Bile to do an hours work at time. Had SO
we're soreness and pain under the shoulder
blades and through the shoulders, with very
lame back, and feeling in my right lung as
though there was n weight bearing it down,
with continued droppings III the throat and
down upon the lungs. Such was my condi-
ton when began to take your Catarrh Rem
edy, one bottle Of which eascd my pains and
gave me an improved appetite, and after TAX.
ing four bottles was restored to health, so
as to be able to endure hard and continued Ia

SlUP THAT COUGH.

The way to cure a cough is to stol
it. The lungs and throat can never
heal as long as they are irritated by q
constant cough. DR.. Feuner's I'M
proved Cough Honey will relieve any
cough in one hour or less. 1t will
break up cold in the head before any
cough has formed in two to three
hours. Prevention is better than
cure! In chronic coughs the system
must be placed under the healing in
huence of DR.. Fenner's Blood and
Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic also.
This places the system in healing
condition, and under the two remedies
the lungs and throat rapidly heal.

The foreign insurance companies,
having been finally defeated in their
attempt to resist the payment of the
tax upon gross premiums imposed by
the law of Pennsylvania, are now pay
ing into the treasury the amounts for
which they have been in default since
the year 1874, amounting, including
the tax for 1876, to about 500, 900.
Up to this time about $175,G0 has
been received. As the companies,
some twenty-five in number, who
made the case of the Gcrmania COM
pany in New York test case, gave
security for payment, in the event of
an adverse decision by the supreme
court, it is certain the whole S4O0, 900
should in time be paid over.-Hoyyis-

The STAY Law Unconstitutional,


Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, April 10.
An Important decision with regard
to the stay law passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature has been made
by Judge NJ Dcrmitt, of Mercer crcounty,
which practically nullifies some Of its
most essential and most objectionable
features. Judge M'Dermitt declares
that this law so far Us it gives q stay of
execution on contracts which waive
such stay, is clearly, plainly and pal
pably in violation of theprovisions of
the constitutions of the United States
and of the state of Pennsylvania,
which prohibit the passage of &C pos!
,fucto laws and laws impairing the OBJ
legations of contracts. It's meaning
on some points is not by any means
clear, and its authors appear to have
Intentionally made muddlc of it,
but if it means anything it means
that a stay of execution may be had
in cases where it has been solemnly
covenanted that there shall be no
such stay. AS the learned judge
pointedly remarked, "To say that Il
contract which valves n stay of exc
cution is not impaired by law which
gives stay is to talk language which
is uninteligible.n 1t is said that an
appeal will he had from Judge NJ
Dermitt's court to the supreme court,
and we hope such an appeal will be
made and decision pressed for with
as little delay as possible. It is mat
ter of great consequence that the
supreme court should pass at an early
day, and when that count does pass
upon it we have no doubt whatever
that the decision Of the lever court
will be confirmed. The passage Of
the bill was disgracelul, and every
man in the senate and house who
voted for it, as well as the governor,
who in the face of the protests which
were made put his signature to it, is
deserving of the severest ccnsure.
The following is the language, used
by Judge M'Dermitt:
"Trhe act, so far as it gives n stay of
execution on contractors waving il,
Is clearly, plainly, and palpably' Il
violation of the tenth section Of the
first article OF the constitution of the
United States, and the seventeenth
section of the first article of the con
stitution of this state. Under these
sections of said articles, the legisla-
ture is prohibited from passing an e.
past acto law impairing the Obliga-
tions OF q contract. We regard the
cases of Billmeyer VS.. Evans, 4th
Wright, 324, and Lewis VS.. Lewis,
18th Wright, 127, as directly in point.
In the first of these the court, inter
ala, says: so when these defend
ants stipulated for twelve months
credit, and agreed that there should
be no stay of execution beyond that
limit, can The legislature say there
shall be a stay beyond that limit
without impairing the obligation OF
the contract How could it be posi-
bic more directly TO impair a contract!
What is it but setting aside the con-
tract made by the parties, and substi-
tuting digerent one for it? To say
that a contract which valves a stay OF
execution is not impaired by law
which gives a stay is to talk language
which is uninteligible.'

We are informed by a gentleman
who was at Fairfield during the acct
dent ON the 4th, that Robinson, the man
killed, was struck by rocket in the
forehead, and one in his neck, under
the chin, and that they penetrated the
same o. an ounce bullet would have
done. Mr.. Strong was shot in the
breast and can hardly recover; and
Mrs. Shaffer was dangerously wound
ed but possibly may recover. John
Shirk was badly burned and Charley
Shaw received . severe scalp wound
Many others were burned and hurt,
but not dangerously. In the general
melee several teams ran away and
smashed things up generally.

Important Revenue Case.

AT recent session of the u. 5.
District Court Judge Love decided
"that when firm doing a liquor,
cigar or tobacco business, is changed
by the dropping of one or more men,
bers of the company new special
tax stamp is not needed"
The case was taken to the u. S.
Circuit Court before Judge Dillon,
who confirmed Judge Loves decis-
ion. In the meanwhile the Internal
Revenue Department has issued a
circular to revenue collectors in
structing them to pay no attention to
this decision and has appealed the
case to the U. S. Supreme Court
1t is understood that it will come up
in that court in November and then
this vexed question will be finally
and forever settled. In the mean.
time it will be well for taxpayers
to take no risks or it may cost them
more than they would be willing to
nav

and Can't. Evans read the Declaration

and Capt. Evans read the Declaration
of independence.
Capt. Hutchison's address was . very
creditable effort, not only to himself
but also to the day we celebrate. We
should like to give q synopsis, but
cannot at present find room. That
grand old song, the "Stsr Spangled
Banner" by q select choir under the
the direction Of Prof. Rheem, was
sung with spirit, and the hungry
crowd made break for their baskets
and soon after everybody was at work
disposing of the meal provided for
the occasion.
After dinner, the order of the day
seemed to be general enjoyment, and
games and sports of various kinds
were provided. The pole climbing
and sack racing was abandoned or
did not attract enough attention to be
noticed. The trap shooting by the
Ottumwa Club was quite feature Of
the sport. w. w. Douglas won the
goblet. He broke nine balls out of
ten. Several other members of the
club broke eight out Of ten, and 1t
was good shooting all round. Miss
Bette Bills won the gold bracelet in
q game of croquet.
The sham battle and target prac-
tice by the military companies waf
quite interesting.
Foot racing and other athletic
sports were INDUCED in until well
along towards evening, when the
people returned to the city and te
other sports advertised.
The band adjourned from the cele.
bration to the Base Ball grounds ani
soon large number of people hai
