Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In- crease of Heart Trouble. Heart troubles, at least among the | Americans, are certainly increasing, and while this may be largely due to the ex- | and worry of American business | - it is more often the result of weak | £lomachs, of poor digestion. Real organic_disease is incurable, but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves,‘ the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric. In another way, also the heart is af- fected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from | half digested food. There is a feeling of | oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfer- ing with their action, hence arises pal- pitation and short breath. Poor digestion also poisons the blood, meking it thin and watery, which irri- tites and weakens the heart. The most sensible treatment for heart | troubie is to tmprove the digestion and to | insure the prompt assimilation of food. | This can be done by the regular use| atter meals of some safe, pleasant and ef.- fective digestive preparation, like Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable, harmless digestive elements in a pleasant, convenient form. It is safe to say that the regular, per- sistent use of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of| stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. TO-DAY AND T0-MORROW !

( OCTOBEKR 25, 1901, I ONDON, Oct. 2.—An error, com- mitted by some of the provincial police, has led to the premature leaking out of the fact that the War Office contemplates the pos- sibility of having to call out every volun- teer in the country. The War Office has distributed to the police officers through- out the kingdom bills ordering all re- servists, military, yeomen and volunteers, to report themselves without delay to headquarters with the view of active ser- vice.

LONDON, Oct. 25.—There is no end to the comment caused by the summary re- tirement of Sir Redvers Buller through petticoat influence at the War Office. King Edward, who has a great liking for the bluff old veteran, seems unable to stem the tide of public disaproval. The bitter hostility of Lady Roberts is be- lieved to be due to the refusal of General Buller to correct his Spjon Kop dispatches and she has used every influence to bring about the enforced retirement of Sir Red- vers. Reporting to the War Office, Lord BRAVES NIAGARA |GRASHES OVER IN A BARREL] AN EMBANKMENT NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Oct. 24— Mrs. Anna Edson Taylor, 50 years old, went over Niagara Falls on the Canadian side this afternoon and survived, a feat never before accomplished and, indeed, never attempted except in the deliberate commission of suicide. Mrs. Taylor made the trip in a barrel. Not only did she survive, but she escaped without a broken bone, her only apparent injurigs being a scalp wound, a slight coa- cussiofl of the brain, some ‘shock to her nervous system and bruises about the body. She was consclous when taken out of the barrel. The doctors in attendance upon her to-night said that though sha was somewhat hysterical her condition is not at all serious, and that she will be out of bed within a few-days. The barrel in which Mrs. Taylor made the journey is four and a half feet high and_about three feet in diameter. A leather harness and cushions inside pro- tected her body. Air was obtained through a_rubber tube connecting ' with a sma.l opening near the top of the barrel.

Superintendent Mills Reports the Inauguration of Many Reforms. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—The most im- portant feature of the annual report cf‘ Colonel A. L. Mills, superintendent of the Military Academy, relates to the measures taken for the suppression of hazing. Treating of discipline, he says: The discipline of the corps of cadets has greatly improved during the year and is now In an excellent state. It is believed no mili- tary body of its size exists which excels it in soldlerly "appearance and in the perfection of drill and military exercises, as well as in_the | higher requirements of devotion to duty. This satisfactory condition has been attained by firm adherence to the measures adopted during | the past three years to create among the cadets a higher soldierly regard for their obligations, in particular those pertaining to hazing. He then reviews what has been done, mentions the criticisms passed upon the academy and the measures taken to stop hazing, and adds: Throughout the past summer’s encampment, which is the time when new cadets are being Initlated into their new life and when haazing is ordinarily” practiced, it is a fact that the great majority of cadets have obeyed the new order of affairs and the regulations loyally and willingly. There has been no prearranged fighting and new cadet training has made ex- ceptional progress. One cadet was severely punished for giving an unauthorized and ab- | surd> order to a new cadet and another for | exceeding his authority as a drillmaster over them. The action of the latter was, it is be- lleved, through excessive zeal rather than a hazing spirit. Another reform has also b: the cadet instructors over new cadets and cadet officers exercising authority, and the substitu- tion therefor of methods appropriate for the training and education of young men to com- | mand in an American army. The reforms that have been indicated mark an important era in the history of discipline and military instruction at the academy. Dili- gence and discretion on the part of the re- sponsible officers will make these reforms per- manent without in the slightest degree mar- ing the perfection of drill, appearance and discipline. The custom among cadets of set- tling disputes or difficulties among themselves by prearranged and often brutal fist fights is over and there need be no apprehension that the stoppage of such affairs will in any way | | impair "a proper habit of against personal assaults or insult. PRCPOSE TO ESTABLISH PERMANENT BUREATU Congress Will Be Asked to Authorize the New Census Depart- ment. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24—It is expected that the Census committees of both houses of Congsess at the coming session will consider legislation looking to the establishment of a permanent census bureau. It is claimed at the Census Office that approximately three-quarters of a million dollars could be saved from the cost of the next census if the officials could profit by the knowledge and experi- ence of the present census. A quintennial manufacturing census also has been sug- | gested. The idea, so far as it has taken | shape and as it probably will be outlined in bills to be introduced in both houses, is to provide a census force of 100 or 200 peo- ple, including as far as possible experts in_each branch of the inquiry. Director Merriam to-day estimated that the total population: of the United States, including the new possessions, in 1910, will be avout 100,000,000 people. The work of the present census is progressing rapidly and the first volume of the report on the population of the United States will be out in December and the final re- port by July next. it s claimed, are being got out over three years in advance of the usual time.

