THE OWEN ELECTRIC BELT AND APPLIANCE Co.:
Gentlemen-Solely in the interest of others
who are, or may become similarly affected with
myself, venture to offer my experience with
the use of the owen Electric Belt, and that
am actuated entirely by that motive, must be
apparent from the fact that until you see my
name and address recorded on this letter you
had no knowledge of either. had long been a
sufferer from chronic dyspepsia and nervous
prostration, contracted or aggravated by many
years residence in the East Indies. About three
years ago purchased one of your Belts in the
hope that its use might afford me some relief,
and wore 1t continuously as directed for about
four hours every afternoon for month or so,
and the result wac perfectly marvellous. My
indigestion with all its attendant miseries, ner-
vousness, depression, irritability and insomnia,
from which latter was a great sufferer, have
disappeared. then discontinued the use the
| Belt (the existence OF which had indeed for.
gotten), until about six weeks ago, when a
recurrence Of my old trouble very forcibly
reminded me of it. I again put it into wear

years., and with the same extraordinary results,
being again restored to health, strength and
vigor, after wearing it for only ten days. Under

THE JAIL FINISHED.
The Cages Closely Examined and
Withstand Most Severe Test

Whether acting upon the suggestion
of the FREE PRESS of Tuesday or
not, we do not know, but the county
commissioners this morning had a
thorough test made of the cages at
the Jail, and the work thereon and
the material used was found to be
most satisfactory. The test made
was most severe one, but the cages
were not phased in the least. The
fact was developed that Blhe Earth
county has one of the best jails in the
northwest and Mayer Bros. deserve
great credit for the fine job they
have given the county and the ex-
cellent material they have used in
making the cages, which are, as a
matter of course, the most important
part of the JAIL The county board
is highly pleased with the job, and
accepted the same from the con
tractors this afternoon. The tax
payers are to be congratulated on
having secured so fine jail for the
money, and can rest assured that
when lawbreaker is once lodged be-
hind the bars, he will stay there I'M
til the proper authorities let him
loose, or remove him elsewhere.
w. E. Lee tried to bore into the
steel bars, but failed to get further
than the soft outside coating. Archi-
tect Gerlach used the hardest steel
saws known and broke two of them
trying to saw off some of the bars, but
could make no impression on the in
ner chrome steel. Numerous places
were tested and found to be all right.
The bars are of several ply, alternat-
ing with the soft metal and the hard
and brittle chrome steel.
The board voted to award the con-
tract for the construction of stone
piers for the county bridge to be built
in the township of Butternut Valley
to Thos. Dunlevey.
| The board may not adjourn this
afteroon as there are some points re-
garding the payments on the jail
| which are not yet settled.

The Northwest Breaks the Record.

CHICAGO, June 5.-The steamer
Northwest of the Great Northern
Steamship company, which arrived
here from Milwaukee, broke the record
for fast time between the two cities.
She left Milwaukee at $40 and $3.50
was off the mouth of the Chicago
river. The best time before was made
by the whaleback Christopher Colum-
bus, which made the 80 miles between
Milwaukee and Chicago in hours and
90 minutes. The Northwest beat this
by 10 minutes and fought a strong head
wind for the entire distance.

resorted to in the history of Vienna Dr. Lueger

and Designer
Constructed Commercial Structures in
the Southern Part of the State

The latest addition to the list of fine
commercial structures which have come
into being along Broadway during the
present year is the J. 5. Slauson block.
The building is fully the equal OF its pre-
tentious neighbors. alike IN magnitude
and architectural adornment The main
fscaoe upon Broadway is OF carved Ari-
IONA sandstone and iron, while the build
ing throughout is built of the most SUBJ
stantial materials and SD appointed as to
meet the highest requirements of its use.
All INTERN sdiats walls are of non-co u
bustible material as high as the second
story level and above that OF substantial
obstruction. The NAN facade presents
some features of unusual beauty and
artistic merit. For the first sto ry the
material usei, plate glass. forbids any
considerable display, but above this line
the structural features are striking. A
broad carved stone entabliture runs along
the second story level which forms the
base of the superstsucture. Above this

OF pure Corinthan order, which rise to
the height of the superior treize, thrue
stories above. These piiasters are made
a very attractive feature by reason of the
ella borate capitals which they bear and by
the further fact that they are made to
terminate in the broad belt which defines
the lower extremity of the cornice. Above
the cornice is of elatoratsIy carved stone
and OF sufficient heft to emphasize the
