Itesldents of South Bromley nvenue view the approach of winter, with Us thaws and slush, and spring, with Its accompanying freshets and rainstorms, with equanimity. The sewer, which when It was first built years nso, was adequate for all purposes along the blocks between Jackson and Washburn streets, but during the last few years this block has been built up extensive ly and theadded sewerage has gone be yond the capacity of the sewer to carry it oft, except under the most favorable conditions or when no great fall of rain has occurred. It was then an eight-Inch pipe and two small basins. Many times has the sewer allowed the overplus of sewer age to back Into cellars and upon lots near the lowest level on the avenue. Complaint after complaint was made, but no relief was found. This spring, however, Councllmen Williams and Walker, of the Fifth ward, managed to secure a sufficient appropriation for the defraying of the necessary expense of altering the sewer. Hidswere called for and a few months ago Flanagan & O'llara, contractors, were awarded the contract, which called for the replacing of the eight inch pipes with twelve-Inch pipes and getting a little more grade. The pres ent basins will also be enlarged. The contractors have been engaged at the work for gome time and expect to finish up in a week or so. MALE PARTY ORGANIZED.

The Epworth League society of the INTENSE SUFFERING. From Dyspepsia aud Stomach Trouble. Instantly Relieved nnd Permanently Cured by Stuart's Dyhpepsla Tablets, A New Discovery, But Not a Patent Medicine. Dr. ncdwell' relates an Interesting account, of what he considers a re mnrkablo cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the ueo of tho now discovery, Stunrt's Dys pepsia Tnblets. He says: Tho patient was a man who had suffered to my knowledge for years with dyspepsia. Everything ho ute seemed to sour nnd create acid nnd gases In the stomach: he had pains like rheumatism In the back, shoulder blades nnd limbs, fullness and distress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; tho heart became affect ed, causing palpitation and sleepless ness nt night. 1 gave him powerful nervo tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment I finally bought a fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store and gave them to him. Almost immediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes he was to all appearances fully cured. There was no more acidity or sour watery risings, no bloating after meals, tho appetite was vigorous and ho has gained between 10 and 3.2 pounds In weight of solid, healthy flesh. Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold In drug stores yet I consider them a most valuable addition to any physician's line of rem edies, ns thoy are perfectly harmless and can be given to children or in valids or In any condition of tho stomach with perfect safety, being harmless nnd containing nothing but vegetable and fruit essences, pure pep sin and Uolden Seal. Without any question they aro tho safest, most effective euro for Indiges tion, biliousness, constipation and all derangements of tho stomach however slight or severe. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by tho Stuart Co., of Marshall, Mich., and sold by druggists everywhere at fifty cents pr package.
