Tortures that Need not be Endured.

People suffer great deal of pain unnecessarily
Among fortunes that need not be endured are those
inflicted by the rheumatism and govt, since the acrid
element in the blood which produces them by contact
with the sensitive covering of the muscles and joints
may be eliminated by the of that matchless de-
purent Hosteters Stomach Biters, before the inam-
matory symptoms developed to any great extent.
When it is considered what exeruciatins fortunes
rheumatism infcts and what tendency it has, when
fully developed to attack the heart the advisabiity
of an early of such reliable antdote becomes at
once apparent. The rheumatic virus is expelled from
the blood by the increased action Of the kidneys
which act sraincrs-produced by the Bitters, and
the sufferer will find if he this supreme defensive
agent that he will be protected against return Of
the agonirng complaint Dyspepsia, fever and asue,
liver and bowel complaints and other maladies, are
also cured by this admirable remedy

A CoSsrrRAcY.-One morning last week, we saw
two imposing looking personagcs holding earnest
consultation the field piece that stands near the
north side of NixOn's saloon. person who made a
reconnaissance, says they were the Severance and
Iowa Point correspondents of the Troy Bulletin. who
couldn't stand any longer but had to come to Troy,
to take one more look at the editor of the Bulletin
and having esed the piece of ordnance aforesaid,
foul conspiracy possessed them They agreed to spirit
away the gun, some night, and take it to Highland.
They would select some night when the publisher Of
the Sentinel would be at work late, getting out his
paper They would load it to the muzzle with dead
cats old boots rotten cabbage, tin cans, rusty nails,
and missiles of all descriptions and as the publisher
of the Sentinel came of his Office to retire to his
virtuous couch they would let her flicker, and blow
him into humiliation. 1t is horrible plot; but re-
yenge is sweet.

.y Last Friday, old man and his wife, three
sons and daughter, from Ohio with their household
goods landed at Troy from the cars. The old lady
carried basket of duck eggs, Of choice breed, to
start the stock in Kansas. The old gentleman had
traded his farm in Ohio to wellknown late resident
of Wayne Township, for a farm in that Township.
On his arrival here he informed that the person
didn't own the farm he had traded to him, and that
in fact il was in such muss that it hard to tell
whether anybody owned it. The whole outfit at once
started back for Ohio in utter disgust There will be
music when they get there.

DESTRUcTIvE FIRE.
Elevator a.1 Dep.s burned

On last Saturday afternoon, the most destructive
fire that ever visited Troy occurred 1t commenced
about halfpast four o'clock, in the grain elevator of
Tracy Leland. The elevator was new, and had
been running but q short time n new engine having
been put in but day or two before The hands
were about quitting work for the week having just
car load Of corn in the hopper with car alongside
to be loaded. A number Of persons were about the
elevator, examining its workings Some who were
in the upper part discovered fame of fire in one of
the wooden spouts used for conveying the cha from
the grain. The water barrel was empty and the
boiler low, and there was hardly time to give the
alarm of fire before the whole upper part of the ele
vator was in flames. Citizens hastenel from all
parts Of town. but they at once saw that the eleva
tor a hopeless loss and that the best they could
do would he to other property. There was
strong wind from the east, and the structure
speedily burned down. the fire communicating to the
railroad depot, few rods to the west which
totally burned up even before the elevator. An
attempt made to save the large crib full of grain
adjoining the elevator, but it at found use
less, and attention was turned to the lumber yard
close by. The piles of lumber, lath, shingles, ETC.,
were quickly removed beyond the reach of the fire,
and the liberal Of water prevented the FIRE from
communicating to the lumber that lay nearest the
fire.
The following is list of the property destroyed:
The elevator the immense crib adjoining. the rail-
road depot, and grain car of the Chicago, Burling
ton and Quincy Railroad. A number of other
standing the side track, were moved out of the
way, and saved. There were in the hopper of the
elevator ear load of corn ready to deliver into the
car The elevator and machinery cost about Il 800
