For the relief and cure Of all diseases
of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, and
Bowels, the value of Ayers Cathartic
Pills cannot be overestimated. This
remedy is also unrivaled in curing
Rheumatic and Neuralgia affections.
For keeping the Stomach, Bowels,
and Liver in good working order, I have
never found any medicine equal to
Ayers Cathartic Pills. l always use
this remedy when occasion requires. -
Randolph Morse, Lynchburg, Va.
About five years since, my son became
a cripple from rheumatism His joints
and limbs were drawn out of shape by
the excruciating pain, and his general
health was very much impaired. Medi-
cines did not reach his case until he
commenced taking Ayers Pills, three
boxes of which cured him. He is now
as free from the complaint as if he had
never had it, and his distorted limbs
have recovered their shape and pliancy.

hosiery on the plank road in the

west of this city, and resulting
I'm the loss of seven lives.
The victims of the terrible holocaust were
james Ehle, wife, father and three chill
dren, and Mrs. Kinney, guest of the fam
iIy. A hired man, of all the inmates of
the house, alone escaped with his life, ana
this fact has served TO arouse suspicious and
set rumor ahoat but 1t is now generally be-
lieved that the ire was accidental and not
incendiary to hide the evidence of horrible
crime. About noon the remains of the
mother and three children were found.
suggesting that they had persisted huddled
together, while the father had evidently
gotten to all adjoining room from
where he slept. The other bodies
were found where they would
naturally be, and this shows that the
family persisted almost unaroused. An in
quest was held to-day, but it was impOs
Bible to learn the determination arrived at.
Many people of the city have visited the
scene to-day, despite the distance, bad
roads and cold weather. The Ehles were
an old time family and generally known and
respected throughout the section.

Rates From Breckenridee Too High


BRECKENRIDGE. Mimi, Feb. 16.-The
railway and warehouse commissioners met
large humber of farmers and business
men of Breckenridge and vicinity in the
court house to-day. and after an interesting
debate upon railroad tariffs and the grain
law the meeting adopted the following reso-
lutionS:
Resolved, That a law creating a state board
of railroad and warehouse commissioners,
clothed with the proper authority for the reg
ulation of the railroads and the grain and
warehouse business of the state, is public
necessity and most satisfactory tribunal for
correcting the wrongs often imposed on the
people by such corporations.
Resolved, That we respectfully request of
said board supplementary report to the
public on or before Aug. l, 1856, pointing out
the deficiency and defects in said law and to
make recommendations of needed legislation
that they may deem necessary. This would
give the people ample opportunity to discuss
such measures before the meeting of the
legislature.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the freight on grain from Brecken-
ridge to Minneapolis or Duluth is too high
and that we request said board to endeavor
TO secure a reduction of said rates on all
railroads shipping grain from this point
