w. c. Stewart, manager OF the Ma
tional Enameling Company, stated yes
terday that the company would either
have to close the plant in this city or
lay off six furnaces in another large
plant, and that they thought it better
to have the one plant in full operation,
which could be operated at less eX-
pense, and owing to this fact would
close down the plant in this city. MI.
Stewart also stated that he would try
to lease this plant and operate 1t IN
dependenfly. 1t is hoped that Nj.
Stewart will succeed and that this
industry will not be closed down. MIR.
Stewart has had much experience In
the manufacture of enameled ware.
and no doubt would make a success
with an independent factory.

CONTRACTION AMI INFECTION.
La Grippe II Infectieus but Not Con,
tagiOus.

- 6r1ppc II Infectious but Not Coz
tagiOus.
Contagious diseases are COM
municated from one person to an
other; infectious diseases are con-
veyed through the air.
Smallpox is q contagious disease;
La Grippe Is infectious. When an
epidemic of the grip is prevailing
1t Is in the air we breathe and no
one is safe.
The only safeguard is to keep the
system in the highest possible con-
dition of health and one the first
appearance of a cold in the head
to use some safe antiseptic like
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets freely, a
tablet taken every hour or two for
a couple of days will be sufficient
to break up the attack.
La Grippe attacks the weakest
part of the system, it may be the
lungs, heart, liver, stomach or kid
neyS but wherever 1t finally locates
it almost invariably starts with
cold in the head and throat or in
other words, the disease at the be-
ginning is acute catarrh.
This is the reason Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets have been so success
full in breaking up attacks of grip.
The a~ntiseptic properties of the
remedy destroy the germs before
the whole system is thoroughly in
fected.
DIR. Admission says: Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets being free from CO.
caine and harmful drugs should be
freely used at this time of year on
the first appearance of grip symp-
toms.
They check the excessive catarr-
hal secretions, stop the fever and
prevent pneumonia.
They are composed of antisep-
tics and may be used by little
children as freely as by adults and
with great benefit.
DR.. Lewiston says: My usual
prescription for the grip is Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets which al be
found at all drug stores. Keep
to the house for a day or two and
use the tablets freely, and | have
never heard any complaint of fail
ure to cure.

Jefries Coming.

There is no man in America from
its chief magistrate to the humblest
whose personality is of greater inter-
est than James ]. Jeffries, the cham
plon of champions, who is to make his
appearance in this city at the Opera
House Tuesday night. His play, "A
Man From the West" is a melodrama
of life in Montana in which horses,
cowboys and characters in that vicin-
ity play important parts. 1t is said TO
be most thrilling; one of the exciting
scenes is a fight for life in a balloon
in mid-air. J~effries, of course. is the
hero of all situations. The company
associated vita him in the presenta-
ton of the piece is q very good one, as
it cnlists the services of well known
artists.

The Chinese Developed the Art Cent

Feng Tao "a. d. SS1-954) is best
known to the Chinese as aVersatile poll
1tician who served, first and last, un-
der no less than ten emperors of four
different houses, and gave himself a
sobriquet which finds its best English
equivalent in the Vicar of Bray"
In his history of 'Chinese Litera-
ture," published by the Appletons. DIR.
Giles tells how Tao presented himself
at the court of the second emperor of
the Lao dynasty, and positively asked
for a post. He a he had no home,
no money, and very little brains; a
statement which appears to ave APP
pealed forcibly to the Tartar monarch,
who at once appointed him grand tu-
tor to the heir apparent.
By foreigners. on the other hand. ne
will be chiefly remembered as the in
ventor of the art of block printing. 1t
seems probable, indeed, that some
crude form of this invention had al
ready been known in the Tang dy-
nasty; but until the date of the Feng
Tao, it was certainly not applied to the
production of books. Six years after
his death the ''fire-led" house of Sung
was finally established on the throne,
and thenceforward the printing of
books from blocks became a familiar
handicraft with the Chinese people.

INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years of ToiIsOme Ministry Among
Tho 81, nnt UxS

Years of ToilsOme Ministry Among
the ChOctaVvs.
Little York, Ind, April 1.-(Special).-
Twenty-Five years ago the Rev. c. II.
Thompson left Indiana. For a time he
preached in Arkansas, afterwards en-
ter;ng on the regular missionary work
among the Choctaw Indians.
For five years he lived and labored
lmong the full bloods of the Western
prairies, until, on April 9Th, 1885, hav-
'ng lost his wife, he left the circuit on
which he a preached so long. and
commenced travelling missionary work
among the Indians Of the various tribes
scattered in the West.
This irregular work involved a great
deal Of travel over the prairies. The
drinking of so much alkali water
brought on kidney troubles which ter
minated in Diabetes.
Finally. while laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian Ter
ritory, this noble man was stricken
down completely. A Chicago special
ist was summoned, and after a careful
examination declared that there was
not the slightest chance of his recov-
cry. Besides the prescriptions of the
doctors, he tried many other medicines,
out all to no avail. He says:
"I had concluded that my days were
drawing to a close, when 1 picked up
an almanac telling of the cures of Dia-
oetes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I sent for two boxes. / gained strength
and spirits from the time I commenced
to use them, and so 1 sent for more. L
am now completely cured, and have not
the slightest symptom of my old trou-
BILE.
IT am 6S years of age. l tell every
body of the wonders Dodd's Kidney
Pills have lone for me. I can certainly
endorse them heartily, and vouch that
they are all that is claimed for them.
They have certainly been a God-send
to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only rem
edy that has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy, and they
never fail.
