To make up for the 6-inch shortening OF

inches long, making the total length of

POLICE SEARCH FOR lMPosTER
Bogus %nspector" Makes Many Calls
and Insults Several Women on
Union Avenue

Police are searching for a man who
represents himself to be an Edison
Electric company inspector. He gained
entrance to numerous homes on Union
avenue yesterday and insulted several
women.
With coils of wire over his shoulder
the inspector would call at a house.
He would then explain that he wanted
to examine the apparatus in the resi-
dence and thus gain admission. When
he found that women were unprotect-
ed he would insult them.
1t took only a short time for the
police to discover that the man was
not connected with the Edison COM
pany and that he was an impostor.
In one house a wor-0n threatened to
shoot the alleged inspector and he re-
treated.

GREAT NORTHERN
FACES THE COURT
HILLS ROAD CHARGED WITH
REBATING
First Case Of the Kind In the Country
Alleged Favoritlsm Shown
Several Eastern
Concerns
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, March T-The
first rebate case to come to trial in this
country in which the defendants are
charged with giving and accepting re-
bates in violation of the Elkins law
began today in the United States court
here before Judge Holland. The In
dictments to be presented to the jury
are those against the Great Northern
Railway company, which company is
charged with offering rebates to r. D.
Wood & Co. of this city; G. e. Camp
bell, it's local agent; L. w. Lake, New
York agent for the Mutual Transit
company; Walter Stuart, George and
Richard Wood, members of the firm of
r. d. Wood & Co., and Paul Jarvis,
local agent for the Mutual Transit COM
pany who is charged with offering
rebate to the National Essence of Cof-
fee company.
The rebate in the Wood case, it is
alleged, was given on a shipment of
1130 tons of iron pipe from Florence and
Camden, N. j., to Winnipeg, and 200
tons from Emaus, Pa, to the same
point. The published rate was 491a
cents per 100 pounds, but it is charged
the company obtained rate of 441e
cents. The 1130 tons were shipped over
the Baltimore &, Ohio to Fairport, o.,
thence by the Mutual Transit company
across the great lakes to Duluth, and
thence by the Great Northern to Win
nipeg. The 200 tons from Emaus were
sent to Buffalo over the Reading rail-
road and shipped on the vessels of the
Mutual Transit company to Duluth.
The full freight rate was paid, but 1t is
charged that Wood e. Co. afterwards
received rebate of $780,
The National Essence of Coffee COM
pany, it is alleged, received rebates on
two shipments of essence from this city
to Winnipeg. The first consignment
was shipped over the Reading road to
Buffalo, thence by the Mutual Transit
company's line to Duluth and from
Duluth via the Great Northern to Win
nipeg. The second shipment was con-
signed to Minneapolis. 1t was shipped
over the same route to Duluth, but
from the latter point it was sent to
Minneapolis over the Northern Pacific.
The rebate received by the company
was given, 1t is said, IN the form of
reduction for carriage from the COM
pany's warehouse in this city to the
Reading station, and amounted in the
aggregate to less than $40.
The Wood case was the first to be
taken up, and on motion of District
Attorney Thompson the indictment
against George Wood was quashed.

begun a number of motions in the cases

EATEN OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME
How n Confirmed DyspeptIc Developed
an Appetite Like COrn-husI<-
er's and Cleaned Out Every
thing in Sight

The wife of a leading druggist of
Des Moines tells how her brother was
changed from a dyspeptic without ap-
petite to prodiglous eater.
my brother who is a lawyer in Chi
cago, came to visit me and 1 hardly
knew him on his arrival, he was so
thin and run down. l had not seen
him for years and was much alarmed
at his appearance. He told me not to
worry as he had been in this condition
for years as the result of chronic dys-
pepsia. I asked him what he had done
for 1t, and he said he had done every
thing-taken every remedy he had ever
heard Of and consulted doctors without
number; none of them helped him. 1
asked him If he ever took Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and he said he
hadn't and what was more he wouldn't
He had sworn off taking medicine Of
any kind.
IT had my husband bring home a
box from the store and I actually made
him take one or two of the tablets
after he had eaten. They made him
feel so much better that he offered no
further objection. He had not taken
the one box before he was greatly i'm
proved, and three or four boxes cured
him of dyspepsia and gave him a Won
dertul appetite. He came near eating
US out of house and home. My, but it
did me good to see him eat. He gained
fifteen pounds before he returned home
and he writes me that he has not been
troubled with dyspepsia since"
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened ston-
achs of their work of digestive action.
Their component parts are Identical
with those of the digestive fluids and
secretions of the stomach and thew
simply take up the grind and carry on
the work just the same as a good
strong, healthy stomach would do it.
On this account Stuarts Dyspepsis
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects, They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbances in
the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tained in what is eaten and carry ont
natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance of the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus
relieving the stomach of it's work.
enable it to recuperate and regain its
normal health and strength. Nature
repairs the worn and wasted tissues
just as she heals and kits the bone of
a broken limb, which Is of course moi
used during the process of repair.
