FOR A LAKE OUTLET.

New York. Oct. 2.-It was definite
~ learned today that Edwin Hawley
has not secured control of Chicago,
lake outlet for his Chesapeake and
Ohio combination. Wall street was
eilled with stories to the contrary,
however, and it was emphatically
stated that the cost for control of
the new property was in the neigh
borhood Of $9.o0O,0O0. and the nee
essary funds will be raised by the
sale of new Chesapeake and Ohio pre-
ferred stock on terms that will offer
rights to the holders of the outstand-
ing Chesapeake and Ohio shares.
At the present time there is only
one class of Chesapeake stocks. the
$62,7S9,OOO common. By reason of
his known speculative ventures, Haw-
ley is frowned upon in some banking
quarters. In the case of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. however. it is known
that the National City bank, through
Frank A. Vanderlip, Is acting with
Hawley and that a big future is pre-
dicted for the property
Heretofore the Chesapeake and
Ohio has been controlled by the
Pennsylvania and the New York Cen
trail Jointly. The road was not allow
ed to have an eastern outlet for its
chief traffic-coal-and no effort was
made by either of the interests in con-
troll to build up the property. In fact.
no attention was paid to the road and
delays in moving its cars frequently
caused a loss instead of a profit on
joint shipments. Today the Chesa-
peake and Ohio is free lance, and
its owners are not ignored by either
the Pennsylvania or the New York
Central.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 2.-F. G. Petit
bone, general manager of the Gulf
division of the Santa Fe railroad. to-
day made application to the railroad
commission for authority to establish
a low export rate on iron ore from
points on its line to Port Bolivar,
Tex. Mr.. Pettibone stated that a con-
tract is pending between his road and
Pennsylvania iron manufa cturerS for
the shipment annually of not less than
100000 tons of iron ore from the
East Texas fields to Pennsylvania for
a period of fifty years, by way of
Port Bolivar, and thence by water to
the New Bethlehem works. This con-
tract. he said, would be signed if the
commission would authorize a low
export rate. The application was
granted by the commission.
Charles NJ. Schwab and associates
recently obtained control of about
$4,000 acres of iron ore lands in Cass
county, Tex. and the ore shipments
are to be made from there. 1t Is es-
timated that the Schwab holdings ag-
gregate 1OO,000,000 tons of ore. The.

SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
HAIR.

There is nothing new about the idea OF
using sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy by using a
sage tea" Whenever their hair fell out
or took on a dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, they made a brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-time,
tiresome method of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done by
skillful chemists better than we could do
it ourselves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready made product. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, containing sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation is sold by all frst-class
druggists for SOC. and $1.00 a bottle, or
is sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical
Company. IA Cortlandt ST., New York.

BIOdted Stomach
And BelChinQ
OF Gas Is Prevented by Using Char
coal, Which Absorbs and Re-
moves stomach Gases.

The accumulation of gas in the stom-
ach is caused in the following ways:
1. 1t may be swallowed in large 1Ian-
titles during certain abnormal Condl-
lions of the stomach and fOod-trdct.
2. 1t may be produced by decom{iosl-
ton of food in the alimentary system.
8. 1t is often evolved from changes OF
the mucous secretions themselves. 4.
Transuded from the blood. 5. Regur-
gitated from the duodenum or first por-
ton of the small intestines, and in some
cases from fistulous communication
with the large intestine. g. Gas OF an
extremely offensive kind is produced by
the decomposition of a morbid growth
in the stomach, such as cancer, ulcer,
tumor, etc Z. Some forms of food ere
more prone than others to cause Stom-
ach gas. including sugar, starch. beans.
peas, etc.
To relieve the distressing symptoms
of gaseous distension of the stomach,
no matter what the cause may be, it
has been found by numerous expert
ments that the most relidhie and valua-
able remedy is charcoal, which directly
absorbS all gaseous substances in the
aIimentary system, besides oxidtzing
and destroying foul doors, and anti
septically cleaning the stomach and IN
testinaI system from one end to the
other as thoroughly as soap and water
cleanses the skin.
The late DR.. Leared of England
strongly advocated the use of willow
charcoal in the form of lozenges for
the alienation of such stomach syinp-
toms as indigestion, fermentation, de-
composition and bloating. 1t has also
been found extremely ServiceaDle in re-
neving secondary Preventative changes
in the large intestine, when admins
tered in the form of an enemd.
In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges we
have the very best form in which this
great gas absorbent and purifier can be
administered They are composed of
the finest willow wood, treated by a
special carbonizing process, and after
being combined with pure honey to
render them palatable, they are COM
pressed into lozenge, which is as
agreeable to the palate as candy, and
no one could possibly object to their
taste.
Go to your druggist and purchase a
package of these powerful little alb
sorbents, which are capable OF absol b.
gases, but be sure to ask for Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges, as there are nu-
merous cheap and inferior substitutes
and limitations on the market and 1t
may be that you have given one of
these minor brands a trial, and found
that it did not give satisfaction; IL so,
.7On't fail to try Stuart's Charcoal
'I,ozenges, as their superiority and the
vast difference between them ana the
others will be so strongly marked and
so striking, that you will ever after

on having this pre-eminently superior
brand.

MORE GASOLINE HANDCARs.
Santa Fe Contracts For Ten Addition

success by the employees of the Santa

an order with the manufacturers, the
Tool and Railway specially company.
for ten more of the same make and
design. The work on the cars had
been somewhat delayed because of
difficulty experienced in getting ma
terials with which to build them but
at present the Manufacture of the
gasoline machines is being carried on
rapidly and the company expects to
deliver the cars to the railway COM
pany on schedule time. The new ma
chine is made on the order of an or
binary handcar but has gasoline en-
CINE attached. The drawback. to SINH
lar cars has been that they were not
large enough to carry several men
and their tools and still perform the
work of the old handcar. The car
devised by the inventors is one which
can be used for all ordinary purposes
that the common handcar is used and
is of course great improvement over
the older make in that 1t is fitted out
with the gasoline engine and relieves
the workmen from the hard work of
pumping the car to and from work.

OIL FOR ENGINE FUEL.
Movement in Oklahoma to Promote

citation, to relieve oppressive condi-
lions in this. state. The plan is to
pledge the Frisco. Midland Valley
and Santa Fe railroad sufficient oil
for fuel purposes as will cause them
to substitute oil for coal. The men who
are behind the movement declare
that the independent producers can
furnish the railroads with 10000 bar
rels of oil a day for 365 days. and
give a bond to guarantee that amount
of oil for five years.
It is pointed out that it would cost
very little for the railroads to make
the necessary changes in their engines
to burn oil as fuel instead Of coal. 1t
is already stated that the Frisco is
using a large amount of oil as fuel
on many of its branch lines and is
paying as high as $1.10 barrel for

Eaton, prior to an injury suffered
two years ago, was well respected
and mingled with many business men.
Not many years ago he was buyer for
a mercantile company. He had no
bad habits, although he says he. drank
liquor occasionally. Eaton says he is
willing that the doctors shall cut into
his skull at several places If they can
only cure him. His case has been
diagnosed as phrenasthenia.
Eaton, when he lost his position as
mercantile buyer. became a teamster,
and one day was sent to- deliver a
