Fisher, president of the motor speedway, the racing cars in the free-for-all 500-mlle con test made a slow circuit of the course Just before 10 o’clock. At 10:30 the starting bomb was fired and the racers plunged forward on the mad chase around the brick- paved track. Bob Burman. driving a Keeton, was the first man who experienced trouble His steering knuckle was broken. His car could not make the preliminary circuit of the course. While the other c;ars made the circuit Burman and Tony Janette, his mechanician, work ed desperately. Their car wag repaired and they trundled on the track and got away .lust before the starter would hav been compelled to declare them out of the race. The crowd, which favored Burman, cheered wildly when it Haw his Kt ton take the track. His only handicap as a result of the accident was the lack of a flying start and a position far back in the field. The other cars oroiH tl at arting line at an in creasing speed of 60 miles an hour.

Harry Grant, with one of the Isot- ta cars, developed tire trouble and went out of the race at the end of 80 miles. At the end of the twenty-ninth lap DePalma, a favorite wMth speedway fans, got back into the race as re lief driver. He slipped into the seat of (’aleb Bragg, his Mercer team mate, and starter! around the course with the touch of daredevil that has endeared him to motor fans.

Grant discovered a leak in the gaso line tank that made it impossible for him to get back in the race. As Burman was making his fortieth lap F.ndicott, In a Nyberg, was mak ing his twentieth. Burman was driving a masterly race. For the first ten laps he con tented himself with careful driving. Then he began to develop the speed of his car and soon shot ahead. Merz drew an enthusiastic round of applause when he stopped at the Htutz pit, changed a tire and took on oil and gasoline in 65 seconds. For llu- first 100 miles th.- time av eraged 78.94 miles an hour, while for 120 miles the average was 79.11. This was not equal to last year's speed. The time for 140 miles was 1:45:08.75.

IS ASTOR Ml CLOSES; Finest Hostelry in World When Built, It Gives Way to New Century’s Progress. NEW YORK May 30.—The old An- tor House, which stands \n the path of a proposed subway, was closed yesterday and It is practically certain its doors will never be opened as a hostelry again. In all probability the building will be torn down and a modern structure erected on its site, which is one of the most valuable in the city. The property is owned Jointly by Vincent Astor and William Waldorf Astor, Vincent owning the southern half while the northern half belongs to his cousin. The Astor House was built by the original John Jacob Astor, w r bo had his little fur store around the corner on Vesey Street. To build the hotel he secured the property from various owners whose homes occupied the site. The building was finished in 1836, and in May of that year the doors of the finest hotel in America at that time were thrown open. It had Cost $350»000 to build; an enormous sum for those days. Although ther*' wasn’t a room with a private bath in the house it was considered to be the last word in elegance and luxury. For 20 years after it* opening the hotel continued to be the headquar ters for notable* who yisited New York. Foreign nobleman who came tory of the city. here, prominent politicians and statesmen of our own country and the social elite all stopped at the Astor House. Dnniel Webster was fre quently registered at the hotel. John C. Calhoun, Silas Wright, Franklin Pierce, Martin Van Buren, James Buchanan, Zachary Taylor, Willi;.'m G. Seward, Stephen A. Douglas, LeW- is Gass, Jefferson Davis, Horatio Sey mour and Henrv Clay were all reg istered at the hotel at one time or another President Lincoln stopped there on his first visit to New York. The monster meeting to arrange for the reception of Charles Dickens on the occasion of his visit to this country was held here. Many public dinners of note, chief among them the dinner in honor of the Prince de Joinville, in 1841, were held In the dining room. General Fremont and his family lived there during the presidential cam- paign of 1856, and Admirals Fnrra- gut and Porter were frequent guests after the war. Save money NOW on Furniture at High’s.

In Clogged Bowels a Menace to Health Constipation at Bottom of Most Serious Illnesses— Avoided by a Simple Remedy. Trace the origin of the com moner ills of life and almost in variably you will find that con stipation was the cause. It is not to be expected that a mass of fer mented food can remain in the system beyond its time without vitiating the blood and affecting the nerves and muscles. It con gests the entire body. The results are colds, fevers, piles, headaches and nervousness with its accompanying indigestion artd sleeplessness. There is only one thing to do, and that is to remove the trouble; and when na ture seems unable to do it, outside aid is necessary. You will find the best Of all outside aids a remedy that many thousands are now us ing for this very purpose, called Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Many hundreds of letters are re ceived by Dr. Caldwell 'telling of the good results obtained and among the enthusiastic letters is one from Docia Wood, of Little River Academy, North Carolina, who suffered with constipation and indigestion so badly that she could not sleep well at night and everything she ate distressed her. She writes that after her mother had given her Dr. Caldwell’s Syr up Pepsin she “can now eat any thing.” It has untold advantages over pills, salts and the various coarse cathartics and purgatives, for while these do but temporary good, Syrup Pepsin cures perma- DOCIA WOOD. nently. The effect of its action is to train the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work naturally again, and in a short time ail forms of medicine can be dis pensed with. It can be bought without inconvenience at any nearby drug store for fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter size being regularly bought by those who already know its value. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a person al trial of it before buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your address—a postal will do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 417 Washington Street, Monticello, Ill., and a free sample bottle will be mailed you. An Exceptional Opportunity!
