Ask the most eminent physician
OF any school, what is the best thing
in the world for quieting and allaying
all irritation of the nerves, and curing
all forms of nervous complaints, giving
natural, cbildlille refreshing sleep al
ways?
And thoy will tell you unhesitatingly
"Some form of Hops ~"
CHAPTERI.
Ask any or all OF the most eminent
physicians:
"What is the best and only remedy
that can be relied on to cure all diseases
of the kidneys and urinary organs;
such as Bright's disease, diabetis, reten-
ton, or inability to retain urine and all
the diseases and ailments peculiar to
Women -
And they will tell you explicitly and
emphaticly "Buchu!!!
Ask the same physicians
"What is the most reliable and surest
cure for all liver diseases or dyspepsia;
constipation, Indigestion, billiousness,
malaria, fever, ague, &C., and they Will
tell you:
Mandrake or Dandelion!!!!"
Hence, when these remedies are combined
with others equally volunble,
And compounded into HOB bt'ters, such u
wonderful and mysterious cnra.iVe power Is
developed, which is So varied In It's opera
lions that no disease or i'll healtn can possl-
bly, exist or resist its power, and vet 1t is
Harmless for the most frail woman, weak

The Derrick Fell.

Il derrick OH the tower of Grace Church,
New York, used in hosting stone and
building material for the building Of tho
new steeple, fell Tuesday, carrying with
1t mass of timber and rigging. Joseph
Mckee, the derrick rigger, and Robert
Simpson, = mason, wore caught In the
ropes and terribly msnGled. Mckee was
rescued and sent to the hospital, and will
probably recover. Simpson was caught
in the rigging some distance below the
edge of the tower, and remained suspend
ell l65 feet over the street. All efforts TO
eXtricate him from his terrible position
were for long time unavailing. lie was
finally eXtricatcd from the ENHANCEMENT
of ropes and timbers which pinned him
to the wall, and it was found that he had
been conscious throughout the whole pc
Rod. His right leg and arm were broken
and his chest was badly crushed and his
body was covered with Commissions and
bleeding wounds. He was lowered to the
ground and sent to the hospital, where it
was said his recovery WAS doubtful.
Several large stones crashed through
the roof Of the church and did damage
amounting to $1,000. The accident was
caused by the foot Of the derrick slipping
from It's support as it was being raised.

What She Get. for stubbornncs..

An authenticated case of fasting comes
from White Cloud, Kansas, small town
in Doniphan county. 1t is In substance
MS follows, and vouched for by Dir. w. II.
Farrow, II practicing and reputable ply
sician Of that place: The name of the
faster is Miss Lizzie Bradley, aged sc, and
up to tho prcscnt time she has gone 46
days without taking nourishment or speak
ing word. Tho cause of the freak is
stated to be family quarrel between her
self and her father. Two years ago her
mother died with an insurance Of $4,000
upon her life in the Odd Fellows Associ-
alton. Tho young lady believed that the
money should have been paid to her and
not to her father. Out OF this grew 4 dis
agreement, she leaving and taking refuge
with friend named n. Myram. Desir-
ing to die she chose TO starve to death.
Her communication is done with pencil
and paper. She refuses to see friends or
listen TO arguments. The father is al aged
well-to-do citizen, and fearing that her
determination might prove fatal he sends
word that the money would be paid and a
deed made in her name to the homestead.
This concession seemed to satisfy her, and
she attempted to eat chicken broth and a
few berries, but nothing would remain
on her stomach. Discouraged she has
since then refused to eat morsel. Death
is Inevitable. She Is 3 mere skeleton, OF
y ghastly yellow color, with al Offensive
oaor. The doctors state that few more
days will end her chosen misery.

