THE OLD WAY Of Trriiilnur IIJMM-IHM | | | anil IndlirrM- lion ty Dlrflni ; a llurliiiriiiiH anil I Ml > ll'NM Dili * . Wo say the old way , but really It is n Very common one at the present time , and many djspcptlcs and physicians as well con sider the first step to take In attempting to euro Indigestion Is to diet , either by select ing curtain foods and rejecting others , or to greatly diminish thu iUintlty | usually taken ; In other words , the starvation plan Is by many supposed to bo thu first ossim- tlal. tlal.Tho The almost certain failure of the alarva- llon cure for dyspepsia has been proven time uml again , but still thu moment Dyspepsia makes Its nppearancu n course of dieting Is nt oncu ndvlee',1. All this U radically wrong. It Is foolish nnd u in i'I entitle to recommend dieting or starvation to a man suffering from Dyspep sia , bocftusu the Indigestion Itself starves every organ and every nerve and e\ory llbro In the body. What the Dyspeptic wants Is abundant nutrition , which menim plenty of gorrl. . wholesome , well-cooked food and something to nssUt thu weak stomach lo digest It. This U exactly the purpose for which Stuart' * Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and this Is thu method by which they euro the worst cuaea of Dyspepsia : In other words , vtlio patient cats plenty of wt-olcsomo food nml Stuart's Dyspcpsl.i Tablets digest It for him. In this wav ' ! o system In nour ished and the iiven . : , I stomach rested , became thu tablets dlpest thu food whether the stomach is or not.

No nrre.itu have been made on a complaint which wan fllfil Friday afternoon In police ; court against Alice Orcy ami Leo Connors , i charging fornication. According to a carc ' fully Inld plan , the two defendants ought to ! have ben placed In Jail Friday night , but i when the morning dawned they were as free ' an any two lovers on the face of the earth. I The police attach the blame to Robert j Fisher. Fisher Is the stepfather of the i girl and Is also the complainant In the case , j He lives In the vicinity of Thirty-second and Marcy streets. Ho gave the Informa tion which resulted In the filing of the com plaint. He was also In the scheme by which the alleged transgressors were to be placed In durance vile. According to Fltiher's story , Alice and Connors wore lovers for some time past , bu : I * , was only a few days since that the girl left the paternal roof-tree and started to cling to her lover. The couple rented a j Illili' hut near the rraldence of Ihe parents i and wpre as hnppy as could bo. The sltua- | lion , however , was not very pleasing to Stopi i father Fisher , who dcalrcd to see the two legally married , na ho alleges that no legal ' ceremony over joined them together. ' Fisher told the police Ihat he had re- I qucfltcd Connors to marry the girl , hut that i ho had refused so to do. He therefore : wanted the strong arm of the law to do ' something. He filed the complaint , lint tci I punish the couple , but Mmply for the purpose ! of compelling them to marry. He and the , police patched up a nice little scheme by ' which the police were to arrest the couple j at 11 o'clock Friday night , when It waa pro- mimrd Hint a lead pipe cinch would bo oh- talned to compel them to do what was right In thu cyo of the law. All might havu gone well If Fisher had not faithfully nnd dutifully Informed his wife of his profeeillnga. The wife would not reo her daughter occupy a prison cell , even for thr- laudable purpose of making her a legal wife. Consequently after one learned of the plan , she promptly Informed her daughter. This proceeding completely blocked the game that Fisher and the police had laid. When the officers arrived at the house of the alleged guilty couple , they found it vacant and were compelled to re turn to the police station without any pris oners.

