BAD STOMACH CURED
IN FIFTEEN MINUTES

If reports are authentic, people of
Hammond who suffer from dyspepsia
ando Their stomach troubles are get
ting tired of taking Preparations con-
tanning pepsin, because pepsin simply
digests the food artifcially Pepsin
relieves, 1t never cures-the principle
is wrong-the care is before the horse.
And remember. pepsin only digests
animal food; 1t has not effect on
starchy food. such as potatoes. rice.
oatmeal. bread, etc.
There is just one way to cure dys-
pepsia and stomach disorders. trivial
or serious. and that is first to cleanse
and purify the stomach and bowels,
and to tone up and put energy into
the stomach walls, so that they will
be able to properly mix the food with
the natural digestive juices of the
stomach.
That is just what Mi-o-na tablets do

SUPPLY
COMES FROM WELLS
1nclement Weather Delays Schmidt
Bros. Construction Company From
Work on Crib and Power House,
and Have Been Unable to Work on
Building for Some Time.

The town of Gary will be supplied
gan in about two months from today,
according to superintendent william
Luscombe, of the water department of
the Gary Heat, Water & Light COM
pany. At that time the million dollar
tunnel system and pumping station Will
be put into operation. the wells Will be
abandoned, and this city will have one
of the finest water works in the coun-
try.
April Is has been set as the day when
the water will be turned into the crib
at the lake and after flowing through
the tunnel to the pumping station it
will be sent through the mains to sup
ply the city for many years to come.
May He Delayed.
1t may be possible, however. that If
the present Indictment weather con-
tinues the Schmidt Bros. Construction
company will be unable to complete the
work on the power house by that time.
They have been unable to work on the
building for the past three days owing
to the rain and cold spell, and it may
be that the delays will prove serious.
The tunnel part of the construction
work is now entirely finished, however,
and is ready to operate any time that
the pumping station in Jecerson park
can handle the water.
Secured From Wells at Present.
At the present time the water for the
city is secured from wells which have
been bored in the sand near the pres
ent pumping station in the mills There
seems to be an unlimited supply of this
water, which is also of a better quail
ity than that of the lake, but it is only
the question of short time until these
wells will be inadequate to supply the
the demands of the city.
1t has been asked about the city,
whether or not the price of water will
be lowered when the waters of Lake
Michigan begin to flow through the
mains. At the present time, the resi-
dents of the city are supplied with wa
ter at the rate of 80 cents per thousand
gallons, and others are given a better
rate, according to the proportion of wa
ter that they use. This rate at the
present time is considered reasonable
owing to the number of consumers al
present and the method employed tc
furnish the water

His address was poTIecIiy Ireo kIOIH aDu66, no saying ne had many warm personal friends on the other side whom he hoped, when this fight was over, to take by the hand and stin call them friends, therefore he had no hard things to say of any man who differed from him.

FAIR BUSINESS
 IN |RON TRADE Good Run of Small Orders Keeps Everything Moving INQUIRIES ARE LARGE
Unusual Interest Has Been Developed In Foreign Iron and Some Car goes Have Been Ordered for
 This Country.

