ent Bott, aged 81, insane from tn.
NOR of the brain, kept the city in a
panic of fear for two hours, when he
started eight fires in the business dis
trict, any one of which might have
swept the city. With devilish cunning
he fed from place to place on bicy-
ole, and started his fires in such places
as would cause the quickest contagra-
tion. Twice he made detours, once to
the west and once to the east side,
where he fired barns, a distance of IL
blocks from the down town district, in
order to scatter the fire department.
The entire police force was turned
out to chase him. and hundreds of cit.
liens joined. Business men put their
forces Of clerks on patrol duty about
their buildings.
When Bott was finally captured by
Police Judge Dreibelbiss he was touch
ing a match to the Myers livery sta

ed its hose lines and the men were too
weary to fight longer.

thoroughly dry one part of Portland
cement with seven or eight parts of
sand or gravel After it is thoroughly
mixed sufficient water should be added
to make it of the proper consistency
to stick together when pressed into a
ball, but not so wet that the water may
be squeezed out. 1t is then put into
place and tamped down solid as pos
sible. The top coat may be made by
thoroughly sitting the sand through a
one-eiSht inch sieve. This should also
be mixed first dry. then wet in the pro-
portion of one bucket of cement to two
of sand.
In preparing the upper coat it may be
made thinner than the bottom coat, as
this must be struck with Il straight
edge and then laid with a trowel and
roughened to prevent the animals from
slipping.
There are two ways to lay a cement
stable floor. The better way is to
divide the space into divisions of four
or five feet in width with planks having
straight upper edges that may be pro-
perly leveled the one way and given
the proper incline the other way. In
laying the bottom it is begun at one
end of the stable and each section made
complete and struck TO the level of the
planks, the planks or board divisions
being taken up after the cement is laid,
struck, and leveled down.
The other way is to level the ground
to begin with and drive little stakes
every few feet all over the stable
bottom to the proper depth, each stake
beino Srncpd and lpyplp6 and the
cement laid in conformity with these
stakes. Whichever system is adopted,
great care should be observed in laying
out the bottom to have it right when
finished. y stable floor should be per-
fectly level with the exceptions of the
incline of the standing floor. This in
cline elevates the Manager and feeding
floor whether the stable has a double
or single row of stalls.-Farm and

RICH MEN ARE NOT ALL HAPPY.
Croesus, King OF Lydia. Had Troubles
of His Own, and There Are Others.

Croesus, the John d. Rockefeller of
the kingdom Of Lydia, was very we'll
to-do in worldly goods and chattels
"As rich as Croesus' is a saying about
2,5GO years old. He had his troubles,
however. ai'G some of them were tull
grown. He was taken captive once by
Cyrus and only saved himself from be-
ing burned alive by quoting saying
of Scion, the Sage. FIe finally had to
Zee his kingdom for parts unknown.
Many of the rich mans troubles to-
day come f. ~ h,s;n living ant, co'Ill ne
avoided. They are brought on by eat
ing all kinds Of rich, heavy foods at
irregular tines, lack of proper exercise,
undue mental strain, unnatural stimu-
lants, etc, and are commonly known
as Indigestion. dyspepsia and weak
stomach. They are serious troubles
all right, but not only can they be
avoided but can also be cured, and that
without loss of time or proper food and
nourishmcnt.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief of dyspeptics, rich and
poor alike. There is no such thing as
stopping their onward progress now.
n great I'D tlOIi HIS placed us SldiIp VI
approval upon their noble work. The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have effected and the happiness result
ing therefrom have made their name
a household word throughout the land.
THE story of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets can be told in a word. They
actually do the work that the weak and
wasted stomach is unable to do and
allow it to recuperate and regain its
strength. They contain all the
essential properties that the gastric
Juice and other digestive fluids do, and
they digest the food just as a sound
and we'll stomach would. They rslieve
the stomach just as one rested and
refreshed workman relieves one on duty
that is tired and worn, and Nature does
her own work of restoration. 1t is
simple. natural process that a child can
understand You can eat all you want
without fear of results. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all
druggists at so cents box. Druggists
all know better then to try to get along
without them. as the demand for them
is great and universal.
