THE OLD WAY

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

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.

Cats nro either ocarco In tlila city or the

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.

AFFAIRS OF THE SHORT LINE
Receiver Mink Talks of Its Relations to tlio
Union Pacific.
OVERLAND NOT LIKELY TO CONTROL IT

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
