CHICAGO, May S.-The distilers and
rectifyers of this city held meeting last
night and resolved to send protest to the
Washington authorities against the system
of liberal gauging, which enable Cincinnati
distillers to sell highwiBes at a lower
figure than they can be sold by Chicago
distillers, although the latter buy grain
cheaper. The result of that system Of
gauging is that the highwine market of
Chicago Is entirely nominal. The protest,
which is in the nature OF memorial, sets
forth these facts and makes other charges
against the Cincinnati firm in behalf of all
distileries in the Northwest. The protest
goes to Washington to-day.

spring is trying season. Indications of sickness
should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases may
be caused by allowing the bowels TO become con-
stipated and the system to remain in disordered
condition, until the disorder has time to develope
Itself. An ounce of prevention is worth pound of
cure is an old truthful saying. Therefore, we ad-
wise all who are troubled with the complaints now
very prevalent-headache, indigestion, disordered
liver, want Of appetite, nausea or feverlsh skin
to take, without delay, shenck's Mandrake Pills.
We know OF no remedy so harmless and decisive

disease and produces healthy tone to he system
People never need suffer from any disease arising
from disordered condition of the liver If they would
take this excellent medicine when they feel the
first indications of the malady. Families leaving
home for the summer months should take three o.
four boxes ofsthe pills with them. They have al
almost instantaneous effect. They will relieve thu

rapidly cleanse the liver OF surrounding bile, ant
will effectually prevent bilious attack. They ar

The Live Merchants, Mechanics and Professional Men Of
 RuSSeIlyille.

As space will admit of it we intend to notice through our columns the live, public-spirited firms of Russellville who keep their business before the peo- pie of the country by advertising it in this journal. We shall give his as a matter of justice to them and matter of profit to our Ieadecs. It is due the advertisers because in patronizing the DEMOCRAT they net only exhibit that shrewd business tact which is necessa- " to make successful business man, but they also show degree of enter prise and public spirit which tells that they are interested in building up the country and in sustaining good paper for the edification of the masses, and that they do not wish to take every dollar they can get hold of and sink it down in their coffers without spending some of it for good purposes among those from whom they receive pat ronage.
 It is due our patrons--the masses that they may know who are the liber- al men. It has been fully demonstrate cd that the liberal advertiser is always more liberal in all his dealings and transactions than him who is too hide bound to spend dolla-. with his home paper.
 We would like to include every busi- ness man in Russellville in our list which will commence next week and be continued as we have space. We therefore soliclt all merchants, mechan- ics and professional men who at present have not got their business represented in our columns to hand in their adver- tisements between now and Monday so that we will be able to make a big showing for our town. And by the way it strikes us rather forcibly that Atkins and Dover has business men who ought to have their advertisements m the DEMOCRAT. Both towns have business nfen who are prospering and they ought to show their appreciation of the public patronage they are reeeiv- Ming by spending a few dollars with the spaper of the peeple-the DEMOCRAT. We hope to hear from them.
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-03-07

-The Bentonville Advance assures us that Il means just what 1t says and says just what it means in regard to the Northwest democracy getting dne recognition in the makeup cf the next Stare Ticket. We have no doubt about the Advance standing it's ground on this question, md we trust the demo- crats of Washington and Benton coin- ties will imbibe enough of Col. Donan's spirit and pluck to do better than their delegates to the last State convention did, for we consider that they made the easiest and tamest equalization on thas occasion that any set,of raen were ever guilty Of.
 AN INvIrATIoN.--A cordial invita- ton is hereby extended to all immi- grants, newcomers, and visitors to our town and county to call at the DEMO- GRAF office. We will be pleased to make the acquaintance of all, and it will afford us pleasure to furnish any and all information to newcomers which may be in our power to impart. Those of our citizens who have friends arriving here from other States. will confer favor by letting us have their names. the locality where from and the locality where they settled, -and by bringing their friends around and in troducing them.
 --THASKsl THANKs!! THANKS !-- Our heart is yelling up, chuck full, and flowing over with thanks and gratitude to our brethren of the press for many flattering notices, connecting our name with the high and honorable place of Representative from this coun- ty. To say that it does not give rise to emotions of pride to have all these good opinions from our brethren would be to acknowledge that we are devoid of a proper sense of appreciation, and desti- 1 rute of gratitude, the noblest attribute of the human heart. We are not an aspirant, but nevertheless, we are proud of, and do appreciate highly the handsome notices which our brethren have honored us with, and we trust no act of ours shall ever cause one of our I brothers-in-ink to regret or blush at having said good word in our behalf
 BEWARE OF SwINDLEs. Es.-Humbugs of all kinds are flooding the country and we caution our readers against biting at them. Cheap jewelry swim dies, bogus lottery cheats, oil painting cheats and many other devices are being used to humbug people out of their money. The latest dodge is the Oil Painting Distribution by the Ma tional Art Co.,, of Cincinnati. In this dodge you are informed that you have been awarded fine Original Oil Paint ing and that by forwarding $2.10 you
 will get the painting worth many times that sum. Keep your money out of all such investments, and if you wish to make a wise, profitable investment, one which will do you some good, send us l.50 and get the DEMOCRAT for a bwhole year and keep posted. You will Ithus save many dollars ill the course of a year.
