STANLEY IS WRATHY.
Has Been Mistreated by
the Police.

G. V. Stamey, whose barn was burn
ed last Sunday night, is indignant at
some of the stories which the police
have circulated in regard to the burn
ing of the barn which he had leased,
which took place last Sunday night
Mr.. Stamey believes that the police
purposely circulated a report that / ;
had started the fire on his own re-
sponsibility, as the insurance had been
cancelled. Mr.. Stamey denies any
such a motive and Furthermore denies
that the insurance was cancelled. Mr..
Stamey was also greatly offended at
the efforts of the police to fasten the
crime of incendiarism on his young
son, The police, according to Mr..
Stamey, claimed that they were
watching the barn on the evening of
the fire, and in this event, he thinks it
is a neglect of duty that allowed the
fire to take place
Mr.. Stamey once had some trouble
with some undesirable parties and on
the occasion of each of his three fires,
all of which have happened within
the past eight months, he has notified
the police of his suspicious, but in no
instance have they investigated these
parties. Another feature of the case
in which Mr.. Stamey does not believe
the police acted right. was the re-
moval of the remains of the fire horses
mova1 of the remains of five horses
Stamey was charged $3.50 for the
job, which is greatly in excess of the
regular legal rate.

FRIENDS OF The HORSE.
Anti-Cruelty Crusaders Tour New
York in an Automobile.

Chicago, May 22.-Sick horses hob
bling about the streets were rescued
Yesterday by three women OF the Anti
Cruelty society which toured several
districts in an automobile, following
the formal opening of a Haven Tor
Horses at Beverly Hills The chau1-
feur is a special officer and on the seat
beside him was a regular policeman.
Mrs. r. L. Clifford, who is chairman
of the committee on prosecutions, act
ed as lookout for the party.
There's a binder" or there's
lame one or there's a sore back,
Mrs. Clifford would cry. Her an
nouncement acted like there she
blows' upon a whaler. The big auto
mobile would come to a sudden stop
and the two men would approach the
driver of horse that seemed in trouble
and present a card of the Anti-Cruelty
society and their credentials
They would examine the horse care
fully and insist upon whatever was
wrong being righted at once. In
many cases the trouble was due to a
binder having become loose and flap
ping against one eye of a horse. The
policemen insisted on temporary re-
pairs at once and a promise to have
the harness repaired at the first shop.
Twenty drivers were stopped during
the trip.

ONE I'm THREE
Every Third Person Poisoned by
Coffee.

1t is difficult to make people be-
1ieve that coffee is an absolute poison
to at least one person out of every
three, but people are slowly finding it
out, although thousands of them suf-
fer terribly before they discover the
fact. A New York hotel man says:
Each time after drinking coffee
became restless, nervous and excited,
so that I was unable to sit five min
utes in one place, was also inclined
to vomit and suffered from loss of
sleep, which got worse and worse.

was the cause of my trouble and sug

that time. The next day the cattle
again invaded my orchard, and were

was attacked by the belong boy. In
defending herself she pushed him
down and he yelled for his father,

Fred Boutwell, says that he has no

About year ago." he says, this
controversy started. At that time
there had been some trouble, and the
court appointed a receiver for the
property for the express purpose of
keeping the peace, and to make dou-
bly, sure, placed my father and myself
under bond to keep the peace. How
ever, the court neglected to place the
same conditions on belong, and it
leaves us in a position where we must
take the insults and injuries of De-
Long without retaliation. The recent
disturbance was this: Belongs boy
assaulted my little girl while she was
trying to drive the calves out of the
orchard. The next day came to the
county officers to complain against
his efforts to start a row, and while
I was on this errand, the performance
was repeated, but this time my little
girl defended herself and threw the
boy down. I do not want the court or
the public to get the impression that
I am a bad man and seeking to
break the order of the court I have
no gun, nor have I any intention of
fighting with DeLong."

A falling tiny nerve-no larger
than the finest silken thread-takes
from the heart its impulse, its power,
its regularity. The stomach also
has its hidden, or inside nerve. 1t
was DR.. Shoop who first told us it
was wrong to drug weak or fail
ing Stomach, Heart or Kidneys.
His prescription-Dr. Shops Re-
storative-is directed straight for the
cause of these ailments-these weak
and faltering nerves. This, no doubt
clearly explains why the Restorative
has of late grown SO rapidly in pop
ularity. Druggists say that those
who test the Restorative even for a
