VICTORY FOR TIE IRISH.

Mr. Timothy Harrington, NJ. F., Secre-
tary ofthe Irish National League, in an
interesting interview to-day on the sub
ject of Mr.. DillOn's arrest, said: IL re.
gard the prosecution OF Mr.. Dillon as n
great victory for the Democratic party.
BY its action the Government admits the
complete failure of of their rnle in Ire
land under the ordinary laws, and have
taken the first step in the series
of press prosecutions, imprison-
ment of Irish leaders, prohibitions
of meetings etc, which will doubtless
follow. do not doubt that the Govern
ment will try to twist the ordinary law to
meet the difficulty which attend Tory rule
to Ireland and then apply to Parliament
for fresh measures of coercion, by which
time they will have deprived themselves Of
the only cogent argument against auto
nomy, namely, that Ireland is able to he
ruled without exceptional law. ! think
the present ttate Of the country justified
this policy from their paint of view, and
the Government have tried to bring the
landlords to reason by private argument;
but the rack-rentcrs and needy landlords
are not likely to give way to obligc the
Government.

A Good Mother.

The following Is an extract from an

Gus:
ut must take brains to conduct such
an immense concern"
1T does, and I'll tell you where the
brains come from. 1t has been truth
fully said that successful business man
must have good mother. w. w. Cole
is the wealthiest man in the show bust
ness. He is the sole owner of the colos-
sal shows bearing his name. and his
real estate in Chicago and st. Louis are
source of large revenue. He is yet
young man, but has already made
circuit of the world with his mammoth
enterprise, besides numerous seasons
in this country. and his mother has
been his able lieutenant in all his bus.
mess AHA rs, and to her he ascribes his
financial success. She Is his bank, and
sound bank she is, too. Early in the
morning, as soon as the great show
reaches a place to exhibit, she enters
the ticket Office and keeps straight her
sons cash accounts. Leading circus
managers assert that for clear knowl-
edge of the minute affairs of the man
agement of circuses she is surpassed by
no person in the world. A lady Of
moderate dcmeanor, loved and respect
ed by all, the company cannot fail to
have her influence felt by those who
surround her. Mrs. Cole was one Of
the famous Cook family of England,
which name is one of the oldest in the
ring"
Mr. Cole, suppose, relies largely
uyon his mothers advice ?"
Suppose nothing. You can rely on
il. Let me tell you little incident
When we were in Melbourne, Australia,
big storm came up, which threatened
the canvas. Mrs. Cole promptly gave
her orders to have everything secured
carefully about the tent; she was rs
cool as a cucumber Our boss canvas
man was great, big, burly cross
grained chap, who was impressed with
the idea that he owned the establish
ment. He was terribly exc ted over
the orders given by Mrs. Cole, and
sought out w. w. and made his grv-
anco known. My friend, said Mr..
Cole, calmly, if my mother orders YOU
to turn all the animals in the mcaage-
RE loose or to cut down the center
pole YOU do it ut once, She never
makes any mistakes. The man never
made any more complaints.

BILIOUSNESS.

Every third person you meet is troubled
more or less with biliousness, and don't
know how to get rid Of it. The causes
are easily recorded. A lack of sufficient
exercise, eating too much by persons of
sedentary habits, indulgence in too rich
food where an excessive quantity is not
taken, q sluggish torpid liver where the
blood does not do its duty, and bile is
allowed to accumulate; these cause the
whites of the eyes to turn yellow, the skin
to look thick and coarse, and the COM
plexion yellow or dark. These are sure
indications of biliousness. Relief can be
had and should be had at once. Browns
Iron Bitters is the remedy. II acts di-
rectly upon the blood, cleanses and puri-
fies it, and sends it on its journey through
the channels of the liver. stirring up its
action, giving to 1t activity and vigor,
and clearing out the bile. 1t will remove
the yellow tinge from the eyes and the
complexion leaving the latter fresh and
clear. 1t will open the pores ofthe skin
and remove the thick cloudy appearance.
Browns Iron Bitters cures biliousness.

DYSPEPSIA.

Many people who are irritable, nervous
and easily disturbed, whose physical and
mental conditions are much disordered,
naturally possess the pleasantest and
most agreeable manners and disposition.
The cause of their irritation and dis
turbed condition of their organization is
their suflerings from the horrors of dys-
pepsia. The stomach has been over
worked and refuses to do its duty. They
are unable to take much food and what
they do take fails to assimilate, and heart
burn and belching indicate their condi-
ton. Nothing will give these sufferers
such speedy and sure relief as Browns
Iron Bi!ters. 1t furnishes just the aid
needed to assimilate the food and gives
strength to the stomach to perform its
work, cures heartburn and belching, gives
renewed appetite and cures dyspepsia.
Then instead Of loosing flesh daily the
patient rapidly regains what has been
lost and grows healthy and strong.

INDIGESTION.

Many suffer from this form of stomach
troubles who have little idea of the
pleasures of life of perfect health.
Browns Iron Bitters acts as n corrective
of the causes which produce indigestion.
Having removed the cause and cured
the disease continued use of the remedy
for short time will make the sufferer to
feel like new person. Were these three
diseases the only ones which Browns
Iron Bittters will cure it would indeed
be boon to the public, but so great has
been the knowledge and skill employed
in the combination and manufacture of
this valuable remedy that its curative
properties extend to all diseases of the
stomach, liver, and kidneys.

A Suspicious Character.

Last Friday afternoon j. c. Miller
was arrested on the charge of being

The day he stuck to him like brother,
drinking whenever West would tr!at,
which was as long as West could stand
up. West had put his team up at
wagon yard, and when he became Gun
conscious" as he called it, Miller took
him to the wagon yard to sleep it of.
When West awokc to consciousness
he discovered that part of his money
was gone. lie had Miller arrested.
Saturday the mayor fined Miller $40,
the extent of the law. He asked tor
another hearing Monday morning.
when he expected to prove a good
character by Engineer Beach. This
morning Mr.. Beach appeared in court
and gave Miller a good character, but
other witnesses were brought forward
who testified against Miller, and the
mayor saw no reason to change his de-
cision Of Saturday.
