The End of the Way.

The following beautiful lines were writ
ten by young woman in Nova Scotia, an
invalid for many years with spinal disease
but great sufferer, but in whom the grace
of God is most wonderfully manifested;
My life is a wearisome journey,
I'm sick with the dust and the heat,
The rays of the sun beat upon me-
The briars wounding my feet;
But the city to which am journeying,
viii more than my trials repay,
And the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way
There are so many hills to climb upward,
often am longing for rest;
But he who appoints me my pathway,
Knows just what is needful and best;
know in his Word he has promised
That my strength shall be as my day.
And the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
He loves me too well to forsake me,
Or give me one trial too much;
All his people have been dearly purchased,
And Satan never claim SUCH
BY and by shall see him and praise him,
In the city of unending day;
And the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
When the last feeble step has been taken,
And the gates of the city appear.
And the beautiful songs Of the angels
Float out on the listening ear;
When all that now seems so mysterious,
viii be plain and clear as the day;
Yes, the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
Though now | am footsore and weary,
shall rest when I'm safely at home
know shall receive glad welcome,
For the Savior himself has said, Comet
So when am weary in body,
And sinking in spirit, say,
All the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
Cooling fountains there for the thirsty;
There are cordials for those that are faint;
There are robes that are whittier and purer
Than any that fancy can paint;
Then I'll try to press hopefully onward,
Thinking often through each weary day,
The tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way. Selected

PurifieS the Blood
Three Peculiarities.

The superior qualities of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla are secured by three peculiarities,
namely:
First-The combination of remedial agents
used.
Second-The proportion in which they are
mixed
Third-The process by which the active
medicinal properties are secured
These are peculiar to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and are unlike any other. The result of
these peculiarities is a medicine of unusual
strength, which effects cures hitherto UNI
known.

The Combination

and proportion of Sarsaparilla, Dandelion,
Mandrake, IVA Ursi, Dock, and other
remedial agents used in Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, is exclusively peculiar to this valua-
BILE medicine. and is found in no other.
The cures effected by its use, unmistaka-
bly, prove that this peculiar combination
does possess specific power in relieving hui
manity of the various ills which arise from
impurities in the blood. The wonderful
cures it has effected in numerous cases,
when all other means had failed, warrant
us in urging the suffering to give Hoods

Three Effects.

The thousands of remarkable cures which
have been accomplished by Hoods Sarsa-
parilla are due simply to three effects
which this great medicine has upon those
who take it:
First-It purifies the blood.
Second--It strengthens the system.
Thfrd-It regulates and gives healthy &C
ton to the digestive organs.
With these three effects no disease can
long retain its hold. 1t is forced to leave
the system, giving place to health and
strength through the potent influence of

A PARTNERS COMPLAINT
Concerning the Management of the North
western Lake Ice Company's Business

Two years ago Frederick C. and George w.
Suffer formed partnership under the name of
the Northwestern Lake Ice Company. Yester-
day Frederick filed in the Circuit Court his COM
plant asking that receiver be appointed to
take charge of the affairs Of the company. and
that he be given Judgment for $40, 900 as his
share of unpaid profits. 1t is said the ice the
company has stored, houses, tools and equip
ments are worth $4,000; that the cash business
and accounts and bills receivable are very
large But Frederick claims that not
withstanding the terms Of equal
partnership the defendant, George W. Suffer,
assumed full and exclusive control of the firms
business. He kept control of the books and. it
is alleged refused Frederick access to them. The
latter says he could get no satisfactory state
ment of the condition of the firms debts and
assets, and that although he demanded from
time to time his share CT the profits. the defend
ant falsely Informed him that there were none.
He charges that the accounts were not accurately
or correctly kept as to outays and receipts, and
that the business managed in
haphazard and unbusiness-like way. There
were no books, it is alleged, to show the actual
condition of the business, although it amounted
to $25. 900 per year. Plaintiff says he demanded
statement of cash received by the firm, ard to
be allowed to look at the cash-book. He was
shown one in which, it is charged, the only
entry Is 1000, Aug. L, caSn coiecteQ from
March IL, 1884. to Aug 1, 1885, $13. 800. 49," He
further claims that according to the books kept
by George W. Suffer, he the PLAINTIFF had re-
ceived only 1915 SO, and that there was no ac-
count OF the amount taken out by defendant, and
no III cans of showing how much he had collected
and appropriated to himself.
During the ice season. the complaining part
ner says, they had I've and sometimes six wagons
running, delivering. on an average, 60, pounds
of ice per day. This continued four months of
the year, and during the rest of the time about
one-half that amount of ice was sold. The
erage price was 20 cents per hundred pounds.
Frederick says small sums were paid him at diff
ferent times, but be was never treated as part
ner, and no settlement has been made because
the defendant failed and refused to settle. He
alleges, in addition to ali this, that
the debts of the firm defendant fails
and refuses to pay notwithstanding the business
is good and he has of the firms money sufficient
to pay all liabilities. He complains that he can
not pay them because he has not been paid his
share of the profits. With the closing allegation
that the business is being run into hopeless in
solvency, Frederick sets forth the prayer referred
to in the beginning of this report.

