was mortified to see him visit p closet af-
ter each meal and quietly take drink
from a suspicious looking bottle. His
duty compelled him to demonstrate with
the good man on this deplorable practice,
but his modification was increased when
he was shown that it was a bottle of Dr.
A. 0. Simmons Liver Medicine that was
used, and he was assured that TO that ex-
celIent remedy the people were largely
indebted for sermons free from dyspeptic
symptoms, with which they had been
afflicted until he was cured by this relia-

Senator Beck last week presented 10
the Senate the resolution of the Ken

where they reside ard notifying the
State Department of the departure Of

THE war with Mexican was preem-
