control and the insurance commissioner.
The local fire department had ten
streams of water playing on the flames
with but little effect
Two fire companies arrived from Mil
waukee, but too late to render assist
ance, as the flames had practically wiped
out every department of the building with
the exception Of the north end. In this
portion were located the supreme court
and attorney generals Office, and these
are the only departments saved.
Insurance Had Lapsed.
Gov. Scofield maintained insurance on
the building throughout his term total
ing $500, 900, but the last legislature in
stituted an insurance fund and directed
that the state officers allow the insur-
ance policies to lapse. In June last there
lapsed $50, 200 and in December the sum
of 100000. There is in the insurance
fund at the present time about $4,000 to
meet the loss.

and south wings, the east and west wings
having by this time been destroyed. The
last departments to burn were those of
the secretary of state and governor on
the south, the attorney general and in

and the supreme court law library and
state library commission on the second
floor.

ords are believed to be safe. Most OF
them remain in masonry and steel vaults
in the ruins and their safety depends on
the extent Of the fireproof character OF
the vaults. The state treasury had only
about $4,000 in cash on hand.
The origin of the fire is now believed
to have been a lighted gas jet in a
toilet room on the second floor. The
flame was close to and ignited vanished
ceiling.
All of the contents Of the immense law
library, situated In the north end of the
building, were carried out, together with
large quantity of other books and pa
pers.
Included in the burned portion was the
Grand Army hall. The battle flags and
other relics were saved.
During the fire Chief Charles Bernard
was overcome by smoke and fell from
ladder, receiving serious injuries. He
was taken to his home, where he lies I'M
conscious.
From an original cost of $50, 900 in 1887

amount and quality OF exercise recon-
mended by a skillful physician in
charge of the farm.
The farm. according to the dean, is
not an experiment, as it has been dem
onstrated beyond doubt that the eli
mate and treatment have improved
every case except one which has come
under treatment at the farm. The farm
was opened last May, since when sixty
three patients have taken advantage of
the opportunity offered by the Y. M. G.

other case has benefited materially by
the treatment and the majority have
been enabled to return to their employ

ed on the farm, and an additional $I0-

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless DIuested
Some Stomachs Must Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach which.
from the nature of the food or the condi-
eion of the stomach, is not digested. is
woTse than no food at all. This is true
statement as far as it goes and great
many dyspeptics go only this far with their
reasoning. They argue with themselves
that because their stomachs do not do the
work given them, they must be
given less work; in other words.
they must be starved. 1t would
be just as sensible for a business
man who is unable to do all his own WORK
to cut down his business to his own ca
pacity as 1t is for a man to starve him
self to relieve his stomach. The sensible
business man employs help and goes for
ward with his business. Likewise the
sensible dyspeptic viii employ help for
his stomach and give his body proper
nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned to them. They relieve
weak and overburdened stomachs of a
great portion of digestive action Their
component parts are identical with those
of the digestive fluids and secretions of the
stomach and simply take up the grind and
carry on the work just the same as a
good strong, healthy stomach would do 1T.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are perfectly natural in their action
anu eIeClS. IHey 90 not cause any I'M
natural or violent disturbance in the stom-
ach or bowels. They themselves digest
the food and supply the system with all
the nouriShment contained in what is
eaten and carry out Natures plans for the
sustenance and maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible Is this method
than that employed by many sufferers
from weak stomachs. BY this means
body and brain get all the good nutritious
food they need and the man is properly
nourished and equipped to carry on his
work and perform his duties. He could
not possibly be in proper working condi-
ton by starving himself or employing
some newfangled insufficient food that
does not contain enough nutriment for
a-year-old baby. A strong man doing
strong work must be properly fed and this
applies to the brain as well as the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by reliev-
ing the stomach Of it's work, enable It to
recuperate and regain its normal health
and strength Nature repairs the worn
and wasted tissues just as she heals and
knits the bone of a broken limb, which
Is Of course not used during the process
Of repair.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at so cents a box and they
are the one article that the druggist does
not try to sell something in the place Of
that's Just as good" Their unqualified
merit and success and the universal de-
mand for them has placed them within the
reach of every one.

Proposed Removal Of Capital.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Feb. 27.--A move
ment has been started for the removal Of
the state capital to Milwaukee. There are
no constitutional provisions preventing the
location of the capital here, and the
change can be made by legislative enact
ment. Article IA, section 6, Of the con-
stitution, provides that the seat Of gov
eminent shall be at Madison until other
wise provided by law" Section 6, arti-
Gle 10, relating to the university, says:
Provision shall be made by law for the
establishment of a state university at or
near the seat of government"
Good lawyers say this provision would
be amply complied with by the location Of
the capital here, Milwaukee being in suf-
ficiently close proximity to Madison to
comply with the provision.

