Sir Wilirid Laurier, in 'a recent ad- dress, quoted the figures of Mr. Col- lingwood Scliriver, the government y r, with regard to the cost of # Grand Trunk Pacific. railway between Quebec and will cost $25,000 per mile, railway between Quebec and $328,000 per mile. Add twen: "per cent., as Mr. Fielding has and the cost of the railway i Moncton to Winnipeg, 400 miles, | be $12,500,000, and for the 1,475 miles from Winnipeg to Quebec, $51, | 625,000. The interest on construction is ostimated to be 87,031,975. So that the total capital of $64,125,000 and interest. of 37,081,975, makes a total cost of $71,156,975. 2 Now the cash interest, upon that sam for seven years, is estimated by the officers of the government to be worth $10,655,562. Upon the other side, in the mountain section, Mr, , conservative, of Hamilton, . mated it at $25,000 per milo. This 'makes a total cost of the mountain section of $26,838,000. The govorn- ment guarantees 'the intrest on three- fourths of that amount, which is $20, : 160,000, and pays the interest for The opponents of Mr. Aylesworth circulated the lie in West Durham that the liberal candidate is not a Chris tian.

Its conclusion is that the road]: will cost the government $26,000,000 in cash.

The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eat- ing, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of guses, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, headaches, fickle appetite, Nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is oftén a foul taste in "the mouth, coated tongue and if the in- terior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed eon: n. he cure for this common and ob- stinate trouble is found in a treat- mont which causes - the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it bas time to ferment and irritate the delicate mue¢ous - surfaces of the sto- mach, To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do aml when normal diges- tion is secured the eatarrhal condi- tion will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use aiter cach meal a tablet, composed of diastase, aspetic, pepsin, a little Nux, golden seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with per- fect safety and assurance that healthy appetite ahd thorough digestion will, follow their regular use after meals: Mr. R. S. Workmen, Chicago, Ills, writes : "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge there: from pass- ing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, this producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach 'without cure, buy to-day I am the happiest of men ai ter using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, I cannot find ap- propriate words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient re- medy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating af ter meals.

DEBAUCHING STUDENTS. Pajd To Take Part In Conserva- tive Procession. Montreal, Oct. 18.--The Witness, whose political independence is seldom impugned, publishes the following yes- terday : The conservative campaign fund is without doubt considerably lighter to-day than it was before the big processiop on Saturday night, which purported to be representative of the iriends and supporters of Mr. Borden. Numerically, the demonstration was of- huge dimensions, but that'is easily accounted for when the fdct is kmown that at least twelve students, and doubtless many more who took part, were offered $1.50 each to 'do so, the contract calling not only for their presence, but also the unstinted use of their lungs and vocal organs in wild, hilarious acclaims of the' chief- tain. Some of the boys, with cooler heads and sounder judgment, were highly indignant at this barefaced at- tempt to 'corrupt them, and did not hesitate to say so in language more foreible than elegant. Others, how- ever (there were over a thousand in the procession), like all students, ever ready for a little excitement with a latent prospect of a shindy at the wind-up, fell into the trap and = ac septed the lucre, in nine cases out of ten with never a thought of the hein- ous nature of the whole thing. Every one rode in cabs, as much ground had to be covered, and it never would have done for the boys fo drop out before all the divisions had been cov- ered and an equal amount of noisy enthusiasm had Been distributed among the electors without fear or favor. But the organizers of the party demonstration did not ..stop there.
