Special to The Graphic.
 Little Rock, May 10, 2 D. m.- This morning just before adjourn ment for the noon hour and after hearing several witnesses in the case of the city of Pine Bluff vs. the Pine Bluff Water & Light Co, now pending in the Federal court, Judge Jacob Treiber severely ex- coriated the water company for it's inadequate service and said that he would see to it that the people of Pine Bluff are given an adequate service. He therefore directed the attorneys to get together and see if a satisfactory agreement could not be reached between the city and the water company. A con- ference was held during the noon hour, at which time it is reported that Attorney Woodbridge for the water company offered to build an entirely new plant, but he declined to build it in accordance with the plans and specifications proposed by City Engineer Parks. on the grounds that they were too elabor- ate and entirety unnecessary The conference, therefore, -came to naught and at the afternoon session Judge irieber resumed taking tes- timony in the case.

Office Stays Until Money Runs Out.


 'These sums manifestly are in- sufficient to enable the war de- partment to continue the engineers offices permanently, but they are enough to maintain them until tue adjournment of the first session of the 6Oth congress, before which time it should be possible to in- duce congress to appropriate money to maintain the offices indefinitely.
 ''Of course, the river and harboc bill is passed only once in each two years, but often emergencies and defciences are cared for by special acts or amendments to larger bills, and this should be the course of procedure in this in- stance
 'I find that interest in the in land waterways commissions pro- ceedings are deep and significant, and believe that the proceedings or that body will make it possible to procure from congress concessions otherwise impossible of granting. The commission will visit so many parts of the country, meet so many representative men and excite such lively interest in the improvement of the rivers that all legitimate proposals looking toward the bet terment of the nations water courses should appeal strongly to the senators and representatives.
 If the people of Arkansas at tack this matter in the proper spirit they will win. They will retain the United States engineers offices there, where they belong-at the center of operations in that state, which has more miles of navigab1e rivers than any other in the union. y

business men of Little Rock. It has been years since similar service on the river was in effect. At that time the river was the only means of trans portation, for it was before the day of railroads in Arkansas Since the ad- vent of the steam lines, however, the river has been abandoned and Little Rock shippers and business men have depended entirely upon the railroads,
 About six months ago there was a general shortage Of freight cars throughout the country. Freight WAS conSested everywhere, and within a short time the congestion had assum- ed critical proportions. Cotton was held all through Arkansas, and at bit tie Rock alone it is estimated thous ands of bales were left to rot on ac- count of the inability of the rail- roads to supply cars.
 The lnman Cotton Company of this city had about 5000 bales of cotton here. Tn order to relieve this conges- ton the company attempted to have steamers sent up to Little Rock from Memphis. It was thought then that the river was not deep enough. The steamer Lucille Rowland was finally brought to this city, however, and a cargo of 1000 bales of cotton was se- cured. Two more trips were made by the Rowland, on each of which the | cargo of cotton was taken out of Lit tie Rock.
 The steamer 5. S. Brown, also own
 cd by the Arkansas River Packet Company, one of the largest boats on
 the Mississippi river, was brought up
 the river as far as Little Rock, afte.
 improvements had been made in the
 river between here and it's mouth, and
 the fact was fully established that
 steamer traffic between Little Rock
 and Memphis was possible.

REGULAR SERVICE
 BY RIVER BOAT Agent Darragh of the Ar kansas River Packet Com pany Announces Freight Schedule.
EQUAL FREIGHT RATE
Inauguration of Regular River Service Between Pine Biuii and Little Rock Highi, Elates Capital City Busi- ness Men.

