Lew Cain Keeps a Hotel.

Everybody remembers L. D. Cain the
popular conductor, who was for some time
connected with the Rockford road aud
made his home in this city. 1t always
seemed as though he was cut out for a
landlord, and now we hear of him as pro-
prietor of the Waverley Hotel at Hot
Springs, Arkansas, the most fashionable
watering place the Baden Baden of Amer
lea. Here is what he has to say to his old
friends and acquaintances who may visit
that place for pleasure or health:
The hotel Is now in full operation and
open for the reception of visitors to the
springs. The house, situated as it is in
the most pleasant and healthy part of the
city and convenient to the baths, is very
desirable residence for families. The
rooms are capacious, newly furnished and
we'll ventilated. The dining hall is sup
piled from the best markets; the rates
being arranged to suit the times, will be
found very reasonable.

"rhe Organ" Bridled.

The workingmen have informed their
organ that it must not make any allusion
to Catholic priests endorsing its secret
league" and hence, jnits issue to morrow
it will not reiterate the SANDER upon the
priests The committee will not insist
that the organ shall take back its insin-
uation, but only that it shall not repeat it.
This action is based upon the fact that the
Catholic priests of the city alphabetically
condemn any and all secret political so
cieties. The organ" will be little care

religion with its political filth, This is the
first twist the committee has given on ''the

last occasion they will have to exercise

There is no better preparation in the
market than DR.. Felix Gouraud's Oriental
Cream, or Magical Beauti6er, This inval-
liable cosmetic is used extensively in New
York and the eastern eities-in fact all
over the country, and by ladies is regarded
as superior to all others. 1t will remove
tan. freckles, pimples and all skin blem-
ishes and gives to the complexion a rich
hue of health, q clear and transparent
skin. The establishment of Madame NJ
B. T. Gouraud, 10 New York city, is the
resort of the elite of that city. and so
popular has it become that no lady con-
siders her toilet perfect until after visit
to this temple of fashion. Nine Gourand
is lady of culture and thoroughly versed
IN the requirements of the fashionable
world and personally superintends the
details of the emporium.
The preparation is a truly meritorious
one and has stood the test of years, and
while other so-calIed "beautifers" have
been sprung on the market and as sud
denly retired, the Oriental Cream" has
maintained the supremacy which it attain
ed through merit. Everybody whas uses
cosmetics should not fail to try this model
preparation. and once used IT will become
a toilet necessity, without which the
habitue of fashion and its requirements
cannot be al fat For sale by the trade

The Laboratory of the System.

The stomach is the laboratory of the
system, constantly going on, These result
10 the production OF that wonderful vivlfy-
ing agent the blood. which in state of
health rushes laden with the elements
OF vitality to the remotest parts of the
system. but when the stomach is semi
paralyze by dyspepsia, blood manufac-
ture is carried Oh impertectly, the circula-
ton grows thin and sluggish, and the
system suffers in consequence. Moreover.
indigestion reacts upon the liver and
bowels. rendering the first sluggish and
the latter constipated. The brain also
suffers by sympathy, and sick headaches,
sleeplessness and nervous symptoms are
engendered. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
reforms this state Of things gives perma-
nent tone and regularity to- the stomach
and its associate organs, the bowels and
liver. and ensures complete nourishment
aud increased vigor of the system 1t is
the most popular as we'll as the most ct
hcient anti.dyspeptic and tonic IN
America.
