| ton for the annual fair.
On the ground that it should have been
presented to the probate court of Chicago,

titien of Mrs. Scoville for the appoint
ment of conservator for the estate OF

SUCH is the stagpation in ocean freights
that oil-cake is taken from New York to
Liverpool for two shillings. sixpence per
ton, and halfpenny js bid ana a penny
asked for grain by steamer: and wheat has
been received at Baltimore for the cost OF
loading and discharging.
ABOUT thirteen thousand Mormons
gathered in the tabernacle at Salt Lake to
hear President Taylor outline the situa.
ton. He declared the Edmunds law un-
constitution nal, but said the Saints would
submit to its provisions while fighting
them in the courts.
Four steamship lines at Boston made a
request of the Chicago railway to forward
grain and it would be taken across the
Atlantic free of charge. Later dispatches
were sent offering premium for grain fol
ballast. The charge is still made tha
rates are being cut by the Grand Trunk
road and it is suspected that reduction,
are being accepted by several lines. Thi.
condition of things is attributable TO higf
speculative prices in the Chicago graiI
market.

The Fem ale LObbyist.

The female lobbyist is to be found at
the capitol from early morn till late in
the evening. She understands the needs
of our country better than any two
statesmen in Congress. She can tell
you more about the proposed ship rail-
way across the isthmus at Tehuantepec
than Jim Eads can. and can in Ian
guage more eloquent than Uncle John
Roach portray the necessity of subsid-
izing ocean steamships. In person she
is beautiful; in character and carriage
dignified, in her affection tender; is
pure as the snow which crowns the
Alpine heights, yet as melting and
gentle as they are when the summer
sun has taught them to flow in silent
rivulets down the mountain side, giving
life and vigor to the hills and valleys
below. - Washington Critic.

The Most Precious of Gifts.

Health is undeniably more precious gift thar
riches, honor or power. Who would exchange il
for these, the chief objects of human ambition
1t is obviously the part of wisdom to employ
means for the preservation of health and the pro
longation of hfe which time and exp rience have
proved to be reliable. Many of the dangers by
which health is threatened may be nullifed by
the use of that most irresistible of correctiyes anC
tonics Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, by in
ereasing vital power and rendering the physica
good working order and protects it against dis.
ease. For constipation, dyspepsia, liver COM
plant, nervousness, kidney and rheumatic all

fence against malarial fevers besides removing
every trace Of such disease from the system. Hall

A CORRESPONDENT in the South writes
"Quinine is priced higher then gold by
a multitude of poor fever-stricken peo-
pie in the South" Malaria will do
some deadly work IN the region of the
overflow, and multitude of people
who have lost all their earthly posses
sion should not have to appeal in vain
for aid to the benevolent people of the
Nation. When the government aid
ceases there will be much suffering for
even the necessaries of life. We OBJ

FRANK JAMES is said to have been
seen in Cincinnati Friday, and to have
purchased ticket for st. Louis. II is
his disposition to seek vengeance, and
the already frequent reports of the
assassination of the governor of Mis-
souri, indicate what the public expect.
There are several men who were en-
gagged in the assassination of Jesse
James who will sleep easier when they
know his brother Frank is under the
sod. Frank has not the qualities OF
leadership, or the ability to plan that
his brother had, but is equally daring,
and has an ugly, morose disposition.
