ST. Joseph
carrying several cars of river and lake
boats and a steam launch or two. The
special was stopped near daybreak
about two miles from the water front
and the station agent informed Mayor
Borden, of st. Joseph, who was in
charge of the train, that Superintend-
ent Slifer's private car was on the only
line that was above water. The old
man started out in the dark to see if
the private car could not be switched
to a siding so he could unload his boats.
He had to take off his boots often to
empty out the mud and water. When
he arrived at the private car it was
breaking day.
I'm Mayor Borden of st. Joseph"
he explained, as he wiped the mud from
his gray whiskers, land want to see if
Mr.. Slifer would consent to letting me
unload some boats so my men can get
to work The water is rising"
The negro porter disappeared into Mr..
Slifer's private car and awakened his
boss
de mayah O. Joe town is outside,

siding so he can tote his boats to d
water edge, suh.''
