CATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
Effectual Cure for It.
Catarrh of the stomach hat: long
been considered the next thing to in
eurable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating.
mi'iuiiHiiiieu sometimes Willi pour or
watery risings, a formation of guses,
causing pressure on tho heart and
lungs and dllllcult breathing; head
aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
1 here Is often a foul taste In the
mouth, coated tongue and if the Inter
ior of the stomach could bo een it
would shoe.- a slimy, Inllamed condi
tion. The cure of this common and obsti
nate trouble is found In a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and Irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy diges
tion is the one necessary thing to do
nnd when normal digestion Is secured
the catarrhal condition v. Ill have disap
peared. According to Dr. Harlausou the saf
est and best treatment Is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dlat
ase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Ntix, Gold
en Seul and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at nil drug stores un
der tho name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being a patent medi
cine can be. used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Iiooher, of 2T10 Dearborn
street, Chicago, III., writes: "Catarrh
le a local condition resulting from a
neglected cold In the head, whereby
the lining membrane of the nose be
comes Inllamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom passing backward
Into the throat reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for me
for three years for catarrh of stomach
without cure, but today I am the hap
piest of men after using only one box
of Stuart'H Dyspepsia Tablets. I can
not llnd appropriate words to express
my good feeling. I have found ilesh,
appetite and 3ound rest from their
use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is tho saf
est preparation as well us tho sliupleot
and most convenient remedy for any
form of Indigestion, catarrh of stomach,
biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn
and bloating after meals.

CONDITION OF COAL TRADE.
Set Sorth in the Engineering and
Mining Journal.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
of Saturday had the following review
ot the anthracite coal trade:
Though the warmer weather of the past
wiek has lessened buying for iminedlatn
wants, pintle ilarly in the we.si, yet tho
tradu is In far better simp than a
Jiur uso. The consumption m far tills
winter has been Janvier than In u num
ber of years, and there Is very little fault
tlnilliig among producers compared with
the chorus of complaints that has been
heard at his season i many times in ilie
pat-t.
Tim talk of combinations continues;
inueli of It is Wall street tumor of the
wildest kind. As a sample we note tho
siory sent out tuna 1'lillailelimla that a
'ompatiy with fc.O.Cuii,iioo capital was to
bo formed to control tho output. As the
nagregate capital stock of tho live prin
cipal rouds mining and hauling coal
amounts to over $2G0,0O0,0!W, It Is uvldt at
that !:u'Mn.oii0 Is not quite enou?h to
control the anthracite trade.
Another Wall street story was that
the Individual operators wtri not going
to build their projected road from Scran
ton. but would let the old roads hanuio
their coal and take (3 per cent, of the i.e.11
ing pi Ice Instead of 60 ivr cent., as at
present. How un Inetcaso of 3 per cent,
would benefit the imllvlduul operators lit
case tho roads furnish them less cam It
Is bard to see. Thu Individual operate!
would doubtless be ulad to havo 40 per
cent, of the selling pilce or less, If th-y
could run full time the year round.
There U doubtless h foundation for
some of this talk. It is hinted that On
tario and Western may bo removed as a
factor In tho coal business something af
ter tho manner of New York, Susque
hanna nnd Western.
Business In the east rules steady, buy
ing Is from hand to mouth, but stocks
scarce. Prices are practically uuehang -d,
and we quote for freo burning white ush

