Elimination of the blood, imperfect assimilation,
are certain to ensue. But it is easy to prevent
these consequences, and remove their cause, by
II course of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which
stimulates the hillary organ and regulates its
action. The direct result is q disappearance of
the pains beneath the ribs and through the
shoulder blade, the nausea, headaches, yellow
ness of the skin, furred look of the tongue, and
sour odor of the breath, which characterize liver
complaint. Sound digestion and regular
habit of body are blessings also secured by the
use Of this celebrated restorative of health,
which imparts a degree OF vigor to the body
which is its best guarantee Of safety from ma
larial epidemics. Nerve weakness and over
tension arc relieved by it, and it improves both
appetite aud sleep.

Ihe PhYsicni ParadoI.

1t has been said shat " the blood is the source
OF life 1t is rs truly the source of disease and
death. No life, that is to say, no healthy It's
sue can be generated from impure blood, no
organ OF the body can normally perform its
functions when supplied with impure blood.
The fluid that should carry life and health to
every part carries only weakness and disease.
Blood is the source of life only when it is pure.
Ii it has become diseased, it must be cleansed by
proper medication, else every pulsation of the
human heart sends wave of disease through
the system To cleanse the blood of all impu-
rites, use DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Discov-
cry and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, the most
eifectual Alternative, tonic and cathartic reme-
dies yet discovered. They are specially eff
cient in scrofulous diseases.
When neglectful of the duty assigned to it by
nature, that of secreting the bile, the liver
should be disciplined with Dr. Motifs Vegeta-
BILE Liver Pills, which will speedily remedy its
inaction and stimulate it to vigorous perform
ance of its secretive function. Constipation,
which is an invarable accompaniment of liver
disorder, is always overcome by this great anti
bilious cathartic, and Indigestion, chronic and
acute, is completely cured by it. All druggists
sell it.

(FrCm our Correspondent

Yesterday was a day long to be
remembered in this section of count
ry. The wind blew perfect hurri-
cane from the south filling the air
with clouds of dust making it i'm
possible at times to see more than a
few rods distant. Early in the
morning S. n. Auringer's hay stacks
caught fire from sparks flying from
the chimney burning his hay and
stables, also his seed grain. The
fire crossed the prairie with almost
lightning speed taking everything
in its line Of march. +. Smiths
house with all its contents, "A. Par
ker's hay, stables and and one COW,
and b. NJ. Knights hay and stables
were all burned. Andrew Leiden-
burgh lost his hay, stables, grain
and house with all its contents; all
that was rescued from the flames be-
ing two bed quilts. \. A. Leiden-
burgh lost his stables and hay. This
is all the news concerning the fires
that we have received, but doubtless
many others have suffered from it.
These families all deserve the sym
pathies of the community. They
are all Woodworking industrious
families. When we see families
in want that would not look
ahead and provide something for
winter, when they had an opportuni-
ty of doing so, we cannot have the
sympathy for them that we have for
such families as these that have suf-
fered from the recent fire.
Yesterday, as the western bound
train arrived at steep grade about
one mile east of this station, it was
found after long trial that they
could not ascend the grade, the rails
having been soaped or creased for
over half a mile. An engine, stand
ing on the side track awaiting the
western train to pass received tele-
gram and FASTENED to their assist
ance. The disabled engine was first
hauled up and afterwards the train.
The engine belonging to the tie
train, took the mail coach and pro-
ceeded with it to Marshall, after q
delay of four hours. 1t was suggest
ed by a bystander, that it might pos
sibly be the grease of Mr.. Aliens
hogs that were killed last fall by the
taain running over them, and for
which he has received no pay as yet
from the company.
The protracted meetings conduct
by Rev. L. III. Moses and Rev. John

membered as a time of refreshing

Congregational Church and FIVE or
six will unite next Sabbath. Two
have been taken into full member

quite number have given in their
names as practitioners, We have not
learned the exact number. Rev. l..
II. Cobb was present on Friday and
conducted the forenoon exercises
and in the evening he ADDRESSED a
large Audience. MIR. Cobb has
made many warm friends in the few
visits he has made to our Station.