HEAVY Street Robbery.

About half past 10 o'clock last night, Chris. s.
Dording, of st. Mary's, O.. was stopped at the
corner of Morris and Union streets by man
who ordered him to give over his valuables.
Dording was inclined to resent the Interference
and demand of the highwayman, but the fellow
persuaded him that a surrender of money and
whatever of worth he had about him was the
best course to pursue After relieving his victim
of 1864 the robber allowed him to go on to his
boarding place, Henry Kissels. Dording has
been in the city about two weeks looking for a
business opening.
Dording told the officers that the robbery was
committed by one of three men with whom he
had been drinking during the day. and wher he
started for home this man followed him, and
overtaking him at the locality named, knocked
Dording down.

A Pair of Ohio Horse-Thieves Arrested and
Started on Their Way to the Penitentiary.
special to the indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Sept 14.-Nathaniel Snyder, of
Huron County, Ohio, arrived here to-day and
Identified a pair Of thieves arrested here on Fri
day by Marshal Won Behren and Sheriff Holman,
on suspicion of horse-stealing The fellows. who
give their names as Thomas Shelton and Ben
Reynolds, came here on Friday, and first at
tracted attention by trying to dispose of horse
and buggy for half their value. They first went
to Matters livery-stable, out Mr.. Matter would
have nothing to do with them. They then went
to Buffers stable, where their conduct
was so suspicious that Mr. Butler no
tilted the officers. Marshal Won Behren and
Sheriff Holman thereupon put them under ar
rest. They at first refused to give their names,
but afterward each of them in private inter
view, disclaimed the ownership OF the horse,
each assigning him to the other. Next day, how
ever, Marshal Won Behren received telegram
from Huron county, Ohio, enjoining him to
hold the fellows, as they we're members of gang
OF thieves which had been for some time com
hitting depredations in northern Ohio To-day
Nathaniel Snyder, of Huron county, arrived and
identified the horse as one stolen from him
On the night of the 4th instant, and the
buggy as one taken from neighbor of his at the
same time. Shelton confesses the theft, and
states that Reynolds was but recently released
from the Ohio penitentiary where he had served
a term of three years for similar crime He
also states that an organized band of thieves
has been working northern Ohio for some time,
making their headquarters at his house Officers
are on the track of the others, with prospects of
breaking up the entire band and landing them in
.he penitentary. Shelton and Reynolds were
5aken tonight to Huron county, where they
will be held for trial
An examination of the Jail onght, after the
departure of the Ohio birds, shows that they had
made preparations for escaping, which would un-
doubtedly have been successful had it not been
Cor the vigilance of Sheriff Holman, who took
the precaution to inspect it carefully. One of
the bars on the inner corridor had been sawed in
Two in two places, giving easy egress to a man
Of ordinary size, and bar of the outer corridor
had been nearly severed. Had the effort been
successful Jail delivery of ordinary size
would have been the result. Eleven prisoners.
confined for stealing horses, sheep and clothing,
for rape, and for almost every crime on the cal
endar except murder, would have escaped.
