Sinking Spells
Every Few Days

At the time / began taking
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy | was
having sinking spells every few
days. My hands and feet would
get cold; | could scarcely
breathe, and could feel myself
gradually sinking away until !
would be unconscious. Those
about me could not tell there
was life in me. After these
spells ! would be very weak and
nervous, sleepless and without
appetite had neuralgia in my
head and heart. After taking
the remedy a short time all this
disappeared and in a few weeks
all the heart trouble was gone"

For twenty years we have
been constantly receiving just
such letters as these. There is
scarcely locality in the United
States where there is not some
one who can testify to the
merits OF this remarkably Sue
cessful Heart Remedy.
Dr. Miles Heart Remedy is sold by
all druggists. " the first bottle falls to
benefit, your druggist will return your
money.

The biggest young man in the show
business in America today is Fred
eric without the k) Thompson, who
has more big things to his credit in
the amusement world than any other
man of his years. Mr.. Thompson Is
now in his thirty-fourth year; he de-
signed and built the New York Hippo
drome created the wonderful Fairy
Land, Luna Park at Coney Island, and
is also the proprietor and producer
of "Brewster's Millions which will
be seen at the Grand opera house to-
morrow night.
Other attractions of Mr. Thompson's
are: Polly of the Circus, Robert Hill
lizard in "A Fool There Was: "Ticey'
William Gillette's last comedy, Via
Wireless, and new play of Colon
ial times entitled "Springtime', in
which his wife, Mabel TaliafeTo is
starring.
The following story APPLY illustrates
the characteristics Of this wonderful
young man. One day, in March. a
man who described himself as IAN
actor" climbed two flights of stairs in
the New Amsterdam theatre building,
New York City, and by means of a
letter Of Introduction got past cold
blooded, monosyllable office boy and
into the private Office of Frederic
Thompson, master Snowman.

was Music Master" auaver in his
voice as he said it, Mr.. Thompson,

on Broadway-the youngest leading
man of my time. Ada Rehan and
Modjeska almost came to blows over
me. A. VI. Palmer swore by me, and
Mrs Leslie Carter said | was the best

you purpose presenting some new
plays, | have come To see you. | know
that | am capable, and | believe the
time has come for me to be starred.
/ think-"Can you bark like a dog?"
asked Mr. Thompson.
Certainly not, replied the disciple
of Betterton, rising from his chair as

ended so far as productions are con-
cerned. My next play will be Luna

STkANGE CRAFT 10
APPEAR ON RIVER
New style Of Freight steamboa. viii
in all Probability be seen on
Mississippi This
Summer.
SOMETHING ABOUT PLANS
steei HuiIs and Alright compart-
ments After the Manner Of
the Whaiebacks--Boat
News.

A new style OF freight steamboat
may be seen on the Mississippi river
this summer, boat built on altogeth-
er different lines than any Of the
power boats ever seen In the Keo-
kuk harbor. The new craft has been
designed by E. e. Green. contracting
engineer at St. Louis for the American
Bridge company and is intended TO filI
the need OF vessel to carry high
grade freight rapidly between termin-
al points and to make trips more
speedily and more frequently than Is
possible with bargeg and towboats
The new craft combines the advan-
tages OF the Great Lakes freighter
with those of the Mississippi river
steamboat. 1t is said, and is to be
30 constructed that the entire cargo
can be slowed and handled through
matches In the deck. The boat is to
be built like the Great Lakes whale
back, with a long yacht-like rake.
Green's drawings show a design for a
small boat for immediate use which
is to be introduced in the upper Mis-
sfsgippi river traffice by the MISSISSIPPI
pi Valley Transportation company.
/, Larger boats are to be built for the. st.
Louis-Ncw Orleans trade. The larger
craft will be $50 feet long, fifty feet
vide. with low side wheels, compound
engines and great speed and stalnch-
ness. IT will be of steel. divided into
numerous air-tight compartments, so
that even II the hull should be pune
tured in several different places, there
may be enough uninjnred compart-
ments to keep the boat afioat until
port ig reached. There will be no
superstructure above deck, except the
house amidships to cover the boilers
and house the crew The vessel Is
especially for freight service and not
intended to carry passengers.
This unique craft, which In appear
ance will resemble an immense levia-
thar, win draw but twelve inches light,
and viii carry q 900 tons for every adj
Orion FOOT Of draft, making the carry
Ing capacity 5000 tons with the six
foot draft The upper river boats VIII
have capacity OF 1000 tons, with
about fonryfoot draft. This capacity,
it lis said, has never before been at
tanned In the history OF river boat con-
struction in the world The speed OF
these boats when loaded is to be four
teen miles an hour in still water, sew
enteen to eighteen miles down stream
aud nine to ten miles up stream. Ac-
cording TO reports from st. Louis, the
Mississippi Valley company have
made arrangements for the construc'
ton Of two of these boats Immediately
and later two more boats on SINH
lar pattern, designed to go through
the locks at Keokuk, will be built. 1t
is expected that II Green's boats come
up TO expectations, they will revolu-
tionize Mississippi river traffic.
In the meantime, the Diamond 10
line OF steamers and the Carnival
CITY Packet company boats will con
tinue to do business as In the past.
The 10 boats viii come out of winter
quarters in the spring as usual, and
will be operated in the upper river
trade just about as they were last

Willard Wins Prize for Starting and

Balloon With Women Have
Adventuresome Trip.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Glenn H. Cur
tiss and Louis Paulhan were joint
heroes at Aviation Field. Seventy
five thousand people saw the contests.
There vas something doing all the
time after 2 o'clock, the time of the
official contests.
The most exciting event, however,
came at the end of the afternoon.
Curtiss in his Rheims racing biplane
started on the ten-lap speed test at
4:O7. He made the first round in 2:31
fiat. The second lap was completed in
2:21 2-5 and the third lap in 2:3o fiat.
Then unannounced and carrying two
passengers and the aviator, Paulhan's
biplane sped across the field, cutting
in front of Curtiss' flying racer. Speed
ing behind Paulhan's heavily loaded
machine, Curtiss caught up and passed
it on the fourth lap. After Curtiss, Paul
han, the Frenchman, again cut across
the field and got ahead Of the Ameri-
can, Fancuilli, Curtiss' manager pro-
tested to the judges, declaring the
Frenchman vas deliberately trying to
prevent Curtiss making a record.
Curtiss finished the ten laps in 24:54
The ten laps measured 1911 miles
according to the judges announce
ment.
Curtiss average time was 1929 rs to
the lap. Paulhan started at Asst in
his biplane in an attempt to beat
Curtiss' time for the ten laps. He COM
pleted the ten laps in 24:59 2-5, fail
ing to break Curtiss' figures by 5 Sc
conds.
Charles f. Willard made a qualify
ing fight of the course, attempting to
land in the small square in front OF
the judges stand. He left the ground
in the middle of the square. His time
was 3:03 2-5, and he landed in the
center of the square securing the $3.50
prize for starting and stopping within
a 2O-foot square.

which assembled at noon with FIVE pas
sengers, three of whom were women,
landed twenty miles north of Los
