Am Judge Cadaver in de hall to-
night ~ softly queried Brother Gard
ner, as he looked down the aisle to-
wards the stool on which the fat and
juicy Judge was unanimously re-
posing.
IF de Judge am in de hall he will
please step dis way" continued the
President, after moment of deep
silence.
The Judge slowly arose ond mean
dered forward, energetically chewing
at a piece of slippery elm to hide his
agitation.
"Bruder Cadaver, | have a few
words to say to you tonight said
the President as he looked down up
on the shiny badness. "De odder

XNERE FELLOWS COMPOUND
w SYRVP useless in all other diseases,
the benefit which it undoubtedly yields in
Consumption and other diseases of the
Respiratory Organs would vindicate its
claim to the attention of every medical
practitioner. From the statistics of Eng
land and America it is fair estimate that
one-tenth of the entire deaths is caused
by Consumption alone. If the Syrup is
used perseveringly it subdues the tendency
to Consumption, and in many confirmed
cases, as in that of the inventor, it has
effected q cure.
Indigestion and habitual Costiveness
almost always arise from weakness OF the
nerves and muscles of the stomach and
bowels In such cases, FELLOWS Con-
POUND SYRUP OF HYPoPHospHITRs has
proved itself of the greatest service The
excavations soon become copous and
healthy.
This Syrup will cure Pulmonary Con-
sumption in the first stage, and will give
great relief and prolong life in the secoud
and third. 1t will cure Asthma, Bron-
chitis. Laryngitis, and Coughs. 1t will
cure all diseases originating from want OF
muscular action and nervous force.
Public Speakers and Singers
Will find this Syrup of inestimable value.
A dose should be taken before speaking

Aphonia, or the loss of voice, is usually
cured by o few doses. We have known
cases where single dose has been effec-
tual.

of the refusal of the Texans to pay more than

A BAD FAILURE,
J. Il. q. Lincoln, of Boston, Dealer In
Canned Goods, Suspends with Liabili-
Ties All the War from 100000 10

J. l.. q. Lincoln, OF Boston, Dealer In
Canned Goods, Suspendx with L1abill-
Ties All the War from 100000 to
s750,00O.
Special Dfspateh to The Chicago Tribune
BosroS, Mass, May 14.-Wholesale dealers
in canned goods are greatly excited to-day
over the failure of ]. L. B. Lincoln, broker
III canned goods, nuts, ETC.. at No. 1S2 State
street, who announced his suspension yes
terday afternoon. The failure Is 4 very
heavy one, the liabilities being in some quar-
tiers estimated as high as S75o. 900, although
one creditor has stated his belief that the
amount will not exceed 100000. Mr.. Lii-
coin, who isa comparatively young man, has
been in the business in this city several years,
and had secured an excellent rating so far
as credit was concerned. He was thus able
to buy Of nearly all the dealers i'll town.
Something like year ago he suddenly
branched out, opening m office tn New York
and going largely, into dealings with we'll
known Chicago broker who is engaged In
supplying the mining country with canned
goods. Some of the wiser men in the trade
were suspicious that tho young man was
specializing too deeply, and, apprehensive OF
the result, cndeavered, in most cases unsuc-
elements. One Of the heaviest dealers in
these goods said to-day that he some
months ago gave orders In his establishment
to cut clear from Mr.. Lincoln, SO that i'll case
the latter sank he would 20 down alone. But
personal friendship and kindness Of heart
prevailed over cool Judgment, and tllis care
fli1 merchant is now In for it pretty deeply.
This gentleman says that speculation Is ut
the bottom OF the failure, and that it will be
impossible Tor some days to arrive at any
thing like correctestimate OF the liabilities.
Nearly it not quite every house in this busi-
ness i'll the city is involved.

WESTERN MANUFACTURERS.

It fs not often that Western manufacturers
can go into the Eastern cities, and, under the
very eyes Of strong local competition, walk
away with tho best aud largest contracts that
are let. This, however, has been done by the
cnterprising firm Halls Safe l. Lock Company,
who hnyc just been awarded the contract with
the new National bank in New York City,
amounting to nearly Sl00,000. This contract is
for a bank outfit of burglar proof safes and de-
posit vaults. and will be, when completed, one
Of the largest and finest deposit vaults In the
country. Halls Safe and Lock Company's new
store at G. Washington street Is the finest safe
emporium In the West. and contains the largest
stock of elegant fire and burglar-pEoof safes In
Chicago.