| desire 10 give all who attend this
school such knowledge rs they can use
hereafter i'll the business of life; hence
am particularly earnest TO induce that
practical use OF English grammar and
rhetoric which will insure students speak
ing and writing correctly.
at the present age OF the world the
ability to express ideas clearly and well,
both on ones feet and on paper, is
preparation for the battles Of life without
which any young man is poorly armed.
And do not hesitate to assert that with
most Of the young men now growing up
in this region this is beyond other things
what is needed.
No young man who expects to enter
business, and DO more than gain bare
living, can afford to neglect this practical
view of education. Much can be done III
Il single session if parents and SONS are in
earnest. There Is no school worthy OF
the name where the young, while they
are learning from textbooks, arc not
making character at the SAME time. And
any school which does not make stronger
the character of the boys and girls who
attond, no matter what else Is accom-
plishcd, ia pitiabe failure. This, with
all possible advancement i'll studies as
signed, am anxious shall continue to he
a characteristic Of this school. All that
is desired and needful to accomplish this
result Is the hearty cooperation Of pa
rents. Very respectfully,

Mr.. Davis statement OH the subject. The
Ex-senator in reply thereto, sent the fol-
lowing card, which to say the least, is not
very enthusiastic as Democratic docu-
ment: "Mr. Blaine and myself are warm
personal friends, we having business in
terests together, which / hope and believe

Locked EsiIn Up.

Three years ago Miss Mary Holder came
from Iowa to visit friends of heis In Fort
vile, Cattaraugus county, III. While
there she became acquainted with the
daughters of Henry w. Conrad, a wealthy
widower of 60 years of age, and visited
them at their fathers house. In the
spring of 1881 she returned 10 Iowa and
opened millinery store in Council BluiiS.
Soon afterward she received letter from
Widower Conrad, in which he confessed
to having fallen In love with her, and
asked her 70 marry him. She finally oon-
sentod to DO so. His daughters suspected
that lie was corresponding with Miss
Holder, and one Of them followed him
constantly wherever he went, and sue
ceeded in preventing him from writing TO
his intended for more than two months.
He then obtained access TO friends
office. where he wrote to Miss Holder and
told her the situation. Last spring no
sent for her to come to Portvillc. She did
so, and they were secretly married. LiV-
ing apart and rever being seen together,
no one suspected that they were married
until last April, when Conrad's daughter
discovered that fact by accident. With
the aid of their brothers they imprisoned
the old man in his house, and induced him
to assign all his property to his eldest son.
Conrad has been kept under lock and key
ever since. Last week his wife, whose
supplies had thus been cut oil, went to
the house and demanded her husband.
His children attempted to eject her from
the house, whereupon she drew a revolver
and declared that she would have her
husband. An officer was sent for and
charge of assault with intent to Kill was
made against her. She was arrested ana
held to appear at the next term Of court.

A desperate attempt was made Monday
near Elkton, Md, by large number OF
Italian laborers to lynch the son Of an alb
seconded contractor. 1t appears that on
Friday last John Wallace, ST., Of the firm
OF Wallace & McIIugh, sub-cOntractors OIL
the Baltimore and Ohio extension under
Contractor IIannum, absconded with
about 81, 800, which was to have been used
TO pay the Italian laborers' arrearage for
two months. Wallace left his SON John
in charge Of the works. AS SOON as the
men heard that they were likely to lose
their money they became greatly excited
and riot was expected at any moment.
\ council Was held and the men decided
TO wait = day or SO and see what would be
done in the matter. They gradually grew
more ugly in their manner until Monday
morning, when they were Informed that
the money was lost to them. Then about
sixty OF the laborcrs attacked tho boarding
house Of young Wallace and captured him.
They dragged him out, tutoring horrible
excavations tho while.
Arrangements were at once made to
hang Wallace. a burly Italian named
Joe Pinto produced rope, noosed It,
threw ono end around the limb Of Il tree +,
while another Italian placed the moose
around young Wallace's neck as he lay
almost unconscious on the ground. The
excited Italians would have hanged Wal
lace but for the timely arrival Of the Italian
boss, who has great influence with the mon
and who hWrled the ring-leaders back and
released the young man from his perilouS
position. Wallace was hurried home to
his house and Sheriff Smith, of Cecil coun-
ty, notified. The sheriff summoned six
deputies and they are now guarding Wal
lace's house. The situation Of affairs ID
pronounced sruly desperate. The Italians
will not lister. TO reason and others of their
countrymen who are idle arc arriving
hourly and will lend helping hand to the
swindled laborers In case another attempt
Is made to seek vengeance. Sheriff Smith
has asked that more deputies be sent him
from Elkton and North East.
