Heartburn Comes
From the Stomach

The heart IS an organ that people are
not inclined to tri1e with, but a person
may have futtering of the heart, heart
burn and similar troubles and yet have
Q perfectly sound heart. Nine times
out of ten the disorder comes from the
stomach through dyspepsia, constipa
ton or some other digestive ai1ment.
So instead of taking "heart cures"
Or other such things that contain stimulants
md narcotics. take q harmless but effective
remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which
will correct the digestive disorder andsi In that
way cure the supposed heart trouble. The remedy
Is guaranteed TO 90 this, and you can obtain Il
there are about 100 doses to the latter the cure
will cost you but q few cents. .
9 The experience OF Mrs. Knight, OF Bellview,
Tenn, in this regard should be of interest to all
who suffer from heartburn, etc She writes that
for five years she suffered from indigestion and
constipation, from fainting spells, futtering at
the heart and heartburn. She couldn't eat meat
or anything seasoned with meat. DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin was recommended to her and
after few doses the indigestion and constpa-
ton was relieved and the fainting spells and
heart trouble soon disappeared She takes a
dose Of the remedy after eating and now never
feels any Ill effects no matter what she eats. II

There 10 no question that DR.. Caldwelis Syr-

made an attempt to break out Their
effort was vain and was attended with
a heavy loss of life. After making a

UnificatiOn of Freight Rates
Said to Be Possible.
Nickle Plate Official Thinks
Problem Will Be Solved.
MUCH MUST BE DONE.
Trade Conditions Form an I'M.
pOrtant Factor.
Other Items of Interest In
Railway Circles.

James Webster, general freight
agent of the Nickel Plate. who was a
member of the joint committee that
did the preliminary work of drafting
a plan for a uniform classification, is
confident of a practical solution of the
problem involved. In his opinion
it is only a question of time before the
classification demanded of the rail-
roads by the interstate commerce
commission will be worked out.
The committee, after three months
hard work, laid the foundation for a
notable tariff superstructure, it is be-
Ifeved. The pioneers in the uniform
ity program not only enjoy the dis
tinction of having had their work ac-
cepted, but of receiving favorable
comment from executive officials.
In substance, the preliminary report
expressed the belief that a uniffcation
of the description of all articles in
each of the three classifications can
be effected as soon as certain detail is
worked out. 1t also takes the posi-
ton that general uniformity can be
had as to minimum carload weights
and as to substantially all classifiea-
tons.
A big consideration in this revo1u-
tienizing process has been trade con-
ditions. The unification necessarily
means advances in some rates and re-
auctions in others. Largely for this
reason it is something that can not be
brought about suddenly
In the statistical report made to ex-
ecutive officials, ten classes are shown
in one table and fifteen in another
From this it can not be determined,
however. how many there will be in
the windup. 1t might be twelve or
possibly less than ten. There is some
speculation as to what members of

ord established two weeks earlier.
According to the report of the Ameri-
can Railway association there were
413,33S idle cars. an increase of 3D.
TIA over April Is. The total increase
for April was lO5,259 cars. Last
October there was shortage of cars
amounting to S6,811. OF the 413,33S
cars 147.S26 were box cars; 24,30S
were fiat cars. and lS6,726 coal cars.
The report represents 153 railroads,
with an aggregate freight car equip
ment Of about 100000. This means
that 10 per cent of the country's cars
are now stationary.

WANTS MORE LIGHT.
Merchants Association Has Not De-
cided About Increased Freight Rate.

Merchants Association Has Not De-
cided About Increased Freight Rate.
New York, May 1S.-Committees of
the Merchants association and of the
board of trade and transportation
have held additional meetings to con-
creases in the trunk line territory
which it is said have practically been
agreed upon, to go into effect October
1. The management of the produce
exchange also has under advisem ent
the attitude which that association
will assume toward the movement. In
neither case, however, has any definite
decision been reached.
The executive committee of the
Merchants association had before it
the matter, issued last week by the
Illinois Manufacturers association, and
a special meeting of the board Of man
ayers has been called for tomorrow to
consider the subject.
The committee on railroad trans
portation of the board of trade and
transportation has decided that the
proposal to advance freight rates had
not yet been placed in sufficiently
tangible shape for formal considera-
held on May %, by which time the
committee thought more specific in
formation might be had as to what
railroads propose in the way of freight
rate increases.
While in neither ease was a vote
taken, it seems probable that the
board of trades committee is opposed
to any increase, while the executive
committee Of the Merchants associa-
ton is inclined to regard the question
as an open one. 1t is known that
some individual members of the asso-
citation regard the proposed increases
as reasonable.
Many business men. it is said. in
we'll informed quarters are impressed
with the claim of the railroads that the
business Of the country at large would
be greatly improved by a moderate
advance in freight rates, which would
add materially to the purchasing
power of the railroads and enable them
to order freely all classes Of supplies
which they are buying now only in
hand to mouth fashion. The railroads,
it is estimated, purchase at least half
of the iron and steel output Of the
country and more than half Of the
rough lumber,

Errors figured prominently again
yesterday in the game against the
Tripletts. The locals secured ten good
healthy wallops from the veteran Nor
ton but they were widely scattered. Six
but four hits off Craig. But the Irish
man was wild, walking five and hitting
one. Better luck is due today. Forces
ter is due to perform.
The Webb City fences must be quite
close in. Three home runs in two days
is pretty good and couldn't happen if
the fences were far, far out. Boies
yesterday hit one over the left field
fence which at the point where the ball
went over was less than the required
235 feet and he was only allowed Two
bases.
During the eleven games he umpired
in Oklahoma City Alloway benched
four men. Jack Love and Lew Runkei
were both benched in the same game.
Then Jack Holland was the next VIC
tim. Pitcher Bolin of Wichita was the
last man to be relieved from further
playing. Jack Holland doesn't exactly
love Mr.. Alloway and did not hesitate
to express the following opinion of
His Umps": why, 1 know what this
fellow Alloway is. We all tried to get
Shiveley to refuse him Job this year,
but Shiveley is still keeping him. There
will be trouble in the league as long as
he is here. Why, last year was act
ually ashamed to take some of the
games that we won on the home
grounds with him umpiring. I don't
want him at all there this year."
A query from Peg Robbins, secretary
of the local team: "If it taken ten hits
for Topeka to make one run of the
webb CITY team how many hits would
1t take to win the gamer
Red Morton certainly was lucky
pitcher yesterday. 1t isn't very often
that a twirler can stand a lombard
ment of ten hits and let his opponents
down with one run.
Landreth got his first trial at first
base Yesterday after Cooley had been
sent to the bench for protesting de-
cision which favored Webb City. The
big fellow performed in admirable
style and although an error is chalked
up against him it came during his

his letting a ground ball get away
from him.
