Get the cover of a small cigar box or any
other thin board about inches long and
cut it out the shape of the engraving.
Then arrange the strings and balls as
shown in the same, with knots in the

The trick is to get the large ball off the
string without untying it or removing any
of the smaller balls. This good old puzzle
will entertain those Of the boys who have
not yet learned the trick of it.

Governor Bushnell is Determined to
Take No Chances.

New York. Jan. zO-Gov Bushnell of
Ohio is still in New York and today
reiterated his declaration that he had
not decided to appoint Mark Hanna to
fill the uneXpired term of Senator Sher-
man when the latter shall resign to

the statements made in an interview
with Murat Halstead at Cleveland in
which Mr.. Halstead quotes Mr. Bush
nell as saying he would appoint Mr.
Hanna for the short term and then let
him fight for reelection one year later.
The governor was astOnished when he
read Mr.. HalStead'S interview
The governor stated that he met Mr.
HaIstead last Sunday morning ia New
York when Mr.. Halstead said to him in
a frank way:
If 1 were you. would appoint Han

piled to the effect that he had rot de-
cided and would not decide what he
would do until Senator Sherman re-
signed Governor Bushnell also refer
red to recent statements that he would
not call an extra session of the Ohio
legislature to fill Mr.. Sherman's pos

governor said the expense would be
Comparatively slight as members of the

would very likely be called In con-
clusion. he said:

small cuts on the side of his neck
Chief Gardiner. Sergeant Ellison and
Detective Zeller We're summoned to the
hotel and had a struggle with the
crazed man. When they entered the
bedroom where Berry was, DIR. Frank
Martin was dressing the cash in his
neck The man sat on the bed staring
intently q the wall He held in his
hand the razor which he had used to
cash himself and refused TO give it up.
Ellison approached Berry. Chief Gar
diner stepped around behind him and
Zeller drew near him He was told
that he must hand over the razor, but
ne refused and slashed it thraateningly
around him The officers made grab
for him and he resisted. He is a pow
crful man and il took the united
strength. of the men to hold HIM Ser
geant Ellison was holding the left
hand, in which the razor was held.
while Chief Gardiner put his knee on
Berry's side and held the right arm.
Suddenly Berry made a quick move
ment and Ellison's hold slipped The
razor fed about. and il was only by

was let up.
Berry was taken to the police station,
where his wounds were dressed They
are not very dangerous He was locked
up on the charge of assault. He had

FOR AN AUDITORIUM.
The Old Streetcar Barns Figured on,
but Walls are Dangerous.

There has been some talk of leasing
or buying the old street car barns on
Tenth street and turning them into an
auditorium
The building is the largest one in the
city. being $50 feet square. The propo-
sition was to build a high roof and per-
haps raise the walls few feet so thar
a gallery might be put in. With htese
improvements it was figured that the
building would accommodate 5000 peo-
pie. seated
The need for an auditorium is impera-
tive and the old street car barns were
graSped at as a possible straw that
might lead to solution of the problem
But President c. c. Baker of the City
Railway company and Superintendent
Patten. both say that the scheme is not
feasible. The building has passed
through fire and the walls are crutnb-
ling and would not hold a heavy weight
and il is doubtful if they would stand
a all. At any rate the building would
have to be torn down.
President Baker said: while I would
be in sympathy with some movement of
this kind and would be willing TO do all
I can the building could not De used for
that purpose Some of the material
might be used but the walls are inse-
cure on account of the fire that occur
red there.

of some of the expenses accruiney because
OF these Investigations. However. a large
amount OF Indebtedness is outstanding in
fees. only those that refused TO testify as
witnesses having bAen paid to secure their
presence So far as possible the govern
or ; contingent fund aided in dischaFging
the obligations. but particular attention
was paid to Republicans. Now. to secure
their fees the Populists must go to the
legislature and the Republicans believe
that they Will be needed 10 secure the
passage of the bill and have hopes of se>
curing sufficient power because of that
fact 10 compel the payment of Republi-
cans who have not yet received all that is
claimed
Some of the Populists are very bitter
against the bill and propose to fight it to

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Staart's Dyapep-
sia Tablets.
a New Discovery, Bat Not a Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the
new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's
He says: The patient was man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate
seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fuIlness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected. caus-
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night
1 gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but 10 no purpose. As
an experiment 1 finally bought a fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour,
watery risings, no bloating after meals.
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and Il pounds in
weight of solid. healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores,
yet I consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians line of rem
edies. as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or inVa-
lids or in any condition Of the stomach
with perfect safety, being harmless and
containing nothing but vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden
Seal.
without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton, biliOusness. constipation ard all
arrangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe
StuaFt's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co of Marshall. Mich,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.
