cient fund to clear it of encumbrance and
leave her sufficient to enable to live in n

toned.

KANSAS CITY. Dec. 29.-The Pinker-
ton party did not leave to-day for st.
Louis as was given out, but all remained
here, and in addition thereto a detective
arrived from st. Louis to day bringing
Oscar Cook. Wittrocks, who is accom-
panied by his mother, and Cook were
taken to the Adams express office where
Il consultation was held. As the result
of their days work the detectives have
secured probably about 10000. A lot
of bank notes were found concealed in
beer bottles under the house of John Cox,
in East Bottoms, where Cook boarded
and Wittrock staid while here.
An interview with Robert Pinkerton
was secured late tonight. He stated that
all the accomplices in the robbery had
been captured.

Cattle Growers Association OF the
u. S. YH. Colorado Assoclatinn

U. s., VS.. Colorado Association.
CHICAGO. Dec. % The executiv e
committee of the Cattle Growers Asso-
citation of the United States, have framed
a communication to-day to be forwarded
to the senate and house OF representatives.
The communication calls attention to the
letter by }. A. Cooper, of Colorado, in
which he p%ronounces against the commits
sion feature introduced in congress for
the suppression of exotic diseases among
the cattle of the United States. The
communication says that in the great
emergency now upon the cattle industry,
it is imperatively necessary that some per
son or persons be vested with extraordin-
AIRY powers. 1t goes on to say that the
present bureau and departments are al
ready overwhelmed with work to such an
extent that it would be impossible for any
of them to do as rapid or effective work
as could be done by a commission of ener-
getic and practical business men, whose
sole efforts would be devoted to one task.
The committee believe that a commission
vested with necessary powers could clear
this country Of pleuro pneumonia in
twelve or eighteen months. The COM
munication further says the losses inflicted
upon the cattle industry during the past
two years by reason Of embarrassing inter
state and foreign guarantees amount to a
national calamity. and those guarantees
constitute the greatest existing obstruc
ton to inter state and foreign commerce.
The communication says that thel exper-
fence of other countries have proven that
the only successful way to deal with
pleuro pneumonia, is by prompt resort TO
heroic treatment, and that the quickest
way is the cheapest. The suppression of
pleuro pneumonia is not only demanded
as a sanitary measure for the protection
of our people, the communication goes on
to say, but also as a measure of political
economy. The communication ends with
the statement that the cattle industry
represents an investment of two thous-
and millions dollars worth of taxable
property, and asks for protection to be
extended to it.

Editor Brookhaven Leader:
Seeing that you are again offering
fine Sewing Machine as premium to the
person who gets up the largest club of
cash subscribers by the first of January,
1887, am reminded that l was the sue
cessful competitor for the Machine offered
by you last year, and want say it was
one of the best bargains ever struck. l
found the Machine just as represented
one of the best, if not the best, made, and
my wife has been delighted with it from
the first. If the Machine you are now
offering as premium is the same kind,
it will more than pay any one who takes
the trouble to win it. Yours,
A. NJ. SUMMERS.
P. S.-You are at liberty to make any
use of this statement you may see proper.

by us this year is the same or even better

1t will thus be seen that our iespedeza
or Japan Clover, outranks all others, in
GLIDING Blue Grass and Timothy, both in
nutritive qualities and commercial value.
In fact, of GO forage plants-native,
naturalized and cultivated-in this coun-
try, japan Clover ranks highest in nutri-
ton and value per ton. Red clover, pea
vines and Japan clover excel as tertiliz-
ers; while our Bermuda, crab grass, John
son grass, and even common broom grass,
possess value as hay, never dreaInt of
by most of our people.
Gen. Lee makes the prediction that the
time will come within the life time of
niddled-aged men now living, when the
lespedeza crop of the South, as grazing
and hay crop, will be more valuable than
the cotton crop. 1t grows spontaneously
all over the State, produces from to 4
tons per acre, and needs only to be APP
preciated to be of inestimable value. We
in profusion, and III many places is
crowding out all other grasses, even the
broom sedSe and Bermuda. Another adj
mirable feature about lcspedeza is that it
will flourish on land almost too poor for
anything else, aud arrests land from
washing wherever it gets hold. With
Gen. Lee, We think it will prove a God
send to our country if properly estimated,
and If our farmers will adopt his sugges-
tion of turning out their thinnest lands
for pasturing stock, and fer,ilizing and
do now, and that of the best, new era
of prosperity will be the result. By such
course there would not only be better
crops with three fourths less labor, but
stock raising and dairy farming would
become a profitable industry. Gen. Lee
stated that the creamery butter of the
A. & NJ. College has driven the Western
butter out of the Jackson and Vicksburg
markets, and if the supply were great
enough, could do the SAME thing i'll New
Orleans. New Orleans consumes 5000
900 worth of Western butter annually,
which could, and by rights should, be
supplied by the darics of the South, if
our people would only turn their atIen-
ton to dairy-farming. Will not the far

The Pnrentof fnsoma ia.

The parcnt of insomnia or wakcfulness

stomach. Good digestion gives sound sleep,
indigestion interferes with 1t. The brain
and stomach sympathize. One of the prom
inent symptoms ola weak state Of the
gastric organs is disturbance ofthe great
nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate
the stomach, and you restore equilibrium
to the great centre. A most reliable Med
icine for the purpose is HOstetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. which is far preferable to
mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics,
which, though they may for a time ex-
crt soporific influence upon the BRAN,
soon cease to act, and invariably injure
the tone of the stomach. The Bitters, on
the contrary, restore activity to the oper-
alton of that all important organ, ana
their benefcent influence is reflected in
sound sleep and tranquil state of the
nervous system. A wholesome impetus
is likewise given To the action of the liv
er and bowels by its use.