Cartwrlgbt Is ot this opinion Friday night and yesterday morning b advertised In the dally papers for lift able-bodied , well-developed cats of an breed , description , color or dbpo sltlon , offering 10 cents n. piece for them Up to .noon yesterday , but six cats hai been offered , and thcsw were accepted with out question. The felines nro now occupying one of the front windows ot the fitoru a Fifteenth and Dougiai streets. There Is no scrapper In tno number and coiu'oquontly they nro quietly enjoying their new quarters It Is the Intention of Mr. Cartwrlght to cage the cats and exhibit them among the other wild animals that will bo seen In the yaclety clrcjs parade and show. The advertisement In the papers war the cause of an amusing Incl dent yesterday morning. Some kind hearted woman noticed the ads am at once jumped to the conclusion tha the phno dealer Intended to skin the nnltnaU to obtain a new kind of ohoe leather , or tha he poaoihly proposed to run an oxpurlmenta elation In connection with the storo. She consequently notified the Nebraska Humane aoclety. Mr. Cartwrlght was visited by ono of the olllcer.i of the asroclatlon. All fore bodings were allayed , however , and the felines were allowed to remain. Rov. John Williams telephoned the pollc lain night that the gamins In his neigh borhood were floating all the domestic cat In sight for the purpose of disposing of then to T. P. Cartwrlght. the shoe dealer. Rev. Mr Williams stated that n neighbor's wife hai Just defended her own particular pot at grea cost to her nerves and temper and that b thought the thing ought to bo Dtoppcd. II was told by a young urchin In search o felines that the shoe mm skinned the fire t-lilo favorites and was nmklnc a new kliu of shoo with the pelts. Mr. Williams askei for light on the matter and was of the opin ion If the report was true that the Humane society should Interfere. Chief Slgwnrt In formed him that the cats were for exhibition purpcsea and that the theft of the pot would be stopped by the officers.

OVERLAND NOT LIKELY TO CONTROL IT Will Prolmlily Oiii'pnUMl In Ilar- iiiuiiy ivlth tinfnlim I'uflllc , HIMV- i-vor lllVeol iif Opening Hie Oliver W. Mink , receiver and comptroller of the Union Pacific , will Icavo for Now York this morning. Ho goes on Itn- nortant business pertaining to the foreclosure of the Oregon Short Line , which matter semes to be ono of pretty general concern amoni : the railroads. When asked yesterday morning whether the Union Pacific would retain a controlling Interest in the Short I-lne , Mr. Mink said : "The reorganization of the Short Uno Is through a stock ownership which now repre sents less than a controlling Interest. Prior to the receivership there was a trafllc con tract which gave It almost absolute control , Independent of its stock ownership. My judgment Is that the ownero of the Short Line property , as reorganized , will operate It ns independent property , though probably not In hostility to the Intercut * of the Union Pacific. " "How will the Short Line bo sola ? " was asked. "Tlio amo as any other mortgaged prop erly Is fold to meet a mortgaged debt. It will probably be bought In by the reorganiza tion committee , acting In the Interests of the reorganized company. The control of the tltlo In the property will then bo vested in tlio new company. In which the Interests of tbo Union 1'aclflc will not bo sufDclent to control Ita crei-atlons. " "IIOA- will the sale affect oaptcrn roads ? " "As I Intimated before , It will not ma terially cnango me existing irumc ruiittiviia , although It U Impossible at this t'tago of tha proceedings to make any definite statement In this connection. " "What amount of Interest lias the road defaulted , causing It to bo sold ? " "Tho foreclosure proceedings , which per haps control the situation , were Instituted under a dcfaut of the payment of the Interest on the consolidated bonds. No Interest liaa been paid on these bonds since the road pusscd Into tbo hands of the receivers , In October , 1803. " "Will U not hurt the Union Pacific by opening the Denver and Ogdcn gateway to "It will undoubtedly Injuriously affect the Union Pacific If the Ogden and Denver gate . " opened. This would let In all competing Ini-a and the bad effects would be inevitable. " "Cnn you say who tbo auditor and gen- . ral manager will be ? " "No , I know nothing about the personnel of Ihe rcorganl/atlon. My judgment U that the reorganization committee has been obliged to spend no much time In perfecting the dchill.H of the plan , arranging for the sale and taking Inventory of the property. that It has not yet considered the question of general or local organization. " "Aro the receivers flattened with the llne'o present earning ? " "Oil. yes. about as well as they nro satis- fled with anything else In life. Yuu know low that In yourself , probably. " "Do you think all of this matter will cause iny further dUiolutloii In the old Union Pacific ? " "I do not think the reorganization of the Short Line will have any cdect on the themes or plans for reorganization of any other parts of the nyHtcm. So far OH the Jnlon Pacific llne.s making up the Union i'aclflc proper are concerned the ecurlty toldors In n great part will deposit their cecurHUs with a reorganization committee , which will attempt to advance It * plan ndciienilt'iit of the plans made or suggested or leorgnnlzatlon of any of the branch line iroperlleti " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .VoleH anil 1'ei'Hiiiiiiln , The local pumcngcr iiHaoclallon will hold U regular monthly meeting on Monday morning. 12.
