Gas Matters.

July lst the gas will be shut off from the
streets the Gas Company claiming that
they cannot afford TO furnish gas to the
city and light the street lamps at $500 per
thousand feet-the SUM the Board of Street
Commissioners have decided to pay. The
Company consider their offer of furnishing
gas for $3.50 per thousand, including the
expense of lighting, the street lamps as low
as it can be afforded and unless these
terms are acceded to they are determined to
no longer furnish gas to light the streets.
This determination, however, will not eff
lect private consumers as has been reported.
and they will will continue to be supplied
as heretofore. For the good name of our
city we trust some compromise can be
effected betWe cen the Company and the
Board whereby our streets will continue 10
be lighted, and the public not put to the
Inconvenience Of travelling the streets in
darkness.

Like the grasshoppers, potato bugs, and
cthe: pests with which the farmers have to
contend, they 60 in droves. This band
of parasites drive up to a farm house,
and the farmer is approached by the oily
toneued leader rs to whether he wishes to
improve his orchard by grating, showing
him at the same time specimens of fruit
which can be raised from his gratis. As
the CRAFTS are only eight cents apiece the
farmer thinks that he will take a few this
year--a dozen or so-just to see what they
amount to, and signs a contract to that
effect All right; and now if the farmer
will show the men what trees be will have
grated, they shall be put to work The
trees are marked out and the men go at
them. The agent is reminded about this
time that he has not shown the farmer
some of his best specimens Of fruit which are
in his wagon, and the innocent farmer,
desiring all the information possible, repairs
with the agent to where the wagon is
standing, probably some rods distant from
the orchard. Fatal step! for here the agent
detains the farmer, through one device or
another, as long as possible And in most
cases long enough for bis men who are
lively workers, as all men are who work
on shares, to put in two or three hundred
gratis. The agrculturist is of course indig-
nant. when lie finds that twenty or twenty
five dollars worth of gratis have been in
serted while be was debating with the
agent whether or 40 it damaged potatoes to
shake them from the trees but there is no
help for the matter. He is shown the con-
tract in black AID white, where he agreed
to pay at the rate of eight cents per graft,
and told that if be is good for any order he
is good for this. The farmer generally sees
the point and pays the bill.
This community has recently been visited
with these ''grafters," and a number of their
disconsolate victims may be found ia this
county, who got quite as many gratis as
they wanted, also gentle reminders that it
is not best to sign every paper that is pre-
scented by Tom, Dick and Harry

Regular Secretion Essential to Health

The regular secretion and flow of the
gastric juices and of the bile, which the use
of Hostetter's Stomach Btters promotes, are
effects which conduce materially 10 the res
toratlon of health, when the system is dis
ordered. Food is not digested in the dys-
peptic stomach because the gastric fluid is
deficient, superintendent or vtiated; the
liver becomes congested and the bowels
constipated because the supply of bile Is in
adequate or misdirected. The Bitters rec
THY all this and removes every ill-conse-
quence of non-assimilation and bilious
rregularity. furthermore, it stimulates
the action Of the kidneys, by which impur-
tiles are so to speak, strained from the
blood, and any tendency in the urinary
organs to grow sluggish and disordered
counteracted Whether it be used as a
means of regulating gastric or bilious secre-
ton, and relieving the overloaded bowels,
or to promote complete and, therefore,
healthful urnation, Hostetter's Bitters may
be relied upon with confidence to accom-
plish the end in view.

A Terrible Accident.
From the Fit. Atkinson Union.

AoiA VIZ II. AtkluSOu OUlOu.
A terrible and distressing accident oc-
CURED in this village Friday last, whereby
Frank Pratt bright boy of 10 years, son
of G. A. Pratt, depot agent of this village,
was shot in the head, and now lies in dy-
ing condition. The circumstances are as
follows: Frank, in company with Irving
Downing, one of his favorite playmates, had
gone to his home while the family were all
absent from the house. While there dis
cussion arose between them concerning the
meaning of some word Frank, who was
one OF the brightest scholars of his age in
the village, proposed that they 60 up stairs
and consclt the dictionary. Finding the
book he sat down in quest of the word at
this point Irving drew out small drawer
IN bureau standing rear, and, finding
small single barreled pistol, took it out
and thoughtiessly commenced handling it.
Not knowing it was loaded he raised the
lock, which slipped from his Impractical
fingers and fell, dischargng the weapon,
sending ball crashing into the brain of
poor little Frank, who fell heavily to the
floor. Mortified at the result, Irving picked
up the inanimate form lying before him,
carried 1t down stairs, wetting his handker-
chief laid it on Franks head, and ran 10 the
station and informed Mr.. Pratt what had
transpired. Medical aid was Immediately
summoned, and a thorough examination
was held by Drs Bicknel, Stone and Wins
low. 1t was found tina. the ball had en-.
tered the forehead over the right eye, and
gone clear through the brain in downward
direction, lodging in the back part of the
head All efforts to find the ball have
proved unavailing up to the present writing
DR.. Cody, of WATERFOWL, was also sum-
moned, and gave as his opinion that there
was not one chance in ten thousand for
Frank to live. At the time of the accident
Mrs Pratt was absent in Elgin, ILL., She
was informed by telegraph, and special
train placed at her disposal by the North
western r. r. CO., arriving the next day at
i A. NJ. Since the hour OF the accident
Frank has lain in comatose state, but still
battling for life with a vitality that is won
derful TO behold, inspiring at times flick
ering hope that he may recover The ac-
cident has thrown pail of gloom over the
entire village. Frank was boy Of intelli-
gence, and by rare grace Of manner had
won hosts of friends, who now sorrow over
the untiMely blow that has stricken his
bright young life. Everything that the
most ardent affection can prompt is being
doae, and "sIowly the watchers wait"
hoping for the best.

very strict construction upon the fifteenth
section of the act of July II, 1876, which
provides that transient newspapers and ma

primarily for advertising purposes, or for free
circulation, or for circulation at nominal
rates, shall be classed as third class matter,

Favorable reports continue to be received

promise well. Rye is good, and the few
