Stagnation.

Trade in our city is almost at a
stand still just now, and especially
since tho location of the G. is. r. r.
10 Bloomfield and Fairfield, and more
especially since the "Shoo Fly" arti-
Gle which camc out in the Bloomfield
Republican, for VIC assure our readers
and tho public abroad, that Bloom
field has a paper in it. That city has
absorbed tho business of Ottumwa
to such an alarming extent that we
really arc fearful that not more than
eight hundred thousand dollars worth
of business will be transacted i n this
city this week. To anticipate CHS
fearful stagnation, seven of our fool
ish merchants are now on their way
East, laying 10 third winters stock,
having cleared ont two stocks already
80 far, and what appears more redicu-
lous still, is that our hitherto supposed
sagacious business men don't 90 to
Bloomfield for supplies. Isl it posi-
BILE that thesmall, insignificant village
of Now York, Boston, Philadelphia
etc., stands right in the light Of
Bloomfield? Bloomfield sold three
pairs of mems socks last fall and that
ravished tho market. Yet, we under
stand that they arc now negotiating
en- nsdsse with the Harry Nation, for
three sheep pelts, with prospects of
''ccess, which will, undoubtedly draw
.rade from all that portion of country
which il embraced in the precincts
the public square. Merchants of
OttumwM look to your prestige, or
you may lose the con fidence of Bloom
Aeld! Up, and with all your united
energies, try to recognize such pro-
vincial burg as Bloomfield.

THE INFIRMITIEs OF AGE.

THE INFIRMITIES OF AGE.
Decreptitude is the natural accompaniment
of old age, but it may be ameliorated, and the
period OF entire helplessness long postponed
by the judiciOus use of n healthful stimulant
Physicians, fully aware OF this fact usually
recommend moderate stimulation when the
strength and vigOrof maturity have been sus-
pended by the feebieness and prostration
which are the Inevitable results of declining
years. Port wine. gin, brandy. and other
liquors are often prescribed by medical men
Jor aged persons but the impulse which fer
mented and distilled liquors give to the circu-
lation, and the energy they seem to inlpart. is
transitory, unless the alcoholic principle is
modified and qualified by the presence OF
medical tones and invigorants. OF all the
combinations of diffusive stimuli with the
juices of herbs, roots and banks that have ev-

effects es Hostetter's stomach Bltters.. The
difference between the effect of thu Bitters
and that Of a mere excitant however pure. Is
the same as between the effect of a sudden

TO given purpose and the result of a steady
continuous application of exactly the requi-
site amount of force to the same end. The
mere spirit of physical energy produced by a
dram (and which is always succeeded by cor
responding depression never yet benefited
any man or woman suffering from physical
decay. A cordial like Hostetter's Bit:ers, at
once soothing and inyigorating, Is the rene

For the Ottumwa COURIER.

The last number Of the Davis
County Republican, published at
Bloomfield, Iowa, contains the fol.
lowing local news item:
"MAKE A NOTE OF TH1s.--Western
Insurance Companies only, have paid
their losses in Ottumwa.'
l will say that this article is unjust
to the eastern Insurance Companies
doing business in Ottumwa, and is
to call it by mild name, "a round
Uarnisled tale If the article above
referred to had stated that none but
Western Insurance Companies had
not paid their losses, it would have
been nearer the truth.
The several Eastern Insurance
Companies doing business in Ottum-
wa paid over two hundred thousand
dollars lost at the great fire Of Octo-
Der 1868. The Etna insurance Co.,
was amongst tho first to pay alter
the fires this winter. The fire on
Main street, occurred December 3D.,
1869. The Etna Insurance Compa-
ny paid J. W. &. A. &. Higgins and
Alex. Burns their losses, December
18th, and Fisher & Leighton, damage
to their building, Dec. 18th, as will
be shown by the receipts on file in
office of their Agent, in Ottumwa.
The fire on Green street. occurred
January 10th, 1870, by which tho
Underwriters Agency and Lorillard
Insurance Companies Of Now York,
sustained a loss on N. Bakers brick
warehouse. Mr.. Baker was paid
January 9th, rs will be shown by
his receipts in the Office OF the Agent
Of said Companies.
The Western Insurance Company
OF Des Moines, Iowa, has suspended
and its affairs placed in the hands of
q receiver, since the Green street fire.
Ask the mon who have sustained
losses at the Green street fire if the
Western Insurance Company has
paid it's losses.
This is practical illustration of
the much boasted soundnoss of the
State law regulating Iowa Insurance
Companies.
Let the Davis County Republican
: make note" Of the above facts.

bubbles. EDWIN WHITE

On the LIST of January, 1869, there
were about 100000 hogs in tho
State Of Iowa. The annual loss from
disease is about Ia per cent, CT 49,

cents per pound, there is a yearly loss
10 the people of the State OF So, 1877

it is no less Il fact that uinety per