CONTROL OF THE
HARD COAL OUTPUT
PLAN DEVISED BY INTER
ESTED OAPITALISTa
The Intention Is to so Regulate Mat
ters That Fighting and Cutting
Will Bo Dono Away with Entirely.
Individual Operators Are to Re
ceive Proper Troatmcnt, Which
Will Mean That tho Project to
Build a Road of Thoir Own Will
Be Abandoned.
Concerning the much discussed nn
thractte coal combination, the New
York Herald yesterday said:
Comprehensive plans for the read
justment of the entire anthracite coal
trade have been drawn up and are
about to be put Into operation. The
Herald Is In n position to give the facts,
which have thus far been carefully con
cealed. As heretofoie mentioned, the anthra
cite railroads are now controlled by a
small group of men, who do not need
to hold formal meetings, but who ills.
cuss matters quietly and then Rive or
ders to their subordinates to put their
plans Into execution.
Tlietv men for some time have been
at work on a scheme that would have
none of the objectionable features of u
trust and which could not be attacked
by legislation, but which would pro
dlice as effective results as were pos
sible under McLeod's famous Heading
combination.
Th
new project will be far reaching
In Its effects, and the public will see
the first fruits of it about Feb. 1, or .
soon after, when an advance of twen- !
ty-ilve cent a ton In all varieties will ,
be made. This is probably the only
advance that will be made this season,
and It will bring the price of stove coal
only up to ubotit $1.10 of 14.25 a ton,
compared with Jt.7." to $3 a ton, which
Mr. McLeod aimed to mako it by a
series of advances that aroused public
condemnation.
Before Mr. McLeod took hold, anthra
cite coal was selling at about $t a ton
for the stove variety, so that the pro
posed advance will make the price very
little higher than It was before the
famous combination was formed. And
yet by the new methods that are to bo
Introduced It is calculated that tho
trade will be put in us good condition
as It ever was, and it is believed by
coal men that the railroads and min
ing companies will have a flourishing
year before them.
CONTROLLED BY A FEW MEN.
After the old pool went to pieces as
an Illegal organization the business
went from bad to worse, and It was
decided by powerful bankers and rail
road men that the only solution of the
problem was to got control of the re
calcitrant roads' and lodge the man
agement of all of them In a few hands.
During the last three years this has
been done, and now three or four
groups of men, Including J. P. Morgan,
the Vanderbllts and the First National
bank Interests, control the situation.
Here Is their plan for the great com
bination which shall be more palatable
to the nubile than the I tend In u- Cinl
Trust:
Having agreed among themselves as
to the percentages that each of the an
thracite rnllroadu should mine, they set
about to make peace with the Indi
vidual operators who represent about
twenty-five per cent, of the output, and
who In the past have proved a source
of demoralization by marketing their
coal at a considerably less rate than
the schedule published by the railroads.
The Individual operators for some
time stood out for a percentage of
sixty-five per cent, of the tidewater
price of anthracite coal as their pio
portlon of the selling price, the rail
roads being asked to accept forty per
cent, for the freight un their phare ot
the profits. The arrangement under
which the coal of the operators has
been carried by most of the companies
during the last few years is sixty per
cent, to the operators. Before that th.3
division used to be equal.
The railroads refused to give sixty
five per cent., but as an offset to mak
ing the barfs sixty per cent, to the In
dividual producers they have reached
an understanding with seventy-five per
cent, of all the operators to allow them
a larger part of the tonnage than they
have been getting, on the understand
ing that prices are to be maintained.
By this arrangement the operators
will benefit as greatly as the railroads
and will be able to keep their mines
running every day, where they used to
run full time only perhaps two or three
days n week.
LARGER PROFITS ALL AROUND.
While the mining companies con
trolled by the railroads may not turn
out quite so much coal themselves,
still It is calculated that they will get
more money than heretofore for their
output and the railroads will be doubly
benefitted. They will get Just as much
tonnage as before, and they will re
ceive better lolls, since there has been
a great deal of rate cutting by reason
of competition, which will now be done
away with.
Tho settlement with the Individual
operators solves the hardest problem In
connection with the trade, since the
accumulation of the control of the an
thracite railroads in a few hands has
put nn end to reckless competition, and
theio Is no longer any trouble about
percentages. for more than a year

It May Help You. "
" When my Uttlo boy was six years old
he had an attack of tho measles, and alter
recovering he wan reatlees at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretful.
Later oa, large blotches and sores broke
out on hli face and limbs. Wo were told
they would heal In a few days; but
these (ew days grew Into months. One
day my husband, who Is a well-known
railroad man, was advised by some of his
fellow workmen to give the boy Hood's
Sarsaparllla, Wo concluded to do bo, and
after he had taken the first bottle we
noticed some ImproTement. We kept on
giving hlui this medicine until ho had
taken three bottles, when he was com
pletely cured, and he has been well ever
since." Mns. E. J, Milieu, Bennett, Pa.

far as they woro concerned themselves.
The trouble has been to regulate the
Individual operators, who became so
high handed that they threatened to
build a Una of their own to tidewater,
and make freight rates and prices that
would prove disastrous to the railroads.
It Is understood that this project will
be abandoned and measutes will bo
taken to see that the operators get
their share of the tonnage, as has boon
promised. There will be no "earmarks"
of it combination, but each railroad
company will deal with Its own opera
tors and see that they nre properly
treated,
LITTLE ADVANCE IN PRICE.
The matter of price to bo chatged the
public has been considered by the an
thracite .companies in all Its phases,
and while the Inclination of the bank
ing interests Is to establish a general
selling company and do away with th
sales agents nnd middle men, it has
been deemed Inadvisable to do so at the
present time, since It might tslvo tho
appearance of a trust and might arouso
legislation.
The central selling agency plan Is,
therefore, hold In abeyance, but the
companies have Informed tho whole
salers that they must not make an nd
vance ordered by the railroads, but
i that the wholesalers must bear a part
, of tho burden themselves, unlets they
want to see the companies put a Joint
selling agency Into effect nnd do away
with the middlemen altogether.
It Is calculated that the middlemen
and retailers make from Jt to J1.2."i on
every ton marketed, which is out of all
proportion, the companies say, to what
the dealers should make. The com
panies nre net dHimsed to take thlng.4

They declare that anthracite prices
could not be advanced much even If
they were disposed to do so, for bitu
minous coal really regulates the mar
ket and would drive out a large part
of the anthracite product If a prohib
itive price were established.
MEANS MILLIONS IN DIVIDENDS.
In order to better regulate tho hard
coal trade steps are being taken to
place soft coal on a bettor basis. The

As Indicating the great benefits that
will accrue to the nnthrnclte cool rail
roads under the new plan, It mny be
stated that a twenty-five cent advance
on three-quarters of tho annual output
say 30,000,0(10 tons means $7,500,000
clear again, to which no operating ex
penses are attached. This is equal to
a four per cent, extra dividend on
nearly $200,000,000 capital stock.
