Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms fthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedaryille, Cumberland
Co., n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungswcre SO weak raised blood. Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship-
smithing) was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition /
commenced using Mishler's Herb BitterS
and it saved my life. Because it was SO
difficult to get it in this little place, and /
had improved SO much, stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that l have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and / must have Q
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced Of its truth, let them write
me and will make affidavit to it, for /
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure Of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhna, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug.

The wife Of well-known citizen Of
Chicago. on recent morning, soon Of
ter rising, and while still engaged in
dressing, asked her husband: do
you know anybody named Edsall or
Esdale?" A negative reply was given,
and then "Why do you ask?" She
answered: Because dreamed that .
man of that name was found drowned"
At the breakfast table the morning
paper was read, and in one Of tho items
Of news was the announcement of the
disappearance Of young man named
Esdale. and whose remains some ten
days later, were found in the lake. This
il bona-tide occurrence, just as related.
Neither the husband nor vito had ever
heard of the name, and tho first time
they ever saw it was in the announce
ment of the mysterious disappearance
Of . person who bore it. Is this mere
~ singular coincidence, or is it con-
neoted with clairvoyance which per.
ceives events and things beyond the
raach Of the average human vision?

of Missouri, having been severely criti-

Moberly Mo- railroad strike on the

hands Of receiver, was under his
jurisdiction. says:
Il am free to confess that / regard
the laws in regard to contempt of court
antagonistic to the institutions Of
America, but these Knights OF Labor
will effect nothing by attacking the
Judges who administer the law. Let
them attack the law il they want a

"WLat change would bring about the
desired ends?" was asked.
"A Congressional enactment limit

punishment for contempt. Why, as it
Is now, Judge has absolute power
to imprison a man for days, months,
years-in fact, there is no limit
placed on his power; and no habeas
corpus will avail to release that man,
and the act Of the Judge can be passed
on by no other tribunal. This is an old
English law, growing ont Of the times
when the Judge was the tool of the
