INTERESTING FACTS
FOR NEARLY EVERY MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD

FOR NEARLY EVERY MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD.
A short time ago we published an article recon-
mending to readers the discovery for the
cure of dyspepsia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's and the claims then made regarding the
derful curative properties OF the remedy have been
abundantly sustained by the facts. People who
cautious about trying remedies adver-
tised In the newspapers and were finally induced
to give Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a trial were
surprised and delighted at the results. In many
a single package costing but 80 cents at
any drug store made complete cure. and In
every instance the most beneficial results were
ported. From hundred received we have
space to publish only few OF the latest but
sure our readers We receive many commenda-
tory letters that We shall publish each week a
fresh list Of genuine unsolicited testimonials and
never publish the same twice.
From James Yemmeisler. Lacrosse Wis: Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets doing me more good
than nything tried. and I was pleased
at results that I gave away several boxes to my
friends who have also had the same benefits.
From Jacob Anthony. Portmurray. New Jersey:
have taken Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets with the
best results. I had Dyspepsia for years, and had
taken a great deal of medicine. but the Tablets
seem to take right a hold and feel good. l am

mend to every one who has any trouble with bis
stomach to use these Tablets.
From Mrs. NJ. K. West. Preston. Mimi: have
received surprisingly good effects from using Stu

Constable Jacob T. Lam of Linville dis
trict Rockingham county, Va. was indict-
ed yesterday by the grand jury in the cir
cult court Of Rockingham county for allow
ing Ware ,Wooks. who was charged with
attempted criminal assault, to escape after
the latter was in custody. The indictment
of Lam, who Is well known throughout
that section, created a sensation. Woods
who is still at large. was also indicted,
charged with attempted assault upon Miss
Rose Griffiths of the Edmon neighborhood.
The alleged offense of Woods was COM
mitted during the latter part of July, when
he met Miss Griffiths on the public road.
He was, 1t is declared. frightened away
by the approach of neighbors. who heard
the girls screams for help. Woods was
arrested by Constable Lam, and In some
manner made his escape within short
time after he was taken into custody. A

of the commission that the prohibition

cludes the acceptance of services, property,

Of money specified in the published sched-

Annual Reports.
AS to the extension of time for filing
annual reports, the commission has issued
a special order which does not leave the
roads much leeway. The order says:
1.-THE interstate commerce commission Is
receiving numerous requests from the va
rious railroads subject to the interstate
commerce law for extensions of time with
In which to file their annual reports as re-
QulTou ny ScCtiOH ~ VI tIic diHeEucu dCl
to regulate commerce. which became efrec-
tive on August %, 1908. These reports
cover the period Of twelve months ending
on the 3Oth day of June in each year. and
are required by law ''to be made out under
oath and filed with the commission at it's
office In Washington, on or before the S0th
day of September then next following.
1.-THE commission deems 1t of the utmost
importance that these reports from all
carriers be promptly filed. 1t takes the
position that ample time Is allowed the
carriers by law for the preparation and
filing of this data. since they have full
knowledge that the current years business
must be covered in report for the max
ing of which one-fourth of the ensuing
year is allowed. This year the carriers
have had fifteen days additional time al
lowed for this purpose. inasmuch as the
amended law requires the reports made
on or before the 30th of September. in
stead of the 18th Of this month, as here
tofore required by the commission.
Under these circumstancesthe commits
sion feels that the necessity must be very
rare which will justify it in granting an
extension Of time. for the making of these
reports. Their value depends largely upon
the degree of promptness with which they
the commission shall transmit its annual
report (Which Is based partly upon data
contained in the reports of carriers) to Con-
gress on or before the 1st day of Decem-
ber in each year, 1t is essential in order
to enable the commission to comply with
the law on its part that the carriers shall
file their reports for the current year on or
before the Both of September, 1906, as the
statute provides"

Despite the fact that every preparation
was made during the summer for the ac-
commodation of a greatly Incl eased at
tendance at the Kensington public schools,
it is evident the classes will be as badly
hampered for necessary room as was the
case last year. Between two and three
hundred pupils have enrolled. To meet
this emergency the trustees are crowdng
additional desks into every available cor
ner. 1t is said a number Of pupils will be
entered. later in the week. Nothing less
than an additional building with a much
larger capacity than that of the two pres
ent structures can provide for the rapid
growth OF the school,
At the present time 1t Is classified as a
grammar schoo; with grades from the first
to eighth. The necessity of a high school
Is felt, for at this time the middle grades
are quite as well filled as is the primary
department.

his offer of last year to the school boys of
Montgomery county, promising medals to
those who are judged the best declamors

ing of the new rate law. 1t Is important
in another regard. The law contains a
number of provisions that IL entirely en-
forced would work considerable hardship
on the railroads and the general pub

that it would be strictly enforced from the

Excursion Rates.
The ruling in regard to excursion rates
Is as follows:
.It is the opinion of the commission that
the PROVISIONS OI lAS duoHuSu SAAsh SoS-
ton in respect of the publishing. filing and
posting Of tariffs apply to the mileage. ex-
cursion and Communication rates authorized
by the twenty second section. Such rate
when first established or offered Is held to
be q change of rates which requires no
tice of thirty days. No reason appears why
this notice should not be given In the case
of mileage rates, Communication rates. round-
trip rates. or other reduced rates which,
like ordinary passenger rates. are estab-
to be q matter Of permanent policy. Strict
ly excursion rates, however. covering a
named or limited period. are of different
character in this regard. and may properly
be established on much shorter notice.
ITO avoid the necessity for special appli-
cation In cases of this kind. the commission
has made general order fixing the follow
ing named time Of notice of round-trip ex-
cursion rates, and carriers may govern
themselves accordingly:
"Rates for an excursion limited to a des-
ignated period of not more than three days
may be established. without further notice,
upon posting tariff one day In advance in
two public and conspicuous places in the
waiting room of each station where tickets
for such excursion are sold and mailing a
copy thereof to the commission.
Rates for an excursion limited to desig-
mated period Of more than three days and
not more than thirty days may be estab-
lished upon a notice of three days In place
of the thirty days notice otherwise re-
uufred by the amended sixth section.
"Rates for an excursion limited to a
DESIGNATED period exceeding thirty days
will require the statutory notice unless
shorter time is allowed in special cases by
the commission.
