A PECULIAR REMEDY
o nething About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.


The Rev. r. I. Bell, a highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport. Cayuga
Co. N Y, in a recent letter writes as
follows: There has never been any
thing that I have taken that has re-
Heved the dyspepsia from which L have
suffered for ten years except the new
remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. Since taking them I have had no
distress at all after eating and again
after long years can sleep well. Rev
F. L Bell, Weedsport, N. Y, formerly
Idaia, Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markabIe remedy, not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because it seems to act as
thoroughly in other chronic cases of dys-
pepsia as well as in mild attacks of in
digestion or biliOuSneSS. A person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach
is OverwOrked, all it wants is a harm
less, vegetable remedy to digest the
food and thus give it the much needed
rest.
This is the secret of the success of
this particular remedy No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestion may be- Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach but to every organ and nerve
in the body. A trial of this splendid
medicine will convince the most skepti-
cal that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. So popular has
the remedy become that StuartS DyS-
pepSia Tablets can now be obtained at
any drug store at so cents per package.

Some Palatial Stables Owned
by Wealthy Men.
AMERICANS VIE WITH ROYALTY.

The Duke OF Westminster Has the Finest
Stables In the World-HOmes Of Some
Turf Favorites-Astors vandexBnt and
Bonner Stables.
Pa1atial is a much overworlzed word,
and you might think it rank exaggera-
ton to apply the adjective to anything
SO ordinary as a stable. Yet there are
stables. not only in Europe, but in this
country, which are truly palatial
We have some rich men in America
who are very fond of horses and who
have generally INDUCED their little
fancies without regard to expense, but
it is an Englishman who has the repu-
tation of housing his horses in finer
style than any other individual in the
world. He is the Duke of Westminster,
who owns good slice Of London and
whose income from his tenants alone is
larger than that of Queen Victoria.
The ducal stables are part of the es-
tate known as Eaton Hall This is the
duke s country home, and it comprises
a great tract Of land near the pretty lit
tie city of Chester on the River Dee. OF
course, it is we'll known that the duke
has for years owned one of the most
famous racing studs in England, but no
other owner of race horses ever quar-
tered his animals in such sumptuous
style as he. At only a short distance
from his So, 600, 600 palace are the sta
BILE buildings There is one big structure,
and ranged around in this in the form
of a quadrangle are a number of small
er ones. In the center of the square thus
formed is a big bronze statue of a rear
ing horse held by a groom. The chief
feature about the main stable is its size.
The first floor is big enough to drill
regiment of cavalry in. Instead of the
rows of stalls which you might expect
to see there are wide corridors from
which open rooms. These rooms are the
quarters of the aristocratic favorites of
the turf. They are equine boudoirs, but
in point of luxury they do not compare,
luxurious as they are, to the separate
houses in which such kings of the turf
as Ormonde and Ben Dor have lived
If the other horses have private apart
ments, the Derby winners have private
residences.

Several New York cross streets up

no means ordinary stables.
The Vanderbilt stables, which were
established by William H, who was
passionately fond of horses, were at one
time the finest in the city. They occu-
pied four city lots, and two Of them
were corner lots at that. The stalls were
of polished oak with mahogany trim
mings and ornamented with cabinet
work. Handsome rugs and easy chairs
gave the place the air of a drawing
room rather than of stable. On every
thing, from the grillwork over the en-
trance to the brass bound wooden pals,
was to be seen the Vanderbilt mono

KNIFE CURES INSANE.
Trepanning in County HospitalEfects
Complete Recovery of Two Patients

Trepanning in County HospitalEfects
Complete Recovery of Two Patients
Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Trepanning in the
county hospital has accomplished the
cure of two insanity patients, so the
members of the surgical staff believe.
The patients have been discharged.
They are James Leahy and Mrs. Mile
Mcdonald.
Leahy is the man who was shot in
the head by a South Chicago police
man. Thebullet plOwed into his skull
Immediately above the temple, making
a long. ugly wound in the scalp and
breaking the bones of the head. When
he was taken to the hospital he was
possessed of the insane idea that every
one he knew desired to kill him, and
consequently he persisted in attempt
ing to fight every one who came near
his cot. A nurse could not approach
him without making him frightfully
nervous.
Dr. Fortner conceived the idea that
the trouble was caused by bone press
ing upon his brain. The process OF ire
panning was tried, the scalp was ele-
waited about two inches, and the bone
of the skull was raised from the dis
eased part.
In Leahy's case as soon as the bone
was raised the man became rational,
and the insane thought which had been
troubling him disappeared. His wife
visited him at the hospital, noticed his
improved condition, and at once order
ed that he be removed to his home
The case of Mrs. Mcdonald is more
interesting. The patient is the wife of
a prosperous San Francisco theatrical
manager, who is the proprietor of the
Adelphi House in the city of the Gold
en- Gate. Several months ago she was
struck upon the head with a cham
payne bottle. The blow compressed a
part of her skull which induced suici-
dal mania.
In this case the skull was treated as
in that of Leahy. This time, however,
the operation was performed on the
very top of the head. After the opera
ton Mrs Mcdonald at once regained
her normal temperament, and within a

St Louis Brewery to Deliver Beer
From a Gasoline Engine Wagon.

St Louis, Oct. 1S.-Anton Steuver,
president of the Home Brew wing COM
pany, says that in a few days the big
brewery wagons will be propelled by d
gasoline engine instead OF horses.
Herbert Mulherran, a young man of
this city, is the inventor of an engine
which weighs only 300 pounds, and
which will run ten hours on five gallons
of gasoline, which can be bought for )
cents per gallon. No engineer is required
and it is self Oiling.
The gearing can be reversed and the
wagon suddenly stopped or instantly
backed without stopping the engine.
The 3OO-pOund machine will furnish five
and one-half horse power. 1t will be
great saving to concerns using a
number of horses.

This indicates a rate something over s.
