OLD LIGHTsHIP DOOMED.
One at Sandy Hook Will Pass Out of
Existence.

New York. Oct. 2S.-On December 1 the
old Sandy Hook lightship which for half
a century has marked the western end of
the Transatlantic travel will go out of ex-
istence and the name will never again
appear on the logs of steamers crossing
the ocean. In place of the old ship will
be an estirely new one and on it's side
will be painted the words Ambrose Chan
nell" The old landmark, or rather sea
mark. will disappear and the name that
has for half n century been one of the
most prominent in the annals Of raviga-
ton will disappear forever.
The original lightship was anchored in
its place more than fifty years ago and
the present vessel was put into commits
sion in 1892. When it was decided two
years ago that the present ship would not
last much longer a new one was ordered
and has now been completed. With the
opening of the new Ambrose channel
ships will not approach within three miles
of Sandy Hook and for that reason an
unsentimental lighthouse board has decid-
ed to substitute its name for the old and
honored one of Sandy Hook. The board is
prepared for all sorts of protests from
those who wish to still cling to the old
name. but has fully decided that navi-
gators must use the new one. There will
be no change in the lights or fog signals.

MANY DEEP DRIFTS

Colorado Springs, Col, Oct. 2S.-A
Great Smith automobile has made the
successful ascent of Pixies Peak in the
face of driving snow storm and the
five passengers returned to Colorado
Springs no worse for their hazardous
and trying experience.
The touring car used to make the
ascent was in charge of Mr.. F. c.
Nessley of the Denver Motor Car COM
pany and was one that has been used
by the company all summer for
demonstration purposes. 1t carried be-
sides Mr. Nessley Mr.. ]. w McCluen
of Topeka and Mr. William Collier, Mr..
Frank Greenfield and Mr.. Leo Gabler
of Denver. The start was made in the
early morning and when the party
reached Manitou they could see the
sheets of snow driven by the wind and
swirling around the projections on the
mountain side. The peak was obscured
from view and the masses of clouds
which hung over the range indicated
continuance of the storm which was
then raging. The ordinary traveller
would have turned back and waited for
fairer weather but Mr.. Nessley and his
companions were not to be swerved
from their purpose and the ascent was
begun by making the rather easy drive
up the Ute pass to Green Mountain
Fails and then dropping into the old
wagon road which served for the pas
sage of vehicles before the cog road
was built but which has since been al
lowed to fall into disuse. 1t is only the
adventurous who take this road wheth-
er they are on foot, in a wagon or in Il
good stanch automobile such as Mr..
Nessley drove on this trip. After leav-
ing Green Mountain Falls the road
skirts the mountain until the west side
is reached. The grade is steep all the
way but occasionally the road is de-
cidedly precipitous but the auto tour
lists kept bravely on their way. They
reached the half way house without
encountering very deep drifts of snow
but after that it was a battle with deep
snow and drifts until the top was

ALL GET STREET CAR PASSES.
Members of City Board of Education
Are Favored.

Following the recent agitation for
half fares for school children by the
members of the school board all of
the members of the board have been
furnished with free transportation by
the street railway company 1t is
possible that the street car company
is acting on the defensive as when
the matter was under discussion at a
recent meeting one of the members of
the board mentioned the fact that the
members no longer received free
tickets.
For number of years the street
car company furnished the members
of the school board with free trans
portation but for some reason it was
discontinued last year and as a re-
suit the members of the board have
been compelled to pay regular fare or
else walk. Nothing further has been
done about securing half fare rates
for school children and in all prob
abilities will not be, but the agitation
has resulted in the issuance of free
transportation for the members of the
board.
All of the members of the school
board will not ride free however, as
several of them fear that the anti
pass law applies to street railways
and have returned their little book
lets of free rides. The school chill
dren of the city will not be benefite d
in any way by the agitation. but the
members of the school board will ride
free for awhile at least.

1t was ten minutes after four O'Clock
when the automobile was stopped In
front of the observatory, 14,167 feet in
the air, on the very top of the peak
hub deep in the snow and with great
drifts piled up on all sides. There was
a general sigh of relief and Mr.. Nessley
was warmly congratulated by his com
panions for having attained what every
one believed was the unattainable.
The party returned to Colorado
Springs without incident and the fol-
lowing kilograms were at once sent to
the makers of the car in Topeka:

Went to Wisconsin to Investigate.

The writer of this article has made
personal Investigations and can vouch
for the following:
During a trip to Wisconsin and by
reason of his vacation visiting the San
itorium at Waukesha. he was attracted
by a conversation between a nurse and
a patient, who apparently was all
was trying to persuade him to try
Muco- Solvent for a bad case of Quinsy
Sore Throat, and the. patient, after
some persuasion, consented. with the
result that to the writer's personal
knowledge the patient prolonged his
stay and went away cured, not neglect
ing, however, to take a dozen packages
with him. Further inquiry developed
the fact that in the towns of Madison
and Grantsburg, all in Wisconsin,
Muco-Solvent had most effectually
stamped out the diphtheria plague. In
Grantsburg, for instance, out of it's $50
people, Diphtheria claimed as it's vic
Tins 50 people. Muco-Solvent was then
employed, and not another death took
place.
At Polar, Wis, whole families died:
recoveries were rare exceptions. The
use of Muco-Solvent Immediately put
an end to the fatalities. In the lumber
camps of the North, they would as
soon think of being without Muco-Soi-
vent as food or water. 1t is used by
them for all acute throat troubles

