A Disabling Disease

No disease which does not confne man to his
bed completely units him for business dys-
depSia. When the stomach is foul, the brain is
always muddy and confused and as the cares and
anxieties of life are sufficient burden for the
ergan of thought to bear, without being tor
mented by the miseries born of indigestion, it Is
highly desirable for the brains sake, well as
that the disordered stomach should be restored
with the utmost dispatch to a healthy vigorous
condition. This object can always be accom-
plished BY course Of Hostetter's Stomach Bit

BOLD BEN BUTLER
Vows thar He'll Never, Ne, Never.

Again,

Vows thar He'll Never, Ne, Never
Enter Criminal Court Room
Again.
The following story Of Gen. Butler we
find in the Philadelphia Day
Gen. Benjamin f. Butler has declin-
ed to act as consul for Guiteau, not
withstanding the urgent appeals of his
relatives. 1t is not generally known
that Gen. Butler some years ago made
vow never TO enter criminal court
again as counsel for any prisoner under
a criminal indictment, The reason he
assigns for such action carries with i
quite history.
1t appears that during his second
term in congress one of his henchmen
and fai hful friend-who was sheriff
Of one of the counties in his congress
sional district, received telegraphic
dispatch from the sheriff of an adjoin-
ing county, asking him to arrest pris-
oner who had escaped from his custody
and was on board an incoming train.
On the arrival of the train i'll question
the culprit was arrested and the sheriff
locked him up pro tenn. in the rail
road depot, frcm which he subsequent
ly escaped. Pursued by the sheriff,
the prisoner halted by the bank Of a
creek, produced q pistol, and threaten
ed his pursuer with death should he
advance one step further. The cour
ageous sheriff, though unarmed, did
not hesitate in the discharge OF his
duty, and met his death in conse-
que6ce. The man was hunted down
and in a short time safely lodged in
Jail. Then came the funeral Of his
victim, at which Gen. Butler, next to
the widow and fatherless, acted as
chief mourner. "Some six months
after this," says Gen. Butler, 81 was in
the Criminal Court, when the prisoner
before mentioned was arranged for
trial. In answer to the presiding
Judge, he represented himself as being
without counsel, and requested that
should be assigned to defend him, which
was granted / pleaded all sorts Of ex-
cuses, but in the state of Massachusetts,
similar request from a prisoner on
trial for his life never passes unheeded,
and was com PEELED to act as defender
of the very man who so cruelty depriv-
ed one of my hest friends of his life.
Once assigned" said he, 81 forgot
everything but my official oath as an
attorney, and succeeded so well for my
client that in the end he was convict
ed of miner degree of manslaughter,
entailing only few years incarcera.
ton in jail. Then came the hue and
cry of my political enemies. This is
the man. they said, who escorted the
widow to the grave at the
funeral Of his faithful henchman,
weeps crocodile tears, and then defends
the assassin and assists him in defeat
ing the ends of Justice AT the next
election" said Gen. Butler, 81 did not
get even one vote in that district,
though heretofore they had been un-
animously cast in my interest. Can
you wonder at my registering a vow
never to enter criminal court againT

THE POND LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
CoLUMBCs, Ohio, May 30.-The su-
preme court, this afternoon, decided
the Pond liquor law unconstitutional.
The syllabus is not yet made public, so
that the grounds of the decision are not
known. The city is in regular fren-
~ of excitement, and this evening tel
egrams are pouring in from all parts of
the state bitterly denouncing the ac-
ton of the judges Republicans are
indignant because they had fully COM
mltted themselves to the principles,
thinking the campaign would be fought
on that issue this fall The democrats
are indignant because they fear the op-
ponents of the. bill will be placarded be-
fore fall and vote in the old way. The
passage of the law is generally agreed
to have been the boss blunder Of the
country in political sense.
AT CLEVELAND
The news that the state supreme
court have decided the Pond liquor
law unconstitutional, created here a
feeling akin to excitement, and has
been the universal topic of conversa-
ton. Law and order people are great
ly disappointed, and uncertain what
course to pursue, but manifest a dis
position to endeavor to secure legisla-
ton of a similar or more stringent ma
ture, which will stand in court.

PIrTsBURG, Penn, May S0-There is
a general feeling of dependency in
business circles to-day. for it is now
settled beyond doubt that on Thurs
day 81 600 workers here and %, 200 in
other western towns and cities will 60
on strike in mills, and 100000 men,
women and children Will have a hard
summer before them. Not only will it
be strike of extensive proportions,
but there IS every indication that it
will be the bitterest and most stubborn
contest ever known in the iron trade
between the workmen organized under
the control of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron and Steel workers. and
the manufacturers, who are bound to-
gether by common interests in the
Western Iron association. Futile at
tempts were made to compromise to-
day, but the workers were inexerable
and nothing could be done
The proposed strike will effect the
workers in all steel-rail and bar iron
factories, and all kinds of business that
depend upon these industries for ma
terial. The most intense and wide
spread suffering can but result, and the
strike will prove a national calamity,
second to none ever experienced in the
United States.

rejected the proposition of the mill

The Literati society met last night
and had very interesting time until re-
cess when it adjourned 20 the Lyceum
hall TO witness the celebrated play,
Lord Dundrary.'' The Lyceum hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
We feel safe in saying Everybody was
well pleased with the manner in which
the play was acted out. Besides this the
Lyceum had very interesting program
advertised. The debate on protective
tariff" by two ladies and two gentlemen
was very interesting. Miss Patty. and
Mr.. Kirby were for "free trade and Miss
Grant and Mr.. Landis for protection. J"
The speech of Mr.. Landis was partic-
ularly eloquent, and gave evidence of his
ability as q debater. The music was
excellent.
There were quite a large number of
visitors present Both societies extend
a warm invitation to the citizens of EN-
poria to attend their meetings. They
are always pleased to have them present
and will try and make them. feel al
