groups of anarchists, orders and infor-
nation are i'm parted TO the commanders
of the clubs by messengers whom none
but the commandments and higher leaders
know. 1t is the nihilistic plan. These

houses SO that sUs picion OF outsiders may
not be aroused. In each of these clubs
is a good drill master and the meetings
are held for the purpose of receiving in
structiJn in the art of warfare. They do
not drill with rifles as heretofore, as they
do not care to let the police see them
carrying guns.

bombs is one of q composition of which
broken glass is a large factor This is
intended to be carried in The pocket to
be thrown on the ground. Both police
man and prisoner would be killed. That
some of these kind have been made is
well known to the police.

THE railroads from New York westward
are quarrelIiug over transportation rates
for immigration. The ocean steamship
companies are in a chronic quarrel over
the same matter. The fact is, if the Gov
eminent would, as it should, shut down on
about two thirds of the European immi-
grafton that is at present pouring into
this country like tidal wave, neither the
railways nor the steamship companies
would have occasion to quarrel about i'm
migrant rates, and the country would at
the same time be saved from a threaten
ed inundation of superfuous and worth
ess hum anitl.

with reporter touching the Burlington
strike, he said: eve wanted certain
things of the railroad. They were
not given, and we had q

had the right to employ other men. We
made a nervy fight and have been beaten
in it. There is no use saying anything
else. It would be b. tier for the men and

and the strikers seek work elsewhere or

When They Leave Us,

The exodus of our bodily troubles is doubly
welcome if their departure is unaccompanied by
pain. 1t is the fault Of the best of commendable
cathartics, which act solely upon the bowels,
that in operating they gripe and weaken these
organs. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters produce
laxative effect, but neither causes pain weak
en- the abdominal region of the stomach This
is pre- eminently the Alternative which consti-
pated, bilious or dyspeptic person should use,
since resort TO it involves no bodily discomfort
nor produces a violent reaction. The liver is
aroused, the stomach benefited, and the habit of
body speedily and permanently improved by it.
Fever and ague. rheumatism and kidney troubles
are among the maladies for which recorded ex-
perience has proved it to be efficacious. 1t is
wholesome appetizer, and a far more reliable
tranqulIIzer OF the nerves than stomach disturb
ing narcotics and sedatlYeS

The Petroleum Producers Association
organized a shutdown movement last
fall that really shut down. AS result of
eight months operations the stock of
crude petroleum has decreased about
100000 barrels, but the alleged re-
munerative price, $1.171a per barrel, has
not been realized, the market still stag
gering along low down in the eighties
The Producers Association has been in
session at Bradford during the present
week discussing the situation and its
remedy. It is undersooi that oil doctors
are of the opinion that more shut down
and plenty of it is the only thing that
will cure the stubborn maIady with which
the oil market is afflicted. An additional
six months of suspension of drilling is
likely TO be agreed to, and if that is not
found TO be sufficient to raise the price
to the remunerative figure the dose will
be repeated.

FINISH YOUR JOBS.

Many persons seem to be always in
a hurry, and yet never accomplish
much; others never seem to be hurried,
and yet do a very great deal. If you
have fifty letters to answer, don't
waste too much time in looking over
to find which one should be noticed
first; answer the one you first lay your
hands on, and then go through the
whole pile as fast as possible.
Some begin a thing and leave it
partially completed, and hurry off to
something else. A better plan is to
complete whatever you undertake be-
fore you leave it, and be thorough in
everything; the going back and forth
from one thing to ) another wastes
valuable time.
Another thing, deliberate workers
are those who accomplish the most
work in a given time, and are less
tired at the end of the day than many
who have not accomplished half as
much. The hurried worker has often
to do his work twice over, and even
then it is seldom done in the best
manner, either as to neatness or dura-
bility. It is the deliberate and meas.
ured expenditure of strength which
invigorates the constitution and builds
up the health; multitudes of firemen
have found an early death, while the
plow-boy lives healthy and lives long,
going down to his grave beyond
threescore and ten.-HaEs Journal of

At the foot Of the hill the milk house stands.
Where the Balm OF Gilead spreads his hands.
And the willow trails at each pendant tip,
The lazy lash of . golden whip,
And an ice-cOld spring with . tinkling sound,
Makes . bright green edge for the dark green groun,
Cool as o cave In the air within,
Brave as the shelves width the FURNISHED tin

As If the disc of q single moon
Should take the hint Of q new doubloon
Burned to a coal is the amber day,
Noone's splendid fire has faded away,
And, lodged on the edge Of a world grass grown.
Like q great live ember CLOVIS the sun;
When it falls behind the crimson bars
Look out for the sparks Of the early stars.

No trace of her lineage handed down
Is leading the long deliberate line
OF the Devon red and the Durhams fine:
"Co-boss! 80 "Co-boss - and the caravan
With Q dowager swing comes down the lane
And lowing along from the clover bed
Troops over the bars with q numbering tread.

On their tripod stools like Pythian priests,
The tow-clad boys and the linsey girls
Make the COWS give dOwn" in milky swirls.

There's q seafoam swath in the driving gales,
Then boys and girls with whistle and song,
Two pals apiece, meander along

And "set" the milk in the twilight room.
