A Good App Oint1n ent.

Hon. S. j. ConlIin, of Waterloo, has re-
ceived the appointment from the Internal
Revenue Department, Washington, of Rev =
enue Agent for Wisconsin, vice A. e. Bur-
pee removed. The position was wholly un-
sought by Mr.. Conklin, but, as should
be oftener the case, the position sough t
Mr.. Conkln, and the Department is to b e
congratulated in finding one who is 30 well
fitted by experience and ability to discharge
tbs duties of the office. Mr. Conkln was
for nearly four years Supervisor Of Inter-
nal Revenue for the District,o Mississippi
and Louisiana, aud retired from the service
with honor 10 him self and credit to the
Government. No Federal a,poin tment
made in this state for number of years
appears to give such general satisfaction to
men of all parties as this one, aud that its
duties will be faithfully and fearlessly dis
charged by the present appointee we have
every reason to believe

NIRU
Natures Cathartie.

No medicine is needed to keep the bow
ell in order as long as natures carthartic,
the bile, flows freely and regularly from it's
source in the liver, and is OF the right
strength and quality. But the great hillary
gland is easily disordered, and the con-
sequences of its irregularities are serions.
10 bring it back to its natural condition
when thus affected Hostetters Stomach
Bitters should be taken at least twice a
day until the desired object is attained.
Con stipa ton is due to a scant supply of
bile, or to lack Of the stimulating element
in that fuid. In either case mere purga-
ton is useless. The liver must be compell-
ed to yield the supply of bile necessary to
remove the waste matter fiom The system
at least once in twenty-four hours before
radical cure OF costivene5s can be accom-
plished. Hostetters Btters produces this
effect. Its action upon the stomach and
liver is direct and salutary, and through
these organs it regulates and invigorates
the whole frame.

Imp Ortant Railroad Suit.

The most notable case that has yet &C.
Gu rred in the state under the new railroad
law was tried ia this city last Friday and
Satur day before Justice C. F. Krebs In
previous issue we briefly alluded to this
case, the facts of which seem 10 be about as
follows: On the 18th Of May, one C. W.
Reed, of Chicago, travelling agent, wish
ing to 60 from this city to Madison tried to
buy ticket at the Office of the Milwaukee
St. Paul Company at three cents mile,
but ticket was refused him for less than
the companys rate of cents mile Mr..
Reed, however, stepped on to the train and
rode ever to the Junction, informing the
conductor, MIR. Henry Fitzgerald, that he
was willing to pay the legal fare, and
claimed to have rendered the money to
Fitzgerald. The conductor tod him that
| under no circumstances could he ride with
out first buying ticket. The coach Reed
was in did not 60 any further and he had
to get off Ia his attempt to get on board
the train, which was then starting for
Madison he was forbidden to enter the car
without first showing his ticket and in his
efforts to obtain admission he was resisted
by the employees of the train. A general
confusion ensued resulting in the passeng er
being left behind. Mr. Reed in behalf of
the State brought suit of damages against
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul Company. A
Jury was summoned on the case aad The
contest opened with Mr.. Y. w. Seeley, as
counsel for Reed, Mr.. Daniel Hall and Mr..
E. G. Chaplin, of Columbus: appearin, for
the Milwaukee & St. Paul Com pany !
The jury empaneled on the case was
composed of the follow of our citizens:
]. N. Bartlett,
j. Terbrueggen,
NJ. Power,
G. Hawkins,
S. E. Randall,
ID. Straw.
A fairer or more impair tial jury could not
be found, and to start with it could be
said of them that they were not unfriendly
| to railroads. Both sides labored with abil.
ity and judgment in prosecuting the case,
and each point was sharply contested. The
jury returned verdict of guilty and the
sentence was fine of 5000 and costs the
full extent of the law. The decision rem
dered was received with satisfaction by the
| greet majority Of our citizens, and another
rebuke has been given the railroads in the
blind policy they are pursuing of placing al
