VANDERBILT PATENT**
New York, April 26.Following in
line with his former inventions of new
and useful improvements in locomo
tives, Cornelius Vanderbilt has just re
ceived from the patent office at Wash
ington letters patent on a steam gener
ating appliance which he asserts will
in fifty-three particular ways work to
advantage in boiler construction.
In his application for a patent, Mr.
Yanderbilt explains in a general way
the advantages to be derived by such
departures in boiler construction as
planned in his new steam generating
device. "This invention," he says,
"has for its general object to improve
the construction and increase the effi
ciency of locomotive .steam engines,
with special reference to the running
gear or frame, which perform the usual
functions, such as maintaining the axles
in parallelism and.supporting the boiler
and other parts of the locomotive."
All claims advanced by Mr. Vander
bilt were allowed by the patent office.

BLUE STAMP HOST
RAIDS A STORE
Women, Attracted by Rumor
Failure, in Bun on Trading
Stamp Concern.
of
New York, April 26.Bank runs of
history must give way before the new
est kindthe run on' the bankrupt trad
ing stamp store.
Eumor rides the wind when banks are
in straits, but the wind blows chiefly in
business quarters. A trading stamp
rumor beats the wind, and moves amo'n'g
the homes.
When a petition in bankruptcy was
filed against the Benedict & MacFar
lane Blue Trading Stamp company
from the Battery to the Bjronx and
from Richmond Hill to Patersbn, N. J.,
there flocked to Twenty-third street be
tween Sixth and Seventh avenues, the
Blue Trading Stamp army. The terri
ble tidings had, in some mysterious
way, gone forth that the trading stamp
concern was about to close its 1,60()
odd stores a'n'd blue ruin stared in the
face of every "book" holder.
Pale-faced and anxious-eyed, the army
began to arrive soon after daylight. It
was made up entirely of women and
children. Practically every other wom
an had a baby carriage, and the others
either had children clingi'n'g to their
skirts or in their arms. And every one
held in a vise-like clutch a bunch of
blue trading stamp books.
Desperation on Faces.
No ban/k run was ever like this. Des

in th%|scfamble and had to be boarded
up. -Policemeif, after half an hour's
work, succeeded in forming the mob
into lines two abreast a'n'd keeping open
a narrow passage for pedestrians.
Thereafter the people were only, ad
mitted two at a time.
As the morning grew the crowd in
creased in size, until at one time over
600 growling, Snarling, angry women
clamored for admission to the store.
Policemen O'Flahertv a'n'd Baury had

M\
as originally designed by Stephenson
and the steam generating appliance in
vented by Mr. Vanderbilt. as a lay
man would see it, is that the old boiler
has horizontal flues, thru which the
fire blast draws heat, and these flues
are surrounded by water, while Mr.
Vanderbilt's boiler has vertical pipes
or flues, and they are filled with water
and surrounded oy the fire blast.
The steam is thus generated in these
multiple tubes and paases vipwarcl to
two large horizontal tanks, from which
it is drawn into the cylinders of the
engine. By this arrangement the cold
water coming into the boiler does not
interfere with the water that is heated
and generating steam.
The exterior of the Vanderbilt mul
titubular boiler will not .be different
from the old locomotive in shape. Me
chanics are at work at the Rogers loco
motive works turning out locomotives
with the Vanderbilt steam generating
appliance. According to tests, it is said
the new generator will work great sav
ing in the cost of fuel.'

A common grievance made the whole
crowd km and they poured forth their
tales of woe in" shrill voices that some
times reached to the end of the line.
Suddenly there came a wild burst of
rage from the middle of the line and
screams of "Say, Mr. Policeman!"
"Hey, there, cop, put her out!" "She's
a buttin' in!"
A big fat woman, who had arrived
late, had hovered around the crowd un
til she saw a small hole up near the
front and quietly stepped into it
unly
noticed, as she hoped. But a score of
hawkeyed women who had been in line
for hours spotted her and a perfect
Babel arose.
Policeman Baury approached the of
fender and told her she would have to
go back.
"Why,, the idea! What do you
mean? How dare you 1 I'll have you
reported for insulting a lady! I've
been here for hours!" she declared
in haughty 'tones.
"Oh, Just listen- to her!" "Say,

a lady under no circumstances!" "Put

rent the air, followed by "Serve her

step out.
Babies Near the Line.
As the afternoon wore on, women
placed the oldest children toehold their
places in line while they went to care
for their babies moored in perambu
lators at various points in the neighbor
hood. Some produced lunches from,
their pockets, and whole family parties"
squatted on the curbstone and consumed
their repast.
Late in the afternoon a woman came
out of the store and confided to an anx
ious group that there was nothing in the
store.
"They are just cleaned right out,"
she said. "There's nothing in there
but great big things like furniture and
statuary, which you have to have .just
hundreds of books for. I think it's rast

