Street Cars Ran Amuck

on the Streets Last Night

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

'O, where and O, where Is our little

street car gone.

O, where and O. where is our little

street car gone

It's gone Into the barn for the motor-

man to toast h!s toes '

And It's O how we wish that he d

hurry and return." Ir. was the lament of about twenty

residents of West Richmond as they

stood huddled about in the entrance of the Mashmeyer store last evening. There car was gone, but from what some of the members said was far from being forgotten. It had begun to

rain unexpectedly and there was not half a dozen umbrellas in the crowd.

There were the young girl clerks from

the dry goods stores, as of course it

was Just at the supper hour, the professional men from their offices and

the laborers from the factories. All were bent on getting home to a warm supper as quickly as possible. But it was wait or walk. Some preferred chances with Dr. Hurty's pneumonia, but others just worried and fretted and condemned the street car service.

The Polite Motormen. And then the motormen on West

Richmond street car lines have such an accommodating way of making amends. If their car be delayed or running behind its schedule, Mr. Motorman finds it to his convenience to "lay out" on the West Fifth street end of the line. What cares he about the waiting passengers in the rain, his car

is behind time and the easiest way to catch up is by laying over for one trip and then going in on time. Such custom has become bo prominent that the West Side folks who depend upon the Richmond Avenue line do not seem to mind it much any more. Why, they actually enjoy walking through the rain or enow and In summer time it la a real treat to be away from the dirt Infested contraptions, such as have been run on this line. Street Car Ran Amuck. Street cars ran amuck last evening. Ilelter and skelter they rambled, chasing about the streets promiscuously like a flea-bitten pup after its tail. On several of the early evening cars there were no conductors and the motormen had no "change" so the passengers rode free and they deserved to.

ING RECORD FILING PLAN USED BY THE RETIRING COUNTY RECORDER.

That the system of keeping records

in the Wayne county recorder's office will be legalized by the legislature in the next session is the belief of County Recorder Mosbaugh who inaugur

ated the system. It has proved to be an economy to the county and has been copied by many other recorders in Indiana, although It is not legalized by any act of the legislature.

Mr. Mosbaugh, not satisfied with the

old method of recording, adopted the loose leaf ledger which made it possible to typewrite all records of the county. At first there was some objec

tions made because it was said that the law required permanent binding, but the books which are used can be bound permanently after they are

completed. County Attorney Robbins

passed on the system and stated that

To Introduce Law,

At the last session of the legislature

a bill was presented by which the sys

tern could be used without any ques

tion as to its legality, but for some reason it was never passed. Another

attempt will be made next month and

It is probable it will meet the approba

tion of the lawmakers.

In speaking of the system, Mr. Mos

baugh says that the county saves mon

time taken to prepare the records.

VAULTS CONDEMNED.

The Stomach Does Not Cause Dyspeysia

Neither Will It Cure It Because The Lack of Gastric Juices Prohibit Relief. The etoniach is a strong, powerful organ, which is composed of muscles of great strength. It Is filled during digestion, with gastric juices, which when the stomach, extending and compressing the food, dissolve it and separate the nourishment from the waste matter. If, however, these gastric juices are lacking, the stomach is not capable of digesting its food because it has not the tools with which to work successfully. The gastric juices, when in a perfect state, do away with all foul odors, fermentation and decay, reduce the food to a disintegrated mass and the stomach then presses it into the intestines where another form of digestion takes place. Then the intestines take from this mass of food all that is nourishing and give it to the blood. The waste matter is thrown from the system. If instead of nourishment the intes

tines receive impure deposits combin

ed with a poisonous and Imperfect gas

trie juice, it can be readily seen that

they must turn such imperfect nourishment into the blood. The blood then being able to give each part of the body that which it requires, becomes impoverished and disease is

spread broadcast.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets correct

such a condition at once. If the gas

tric juices are lacking and imperfect,

these tablets do their work Just the

same. They build up the elements in

the juice which are lacking and remove

those elements which cause disturb ance.

