Help the Torpid Organs.

When the body lie in a state of heath, the food
taken into the stomach acts on the bowels az n
stmuiant, causing in them that worm like mott n
by which their contents expelled. The liver
being in natural condition, the flow of the bile
(which is mild eaihartic) into the intestines is
ample and regular, and hence the discharges are
easy and sufficiently frequent The reverse of all
this constitutes costveness and the only true meth
cd OF cure Is to restore the functional activity of
the two important organs which use the bowels as
sewer for the egress of waste matt,r. For this
purpose Hostetter's Stomach Bitters can be conf.
denllally recommended the most effective of all
medicines 1t lie not too much 10 9ay that c ,ronic

CHmEs' Tone ELIXIR.-The most uni
versal diseases, especially in this changea-
bic climate, are those arising from disor-
dered state of the stomach and liver, and
in fact it is difficult TO find disease, ex-
Guiding epidemics, which cannot be traced
to these causes. 1t therefore behooves all
classes to be prepared to ward off danger
by always keeping on hand some good and
T shable remedy Much study and re-
search has been given, by the best men in
the country, to discover some such remedy.
Many compounds have been devised and
tried but none have seemed to be so entire
" satisfactory as TO meet with general ap-
proval until the discovery and introduction
to the public OF "Chiles Tonic Elixir" In
presenting this valuable medicine to the
public, DR. Edward Cliles, of Philadel-
phia, conscientiously assures all that it will
cure those diseases which are enumerated
in his advertisement, which can be found
in this issue Of THE ARGUS. This is fur

from well known and responsible parties.
These diseases yield readily and rapidly to
the powerful yet gentle influence of this
wonderful remedy. The sale of this valu-
able elixir is already large and rapidly in
creasing wherever known. Call for it at

Correction.
In late issue Of the THE ARGUS there
appeared the following:

A spark from locomotive on the Rockford
road did considerable damage, near Erie, station
on that road on Friday the sist ult. TwJ hundred
and twenty-five tons Of hay were destroyed. and
about jJi rods Of teuce, and a Large amount Of
com
This item we found in one Of our exchan-
ges, and supposed it to be correct Mr.
VI ID. Merrill, Of the Rockford road, in
forms Us that the fire alluded to occurred
about the 18th or Goth. instead of the 3lst.;
that it was this side of Erie, and that it
was not set by spark from one of their
locomotives He says the fire started
about noon, or after noon, and ran rapidly
over considerable territory, as everything
was very dry and it would run almost like
a flash Of lightning as soon as it took. The
| train going up was at Erie at 9 A. M-and
OF course the fire could not have been set
by that train. The down train left
Erie at Al Gin the afternoon,
and the fire was then raging and had cross
ed the Rockford track before the train ar
rived near it. OF course that train could
not have set the fire No other train had
interviewed between the 9 A. NJ. and the
447 P, NJ. train, and the fire was
first discovered just about or after noon
at long distance away from the line of
the road, but it ran towards and crossed
the road before the Al p. NJ. train came
down. Mr.. Merrill went up there the day
after the fire and investigated the matter
Everybody knew it was not set by
a spark from locomotive-that was an
imrossibility, looking at the time and place
where it originated. Some thought it
started from fire built by farmer to
burn some refuse matter-others thought
it might have accidentally been set BY
hunters, as there were good many hun
tiers in that region, shooting chickens,
ducks, and other game-but no one thought
it was set by spark from locomotive.
No fire has occurred of any note in the
region since that time

The New Haven Press says the condition
Of the Howe Sewing Machine company of
Bridgeport for some time has been rather
dubious. 1t appears that about five hun
bred men have been discharged during the
past few months, and now $50 are at work.
This week the men have been paid for Au-
gust S work, but there is no telling when
they will get their September pay. 1t
appears that arrangements had
been made to pay them up to the
present time, but the hands refused to car
ry out their part of the agreement. The
company is now trying to collect some
s9O0,O 900 due them for machines, and if
this can be done the concern will be in
good running order again.
