On account OF the promptReSs with which it
checks the levers generated by unhealty exhala-
tions, Hostetter's Bit ers is considered an ndis-
pensable family medicine on the borders of our
southern and western rivers, and in new settle
ments where the pillow and the axe are for the
first time disturbing tho snlitudes of nature. Its
reputation, however is not confined 10 such local
tiles. Wherever the elements of disease are rife
it is the surest safeguard of health wherever
sickness prevails, it is eficacious as a remedy.
Among the serious diseases which it is guaranteed
TO control indigestion, kihous less and all the
minor ailments connected with arrangements Oh
the stomach, the liver aud the bowels-such as
heartburn headache. fatulence, costiv, ness nau-
sea, distase fer food, languor and de blity, pal
pitatioa Of the heart, treu bling of the hands
noises il the ears, disordered vision disturbed
sleep aud mental quietude. As those physical
and mental disturbances tend to a general failure
of ali the powers of II system, they should be
at once corrected-as they always will be-bv a

A Shower of Icieles IN Montana.

After Sundays fierce storm had
ceased it was found that the supposed
haiI-stones were particles Of ice, and
that enough had fallen to almost cover
the ground. This storm of icicles is
though: to have been caused by the
furious wind coming across the Sierras
having attracted quantity of water,
which, by the excessive cold, was frozen
while in the form of spray, and its pro.
gress being checked in that direction
by the northern wall of Mill Creek
Canon, it dropped its load and turned
down the canon to Mono Valley. The
theory gains strength by the fact that
Lake Jessie, ten miles distant, was on
Monday morning perceptibly lower
than on the previous evening, which
could have. happened in none but a
phenomenal way, the mountain torrent
that feeds it being unusually large al
the time.

THE most hCArtrundIug accident III
many years occurred Wednesday in
the town of Sunderland, England. An
entertainment WAS given in the Victoria
hall by copiu and was very large
ly attended, the most of the audience
being children between 1 and II years
of age. Some ! 200 had seats in the
gallery. The few grown up people in
attendance and the children in the
main body Of the auditorium passed
out at the close of the performance as
quietly as if from church. The little
ones up. stairs made rush to the exit.
At the first landing was q doorway only
twenty inches wide, One little one
stumbled and fell. In less than Il sec
ond a score had fallen ever the pros
trate hody. From this point on on
Language can depict the horrible scene.
Those behind became afltighted and
crowded their way to the marrow exit.
1t wa sauve qui peut, rs they lmag-
ined, but III reality it was death trap
more pitlless than the wheels of the
juggernaut. In their frantic Efforts 10
fins escape the little victims fought
and tore the clothes of each other, aud
still the crowd in the rear pressed on.
Those in the dreadful vortex found no
means of escape. Bruised, bleeding,
aud deprived of air, they sank help
lessly to the floor, forming chaotic
mass of humanity seven or eight
deep. As soon as the news OF the dis
aster became spread the authorities
ordered out regiment of infantry to
presegve order and aid in rescuing the
wounded and recovering the dead.
The former were tsnderly taken to
their homes, and the latter, us in
number, were laid out in the main hall
for Identification. The scenes Of two
attendant cannot be described, and it
is more charitable 10 draw the veil,
leaving only the All-Aitying Eye to
witness the agonizsd fathers and
mothers claiming the remains OF those
from whom they had so joyously
parted but 9 few hours before.

A FAMOUS BREAK.

CHICAGO, June 1o "A season of ex-
traordinary excitement prevailed on
change Immediately after the opening
this morning, by rumor freely ban
died about that the firm of operators,
McGeogh, Everingham & Co., who have
for q long time been looked upon as
heavy dealers in lard and other provis-
ions on the Chicago board, had failed.
This was verified in a m easure soon af-
terward by member circulating about
on the floor of the 'ch ange and notify
ing all with whom they were interested
in provision deals to close them out.
Something in the nature of panic ap-
peared to seize the provision corner.
For time interest in other trading was
lost. The effect was to be seen at once
in the quotations of lard, and Julv on
tions, which yesterday ran up to $11 81
and closed steady at $11 so, sold down
to $40 65 as an initial DR.. ., and then kept
on the descending scale until 50 20
was reached, which would be equal III
point of comparison. to 8 drop of
forty cents bushel in wheat. O1her
options felt the effect in like manner,
but all in measure somewhat recov-
cred in tone, and at eleven O'Clock July
options ras gone back to SO 60 hut sub
sequently again declined 10 50 so. An

been dealing heavily in wheat but this
morning the firm announced It's ability
to care for all its debt in this oommod-
ity, being On the winning eide as the
market now stands. Grain appeared
to feel the effects of the drop in lard
on the early marset ard all kinds were
quoted SIS easier but not sensibly lower.
Following in the wake of the failure of
McGeoch, EveringharH & Co., the firm
of Holley & Allen succumbed at 1890,
and attributed the suspension to toe
failure of the other firm, and stated
their resumption depended entirely on
the action of the large firm. Rumors
Of eight or ten other failures prevail
freely, but no definite announcements
were made on change. The scenes of
extraordinary excitement continued to
one P. NJ. adjournment and whilG there
were many free buyers, July option
lard could not get above 50 so and
closed n. 50 III, as near as could be
quoted. A fair estimate appears to
place the direct losses of McGeoch,

Net a Politician,

Ex-senator EIgene Casserly, of Cal-
ifornia, just dead at the age of 60, was
ono of the men who was so disgusted
with politics that he signalized his ca
reer by leaving it to other and smaller
men. After passing through the stormy
period incident to esrly California pol
itics, he entered the senate in 1869 He
Immediately rose to a high rank there,
taking an active part in the exciting
discussion of the rapidly changing
events of the later reconstruction era.
He thus became recognized as one of
the strong men of the body. But in
1874 he resigned his place in the sen
ate and retired quietly to the practice
of the law. In this, his chosen calling,
he succeeded.

story here 10 the effect that Roscoe
Ccnkling hiss become somewhat
alarmed at the idea of history # re
cent politics by James G. Blaine, and
that he is decided to defend himself in

It is suspected that his book may con-
tain some Incidental references of
highly uncomeiimentary character
to the gentleman from Maine, but it
aas also been suggested that Mr.. Conk-

The L quor Ordinance in Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 19-Under an i'm
pulse of the ordinance passed by the
city council, last night, anticipating the
effect of the new state license law Of
July and extending the present license
for the year nine months. There was
an unprecedented rush for saloon IL
censes and to-day's work aggregating
nearly five hundred. 1t is urged that
the legality of the ordinance is very
doubtful and in the event the extended
licenses are declared void, the sup
position is saloon keepers will not only
lose their fee of one hundred and three
dollars, but forfeit the licenses as well.
