DAWES DAMAGES.

Judge Thayer Says il FotherinSham Re
duces His Damages to $4,000 He Will
Let the Judgment Stand.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2E-Judge Thayer this
morning rendered hiC decision on the mo-
ton for a new trial made by the Adams
Express Company in the damage suit OF
David S. Fotheringham for false i'm
prisonment.
The court held that the $50, 900 damages
awarded Fotheringham by the jury was
excessive, and ruled that unless Fother
ingham RENTED 5000 OF the judSme {
within five days the court would grant the
motion for a new trial.
Chas. P. Johnson, who is one of Fother-
ingham's attorneys, is in favor of accept
ing the judges recommendation. He said:
II do not know what my associate coun-
sci, Mr.. Harvey, thinks of Judge Thayer's
decision, but have very high opinion Of
the Judge, and if, after carefully consider
ing the case, he advises a settlement for
1900, 1 certainly am in favor Of settlin g
oil that basis. A new trial means much
vexatious work, aud if an appeal is taken
a very great expense would be involved"
Judge Martin, of Martin, Laughlin &
Kern, attorneys for the Adams Express
Company, said: 1--WE have but just heard
of Judge Thayer's decision, and we have
not had time to consider it; but l think
the company will take an appeal. Foth-
eringham heretofore offered to settle for
$4,000, but we doa't consider him entitled
to one cent?

THE KILLING OF GARCIA.
Telegram From the Collector of Customs

Telegram From the Collector of Customs
at Brownsville, Tex.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Acting Secre-
tary Thompson has received the following
telegram from the collector of customs at
Brownsville, Tex:
"An armed mob has possession of Rio
Grande City on account of the killing of "a
Mexican by a customs officer in personal
encounter. The officer went to Fort Ring
gold for protection. The civil authorities
of Starr County are powerless. Please
obtain orders To be telegraphed for the
military at Ringgold to protect the custom
house and citizens until the danger is over.
The necessity is urgent as lighting is hourly
expected. Orders have been sent by car
rier to Fort Brown. The line to Ringgold
has been cut by the mob.'
Secretary Thompson replied to the col
lector asking if the situation at Rio Grande
City last night was still of a character to
require the presence of United States
troops, but received no answer up to the
hour of closing the department. A letter
was also prepared requesting the Secre-
tary of War to send troops to Rio Grande
City for the protection of Government
property. In the absence, however, OF
word from the collector that the necessity
for troops still existed, Secretary Thomp-
son did not sign the latter and decided to
take no further action till to-day.

Circular From the New Commaader-fn-
Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic
Urging the Comrades to Renewed Zeal in
Promoting the Succe $ of the Organiza-
ton and IT. Principles
WASHINGTON, Sept. a3-Representative
Warner, OF Missouri, in his official ca
pacity as COMMUNICATIVE Chief of the

lCIrcular Letter. No. IL
CoNRADES:-The COMMANDMENT Chief, upon
assuming the duties of his office, desires TO
touch elbows and keep step with the depart
ment commanders and all the comrades. that
there may be no break along the line. II is his
hope that this year will be one of earnest ac-
tive work. Every Grand Army post should be
recruiting station. There is necessity for
this We are confronted with the fact that
thousands OF honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors OF the rebellion are not members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The names o.
all of these, our old companions-in-arms. who
live in a reasonable distance of a Grand Army
post should be found on our rolls. Until this
is done our organization has not reached its
maximum. II is for you, comrades, 10 say
whether We shall advance or retreat. We can
not stand still We must advance.
Let it be Understood that in 1878
the politics or religion OF a
comrade was rot questioned, that as
then We did not permit differences on those
questions to divide US, so it shall be now. Fra
ternity, Charity and Loyalty is a platform
broad enough for every survivor OF the Union
army to stand upon. Standing upon that plat
form, the spirit of true comradeship protects =
comrades sectarian and political opinions
from even adverse criticism. His opinions on
these questions he is entitled 70. With them
his comrades have nothing TO do, save TO re-
spect them and to protect him in the free ex-
ercise of the same. AS members OF the grand
est civic organization in the world, let us, one
and all hold this line. As officers. let US prac-
sonably hope to increase in numbers and use
fulness and strengthen the bonds of comrade-
ship that should bind the veterans of the Union
army and navy one to another-a comradeship
the warp and wool Of which are fraternity and
charity woven IN the loom of loyalty,
Comrades, the Commander-in-Chief asks that
which ne believes he will receive-yOur active
cooperation in advancing the lines OF our order.
With your assistance much can be accom-
plished; without it, his labors will be in vain.
Department commanders will. at as early a
day as possible, notify these headquarters Of
the time and place of holding the encampment
in each department. This letter is subscribed
by your comrads, in F., c. and L.,

