Seekers After Health.

Unfortunates who are seeking to renew
their health, are many. So often have
they been deceived by the advertisements
of worthless compounds, that they are dis
couraged, and refuse to believe anything
they read in the papers. Therefore. the
best advertisement of really good medi-
cine is the reputation it has gained in pla-
ces where it is being sold. No other re-
medy ever discovered has grown so rapidly
in public favor as that true medicinal tonic
called Browns Iron Bitters. In localities
where its extraordinary merits have become
fully known and realized by those who have
been in illhealth, the sale is unprecedented.
One druggist in our city reports the sale OF
238 bottles in one week. 1t is, indeed, q
wonderful, health-giving, life-saving pre-
paration. 1t is soothing and refreshing in
its effect, and strengthens every part of the
body, and creates healthy appetite and di
gestion, even when the system is almost
destroyed by the many hurtful cathartics
so commonly used. Reader beware! duty
demands that you try Browns Iron Bitters,
if your health is poor from any cause

SIMPLE CASE.

John Colmere was run in by the police
this morning because it was found that he
was carrying more whisky than he could
handle with credit to himself or conven-
fence to the other pedestrians who had oc-
casion to pass him. Colmere was not par
ticularly anxious to receive the protection
of the police. In fact it might be stated
without damaging his fair name and repu-
tation, that he created somewhat of q
disturbance when the officers attempted to
rescue him from the street and gutter.
He appeared before Justice Chopper,
when the whole case was fully explained.
The Court was of the opinion that such
humanity on the part of the officers should
be paid for, and the prisoner was assessed
fine of S5 and costs

Conway has Two Different

His Conduct Results in a Law
Suit.
MARRIED MIDDLE.

Thos. Conway, a young man from Pre-
emption, has discovered that man can
not change the object of his affections
without entailing trouble upon himself,
and also subjecting himself to figure as a
defendant in breach of promise.
The summons of such suit having
been entered IN the circuit court against
him, was yesterday served by Deputy
Sheriff Davis, while Conway was on route
to his home with a newly welded wife.
Conway is tickle individual as regards
his attachments for the ladies, if reports
can be believed; but his days of versatil-
ity in such affairs are not numbered with
the past, as he is not only married, but
also has his past record ventilated in the
circuit court, where he will pose as defen-
dant
