THE SPEAKEASY PROBLE EN-
Police Magistrate Millar Believes It
Can Be Solved by Making Them
Disorderly Houses.

Police Magistrate w. S. Millar be-
licves that the solution of the speak,
easy problem in this city lies in the
passage by councils of an ordinance
making places where Intoxicating
liquars are sold withour,a Il license dis
orderly houses and rendering the fre-
quenters of these resorts liable to ar
rest.
'.lf this We're DONE said he yester-
day, land l believe ii can be done un-
der the act of 1867. I think it would
have the effect of wip1ng the sreater
portion OF these places out of exist
ence and thus remove unlawful COM
petition from the dealers who pay
$1,100 a year for the privilege of SELL
ing intoXicants.
at would be possible after a war
rant was secured to call the patrol
wagon into service drive it up in front
of these places and load into it every
person found inside, proprietor. bar
tender, patrons and all. If n number
of raids of this character We're made
and If the patrons We're all fined heaV-
lily the backbone OF the speakeaSy in
uuStry would, III my opinion, be
broken. People would keep away from
them f0r fear of arrest and their pro-
prietorS would give up the business be-
cause OF lack of trade if not for fear
of the law"
In Pittsburs the general police ordi-
nance provides that places where in
toNiCating liquors are sold without Ii
c'nse, shall be deemed and held to be
disol derby houses Power is given the
committing magistrate to fine all per-
sons found in the place not less than
81 or more than 500 for each oifense
ana in default Of payment of the fine it
further provides they shall be imprs-
oned in the county jail for period
not exceeding sixty days.

A Popular Remedy for Dyspepsia

able Cures.
The spring of the year is the time FOR
we think we must dose ourselves with
sarsaparilla, bitters and the endless
list of so-called blood purifiers and
nerve tonics.
AS u matter of fact, there is but one
possible way in which to purify the
blood, and that is, through the stom.
ach and bowels.
Pure blood results from wholesome
food thoroughly diges l. Impure
blood from poor digestion and assmil-
alton. When the stomach refuses to
work properly the food remains too
long a time, fermcnting. forming gases,
shown by sour, bitter taste in the
mouth, bloating and belching Of gas.
and distress and discomfort generally.
Poor blood, weak nerves. sleeplessness
and q general don't care feeling can
always be traced TO imperfect diges-
ton.
This is the reason why Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets are superior to all other
spring medicines and blood purifiers
They give perfect digestion, the food
does not lie in the stomach for hours
They give a vigorous appetite, sound
sleep, strong nerves. and wholesome
food we'll digested makes pure blood,
and in no other way can the blood be
purified. The idea that a medicine, in
itself, will purify the blood when tho
stomach and digestive organs are out
of order is nonsense. Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets are used by thousands in
preference to "bitters," "after dinner
pills and "blood purifiers because
they remove the cause of the impure
blood, and you do not have to take
them forever to get results. Dyspepsia
is an obstinate disease to cure and a
remedy must be designed especially for
it and nothing else Cure-alls will not
cure dyspepsia.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not
claimed to cure every thing or any
thing except Dyspepsia and stomach
trouble. and for that it stands alone
among patent medicines. Anyone suf
fering from any trouble with their di-
gestion will find these tablets will give
immediate relief and permanent cure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pre-
pared by the r. A. Stuart Co., of Mar
shall. Mich, and sold by druggists
everywhere at 80 cents per package. No
dieting nor change Of habits is re-
quired, they digest the food.

USING JACK FROST.
Turning to Account the Expansion of
Freezing Water.

Freezing Water.
1t is related that when the great
Egyptian obelisk, which stands before
St. Peters in Rome, was set up, the
tackle got the big stone into nearly
the proper position and then was in
capable Of completing its work. The
engineers who were directing the op-
Grafton were paraIyzed with dismay.
but suddenly a sailor in the crowd
shouted, Wet the ropesi7 This adj
vice was acted upon, the ropes shrank
in consequence, and the obelisk was
raised into place. A somewhat SINH
lar, though much less thrilling story
is related by a steamship engineer in

from the Argentine Republic for Ant
werp had called at Dunkirlz, France.
in the wintering season, to leave some
freight, and on starting to sea again
struck her propeller against a stone
wall and broke of one blade close to
the boss or central knob and lost part
OF another blade. On reaching Ant
werp the vessel was put into dry dock,
so as to substitute a new propeller for
the broken one All four blades were
cast with the boss. and, therefore. it
was necessary to remove the whole
thing from the shaft before the new
propeller could be put on But the
boss stuck to the shaft so snugly that
| il could not be started. After two
days delay the first assistant engineer,
who was Yankee, adopted the follow
ing plan: He undertook to split the
boss in two. First, he made his men
chisel out a gutter on the under side,
reaching fore and aft. so as to favor
cracking along that line. Then he
had them make a similar one on top.
In the meantime a hole was drilled in
from the outside to the center. The
boss was not solid all the way down.
but was hollow, and fitted the shaft
only at front and rear. The chamber
thus left was now filed with water,
and the hole closed by a screw plug
Ropes were attached to the right and
left hand sides of the propeller to hold
them in case they should fall, and the
job was left for the night Next morn
ing the halves were separate, the boss
having split along the two lines cut
in its outer surface. The expansion OF
the confined water, freezing, did the
business; and the assistant engineer
got a good deal OF glory.
