Coar.cllms'n Goebel and property owners oi Fourth ward had a conference yesterday, erenlnr with Chairman of the finance Committee Mr. Morris, cmei Engineer Harrod and AsslsUnt Engineer Raymond, of the drainage commission, with regard to' the construction of a new canal on Tonloase In this matter the orooerty owners ask that the commission build a lined canal instead exDroDrlatlng their properties, and that was the anestlon aiscussea last evening. ilsior iiarroa stated that he bad made an estimate of 'the -cost of a canal, on the new site. wnicn. lnoludJuar expropriation, would cost about S22.0UU.

A lined canal, accord ing to old prices, would be-about and at the prices prevailing at present 107,000. Mr. Goebel said that If the cost of the new csnal on the site of expropriated property would cost less than $30,000 tne property owners felt that they could not justly complain if that site was taken. But the estimate of expropriation might show differently. What a man was assessed ior and what he won sen ms property for were quite different.

If tne expropriation figures were maae up Da sea on tne assessment, tney prooaDiy would not dlscloao the coat tne dralnaste board would have to pay. However, fie thought the drainage board could see the property holders and ascertain from them what they were willing to take for their properties, if there was a disposition to sell. He believed, however, the better plan would be to build the brick canal on the present site and save property Instead of destroying it and taking that much out of assessment. Major Harrod said he would eo over the ground again and see wnat the greatest cost would be ior expropriation. THREE NEW FIRE ENGINES.

Chief O'Connor has ordered a trial of the three new Are engines recently re ceived, to take place this evening at 4:30 o'clock at Decatur and Canal streets. These engines, if acceptable, are to be Quartered, one at the engine-house of No. 1, Napoleon avenue and Pitt street: another at the engine-house of No. 28, on Broad street, near Cleveland avenue. and the third Is to be Installed In the engine-house of No.

To her a great host of sympathising friends are manifesting their heartfelt sympathy.

Some suffer most directly after eating, bloating from gas In stomach and bowels. i headaches, sleeplessness, pains In chest and under shoulder blades, some hare extreme nervousness as In nervous dys- But whatever the symptoms may be, the cause In all case of indigestion Is iirtVV, prompt digest what is eaten. This is the whole story of stomach troubles In a nutshell.

The stomach must have rest snd assistance, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by sup plying those natural digestives which every weak stomach lacks, owing to the failure of the peptic glands in the stom ach to secrete sufficient acid and pepsin to thoroughly digest and assimilate the food eaten. One grain of the active principle in Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can perform for himself in the following manner: Cut hard boiled egg into every small pieces, as It would be if masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or jar containing warm water heated to 98 degrees (the temperature of the body) and keep it at this temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as It would have been In the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment Is that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg In the bottle it will do to the egg or meat In the stomach, and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and benefit If Its digestion Is weak and the thousands of cures accom pllshed by their regular daily use are easily explained when it is understood that they are composed of vegetable es sences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingle with the food and digest it thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines, which simply irritate and Inflame the Intestines.

promptly digested there will be no con-stination. nor in fact will there be dls- ecse of any kind, because good digestion means good health in every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide, and they are sold at the moderate price 01 ou cents for full-sixed package in every drug store In the United States and Canada, as well as In Europe.

Every since Feb. the Republicans and populists have been In an agony of labor over a fusion, and it was not until yesterday afternoon that they finally agreed on the ticket printed above. They hsd locked horns for a long time on the head of the ticket, because both hsd made nominations, and neither was willing to let the other head stand, and not until Sunday evening was this deadlock broken.

when negotiations became possible. men they had a hard time finding a suitable candidate for the head of the ticket. Thev asreed unon Colonel D. W. but his principle snd ms doctor put mm out of the running, and then tney turnea to -congressman cuias.

Some talked about Duttina- Caotaln Pharr up again, and the pops seemed to oe lavoraDly disposed, towards their old candidate, but he was never seriously thought of by the leaders. Then they turned to Frank B. WHUams, but he could not be Induced to sacrtnee himself. Colonel G.

