The meeting will be held at Monterey and will be attended by representatives of all the transmissourl roads.

Mr. Wood expects to be absent for several weeks. His wife will accompany him. the Union fornia New Scheme on Southern Pacific. SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.—It Is stated in rallroad circles that President Hays of the Southern Pacific is about to inaugurate a radical change in the management of the system. He will form a cabinet of advisers to e composed of the heads of practically all tho principal departments of the road, with the single exception of the law depart- ment. Tho object of this arrangement is to centralize the authority and responsi- STOMACHS THAT WON'T WORK That Retains the Food and Refuse to igest 1t, Make the Head Heavy und the - Nerves Weak, Need Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, There Is a cure for dyspepsia. Sufferers who have tried noxious nostrums will prob- ably be skeptical but skepticism vanishes when Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are tried. Whether the trouble is dyspepsia of long standing, or merely a simple case of Indl- gestlon, rellet is prompt and pronounced The less the trouble the fewer tablets need be taken Heaviness after eating, sour stomach, as ndicated by belching, fatigue with slight cxertion, or with no exertion at all, dls- turbed sleep, nervousness, constipation, de- pression, “blues,” these things can com- monly be set down as symptoms of dyspep- sla. And dyspepsia is merely indigestion in an aggravated form. By promotiug perfect digestion, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets produces strong nerves restful, refreshing sleep, pure blood and good sound healthy flesh. They make the skin clear, the eyes bright, the mind cheer- ful. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are a medt- cine and more than a medicine. They di- gest the food and make it easy of assimila- tion, and they relieve the inflamed, diseased condition of the membraneous linings and the glands of the stomach and bowels. They help the digestive organs over the hard places, and put them into healthy, nctive coudition. They effect a quick and permanent cure. You don't have to con- tnue taking them forever, still it s well to have a box handy and take one at the first return of the trouble. Perfectly well pegple are made sick by eating too much, oF'aawholesome food, but not if they take a tablet after eating. Treat- ment with Btuart's Dyepepsia Tablets does not necessitate dieting or any change of habits. They digest: the proper food and act upon the pther kind in such a way as to make it pass off quickly and harmlessly. You may eat and drink what you like, when you like, and av much as you like if you take a tablet afterwards. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists at 50 cents for full size package.