Bas-
who
was convicted ot the murder of Byron Stoudara
at Langdon and sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary, is circulating a petition in Cava
lier county asking for the pardon of Hartzell
on the ground that'he bste^ been" sufficiently punr
ished. The petition is to go io the starboard
of pardons at the June meeting and. h^ts, been
liberally signed in Cavalier county. O
Judge Fisk, who tried the case for Judge
Kneeshajv. and State's Attorney George M. Price
have both declined to sign the petition, so that
it is hardly expected it will be of avail. Judge
Fifi'k has signed the statement of facts, which
is to accompany the petition.
Byron Stoddard owned a farm near Langdon,
and Hartzell and Baseom owned an adjoining
farm. They had quarreled over a road, and
Stoddard is charged with having cut a wire
fence and driven thru a wheat field owned by
the others. They met at the opening where
Stoddard emerged from the wheat fields, some
words followed and Hartzell shot Stoddard. Bas
eom was tried as an accomplice and was ac

THE BOOT OF TEE BIATTEH.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down to
First Principles.
A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities, by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be
gan to pay nature's tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach, trouble the
failure of his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability making
itdail
lm-
to. his
and finally deranging the kid
neys and heart.
In his own words he says: I con
sulted one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my case,
but all the same they each failed to
bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor. Ybr two
vears I went from pillar to post, from
one sanatorium to another I gave up
smoking, I quit coffee and even re
nounced my daily glass or two of beer,
but without any marked improvement.
Friends had often advised me ,to
try a Well-known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedy, but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe a fifty-cent patent medi
cine would touch my case.
"To make along story short, I final
bought a couple of-packages at the
nearest drugstore and took two or three
tablets after each meal and occasion
ally a tablet between meals jrheh I felt
anv feeling of nausea or discomfort.
I was surprised at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general
health, and before the two packages
were gone I "was certain that Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets were going to cure
completely, and they did not disap
point me. I can eat and sleep and en
joy my coffee and cigar, and no one
would suppose I had ever known the
horrors oi dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity I wrote
to the proprietors of the remedy, ask
ing for imformation as to what the
tablets contained, and they replied that
the principal ingredients were aseptic
pepsin (government test), malt diastase
and other natural digestives, which di
gest food regardless of the condition
of the stomach."
The root of the matter is this: The
digestive elements contained in Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets, will digest the
food, give the overworked stomach a
chance to recuperate and the nerves
and the whole system receive the nour
ishment which can only come from
food stimulants and nerve tonics never
give real strength, they give a fictitious
strength, invariably fojlowed by reac
tion. Every drop of blood, every nerve
and tissue is manufactured from our
daily food, and if you can insure its
prompt action and complete digestion
DV the regular use of so good and
wholesome a remedy as Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, you will have no need
of nerve tonics and sanatoriums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets have been in theC market Only a
few years, yet probably every druggist
in the United States, .[a4afd and Great
Britain now sells thenoa^id considers
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach ^rouble.

pany for permanent injuries received in a run
away accident on Oct. 31 last.
At the time of the accident the Stewart fam
ily lived on a farm in Rye township. Mrs.
Stewart and her daughter bad been in the city
shopping and started home in the evening. When
on Skidmore avenue and near the intersection
of North Fifth street, a loose wire dangling
from one of the telephone poles became en
tangled in the wheels of the buggy in which
they were riding. This frightened their horse
and it ran away, throwing the women to the
ground. Mrs. Stewart was almost scalped and
wits otherwise painfully bruised. Miss Stewart
sustained a broken arm and was also badly
bruised about the body. They were taken to
a hospital, and it is asserted that their injuries
have resulted in permanent disability. Mra.
Stewart asks for $10,000 and Miss Stewart for
$5,000. The cases will come on at the June
term of the district court.

