Cures Dyspepsia;
Trial Is Free

1t is popular mistake that only
wealthy people who eat rich and
highlyspiced foods suffer from dys-
pepsia, or, as it is also known, indi-
gestion. The laborer in the street,
the worker in the field also finds him
self victim of this disorder. Among
the very greatest sufferers from it are
women.
Dyspepsia is indicated by constant
ieeiing of laziness, by loss of appetite and
troubled sleep,zby sour stomach and dis
tress after eating. by bad complexion and
luSterlesS eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure for
this trouble than DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
successfully for twenty years. This great
herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark,
OF Buffalo, Ia. of dyspepsia and sour
stomach that he had had for forty years.
Dr.. Caldwell's- Syrup Pepsin. 1t cured
Joel Adams, of Montgomery, Ala, after
suffering continuously for sixteen months.
These are only a few Of the many. But
grand remedy, as 1t can be bought at any
drug store in a 50-cent or 81 bottle.
Your very neighbors are probably life
long users of DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.
but II you want to know without expense
what 1t will do for you personally. send
your name to DR.. Caldwell and he will be
glad to send you a free trial bottle He
is actually anxious to have you make q
test of his remedy.
Thousands of families everywhere keep
1t in the house against such an emer-
gency as constipation, sour stomach, in
digestion, biliousness, dyspepsia, heart
burn. torpid liver, ETC., which may come
on member of the family any day. It
Is pleasant to the taste, acts gently and
does not grippe. It Is the great children's
laxative tonic.

INDEPENDENTS WILL
FIGHT PHONE TRUST

New York, Dec. Independent
telephone interests have an available
fighting fund of 100000 subscribed
to do battle against the Bell telephone
interests, wherever the latter at.
tempts to wipe out competition.
This was the gist of testimony by
D. A. wilson, of New York, prominent
ly identified with the independent In.
terests, at the state investigation of
telephone and telegraph companies,
now being held here.
"The disposition on the part of the
Bell company is to annihilate the
Independent companies all over the
country said Mr.. Wilson.
THE National Association of Inde-
pendent Telephone compares has
created fund of 100000 To fight
the Bell people wherever they try to
wipe out competition. This was form
ed three months ago. The way the
Bell company deteriorates the inde-
pendent companies is to buy a COM
pany here and there, thus breaking up
the chain. There are some S,OOO,OOO
telephones in New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut that cannot en-
ter New York City because there is
no independent company here"

RAILROAD MERGER
is VOLUNTARILY DISSOLVED

New York, Dec. 2-Six thousand
five hundred miles of railroad form
ing the st. Louis & San Francisco
Railroad company changed hands in
New York yesterday by its severance
from the Rock Island company, with
which it was merged in 1903.
The purchasers are B. F. Yoakum,
former chairman of the Frisco-Roc
Island executive committee. and B. l..
Winchell, former president of the
Rock Island, who now becomes pres
ident of the Frisco. 1t is understood
that Messrs Winchell and Yoakum
have as their associates in the deal
some of the leading capitalists of the
middle west, including Adolphus
Busch and F. Estus J. Wade of st.
Louis.
All accounts agree that the disso-,
luton, which was entirely voluntary,
was brought about by fear of federal
intervention. The Rock Island and
Frisco lines parallel and tap each 9TH
er at various points, and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the1 in
terstate commerce commission had
taken cognizance Of the fact.
Another interesting phase of the
transaction, is the current belief that
the Frisco will form some alliance
with the lines of Edwin Hawley, the
newcomer in the railroad world, who

HE SIGNS ORDER PRoLoNG-
ING PARLIAMENT

London, Dec. 2.-The House OF
Commons by a vote of 349 to 1874
today accepted the resolution of
Premier Asquith, to the effect that
in rejecting the governments budget
bill the House of Lords had commit
ted breach of the constitution and
usurped the rights of the House of
Commons
Premier Asquith, who was given
"a wild demonstration when he arose
to speak, said the budget represent
ed the deliberate work of an over
whelming majority Of the representa-
tives Of the people.
THE whole fabric had been over
thrown by body which admittedly
had no power to increase or decrease
single tax" With much emphasis
the Premier declared @the House of
Commons would prove unworthy OF
its tradition II it allowed single. day
to pass without making it clear that
it did not mean to brook this grave
indignity and arrogant usurpation of
its rights. Parliament. in closing
without passing the financial act, and
until fresh porvision could be made,
necessitates what could be supplied
only by borrowing. It was obvious
that the action of the House of Lords
was to create the largest deficit yet
faced"
The Premier then announced that
King Edward had accepted the ad-
vice. of parliament.
All preliminaries incident to the big
political battle were being cleared
away this afternoon at Sandringham,
where King Edward held meeting
with the privy council, during which
he signed an order prolonging parli-
ament until January 10, 1910. This is
a mere formality as the present house
will have been dissolved before that
time. The center of interest tt -Eas
