LOOKING UPAN0LD SURVEY Rumor Northwestern Will Serlc to Save Fifteen Miles of Trackage. The presenca of representatives of the Chicago ft Northwestern railroad in the vicinity of Harlan, looking up the location of a former survey, has given rise to tbo rsport that this road contemplates extend ing its Carroll-Harlan branch to Council Bluffs, The same party was seen tracing the old survey .near Crescent City, about eight miles north of Council Bluffs. The Northwestern line from Council Bluffs to Carroll Is nlnety-stx miles and the branch from Carroll - to Harlan Is forty one miles long. The extension of the Carroll-Harlan branch would mean the con struction of less than forty miles of line, which would make a saving of fifteen miles between Council Bluffs and Carroll. The report has It that the extension will laave the present main line near Crescent, following the valley of the Pigeon to Per sia, where It will cross the Milwaukee tracks, and from there run straight to Harlan and again connect with the main Una at Carroll.

DOCTORS ARE OX A STRIKE Refuse to Serve County Longer for the EemnneratioD Allowed. MEDICINE COSTS MORE THAN INCOME Contrnrfs Have Kern Awarded for Mont of Townships, bat So Bids Are Received from Conu rll Bluffs. When the Board of County Supervisors yesterday morning opened the bids for med ical attendance on paupers during 1903, not a single bid was In evidence for such work in this city snd the adjoining townships of Lewis and Garner. Further, it Is said, none will be submitted unless the board In creases the remuneration heretofore offered for such services, snd the doctors of this city will Inaugurate a boycott against the county. This state of affairs was brought about by a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Council Bluffs Medical society Mon day, which was tiled with the board yester day. The resolution is as follows: We, the members of the Council Bluffs Medical society, feel that the salary hereto fore psld the county physician la not suf- medicines or lose money In addition to la bor. Practically all the pauper In the county are located In Kane township, and we feel that the price of IM as per last year's contract. Is a disgrace to the county. The sl k pauper Is entitled to some con sideration. Many of us have during the past year rendered a great deal of service to paupers because we know that they have been neglected. We would, therefore, rec ommend that your honorable board give this due consideration nnd pay the physic ian of Knne township in proportion to the work done as compared with the other townships In the county and In the cities of '.he slate. The contract for the pauper attendance in Kane, Lewis and Garner townships dur ing' 1902 was held by Dr. A. V. Stephenson and his total remuneration was $114, if which amount $94 was paid for the work In Kane township including the city of Council Bluffs. The board, after discussing the situation to some extent, deferred action and will, It Is expected, take the matter up again before adjourning. In the meantime, D. J. N. Rice, who was filling out Dr. Steph enson's contract, will continue to act as county physician for these three townships. Other Contracts Let. Contracts for pauper medical attendance throughout the remainder of the county were awarded as follows: Belknap town r'.iip. Dr. 8. D. Tobey, $10: Becmer, Dr. A. A. Robertson. $15; Carson, Dr. C. F.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL IMPROVES TRACK State Instllntlona Have Been Having Trouble Set-urlng Coal and Arouse Railroads of Tall inn; It. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Jan. 6. (Special.) A ques tion not before raised In Iowa has come to the front through the application of the Barber Asphalt Paving company, organlred under the laws et West Virginia, to become Incorporated also In Iowa and to receive a charter giving it a legalized existence nnd standing In the state. The company has been doing considerable business In va rious cities of Iowa and a question has arisen as to whether or not it has a right to do so without Incorporation. The laws of Iowa do not require that "mercantile and manufacturing" companies organlred In other states and doing a selling business In Iowa shall Incorporate, but It Is a question whether or not the asphalt people by reason of their doing a general contracting and construction business In the state come under the exemption. Accordingly the com pany sought to file articles and receive a charter. The fee required by the state laws amounts to $3,918 and the company has thus far declined to pay the same. As the com pany Is threatened with several controver sies In connection with Its contrscts here and elsewhere this state of affairs Is certain to bring the matter to tho attention of the courts, which have never passed on tho case.

Some time ago these Institutions were able to get (be coal only a carload st a time and seldom had more than two days' supply on hand. The coal purchased on contracts made direct with the Board of Control, but ordered by the superintendents The railroad companies are accused of ap propriating coal Intended for the institu tions to their own, use and otherwise de laying the . deiivery. Tbe past week the coal has been. comjng more freely and It Is now believed there will be no further danger from t,his source. , Kortman Would Escape Gallows.

Common sense would suggest that It one wishes to become fleshy and plump It can only result from the fod we est and digest and that food should be albuminous tr flesh forming food, like eggs, beefsteak and cereals; In other words, tbe kinds of food that make flesh sre the foods which form the greater part of our dally tills of fare. But the trouble la that while we eat enough, and generally too much, the stom ach, from abuse and overwork, does not properly digest snd assimilate It, which Is the reason so many people remain thin and under weight; the digestive organs do not completely digest the flesh forming beef steak and eggs and similar wholesome food. There sre thousands of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics, although they may have no particular pain or Incon venience from their stomachs. If such persons would lay their preju dices aside and make a regular practice of taking after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets tbe food would be quickly and thoroughly digested, be cause these tablets contain the tatural pep tones and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and by supplying this wtnt the stomach is soon enabled to regain Its nttural tone and vigor. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of flesh forming food meat, eggs, bread and potatoes, and this Is the reason they so quickly build up, strengthen and In vigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and children. Invalids and children, even the most deli cate, use them with rasrUed benefit as they contain no strong iriitatlng drugs, no ca thartic nor any tarmful 1. gradient. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the most successful and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubles, becsuse It Is tbo most reasonable and scientific of mod ern medicines. 8tuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by every druggist In the United States and Canada as well ss In Great Rrltsln, at 50 cents for complete treatment. Nothing further is required to cure uuy stomach trouble or to make thin, nervous, dyspeptic people strong, plump snd well. CURED UT WKI1E RIBBON REMEDY No laale. No ouoi.
