SIX HORSES
 LOST IN FIRE. Twenty Mules Saved by
 Policemen. GOOD WORK OF FIREnEN The Damage to the Buildings Was Slight. Blaze Started in Hay in Stable of Berto Johnson Bottling Works.
 Chief Browder Thinks It
 Was Incendiary.

A fire which was discovered at 330 o'clock yesterday morning. partially de- stroyed a shed at the southwest corner Of Perry and Columbus Streets and caused the loss of six horses. Twenty mules confined under the shed were gotten out by quick work of Patrolmen Mcclellan and Doron before they were injured. Aside from the loss of the horses, the damage by the fire was slight.
 The alarm was sent in from box lS corner Coosa and Tallapoosa Streets. by Patrolman John Berger. Fire Chiei Browder says that when the department reached the place the fire had evidently been burning fifteen minutes. Mounted Patrolmen Mcclellan and Doron reached the scene before the fire department, and, observing that a number of mules were under the she'd directed their efforts to getting the mules out The gate was opened, but the mules stampeded and refused to leave the burning shed until Patrolpan Mcclellan <discharged his pis- tol. This scared one of the mules, who jumped through the gate. The other mules followed, and all of them were saved from the flames.
 The patroImen then turned their atten- ton to two horses which were in stall and fenced off from the mules. Patrol man Doron was trying to release the horses by tearing away plank when the fire reached them. It became so hot that the patrolman had to leave them. He called out to Patrolman Mcclellan, who seeing that the horses were burning. shot one of them to death.
 In the meantime the fire department had reached the shed and soon had a stream of water playing.
 The shed was owned by C. c. Abercrom' bic and was rented to the City Ice De- livery Company. The company kept it's horses, mules and wagons in the shed and all of the wagons were rolled out by Patrolmen Doman and Mcclellan.
 The bottling works owned by Berto H Johnson adjoins the shed, and If was damaged by smoke. When the flames had been subdued. it was discovered that four horses belonging to Mir. Johnson. which were in the stalls of the bottlng works had been suffocated.
 One of the horses which burned fin ths shed belonged to the City Ice Delivery Company. The other animal was owned by Morris Jones. an employe of the com pany.
 It is believed that the total loss by tht fire will reach $1, ,000.
 Fire Chief Browder said yesterday tha in his opinion the shed was set afire There was considerable hay there ant the flames spread rapidly.

Terrible T0rtures and Death Result from Acute and Chronic Rheumatism
 When Neglected
 in Spring. Paine's Celery Compound THE GREAT vANQUIsHER OF ALL FORMS OF RHEUMATISM
The Marvellous Cure of Mrs. Cook, of
 Gardner, Kansas

Rheumatism. terrible in it's acute, and long enduring in it's chronic. form, is one of the eNmost baneful diseases that human beings suffer from. It is disease that will not bear neglect, for if not treated promptly will remain till death to harass, torture, and make life miserable. Rheumatism Is also a constitutional dis order and hereditary. Because of an in- active condition of the kidneys and bow els the blood Is not purified. and an aerid poison is formed and deposited in the muscles and joints. and this causes the inflammation and intense agonies that thousands are obliged to endure. Too of ten the effects of rheumatism are fatal, especially when the dread disease affects the heart; then death is sudden. Many other serious complications result from this terrible disease, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, meningitis. and diaphragmitis, and these often prove rapidly fatal.
 Hacked and tortured reader, what are you doing to get rid of your danger? Physicians candidly admit their inabil- ity to cure. The ordinary medicines of the day may give you relief Tor a few hours or days; they cannot banish the disease from your blood. joints and mus cles; they cannot take the swelhngs from your knees, elbows. or wrists, or make supple the stiffened and twisted limbs. 1Ou CdIl1pl oihOiN ~ death is the sure result of experiment and neglect.
 Today, your only hope lies in the imme- diate use of MT. Phelps wonderful rheu- matism banisher-Paine's Celery Com pound This tested and world-famed van quisher of rheumatism, neuralgia ""' other troubles that arise from impure and poisoned blood, is now fully recognized by the medical profession as a positive and unfailing cure. The \following i'm portant letter sent by Mrs. Cook, is but one of the many thousands received from prominent and well known people In every State of the Union. who have heen cured by Paine's Celery Compound. Mfrs. Cook says:-
 "I was sorely afflicted with rheumatism some time ago. so much so that I was unable to go about the house; 1 had to be carried I tried all kinds Of medicines and liniments to no effect For months l was helpless, unable to turn myself in bed. and suffering with pail, which was almost uncomfortable. Finally. by chance, I noticed an advertisement of Paine's Celery Compound and concluded to try it. After using one bottle it seemed to be helping me, and I continued to use it un- til had no more rheumatic pains. Since then I have been able to do my house. work and have been free from rheuma- tisn.'

DAILY BLOWS. Brought on Appendicitis.

If a person will continue to put little poison in the body each day, for instance like a cup of coffee each morning when coffee acts as poison. and it frequently does, the result will be an attack some day in some of the organs of the body. The little disturbances each day pile up and finally become a big disturbance.
 Many cases of appendicitis have been brought on by coffee drinking. It first affects the nerves of the stomachs and the disorder travels on down through the bowels and results in some kind of bowel trouble frequently appendicitis.
 A lady in Fredonia, N. Y., says, Dur ing my school life, both as a student and teacher I drank coffee regularly. Most of the time knew the coffee was injur- ing me but did not feel like giving 1t up. First my nerves felt the effect and later on constipation developed, and after that, the last year I had a severe attack of appendicitis. My doctor and friends all agreed that these troubles were largely caused by coffee drinking.
 While I was i'll some Postum was sent me by friends. I supposed 1t was coffee -and hesitated at the first cup, but when the difference was explained. and drank as much as I cared for with such good results. I concluded Postum was just what I wanted and have used it ever since. It greatly aids digestion. is nour- ishing and refreshing.
 My food and noursihment while get ting we'll from appendicitis were Postum and Grape-Nuts.
 If I had known of Postum years ago I might have been saved a tremendous amount of suffering brought on by coffee drinking
 Rev. Is one of my converts to Postum. He suffered greatly from dys- t...- nlsr ell he quit coffee and began using Postum.
 Dr. -. who suffered long while from nervous troubles, says Postum brought him out when he quit coffee, and he constantly urges it on his patients who are coffee drinkers.'''

The prime object of the Asso- citation just formed is in general to further the game In every way possible, and in particular to hold championship tournament each year under its auspices, for the championship of the South, and thus accomplish what all other sections of the country have had for several years and what we have had to do without.

With the large number of clubs already members of the Association, the success of the meeting is assured.

Weak Performance.

There was a fine audience out last
evening to see ''Thelma," the dram
atization of Marie Corelli's novel, at
the Illinois theatre, but the perform
ance was a disappointment through
out. The company was weak, both
as to numbers and character The
result was that many ideals that had
been based upon the novel We're
rudely shattered. The 'Thelma"
of Ruth Macauly and the Bruce Err
rington" of William II. Elliott were
amateurishly interpreted. The COM
pany seemed particularly inadequate
as to the leading roles.

Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food. \ lady
in Warren, o., says: ''Some months

The system will build out the body
to it's natural size and weight if the
stomach can digest the food proper

the delicate particles of phosphate
of potash. which is from certain
parts of the field grains and incor-
porated in the food. Its use will
prove the truth of the statement.
