IRREGULARITY OF fHE BOWELS.

THIS Is A COMBINATION of
Saline and Vegetable materials, and
contains no Mercury or any drastic
vegetable cathartic, such as Mandrake
and Aloes, and Is far superior in its
action, as it never debilitates or pro-
duces any unpleasant effects. 1t will
remove all diseases incidental to a dis
orde ed state of the liver, and Is there
fore recommended in all Liver Com
plaj is. 1t will act thoroughly on the
live lin from two to four hours time
aud does not produce nausea or gripping
pains in the bowels.
DR.. Tobin having suffered for years
with liver disease, and after trying
every known remedy without success,
has succeeded in preparing this remedy
and by its use alone restoring his
health-now offers it to the public for
the cure of all liver troubles, and sells
it under guarantee that after taking
three or four doses of the medicine and
satisfaction is not given, you can have
your money refunded by returning the
bottle and wrapper.
HEPATOZONE has since its intro
duction, proved one of the most valua-
BILE medicines discovered. Its merits
and success has been as gratifying to
the proprietors as its effects have
proved beneficial to those using it; al
most daily testimonials are received,
speaking in the highest terms of its
efficacy in its action on diseases for
which it is recommended. There Is no
doubt of the value of Hepatozone. 1t
is efficacious, mild and thorough in its
action, and there is not to-day medi-
cine which can equal it as regulator
of the liver and corrector Of the bow
les. AS an indication Of its worth, we
will state that though every bottle Is
guaranteed to give satisfaction, yet out
of over 10000 bottles sold, we have had
only two bottles returned to us. We
append few unsolicited testimonials
of its value:
From DR.. Callahan, formerly of this
place:
LULING. Tex. Nov. 25. 1883.
Drs. ]. J. u III. TObin. Austin:
Gentlemen--1 QeSlre TO give you my
unsolicited testimonial to the virtue of
your great medicine, Hepatozone. My
mother, who lives at Lafayette, Ala,
has been a great sufferer from liver
trouble for four years, physicians abso-
lutely failing to give her relief. Hav-
ing heard of the cures effected by your
medicine, procured four bottles and
sent them for her to try, urging her to
give them a fair trial, and now she
writes me as follows: "Thanks to that
wonderful medicine you sent me, my
health is greatly improved; the pain in
my side, which the doctors here could
not relieve, has entirely disappeared,
and 1 feel like I had a new lease on
Life" have heard from my mother
since the above was written, and she
regards the cure as complete. Many of
my friends at this place use Hepato-
zone with great satisfaction, and pro-
nounce it one of the very best of liver
medicines. Respectfully,
p. III. CALLAHAN,
Dentist, Luling, Texas.

Swain on the Rack.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Swain
court of inquiry met this morning and
organized. Gen. Swain was present
with his counsel, Representative Cal
kins and Judge Johnston, and Bate
man who made the charges against
Gen. Swain was accompanied by his
attorney jeff Chandler. A general
statement of the grounds of accusation
made by Bateman to the secretary of
war was made by Chandler, and Cal
kins followed with counter state
ment for the defense. Neither side
touched anything but the spe ecific
charges made in Bateman's letter to
the secretary of war, but the judge
advocate of the court, calling the at
tention of the court to this, suggested
the scope of inquiry be extended to
the further charges alluded to in the
closing part of Bateman's letter but
not specifically made. The court de-
cided that Bateman should be called
upon to explain these charges also be-
fore the inquiry was concluded. Bate.
man was then called to the stand, and
testified to the character and extent
of the business transactions between
his firm and General Swain. Before
the conclusion of his testimony court
adjourned until tomorrow.

PARIS. April 3O.-Marshal Mcmahon

PARIS. April 30.-Marshal McM Mahon,
Duke of Magenta, is at the point
of death. He has been ailing for some
time, but hopes for his recovery were
entertained until this afternoon, when
his physicians declared the soldier
president was almost beyond medical
recovery. President Grevy and many
distinguished officers of the French
army, and also plumber of leading
foreigners, called at his residence to-
day to inquire after the health of the
illustrious chevalier, and the press of
all shades of politics speak in terms
of profound sorrow over the illness of
man whose loss will be irreparable
to France, and whose whole life has
been remarkable for its matchless val
or, its political purity, and its singular
unSelfiShneSS.

COUNCIL.

There was an Adjourned meeting of
the council last evening. The mayor
being absent, Alderman Robertson
took the chair. Sixteen members, a
quorum, answered to their names.
Alderman Robertson presented a
petition from citizens relative to OBJ
structions on the streets. Referred.
A petition from fortune tellers COM
planning of the tax on that business
as oppressive was read and laid on the
table. The petitioner asked that the
license on fortune tellers be reduced to
$500.
a petition from d. J. Carlisle was
presented complaining of fine of
$50 assessed against him for carrying
pistol, which was not loaded, and
stating that at the time he had the pis-
tol he was trying to dispose of it by
sale. 1t was suggested the matter
should be referred to the mayor.
Alderman Hill favored reference to
committee. AS rule he said it was
not good policy to review the action
of the recorders court.
Alderman Wells moved instead
that the matter be referred back to
the petitioner to present his case to
the mayor.
The chair ruled that the complain
ant had his right of petition anyway
he pleased, and that the mayor was
the proper party to present his petit
ton
1t was referred back to the petit
toner.
A petition asking for remission of
fine against John Van Vleit, for
drunkenness, was referred back to the
petitioner.
A petition asking for protection of
the Hook and Ladder company on ac-
count of their lease from Mr. Ber-
tram expiring, was referred.
The report of the city physician, DR..
Burt, was read. 1t asks an appropri-
alton to furnish the city hospital, and
gives list of items of furniture
needed for twenty patients, ETC.,
amounting to 3OO0-one-hah to be
appropriated by the city and half by
the county. Laid over.
Report of the city treasurer was
read, showing among other items the

