What the Billions Rec uire.

Since torpidity of the liver is the chief
cause of its disorder. it is evident that
what the bilious require is an alternative
stimulant which will arouse it to activity,
an effect that is followed by the disappear
ance of the various symptoms Indicative
of its arrangement, Hostetter Stomach
Bitters invariably achieve the primary
result mentioned, besides removing the
constipation, fatulence, heartburn, yell
lowness of the skin, and whites of the
eyes. pain in the right side and under the
right shoulder, nausea, vertigo, and sick
headache, to which bilious invalids are
peculiarly subject. AS remedy for
chronic indigestion, mental dependency
and nervousness the Bitters are equally
efhcacious, and as a renovant of lost vlgor,
a means of arresting premature decay. and
a source of relief from the iE6rmities to
which the gentler sex is peculiarly subject,
they may be thoroughly relied upon.

Special to the st, Louis Times.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 29.-The agony is
nearly over. The president has become fully
convinced of the frauds in Louisiana, and
declares that he will not sustain them.
Kellogg, Don Cameron, Pitkin and two
others waited on him to urge the recogni-
ton of Packard to-day. The president in
terrupted their representation of the case
angrily, and said: "Gentlemen,you waste
your time and annoy me. [ have been
misled and deceived until | have determ-
ined to take my own methods of ascer-
tanning the truth. | have ascertained
enough about the action of the returning
board to satisfy me that | can no longer
stake my reputation and the fortunes of
my administration in support of it. | am
perfectly satisfied in my own mind and
shall not lift a finger until all questions
have been settled by the tribunal AT
this the co1spirators made another attempt
to state their case and were again inter-
rupted by the president; this time almost
savagely: Gentlemen" he said. ''you
will please not pursue this subject-you
| waste your own time aud worse than waste
mine. " Whereupon the crestfallen con
! spirators withdrew and Louisiana may be
considered perfectly safe.
A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, dated Jany Goth, says:
Chandler called on Grant last night to
beseech him to recognize Chamberlain in
South Carolina as we'll as Kellogg in Lou
isiana He received cold comfort. Grants
first reply was: 1 am convinced that
Ham pton was elected by l19 majority
Said Zach: What are you gong to do
about it?' I don't know, replied the
president, thoughtfully; l can't conscien-
tiously recognize Chamberlain. and don t
want to recognize Hampton | guess |
will let things remain IN Statu quo "A while
longer, The president further iutimated
that in his opinion the Chamberlain legis-
iature had no quorum when it inaugurated
Chamber and chose a United States
senator, and consequently those acts were
null and void. Chamberlain sent word
here yesterday that he had not received
the support he expected from Washington
yet, but hoped to in day or two, as he
was out of money and would soon run
ashore if he did"

Lively Scene i'm a Nevada Theater.

At the theater last evening, in order to
give general eclat to the scene in which
Buffalo Bill scalps Yellow Hand, it was
determined to enact it on horseback.
Accordingly in the afternoon two very
gentle horses were brought Oh to the
stage from MONEYS livery stable and
trained to familiarize themselves with
the explosion of firearms. In an hour
they became 80 accustomed to it that
pistol shots could be fred in rapid sue
cession under their very noses without
giving them the slightest concern.
When the curtain rose for the grand
equestrian scene, Buffalo Bill, mounted
on snow-white charger, galloped across
the stage. A moment later Captain
Jack Gas Yellow Hand) trotted out from
the wings, and then the trouble was be-
gun. Bill raised his Henry rifle and
began firing, while Jack pulled his re-
volver, firing one shot in doing so. He
fell heavily on the stage, with his foot
clinging for moment to the stirrup.
The horse, relieved of it's rider, rushed
about wildly, confused by the sudden
fall and continued firing, and at one
time ran toward the footlights and
seemed about to jump into the auditori-
ull. OdpU. Jack rose 10 Ills 1eet anu
limped Off the stage, but moment af-
ter made his appearance again in
hand-to-hand encounter with Buffalo
Bill. He stood upon one leg with blood
streaming down the other, and seemed
to be in great pain, oil of which was con-
sidered by most of the audience to be
only part of the performance. At the
sight OF the blood, Miss Granville, who
was in the box on the right, tainted.
The curtain fell abruptly, and all the
actors rushed on the stage to see what
was the matter. They found Jack
hardly able to rise and bleeding from
the groin. He was taken to the Dress
ing-roOm, and physicians were immedi-
ately summoned. When his leggings
were removed, an ugly wound was found
in the left groin, from which the blood
was flowing so copiously that the physi-
clans were apprehensive that an artery
was severed. The wound was caused by
the premature explosion OF jacks re-
volver, the weapon having been dis
charged as he was pulling it from the
SHEATH Virginia city Chronicle.

A Fight for Millions Ended.

On yesterday expired the time for the
defendants in the Gaines suits to file
their bonds of appeal from the judg-
ments rendered against them by Judge
Billings, and, as no bonds have been filed,
the struggle of over forty years, 80 hero
ically made by this remarkable woman,
may be said to have ended. In truth,
the abandonment of the appeals by her
opponents is an admission of the hope
lessness of reversing the decision recog-
nizing the execution and validity of the
will of Daniel Clark in 1913, declaring
Myra to be his legitimate child and sole
heiress, and, as such, entitled to the
large amount of property held by the
defendants.
Believing that, in the happiness of her
final victory, the generous elements of
her character will lessen the misfortune
of those who suffer by her success, we
congratulate Mrs. Gaines on at last reach
ing the goal of her life's struggle.
Wonderful, indeed, must be her feel
ings this Sabbath morning, as she enjoys,
