A travelling Advertisement.

Glencoe Register.
AS the train was about leaving
Jordan on the down trip it was
boarded by a very corpulent Dutch
man, clad in a suit of clean white
linen, the coat which made up III
width what it lacked in length, being
discontinued few inches below the
waist. The ponderous Teuton passed
into the express car, and looking for
a seat, espied one of those patent re-
ceptacles for bottled lager, upon
the upper side of which was fresh
lampblack inscription. Thinking
only of a comfortable resting place
for his bulky limbs, toward it he
moved and planted the extensive seat
Of his bicrural appendages square on
box. By-and- he wanted a drink
Of water, and walked to the rear Of
the passenger coach to get it. The
scene in that car can be better imag-
med than described when, as. the in
nocent Teuton passed back through
the aisle, the numerous passengers
caught sight Of the Inscription
stamped distinctly on the white linen
trousers, s'Best's Bottled Beer!' See
ing that he was the ''but" Of the
merriment and learning the cause,
he exclaimed excitedly, 'Mine Got
in Himmel und Henry P@hler! I

short time ago. Only one wagon
entered and made the trip from Fort
Howard to Oshkosh, a distance of 2O1
miles, which it accomplished in SO
hours and ~ seconds, or a little over
six miles an hour. The speed required
was 5 miles an hour, and It there
fore had some six hours and half to
spare. The telegraphic account says
the machine hauled throughout a
wagon weighing thirty five hundred
pounds. At Oshkosh it made a tour
of the lumber yards among sawdust
with ninety hundred ponds. The
weight of the machine alone is A.
300 pounds; with water and coal
for eight miles, sixty six hundred
pounds. It is a handsome affair,
neatly and simply made and appears
calculated to do any amount Of work.
The engineers report no breakages
on the trip, no runaways and not a
bridge blank disturbed. Most OF the
roadway has been hard travel, being
heavy sand and gravel. The fastest
time was between Johnson's Creek
and Fort Atkinson, fifty-seyen miles
in eleven hours and thirty minutes.
The machine was made in Oshkosh.

THE IMPENDING STRIKE.

A Wilkesbarre letter in the New
York Tribune gives the conversation
OF a gentleman engaged in manu-
featuring business in one Of the
northern counties Of Pennsylvania.
He says the chances are we shall
have much more serious trouble
within the next two months than
that which came uponu us so unex-
pectedly last summer. Preparations
are being made for simultaneous
strike all over the country, railroads
at the mines, in many Of the largest
smanufact curing Establishments, and
nothing but the utmost vigilance on
the part Of the State authorities and
such preparations as will make it
possible to crush out movement In
stantly, will prevent one Of the worst
calamities that has ever befallen this
country. The fifteenth Of June had
been actually fixed for the strike, and
the outbreak would certainly have
taken place then or soon after but
for preparations made by governor
Hartranft, when he called out the
militia and made arrangements to
obtain uniforms and equl pments for
them at Frankfort arsenal. s.a
Those who were to have arranged
the strike, called committee meet
ing IN Philadelphia and voted to
postpone the attack to the 18th Of
August when, it was hoped, the
country might be taken by surprise.
a Chicago representative OF the
strikers, on his way to New Z ork,
stopped over at Hornville and said to
his friends, they ought to take the
property Of the rich and they ought
to. specially break open the banks,
take all the money and divide,

The Minneapolis Tribune when
commenting upon the nomination
of Major Strait and the influence
exercised in Congress by that class
OF quiet men, says:
1t is the habit of many of the stump
haranguers and beardless disciples
of Blackstone to sheer at men like
Strait and the late, Col. Aldrich, of
this city, and to measure influence
by a capacity for blab. Such men
are innocent Of the slightest know
ledge of the influences which secures
votes and carry measures in Con,
gress. tits the man who is on good
terms with and button holes but not
bores, tiatters but not aggravates,
his fellow members, that is the sue
cessful and influential Member of
Congress. It is only the occasional
orator towering above his fellows as
Blanc above the surrounding Alps,
that Congressman do not have con.
tempt rather than an admiration
Tor. 1t Minnesota wants to empty
the chamber whenever one Of its
measures comes before the House,
let it send its average orators to
Congress, who fatter themselves
that they can carry measures Of To-
cal moment by making speeches up
on their merits! Acquaintance, good
fellowship, a faculty for securing
and reciprocating favors, are what
con GO st ~ Vt influence in Congress.
Mr.. Strait combines these in an I'M
usual degree, and will do more
TOR Minnesota in Congress with
whose members he is already &C.
quaanted, and the key to whose good
graees he is already possessed of,
than forty fresh and new men like
Henry P@hler could do.

The Singing NensatiOn


In the gullet called "heartburn," why,
it is impossible to conceive. since the
heart has nothing to do with IT, is
caused by the acetOus fermentation in the
stomach OF the food contained in it; by an
Overp)us Of the gastric juice, which is it,
sell a powerful acid, or by the unnatural.
ly acid quality OF that secretion. The
ordinary way OF treating this symptom,
for it is nothing else, is to administer BIZ
carbonate OF soda, an alkali, to neutral>
ize the acid. But sour stomach cannot
be cured by alkalis, which tend 10 weaken
the digestive apparatus. A far better
remedy is Hostetter's stomach Btters,
which strengthens the cellular mem.
brane, the seat of the difficulty, regulates
the flow of the gastric secretion. i'm.
proves the quality if yitiated, and puts
the stomach in good working order.
Perfect digestion follows as natural
sequence, and there is no more trouble
from heartburn or sour stomach. The
liver and bowels are also thoroughly
regulated by this sovereign Alternative.
