The value of this remedy must not be overlooked
SYMPATHETIC DISEASES,

Affections of the Eye, Ear, Throat, Lungs and
Bronchial Tubes which in many cases accompany
a severe case of Catarrh. The infamed and dis.
eased condition OF the mucous membrane Is the
cause of all these troubles; and until the system
has been brought properly under the influence of
the RADICAL CURE, perfect freedom from them
cannot be reasonably expected.
1t is but three years since SANFORD'S RADI-
CAL CURE was placed before the public, but in
that short time 1t has found its way from Maine to
California, and Is everywhere acknowledged by
druggists and physicians to be the most successful
preparation for the thorough treatment OF Catarrh
ever compounded. The fact will be deemed of
importance when 1t Is coupled with the state.
ment that within i've years over $50 different
remedies for CatarTh have been placed on sale, and
to-day, with one or two exceptions, their names
cannot be recalled by the best-informed druggist
Advertising may succeed in forcing few sales
but unless the remedy possess uRdoubted SPECIFIC
medical properties, It Is absolutely certain to fall
into merited obscurity.

Joseph Cornelison who lives in one end Of
Hon. +. l.. Shuman's building, corner Second
and Pine streets, saw bright light shining
through the front window of the clothing store
in the same building. Upon going to the window
and looking in she saw blaze of FIRE issuing
from spit-box filled with sawdust. She i'm
mediately informed Mr.. Shuman who exper-
fenced no truoble in putting out the fire as it was
confined exclusively to the box and contents
which were burned to ashes. The theory as to
the origin can be easily guessed-a cigar stump
had been thrown into the box before the fire had
left it. Great care should be exercised regard.
ing the prevention of fires. Had the window
curtain been put down when the store was clos

outside until the fire had obtained such headway
as to have destroyed that and many other build.

A MODEL FARM.-Among all the sights at
Wyoming on the Sd of July, few had as much
interest as the model farm of Frank Lee, Esq.
We have not the time and space to give spec
al description of its admirable arrangements,
but cannot refrain from aluding to his magnif-
icant stallion "Marplot" sired by Lexington"
and "lady Thorne" for dam. He was the ad-
miraton of all visitors. There were also some
imported Ayrshire cattle which cost $4,000 a
head, "a well as first class Alderneys. Among
the swine were some full blooded Berkshires,
The sire of which cost $1,000. The farm, the
buildings, the stock, and the general arrange
mens are in every way complete. Gov. Hart
ranft, Don Cameron, and other distinguished
visitors made thorough inspection of the
stock.

Temperance Orators who have been in the
habit of seeking to make converts by telling Of
the vastness of the liquor traffic Of this country
and the enormous army of drunkards buried
each year, while the ranks are being filled with
fresh recruits, have been furnished with some
fixed ammunition" by Hon. Edward Young,
Chief of the Bureau OF Statistics. They can
substitute fact for fancy now, and declare that
there were in this country, in 1877, one hundred
aud sixty-six thousand liquor dealers licensed
by the United Strtes Government. According
to the estimates of the Chief Of the Bureau of
Statistics, the amount of money annually ex-
pended for liquor in the United States by con.
sumers is six hundred millions of dollars, or
to be more exact, five hundred and ninety-siA
millions. This is the cost in dollars to the con
sumers only. No one has yet estimated what
it costs to the non. consumer who helps to build
and support the almshouse prisons and peni-
tentiaries, mainly used storehouses for the
fruits of the lquor traffic.

Settling the Indians.