GUNBOAT IN JAP TRAP
China Oders Gunboat to Leave but
She Refuses.

China Oders Gunboat to Leave but
She Refuses.
New York Sun Special Service.
Shanghai, Feb. 22.-The fate Of the
gunboat Mandjur has become an in
ternational affair. The agreement that
the gunboat should disarm and re-
main at this port until the conclusion
of hostilties has been promptly
quashed by the authorities at Toxic,
and also by the Chinese.
Mr.. Odagili, the Japanese consul,
yesterday morning received orders to
demand the expulsion Of the vessel,
armed or disarmed. The tao-tai ac-
cordingly sent note to the Russian
consul, Kleimoneff, demanding that
the Mandjur should leave port within
twenty-four hours. A blank re-
fusal was the result. Odagila has
wired the tao-tai plainly Of the serious
consequences that may ensue If China
deliberately permits such q fragrant
breach Of neutrality. Russia. now
claims that the Mandjur Is entitled to,
remain to guard Russian interests.
This claim is supported by the French
consul.
On board the Mandjur, the Russians
are in state Of abject terror. The
Chinese in port openly deride and
jeer at them. They are wildly excited
over the whole incident. The Japanese
cruiser Akitsushima remains at
Woosung, her decks cleared for &C
ton. The Mandjur cannot escape
her.

New York Sun Special Service.
London, Feb. pa diplomat, the
mention of whose name in connection
with the following disclosure would
cause a sensation, declares that there
will be a war in the Balkans within the
next two months, and with the tacit
consent of the powers.
The war will be between Turkey and
Bulgaria, and it is the expectation that
Turkey will inf1ict upon her so-called
dependency such castigation that for
years to come there will be no further
attempt to start evolutions in Mace
dOnia.
He further says that there is abso-
lutely no danger of a European con-
f1ict resulting from such a war.
It is reported from Paris that Great
Britain and France are taking con-
certed action to regulate the Balkan
situation, seeking to restrain Turkey
and the war party in Bulgaria.
Reports from the Bulgarian frontier
are that action by the Macedonians
will be in full swing as soon as the
weather permits, but it is thought that
the sultan has received a hint from the
German, Austrian and other ambassa-
doris to be cautious, as the discom-
future of Russia is not certain.

Mine WORKERS
PROPOSE STRIKE
Proposed Reduction of Wages in
Soft Coal Regions Meets
Opposition.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Feb. 22.-Unless
the soft coal operators give in and
agree to renew the present scale, a
strike of the mine workers of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and western Pennsyl-
vania is inevitable.
President MITCHELL declares he does
not approve a reduction and the dele
gates from this region to the confer
ence of Feb. 20 are equally positive.
It would be taken as a setback for
the union and, aside from affect
ing the bituminous, 1T would decrease
the chances the anthracite workers
have Of gaining concessions when their
agreement with the operators expires
in 1905.
Organization among the soft coal
workers is proceeding with marked
success and when the agreement ex-
pires on April i it is expected that 80
per cent of the workers will be mem
bers of the union and that the opera
tors will be unable to mine coal with
the small proportion Of the nonunion
element.

CRANK ARRESTED

Washington, Feb. 22.-Edward
Relgar, who gave his address as 271
South Clark street, Chicago, was ar
rested at the White House to-day and
loced up pending an inquiry into his
mental condition.
Relgar evidently is of unbalanced
mind. He has written many letters
to the president suggesting that people
be named in accordance with their
occupations. Thus he maintains that
a dealer in wood should be named
Wood, carpenter should be named
Carpenter and soton.
He says that the present scheme of
naming people has caused a war
among the flies which may be ended
only by the adoption Of his sugges-
ton. Ralger desired to see the presi-
dent to ascertain why his letter had
not been answered. When searched a
loaded revolver and a box of cartridges
were found in his pockets.

AMERICAN TRADE MENACED
United States Will Not Permit Seizure
of Food StuffS

Washington, Feb. 22.-officials here
are apprehensive that frictions may
follow the efforts of the belligerents
in Asia to define contraband of war in
manner injurious to American trade.
There is reason to believe that some
of the European powers already have
been confronted with threatened re-
strictions upon their trade which they
are disposed to resist.
A vast quantity of American food
stuffs is now afloat destined for both
Russian and Japan, and it is probable
that the question will be very speedily
raised as to whether or not these sup
plies are contraband of war.
The United States has in recent
years insisted that foodstuffs were not
contraband and could not be seized by
a belligerent unless it were shown that
the goods were consigned to or clearly
intended for a belligerent.
