Awaits that countless army of martyrs,
whose ranks are constantly recruited from
the victims of nervousness and nervous
diseases. The price of the boon is a sys-
tematic course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the finest and most genial of
tonic nervines, pursued with reasonable
persistence. Easier, pleasanter and safer
this than TO swash the v~ictualling depart
ment with pseudo-tonics, alcoholic or the
reverse, beef extracts, nerve food, marco
tics, sedatives and poisons in disguise.
Tired Natures sweet restcrer, balmy
sleep" is the providential recuperant Of
weak nerves, and this glorious franchise
being usually the consequences of sound
digestion and increased vigcr, the great
stomachic which ~insures both is produc-
tive also of repose at the required time.
Not unrefreshed awakens the individual
who uses it, but vigorous, clear headed
and tranquil. Use the Bitters also in
fever and ague, rheumatism, kidney trou-
bles, constipation and billiousness.

OIL AND
These Products Discovered Within n
Few Miles OF Cheyenne.

John Ellison, the machinist, is the pres
ent possessor Of a secret which promises
to speedily enrich him. Within three
months Mr.. Ellison will be famed as the
Cheyenne petroleum and plumbago king.
He has distributed about the city speci.
mems from both finds, which are in close
proximity TO each other and only about
thirty-five miles from Cheyenne. Mr..
Ellison is very r%eticent concerning the cl
dorado, but the specimens, which he as
serts were found near the surface, tell n
story of richness. The petroleum is
black, contains a crystal formation and
ignites with the rapidity of g~unpowder.
The plumbago is gray, quite soft and
brittle.
All particulars in regard to the finds
will be made public at an early day. The
discoveries and l~ocators do not wish to
cause a rush to the district until they are
absolutely positive that the products of
their claims are valuable, and that the
mines can be operated economically. They
arc very slnguinc, however, and are con
fident that Laramie county will soon have
n great boom in oil and plumbago. The
] liter is quite common in this section and
it has been known FOR some time that oil
had been discovered near Cheyenne years
