To help the right side is not only
commendable in a general point of view,
but is judicious and prudent when
that help is enlisted in behalf of the
right side of the body, just over the
lower ribs in the region of the liver.
The most efficient help is afforded by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an anti
bilious medicine of incompatible eff
cacy. Inaction of the liver is accom-
panied by constipation, sick-headache,
furred tongue, nausea, occasional YER
tigo, an unpleasant breath, yellOwness
of the skin and ball of the eye. The au-
thor of these symptoms, liver complaint,
routed by the Bitters is accompanied
by them IN its flight. Fever and ague,
which always involves the liver, .dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, debility and kid
ney troubles are all maladies to the
early relief and finally court of which
this standard medicine is adapted.
Don't use it by fits and starts. but sys-
tematically, that its full effects may
result in perfect restoration of health

smallpox q, Mcpherson

MCPHERSON, Kans., Feb. 25.-On
Monday last DR.. Fee, of Kansas City,
informed our authorities of the exist
ence of smallpox in this city. There
were seventeen cases of smallpox and
varioioid, all Of which were taken
charge of by the city authorities and
placed under strict quarantine. No
new cases have been developed since.
Three deaths have occurred, one adult
and two infants of these cases, having
been treated for chicken pOx. The
disease was brought to this city by a
child who was brought here by its
father. Every case can be traced to
this source. All persons exposed or
Quarantined and every precaution
taken to prevent its spread. There is
but little fear of further spread, and
while it is expected that it will be
under complete control in a week,
there is no danger to be apprehended
by persons visiting this city.

CONDITION OF WHEAT.
The General Condition is Weak-The
Best Report from Kansas.

The General Condition is Weak-The
Best Report from Kansas.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 24.-The
Northwestern Miller yesterday pub
lished review of the condition of the
winter wheat crop, compiled from ex-
tensive reports. The following is a
summary:
There has been very decided change
in the weather conditions of the winter
wheat district since February 10. With
the exception of some small areas in
Michigan and the states of Pennsyl-
vania and New York, the entire crop
is now bare of snow. From the 18th
or less freezing and thawing weather;
from the 10Th to the 10th, beautiful.
spring-like weather, followed by very
sudden and severe freeze. The pros
poets now are that there is an entire
difference in the coming out of the
early and late SoWn wheat, and this
season this will cut a much more i'm
portant figure in the crop than usual,
for the reason that very large per-
centage of the crop was sown late.
We are now in the midst of the first
critical period of the trials and strug-
and 1883. The movement of winter
wheat, while it has been small 80 far
during February, out of farmers
hands, is even smaller at present than
at any time since harvest. with no
probability of any change until we have
some definite facts either for better or
worse. AS to the final outcome of the
crop from the region of Ohio reports
are generally favorable, the Texas
crops being in the best condition.
Leaving the territory south of the Ohio
river and commencing east of New
York, where they have had a general
thaw, we still find considerable snow
on the wheat, and so far the complaints
are as to the condition of the crop.
This area, comprising Michigan, Indi-
ana, Illinois and Ohio, yielded in 1887,
in round numbers, 1872 10000 bushels
of wheat and is the most important
portion of the winter wheat belt. The
reports from these states bring out very
forcibly this fact, that the late sown
wheat to-day is in weakly condition.
It looks to-day as if the conditionof the
wheat in Kansas was better than in
any other state in the winter wheat

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2S:-The
national democratic committee met
this morning at 10 O'Clock in secret
session to continue the balloting for
the selection of the city in which the
democratic convention shall be held.
Mr.. Scott moved that pending business
be suspended SO that a motion might
be made to reconsider the vote by
which July 8 was decided upon as the
date for holding the convention. This
was lost by vote of % to "A, but
another effort to change the date
which was successful.
After the first ballot there was a
recess taken. but before the result was
announced Mr.. WEIGH, of Georgia,
arose in his place and stated that he
had thus far voted constantly for San
Francisco. but as he was satisfied that
city would not be selected he would
vote for st. Louis. Other changes
followed and st. Louis was chosen.
Mr.. Scot of Pennsylvania moved re-
consideration of the resolution
naming July Bird as the date for the
convention. this was agreed Co and on
motion of Ex-senator Mcdonald, June
5 was fixed upon as the date.

Harlsn,s Opinion.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-Justice HARLAN
read an opinion in the United States
circuit court this afternoon disposing
of three cases affecting the ownership
and possession of the lake front. The
court holds that whatever rights
the Illinois Central railroad had are
derived either directly or indirectly
from the United States. The railroad
is shown to be the owner of the water
piers in front of which the depot piers
have been built. The court concludes
as follows: 1t is the opinion of the
court that the general government
upon the showing made by it has no
title in any of the streets or grounds
described in said information, and
has no standing in court. The
suit was brought by the state on
relation of attorney general of the
state against the Illinois Central Rail-
road in Chicago, IN the State court,
March 1, 1888. On the petition of the
Railroad Company the case was re-
moved to the United States Circuit
Court for the northern district of Ill
nois. The property claimed by the
railroad contains some 1000 feet be-
yond the line of the government
breakwater, establishing the outer
harbor. A modest estimate of the
rights claimed by the railroad places
their value at $100,000,00O
