Sd District Candidates.

It is we'll understood that the nomina-
ton of Park N. Waterbury for member Of
Assembly in the Sd district of jefferson
county happened in this wise: Park saw
that it was forlorn hope to expect re-
nomination for Clerk of the Court, an Office
in which he had become a sort Of Caesar
having held the position for eight years,
but nevertheless was not at all delicate in
proposing to the cons ention L is nomination
for Sheriff. 1t was found, however, that
for the sheriff $ Office Joe Giles had got the
upper hand, and Park was compelled to
release his grip which was almost death
to him, holding office having become so
chronic with him. But Mr. Waterbury's
great disappointment was satiated by prom
ising him the nomination of sheriff two
years hence if he succeeded in carrying the
district for the Assembly against MIR. j
". Ostran0er, the Republican nominee
Mr.. Waterburys friends knew he stood no
chance of an election but his nomira ton
for the Assembly gratifed his ambition as
an inveterate Office seeker for the timenbeing,
and brought relief to his admirers who
otherwise would have continually heard
complaints loud and deep from Park for
his official dethronement.
Mr.. Ostrander, the opponent of Mr. Water
bury, is a man of sterling worth and in
tegrity, whose influence will BE- felt in the
legislative halls. All his interests are
identified with the village of Jefferson and
the district he VIII be called upon to repre-
sent Mr.. Ostrander is no mere political
adventurer bat an extensive and enterpris-
ing manufacturer, whose chief aim will be
to watch With carefulness the true business
interests of his locality. The people of the
third district will not be slow to dis
cover that their true interests lie in the
direction of Mr.. Ostrander's success, and we
believe they will work faithfully from now
until election TO attain this end. We look
for Mr.. Ostrander's success at the polls by a
much larger majority than LIE received tv
years ago.

Indigesti0n's Martyrs.

Half the diseases of the human family
spring from disordered stomach, and NAV
be prevented by invigorating and toning
that abused and neglected organ with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Let it be
borne in mind that the liver, the kidneys,
the intestines the muscles, the llgaments,
the bones, the nerves, the nteguments, are
all renewed and noursbed by the blood,
and that the digestive organs are the grand
alemblc in which the materials of the vital
mud are prepared When the stomach fails
TO provide healthtul nourishment for it's
dependencies they necessarily suffer, and
the ultimate result, if the evil is not arrest
ed, will be chronic and probably fatal dis
ease somewhere. 1t may be developed in
the kidneys in the form of diqbetis, in the
liver as congestion, in the muscles as rheum-
atism, In the nerves as paralysis in the in.
teguments as scrofula. Remember, how
ever, that each and all of these consequences
of indigestion may be prevented by the
timely and regular use of that sovereign
antidote to dyspepsia, Hostetters Bitters.

Professional Incomes OF New York
....- r.4. Lawyers. L.-.-..

AMONG those who reap q handsome
harvest out of the present panic the legal
fraternity stands pre-eminent. An i'm
mense increase of litigation has been its
inevitable result. Every merchant, bank
,er, or broker, who was in trouble, was
obliged to retain q lawyer, and in many
instances more than one. For instance,
the Grinnell bankruptcy case, when it
first appeared before Judge Blatchford,
brought sin well paid lawyers into court.
The fees required by these men on such
an occasion would not be less than $1l,-
600, and the cost of tho entire Grinnell
suit will probably equal five times that
sum. This may seem like large esti-
mate, but it is to be remembered that the
securities which this house held were
$12,000,O 600, and the amount at stake al
ways has bearing ON the legal charges.
Our best lawyers value their time at from
$4Oto $50 per hour, which is not an unrea-
sonable charge. BY consultation with
one Of these men you can In an hour OBJ
tain an opinion which IL worth fifty times
the amount of the fee. II, however, the
case be one where half million is at
stake, then instead of mere fifty You
will be expected to advance retaining
fee of $500, or perhaps 81 900. This pre-
vents any one from securing the services
of the lawyer thus retained. If . lawyer,
even after receiving such fee, should
win the case he will expect from $4,000
to $16, 900 additional Our great lawyers
demand pay commensurate with their
reputation, and hence some of them can
boast . practice worth 100000 per year.