Meat, grains, fluids, vegetables and

delicacies, in fact each portion of

large meal have been placed in a glass vial, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have digested them to a perfect fluid

just as a healthy stomach would do.

A large complex, hearty meal holds no terrors for a dyspeptic if Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets are used. Abnormal eating, late dinners, rich foods, cause ill effects to the stomach, but

when Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used one may eat when and what one will, without danger of dyspepsia or

discomfort.

Who Had the Bast Show?

During a session of the Tennsyl-

vania legislature a well known member was made head of a state depart

ment. As there were a large number

of lucrative positions in his department

he was besieged by congressmen on behalf of their friends who wanted

good, fat Jobs.

Messrs. Jones, Smith and Brown

were all applicants for. the same position, and their claims were equally pushed. Finally two representatives who were for Brown went to the new

executive and asked how the contest

ants stood.

"It's this way." was the reply.

"Jones is a good man, and the corporations and the Judiciary are with him; Smith is a fine fellow and is backed by the newspapers and the people generally, and your friend Brown is an excellent young man. who is being pushed

by the politicians and the members of the legislature." "Well, but who has the best show?" asked one of the friends. "If you won't repeat it," was the answer, "I will tell you." Both promised.

Saving the Landlord. Joseph Jefferson was playing a one night engagement In a small town, appearing in the part Rip Van Winkle, which he had so often and ably impersonated. At the hotel where he stayed there waa an Irishman who acted as general assistant. Judged by the great interest he manifested In the hotel, he might have been taken to be the proprietor. At about a quarter to 6 in the morning Mr. Jefferson was startled, not to say alarmed, by a violent thumping on his door. " When he rec

ollected that be had left no orders to be called so early, he was naturally indignant. His sleep was banished for that morning, however, so he arose and soon made his appearance before the clerk. "Look here, I say," he demanded of

this functionary, "why was I called at this unearthly hour?" "I don't know, sir." replied the clerk, "bwt I'll ask Pat Fat was summoned. Said the clerk: "Fat, there was no call for this gentleman.

CONCRETE POLE BREAKS AT TOP Accident Does Not Mean Pole a Failure.

One of the concrete poles constructed at the corner of Fort Wayne avenue and North I) street to support the trolley wire, has proved defective and broken off about three feet from the

i top. The strain of the guy wire proved

too severe. It is believed this failure

does not nepest rily mean that a concrete post will not withstand a lateral strain, but was due simply to a defect in the concrete work. When the

pole broke the concrete pulled away from the steel rods through the center and there were bent, but not bro

Chauffard and Wldal, a man and his

disease ran ah almost identical course

in each acse. Their 'illness began on a day in June following one on which

they drank much cold water from a

well. One could not have taken the

disease from the other, as Is usual

in family epidemics, and common un

favorable surroundings could hardly have had a simultaneous effect. That pneumonia germs from the well water inoculated the patients seemed to be

the only conclusion possible.

An Aneedote of Duport and the Em eeror Napoleon. Napoleon, in a way, was fond of music. It is admitted that the musical tastes of "the Corsican ogre" were not elevated. But for all that he loved singing so much that many a time after a concert he ordered the vocalists to come to the palace and ing before him and the Empress Josephine. ! A curious anecdote is told of his brusque manner of dealing with artists. One night at a concert at the TuHerles, while Duport, the famous violoncellist, was performing a solo, the emperor suddenly entered. His majesty nodded his head approvingly and when the piece was finished said to Duport: "How the deuce do you manage to keep that Instrument so motionless? And, taking up the cello, he tried to jam it between bis spurred boots. Poor Duport nearly fainted when he saw his treasure treated like a war horse. For several minutes he looked on, trembling from bead to foot. At last, however, he darted, forward and called out "Sirer in such pathetic

