Apparatus to Break Ships.

A continuance for stopping Ocear
vessels while going at normal speed,
has been on view in the Board OF
Trade during this week. It is an in
vention of Mr.. Louis Lacoste. chief
justice Of the court of appeals, who
has patented it. The apparatus, OF
which Mr.. Lacoste exhibited models in
tank, consists of one or more pairs
of doors, attached to each side of a
ship, which can be opened by steam,
electricity or compressed air. The
doors are fitted with hinges and iron
bars, and offer strong resistance to
the water, and stopping the vessel
within a few hundred feet and without
any sudden shock. BY opening only
one door the ship can be brought
around much quicker, than can be
done by her rudder only. The inven-
ton, which has been submitted to the
British admiralty, has been viewed by
a large number of the shipping and
commercial men of Montreal, who
were most favorably impressed by It.
Mr.. Geo. w. Noll. chief engineer
of her majesty's ship Tribune, mas
written to Mr. Louis Lacoste III regard
to the device that, after seeing the
models, he believes it to be practic 2ble
on the lines shown. and to be a great
factor of safety. Mr.. John H. Glass,
engineer of the Allan liner Tunisian,
goes further even than Mr.. Noll, pro-
nouncing the brake absolutely efficient
and calculated to stop a seagoing
steamer geing at full speed within her
own length. Less technical opinion
has been ais f3vorably impressed tn

DECLARED BANKRUPT
John n. Gilmore, of Milan, Makes
Assignment for Benefit
of Creditors.
WILL PAY &c CENTS ON THE DOLLAR
Had Conducted General Store Many
Years-AccOunts for
School Funds.

John IL. Gilmore, the well-known
Milan merchant, has been declared
bankrupt. He filed n petition with
the federal court at Peoria, from
where the case was referred to Adair
Pleasant, the local referee in bank
ruptcy
The liabilities are given at SIS, 323.9S
and the assets at SO, 1851, giving
creditors &c cents on the dollar. The in
debteClness is for the most part in the
form of obligations to private par
ties and omparatively little is owing
to wholesale firms. The assets con-
sist of a general store and stock with
real estate located in Milan.
The store has been closed and
meeting of the creditors will be held
at the office of Mr.. Peasants Dec. 13,
at which time a trustee in bankruptcy
will probably be appointed.
School FCnds Intact.
Mr.. Gilmore has been in business in
Milan for years and has many friends
who will be very sorry to learn of the
financial misfortunes that have over
taken him. He has held the Office of
. township school treasurer for Black
Hawk for several terms, but the
school funds are understood to have
been accounted for so that his bonds
men will not be called upon.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause Generally Over
looked

looked.
Headache is n symptom, an indica-
ton of arrangement or disease in
some organ. and the cause of the
headache is difficult to locate because
so many diseases have headache as
Il prominent symptom: arrangement
of the stomach and liver, heart trou-
BILE, kidney disease, lung trouble, eye
strain or ill-fitting glasses all pro-
duce headaches, and if we could al
ways locate the organ which is at
fault the cure of obstinate headaches
would be a much simpler matter.
However. for that form. of head
ache called frontal headache, pain
back of the eyes and in forehead, the
cause is now known to be catarrh of
the head and throat; when the ca
tarrh is located in back of head and
neck il is often caused from catarrh
of the stomach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most
common cause of such headaches and
the cure of the catarrh causes Il
prompt disappearance of the head
aches.
There is at present no treatment
for catarrh so convenient and effcc-
tive as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, Il
new internal remedy in tablet form,
composed of antiseptics like red gum.
blood root, which act upon the blood
and cause the elimination of the ca
tarrhal poison from the system
through the natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, prominent
school teacher in one of our normal
schools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogizes
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as n cure
for them. She says: Il suffered
daily from severe frontal headache
and pain in and back of the eyes, at
times so intensely as to incapacitate
me in my daily duties. j had suffered
from, catarrh more or less for years,
but never thought it was the cause
of my headaches; but finally became
convinced that such was the case be-
cause the headaches were always
worse whenever 1 had a cold or fresh
attack of catarTh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were
highly recommended to me as a safe
and pleasant catarrh cure, and after
using few 80 cent boxes which l
procured from my druggist, 1 was
surprised and delighted to find that
both the catarrh and headaches had
gone for good
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at 50 cents per package,
under the guarantee of the proprie-
tors that they contain absolutely no
cocaine (found in so many catarrh
cheap cough cures), nor any harmful
drug. They contain simply the whole
some antiseptics necessary to destroy
and drive from the system the germs
of catarrhal disease.

Comber, miner, formerly employed at
the Rarus took his own life by swallowing
a large quantity of morphine at the Oak.

He was discovered this morning by the
landlady, Miss Bertha Guse. 1t was
thought that life had been extinct for more
than "a hours.
McComber left several notes to hts
friends, in which he explained that he had
taken his life after mature deliberation
and requested them to do few things tor
him after he was dead. A number of NOR
phne powders we're found at his bedside,
each containing 10 grains of the drug.
-Four empty papers indicated that he had
taken about 20 grains-suflicient to kill a
number of men.
Miss Guse, proprietor of the Oakland
rooming house, stated that McComber had
come Thursday night and engaged a room.
He retired about midnight and yesterday
morning, when maid went to clean up
the room, he was still in bed, apparently
sleeping. Nothing was thought of the
matter at the time, and it was not until
this morning, when he was seen in the
same position that the affair was investi-
gated. He was dead and showed evil
dence of having been dead for some time.

Coroner Johnson was at once notified and
upon his arrival the body was taken to

McComber was about SO years of age

He had doubtless gone about the matter
Of taking his life with cool deliberation, for
the notes left on the wash-stand showed
that he had planned it fully.
One note to Coroner Johnson read:

as follows:

The last time he had spoken to him was
Thursday evening when McComber came
into the saloon and asked for bottle of
whisky He said that he purposed sober
ing up and that he needed the liquor to
brace him up in the morning.
McComber left the saloon, taking a
pint flask of whisky with him. That he
did not go to his room was evident when,
Friday morning, Al Martin came in and
informed Mr.. Mullins that McComber had
not yet made his appearance, and that
when he did Mr. Mullins was to inform
him that position had been secured for
McComber at the Rarus mine.
Mr.. Mullins stated that McComber had
been drinking heavily and mad been gamb-
ling. He did not think he had lost any
considerable amount, but that it was all
he had His resolve Thursday night to
sober up and go to work was taken as
genuine, but subsequent events showed
that McComber must have had the plan
