LOUISVILLE , Ky. , March 28. Tie two
three-story warehouses of the Pleasure Ridge
Park Distilling company were destroyed by
lire this morning , with all their contents , In
cluding upward of 30,000 barrels of whisky.
It Is believed the fire was caused by a spirk
blown from one of the smoke stacks of the
distillery proper. The plant was equipped
with a fire osrvlce , but as the flro started
forty-flve feet from the ground , the streams
could not reach the flames. The fire spread
to the barrels Inside the buildings , and In
leas than ten minutes the first barrel ex
ploded , throwing burning whisky all over the
place and putting the flro beyond control.
The wind was blowing a gale and fanned the
flamcB to a great height. The efforts of the
employes were directed toward saving the
distillery proper , and as that was on the
windward side of the flro they were able to
cut off the flames from It. The cooper shop
burned to the ground In less than twenty
minutes. The total loss Is about $425,000 ,
of which $330,000 Is on bonded whisky ,

No Solution In SlKht for the Chicago
Trniilc My tory.
CHICAGO , March 28. Tlio mystery of the
body found In the box : by Carl Hasa and
Philip Grlcss at Austin Thursday afternoon
yet remains unsolved. Three cases of men
who have disappeared In the west In or near
Salt Lake. City have been reported to the
authorities , but there socms to be no way
of determining the Identity of the body. The
cases are : Oliver Pike , disappeared at Seat
tle , Wash. , three years ago ; an Englishman ,
employed on a ranch near Salt Lake City ,
three years ago ; Joanes Prosper Chazul , dis
appeared at Salt Lake City three years ago.
It seems unlikely , the pollco'say , that the
body at the morgue Is that of Chazat. , The
Frenchman Is described as bolng flve"feet
eleven Inches In height , while the body la
only flvo feet six Inches. The teeth of tbo
Frenchman were Oiled with a composition of
steel , whllo the teeth of the cadaver are
sound and without fillings. If the friends
of either the unknown Englishman pr Oliver
Plko succeed In Identifying the body at the
morgue by a scrap of hair , a eel of tcoth and
a truss they will accomplish wonders , for
these are the only things they have to go
by. The rest of thq body Is past Identifica
tion.

THE GAUSU OP LAOIlIIU'IS.
Now Admitted to lie from Deriiuacd
Careful observation In many cases of La
Grlppo extending over several years bavo
gradually developed the fact that It Is very
generally caused from dietetic errors.
In other words , during tlm prevalence of
LaGrippo persons who suffer from Indigestion
or Ntomach troubles ore almost Invariably
victims of the epidemic.
This can bo readily understood when you
remember that the genna of any dlseaua
cannot gain a foothold In the system of a
man or woman blessed with perfect diges
tion , because perfect digestion moans perfect
liealth , and such persons can bid defiance to
La Grippe or to any other prevailing epl-
demlc ,
For this reason physicians have recently
Introduced Into tliolr practice the new prep
aration known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
as an almost certain preventatlvo of La
Grippe , as this remedy , by giving perfect
digestion and assimilation of the food so forti
fies the system against dlieaso that all danger -
gor from this epidemic Is reduced to a mini-
num.
So popular have Stuart's Dyspesla Tablets
become that It Is claimed that within one
month after being made known to the pub
ic one hundred and ulno-throo druggists In
Detroit , Mich. , aldio were wiling it , ana
today they pronounce It the most satltfac-
tory remedy they are selling for all forms
of stomach derangement.
The prlco at drugeUU Is but CO cents for
full sized package ,
It la not a cure-all , but Is recommended
as a euro for Dyspepsia and stomach.