A. Breaux, of Lafayette, was spoken of, but that is asfar as his name went. Jflnally they picked up young Mr. Caffery, and with his consent secured. they went to work on the rest of the ticket.

The pop committee, with the Republi cans, held a long powwow yesteroay forenoon, and finally evolved tne ticket printed a Dove. Then, in order to formally ratify it, the Republicans called a formal meeting of their executive committee of nine, which has plenary powers. This 'meeting was held In the Godchaux building, and lasted some time. The nrst thing tney did was to organize, by electing W. K.

Howell chairman. Mr. Howell was not present. but the honor and labor of running the campaign were thrust upon mm just the same. Then they formally palled down the Alexandria ticket and nomi nated this hybrid ticket in Its place.

The dod committee will go back to Monroe and have Its executive committee do the same thing and then an effort will be made to get it on the ballot as a Re publican ticket, ailing in mis, tney wiu hare to eet it on or nouiination papers.

When he waa resident of Ouachita, he ran for the state senate against the regular Dem ocratic nominee and neat nan, ana aunug the legislative session or ihwo-w ne was alwava aliened asalnst the administration. For the past three or four years he has been a resident of New Orleans, and is practicing law here.

He has not taken much of an active part In politics of late years. He was nominated by the Repub licans for lieutenant governor at Alexandria, but In the new deal has been given the attorney generaisnip. Captain C. Taylor Cade, of Iberia parish, is a new Republican, having joined that party just before the Pharr campaign of 1896. Before that he was a strong Democrat, and was a power in that section of the state.

He was made the nominee of the Alexandria convention for governor, but the deadlock with the pops ensued, ana ne nnaiiy resigned to onng about the fusion which they desired so badly. He has gone ont to his Texas ranch, but will return in time to take an active part in tne campaign. George A.

Where Women Have Dominated Pre Deslamers. Fashionable women, as well as those who are not seeking forever to be in advance of the styles, like the sheath skirt.

Now. that all have gotten over the shock, of it and are able to discrim inate. It is admitted generally that a slender, well-rounded woman of suf ficient height Is charmingly graceful In this skirt. Women of this type are refusing to give up the fashion, or to compromise on that ugly boxpieat. The truth is that a woman who holds herself well and Is well shaped has lines about hips and back that should not be disguised too much.

She who holds herself beautifully, but is sudden at the hips and tn proportion a little large, has rea son to take the other view. Ho, too. bas the woman who Is dreadfully fiat across the back, though she may hare line bust and hips. An even carve from alp to hip across the back and a perfectly flat front mark the figure that Is ideal for the sheath skirt. All til brings It about that the stylish dressmaker, while resorting to pleated skirts, as she must do to be stylish, alms to hare them Interfere as little as possible with natural hip outlines.

Kx-pert handling is necessary to this end. bat it Is possible attainment, it was accomplished to a nicety the gown shown here. It was sketched In luster-less mauve silk grosgrarn. The skirt was in pleats all around, the pleats stitched to about the knees. The bodice was pleated to match, and had lace yoke and re vers, the former ivory white, the latter heavier1 and on the cream shade.

The mauve liberty satin belt was secured with a gilt buckle, its fringed streamers barely escaping the ground. In the tiny but unmistakable epaulet tes, this dress is evidence of another successful contest by dress wearers with dressmakers. The former simply would not have the plain sleeve for any great length of time, so though It Is but a little while since epaulettes and hke shoulder finish were tabooed, they are now reappearing, and with such indorse, ment that anyone to whom they are suited may adopt them and feel safe. Atchison Globelets. A woman is glad afterward when she refrained-' from saying something mean, but a man is sorry that he didn't say it.

There is some complaint because an Atchison man has been sick a long time, and his wife refuses to change doctors. According to the latest rumor, an At chison woman is to have the good fortune of marrying off two of her daugh ters at once. It is very rare of late that you see a girl with a braid down her back that looks like taffy candy that has been pulled a long time. A woman has a ternoie struggle wrtn her conscience if she feels that she didn't straggle enough with her husband to get mm to cnurcn. The Gyataaiiam Clmas.
