In Training in Montenegro to Fight , the Austrians. Chicago, Jan. 4. An army of Ama zons trained to wage war on the Aus trian empire ia the newest body to take up the profession of arms, ac cording to Dr. Spiro Sargentich, com missioner, of health of Tacoma, Wash ington, now speeding westward from Chicago, en route from Montenegro, where he went to offer his services to his former ruler and watched the women of Montenegro training for a possible war with Austria. "When we read in the 'Iliad' of the women who helped in the siege of Troy we were positive that we would not encounter a similar condition in our every day life." declared the west ern health commissioner. ' "In our little country of Monten egro, where the designa of Austria, become more and more galling as the days go by our women are preparing for a possible fray. Daily they drill and practice with their rifles and re volvers, and when trouble does come they will fight side by ride with the 70,000 men who comprise our fighting force." The man who is health commis sioner of an American city still refers to Montenegro as "his country." for he has served in the Montenegrin and Austrian armies and wears the Order of Prince Danilo I, conferred on him a month ago. 1 Japs and Chinese at Football.

THE RED CROSS PHARMACY ' Matt Weigtatman, Jr. 835 Kan. Ave. Philadelphia, Jan. 4. Francis J. Hen ey of San Francisco, who prosecuted the "graft" cases in that citv, in a speech at the City club, declared that E. H. Harriman of New York, through his control of the Southern Pacific rail road, was responsible for the "graft" and corruption in the Golden Gate city. With Abe Ruef and Harriman was linked the head of the United Railways corporation of San Francisco by Mr. Heney, but the real boss, he said, sits in New York and has as one of his chief agents in California W. F. Her rin, general counsel of the Southern Pa cific railroad. "San Francisco is no worse and no better than the average American city." Mr. Heney said, "with the single ex ception, of course, of Philadelphia, and even here you have nothing like that we unearthed in my city. But the causes of corruption are the same in all cities. Two Kvil Forces Working. "In San Francisco we found two ele ments at work. Coming from one source was the public service corporation and from another was the saloons and dives, whiie behind our backs these forces joined hands. "In this unholy alliance the boss was the connecting link, but he was simply the agent of the real boss the big bus iness man who wanted to exploit the public service corporation. The political boss really was the small duck in the pond. Behind him was the public ser vice corporation and the Southern Pa cific railroad "According to my deduction, the head of the legal department of the Southern Pacific railroad, W. F. Herrin, was the boss behind all, the tool of the actual boss Harriman." For a moment the auditors sat dazed by the daring character of this indict ment, then burst into prolonged applause. Chicago, Jan. 4. Under a Washing ton date the Record-Herald today prints a resume by William E. Curtis of the work of the reclamation service in the west, which, he declares "has now reached a point where resulats can be enumerated without boasting." "Thirty-one different enterprises," he says, "have been in progress, of which nine are entirely completed and ten more are more than half done. "The total area that will be redeem ed when the entire thirty-one enter prises are completed will be 2,292,346 acres and the estimated cost will be $89,431,600, of which $42,091,000 has already been expended. Some of these enterprises are very interesting. That at Vinidoka, Idaho, diverts water from the Snake river on both banks, and when the pumping works are completed about sixty thous and acres, now covered with sage brush on either side, can be brought under cultivation. "The Pavette-Boise project, which is about half completed, provides ior me storage of water upon botn tne t-ayette and Boise rivers for the irrigation of 132,000 acres, at a cost of nearly five million dollars. "The Salt river project in Arizona, which is intended to irrigate about 250.000 acres of very fertile land in the vicinity of Phoenix, is in many respects the most interesting of all the govern ment enterprises. "The. nroiect as a whole is aDout a per cent completed, and it is expected that the entire work will be finished in 1910 "The Yuma project, which is about half completed, at an expenditure of nearly $3,000,000. provides for the di version of the Colorado river on botn banks about 12 miles northeast or tne town of Yuma. It will redeem 17,u acres of an Indian reservation on the California side and bout ,75,000 acres of land on the Arizona side at a total estimated cost of - $5,635,000. "The Gunnison river will be divert ed from its present chaiineK'through a tunnel six miles long into thebeautiful Uncompahgre valley in southwestern Colorado, a portion of which is already under private irrigation. This project when completed will redeem 146,000 acres of desert, and the cost will be five and a half millons- of dollars. "There have been several projects to redeem the rich soil around the city of El Paso, where Texas. Mexico and New Mexico have a common interest, and the United States has proposed to expend $8,000,000 to redeem 160,000 acres of land and give a certain supply of water to about 20,000 acres more. "The waters of the North Platte river in Nebraska are to be gathered into a large reservoir about fifty miles above Caspar. Wyo.. and used for the reclamation of the North Platte valley between that town and Bridgeport, Neb. This will cost $4,000,000. "What is known as the Shoshone project, eight miles above Cody, Wyo.. is intended to irrigate 150.000 acres of land and, excepting the El Paso and the Salt River projects, will be the most expensive undertaken by the gov ernment.

Jack John son, provided Corbett could stand the training necessary. Asked if he thought that Corbett was in earnest in saying that he would fight Johnson, the retired champion replied that he did not think he was. "Johnson does not class with men like Corbett or Fitzsimmons. ' said Jeffries. "He would have no show to beat either of them if they could get back in half the form they showed when they held the title. Corbett is not too oid to train again and might be able to get into condition to show osme of his old time form. If he did Johnson could not warm him up." FIVE BUILDINGS BURNED.

Don't Blame Your Stomach When Without Exertion or Cost You Can Enjoy Meis and Cure Dyspepsia. Don't blame your stomach or your luck when your meals declare war on your system. When the stomach won't do its work it is because it cannot. When foul smelling odors come from your stomach, when the head aches and the sourness of mouth every morn ing makes you hate your breakfast, when dreams and nightmare assail you, don't give up the fight. This is the appeal of nature, and it should be heard. Over-eating, late suppers, poorly chewed food, too rich pastries and under-done cooking are some of the causes of the stomach's ill health. When the stomach is busy, it presses and churns all the liquid matter from food and with its juices dissolves into liquid form or pulp everything which comes into it. If such food be poisonous it effects the juices, attacks the stomach, goes into the blood and weakens the entire system. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest a full meal easily without material as sistance from the stomach. They will restock the gastric fluid with all the elements needed. They build up the blood, destroy sour taste, bad breath, belching, stomach and bowel trouble and quickly restore natural conditions. One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets will digest 3.000 grains of food in the stomach or in a glass vial without aid of the human digestive apparatus. The method of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the methods of Nature. They contain every requisite for the stomach and digestion. After a meal one of these little tablets when it en ters thp st r im i f)i mine-lea with the f juices, attacks the food and digests it. bined churches of It removes tne rermented and decayed mass, lying stagnant there and eases the stomach at once. It is wholly a question for you to solve. Your druggist will furnish Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets 0c the box. or send us your name and address and we will send you trial package free. Address. F. A.

Some persons in this New York, Jan. 4. The appearance of John X. Rockefeller's memoirs occa sioned somewhat of a surprise, but the announcement that he had a hand in the writing of Cleveland Moffet's play, "The Battle," now appearing at a local theater, caused even more com ment as to the unique versatility of the oil man.
