GOoD NEWS TO THE SETTLERS.
Representative Payson of Illinois, who
was the leader of the Republican ma
jorlty on the public lands committee In
the last congress, says that the settlers
out West are necdlessly alarmed on ae-
count of the recent decision by the SUI
pTeme court, that technically the titles
OF the railroad lands which have been sold
by the railroad companies to the settlers
but have not been patented, still rest In
the United States. The decision has been
constructed that the settlers who have so
| purchased have no valid title TO their
lands, and may be deprived OF them at any
time, This Is not the case, The title the
government holds to the lands by this de-
cision is that the lands are to be held to
secure the cost of survey and may be ac-
! quired at any time by the settlers paying
! for the survey Of their lands. The rail-
road companies will then have 20 make
! good the cost of them. The court sug-
gests that a bill might be passed by con
! gross FORGETTING lands not patented within
some time stated after the passage
of the act Mr.. Payson Is GO
| ing to introduce IN the house
a bin which was offered by him last year
and passed, but failed In the senate
through amendments. This bill provides
for the forfeiture of all lands on which the
cost Of survey has not been paid within
/ sixty day, after the holders have received
| their notice.

A Tranquil Nervous system

Can never be possessed by those whose
digestive and assimilatiye organs are IN
state of chronic disorder. Weak
stomachs make weak nerves. To restore
vigor and quietude to the latter, the
first must be invigorated and regulated.
The ordinary sedatiyes may tranquilize
the nerves for while, but they can
never, like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
remove the causes of nervous debility.
That superb inyigorant and corrective
of disordered conditions of the alimen-
tary organs, has also the effect of inn
parting tone to the nerves. The deli
cate tissues of which they are constitu-
ted, wnen weakened in consequence OF
impoverishment of the blood resulting
from imperfect digestion and assiinila-
ton. dlaw strength from the fund of
vitality developed in the system by the
Bitters, which imparts the required i'm
petus to the nutritiye functions of the
stomach, enriches the circulation and
gives tone and regularity to the secre-
tive and eyacuative organs.