A dispatch received at the army headqnar.
tiers from General Howard, dated at "The
head of Birch Creek, July g." says he found
the Indians in force on the sth, near IN q
head of Butler creek. He advanced two col
umns, one under General Throckmorton
consisting of two companies of artillery, one
of infantry and a few volunteers, and the
other under Colonel Bernard consisting of
seven companies of cavalry and twenty of
Robbins scouts, General Howard accompa-
nying the latter column. Bernard's scouts
notified him of the vicinity of the hostiles,
when the cavalry moved forward at a
trot over three foot hills over q mile in ss-
cent. The Indians were stronly posted on q
rocky crest. One company were left with
the pack train. The other deployed and ad-
vanced handsomely
The ascent is described as sleeper than
that of Missionary Ridge, but no man broke
ranks, though several saddles were emptied
and as many horses killed. The enemy was
driven from its position to another height
in the rear of the greater elevation, and
crowned with natural defense of lava beds.
In twenty minutes this position was also
stormed from different sides at once, and a
rapid pursuit commenced of the flying In.
dians. who abandoned their horses, provis-
ions, ammunition and camp material. The
hostiles made for thick timber crowning
Blue Ridge and made another stand, but
were again dislodged and pushed four OF
five miles further into the mountains. The
rough country and the great exhaustion of
the men and horses caused cessation o.
the pursuit for the day.
In this engagement five enliste d men wert
wounded aud about twenty horses killed. 1t
is impossible to state the loss of the enemy
Their women and children and best horses
were moved before the fight began, appa
rently in the direction of Grand Ronue, ant
the hostiles fled in that direction.

Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat, and es-
pecially if the weather is 'mnggy." 1t is more
apt to occur on the second, third or fourth day
of a heated term than on the first Loss Of
sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping is more
apt TO attack those working in the sun, and e,-
pecially between the hours Of IL O'Clock in the
morning and four o'clock in the afternoon. Ga
hot days wear thin clothing. Have IA cool
sleeping rooms as possible, Avoid loss of sleep
and all unnecessary fatigue If working in
doors, and where there is artificial heal-laun-
dries ETC., see that the room is well ventilated.
If working in the sun, wear light hat mot
black, as il absorbs heatD straw, etc, aud put
inside of il, on the head, wet cloth on Il large
green leaf; frequently lift the hat from the
head and see that the cloth is wet Do not
check Precipitation, but drink what water you
need TO keep it up, as perspiration prevents the
body from being overheated. Have, whenever
possible, an additional shade, as a thin unbIe-
la, when walking, canvass board cover
when working in the sun. When much fatigued
do not go to work, but be excused from work,
especially after IL o'clock in the morning on
very hot days, If the work is in the sun. II IA

The Liver is the imperial organ Of the whole
human system, as it controls the life, health and
happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its
proper action, all kinds of ailments are the nat

ments of the heart and blood The action of the
brain and nervous system. are all Immediately
connected with the workings Of the Liver. 1t

Two HERoEs.-There is nothing finer in he
roc quality than to simply stick to ones post
in the face of danger or of certain death, if the
safety of others is assured by it, or even brought
more near. When a man holds trust with
his life, there is no need to look for other def
milton Of hero, whatever the trust may be.
Even with the ordinary chances Of travel there
will doubtless always be room, so long as tracks
are laid and trains run, to prove the stuff that
engineers are made of, but when villainy takes
the form of obstructng tracks, or pulling up
rails with the fendish intention of putting
hundreds of lives in peril it is well to tell
along with the story what two men did to save
a train. Very likely George Babe and his son,
the engineer and fireman of the wrecked train
on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more road on Saturday night, saw as good
chance for their lives, after the engine left the
track, as it ran along six hundred feet or So,
as many a man who has jumped and saved
himself, leaving the passengers to their fate.
But as the old fashioned honor makes the cap
tain the last to leave the sinking ship, so this
father and son stood at their posts and were
killed There is no need to take account of
probabilities, nor what might have come about
had they saved themselves the lives entrust-
ed to them were all saved, and they died at
their duty. The officer who leads forlorn
hope and falls in front of his men is no greater
hero than the railway engineer fireman OF
brakesman who stands by his train in wreck tc
the death.-Ledger.

A LESSON FOR PARENTS. il a powerful
argument for parents to heed, in the report of
tie Eastern penitentiary for the year, that they
give summary of prison statistics since 1884,
and o the $500 prisoners received, emily 689
had trades when committed. OF those received
during the year, nearly one-half were between
IS and 25 years, and only 95 had a trade. An
idle mans brain is the devils workshop, and
a man with trade is much less liable to be-
come a criminal than one without trade. Ed
ucate your boys in useful employments, learn
them trades for which they have an aptitude,