New York, November 14.-Although there has been an absence of any large transactions in foundry iron during the week, there has been a fair run of small orders, averaging from 5000 to 5000 tons a day.
 Toward the close of the week some large inquiries were developed, not only for shipment up to next April, in lots of 10000 tons, but for even larger tonnages for shipment over the balance of the year. An easier tone had been evident in foun- dry grades and some concessions have
 been made, especially In the offerings of speculative lots of southern metal. The
 only sale Of importance of steel-making
 iron was one of 20,000 tons of Bessemer
 in the Pittsburg district, but in the east ern district several thousand tons of basic sold for early delivery at s19 delivered Thousand ton lots of low phosphorus have
 sold at s22 at Lehigh Valley furnaces
 for immediate shipment.
 Unusual interest has been developed in
 foreign iron. It is reported one or two
 cargoes of Middlesboro have been ar ranged for shipment to this country, either
 on consignment or speculation, and the
 market has been otherwise unsettled by
 offerings of such iron for resale.
 Eastern Pennsylvania furnaces have placed contracts for 150,000 tons of Span ish ore.
 Great activity continues in most branches of semi-finished and fuly-fn- ished steel. Sheets and tin plates have taken first place in the new buying, orders being enormous. Wire products have been
 a close second, new business since No vember l running at the rate of Il 900 tons
 per day with the American Steel and Wire company. There are still many rumors
 in regard to the advance of prices of wire { products, but conservatism is still
 prominent feature, and advances are not
 expected to be made in sheets and tin plates.
 Bilets have been active, with sales of about 60,000 tons. Other important con
 tracts are pending
 Rail contracts reported have aggregated about 250,000 tons, but about half of this tonnage was due to specifications on pre- vious contracts. The new business in-
 cludes 4O000 tons for the Great Northern 200c0 tons for the Illinois Central, 20.- 900 tons for the Erie and 14O0O for the Pittsburg, Lake Erie and Western. Business for about 0,0OO tons is pending Orders have also been placed for 2O,OO0 wheels with 40,O00 more pending. Railroad equipment orders included about $500 cars Locomotive orders have aggregated 135 Contracts for four lake boats have been
 placed and orders for four more are pend ing. Structural contracts have been closed for about 10000 tons and about 100.- 900 tons more are pending.

FOARD COMES TO ENSLEY

Ensley, November 14-(Special. .)-Chan- cellor A. H. Benners has rendered a de- cree in the case of J. B. Simpson, resi- dent of Ensley, who sought to restrain the officials of the city of Ensley from turning over the books and papers of the city to the city authorities of Birming- ham, and the matter has aroused much interest in Ensley.
 The decree is quite lengthy and grants all the relief prayed for by the complain ant and decrees the Greater Birmingham bill unconstitutional. In addition to the decree he gave an opinion on the merits of the case in which he bears upon the caption of the bill, the notice and publica- tion. This is another victory for Ensley to maintain her integrity. The case will be appealed to the supreme court at once and an early ruling Is expected.

ANTI-AMENDISTS
 GAINING FAST

Hartselle, November 14.-(Special)- That the anti-amendists have this county goes without question. The strength they developed early in the campaign has never waned, but on the contrary they have gained some strength. The town here continues as it has been all along about evenly divided. The country beats will go from two to one to three to one. There may be a beat or two that will go for the amendment; for instance, Val hermosa Springs beat and Massey beat. The country people are posted on this great question as never before, many of them taking the daily papers and keeping fully informed on the issue. Had it not have been for section of the amendment the amendment would have carried. But they view with alarm the wording of this section.
 Mrs. Sim Loveady, widow of the late Commissioner Simeon w. Lovelady of Danville, near here, died at the old family home last night after lingering illness. The remains will be buried at Old Friend ship in Lawrence county, tomorrow. She is survived by two daughters and son.

Huntsville, November 14-(Special J. ''The First. Second and Third congress sional districts of Alabama will roll up a majority of from 1o,000 to 15,000 votes against the proposed constitutional amendment said Hon. Jesse F. Stall ings during his visit to Huntsville day or two ago, and if the defenders in northern Alabama will only do what is expected of them, we will win our fight by much larger majority than we at first thought possible with the reduced number of qualified voters" MT. Stallings called over the list of counties in the nine congressional districts and named the few counties that are doubtful. He claims that only one county in the Mobile dis trict is doubtful. two in the Second, one in the Third, one in the fourth, two in the Fifth, two In the Sixth. one in the Sew enth, none in the Eighth and one in the Ninth At the opening of the campaign said MT. Stallings, "the amenders claimed that the farmers would give the amend ment heavy majority. I have found in all elections that the farmers are the conservative class and they are loath to surrender any constitutional right. It is now conceded that 75 per cent of the farm CTS are against the amendment"
