Horrible.

horrible story comes to US as having oc-
Cured in the town of Concord recently,
which is almost too revolving to be told.
The particu lars of the affair as we hear
them are about as follows: The wife OF a
German farmer named F. Selmer was
about to be confined and the brute of a hus-
band, to save expense, refused to call ply
stefan, concluding to wait on his wife him
self during the trying period, and in the
attempt to. play the part of accoucheur be
wrenched the arm from the yet unborn
child. At this juncture, Selmer, taking the
arm with him, sought the services of ply
stefan, who was so drunk when called that
he could not come although he promised to
be soon on hand. Knowing his unfit
ness to attend to the matter alone he called
to see another Doctor who consented to &C
company him and assist in the case.
All this occurred in the morning,
but no physician made his appearance Dur
ing the day or night at the house of the
woman whose sufferings may be well i'm
agined. After period Of over "a hours
had elapsed, the physician who had agreed

was soon delivered Of her mangled child,
which OF course was dead, and the neglect.

british and cruel could not, Of course, be

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 serious.
To bring it back to its natural condition
when thus affected Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters should be taken at least twice a
day until the desired object is attained.
COnstipa ton is due to a scant supply of
bile, or to lack of the. stimulating element
in that fluid. In either case mere purga-
ton is useless. The yer must be compel-
ed to yield the supply of bile necessary to
remove the waste matter from the system
at least once in twenty-four hours before

these organs it regulates and invigorates

resisting the Marshal, who had an arrest
for an assault,sn battery That is the Sec

him $50, from which judgment Squres az

Our citizens were startled last Mon day
morning, about quarter to eight O. clock
by a noise resembling the report of cam
non at distance, followed by a Slight
rumbling sound. The shock, though not
observed by all, was quite sharp, and shook
many of the buildings. It is believed to
have been slight earthquake shock, OF a
meteor which strack the atmosphere and
burst near the earth. We have seen no &C.
count of it in other papers yet.-Journa!

Prairie and Black Weasel, of this city,
owned by Mr.. Patrick Kennedy. It WAS a
uottiag race, best two in three, mile heats
for SI0O wager. The first heat was won by
Black Weasel; time 3:07. In the second heat
Black Weasel injured himself in the start
nd was taken from the course, giving the
race 10 Black Prince. The accident caus-
ed consideIabl disappointment to the back
ers of Black Weasel as it did not seem i'm.
probable he would prove the victor if be
kept the track. We are glad to learn that
the injury to Black Weasel is not per-
manent one.
There was an interesting race for the
purse of SIS offered by the Associat ion

were Bay Charlie, owned by Fl. Jennings,

5Iconoclasn,.

Don Quixote took tilt at the wind
mills, but the editor of the Courier
Journal charges church steeplss. He
asks: Why mot abolish the church
here any part of a build
ing SO useless as steeple2 It can
neither be constructed nor kept in re-
pair without great danger to human
life, and it dosen't look we'll after the
best can be done for it has been done.
As If heaven itself were protesting
against the folly of this unsightly heap,
scarcely Thunderstorm passes over
the country which does not hurl it's
bolts against some church steeple.
During storm this summer in New
Jersey, q steeple was struck three times
in succession. The other day lightning
struck the steeple of a church in Ohio,
and nine women in the church were
prostrated, five of whom may never re-
cover. Why should we set up targets
for the lightning? Even if the road to
heaven really lies through the ,atmos-
phere, we have surer guides to it than
church spires. We would be gamers
by building our churches on modest
plans. The story Of the tower of Babel
is quite enough to show that heaven is
brought no nearer by building high in
tho niF.

The Salmon Catch.

Salmon fishing on the Lower Colum-
bia river, Oregon, has been unusually
successful this season. Tho best part
of the. eeason is from April to August; {;
this year the largest number of salmon
was taken in July. Tho thirteen can
ming establishments on the river did not
take less than an average of IL, 900 every
night in the month. During the season
about 100000 salmon were caught,
I ach averaging, when dressed, sixteen
pounds. About 100000 of these were
canned, the remainder salted and bnr-
relied. Every ono who has eaten salmon,
properly canned, knows that it is nice,
but probably few know the fact that
from tho time the salmon is caught un-
til, it is ready for market it passes
through twenty-seven hands the oan
in which the salmon was put employs
ten men in the process of making; the
case in which the cans are packed en-
ploys in tho manufacture five men, MAX
ing in all forty-two persons necessary in
q regular establishment to prepare a
can of salmon, from the catching the
fish until it is ready for shipment. 1t
is no unusual matter for one of the
large canneries to prepare for market
25, 600 one-pound cans in day.
