MT. Lambert of Waterbury.
All Remedies had Failed to Cure Him Until he
 Took the Dr.. Richards Dyspepsia Tabets.

If your blood has been impoverished by weakness and headaches from dyspepsia, do not neglect to treat yourself at once with good tonic and digestant. You will find both in the Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Mir George E. Lambert of No. 70 South Main street, Waterbury, Conn.,, says:
 T have used Dr Richards Dyspep- sia Tablets for six weeks and have found them all they are represented to be. I can say with all sincerity and truthfulness that they cured me of serious stomach trouble, some thing all other remedies have failed to do. A friend recommended, these tablets. l had no faith but went to Apothecaries Hall and got a bottle. l noticed a marked improvement after taking the first bottle. After the sec ond bottle was entirely cured of all my old complaints and the beauty of it is that the cure has been a per manent one, thanks to Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets.
 For sale by all druggists. Better to say Richards" twice. Price fifty cents per bottle. Made by Dr Rich ards Dyspepsia Tablet Association, 53 Worth street, New York.

No better evidence of business ac- tivity could be found than the last quarterly statement of the United States Steel corporation, says Banker Clews. During the three months ending June net earnings were over S40,000,000, or two and a half mill lions greater than any other quarter. During the six months ending June the net profits were s76,750,O ,O00, promising to surpass the best pre- vious half-year record; hence the dividend upon the common stock. So far as can be seen the Steel man. agement appears to be amply justi- fled in their confidence in the fu- ture. The year of 1906 is certain to be the most prosperous in its ex- istence, and hopeful expectations are now indulged in for 1907. Fortu- nately the business has been man. aged on strictly conservative basis, and these profits were made in a period when prices were much lower and more reasonable than during the previous boom. Thus far this great corporation, which has been under prolonged criticism and controls about 50 or so per cent of the coun- try's product. has been a steadyinR influence in the iron market, and if it's present policy is continued should gradually establish itself in public confidence. The demand for steel products is constantly widening, and American railroads are certain to be very large purchasers during the next twelve months in order to satis- fy the requirements of new construe- tion and extensive contemplated i'm proyements. Our steel trade, howev- CT. it should not be forgotten. is sub ject to violent fluctuations. Railroad and structural work are still the chief avenues of consumption. and any abatement in activity in these quarters would be sharply felt in the demand for steel. It is only about three years ago that the company failed to entirely earn its preferred dividend

The committee of five practical
 steam railway officials detailed by
 the American Railway Master Me chanics' association to report on cleo tric versus steam railways, after a thorough investigation in Great Brit ain and elsewhere, concludes that where there is sufficient diversity of traffic it will pay steam railways to work their suburban and interurban traffic electrically, but in such cases the traffic should have its separate tracks. The statement is somewhat modified by the qualification that flew situations will figure out profit ably with the combination service"- that is. the employment of both steam and electricity. As to the rela- tive cost of operation with electricity or steam the committee reports that there is very little accurate informa- tion of value. The London Times says that it may be reassuring to English railway managers to know that such representative committee of American railway experts, after carefully investigating the subject, practically says that American ex- perience can give no better solution of the problem, and that the question of steam versus electricity for inter- urban and suburban traffic is no near CT a solution in America than it is in England.

orloin of Common Phrase.

In time when deer were common In England deer ''scrapes" were sharply marked hollows between trees which had been worn down by the feet of many stags and does. Sometimes these much-depressed paths made by deer were not easy to step out of. or pleas ant to slip into unawares. Hence it is thought the common phrase "get into a scrape."

Here is another whack at Ameri- can products. The British govern ment has directed that henceforth convicts in British prisons shall be fed only on colonial canned meats. American food of that kind is not to be given them. The action taken can be interpreted in at least. two ways, but it was doubtless intended as compliment to colonial packers.

There are the two celebrated tow
ers Of the imperial city, the Bell tow
err and the Drum tower. AS to the
casting of the bell in the former there
is this legend: There had been two
unsuccessful attempts and the life Of
the founder was threatened in case of
third failure. His daughter discov-
cred by occult means that nothing but
the blood of virgin mingled with
the molten metal would insure sue
cess So at the next casting she sac
rificed her life by throwing herself
into the molten metal, leaving only
one shoe behind. The casting was
perfect. But when the bell was first
struck "all were horror-stricken as,
after the heavy boom of the bell,
came low wall, as Of girl in ag-
ony, distinctly saying the word 'heish,
shoe And to this day people when
they hear it, say, There's poor Ko-ai's
voice calling out for her shoe. -

No Pa..e, for Kansas Voters.

Topeka, Kan, Nov at was
stated here Thursday at the Republi
can headquarters that the railroads
have refused to grant the usual cour-
tesy of free passes to persons desiring
to 20 home to vote at the coming
election. This will affect principally
employees at State institutions and stu
dents in the universities and colleges.
It Is said that all the railroads have
united in this move, and that 1t is
the preliminary step in the complete
elimination Of free passes in Kansas
to take effect January /. next, antici-
pating the proposed state anti-pass
law.

MANY VESSELS WRECKED
Great Damage Done by Gale and
Sea off Nova Scotia.
On Land Telegraph and Telephone
Wires Blown Down Throughout
tn Maratime Provinces.

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 6.-Dispatches
Monday have been pouring into this
city bringing news of vessels wrecked
or in distress, of wires Frustrated and
of damage done by gale and sea along
the coasts of Nova Scotia, Cape Bre-
ton, New Brunswick and Prince Ed
ward Island. Four vessels were
driven ashore; another, after having
everything movable on deck washed
away, was forced to put back to the
port from which she had sailed, and
the steamer Turret Bell, which went
aground on the north side Of Prince
Edward Island last week, was driven
farther in shore and will probably be
total wreck.
The storm was most violent in
Northumberland strait. Two schoon-
ers and one bark were swept aground
in this strait and third schooner was
wrecked near the eastern entrance
The Norwegian bark Adeona tried
to weather the gale off Rexton, N. B.,
but dragged her anchors and ground
ed on North reef. She sprang leak
and. according to the latest informa-
ton received here, the II men con-
stituting her crew were still on board,
but in imminent danger of being
swept overheard or dying from eX-
posure. The tremendous seas made 1t
impossible for any vessels to go to
her assistance.
Near the same place the schooner
Alexander, lumber laden, went ashore.
The Windsor, N. s., schooner One
ga, after being partly dismantled by
the storm, brought up on the rocks
at Fox point, on the northern coast OF
Nova Scotia. Her crew of four men
were rescued, almost overcome by ex-
haustion and exposure, soon after the
vessel grounded.
A Newfoundland schooner, the iden-
tity of which has not been yet learn
ed, was wrecked Sunday at Camp
bells Cove, at the eastern end OF
Prince Edward Island. The crew
succeeded in getting ashore safely.
Numerous fishing boats on the north
side of Primo Edward Island were
broken up during the gale.
On land, telegraph and telephone
poles and wires throughout the mari
time provinces were blown down, and
it was not until Monday that com
munication could be restored.