The Paw Paw Herold advises Mr.. Yaple
to 60 forth and preach greenback gospel
throughout the district. Mr.. Yaple will, no
doubt, follow the Heralds advice, but next
winter, when he goes back to Congress to
finish out his first and last term, he will act
with the democrats, caucus with the demo-
Gratis, vote with the democrats, and be a
democrat in the future as he has been in the
past. His greenbackism is only skin deep,
just enough of it to humbug greenback
voters.

The Vermont State election on Monday
last resulted in the election of Pingree, re-
publican, for Governor of about 10000 over
all opposition. The greenback vote was but
trifing. All republican congressman elected
by large majorities. State legislature stands
90 republican, IA democrat, greenbacker,
and l independent. The new legislature
will elect U. S. senator to succeed Senator
Morrill,. The result of the election is graft
flying to republicans, and is regarded as pre-
saying greater victories for the party in the
near future.

Z" Push Things"

We present in this issue the republican
county ticket as nominated at Lawrence to-
day. Lack of time prevents MS from MAX
ing extended comments upon the merits of
the respective candidates; of that matter we
shall speak hereafter. That it is strong
ticket, composed of capable and honorable
men, no one can deny.
As a matter of course, there must be some
disappointment, there always is. There are
not Offices enough to 90 around to all those
who might like one, or to all those whom
their friends would like to see honored by
political preferment AS in war there must
be an army of common soldiers, as well as
officers, so in politics there must be an army
of voters. A regiment of brigadier generals
might make fine display on dress parade,
bat they would be of no use in battle, and so
it is in political warfare, the officers are
necessary, but it is on the great mass of the
party that success depends.
Then let republicans, everywhere, forget
disappointments, or personal preferences,
and rally to the standard as one man, sup
porting the candidates of the party from the
lowest TO the highest, from president to cor
oner They have all been fairly nominated,
they are the choice of the party expressed
4ba
way.
Let there be no disaffection in the ranks,
but let us be united and harmonious, and
thus, in November next, add another to our
long and unbroken line Of republican vic
tories and triumphs.

The Prohibition Party,

At the state prohibition convention, held
talked about winning the fight and the cleo
ton of the candidates there nominated. But
every man of ordinary intelligence knows
that such talk is the sheerest kind of non
sense, and that Michigan will be carried at
the next election by one of the great parties,
the republican or democratic. We say
republicans or democrats, for the fusion
party is really the democratic party, the
greenbackers having joined hands and hearts
with the democracy, and having become, to
all intents and purposes, democrats so far as
state issues are concerned. We say, there
fore, that either the republican or the
democratic party must prevail in Michigan,
and every sensible man knows it. Such
being the case, it behooves temperance men
to consider well their duty as citizens, and as
voters who desire to advance the cause of
temperance in our state. The republican
party has given to Michigan all the temper
ance legislation it has ever had, the party
stands on record as being in favor of submit
ting prohibitory amendment to a vote of
the people, a very large majority of those
who favor legal prohibition of the liquor
traffic are found in the ranks of the republican
party, while on the other hand the democrat
ic press boasts that there are no prohibition
democrats, that party has declared in its
platform, and by its National standard bear
er, that it is opposed to all sumptuary laws,
which, being interpreted, means that it is in
favor of free whiskey.
Every vote, therefore, that is cast in favor
of the prohibition ticket and its candidates
is, in effect, vote to take the administration
of the state government out of the hands of
the republican party, a party that favors
temperance, and is pledged to submit the
question of prohibition, and to give control
of the state to the democratic party, party

The greenback vote i'll Michigan, as
fifth as great as the democratic vote. If the
peculiar electoral arrangement adopted by
the fusionists should prove successful, the
greenbackers would probably get two electo-
raj votes, while the democrats would get ten.
For the chance of these two votes that, in
any event could avail their candidate moth
ing, greenbackers are expected to 90 their
utmost to help the chunky man from Buffalo
to the remaining ten.

Since the recent Developments in refer
ence to the personal record of Candidate
Cleveland, a good deal has been said by the
press, both democratic and independent,
about putting Mr.. Cleveland off the ticket,
and placing another in his stead. So much
has this matter been agitated and discussed,
that Mr.. Hendricks has written letter in
which he gives IL as his opinion that Mr..
Cleveland should not be displaced. The &C.
ton of the convention, he says, cannot now
be reversed, nor does he think il ought TO
be. This is a singular state of affairs, the