Mrs. Hans Bngen committed suicide at Albert,

She is supposed to have been slightly demented.
Hillsboro Must Fight Damage Case.
Mrs. Tonnetta B. Thompson has begun an ac
tion in the district court at Hillsboro against
Jens Grondahl and the city of Hillsboro for
damages of ?2,000. She stepped into a hole
in "the sidewalk In front of property owned by
Grondahl. This was on Nov. 29, 1903, and she
alleges permanent injuries in the shape of a

the costs and disbursements of the action. The
case will be tried at Hillsboro.

A Source of Constant Worry
and an Injury to Health.
Whenever a sore or nicer refuses to heal it is a sure sign that there is something
wrong with the blood. It is not healthy as it should be, but infected with some germ or
perhaps old blood taint that has lain dormant in the system for years awaiting a favorable
opportunity for manifesting itself. Then often an insignificant scratch, cut or bruise will
develop into a festering sore that resists all treatment and becomes a source of daily care
and worry, affecting the entire health and causing the sufferer many hours of anxiety.
Those most usually afflicted with sores and ulcers are persons who have reached or passed
middle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to
wane, and the poisonous germs with which it is saturated force an outlet on the face, arms,
legs or some other part of the body and form a sore or ulcer. This being fed by a poisoned
blood supply, grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it be-
comes what is very aptly termed "an old sore." While the old or middle-aged are the usual
sufferers, the young are not exempt if the blood becomes infected with the germs.
How aggravating and stubborn these places are can best be told by some person who
has nursed and treated one for years, applying salves, powders, washes and the like until
his patience is exhausted and with no good results. The sore or ulcer remains and co-
tinues its work of destruction by eating deeper into the surrounding flesh, and distributing
its poisonthrough the circulation to all parts
of the body to affect the general health.
The fact that often a wart, mole, pimple. or
birthmark, that for years showed no signs of
trouble, will sometimes, with a little rough
handling or slight cut, develop into one of
these stubborn ulcers, shows conclusively
that the cause is in the blood. Not only are
they painful, but dangerous, because the
same taint that is behind an "old sore"
is back of cancerous ulcers.
The practice of cutting out the diseased part and scraping the bone is often resorted to^
but these severe measures seldom do any good. The sore may be removed and for a time
heal over, but the same poison that produced it the first time is still in the blood, because
the blood cannot be cut away, and it will return. Nor can external applications be of any
permanent benefit for the reason that the trouble is beyond their reach and they cannot
possibly have any ^ffect on the germs and poisonsthe most they can do is relieve the pain.
The only treatment that can do any real good is a competent blood purifierone that
goes to the very root of the trouble and forces out the cause and for this purpose nothing
has ever been found to equal- S. S. S. It goes to the fountain-head of the disease, drives out
all poison and morbid matter, reduces the inflammation and allows the sore to heal natu-
rally and permanently. Not only does S. S. S. purify the blood of all poisons and germs,{
but builds it up, making it strong and healthy and able to supply every part of the body
with sufficient and proper nourishment to keep it!
in perfect health, S. S. S. is purely vegetable, being,
i made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, and is not!
'only the king of blood purifiers, but the greatest of all
tonics to strengthen the constitution, restore the vitality,
help the appetite and digestion, and tone up the system.
If you have a sore that is slow in healing do not.
waste time with external applications, or experiment!
witi Unknown remedies, but begin the use of S. S. S. and by removing the cause, cure the|
trouble permanently. ^JJox special book on sores and ulcers and any medical advice will bej

Some years ago I was shot in the left leg, receiving whftt
I considered only a slight wound. It developed into a run
ning sore, and gave me a great deal of pain and inoonven
ienoe. I was treated by many doctors, and took a number
of blood remedies, but none did me any good, and did not
seem to check the progress of the sore. I had heard
S. S. S. highly recommended for the blood, and concluded
to give it a trial, and the vesuH was gratifying. S. 8. 8.
seemed toget right at the trouble, and forced the poisom
out of my blood soon afterwards the sore healed np and
was cured sound and well. I am sure S. S. S. is by fat
the best blood remedy made.
