that Mr.. Ferguson, the nominee OF the demo-
cratic convention for the legislature from tn,
western district of the county, has announced
his purpose of declining to become . candidate
and that the executive committee has declined
to take any action in the matter, would it not be
well for the townships comprising the district to
act at once in the matter? The bitter feeling
which has been caused in part by the action Of
the convention, on account of which those
gentlemen heretofore spoken of in connection
with that Ollie, have become unacceptable, may
render 1t necessary to make other selections
That being the case, would 1t not be wise and
prudent to make choice OF some one who has no
been complicated in the unfortunate differences
which have arisen between the different sections
of the party? To that end, and as u man wht
would be acceptable to the whole people, VT
would beg to mention the name of Mr.. T. Bentor
Taylor. Although Mr.. Taylor has not resided
very long in the county, yet he is very general,
and favorably known to the people. He Is

ROBBERS CAPTURED.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Sept: 2l:-The Pioneer
the capture OF four OF the Mortified bank rob-
bers. The four captured are those lost track of
in the timber around MankstO. Two Of whom
are supposed to be the
YOUNGER BROTHERS.
The dispatch says that four missing robbers
went to a house at ! O'Clock seven miles north OF
here. W here they bought some bread and butter,
then started west on foot. The news was, sent
in rs fist as u horse could travel. Forty or fifty
men were after them as soon as they could secure
horses and arms. They drove them about eighty
miles north of here. They then had them out on
the prairie, and
OPENED FIRE.
Soon after this the robbers returned the fire
but kept working toward the river and at last
got there and hid in the bush. BY this time our
men were all together and surrounded the bush
the robbers We're in. The firing thea became
general, our men advanced all the time. At last
the robbers saw there was no use and gave UP.
One was killed and the other three wounded.
One that IS supposed to be Cole Younger is badly
wounded in the hand and back. 1t is thought
one, and perhaps two. will die of their wounds.
bers who were chased into Dakota, were over
taken by a citizens'posse six miles above Yank-
ton, to-day. The robbers when sighted, turned
and fired, wounding one OF the pursuers' horses
They then took to the woods and were again
lost sight OF. The hunt is being continued and
it Is thought will certainly end in running the
band down.
Later-One of the wounded robbers has con-
fessed to the sheriff having them in charge, thai
they are the Younger brothers, but refuses tc
give the name Of their dead cOmrade.

CAUTION AGAINST INVITATIONS.

The proprietors of Bcnson's Capcine Porous
Plasters have found it necessary to warn the
public against bogus articles that are offered
them, under the name of ''CHpsicin' OF Cap
steam, - as being the same us Capcine, the facts
are that they are totally unlike the genuine In
their effect or composition, and such limitations
are calculated to injurc the excellent remedial
qualities of BensOn's Capcine Porous Plasters.
The unparalleled success of this famous and
vigorous medicinal combination has stimulated
INSCRIPTIONS individuals to issue articles under
the above similar sounding words. 10 further
protect the consumer. We have cut the word
''Capcine'' in each Plaster. Their powerful
vegetable pr opcrties afford instant relief, and
insure Il quicker cure than any known medicine.

HOW TO vAHQUlsH THE sT0MACH's T0RMEH-
TOR,

If the Enemy Of mankind was permitted to
exert his diabolical ingenuity in the invention
of a new disease. he could scarcely devise one
more worthy Of his genius than dyspepsia. The
dyspeptic sufferer is tOrmented by symptoms re-
sembling those of almost every known malady.
and is often worried into monomania by thes G
conflicting and perpleNing manifestations. A
favorite though absurd hallucination of the vic
tim of chronic indigestion is that he or she has
heart disease. Dyspepsia has often been pro-
nounced incurable, but experience has shown
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will vanquisi
it, together with the constipation and bilious de
rangemcnt which usually accompany it. Dis
eases of the kidneys and supposed rheumatic
pains are also frequent of dyspep-
STA, but they, too. succumb to the above named
invaluable corrective. sept2-lm
