WHAT 1T MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance of
Good Digestion Until 1t Is Lost


Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not know it. They feel mean,
out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well,
do not have a good keen appetite, do
not have the inclination and energy
for physical or mental work thev once
had, but at the same time do not feel
any particular pain or distress in the
stomach. Yet all this is the result of
poor digestion, an insidious form Of
Dyspepsia which can only be cured by
a remedy specially intended to cure it
and make the digestive organs act nat
urally. and properly digest the food
eaten. Bitters. after dinner pills and
nerve tonics will never help the trou
ble they don't reach 1t. The new
medical discovery does. It is called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is
specific for DYSPEPSIA and indigestion.
1t cures because it thoroughly digests
all wholesome food taken into the
stomach whether the stomach is in
good working order or not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by di
costing the food. instead of making
the worn out stomach do all the work.
gives it a much needed rest and cure
of dyspepsia is the natural result
When you are nervous. run down
and sleepIess. don't make the common
mistake of supposing your nervous
system needs treatment and I'LL your
stomach with powerful nerve tones
which make you feel good for a little
while only to fall back farther than
ever.
Your nerves are all right but they
are starved they want food
Nourish them with wholesome
everyday food and plenty of it. well
digested. and you can laugh at nerve
tonics and medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourish-
ed from a weak, abused stomach, but
when the digestion has been made per
feet by the use of this remedy all
nervous symptoms disappear.
Who ever heard of man or woman
blessed with a vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with
their nerves.
Gus system. abundance of energy, and
capacity to enjoy the good things CT

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets viii Ger
tainlv set your stomach and digestive
ORGANS right: they can't help but do
it because they nOurish the body By
digesting the food eaten, and rest the
stomach
You get nourishment and rest at one
and the same time, and that IS all the
worn out dyspeptic needs to build him
up and give new life to every organ
and an added zest to every pleasure

LABoRERs HARD TO GET.
Railroads WIN Need 10000 More for
Construction in 1906.

Railroads in the west and northwest
need fully thirty thousand laborcrs
whom they are unable to obtain.
Owing therefore to the great scarcity
of men, much of the railroad con-
struction and betterments which had
been planned for this year may have
10 be abandoned.
Efforts have been made in all the
large cities of the country to induce
laDorers to go west for railroad work,
but little success has been attained.
The railroads are Offering from S175
to $3.50 without attracting men. one
railroad president who has been trying
Vainly find 5000 men for work in the
northwest, stated yesterday that he
mad not known labor to be so scarce in
twenty-five years.
The st. Paul with other roads, is
having difficulty in this respect, and
it is possible that some of the St. Paul
extensions Will be abandoned and eff
forts centralized on the new Pacific
coast extension
Among the extensions planned by
the St Paul are the following. Presho

DEPEW ACCUSED.
Women Say He Has Appropriated a
Trust Fund of $4,000.

Washington jan 22.-Elza beth Ray,
a 14-year-old girl who weighs 22Opounds
and is FIVE feet five inches tall. admit
ted at the house of detention that she
and her mother had forged the name Of
Senator Derew to $50 check she tried
unnecessarily to pass yesterday on a
jeweler here. The mother, Mrs. Cath
crime Eliza beth Berger is with the girl.
The two tell of fund of 1000 alleged
to have been left by the girls father
Mrs Berger's first husband, in care of
Senator Depew. OF this sum they assert
that $50 every three months was to be
sent to the girl by tffe senator. Both
mother and daughter say that they
came here from their New York home
Monday last to meet the senator. They
accuse Senator Depew of converting the
SO 600 to his own use. They say that
upon his refusal to pay them they found
themselves penniless and signed Mr..
Depew's name to a check because they
believed he ought to support them and
it was their only way o get any money
from him.
At the DeDew homs Miss Paulding.
the senator's niece. declared that the
story of the trust fund was pure fiction.
She expressed pity for the girl and it is
possible that she viii take some steps
to have her released. Miss Paulding
saws she is familiar with Mr.. DepeW's
private business, and that Mr.. Depew
never heard of Mrs Berger and her
daughter

ELMDALE's GAS SUPPLY.
Another Gusher Struck at the Depth
of 125 Feet.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 22.-The Ga
zette says:
Another gas well has been brought
in at Elmdale. The new gusher was
found at a depth of 125 feet. This is
the sixth well drilled at Elmdale; all
but one have been successful, and the
last is the strongest of the group. It
was drilled Jointly by E. P. Gamer and
Asa Breese on lot owned by Gamer.
It is the fourth we'll drilled by Gamer
and Breese. The cost of drilling was
only $3.50.
There is considerable excitement
over the finding of gas at Elmdale.
Several more wells have been contract
ed for, and a company has been organ
lied to bore a poor mans well. Stock
VIII be sold in the company at 0 cents
share. Considerable ground has
been leased and the proceeds expected
from selling the gas to consumers in
Elmdaie will go to lease more land
and drill another well.
Here is a short history of the gas
enterprise in Elmdale. furnished the
Gazette by Charles NJ. Worley of that
place:
The first well was bored in October
by the Dittman Drilling company This
company has worked in the southeast
ern Kansas district and uses a Star
portable steam rig. The first we'll was
drilled near the Santa Fe track and
was not a success, because the drillers
were expecting to go deeper and they

Gas has been found in all Of the wells.
and is dry gas. the highest quality
that can be found. All of the wells
supply enough gas for an ordinary
business building and home, and the
last two wells produce considerably
more than that. There are fields in
Kansas similar to the ElmdaIe field,

of boring deep we'll at Eimdale but
nothing has been done in this direction
as yet. The next we'll will be for c. H
Klein. In addition to the gas good
brick clay has been found at depth
of fifty feet.
"The feed mill al Elmdale burned
last Saturday night. and there is now
talk of rebuilding the mill and using
gas for power. The drillers says that
the gas is found in regular gas sand
which is an indication that the supply

WHO WOULD MANAGE THEM?
T. +. Byrnes Scouts Idea of Govern
ment Ownership of Railroads.

In an address delivered in New Haven
recently Thomas r. Byrnes, vice presi-
dent Of THE New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad discussed government
ownership as follows.
Many people are advocating govern
ment ownership of transportation COM
panles. What state or city has shown
such skill in the managing of public af-
fairs that it should be trusted with the
problem OF transportation Not PennsyI-
Nanla- where the public officials occupa-
ton seems to be shaking the plum tree
Not Philadelphia. where the honest men
have almost lost hope Not New York
where the divekeeper becomes a boss and
millionaire before his family has time to
move from the rooms above the saloon to
the mansion his new money has secured
Not Chicago. which. with all its boasting
can not keep its streets clean. and where
IN many quarters life is not safe after
dark.
In many places the men who manage
the public affairs have never succeeded in
managing their own and it is those who
most loudly insist that they are the men
to be given places of trust. On the other
hand. the men directing the problems of
transportation in this country today are
generally speaking. men of great ability
and high character. VIII we depose these
men and make this problem. which is so
essentially bound up with all kinds of
business, an additional prize for the pol

west. A number of window lights
were broken in several farm houses
across the creek. Outside Of this no
damage was done excepting to the

There Is hardly a stick left to tell
that there ever was such a house. The
force of the explosion tore a hole in

table and non-discriminating freight
rates into our state, that We most
heartily endorse the action of the

earnest support to bring about objects
sought for as outlined by their reso-

reduced with entire justice to our
much valued railroad properties.