Gas, Electric “and Traction Companies Are Dealt a Severe Blow. —_— SPRINGFIELD, IlL, Oct. 24—The Su- preme Court to-day affirmed the judg- ment of the Circuit Court of Sangamon Lounty in what is known as the Chicago Teachers’ Tax case. This, In effect, awards a writ of mandamus against the State Board of Equalization to compel to assess the capital stock, including fra | chises, of twenty Chicago corpor: the fair cash value of whose capital including franchises, over and above the | value of their tangible property is alleged | to agsregate $215,000,000. Thsegsugu was instituted by the State’s | Attorney of Sangamon County at the in stance of the Chicago Teachers’ Federa- tion. The court holds that the board in agses. | ing corporations does not act as a board | of review, but as an original a - stead of making a proper assessment, th court says that the board arbitrarily and willfully failed to foliow a proper and long-established rule in force in is State for making such assessments, by re- fusing to take into consideration the bonc ed indebtedness of said corporations. The also disregarded all other rules in force for the making of such assessment | sought to pass new rules for their goverr ment, refused to consider the inform furnished them by the assessors, as pro- vided by statute and assessed the company | stockand franchises of said corporations | a nominal sum instead of at the fair ca: value Teo! For these reasons, cision says, “the court is jus ing that fraud in making of such asse | ments has been established and su tended assessments may be properly di regarded and treated as noassessmentand such board be coerced by the writ of man- damus to assess such property.” | The opinion quotes the order of tha | lower court, commanding the members cf the board to convene forthwith at the | Capitol building in the County of Sanga- mon and value and passess the capital istock, including the franchises of the companies named in the manner provided | by law. CHICAGO, Oct. 24—The tax decision given to-day by the Illinois Supreme Court enjoying municipal franchises, including traction companies, gas companies and electric companies, whose total capital stock was estimated to be $388,000,000, all | of which had escaped taxation previously, | and was likely to be omitted again by the State board, which adjourned last Decem- ber without assessing this vast amount of property. | The trial of the case was begun before Judge Thompson in Springfleld, March and the decision was handed down May 2, commanding the board to reassemble June 13 and assess these corporations in accord- | ance with the rules of the board in regard | to the assessment of capital stock. But the board not only neglected to make the assessment, but repealed the rules of the board on the subject, which had been in | force for thirty years and had been sus- tained by the United States Supreme | Court as the only fair and legal plan of | assessment. What was considered the weak point In the teachers’ case was that the manda- mus was asked while the board was still in session and while it was protesting that | it meant to do the very thing which the | mandamus required. The teachers’ conten- | tion was that the board was a continuing | board and that it had refused for years to | make these assessments and that if a | mandamus could not issue untfl after the | board had adjourned it might as wel | never be issued at all, and there was ab- solutely no way to compel the board to | perform its manifest duty. The teachers’ | view of the case seems to have been sus- tained by the Supreme Court. Broad as is the sweep of this deciston in its effect, its logical results are much greater, as the decision, it is said, really applies just as well to rallroad corpora- tions and every other corporation in the State and may lead to the collection of back taxes.
