The State House Grounds.

There is no truth in the statement of
the Chicago Tribune that the governor haI
appointed a commission TO assess the value
of the additional ground required for the
state house. and that such commission
has assessed the value of the ground at
at 100000. A special dispatch from
Springfield says that the governor has moi
appointed any such commission, nor can
he at any time appoint it. The law pro
vides that if the signers Of the bond to con-
yey the ground required do not supply il
10 the state free OF cost, after four mouths
notice, the governor and twoother state
officers shall proceed to condemn it, and
the signers OF the bond shall be held liable
therefor; but the four months notice tC
the signers of the bond has not yet expired
and until the expiration of that time nc
proceedings 10 condemnation can be instr
tuted. Such are the provisions OF the law
aud the bond, in brief, and the editoria
statement 10 the Tribune is beyond ques-
ton fabricated in the Office of that paper
for the purpose of misrepresentation.

LIQUOR Suit.

Mrs. Elizabeth luminous has brought

damages for selling liquor to her husband,
James Timmons Chas. w. O'Neil APP

argued before the county court in the morn.
ing on demurrer-the attorneys for the de
Tense claiming that the suit for damages is
not brought against the parties specifying
any one particular case where the husband
has become intoxicated and the plaintiff
has been damaged, but charges that liquor
has been sold to Timmons while he was OF
numerous sprees. This, the defense
claims, cannot hold all the parties respon
lsible for Timmons' actions.

Accident and Runaway.

The horse attached to the delivery wag
on Of Rosenield's hide aud leather store,
while standing at the C.,R l. & P. freight
house, this forenoon, became frightened at
a locomotive aud started to run. The
driver Peter Soehl, was in the freight
house at the time, aud as he saw the horse
start he attempted to jump into the wagon.
To do so he was Obliged to step into May
Bros wagon, at the door, and just as he
did so the latter team started, he slipped,
fell beneath the wheels, and was run over.
He was badly bruised, but his injuries
are not considered serious. RosenieId $
wagon was.somewhat damaged.

Tax Levy for 1877.

State Auditor Needles, in reply to many
letters from many parts of the state ask
ing if the appropriation of $53l,7l2,s8 to
complete tho state house is included in the
tax levy for 1877, has written circular
letter, which shows that the general as
sembly authorized by act, approved May
25, 1877. the following levies for general
state purposes: On the assessment of
1877, $2,000.000; on assessment of 1873,
$l,500,000, making total of $3,500,000
The appropriations made by the Thirteenth
general assembly, payable out OF these
levies, aggregate S3,524033, excluding
the then contingent state-house appropri
alton. In conclusion the auditCr says: Il
would seem therefore, that the assembly
did not include any part Of of the state
house appropriation in the amounts
authorized to be levied.

The wisest of Precautions.

Of precautions, the wisest is that which
is taken against disease There is safety
in timely medication; great peril in delay.
One malady often begets others far more
dangerous. and it it does not, any abnor-
NAL condition has tendency, if unremedied,
to become chronic and. obstinate. Trifing
disorders of the stomach, liver, bowels or
urinary organs, may speedily develop into
| formidable maladies. Check them at the
outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which, although it is wonderfully effective
in overcoming disorders of long standing
