DYSPEPSIA. DYSPEPSIA.

Dyspepsia Is the most perplexlng OF all human all
ments. It's symptoms almost INFINITE In their va
rety, and the forlon and Respondent victims OF the
disease often fancy themselves the prey In turn, OF
every known malady. This is due In part TO the
close sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the BRAIN and in part also TO the fact that any
disturbance OF the.digestiye functions necessarily
disorders the liver the bowels and the nervous sys
tem and affects, 10 extent, the quality OF the

An ingenious swindler made his appearance
on the street, last Wednesday, and succeeded in
quilting number of creduous persons who
doubtless thought they could see chance to
make money rapidly. This fellow proiessed to
sell iewelry at merely nominal prices and began
operations by returning to purchasers not only
their money but more than they invested.
When an eager bidder handed up 50 he re-
ceived an article OF !iewelry and SO in money.
OF course bidders became plenty, hut only a
very few got their money back, When the
man had accumulated quite number of five
dollar bills, he put them in his pocket, and
drove away lie shortly afterward made his
appearance in front of the Central Hotel but
none of his victims had anything to say to him
We have frequently heard of this chap and
have wondered that he has not come to grief.
Those who lose their money are generally un'
willing to make their losses public.

A correspondent of the New York Hcroid
gives the following hints upon keeping cool
"Open your windows between and O'Clock
in the morning for ventilation, and then close
them, as also the blinds and keep them closed
all day. A house should be regulated like n
refrigerator which, if the doors are kept tight
iy Shut will retain its coldness, but if it is
thrown open will soon have the same tempera-
ture as the air without" Good philosophy and
worth a trial

The horse driven by Joseph p. Conner, at
the tine of the accident which resulted in his
death, was seized with a mad fit, few days ago,
and after running about frantically and partly
demolishing shed, finally rushed into the tan
yard and fell into a vat. 1t seems quite prob
able that the animal may have had such fit
while Mr.. Conner was driving, and in its mad
phreRy plunged headlong down the bank into
the canal. This would seem to account for the
mystery which has hung over the death of Mr..
Conner, for he was known as a good driver and
a vigorous and quick witted man. A very good
plan indeed would be to shoot that horse before
another opportunity offers for further destruc-
ton of property or loss of life.

Seven additional Coal and Iron policemen ar
rived in town on Wednesday aud proceeded at

five additional men patrolled the streets at night
and will continue to do SO until after to night.

to the floor and when found by her daughter,
was the cause Of death. Her husband and sew

reavement. The funeral took place on Monday
afternoon and the remains were followed to the
grave by a sorrowing concourse of friends and
relatives. Mrs. Bedleman lacked few days
of being fifty four years of age.

Few persons understand fully the reason why
wet clothing exerts such chilling influence.
1t ID simply this; Water, when it evaporates,
carries oil an immense amount of heat, in what
Is called the latent form. One pound in vapor
contains as much heat us nine or ten pounds of
liquid water and all this heat must, of course
be taken from the body. -four clothes are
moistened with three pounds of water, that is
ifby wetting they are three pounds heavier,
these three pounds will, in drying, carry off as
,nuch heat as would raise three gallons of ice
cold water 10 the boiling point. No wonder
that damp clothes chill as,

The sorrowful duty devolves upon rs, this
week, OF announcing the sudden death of Isaiah
b. Mendenhall, young man Of high character
and excellent Abilities a son of Elias Menden-
hall the we'll known merchant of this town.
The young man was last week at his fathers
mills in Jackson township, attending to busi-
ness matters, and on Thursday morning went
into the woods for recreation. He did not re-
turn to dinner, but this excited no suspicion ;
his continued absence, however, finally gave
rise to alarm and search was instituted and
kept up during the night. At about ten o'clock
on Friday morning his lifeless body was found
lying in cart path, the spot having several
times been passed in the darkness by the eager
se.rchers. A card affixed to tree and per-
been shooting at a mark and while so engaged
he in some inexplicable manner, accidentally
shot himself His death must have been in
slantaneous as there were no evidences of a
struggle and the body lay as il in repose upon
the turf An inquest was held and verdict
of accidental death" rendered. The body was
brought to town on Friday night. On Sunday
| the funeral services were held in st. Paul's
church, and the old choir, of which the de-
ceased was formerly member, sang by special
request. The church was filled to its utmos
capacity by the numerous relatives and still
more numerous friends of him whose career haC
closed so early and so sadly. Never, perhaps
| in this town have the solemn words of Scrip
ture "In the midst of life we are in DEATH" CONT
home with more force and perinence than il
those touching burial services. The body wa
laid for its long rest in Rosemont Cemetery
where the winds Of summer will murmur a re
QUEEN among the leaves, and the flowers vii
nod their perlumed heads in sorrow for tn
loved one now, alas, oblyious of their sweet
ness.
Mr.. Mendenhall was but twenty six years Q
age,-in the flower of youth-and his passinl
away will leave void not easy to fill in tn
hearts of his loving family. To them Tim
alone can bring consolation, and relief from tn
bitterness Of grief

THE New JAIL.-Upon the recommendation
of successive grand juries the Commissioners
determined to build new Jail Excursions
were made to other counties to examine their
prisons. Plans were asked for, numbers pro-
duced and after lengthy and iearRsd examna-
ton, the poorest was accepted, because the au-
thor was ain the Ring" In hot haste and to the
surprise of everybody new location was pur-
chased, and the highest bid accepted. Since
the Courts injunction, however, the Commits
sioners seem determined to do nothing. Like a
lot of sulky boys, ifthey cannot carry out their
schemes in their own way, they seem deter
mined that nothing at all shall be done, forget
ting that they the servants OF the people, and
not their m listers. But if new Jail is not to be
built, why is Jail tax being collected? The
ordinary tax is enough for ordinary purposes,
and it is not advisable to have a large surplus
in the Treasurer's hands which could be used
for speculative purposes by interested persons,
Stop the tax or build proper Jail on the present
ground.