A Legal Opinion. Roscoe Conkling came into Charles O'Conor's office one day in a nervous state. "You seem to be very much excited, Mr. Conkling," said Mr. O'Conor as Roscoe walked up and down the room. "Tea, I'm provoked I am provoked," said Mr. Conkling. "I never had a client dissatisfied about my fee before. "Well, what's the matter?" "Why, I defended Gibbons for arson, you know. He was convicted, but I

did hard work for him. I took him to the superior court, and he was con

victed; then to the supreme court, and the supreme court confirmed the Judgment and gave him ten years. I charged him SG00, and Gibbons is grumbling about it; says it is too much. Now, Mr. O'Conor, I ask- you was that too

FATTEST BABY AT CAMBRIDGE.

Work on the erection of the brick walls for the new interurban freight depot has begun. The walls will be of compressed brick with a black mortar. The structure will be quite imposing in its lines. The work will be pushed ahead as rapidly as the weather will permit. A concrete foundatiop was put down and it was necessary the concrete was covered with compost.

A Zurich newspaper published the following advertisement in English: "Residing board house among a charmng set of mountains. Very beseeming for families or singular individuals. Shadowed glades and amiable places for resting for guests of the cure. All facilities for mountainous expeditions. Excellent kitchen, with lager beer running from the tap."

Cambridge City, Ind., Dec. 30. The largest baby in the state for Its age has been a visitor with its mother, Mrs. Rufus Baker of Sulphur Springs. Ind., at the home of Ulyses Eaton. The lad is a monster. It Is nine months old and weighs 40 pounds. On several occasions it has had its picture in the metropolitan papers and it is the concensus of opinion through

out the state that it is the champion heavyweight baby of Indiana, at any rate there has been no other claimant for the title.

Whether warts spread by contact has been much discussed. A Glasgow physician mentions that a maid with many warts on hands and arms was employed in a certain family, and warts soon appeared on the hands of the three children. The youngest, a boy of five, with a habit of biting the fingers, developed two warts on the lip and one in the mouth.

In a paper read before the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, Henry Penton states that the oldest iron ship in the world Is the United States warship Michigan, the material for whose construction was "dragged across the mountains from Pittsburgh to Lake Erie." where the ship was built, as long as sixty-six years ago. 1

Equal to tho Occasion. In 1840 a great convention was held in Baltimore by the young men of what was then known as the ' Whig party for the purpose of ratifying the nomination of General William Ilcnry Harrison for the presidency. There was no ball In the city large enough to hold the crowd of delegates who attended. The convention accordingly met on the Canton race track, and when the great Whig orator of Maryland, who was chairman of the young men's national committee, arose to call the meeting to order be was so Impressed by the vastness of the assemblage before him that Instead of the usual formula he exclaimed. "The nation will please come to order!"

Voluntarily. "Did I understand yoit to say that this boy voluntarily confessed to running away?' asked a truant officer, addressing the determined looking female parent of a small and dirty boy. "Yes, sir, he did, the woman responded. "I just had to persuade him a little, and then he told me the whole thing voluntarily." "How did you persuade him?" queried his worship. "Well, first I gave him a good lick

ing, said the firm parent, "and then I put him to bed without supper, and I took his clothes away and told him he'd stay In bed till he confessed what he'd done, if twas the rest of his days, and I should lick him again in the morning. And in less than half an hour he told me the whole story voluntarily T' Rasp stability. Respectability Is a very good thing in its way, but it does not rise superior to all considerations.

I am so giad to see you here, prince, and In such luck, too!" she exclaimed. "Do tell me a lucky number. It is sure to win, for you are now In the vein." The prince generously placed a pile of gold louis before the vivacious lady, whose beauty had successfully defied the effects of thirty-six winters, and said: "Put It all on the number of your years and reap a golden harvest. The lady reflected, hesitated and then placed the pile on twenty-seven. An instant later the croupier sang out: "Thirty-six red wins!" "Heavens!" muttered the lady as ahe fainted.
