TANGLEFooT MILLS TO BE SHUT.
The Whisky Trust Will Close Down Its
Running DistiIleries.

PEORIA, Ills. June THE board of di-
rectors of the Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing company have concluded their local
labors and adjourned. The company has
concluded to shut down for an indefinite
period every distillery operated by the
trust throughout the country. There
are three of the eighty owned by them
now running. These are the Great West
erp, the Monarch and the Manhattan. The
Great Western will close down the latter
part of this week. The Monarch will close
as soon as they have disposed of their cat
tie and the Manhattan is only running a
few hundred bushels by way of expert
ment with the koji process.
The seeding houses are also debating
the question whether they will permit the
trust people to further withdraw the
spirits on hand or hold OF to the goods
themselves. They claim that the govern
ment will be with them, as Uncle Sam does
not recognize the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding company, but the owners of the
several plants who are in possession. Per-
mits Tor the legauge and the withdrawal
of the spirits are granted to each of the
several houses and not to the trust. They
claim to have the advantage in the legal
battle impending, possession is nine
tenths of the law

A TRIP TO EUROPE.

Rev. NJ. A. Nordstrom has Words of
Praise for the Scott Medical Insti-
tute-Catarrh of the Nose, Throat
and Stomach.
Rev NJ. A. Nordstrom says: Il
am a clergyman residing at Wood
hull, Ill, and have frequently
thought / would have to resign my
charge. The cause of my trouble
was catarrh, and that in its worst
form, as have been so informed by
noted specialists in Europe and
America. l grew very weak, had
severe headache, and spots would APP
pear before my eyes, mucus dropped
continually into my throat, and,
passing into my stomach, caused dis
tressing pain. l became deaf-in
fact so bad | could scarcely hear.

TAKE TREATMENT NOW,

Time and again the physicians of
the Scott Medical Institute have adj
vised patients in desperate stages of
catarrhal trouble to wait until sum-
mer before taking treatment. Time
and again they have urged the neces-
sity of taking treatment while the
weather was favorable to a cure.
Now is that time. Those who SUI
fer from catarrh should take advan-
tage of all the influences that operate
now in favor of a cure. They should
not put off treatment until next win
ter's stormy days, but should pru-
IDENTIFY mend their roof while the
sun shines" Now is the time. and
the opportunity is just what is de-
sired for the worst cases. DO not let
it 90 by, but place yourself under
treatment of the Scott Medical lnsti-
tute, and have done for you in the
next month or two what might not
be possible to do until next summer.
HAVE YOU CATARRH OF THE STOMACH?
If so, you are an easy victim for
Asiatic cholera. Attend to it now!

A Manayunl, man who has IL pet cat
bought one Of those new tangled monse
TOYS from venter on Market street on
Saturday afternoon. When he arrived
at his house in the evening, he brought
out the mouse and began to run it up
and down the dining room floor. Tabby,
who was lying on rug, suddenly gave
a jump for the supposed rodent. This
scared the head of the house SO much
that he jumped back and in doing SO up
set the supper table, breaking nearly all
the dishes and mixing up the evening
meal into boarding house hash. The
family dog secured the choicest beef

Of the trip which. in many respects. con-

leave him. keely said he wished to
leave some of the provisions with the old
man but young Carlin. who had pur,

nit it. saying that he had not enough
provisions for themselves. Colgate had
some. fishing tackle and after the rest Of
the party had started ahead Keely went
back to him and gave him his revolver

The Important subject OF physical cul-
tnre is not considered as it ought to lie
by the majority of men and women, and
there is almost absolute ignorance of the
makeup Of the body on the part Of even
intelligent people, with little desire for
such knowledge, although health, beauty
md success depend largely on the treat
ment given to the body. Mental ac-
quirements are blindly worshiped, while
the essential question Of health receives
little thought, and hence it is almost i'm
possible to find men in the ordinary
walks of active life. at middle age. who
do not complain Of impaired health and
want of vital force.
Without a sound body one cannot
have q sound mind, and unless proper at
tention is given to the culture of the
body good health cannot be expected.
Plato is said to have called a certain man
lame because he exercised the mind
while the body was allowed to suffer.
This is done to an alarming extent now
adays. Brain workers. as a rule, exer-
else no part of the body except the head,
and consequently suffer from indiges-
ton, palpitation Of the heart, insomnia
and other ills. which if neglected gener-
ally prove fatal. Brilliant and success
full men are constantly obliged to give
up work through the growing malady OF
nervous prostration. The number of
those who succumb to it has increased
to an alarming extent of late years and
that of suicides hardly less. Few will
question that this is owing to overwork-
ing the brain and the neglect Of body
culture.
Vitality becomes impaired and strength
consumed by mental demands, which are
nowadays raised to Il perilous height,
and it is only by careful attention to
physical Development and by jndicious
bodily exercise that the brainworker can
counteract the mental strain. Women
rarely consider the importance of phys
ical culture, yet they need physical train
ing almost more than men do. Thou
sands Ut our young women are unfit to
become wives or mothers, who might be
strong and beautiful if they gave short
time daily to physical Development

frightened. They were the continual
cause Of delay. Contrary to the general
supposition the party did not encounter
any snow until two days before found by
Lieut. Elliott. Keely thinks the escape
of all could have been made on rafts had
not the New Workers been afraid Of get
ting drowned.
Keely's whole story is very derogatory
to young Car'n, Himmelwright and
Piercs. He is suing Gen. Carlin for the
reward. There seems to have been no
sufficient reason why Lieut.. Elliott
