TO lose THEIR STARS.
The Chinese Consul May Dis
charge His Mongolian
Police.
They Would Not Assist in Finding
the Assailants of Priest
Chow Kung.

The eight Chinese police men," who
have served the Chinese Consul for some
time past, are likely to lose their heads, so
to speak. They are accused of conduct "un-
becoming officers" and unless some.
thing unforeseen happens they will be de-
prived OF their stars" in the next few
days.
The rather sudden determination TO do
away with the men dates back to the
night OF the 18th inst, when Chow Kung,
Chinese prest, was attacked by two
hig binders, and, after being stabbed
thirteen times, was robbed of consdera-
bic money and jewelry.
Detectives Gibson and Wren were de-
tailed to arrest the assaiants and after
considerable trouble they apprehended
TWO well-kncwn high binders and charged
them with the crime.
When taken before their supposed VIC
tim the latter would not identity them,
claiming that he was unable to say
whether or not they were the right men,
Notwitb standing the refusal 10 identity
them the detective found sufficient evil
dence against the m to warrant their being
locked up, and they were taken to the
City Prison and their names registered in
the "smul" book.
After being informed of the assault the
Chinese Consul summoned his "police-
men" and ordered them to investigate
the case with a view of ascerteining g
whether or not The Imprisoned Chine e
were the as atlantis OF the wounded priest.
For some reason which is not clear 10
the Consul the policemen" instead of
endeavoring to find out if the prisoners
are the right men, threatened the priest
with violence If ne interfered with them.
Inc unfortunate prizes, 1t is claimed, fear
ing that they would kill him, agreed not
10 prosecute his assailants providing that
they promised not to molest him.
In some way the Consul learned that
his policemen" had sealed The lips of the
wounded priest. and he summoned the
men before him. After considerabI Bile
questioning The men admitted that they
had no respect for the priest and an
nounced that they would not lend their
his assailants. The Consul, it Is said
seriously upbraided them for their con-
duct, and threatened to break" them if
they persisted in shielding the suspects.
Since then they have refused 10 assist
the detectives in obtaining evidence
against the imprisoned Chinese. and
openly announced that they would do all
in their power to protect them.
The Consul is up in arms against them,
and it is expected that he will revoke their
commissions" in the next lew days.
Heretofore the Monaghan policemen
have been of great assistance TO the Con-
sui as well as the regular police force in
ferretinS out crime committed IN the
Chinese quarter. Why they refused to
ct in the ca OF the wounded priest
Sc ems strange except that they regard
him as an "outcast," as one of their mum.

DESTILLERY WAREHOUSE BURNED.
Six thousand Barrels of Spirits
Stored in the Building Consumed
BY the Flames.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23-A fire that did
fully $10O 900 damage broke out shortly
before o clock this evening in the ware
house of the Ravenswood Distillery Com
pany in North st. Louis.
Two employees were on the fourth floor
OF the seyen-story warehouse rolling a
barrel OF alcohol from an upper tier, when
the bung flew out and stream of alcohol
covered a lantern. In an instant flames
sprang up, seriously burning c. J. Murphy
about the face. A general fire alarm was
turned in, but the work of the firemen was
useless as the 6000 barrels of alcohol,
bourbon, rye and spirits stored in the
building fed the flames, and within thirty
minutes the entire warehouse was a roar
ing furnace from cellar to roof. The dis
tillery adjoining was saved. AT z o'clock
the fire was under control. The distillery
has not been in operation for some time,
owing to a full stock on hand, and the
business consisted in shipping orders.

NEW TO-DAY.
SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
pepsia and Indigestion.

Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
pepsia aud indigestion.
DR.. Jennison, who has made life study
of stomach troubles, says: All forms of
Indigestion really amount to the same
thing. that is, failure to completely digest
the food eaten; no matter whether the trou-
bic is acid, dyspepsia or sour stomach,
belcning of wind, nervous dyspepsia or
loss of flesh and appetite; a person will
not have any of them If the stomach can
be induced by any natural, harmless way
to thoroughly digest what is eaten, and
this can be done by simple remedy which
l have tested in hundreds of aggravated
cases with complete success. The remedy
is a com bination of fruit and vegeta bic
essences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden
seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting
tablets, and sold by druggists under the
name of S uart's Dypepsia Tablets. One
or two of these tablets should be taken
after meals. and allowed to disso'ue in the
mouth, and mingling with the food in the
stomach digests it completely before it
has time to ferment decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs and similar
wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say il this wholesome
remedy was better known by people
generally 1T would be national blessing.
as we are a nation of dyspeptics, and
nine-tenths of all diseases owe their
origin 10 imperfect digestion and nutri-
ton.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
secret patent medicine. But a 5O-cent
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach than $50 worth of patent
medicines, and person has the satisfac.
ton of knowing just what he is putting
into his stomach whicn he does not
know when widely advertised patent
medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's DYSPEPSIA
Tablets; ul-sized packages so cents
