PIE FAILURE of Levi NJ. Bates, the
New York dry goods man, for liabili-
ties, estimated at about $780, 900, is an
indication of dull business and hard
luck-hard luck especially for the
Large force Of employees thus suddenly
turned out. The fact that Mr.. Bates
acknowledges himself to be worth
$3.50, 900, "his own money" and that
his wife is worth S150,000, "her own
money" seems to show, however, that
the sagacious merchant, even if he did
miss it on a dry summer took good
care to provide for rainy day.

TuE SCHOOL CENSUS of Baltimore,
which has Just been completed under
the direction Of Marshal Frey, shows
an attendance of 60,S55 at the public
schools OF that city, which is a graft
fyine exhibit. 1t also shows that
80. $40 children attend no school at
ali, which is not so gratifying. The
Baltimore Sun says:
These are rather startling figures, and seem
toshow that nearly half Of the children In
the city arc not enjoying the educational
facilities offered by our public and private
school systems The figures are somewhat
Tnisleading, however, as they represent a
Iarge class of persons not children except In
the eyes OF the law, who have already re-
oeiyed scholastic advantages and are now
angaaed In the practical WORK oflife. STILL

Queer Fits and Starts.

The FITS and starts-using these words in their lit
ersl meaningof the people often strike the
beholder as iudicrous- The nerves OF hearing oil
such unfortunates are painfully acute, ana I'M
pinged by abrupt, unexpected noises, ieaa ulen
sometimes to perform antics worthy Of II jumping
iack At the root of nervousness in most instances is
non-assimilation OF the food, and consequently nnu-
triton of the OF the other tissues OF the body
This prolonged is, of course productive OF serious
nervous diseases. The remedy is Hostetters
stomach Bitters that invigOrate the stomach and
enables It to perform its functions properly. Soon
after commencing course of it, 1t will DC found that
the nerves grow more tranquil by day, nightly re-
pose becomes less interrupted, and appetite more
vigorous and satisfying These tho initial indi-
cations. followed by the complete restoration OF
nervous vigor. The btters also fever and

when three years old and last year made a mile
in 2:19lh. He was valued at $4,000. Five
year old stallion Clifton Bell, by Electioneer,

Lowell, by Schultz st. Clair, 5000 Two bay
geldings foaled in 1882, either Of which could
make Ops with ease. They were by Election

the horses badly burned were NOriaine and
Cedric Norlaine was by NOrval, dam Elaine

He was valued at $4,000. Ii is believed that
the animal will recover but he was SO badly

he will be blind. Bay colt Cedric, by Election

The Danger Before Us.

We have already alluded to the importance
OF hOusekeepers paying more attention to the
kind OF baking powder used IN leaYenlng their
bread This Is q matter to which we cannot
draw attention too often, because IL is some
thing which involves the most serious conse-
ouences TO the general body of mankind. Tenn
perance apostles tell us-and there is ample
foundation for the statement-that there is
disease, both moral and physical, in the intoxl-
eating cup; and in Tho same way there Is dis
ease, slow perhaps but certain, IN the lime and
alum leayening agents employed in many Of
the homes of this continent
No punishment is too severe for those manu-
facturers who place these poisonous alum and
lime baking powders before the public with
the assurance that they are pure and whole
some articles In the belief of the truth of
such statements, such baking powders are used
largely in the preparation OF food, and III this
way the poisonous ingredients are taken into
the system without a suspicion OF their pres
ence. BY and by, come spells OF headache, dis
treSs in the stomach loss OF appetite, tiutter-
ing OF the heart: the child Is seized with an APP
parenty causeiess cough. The coating of the
stomach is DESTROYED, perhaps: one of the vital
organs is rendered almost useless the kidneys
are attacked with Bright's disease The health
of the child is irreparably broken down; the
adult becomes a chronic invalid. These are the
doings OF the modern cheap baking powders
that are composed of lime and alum, or that
contain sulphurie or phosphate acids.
In view of these facts surely all housewives
should exercise the care that is, we know ex-
ercised by some in the selection of proper
I brand of baking powder She who does not do so,
whether the neglect is the result of ignorance
| or reckleSsness cannot free herself from the
responsibility for the health, perhaps life,
| thereby endangered. No housewife need be
! ignorant of the quality OF the composition
! of the article which she uses 10 leaven her
! bread, biscuit and cake. The official reports OF
! the government chemists, who are certainly un-
preiudiced, have been published and show very
| clearly the quality and strength of all the
! baking powders in the market The Royal
| Baking Powder, which is accessible at every
! hand, is reported absolutely free from lime,
alum, phosphate acid, any injurious ingre-
/ dent II is further stated by the most emil
/ nent authorities of food hygiene that food
! leavened with il is more wholesome than wheI;
! raised by any other method. Its use is there
I fore to be commended 1t is TO be regretted
! that no other baking powder, when there are
so many in the market some of which viii ind
their way into USE is free from all OF these sub
stances The official analysts assure us, how
ever that all except the Royal contain either
/ lime or alum The hoUsekeeper who regards
the health of her loved ones should not only
order the Royal, but make personal examina
] ton to be sure that no other brand Is sent TO
/ her in its place.