CoHlHieHciASl next 1ueSdaN night, when the stebmer Lucille Rowland leaves Memphis for I sx Rock, per- manent steamboat sss,~ Zee between this city and Nsmpals will be inau gurated, says therLittle Rock Gazette.
 The service will include one steam CT week between the two cities. The announcement of the permanent ser vice and scehdule of boats was made yesterday by Finley J. Darrash of this city, who is the local agent for the Arkansas River Packet Company, which company owns the Lucille Now land and other Mississippi river boats, and which will control the service be- tween Little Rock and Memphis.
 The schedule of boats between Lit tie Rock and Memphis will be boat two places, leaving Memphis every Tuesday night and arrive at Little Rock Thursday night, leaving here the next morning for the return trip. The steamer Lucille Rowland, which has already made three trips to Littlc Rock in the past four weeks, securing uled to ply between Little Rock and Memphis on the new service. The Rowland is considered large enough to handle the business out of Little Rock at present. On her first trip to this city 1000 bales of cotton were taken out at one load, which demon strates her ability to carry a heavy load.
 It is planned to operate the Now land between Memphis and Little Rock until the new boat which has been ordered by the Arkansas River Packet Company for service on the Arkansas river is completed and ready for operation.
 The new boat will be built on the lines of the $. s. Brown, one of tbA most modern boats on the Mississippi river, with a steel hull and all of the modern equipments. It will be built especially for service on the Arkan- sas, and is the direct result of the de cision of the packet company to op- crate boats on regular schedule be- tween here and Memphis.
 An Equal Rate.
 Agent Darragh anonunced yesterday | that the packet company had decided to install the same rates on traffic for Little Rock merchants and shippers as is given Pine Bluff. The merchants and shippers of the city have already been notified of the service, and it is thought that the first boat on the new schedule will both bring in and take out large load of merchandise. Ths merchants have shown an inclination to favor river transportation, and many inquiries have already been made as to rates, time of shipments, etc.
 Shipments which left St. Louis for Little Rock last night via the Missis- sippi and Arkansas rivers will arrive at Little Rock next Thursday evening. It takes one week to make the trip between the two cities.
 The installation of regular river steamer service between Little Rock and Memphis is considered of the ut most importance by she shippers and

Catarrh of
The Stomach
A Most Dangerous Disease, Which
Causes Serious Results, Unless
Properly Treated.

Catarrh of the Stomach is very
common and is known as one Of the
most obstinate diseases, which, when
neglected or Improperly treated with
cheap patent medicines, tonics, drugs,
pills, and other secret quack RENE
dies results in a broken down consti-
tuition and often consumption and
death.
Catarrh of the Stomach, like every
other disease of the stomach except
cancer, is the result Of poor diges-
ton. The digestive organs have be-
come weak, there is a lack of gastric
juice, your food is only half digested,
and as q result you become affected
with loss of appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, heartburn. vomiting,
waterbrash, tenderness at pit OF stom'
ach, Shiny tongue, bad taste in the
mouth constipation, pain in limbs
and face, sleeplessness, nausea, beich-
ing of gas, diarrhoea, sick headaches,
dizziness, mental depre ssiOn, nervous
weakness, and many other common
symptoms.
II your stomach cannot digest the
food you eat then the stomach needs
a rest, as that is the only way you can
get rid Of your catarrh, but in the
meantime your body needs plenty OF
nourishment, because you must 1--we
and in order to live you must eat, and
if you must eat, your food must be
properly digested, and if your stom-
ach is too weak to do the work, then
you must get substitute that will
do the work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
| only known substitute that Will digest
your food as we'll as any healthy
stomach. They contain vegetable and
fruit essences, aseptic pepsin (goV'
test), golden seal and diastase, the
very elements necessary to digest all
foods.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not
a secret remedy and for that very rea-
son thousands of physicians all over
the United States recommend them to
their patients for catarrh of the stom
ach, dyspepsia of all kinds, and other
stomach troubles. Experiments and
tests have proven that one grain of
the active principle contained in these
tablets will digest 5000 grains of food.

the form of pleasant tasting tablets or

cent boxes at all drug stores.

VE-YEAR-OLD GIRL
HAS PLENTY OF NERVE
Broke Arm and Ran for the
Doctors Office.
MOTHER WAS FRUSTRATED

HagerstOwn, Ind, Nov. 4.-Gertrude
Shuler, twelve years old, who fell and
broke her right arm above the wrist,
showed much nerve. The accident
caused her mother to become pros
trated. The little girl ran to the Of
flee of the family physician, and, not
finding him there, went TO his resi-
dence. He was not at home, and the
nervy sufferer ran to the office of an
other physician, who examined her
hurt and found a fracture of both
bones of the forearm. She was plac-
ed on the operating table, and when
her mother found her she was under
the influence of ether and the broken
bones were set and bandaged.