for $25 on him, but he had been warned
by other graduates of the university
who had been victimized and he turned
Humphrey over to the police.
The arrest was made while Hum
phrey was with Sailor, who had led
him to believe he was taking him out
to treat him to drink before cashing
the check.
All of the checks so far as discovered
had been signed by Humphrey and
drawn on the Dayton (Ohio) Savings
and Trust bank. UP to July Humphrey
had worked as an agent at Dayton for
the Chalmers-Detroit Automobile COM
pany. At the time he was in Dayton
he had an account in the bank, but
drew out all the money before leaving.
Humphrey denied that he intended to
swindle his former classmates. He said
his mother died in July and left him
considerable money which he believed
had been deposited with the Ohio bank.

Acid And Alkd!i
In the Stomach
Digests the Food Naturally If in
Right Proportion; If Not,
Then DySpeDSia

Acid and alkali make up the liquid
known as gastric juice, which digests
your food.
If through abuse of the stomach, or
weakness of blood or through scores
of other causes this gastric juice is
not made up correctly of acid and al
kali, your stomach cannot digest food.
Such a stomach then acts as a pit
where the food lies, ferments, decays,
is thrown off at last either into the in
testines or is vomited from the system.
If thrown into the intestines a large
proportion of it is taken up and passed
into the blood, for the intestines are
covered on the inside surfaces with
millions of little mouths which are
placed there 10 suck up nourishment for
the blood.
You may readily see that If instead
of good rich nourishment, there is vile
poisonous fermented bile and acid, these
same little mouths suck some of it by
necessity and pass it into the blood.
The blood in turn throws it off and the
system is Immediately placed in an i'm
perfect state.
The blood is weakened. the tissues
lose strength. the skin becomes dis
eased and man in general suffers in q
score of places.
Then again the blood furnishes gas
trio juice to the stomach. for when the
gastric juice is not needed for digestive
purposes it goes back TO the blood.
nerves along the Alimentary Canal and
in the mouth signal the brain for help
and the blood Immediately furnishes
sufficient gastric juice to do the work
we'll and quickly.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into
the stomach, balance the gastric juice,
digest the food, are taken up by the
blood, purifies it, and when the food
comes again to the stomach a natural
gastric Juice of right proportion greets
it and does it's work perfectly. After
a time these little tablets restore Ma
ture, build up the gastric juice and
there is no longer dyspepsia.

FLEECED HIS CLASSMATES.
Is the Charge Against a Graduate of
Cornell.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-F. r. Humphrey a
graduate of Cornell university class of
'04 has been arrested in Chicago on
charge of fleeing former classmates
by means of worthless checks.
Humphrey is 80 years old and a son
of the late L. A. Humphrey, a wealthy
shoe merchant of Elmira, N. Y. While
in college he was editor-in-chief of the
Cornellian and the class book and was
a member of the Delta Upsilon fra
ternity. The police say he has
swindled old college chums in Chicago
and other western cities out of more
than $4,000 since August.
He was arrested on complaint of

had left the narrow roadway there
would have been little left of the auto

but the car didn't skid and it didn't

Two Views Of Federal Incorporation.

TWO views or Federal incorporation.
The incorporation Of industrial and other
enterprises doing an interstate business.
which has been urged by Mr.. Roosevelt
in messages and speeches, has a new ad-
vocate in Frank A. Vanderlip, formerly
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury, who
expresses surprise that the Presidents
recommendations 10 Congress have at
tracted so little attention. The framing
and passage OF a Federal Incorporation
law, Mr.. Vanderlip says goes to the very
heart OF the corporation problem. Such
law, in his opinion, would be welcomed
by the corporations and the public. as
affording uniformity In the legal consti-
tuition Of corporations. and as Insuring the
stability Of investments. Mr.. Vanderlip
evidently assumes the competency OF
Congress to enact a Federal incorpora-
tlon law. but in doing so overlooks the
principal difficulty in the way OF It's pas
sage. which is a constitutional one An
other objection to Federal incorporation
has been strongly expressed by Henry
Clews, the New York banker in a re-
cent address,
The great power concentrated in the Presidents
hands by Congress has made the great corpora.

institutions. ambitious and eager 10 control the Fed

their enormous capital and resources more and more
bold and determined in their efforts to control the
Presidency. If indeed that IS possible and this mo-
tive undcrlies a great and growing amount Of cor
rupsion in our national politics.
To this It may be replied that If COR
porations are 10 be subjected to public
control. responsibility must be lodged
somewhere for their regulation, and that
the exercise of responsibility necessarily
carries with It the possibility that the agent
by which it is exercised may be corrupted.
Yet Mr.. Clews has stated a fact that must
be ever borne in mind by those who advc-
cate the increase Of governmental regu-
lation Of business, namely, that the
greater the amount Of regulation, the
greater the concern Of the interests af-
fected in having plant government The
struggle to keep our governments free
from the eorrupting Influences Of wealth
is one that Is growing, and must be con-
