GERMAN SYRUP."-No other medicine
in the world was ever given such test of
its curative qualities as Boschce's German
Syrup. In three years two million four
hundred thousand small bottles of this med
icine were distributed free Of charge by
Druggists in this country to those afflicted
with Consumption, Asthma, Group, severe
Coughs, Pneumonia and other diseases of
the Throat and Lungs, giving the American
people undeniable proof that German Syrup
will cure them. The result has been that
Druggists in every town and village in the
United States are recommending it to their
customers. Go to your Druggists, Light Il
Mitchell and G. E. Beller, Charles,own, and
Gilbert Bros, Harper's Ferry, and ask what
they know about it. Sample bottles 10 cents.
Regular size rs cents. Three doses will re,
lieve any case.

ENTERPRISE PLUCK.-Few men of this
day have exhibited as much pluck and en-
terprise in business as DR.. Tut, of Now
York, the proprietor of TUFTS Liver Pills.
In few years he has built up business of
vast proportions and made his name house,
hold word all over the land. Advertising
agents say that he has paid the press this
year over one hundred thousand dollars, and
that the demand for his medicines is enor-
nous, both in foreign countries and at home.
The New York papers report the shipment
from that por. in one day of a "ton of TUFTS
Pills" Think of it: hoo thousand pounds
of Pills. From this great success our mer
chants and manufacturers may learn useful
lesson. If they have an article of true merit
no humJug-le everybody know it through
the medium of printers ink, and success is
sure. 1t is true it requires pluck, but "noue
but the brave deserve the fair" More DR..
TUFTS and hard times will disappear as ra-
pidIy as disease vanishes before his most ex-
cellent medicine.

Maj VIM. NJ. Lock, whose arrival in
Charlestown We noticed in our last, has dis
played a variety of Colorado ores in the win
dow of Mr.. W. c. Carrell's store, which are
we'll worth careful inspection. These ores
are from the vicinity Of Canon City, in that
new State, and from the description which
the Major gives of the immense deposits of
Coal, Iron, Marble, Petroleum, Copper, Lead,
Silver and Gold in that immediate vicinity,
besides an inezhaustiblc Water Power, it
may well be predicted that Canon City is
destined in the near future to become q
Birmingham or Pittsburg in the New West.
We, also, as our neighbor of the Free Press,
whose notice we make use of above, were
particularly interested in specimens of Silver
Ore from the Leavcnworth Mine, in which
the Major is interested. He proposes to visit
the Eastern cities for the purpose of inter-
esting Capitalists in it, and with our cotenl-
porary, we commend him to those wishing
to invest in Mining property, and wish him
success in his enterprises, as we'll as distinc-
ton in his profession the law.

A GENERAL REFERENCE o.
@ AIMS.

"A Washington dispatch says that very
important bill is now before the House judi
ciary committe, and will soon be taken up
for action. 1t provides that all claims against
the government, of whatever nature or stand
ing, shall be referred to the Court of Claims
for adjudication. This bill is of the most
sweeping character, and will take from every
department of the government claims arising
out of their business, including pensions,
bounties, Southern claims, and everything
arising out of the government. The bill
was introduced by MIR. Frye by request of
Washington lawyers When the bill comes
up for action in the committee each cabinet
officer will be asked to appear before the
committee and give his views. The Attorney
General is strongly opposed to the proposi>
ton, but it seems to have many friends, par
tcularly in the South.
