Sheriff Gould Levied on the Property of
Proprietor james L. Willis Yesterday
Afternoon.
James L. Willis, proprietor of the
Hotel Willis, is financially embarrassed,
and Sheriff Gould made levy on the
place late yesterday afternoon. Eugene
f. Frame and John Frye were appointed
appraisers. The trouble has occasioned
some surprise as few persons knew that
Mr.. Williss financial affairs were so
desperate
The Judgment creditors are James
Megary, $1,100; Edmund Mitchell, Jr,
81, 600; George w. Gray, 81 200; William
Lawton, $500, and Joseph Stoeckle,
81, 440 They were all entered yesterday
afternoon
Mr.. Willis took the hotel several years
ago and proceeded to mske it first-class
place, spending thousands Of dollars to
accomplish it, The business depression,
his friends say, caused a big falling of
in his receipts and prevented him from
meeting his obligations.
Nearly all the judgments we're fol
borrowed money, excepting, possibly
that of Mr.. Stoeckle.
The action of yesterday was necessi-
tsJed by demand of payment made by
Mr. Megary. Mr. Willis could not meet it
The hotel will not be closed and Mr.
Willis is hopeful that he will emerge
from the trouble as soon as business
grows better.

Dangerous Use of Strong Purga-
tives.

Most pills, purgatives and Bittet
Waters, which act quickly upon
the bowels, irritate and often de.
stroy the mucous coats of the
stomach and bowels. Indeed
their cathartic action is directly
caused by the irritation of the
bowels, which they produce. Their
action should be soothing and
stimulating instead of irritating.
A continued use of such remedies
produces chronic Inflammation of
the stomach and bowels. This
often ends in dangerous disease.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly
recommended as an aperient, laxa-
tive and diuretic, because its action
is due solely to its solvent and
stimulating properties. 1t soothes
and allays Inflammation, and is
therefore much preferable to all
other remedies.
