Few people know, says writer in
the Country Gentleman, the value of
bultermiIk. a proper and constant
use of bultermilk will entirely cure
the constant craving for stimulanls to
which many persons, from long use,
have habituated themselves. Have it
handy, and when the appetite says
whisky or other stimuian,, drink half
tumbIcr Of bnttermilk; the craving
desire will be satisfied, and the stom-
sch will be much benefited and
strengthened, instead Of weakened
There are very many good effects from
free use Of buttermilk. 1t alone Will
often cure sour stomach, and perma-
HcntIy. The Tactic acid needed by
many persons is supplied by butter
milk much more largely than by any
other known food or beverage One
vital and important use Of butternilk
is the prevention Of valyular ossihca-
ton of the valves Of the heart, from
which, in this country, so many per
sons die, especially Old persons There
are many other peculiar so-called heart
diseases which tactic acld if partaken
Of freely, prevents. The so-called
fptteriug or palpitation of the heart,
consequent upon a disordered, dyspep-
tic stomach, can he entirely removed
by free usc of butteYmilk,

Farmer that the keeping qualities Of
smoked meat do not depend on the

form and proper drying of the meat,
smoke Of high temperature, moisture,

the meat are all injurious in smoking

A bank examiner is In charge Of the
suspended bank, and probably the
Washington authorities win appoint
receiver ut once.
The Marine bank was desi gnated as a
depository for the City Of New York.
Yesterday the city drew a draft for
$500, 600, which was part OF the debit
balance In the clearinghouse this
morning, and this did much TO pre-
cipitate the failure.
LATER,
New YoRK, May 7.--Manager Camp
OF theclearing-house states there are no
new developments In the Marine bank
failure, but the situation IL not nea.ly
so bad as at first supposed. II is now
stated on excellent authority that
President Fish exhibited undue haste
In closing the doors OF the bank, and
the directors would not have consented
to his action had they been made
aware Of the exact status of affairs.
The same Is said to be true Of the Grant
q Ward failure, which IL Is claimed
was brought about by Ward remaining
away from business, and practically
losing his head.

1t Is more than probable the bank will
come out all right, depositors being

This diverts q large traffic that for

more for itself than any town In the
state, and maintains an Immigration
society on its own hook. 1t has many

and the result of their labors Is seen In

THE FORT WORTH & DENVER.
Under the energetic and economical
management Of Superintendent Frost,
the Fort Worth & Denver City line
has become one of the best paying rail-
road properties In the Southwest. His
enthusiasm aud loyalty to his road Is
infectious, and If he has any other hope
than the future greatness of his road it
is not developed by his conversation
The road is In excellent condition, has
no floating Indebtedness, and the first
year of its existence paid the interest
on its bonded indebtedness. It's sue
cess is due to its management, and
Superintendent Frost has made for
himself an enviable reputation. His
road Is now, in connection with South
ern roads, transporting hundreds of
thousands of cattle from South Texas
to Wichita Falls, to be thence driven
northward. One noticeable feature
of Col. Frost's management
Is the interest evinced in
the country through which the road
runs. Every possible encouragement
is given those who are building 1t up,
aid the far-seeing management will
reap its reward in loaded cars in the
future. The passenger traffic on the
Fort Worth 4 Denver Is simply Inn
mense, and puzzle to many railroad
men who have seen 1t.
THE GAZETTE renews its suggestion
that the people of Fort Worth go Out
some day and see what rich territory
along the line of the Fort Worth 4
