FOUND AT LAST.

He had to overturn thousand sheets TO
find a missing page, and every sheet he
turned made him madden, until, growing
furious, he threw the bundle down and then
upturned the very one he wanted. 1t was
the last page, of course. This provoking
state of things often occurs in Thousand
different ways. Look for anything and
among many things it is the last to come
to hand. But to those of 1nethodic turn
the perplexity seldom comes nor to men OF
observation who closely watch all things
there is no confusion or delay in knowing
where to find them. It is so in every
thing; even in pain and misery. There IS
scarcely an individual sufferer who strikes
the best thing first. At first he begins by
thinking it will cure itself, and suffers on
with groundless hope. By this time it has
become a chronic agony from a slight
disturbance to the functions. He tries
some simple home relief which never
mitigates 1t is the strangest evidence OF
this perversity to find among thousand
letters the self-same procrastination. One
says, Il tried numberless and then"
"Fried many until" "All sorts were tried
and finally Yes, all sorts were tried and
finally they tried the best and only cure.
Why make the best, known as such all
the world over, the last tried, meanwhile
suffering the acutest agony, when it can
be had of every druggist? Many have
suffered 40, 80, 20, Is years with chronic
rheumatism, when st. Jacobs Oil is just
at hand around the corner across the way,
perhaps right next door, and still they
suffered on. Others have used the best
thing first and found permanent cure at
once. "My wife was paralyzed by neu-
ralgia SO that that she could not walk

to attorneys Office, where he remained, it is
stated, until few moments before his train
left for Cincinnati. One of the attorneys of the

there was anything done to defeat the election
on Monday following it would be done probably
on Saturday night, they were on the alert;
and events justified the precaution. Late that
evening the attorney of the c., III e. d. company

that VIM. r. McKeen and others should be

were sent for, the complaint of the g., III. 81 d.

and Judge Woods announced that he would
give his decision Monday at A. NJ. under

A Falling Off In Freight Traffic.

The train records of the week ending Jan. 81
chow considerable decrease in movement
from the preceding week, and much lighter
movement than in the corresponding week of

1856 handsome increase is shown. The de-
crease last week was the most marked with the
East and West lines, the c., ST. l.. & p. hand
ling fewer at Indianapolis than in any
week in the last eighteen months Shipments
OF grain to interior and New England points are
down to a minimum. There is fair tonnage of
flour and a heavy movement of cotton, both
mostly for export, going forward, and the ship
ments of live stock up to the usual winter
age. Shipments of hard wood lumber to Eastern
markets continue TO form an mportaut feature
West-bound business is improving daily, and is
in excess of the tonnage moving westward at
the corresponding period last year. North-and-
south roads are doing as much as usual at this
season of the year. With all lines the local
business is IN excess of that of the correspond
ing period of 1887 Co al is of the leading
classes of freight moving, and the north-and-
south lines are carrying large quantities of ice,
and shipments of hogs are much lighter than at
