WOOSTER, O., Aug. 1O.-Late Sunday
afternoon messenger reached this
city from the remote northeast corner
of the county and reported that a
crowd of 200 farmers were guarding

water, held at bay by men armed with
rifles. Sheriff CARRIER and posse start

really a dangerous task for two men to
undertake to patrol them. The frequency
with which our Officers are assaulted and
severely handled shows the need of the
precinct in this direction.
SPECIAL DETAILS NEEDED.
"1ilong the river front we should have
men detailed for special duty at the big
steamboat wharves and at the fish and
oyster wharves to properly protect the
property and preserve the peace. and also
to comply with a provision OF the act
under which the police force was organized
This provision requires the Commits
sioners or heads of the police department
to keep such men at all times at steam
boat landings and railroad stations.
with the present force, though, this is
of course, impossible.
Mai. Moore has not asked for a single
man too many, and no effort should be
spared to get Congress to legislate favor
ably on his demand. The Times has under
taken a commendable work, in showing up
the needs OF the force, and it will result
in great benefit to the city. 1 hope before

cinct, divided into two platoons of eighteen
men each. This allows two men on each
beat when full platoon is on duty, and one
for each beat in the da ytime, when the pre-
cinct is patrolled by a single section.
just now the precinct has its full quota
OF men, and every beat is doubled at night.
Even with two men on beat, however,
it is an absolute impossibility for them To
properly patrol from thirty to fifty, and
sometimes more, squares Of territory. The
precinct should have at least four more
beats in it, but until they are provided
with more men this will be impossible.
SERGEANT DALEY TALKS.
The needs of the precinct in the way of
more men and more beats and the made
quacy of the present force were discussed
last night by sergt. Daley, one of the most
energetic officers in South Washington.
If the general force OF the city is In
creased 100 men," said he, 1--WE should
be allowed at least twelve additional men
for this precinct. While we have every beat
doubled with our present force, the size Of
some OF them makes it impossible for two
men to properly patrol them, and a dozen
more would enable US to divide up three,
four, eight and nine beats, and make six
or perhaps seven beats out of them.
These big beats, too, are in the very
toughest sections, not only of South WASH

the advent OF Sergt. Daley into the pre-
cinct, the majority OF such places have
been Wiped out, and it is now comparatively
respectable. There is still room for i'm

the beat have their hands full and their
time pretty well taken up.
No. beat, bounded by Virginia avenue
and street, South Capitol and Four-and-a-
half streets, is one of the smallest beats
in the precinct, containing only twelve
squares. Its claim TO distinctive toughness
lies chiefly in the IA ct that within its narrow
confines fifteen well-patronized saloons
flourish. This makes n great deal Of rum
and gin per capita, and as result, little
differences Of opinion requiring police in
references are of frequent occurrence. On
the whole, however it is well behaved, COM
pared with many others.
Stretching south from Virginia avenue
to Buzzard Point, a distance Of about
twenty squares, between South Capitol
and Four-and-a-half streets, lies Blood

city as the scene of the fiercest fights, the
foulest murders and the darkest crimes in
the city's history.

and asked to see Mrs. Doonan She at
first refused to come down, but finally did
so, when Mr.. Feigiey declared at once that
she was not Miss Stuart. Mr., and Mrs

"Sour Stomach is the common name
for acid dyspepsia, and because IL Is a COM
mon, everyday trouble with many people
they have come Ia look upon 1t as of little
consequence as affecting the general health.
Nevertheless the most serious diseases have
their beginning from this very condition. 1t
is caused in the first place from wea kness
of the stomach, which, instead OF promptly
digesting and disposing of the food, allows
il to lie in the stomach for hours, ferment-
ing, causing gas, sour rising in the mouth,
heartburn. headaches, oppression, despond-
ency, dullness, etc.
The blood is thin, impure and circula.
ton poor simply because 1T is replenished
from this mass of fermenting half-digested
food. This condition of the stomach cannot
continue very long without deranging the
lungs. Whichever is weakest will break
down first.

purifiers and nerve tonics" do not reach
the cause OF the mischief. The stomach is
the point to be looked after. The safest
and surest way to cure any form of in.

ton OF this kind composed Of vegetable