Log Cabin Success.
What ais the Young menl

What ais the young men!
Robert CARROTS father left him a fort
une of twenty millions. He was from child
hood reared in luxury; he received splen-
did education with an especial training into
q thorough knowledge of railroad manage
ment and was expected to succeed his father
as a railroad king.
Within three years after the responsible
ties which his fathers death threw upon
him were assumed, he is reported broken
down man, with mind and health perma-
nently shattered.
George Law Is another young man left
with millions Of money, who is reported
among the wrecks" His father, bred a
stone-mason, was of gigantic size and
strength, with commensurate brain power.
so he became a great contractor, then a
railroad king and left half dozen millions
for his son to dissipate. The young man is
success as dissipator.
The founders of both of these great es-
tates were born in the most humble walks
of life, grew strong, mentally and physical
ly, by simple living and honest labor and
developed into financial giants. Their sons
were reared in the lap of luxury and devel-
oped into intellectual pigmies.
The great men of our country have not,
dS d Tulc, COuc IrOm INC elegant mansions
of the cities, but from the Log Cabins of the
rural districts. Simple ways of living,
freedom from dissipation and enervating
pleasures, simple remedies for disease, ef-
fective and which leave no poison IN the
system, develop b-awny, brainy men, who
compel the world to recognize their
strength and power.
the wholesome, old fashioned Log Cabin
remedies are the safest and surest for fam
lily use. Our grandmothers knew how to
prepare the teas and syrups Of roots, herbs
and balsams which drive disease out of the
system by natural methods and leave no
after ill effects. The most potent of these
old-time remedies were, after long and
searching investigation, secured by h. II.
Warner of safe cure fame, and are now
put out for the "healing of the nations in
the Warmers Log Cabin remedies.
Regulate the regulator with Warmers
Log Cabin sarsaparilla and with pure blood
giving health, strength, mental and bodily
vigor, you may hope to cope successfully
with the most gigantic financial problems
of the age, without wrecking health and
manhood.

MISSIONARY WORK.
The Difficulties and Discouragements I'm
der Which 1t Began.

der Whlch It Began.
When Carey, the father of Protest
ant missions in Bengal. propounded at
the meeting of Baptist ministers a
century ago the duty of preaching the
gospel to 1.-The heathen," the aged
president is said to have sprung up in
displeasure and shouted: Young man,
sit down. When God pleases to con-
vert the heather He will do it without
your aid or mine" A second Pente-
cost, he thought, must pr ecede such
work. To another pious Nonconform-
ist divine the proposal suggested the
thought: "If the Lord would make
windows in Heaven might this thing
be-" Ministers of the Kirk of Scot
land, which has since labored so nobly
for the education of India, pronounced
the idea to be ''highly preposterous,"
and extolled the simple virtues of the
untutored savage. A Bishop of the
Church of England, the church whose
missionaries now compass the earth,
argued publicly and powerfully in OPP
position to such schemes. The British
nation as represented in Parliament
declared against them. Its servants
in the East regarded the missionaries
as dangerous breakers of the law. But
for the benevolence of Hindu
money-changer the first missionary
family in Bengal would have been
without a roof. But for the courage
of petty Danish Governor the next
missionary party would have been
seized by our authorities in Cal
cutta and shipped back to
Europe. A hundred years ago the
sense of the churches, the policy of
Parliament, the instinct of self-preser-
walton among the Englishmen who
were doing England's work in distant
lands, were all arrayed against the
missionary idea. The missionaries
had to encounter not less hostile, and
certainly better founded, prejudices
among the non-Christian peoples to
whom they went. For until a century
ago the white man had brought no
blessing to the darker nations of the
earth. During three hundred years he
had been the despoiler, the enslaver.
the exterminator of the simpler races.
The bright and brief episode in Penn
sylvania stands out against grim
background of oppression and wrong.
In America ancient kingdoms and CIV
ilizations had been trodden out beneath
the hoofs of the Spanish horse. In Al
RIGA, the white man had organized
great export train in human flesh. In
South Asia cities had been sacked,
districts devastated by the Portuguese.
Throughout the Eastern Ocean, the
best of the nations of Europe appeared
as rapacious traders, the worst of them
as pirates and buccaneers. In India.
which was destined to be the chief
field of missionary labor, the power
had passed to the English without the
sense of responsibility for using their
power Alright. During whole gener-
alton the natives had learned to re-
gard us as people whose arms it was
impossible to resist, and to whose
mercy it was useless to appeal. Even
the retired slave trader of Bristol
looked askance at the retired nabob
from Bengal.-Mneteefatb Century.

MAYvILLE, \. Y, Dec. 2, 1885,
am glad to say, from long personal ex-
perience with ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs,
that am able to endorse all the good things
that have ever been said about them, and
supplement these by saying that frankly
believe their value can not be estimated
Their breadth of usefulness is unlimi ted,
and for prompt and sure relief to almost
every ache and pain that flesh is heir to,
no other remedy, in my opinion, either ex-
Sernal or internal, equals them in certainty
and rapidity. Ihave used them at one time
for rheumatism, another for backache,
again for bronchitis, always with the same
result-a speedy cure.

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when
DIR. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,
etc, were called Bitters. Had he called it
Prickly Ash Regulator" " Curative" or
almost anything but Buffers, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepare
lions of similar character. The name Bit
tiers is misleading; it Is purely a medicine,