President Hays will, by this means, have a firmer grasp on the detaiM of opera- tion of the vast system and all orders will be isaued directly by him after considera- | tion by the cabinet. It is understood the cabinet will have no authority to fnterfere with the president in any way, but the members will be in a way advisers to the president, who will be responsible to the board of directors Rebutlding Const Line, SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.—Owing the unsatisfactory condition of the roadbed on the recently completed coast division of the Southern Pacific, the company will withdraw its fast trains and proceed to re- construct and ballast the track between Santa Barbara and Saugus, laying elghty pound steel rails. Until this is completed only one traln, the Sunset express, will be run each way dally over the track in ques- tion, to Alton Maets Wabash Rate. KANSAS CITY, April The Chicago & Alton railway announced that it will meet the rate of $2! made by the Wabash from Kansas City to New York. The tarii rate is $31, If the rate is not withdrawn other eastbound lines out of Kansas City will, it is believed, meet the cut and start a spirited rate war. eoss sac PEEROLES South Omaha News. 006000000 RODDFOS Property owners and residents n the east- ern portion of the city are making prepar tlons for extensive improvements this sum- mer and meetings are frequently held to further the plans already proposed. At a recent meeting of the East Side Improve ment club u committee was appointed o visit the county commissioners with a view to having & road machine put to work on Thirteenth street. It is stated that the rains have washed out quite a number of holes in this roadway and the people want as repairs to be made as soon Some encouragement has been r the commissioners and it is exp that when the committee presents its request there will be little, if any, delay in gran'ing the improvements and repairs asked for One new feature s the proposed opening possible ved f10n ot Twentieth street, from G street north through Syndicate park. It is not the fn- tentlon to have any great amount of grad- ing done, but to allow the street through the park to follow the natural road. Peti- tions for this purpose are mow belng pre pared for circulation, which will doubtless be readily signed by those interested. Another movement s to have Missouri avenue opened to the river and east siders say that there is no doubt but that this wil be accomplished during the summer. With a straight road to the river the pros- pects of a Burlington depot will be greatly increased and this is what the people are anxious for. The proposed extension of the Thirteenth strect car line is being pushed as rapidly as possible and as certain promises have been made by officers of the Omaha Street Rail way company, it is naturally expected that some move toward the extension will be made this summer. With another transportation line the ac- commodations will be greatly improved and patrons of the street cars will have two lles of transit to choose from, It appears to be the desire of the com- munity that this proposed line run south on Thirteenth street to Missourl avenue, thence west to Twenty-fourth street via either L or N streets, thus making a termi- nus in the heart of the city. Gas mains and electric light lines are belng extended all over the eastern portion of the city and many new houses either being erected now or contracted for. With sultable street car service this scction will build up rapldly. Pay Under Pro As there seems to be no likelihood of the councll passing an ordinance repealing the exlsting saloon occupation tax of $200, liquor dealers are making preparations to, pay the tax under protest. In every instance where a protest Is recognized it must be presented to the city treusurer in writing, as oral protests will not be considered. Members of the councll say that perhaps the increase in' the license fee from $700 to §1,200 is u little steep, but the city needs the money at this time and the chances are that the ordi- nance will not be repealed. Of course, the breweries will feet the draft more than In- dividual saloon keepers, but the authorities agree that for several yoars past the brew- erles have been getting off with a light license and they can stand a touch of high lite this year in order to give the munici- pality a chance to pay off some of its press- ing debts Further, it Is stated that according to law dealers who pay this occupation tax will have to commence suit in the courts almost immediately after the payment {s made, It they hope to recover the money paid. Anderson Strikes Ol Hon. David Anderson owns quite a tract of land near Houston, Tex., near the newly- discovered oil fields. Yesterday Mr. An- derson received a letter stating that an oil well had been sunk near his property which was flowing at a lively rate and that the residents were greatly excited over the discovery. Already Mr. Anderson has had several offers for his fruit farm at Alvin, Tex., which is fifteen miles south of Houston. Colonel C. M. Hunt of this city also owns a large tract of land almost adjoining Mr. Anderson's property and Le 18 belug importuned to sell. County Sends Bill, Yesterday City Clerk Shrigley received a bill from the city of Omaha for $95 for care and treatment afforded Matilda Mar- tin. It s asserted in the communication attached to the bill that the Martin woman resides In South Omaba and upon becom- ing afflicted with smallpox reached Omaha in some manner and was cared for at the emergency hospital. Care and lodging ‘s charged for at the rate of $3 per day and the additional $5 Is charged up to trans- portation. The bill is signed by Dr. Coft- man, commissioner of health, HBonds Turned Dow: W. J. Hayes & Sonbs, bond brokers of Cleveland, O., have notified Clerk Shrigley that they cannot use the bonds issued .o pay the cost of layiug sewers in distrists Nos. 108, 109 and 110. The total mmounat of this fssue is $5,600. Some time ago Hayes & Sons sent for a history of the bonds and it was thought that a sale had been made, but yesterday a letter was ro- celved stating that nothing could be dono with the securities at this time.

The electric wiring was completed today and tonight there was a special illumina- tion for the benefit of the exposition officials. The spectacle was a revelation. There was no glare of arc lights, but in- candescent bulbs gleamed everywhere, on lampposts, in huge clusters, along the arch- itectural lines of facades, on eaves and root beams In crossing lines, on the convex surfaces of domes, running to the peaks of minarets, and 20,000 of them bursting into greatest splendor on the electric tower, out- lining the delicate tracery of its ornate fila- greed panels in a lustrous glow and throw- ing the entire shaft of ivory and gold into translucent relief Viewed from points of vantage downtown the picture was indeed a beautiful one, to everyone suggesting its name, ‘The Rain- | bow City."” DEACON ELLIS TO WITHDRAW Grand Rapids Member's Threat Re- s Called Meeting of | Western Assoclation, FORT WAYNE, Ind., April 27.—President Mever will call a meeting of the Western assoclation at Fort Wayne Monday at the who threatens to withdraw from the Jeaguc: Foot Ball for Next CHICAGO, April 27.—-It {8 announcea b Henry M.