CARTHAGE, Ill, April 21.-John S. Delano
OF LaHarpe, whose arrest on charges of bigamy
was noted yesterday, is veteran OF the Next
can and civil wars He married Matilda Poole
of Norwich, o., and deserted her in 1915. He
then married Mary Avery, a widow, at Auburn,
Ia. She died, leaving four children Delnno
married Hannah Conrose at BOscObel, Wis,
during the civil war and she died few months
afterward His next victim was Ellen Battles
OF ClairmOunt, Ia, whom he deserted in 1867.
. He married Elizabeth Fritz at Boscobel, Wis,
, and deserted her. He then married Mary
Holmes, residence unknown, and she met the
same fate. On eb. IA, 1871, he married Mrs.
Marie Fields at Iron Hill, la. They moved
to Clinton and there it was thought De-
lano was murdered by man named Lyman
kellogg. He was assaulted by such person
but was not killed. DelanO fled to La Harpe
in this county in 1871 1872, and has since
farmed in that vicinity. He married his eighth
wife, Mrs Sarah Atwater, at Fountain Green
in this county in February, 1884. His seventh
WIFE, Mrs. Maria Fields of Clinton, attempted
TO get a pension for Delano's service in the
Mexican war, believing him to be dead
Delano had applied for pension, and Mrs
Fields finding out that he was alive, came on
from Clinton last Wednesday and had Delano
arrested for bigamy. 1t is said that DelanC
has made two attempts TO marry since his mar
rage to Mrs. Atwater.

Is this wonderful generation the natu-
raj result of the proper diet and medi
cines of hundred years ago?
1t is conceded in other lands that most
of the wonderful discoveries of the world
in this century have come from this coun-
try. Our ancestors were reared in log
cabins. and suffered hardships and trials
But they lived and enjoyed health to a
ripe old age. The women of those days
would endure hardship without apparent
fatigue that would stSrtle those of the
present age.
Why was itf
One of the proprietors Of the popular
remedy known as Warmers safe cure
has been faithfully investigating the
cause, and has called tc his aid scientists
as well as medical men, impressing upon
them the fact that there cannot be an
effect without a cause. This investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that in the olden
times simple remedies were administered,
compounded of herbs and roots, which
were gathered and stored in the lofts Of
log cabins, and when sickness came on,
these remedies from natures laboratory
were used with the best effects.
What were these remediesS What
were they used forl After untjring and
diligent search they have obtained the
formulas so generally used for various
disorders.
Now the question is, how will the
olden time preparations affect the people
of this age, who have been treated, under
modern medical schools and codes, with
poisonous and injurious drugs. This
test has been carefully pursued, until
they are convinced that the preparations
they now call Warmers Log Cabin Rene
dies are what our much abused systems
require.
Among them is what is known as
Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapsrilla, and
they frankly announce that they do not
consider the Sarsaparilla of so much
value in itself as it is in the combination
of the various ingredients which together
work marvelously upon the system. They
also have preparations for other diseases,
such as "Warner's Log Cabin Cough and
Consumptive Remedy" Log Cabin
Hops and Buchu Remedy" Warner s
Log Cabin Scalpine" for the hair. They
have great confidence that they have a
cure for the common disease of catarrh
which they give the name of LOG Cabin
Rose Cream Also LOG Cabin Plaster
which they are confident wilt supplant
all others, and Liver Pill, to be used
separately OF in connection with the
other remedies.
We hope that the public will not Be
disappointed in these remedies, but vii
reap benefit from the Investigations
and that the proprietors will not be EN-
barrassed in their introduction by dealers
irving to substitute remedies that have
been so familiar to the shelves of oul
druggists. This line of remedies viii b
used instead of others. insist upor
your druggist getting them for you if III
hasn't them yet in stock, sud we fee
confident that these new remedies viii
receive appreciation at CIR readers
hands, as the founders have used ever,
care in their preparation.

Roscoe Conkling.

By the death of Roscoe CoSKLING the
country loses brilliant lawyer and one
OF the greatest of party leaders. His adj
mirers and followers, who were formid-
able in numbers and influence to the last,
although he had been withdrawn for
nearly seven years from active particlpa-
ton in political affairs, will also claim for
him the rank of great statesman. To
that distinction we think he had no valid
title. His long career in congress, dis
inguished as it was in many respects,
eft little impress upon legislation, AID
the future historian VIII in vain search
the organic law and the statutes OF the ma
ton for any enduring testimony TO his
constructive genius or his skill in the ap-
plicatio1 of great principles in the practl-
cal treatment Of political and econor.-
problems. Ii was as an organizer that
Mr. CoNf1LING had no superiors among his
contemporaries, save, possibly, Mr.. TIL
DEN. and his methods were rs different as
possible from those of that remarkable
man. Mr.. CoNKLING was a rigid disciplin-
arian, and believed that political party
should be organized and conducted upon
the same principles that obtain IN an
army. He considered it essential that
there should be single directing will,
and that in his own party that viii should
be his own. He insisted that all subordi-
mates in the organization should yield I'M
pIicit and unyielding obedience 10 the
commands OF their superiors. Independ-
encc of thought or action on the part OF a
fellow partisan, even upon minor matters,
he regarded as crime, and he showed no
mercy TO those who practiced it. He
cherished the doctrine that Ito the victors
belong the spoils," and regarded public
Offices as the legitimate rewards OF partisan
activity While in the senate he devoted
most OF his time to the distribution OF
patronage, and when Presidents HAYES
and GARFIELD abridged his opportunities
in this direction he quilted public life i'll
disgust, never to re-enter it.
He was a man Of intense individ-
uslity; a good friend but bitter enc.
my; proud, self-willed, and arrogant;
passionately fond of power; inordi-
nately ambitious and excessively
vain, alike OF his physical and intellectual
gifts. He was an eloquent and fascinating
orator, a ready debater and an excellent
parliamentarian His personal integrity
was never questioned. He passed through
IN era Of profigacy and corruption with
clean hands, and was proof against the
temptations to illicit gain which, during
his public career, proved the ruin OF SC
many Of his contemporaries. But for Ger
tain unfortunate defects of temperament
which are sufficiently indicated in the
foregoing, Mr.. CoNKLING might easily have
taken rank as the foremost republican
statesman OF his day, and would probabl!
have been president Of the United States
