In nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach.
Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion
interferes with il. The brain and stomach
sympathize. One ofthe prominent symptoms
OF weak state OF the gastric organs is q dis
turbance of the great nerve entrepot. the
brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you re-
store equilibrium TO the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose Is Hostel
ter's stomach Bitters, which Is far preferable
TO mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics,
which, though they may for time exert a
soporific influence upon the brain. soon cease
to act, and invariably injure the tone Of the
stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, re-
store activity to the operations OF that al
important organ. and their beneficent tnfiu.
ence is reflected in sound sleep and n tranquil
state of the nervous system. A wholesome
impetus islikewise given to the action Of the
liver and bowels by its use.

The EIection.-The election passed

The EIectiOn.-The election passed
off very quietly and peaceably at Shep-
herdstown OIL Tuesday. There was no
noticeable drunkenness and no disorder
of any character. The vote polled, 527,
was quite large one, considering the
fact that this is an of year. The day
was a beautiful one, and every one who
wanted to could get to the polls. The
very sensible method of canvassing the
vote as it was polled prevailed, and it
was counted aud the result given out by
six o'clock. Some of the interested ones
went to the telegraph station here and
some to Sharpsburg for the news. The
telephone would have been appreciated
here then.

Hannah Sands, an old lady living at
Rye, Worchester county, n. Y, and
supposed to be very poor, died last fall.
A search among her effects brought to
light 100000 in money and bonds
sewed up in an old skirt. She had
never been married, and had no living
relative except four uephews. These
men, therefore, became the residuary
legatees, and Friday the surrogate made
decree Of distribution by which each
of them received an equal portion of the
estate, about 100000. All the heirs
were till now In condition of poverty.

A special from Fort Keogh, Montana,
says: GA cowboy herding some cattle
near Bozeman Wednesday conceived
the idea of running a race with freight
train just passing. Putting spurs to
his horse, he caught up with the flying
cars, and for while the race was an
even one. While galloping like mad
alongside the train, by sudden lurch
horse and rider were thrown against
the cars. Both the cowboy and horse
were killed.

Dnstardiy.-Last Monday night
some person or persons broke open Mr..
John r. Rays blacksmith shop and
carried two of his heavy anvils out and
placed them on the railroad track. They
were, fortunately, discovered and re-
moved before an accident occurred. 1t
is thought the act was not done malic-
iously, but was the work of boys play
ing Hallow Zen pranks. Whichever
way 1t was, it cannot be too highly con-
demned, aud the perpetrators should be
severely punished. Mayor Harrison
offers a reward of twenty dollars for the
discovery of the guilty persons.

Worth neutrality-suspicious. o

Worth observation-disclosures oil
is generally used for lights in the coun-
try, and the cleaning of lamp chimney 8
is quite tiresome, but must be attended
to every day. The burners often get
out of fix, and it is very vexatious 10
keep them in running order. When
they get clogged and will not run up or
down, and are covered with SCOT and
gum, do not throw them away, but take
a little iron kettle and Put in pint OF
wood ashes and quart Of water; put
i'm the burners AID set them on the stove,
and let them boil five or ten minutes;
take them out, and with a soft rag wash
them clean and dry them well. They
are then as good as new, and will do
another six months. 1t is very little
trouble to do it, and saves much veXa-
ton. After one has tried it once they
will not be apt to forget it. Nice-look-
ing, clean lamps are quite ornamental,
while a smoky chimney and bad-smelling
burners are not agreeable.

Billy Dougan Of Leadville shot and
wounded an elk up on Grand river and
followed it. At dusk he tracked it to a
clump of timber, and thought he saw
mountain lion crouched over the elk's
body. So he fired and killed Dave
lehman, a wellknown hunter, who
had come upon the elk, killed it, and
was in the act of skinning the carcass.
